HEAT BIDS FAIR TO LAST
No Let-up Promised Until Friday
Despite Showers Tonight

Philadelphians were just Dragging their
loudest to returned vacationists about
the "w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l weather we have
had" when this hot spell knocked their
praises in the head.
With the temperature flirting around
81 and the humidity ut 95. this city is in
the grip of another hot spell-evidently
summers parting shot. Today is the sec
ond day of the spell. which is general
throughout the east and which is not ex-
pected to let up until Friday and maybe
not then, according to the weathermaa.
Showers are expected tonight but the
relief gained from them will last about
as long as the pavements are wet. The
heat is unusually hard on the city in
view of the autumn-like weather that has
characterized the greater part of August
The temperature averaged IS yesterday
and probably will repeat the performance
today.
The record for heat on this date was in
1881 when the thermometer struck IS
The average maximum for this date, how
ever, is about 7S.

JEWS USHER in YEAR
5676 AT SET OF sun
Rosh Hashana Is the Oldest
Festival Celebrated in
Civilized World

At sunset today the Jews of the world
will usher in a new year. 5676. Rosh
Hashana, or the New Year Day, is one
of the most important holidays in the
Jewish calendar and will be observed
everywhere by the members of that faith
The Orthodox Jews will extend their OBJ
servance of the holiday over two days.
but the members of the Reformed syna-
gogues will bring the holiday to a close
tomorrow at sunset.
Rosh Hashana is for every plous Jew
a time of solemnity. when prayers of a
most serious nature are said. when men
turn their thoughts to a contemplation
Of the inner meanings of life. reviewing
how they have lived in the year just
passed and determining anew that their
conduct in the year to come shall follow
as closely as possible the teachings of
the Scriptures.
An announcement of the holiday sent
out by the Central Conference Of Ameri-
can Rabbis describes Rosh Hashana as
the oldest of all festivals celebrated in
the civilized world.
1T is unique for It's significance as for
its antiquity" the announcement reads.
1.-THE secular New Year Con January y
is day of Qualifications; men rejoice In
| what they have achieved; 1t is a day for
| sordid inventories. The Jewish New
Years Day. however. is a time for serl-
GUS thought on the meaning of life; IL
evokes pious contemplation of the diff
| cult and inevasible problem as to right
and wrong, and its appeal is not that we
should get more out of practical life. but
value more genuinely, more truthfully
more morally the life God has entrusted
| to us"
Special services will be held In all the
synagogues. a distinctive feature of which
will be the blowing of the shofar, ol
| rams horn, by the rabbis.

MRS. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER
PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY
Came-Hurries Home on
Special Train.

New York, March 15.-Mrs. John d.
Rockefeller, wife of the richest man
in the world, is dead. She passed
away Friday morning at 1920 at the
Rockefeller home at Pocantico Hills,
after an illness of several months. She
was seventy-fve years old last Sep
TENDER.
Although Mrs Rockefeller had been
an invalid for many months, it is un-
derstood that her death came unex-
pectedly. Her husband and her son
were at Ormond, Fla, and were ad-
vised that Mrs. Rockefeller had taken
critical turn for the worse. Mr.
Rockefeller and his son Immediately
engaged a special train. Mrs. e. Par
malice Prentice, Mrs. Rockefeller's
daughter, and Miss Lucy Spelman,
her sister, were the only immediate
relatives present when she died.
Laura Celestial Spelman Rockefel-
Ter was born in Wadsworth, Ohio, of
September 8, 1889. She was her hus-
bands junior by two months. AS
child she lived in Wadsworth, in Bur-
lington, Iowa, in Akron, Ohio, where
her father. Harvey B. Spelman,
achieved a competency in the dry
goods business, and later in Cleveland.
In the grammar school at Cleveland
she met John Rockefeller, when they
were fifteen years old.
Rockefeller was country boy. She
was the daughter of one of Cleveland S
leading citizens. His home was lit
tie farmhouse; hers, one of Cleve-
lands handsomest residences. Not
withstanding other differences, the
awkward youth and the city girl had
in common a love of study and simple
tastes. and they became fast friends.
Young Rockefeller prospered be-
yond his fairest hopes. AS soon as he
felt that he could ask her to become
his wife he did so. They were mar
ried September 8, 1864, the eve of her
twenty-fifth birthday, and started to
keep house in a little two-story brick
residence on one of Cleveland's side
streets. Upon her marriage she be-
came a Baptist, and to her religion
and her home she devoted her entire
time.
The surviving children are Alta,
wife of E. Parmalee Prentice; Edith,
who married Harold Fowler McCor-
mick of Chicago, and John d. Rookie
teller, Jr.

PRINZ EiTEL FRIEDRICH

u. S. Grain Carrier Sent Down by
German Warship After Crew
Was Rescued.

Washington, March ia most
searching inquiry will be made and
Whatever action is taken will be based
upon the results of that inquiry"
President Wilson issued this state
ment on Thursday regarding the sink
ing of the American sailing ship Will
liam P. Frye by the German auxiliary
cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich. The
president took the initiative in direct
ing the investigation and will have a
personal hand in it. That the United
States will call on Germany for proper
amends and reparation for the sinking
or the American ship was the consen-
sus of official and diplomatic circles
in Washington.
Washington, March 1.-THE Ger
man cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich
arrived at Newport News on Wednes-
day bringing the captain and crew
of the American grain vessel William
P. Frye, which the German warship
sunk at sea on January 27.
The owners of the vessel have
claimed that she carried no contra
band Of any kind. Official and diplo-
matte headquarters were much per-
turbed over the matter, but nobody
was willing to make any comment I'M.
til the facts are fully established.
The customs officials at Seattle
wire that the manifest of the William
P. Frye, which was loaded there, show
that she. carried 1852 bushels of
wheat.
The Frye sailed from Seattle on No
vember for Queenstown and Fal-
mouth. She passed Tatoosh, Wash,
the next day and had not been heard
from since. The Prinz Eitel Fried
rich officers report that, on the gound
that she was carrying contraband of
war, the warship stopped the Frye in
the South Atlantic on January q,
took off Captain Kiehne, his wife and
crew, and sunk the freighter.
The Frye was valued at S150,000
and her cargo at $280,000.

SHIP SEIZURE
DECREE ISSUED
Britain to Capture All Ships To
or From Germany.
U. S. PROPOSALS sCoRNED
Proclamation Is an Amplification of
the Statement of Premier Asquith
Before Parliament on March
Its Legal Aspect.

London, March 17.-The British for.
eign office on Monday delivered to Am
bassador Page its reply to the Amer
lean note proposing to Great Britain
and Germany the withdrawal of the
German submarine blockade provided
England would permit food to reach
German civilians. Great Britain's re-
ply is an absolute refusal.
Great Britain ON Monday struck her
promised blow against Germany. BY
issuing an order-in-council she throt-
tied Germanys commerce in a drastic
manner unprecedented in internation-
al law.
The decree practically declares a
blockade of the German North sea
coast without using the precise term.
This is contrary to all precedents,
which require the presence of blockad-
ing warships.
To complete the program of starv.
ing out the kaiser the government laid
certain drastic restrictions on neutral
commerce. These are designed to
prevent Germany from exporting or
importing any commodities through
Holland or Scandinavian countries on
the Baltic sea, the waters of which
are controlled by the German navy.
The blockade is effective at once
