ROCKEFELLER WINS
in FIGHT ON TAX
Court Grants Injunction
Restraining Collection
at Forest Hill.

Cleveland, May l3.-John D. Rock.-
Teller to-day won an important victory
in his fight to prevent the collection
Of taxes on s3ll,OOO,OOO in personal
property by Cuyahoga County. Judge
John II. Clarke, in the United States
District Court. here, granted an injunc-
ton restraining the collection. The
taxes sought 20 be obtained amounted
to Sl,50O,0OO, including a penalty Of 80
per cent for failure to pay when due.
The assessment. which is held in.
valid, was made in February, 1914,
when tax commissioners visited the
Rockefeller summer home at Fores,
Hill here. They served papers on the
oil king, which 4lleged that he had re-
NAMED in the county more than six
months of the tax year and, therefore,
under the Ohio law, was resident Of
Ohio for taxation purposes.
Judge Clarke decided that Rocke-
feller's contention that he intended 10
leave Cleveland in October, 1913, in
stead of remaining here until February
3, 1914, was due TO the illness Of Mrs.
Rockefeller and ner sister, Miss Lucy
Spellman, was a valid excuse and did
not make him an Ohio resident under
the meaning of the law, and that the
intangible property named in the as
sessment, consisting of stocks and
bonds, is located in New York, the resi-.
dence Of the owner, and not subject To
taxation here.
The suit will be carried TO the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals by the
attorneys for Cuyahoga County, and IL
the Injunction is sustained there i,
may be carried TO the United States
Supreme Court.

Sing Sings Little Green Door, Is Brown.

"Why won't you talk of the death
house, if you're so fearless ~
The prisoner squinted darkly at his
questioncr.
It's not death that man gets 70
fear in the death house. That's the
one thing that he gets not to fear.
There the bad thing is the suspense,
the monotony, the silence the idea of
being cut Off from the world. After
all hope is gone. then death seems a
relief"
as it the hope of getting out that
makes the strain so great"
Flack chuckled at the question.
Il guess not, ! guess not. That's
what makes the place bearable. But
after it's gone-your hope, | mean
why then you're so used to the idea
that you're not afraid"
DO you ever forget the fact that
you are going TO die in two weeks ~
Far from annoying him the query
struck Flack as humorous, and he
showed his teeth in a broad grin.
mo, you don't forget it"-he spoke
impersonally, rarely using the personal
pronoun-"b it gets TO be one Of
those things you. YOU

trict Attorney Wellman.
That's it, assume 1t. Do you think
about the time you will have to die ,"
he asked briskly. well, don't either,
or at least not much. But it's there,
we cant get away from it and the way
to stand it is to get so used to it that
it doesn't matter Pm not different
from the other men up there; they
get used to il and don't care"
He looked out Of the window at La
fayette Street, bright in the sunshine,
with people walking briskly to and
fro and children playing on the curb.
It was as if the city beckoned to him,
calling him back to the teeming East
Side whence he came.
IT'S all in getting used to it," he
muttered as he turned away.

And this testimony, Flack declares,
he is eager TO give, though il will win
him no mercy.
Il don't want TO talk about the death
