Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 26.—Frank Rockefeller, the youngest of the three brothers, who was recently brought into prominence by William's effort to bring about a reconciliation between him and John D., is an interesting figure. Although poor when compared to the other two Rockefellers, Frank is not by any means an object of charity. He abhors above all else to be spoken of as John D. Rockefeller's brother." William's effort to end the feud which has existed since 1898 failed and John D. and Frank are still as far apart as ever. It is estimated that John D. Rockefeller's wealth is $1,000,000,000. The sum involved which, it is alleged, led to the feud with his brother, was but $150,000. The three brothers were in Cleveland simultaneously for the first time in many years, and William Rockefeller thought it was a most excellent opportunity to bring the family feud to a termination. He did his part, but the result was complete failure. Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller drove in an automobile to the home of Frank Rockefeller at Wickliffe. He was absent from home, but William Rockefeller talked with Mrs. Frank Rockefeller and was assured there was not a chance of bringing about a reconciliation. Later Frank Rockefeller publicly confirmed the declaration of his wife and said: "There never will be a reconciliation between John D. and myself. We had a row over business in 1898, and I said I was 'through.' I meant then and I mean it now." Frank Rockefeller is 70 years old, William Rockefeller is 72 and John D. Rockefeller is 77. Although not nearly so well known as his brothers, the first named was for many years associated with them in the oil business. He was one of the partners when the Standard Oil company was organized for a time was one of the vice presidents. He acquired considerable wealth, but after the quarrel he turned his attention to stock raising, purchasing 12,000 acres at Belvidere, Kas., for a stock farm. Attired like a farm hand, he was the real "boss" of the ranch and always did his part when there were ditches to be dug or fences to be built. He always strove to avoid notoriety and his boast was, "Next to my family, I love animals more than anything else in the world, and by simply having fun with them I have found out a great many things and learned a good many lessons I never could have learned otherwise." He makes his home in Cleveland five months of the year, as does John D. Rockefeller. The beginning of the quarrel between the Rockefeller brothers is said to date back to 1892, when Frank Rockefeller and Captain James Corrigan wished to develop the property of the Franklin Iron Mining company, in the Mesaba range. John D. Rockefeller, it is alleged, offered to advance the money, and they borrowed $140,000 from him, giving their notes for $150,000. As security, Messrs. Corrigan and Rockefeller asserted that they gave to John D. Rockefeller the stock of the company. The property was developed and the partners were offered $1,800,000 for it but refused to sell, believing it to be worth more. Things, it is said, were running smoothly when John D. Rockefeller went to his brother and asked him to have Mr. Corrigan indorse the notes as a matter of form. Mr. Corrigan already was indebted to John D. Rockefeller for a large amount, for which the latter held collateral. When Mr. Corrigan tendered payment for his share of the loan and demanded his stock, it is alleged that John D. Rockefeller told him the stock would be held as security for the indorsement of Frank Robinson's notes VOL. 3. Frank Rockefeller and Mr. Corrigan then made efforts to obtain money elsewhere to pay off John D. Rockefeller, and they asserted that they made arrangements with the Iron Range company to obtain the money, but that John D. Rockefeller heard of it and at the last moment the Iron Range company backed out. It is said that the officials of the company informed Frank Rockefeller that his brother had forbidden them to make the loan, and they knew his power too well to risk ruin by acting contrary to his orders. Finally Frank Rockefeller and Mr. Corrigan was compelled to sell the Franklin Iron Mining company for $500,000 to prevent letting go of it for the $140,000 debt. In 1900 the Euclid Avenue Baptist church, the "Rockefeller church," was almost broken up by the decree of John D. Rockefeller that the Rev. Dr. Applegarth must vacate the pulpit. Frank Rockefeller announced he would resign from the congregation if this action were taken. The trustees sided with John D. Rockefeller and Frank Rockefeller thereupon severed his connection with the church. HIGH WIND_PLAYED PRANKS. Damage to Store Fronts, Signs and Buildings. The severe wind storm which struck this city Tuesday night preceding the deluge of rain, played havoc with things in general. Along Minnesota avenue the most serious damage was done to signs, windows, telephone poles and all things movable. No loss of life or serious injury by the storm has yet been reported, although there were some narrow escapes. The side of a house was blown in, the wreckage covering the bed in which Mr. and Mrs D. F. Moore were sleeping in their home, 1912 State avenue. Both were bruised slightly. The front of the Feld grocery store was wrecked, and several hundred dollars worth of groceries were scattered about. A large sign smashed through a window at Tom Newton's shoe store and did some damage by exposing the stock to dust and flying debris. A 50-foot electric sign on the Commercial National bank building was blown into the street. A crowd below waiting for street cars heard the crash and ran to safety. A sign on the Goebel Furniture company also was torn from its supports. OHIO ONION MARSHES BURN. Dense Smoke Covers Swampy Area and Menaces Men Who Seek to Control Fire. (International News Service.) Columbus, O., Sept. 26.—Two square miles of the Ohio onion marches, said to be the largest in the world, are a glowing ember of burning peat, while the entire population of McGuffy and the countryside is working under military organization of Lieut. Col. Hugh Runkle, sent today by the adjutant general, to confine the fire within the burned section. The green crop was gathered in advance of the flames by organized brigades of cartmen. The fire fighters are working in dense smoke and relief stations have been established at the edge of the marshes to recuperate the men as they become affected. Water is unobtainable and the efforts of the growers are confined to trench digging. The loss will be large. NIGHT SCHOOL TO OPEN OCT. 9. NIGHT SCHOOL TO OPEN OCT. 9. Summer night school will open Monday, October 9th. Prof. J. P. King, one of the best night school supervisors in the state, will be at its head again this year. There have been hundreds, both old and young, greatly helped since the founding of the night school in our city and hundreds on others can be wonderfully benefited if they will accept and avail themselves of this fine opportunity. Take hold of it, father, mother and those who cannot attend the day school, as the old adage goes, "One is never too old or to young to do good." And that old saying holds good today and it means you. If one grasp hold of a live wire, they can't free themselves from it, so will it be if you grasp hold of this night school, only it will go further. You will not want to be freed from it, so long as its doors are open to you. Don't let them close on you; get ready to enter the opening night and with that purpose of will power in getting all out of it that is there for you. And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, SEPTEMBt R 29, 1916. SERVICES LARGELY ATTENDEL DR. RANSOM OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH PREACHED HIS FARE-WELL SERMON SUNDAY EVENING—ANNUAL REPORT SHOWED OVER $7,000. The services at First A. M. E. church Sunday were largely attended during all day and especially the evening service. The pastor, Dr. Ransom, was spiritually strong and two stronger and most uplifting sermons have not been heard in this church for a long time, than was listened to Sunday. The church was set on fire, through the message of this great pulpit orator. While it is customary for the pastors to preach their farewell sermon at the close of the year's work, the First A. M. E. church realize it was only a form in the case of its pastor, as every member and friend feels assured of his return for the fifth year, which is the limit for ministers of this denomination. Dr. Ransom is a hard working, Christian minister and his success from an African Methodist standpoint ranks with that class of ministers who hold pastorates of the largest in the connection. This eminent churchman has been and is still being sought after with flattering inducements to come to other cities but the doctor has spent thirty years in the Sunflower state in his profession and says that he wants to stay with the people who helped make him what he is today. Monday night at the church the pastor made his annual report of all departments which showed the largest in the history of the church, being between seven and eight thousand dollars collected for all purposes for the year. The vote which was taken on Monday night for the return of the pastor to First A. M. E. church and the return of Presiding Elder J. T. Smith to this district was unanimous.

The street parade on last Friday at Leavenworth by the U. B. Fs. and S. M. Ts. was one grand sight. When the Kansas City delegation rolled in with her big crowd in two specials, with the famous Quindaro band, hundreds were awaiting their arrival. They marched to the hall where they refreshed themselves for a time, after which the big parade took place, marching through the principal business district. Companies of ladies and men with their natty uniforms with banners and colors flying, led with bands of music and autos filled with officers and members following was a grand sight to be hold. After the parade all repaired to Dickson park where dinner was served and a general good time was had. The one great feature of the afternoon was the drill, which was easily won by Mrs.yles' team of Kansas City, Kansas. This company of ladies dressed in white uniforms looked beautiful and they drilled equally as well as they looked. —AS SEEN BY A VISITOR.

Saturday night brought the third tragedy that has occurred in our community in the past six weeks. This time a child kills a parent. A girl of 15 years, Agnes Edmondson stabbed her father, I. M. Edmondson to the heart on the street where he fell a corpse. The Edmondson lived at 447 Freeman avenue. It seems the husband and wife had not been getting along so well. Edmondson had been away from home for some weeks. He came home Saturday night at a late hour and, finding his wife alone set upon her and gave her a beating and then left the house. Shortly afterwards the two daughters, Grace and Agnes, 17 and 15 years old, came home and was told what had occurred. They went out in search of their father and soon found him on Walker-avenue about two blocks from the house where it is said he was talking with a woman on the sidewalk. When Agnes, the younger, questioned her father he knocked her down in the gutter. The girl struggled to her feet again when he struck her a second time. It was then she made the fatal stab that took the life of a parent, her father. The blade sunk into his left breast, passing between two ribs and penetrating the heart with a deep gash, the body falling lifeless to the sidewalk. At police headquarters, Grace, the eldest of the daughters, told the story of the killing, while Agnes went to the sheriff's residence and surrendered herself a prisoner, the first child in Wyandotte county in a good many years to be accused of killing a father. Agnes Monday made a statement before County Attorney James Meek admitting she stabbed her father in a scuffle after he had knocked her down. In the struggles, the child told officials Edmondson's pocketknife fell to the street. She picked it up, she said and struck him with it. The statement made by the girl's sister, Grace, corroborated the story. The body of Edmondson was taken to Thatcher's Undertaking parlors and the remains were shipped to his old home in Kentucky. CHARLES STEWART PASSES. THROUGH. The Hon.

Reading God's Word, which is working for Christ is the greatest work although many so-called Christians, also many sinners, don't think so. Those who attend the Neighborhood Bible class are doing this great work. It is for people of all churches. This class is happier than any class or club which meets. The meeting at Mrs. Russell's was large and beneficial. The next meeting is Monday, October 2 at Mrs. H. D. Scott's, 2501 North Seventh street at 7 p. m. Lesson, "Paul at Antioch," Acts, 13th Ch.

The Strike of Firemen In Interburough Power Houses Is Almed as a Knockout Blow—Another Outbreak of Violence in New York. New York, Sept. 27.—One hundred and seventy-six thousand, two hundred and forty union workers answered the call today for a general strike in sympathy with the striking traction employees, according to labor leaders. Of this number 121,000 are affiliated with the United Hebrew trades. Today is a Jewish holiday, also. The members of local No. 56, of the Eccentric Firemen's unions, voted for a strike, but they will not quit work until tomorrow. Labor leaders had hoped for a complete industrial tie-up affecting 800,000 workmen, beginning today, but their plans were hindered by the opposition of conservatives. The strike of the firemen at the Interborough powerhouses is aimed as a knockout blow. They are employed in the powerhouses and substations, from which traffic of the subway and "L" lines is kept moving. With these employees on strike, it was believed by the union men that the underground and overhead trains would soon have to stop for want of power. Twenty thousand teamsters also will go on strike tomorrow morning, according to a vote adopted by the teamsters' council. John Sullivan, representing the 11, 900 brewers employed in Greater New York, reported to the conference committee at the Continental hotel that the unions have voted to join the general suspension of work at once. "No materials will be allowed to apoil," declared Hugh Frayne, in speaking of the action of the brewers. "The men will finish their work with all, perishable products before quitting work." Twenty-eight thousand longshoremen are to go out tomorrow. Labor leaders declared they were not discouraged and Ernest Bohm, secretary of the Central Federated Union, predicted that 100,000 strikers will be added to the list each morning for the next three days. There was another outbreak of violence on the part of the roof lurkers, three elevated trains being stoned. However, no one was injured. There was a spread of the milk wagon drivers' strike today and thousands of householders had to call in person for their breakfast supply. Surface and elevated trains were bombarded. At some points the police had to draw their revolvers to restore order. Many arrests were made. The unions voting today included the New York building trades with about 115,000 members; the teamsters, 20,000; the machinists, 45,000 and others. Already 175,000 are out, mostly garment workers. A general strike, it was declared, could not assume alarming proportions without the building trades, and strong pressue was exerted on the leaders in that branch of work. Strike leaders asserted that nearly 200,000 men, representing 127 unions, had laid down their tools during the last 24 hours and predicted that by tonight 263,000 men and women would have quit work. TOOK SOLDIER FOR BURGLAR. Lewis Owen of the Third Regiment Was Shot Last Night. Lewis C. Owen, 26 years old, a private in Company I, Third Regiment of Missouri, is at the General Hospital, Missouri side, with a bullet wound in his right shoulder as a result of an attempt to find a rooming house where he had lived before going to the border. Owen told the hospital authorities his home was at Owensburg, Ky. He had lived on East Sixteenth street when the troops were called out. He left with the Third Returning, he forgot the house number where he had lived. When the Third disbanded he set out to find his rooming house and wandered in Sixteenth street several hours before he saw a house which resembled his home, 316 East Sixteenth street. He knocked on the front door, receiving no response. He went to the rear door and started on to the porch. The occupants of the house opened fire on him with a revolver, mistaking him for a burglar. Fewer Hogs Than for Years. The number of hogs in Kansas March 1 was 1,573,945, according to assessors' returns.

OLDEST KANSAS “PRINT” DIES. Edward P, Harrla Set the Type That Told of the Admission of Kansas Statehood, (International News Service.) Topeka, Sept. 25—Edward P. Har ris, 82 years old, veteran Kansas printer, died here this morning fct- jJowing an illness of two weeks. He is survived by a son Dwight T, Har nis, and a daughter, Mre. Fred J, Hill, both of Topeka. Edward P. Harris was the oldest printer in Kansas and had the dis- tinction of having known and peson- ally met every governor of Kansas— territorial and state. Mr. Harris came to Kansas in 1856 and since that time set into type many of the stories which chronicled the advancement ct Kansas from a frontier territory into the great commonwealth it is today. Mr. Harris was one of a company which started from Worcester, Mass., for Kansas in June, 1856. As the pro- slavery agitation was very high at that time, the party had great diffi- culty in entering the state. Shortly after his arrival the Herald of Free- dom, a free state paper published at Lawrénce, was revived. This paper had deen destroyed in the May pre- ceding by a party of “border ruffi- ans.” Mr. Harris assisted in the re. establishment of this paper and since that time was employed by many pa- pers within the state. ‘When the eall for a convention to form the Republican party was issued in 1859, Mr. Harris ran off the pink half sheet dodger that called the con- ‘vention. The meeting was at Osa watomie May 19, 1859. Nearly two yers iater—January 29, 186l—when the news was flasbed across the few telezraph wires west of the Mississippi river that Kansas ‘had been admitted to the Union, Mr. Harris set the type containing the an- nouncement and then worked the pa: {per off on an old style hand press The paper was the Lawrence Tribune, of which T. Dwight Thacher was manager. In 1873 Mr. Harris became foreman Jot tho state printing office, a position ihe held until 1891, He was with Crane & Company dur- ing the latter years of his life and his remarkable memory of Kansas events made him a most valuable man in the business.
