DECREASE MALE BIRTHS A
PROBLEM In MONTENEGRO

Cettinje, Montenegro, June 24.-An
alarming decrease in the birthrate of
Montenegro. due to the loss during the
war, of so many of the BLACK Noun.
tain's" fighting men. The government
is offering premiums to mothers who
bear male children. The females now
greatly Outnumber the males.
The incentives offered by the gov
ernment to mothers of male children
have resulted in pathetic appeals
from the untutored peasant women
to the American Red Cross nurses to
give them some medicine to make
a boy"
~ Montenegro boys are considered
much more valuable than girls, and
the constant prayer of the mountain
dweller is that he may be blessed
with a male child. This disparity in
the sexes is largely the soutgrowtE
of the days when Turkey held domin
ion over the Balkans and when the
liberty-loving Montenegrins had an ev
er-present need of men to defend the
homeland.
In Montenegro the women do all
the work the men considering manu-
al labor undignified. They feel it
their chief duty to carry firearms and
swords, talk politics, and prepare for
the next war.

Palatka, June 24.-Percy Glisson,
son of John Glisson, former chairman
of the Putnam county board of COM
missioners, was called from his ia
theirs home at BostWick at II O'Clock
last night by masked men, shot in
the arm and beaten over the head with
a pistol when he resisted. He was car
ried some distance from the house
and left on the roadside unconscious.
The sherf's office, on investigating,
developed only one fact-that the at
tackers came to PaTatka after the as
sault and crossed the ST. John river
on the bridge here toward East Pa
latka. Gllsson was not seriously in
jured. He has no idea why he was
attacked.

istrative council of the A. E. G., and
soon made name for himself
throughout the empire as a CONNER
cial magnate.
At the outbreak of the world war,
while immersed in the development
of big business on a tremendous
scale, he was offered the Office of min
lister of raw materials. His work in
that capacity obtained extraordinary
results. Upon the success of his
work depended not only the economic
life of the interior of Germany, but
also the maintenance of the far flung
German armies. His organization al
most nullified the allies blockade.
1t was not until after the war that
the actual food privation afflicted the
people. The exactions and complex
tiles OF bureaucratic life never ap-
pealed to him and he was glad to
plunge into the activities of the A.
e. G. after peace had been declared.
He dropped his chosen work with
out murmur, however. when he was
offered the portfolio Of minister of
reconstruction.

DEATH WILLIAM
ROCKEFELLER
AT TARRYTOWN
Brother of John D., At
the Advanced Age of
81, Is Victim of Pneu-
monia-Was One of
Wealthiest Men In the
United States

Tamytown, N. Y, June 24.-William
Rockefeller, oil magnate and brother
of John d. Rockefeller, died here to-
day from pneumonia, shortly before
Z o'clock.
Mr.. Rockefeller had been i'll at his
home, lockwood Hall. North Tarry,
town. since Sunday but announcement
was not made public.
Five doctors, under the charge of
Mr.. Rockefeller's personal physician
DR.. w. ]. Robertson. were in attend
ance when the end came. Practically
the entire Rockefeller family were
assembled at the death bed.
Mr.. Rockefeller who contracted a
heavy cold during the rains of the
last week end, had just completed
building a $3.50 900 mausoleum in the
Sleepy Hollow cemetery. The mauso-
leum was constructed according to
his own plans and under his personal
direction.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who was 81 years
old, had not recently been active in
business. although he was active head
of the Standard Oil Company of New
York from its establishment in 1863
until 1911.
Although somewhat overshadowed
by his elder brother. John ID. Rocke
feller. William was one of the rich
est men in America.
Almost the only time when his ac-
tiYitieS claimed much newspaper
space was in 1912 and 1913, when
the congressional committee inyesti-
eating the money trust cOmbed the
country for him as a witness. He
was finally located near brunswick
Ga. but when an effort was made
to question him in his cottage there
he was seized with such spasms OF
coughing that the committee was
warned by physicians that it might
cause his death if the examination was
continued. 1t then was admitted he
was suffering from cancer of the
throat.
Although he retained many of his
directorships Mr. Rockefeller of late
years shifted much of his business
responsibility to the shoulders of his
son, Percy
None of his Wall Street associates
have ventured an estimate of his
fortune. but it was generally believ-
ed he had between $100, 100000 and
$250.000,000 concentrated in various
Standard Oil companies, Anaconda
Copper, Consolidated Gas, Brooklyn
Union Gas, st. Paul and National
City bank. A friend recently stated
that Mr.. Rockefeller's death, when it
came, would have no appreciable eff
feet on the stock market as none Of
his holdings would be tossed on the
open market.
News of his death was received in
the street nearly an hour before the
market opened.

SAYS SEABOARD JUSTIFIED
In SENDING LOCOMOTIVES
PRIVATE REPAIR SHOPS

Washington, June 24-The Seaboard
Air Line Company was held by the
Interstate Commerce Commission to-
day to have been justified in sending
locomotives to be repaired in private
shops in 1920. even though the aver
age cost of each repair Job in the
hands of contractors was $14,913 while
the railroad cost for similar work in
it's own shops would have been $7,156.
The commission found that the rail
roads shops during 1920 were unable
to handle all the work and the over
flow had to be taken care of in order
to maintain transportation. The de-
cision came in a hearing of charges
instituted by the American Federation
Of Labor's railway department. The
commission formerly has criticised
railroads frequently for such action.
