Special Train to Take Re- mains to New York
 Home for Last Rites

ORMOND BEACH. Florida. May 24.-John D. Rockefeller, Senior, aged 97, died peacefully in his sleep at his winter home here at 4:O5 o'clock Sunday morning as the re- suit of hardening heart muscles. No member of the family was present at the time. 1 He had passed the winter months here and was better than usual. His condition was not alarming funtil Saturday midnight when l1e lapsed into coma. A special train was immediately dispatched from New York City to take the body there.
 Rockefeller. founder of the worlds greatest dollar dynasty" is at last stilled in death just 26 months short of his cherished desire to live to oe 100. He would have been 98 on July 8.
 Rockefeller drifted peacefully off to final sleep after complaining ne felt very tired. The family spokesman said he left a relatively small and very liquid estate" He had turned the bulk of his money to his son and philanthropic endowments to the far ends of the earth.
 Funeral Arrangements
 The special train will take thd remains to Pocantico Hills, New York. home where a simple funeral service will be held on Wednesday and burial will be Thursday in Cleveland where in 1855 he trudged the streets for six weeks before he landed his first job as a book keepers assistant.
 As far as known, Rockefeller,s last words came when he aroused to say to his valet to raise. him a little higher and said:
 There, that is better"
 Career-Perfect Arc
 John Davison Rockefeller spent the first half of his life making money and the last half giving 1t away.
 T believe 1t is duty" he said many times, flor man to get all the money he honestly can and to give away all he can."
 His career described an almost perfect arc.
 At the age of 16 he began, with nothing. He was paid $50 for his first three months work, as assist ant bookkeeper in a produce com mission warehouse on the lake front in Cleveland, O.
 By the time he had reached middle age he had amassed what many persons believed to be the largest fortune ever controlled by private individual in the history of the world.
 At the age of 57 he began to withdraw from active business life and started giving money away. In 35 years he gave away consid- erably more than half a billion dollars, and one of his associates remarked that the world would be surprised at the compara lively small estate he would leave when he died.
 Size of Fortune The size of MT. Rockefeller's for tune has been a subject for public conjecture for many years. It has never been revealed. While some estimated it as high as $2.4O0,00O,- 900, persons close to MT. Rocke- feller place it at a much lower figure. His son, John D. Rocke- feiler. Jr, once said that it had never reached a billion. For many

Released There

tague became Hollywood's most
mysterious figure and it's best

night.
Members of the police robbery

on a charge of robbery from New
York state, had a spotless record
since coming to the screen capital
three years ago as John Monta-
que, strapping, congenial anna
teur golfer who hobnobbed with
motion picture folk and became
their friend.
Officers said it would be UNI
necessary for him to appear at a
police showup Tuesday night. He
had volunteered to appear so that
victims of recent jewel robberies
could view him. Detectives said
their investigation convinced them
that he had "clean record since
his arrival, so his appearance
would not be requested.
Montague was taken into Gus
tody last Friday on a warrant
from Essex county, N. Y, accus-
ing him of completely in a road
house robbery seven years ago.
He admitted his real name was
Laverne Moore, as contained in
the warrant, but refused to dis
cuss the robbery.
He was arraigned Saturday and
released under $4,000 bail.
His counsel, Jerry Giesler, not
ed criminal attorney, announced
that a spirited fight would be made
against extradition. Ceisler asked
Gov. Frank F. Merriam for hear
ing and this was set for July 26,
by which time extradition papers
are expected to be received from
New York.
Deputy District Attorney How
ard Hinshaw opposed a $4,000
bail. demanding $4,000 but he
was overruled by Municipal Judge
Arthur Guerin before whom Mon
tague was arraigned as an alleged
fugitive.
Montague gave as his refer
ences Oliver Hardy, screen comic
and one of his closest friends. The
two lived together at one time.
