Ormond Beach. Fla, Jan. 9.-tNEA)
Conserving his strength by playing
six holes of golf, six days a week, rath-
er than the customary eight holes in
the past; but at the same time ap-
pearing as hale and hearty, poppy
and jolly. as ever, John d. Rockefel-
Ter. ST.. in his 9lst year, again finds
happiness this winter in spreading
cheer among Ormond Beachs winter
colony.
He does not always give away dimes
and nickles this winter. but he invari-
ably passes out printed lines of wis
Com or poetry. They are as eagerly
accepted a the treasured coins.
Rain or shine, cold or hot-provid-
ed, of course, the rain is not in the
nature of a deluge or the temperature
of a bitter, biting degree-l1eighbor
John plays his daily round with vari-
Gus members of the colony.
And his game is as consistently
good this winter as 1t has ever been.
He is getting anywhere from $50 yards
or better on his tee shots and his fair
way and approach shots are true and
long. He continues to favor a bras
sic, whether playing midway to the
green or approaching, and i his
hands, the wood club is a potent
weapon.

 canclla and Bruneri disappeared over four years ago, md q man sup- posed to be one of them turned up later in the coItegno asylum.
 To give the court m event start in deciding whether canella is Bruneri or Bruneri is Cailena, th appellant was identified teniporarily as num- Der 44170. n former asylum inmate.
 The mass of contradictory evi- dence produced in the four years in which the case has been debated heatedly in Italy brought all sorts of persons 10 the front in defense of caneIla or Bruneri. The wives and families of both men have identified the unidentified man as husband and tnther.
 Many members of both families have sworn before the courts that the identified man is one of them. A rich uncle came over from Brazil to uid the CaneIias in their fight for possession of number 44170.
 The bishop of Verona. Count Della Torre.t editor of tho Vatican organ "osservatore Romano," hundreds of lawyers and professional men have offered bteir serytces to one or the other of the rival camps, Known as tho "Brunerians' and tie "canel- ists."
 Experts brought forward included psychiatrists, psychologists. detec- lives, eaIiigraphists and finger print experts. Their testimony only added to the mystery.
 The mystery man himself favors the cnneiias and went Co live with Mrs. caneila as her husband when he was released from the asylum. The BruneriHns were not. discour- r"ed and backed by two court de- cisions, swore that they would force membership In their family upon number 44i70 whether he liked 1t or not.
 The canclla family is we'll to do md the Bruneris are poor. Prof. diulio canelin was believed lost In the World war and Mario Bruneri disappeared while he was wanted by the police.

 Just what State Tax Commissioner W. II. Blodgett's attitude toward the bill Is not now known but 1t is generally understood that he will not mako any effort to further the passage of the measure. The bill, Judging from general opinions heard, Is aimed at some one board Of assessors but has been made general, with the result that Il affects all the boards throughout the state.
 At the present time there is notb- ing to prohibit assessors from deai- ing in insurance or real estate "on the side" So far as Waterbury if concerned any activities of It's as- sessors along these two lines have not interfercd with their regular work for the municipality.
 On the other hand tt Is argued that if the board of assessors k to be kept up to standard its membert should be active in the real estate field so that they will Dc in posi-. ton to readily known values.
 Members of boards of assessors throughout the entire state will Dc present at the hearing 10 oppose the measure.
