ROCKEFELLER IN A WIG
In This Dlspmiso He Was Talcen For
a Stranger at His Cliurcli
John D Rockefe ller looks so different
in the wig he now wears tliat when he
appeared on a recent Sunday morning
at the Euclid Avenue Baptist church
in Cleveland where he usually wor
ships in that city the ushers did not
recognize him at first It is said that
one of them thinking him a stranger
gave him a cordial invitation to come
again and learned too late for apology
that the supposed stranger was the
pastors richest parishioner and thu
richest man in the world
The Standard Oil company the child
of Mr Rockefellers brain Is just now
especially in the public eye and its

orous probing A federal investigation
of this giant corporation ha been plan
ned and in the west a close examina
tion of its methods and operations is
to be made Mr Rockefeller will be
summoned to the stand to testify In
this connection as to many matters
which have already been discussed in
consequence of the attacks made upon
the system by Thomas W Lawson
Ida M Tarbell and others noted for
their assaults upon this titanic crea
tion of industry and finance
Twenty one Standard Oil millionaires
have been summoned to testify in the
suit which the state of Missouri has
brought against that institution and
Mr Rockefeller is among this number
There will be hearings in New York
and it is intimated that the testimony
elicited will arouse as much intfvest
as that brought out in the course of
the now famous insurance investiga
tion
In the distribution of his gift tlio
American billionaire as the Standard

shown special favors to the cltv of
Cleveland An enterprise in which ho
has recently taken an inteivst is a
home for newsboys which ii to cost
150000 and which he is backing sub
stantially It will be a home rather
than an institution and the boys who
sell papers in the Forest City and have
no homes of their own deserving of tho
name will find It a place better to live
in than the streets and less forbidding
in its rules of decorum than the aver
age asylum for homeless children Mr
Rockefeller has taken much interest in
the newsies of Cleveland and not
long ago entertained them at his home

When Mr Townsend was making his
first canvass for election to congress
he visited a household where the voter
was not in sight but where a buxom
woman and six children were very
much in evidence It has been said
that the man is the head of the family
but that the woman is the neck and

the woman turn the support his way
