thieves have departed for their
annual vacations. There have been
no robberies here on a large scale
for the last few weeks and the
police report that this is due to
the fact that most of the porch
climbers. burglars, Office thieves
and professional crooks generally
left for their favorite Summer re-
sorts with the advent of the hot
weather to rest and play, so as
to get into proper trim for their
Fall and Winter activities in the
city.
The detectives assert that all
professional crooks work under
tremendous nervous strain and
that on this account nearly all of
them spend at least a month, some
of them two or three months, at
the seashore or in the mountains
SO as to restore their nerves for

back into the crook business again.
The petty thieves, who cannot
get enough money ahead to take
rest, continue active, however.

to which l am entitled?-S. T.
A. You are entitled to the bonus
provided the commission you held
during the war as lieutenant was
not a provisional or. permanent one.
In other words, if your service was
rendered as a temporary officer, you
are entitled to the benefits. To judge
by the general terms of your letter,
you are entitled to the maximum ben
efits. The maximum benefit for serv-
ice on this side is $500, and for serv-
ice on this and the other side, too,
the maximum benefit allowed is $625.
To the sum to which you are enti-
tied add 25 per cent increase and
to that result add compound interest

which you are entitled.

Rockefeller Regards Woman, go,
As Among Dearest of Friends
Mrs. Susan J. Life Aided Oil King With Lessons ~
Years Ago-Later Headed Seminary
His Daughters attended.

Rockefeller children would be good
and so they came to our house for
the evening course of study. There
were John D., the eldest; William,
Frank, Lucy and Mary. John d. and
Lucy worked very hard at their
books, but William and Frank were
full of mischief. When these two
begin to kick each other. under the
table my father or my mother would
take them into another room and let
them play.
Stuck to His Books.
But John d. always stuck to his
books. Even then he was determined
to succeed in life. After the Rookie
feller children had been at the dis
trict school a year, the older children
were sent to the academy at owego.
John d. and Lucy were at once pro-
NOTED. We La Monte, children and
the three Rockefeller children walked
together three miles to this school in
Owego. My. but it was cold walk
in Winter.
"The late William Smyth was then
principal Of the Owego Academy. 1
went into the academic department,
and during school hours did not come
in contact with the Rockefeller chill
dren. They went two years to this
academy before they removed from
Owego. ,.--.. -...
1T has been reported that I was a
teacher of the Rockefeller brothers
at this school. 1 was never really a
teacher there, but there is founda-
tion for this impression. The precep-
tress of the school became i'll. Prin-
cipal Smyth called me to her desk
and asked me to take charge of the
room temporarily. The preceptress, 1t
turned out, was suffering from ty-
phoid fever. She did not return to
her duties for six weeks. During this
period I kept order in this room.
"The only teaching of the Rookie
feller children / ever did was at our
own home in the evening, as 1 have
said.
Tell me-" said the interviewer
was Mr.. Rockefeller good at arith-
metic?"
Excellent said Mrs. Life with a
smile
Mrs. Life is a remarkable woman
She is of more than medium height
and stately. Her hair is pure white
but her blue eyes still sparkle when
she becomes animated in conversa-
ton. Her memory of the events OF
her childhood is clean cut. She doesn't
look her age by ten years.
Mr.. Rockefeller's regard for Mrs
Life is shown by the fact that he sent
his daughters to be educated at Rye
Seminary while Mrs. Life was its
head. Some of his granddaughter
also were students in this school

MINERS EVICTION
Gompers Instructed to Ask
West Virginia Aid to End
''Inhuman Practice"
By the Associa ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., August o.
The executive council of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor today au
thorized Samuel Gompers, president,
to demand of Gov. Morgan of West
Virginia that the eviction of coal
miners from company-owned homes
in that state cease at once.
The council further pledged to the
United Mine Workers of America, an
affiliation of the American Federation
of Labor, all aid in protecting mine
workers and their families in West
Virginia." ...
A resolution adopted by the council
said in part: -
"The executive council has learned
through authoritative sources that
miners living in the mining villages
in West Virginia are being ruthlessly
evicted from their homes.
These evictions are taking place
without due process of law and are
contrary to the instincts of hu-
manity.
Calls Process Inhuman.
"The inhuman process of throwing
the miners, their families and their
household goods out of the houses
owned by the coal corporations into
the roads and byways is being car
ried out by gunmen, so-called private
detectives, who are in the employ of
West Virginia coal companies.
I'VE denounce the actions of all
these engaged in this un-American
policy of home evictions in some OF
the mining sections of West Viz
ginia. Be it resolved that President
Gompers communicate with Gov Nor
gan of West Virginia and, in the
name of the executive council, de-
mand that the State government give
to the miners of the State the protec-
tion to which they are entitled as
human beings and citizens of our re-
lilies from their humble homes by
private gunner in the employ OF coal
corporations shall cease.
To Aid Mine Unions.
BE it further resolved, that Presi-
dent Gompers advise President John
L. Lewis Of the United Mine Workers
of America of the adoption Of this
resolution by the executive council
and tender to the mine workers or
ganization such assistance as can be
given by the American Federation of
Labor in protecting mine workers
and their families in West Virginia"
The councils resolution was accom-
panied by a statement by William
Green, secretary-treasurer of the
United Mine Workers of America, in
which he declared that the average
citizen who enjoys the blessings and
protection of free government in
stinctively rebels against this in
human and un-American practice of
eviction, whatever the general public
opinion in regard to the economic
or industrial issues involved"
