ROCKEFELLER'S COUSIN
 DIES TO SAVE FRIEND
Thrown From Overturned Boat, He Tries for Shore While Compan-
 ion Clings to Can.

Muskogee. Okla. April Pl-John D. Rockefeller, IT, Muskogee High school athlete and a third cousin of the oil multi-millonairc, gave his life that a friend might survive d boating mishap near here yesterday.
 Rockefeller and Dale Decamp were thrown into the swollen Arkansas river four miles east of here when their motorboat overturned in mid stream. The boat sank immediately and an empty five-gallon can which came to the surface was the only thing to which they might cling for support.
 They sWam 10 the can but it did not have sufficient buoyancy 10 sup port both. Apparently realizing that Decamp could not swim because of heavy boots he was wearing. Rocke- fcller relinquishcd the can to his companion and started swimming for shore. 50 yards away. But he was unable to make progress against swift current and was carried rapidly downstream. He sank before persons who saw the mishap could reach him in a row boat
 Decamp was rescued after he had foated more than a mile downstream.

DEATH 0F HERRICK M0URNED IN PARIS
(Continued from First Page)
General Lasson, and Jules Niche Offered to Protect Art Buildings

General Lasson, and Jules Michel,
 Offered to Protect Art Buildings
 Frenchmen remembered more than anything else Ambassador Herrick's remaining in Paris in 1914 and how he offered M. Poincare. then president. to fly the United States flag over the Louvre and buildings containing Frances art treasures to shield them from pos- sible destruction should the Ger mans take the city.
 The funeral arrangements them selves-and the part the French na- tion would play in them-were held in abeyance pending conferences with officials in Washington, and with Mr. Herricks son. Parmely Uerrick, who was in Cleveland, Ohio. when his father died.
 There was an impression at the embassy today that the ambassa- dor's son would take the first ship to France and arrange to escort his fathers body back 10 the United States for burial at either Arlington or at his old home. Cleveland, Ohio
 The body today rested in bed in the room in which he died. IL was planned 10 have it remain there un- til Wednesday when it will be taken 10 the American cathedral and placed in special chapel, There were no floWers-like Marshal FOch, the ambassador prior 10 his death asked there be no floral display at his funeral.
 Throughout the past winter recur.

GOVERNORS ASSAIL
 0|L CONSERVATION
Three Mail Protest Against New
 Policy of President

Denver, Col, April 1 RrSigned by the governors of Colorado, Wyo- ming and Utah. firm protest against the governments new oil conservation policy was dispatched to President Hoover from Denver by airmail last night.
 Drafting of the communication followed conferences Saturday be- tween Governor William H. Adams. erson. of Wyoming, and Governor George H. Dern. of Utah.
 Although the governors declined to release the protest letter for pub lication until it reaches the presi- dent. all admitted that they had 'endeavored to state respectfully but plainly our belief to the presi dent that the drastic provisions of the administration oil policy would work irreparable injury to the Rocky Mountain west"
 The letter, it is understood. sug- gests a personal meeting between President Hoover and the gover- nors to seek less drastic interpre- tation of the new edict as it af fleets the intermountain region.
 If the president continues to exc cute the provisions Of the manifesto then, the letter is understood to state, the governors will take firm stand of opposition to such policy.
 Deny O\crprotluctiOA
 While not making public the ex- act language contained in the let ter. the governors admitted that 1t included the following observation and recommendations:
 That there is no overproduction of oil in the states most affected by the edict.
 That local reineries have only enough oil at present to keep them operating at far below capacity and that less than three per cent of the nations total oil production comes from the states Of the Rocky Moun- tain region.
 That when oil is discovered on the prospector's lease he be permit ted to take up all Of the lease in stead of only twenty-five per cent Of the area as stipulated in the new oil regulations.

New Britain herald., 1929-04-01

Where one ambassador went. the other went too. During "Lindbergh week" in Paris. the close coopera- tion of the pair of Americans did much to cement cOrdiality between the two countries.
 The visit of air airman aroused the enthusiasm of the French peo- pie to degree little short of hysteria but through all the excitement it was said Lindbergh always said the right thing at the right time. Herrick was given credit for a part in Lind bergh's steadfast refusal to permit himself to be stampeded.
 The ambassadors post in Paris was not without it's dangers. Her rick once was guarded by the po- lice. following threats of death from anarchists, angered at imposition of death sentences on Sacco and Van zetti by Massa chusetts court.
 When past 70 Herrick continued to play golf. his game being good enough to win championship cup in the Paris diplomatic tournament.

Began Life as salesman

Myron T. Herrick, diplomat. statesman. lawyer. banker and manufacturer, began his career sell ing dinner bells, parlor organs and lightning rods to the farmers of Ohio. From this humble start he rose. by virtue Of his application and ability, to the position of financier, promoter of great railroad enter prises. governor of Ohio and am- bassador.
 A close personal friend of Presi- dent Mckinley. he was offered three cabinet position by presidents of the United States and twice was appoint ed ambassador to France-tirst by President Taft in 1912 and again by President Harding in 1921. The title of colonel was given to him when he was appointed to the staff Of Mckinley when the latter was governor of Ohio
 Sticks in Talk of Foe
 Mir. Herrick attracted world wide attention as American amba ssador to France during the war by his refusal to leave Paris when the French government and the diplo- matic corps fled to Bordeaux to es- cape the threatened German inva- sion of 1914. In addition to the intri- cate matters connected with his own office. he also assumed charge of the British. Japanese and Turkish en- bassies, and by his calmness and de votion to duty in the face of great danger, is credited with having done moro than any other individual to prevent the outbreak of a disastrous panic in Paris.
 Another problem Of immense pro- portions which confronted him dur. ing the early days of the war was the necessity Of providing advice and financial aid for the thousands of American subjects stranded in France. Through the formation of an American committee, he not only assisted the needy American travel CTS but aided more than 1000 Eng fish subjects to reach their homes. These services caused the French government to bcstow upon him the Grand Cross Of the Legion of Honor.
 Organized Relief
 Another notable achievement of Mir. Herrick while in France was the American Relief Clearing house. which he organized after the tour. ist problem had been disposed of This organization took full charge of the transportation and distribution of supplies from America, which
New Britain herald., 1929-04-01

were arriving in great quantities. the War as one of the most import ant relief agencies in Europe.
 Born in HuntinEtoh, Ohio. October 3. 1854. MT. Herrick managed to at tend school and earn a living at the same time. He entered Oberlin college and Ohio Wesleyan univer- sity. but did not complete the course. That he found knowledge outside of college text books, how ever. is evidenced by the fact that among the honorary degrees bestow- ed upon him was that of doctor of laws conferred by Yale. Harvard. Columbia and Princeton.
 Turns from Law to Finance
 Admitted to the bar in 1878. he had practiced law but short time when he began his financial career by organizing a national bank in Cleveland. Later he became presi- dent of the Society for Savings Tn Cleveland. director in the Erie rail- road, the National Surety company. New York Life Insurance company. and numerous other financial insti- tutlons, as well as head of the American Banks association.
 In his career as a railroad financier he was chairman of the board of directors of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad, a director of the Missouri Pacific participated in the purchase of the Western Maryland railroad and assisted the Gould railroads to enter Pittsburgh.
 Friend Of Mckinley
 MT. Herick was governor of Ohio from 1903 to 1905. He was one of the staunchest friends of President Me kinley. came 10 his assistance when he nfet with financial reverses. and was also treasurer of the Mckinley Memorial association For long time he was a mem Der of the exc cutive committee of the republican party.
 On his return from Paris in 1914 an enthusiastic group of friends in Cleveland attempted 10 start a move ment to nominate him for the presi- dency. but Mir, Herrick declined these honors declaring that he would not capitalize whatever credit was due him for European service.
 While in France Colonel Herrick made a study of agricultural finance and worked out with the French government a plan for the exchange between the two countries Of information on farm finance. I've cannot hope for an increase in food production unless deserving farmers can get low rates and long periods on money" he declared.
 Colonel Herrick married Carolyn NJ. Parmely, daughter of NJ. R. Parmely of Dayton. Ohio. June 30. 1880. Mrs. Herrick died in 1918. A son Parmely Webb Herrick, resides in Cleveland.
 Impressive tn Appearance
 1t was said Of Ambassador Herrick that he looked the part. He had a tall figure. slightly stopped. 4 voice Of fine tmbre. combined with an at tractive geniality. increased the charm of his personality.
 One of the most trying situations in his post war diplomatic service was the difficult task Of presenting the views Of his government in ne- gotiations on the Franco American problem Of war debts.
 Another trying situation developed when he became the Paris host of Charles A. Lindbergh, when the Hone eagle" flew from New York to Paris, on the first stop air voy- age between the two cities.
 Herrick hailed Lindbergh as the "new ambassador of America"
New Britain herald., 1929-04-01

rent fits of illness weakened Am he was we'll on the road to recovery. Last Tuesday he marched for three hours in the cortege of Marshal Foch. sitting for an hour before that in the draughts of the nave of Notre Dame for the religious funeral service. Wednesday he played golf with Colonel Mott, and beat him 3 and 2.
 Thursday he decided to forego the golf and old friends 'I feel that blankety blank cough again."
 Physician Called in Friday
 He spent a bad night Thursday and his daughter-in-law - his wife died in 1918 - telephOned Friday morning for Dr. H. Rabeau. assistant to his regular physician who was in south France. The physician's diag- nosis showed a bronchial attack. He gave medicine to relieve the cough ing and called in Professor Vaquez and Dr. P. Ferry Rolles. bronchial and lung specialist. One of the three was always in the house until his death.
 Yesterday morning Mrs. Herrick was informed his condition was crit ical and she called her husband in Cleveland over the telephone. An hour later she called him again 10 convey the message of his fathers 5 death.
 Mrs. Herrick. Madam Salembicr who was his secretary: Bradford. his valet, and Dr. Ferry-Rolles were with him when the end came. He was conscious until within . half hour of his going. He was cheerful, chatty. and solicitous about hs en- agreements ahead until he suddenly collapsed.
 In the course Of career which began as a peddler, Myron Timothy Herrick was lawyer, tinancier. governor of Ohio and ambassador. A republican, he was appointed am bassador to France in 1912, served until December. 19l4, and was re- appointed in 1921. William G. Shary succeeded him in 1914.

RETALIATION

No one in the village showed
much concern at the news that
Rocker was dead, for he had earn
q reputation as one who could
not be trusted. But a few months
after his funeral Rocker was re-
sponsible for a big sensation.
Have you heard about the de-
facement of Rockers to~mbstone?"
asked one villager of another as
the two met in the main street. 1t
appeared to be the one topic of con-
v~ersation in the place. But the
second villager had not heard
about it.
Whats happened?" he inquired.
Someone has added the word
friends to his epitath."
What was his epitath?"
The first villager grinned.
+" He did his best" he sail.
