Personal Study
By Ida M. Tarbell
Of a Great
John
D.
Public Character
Rockefeller
r During the five years that Miss Tarbell has
studied the history of the Standard Oil Company,
her work has necessarily been a study of John
D. Rockefeller.
In this article she sets down her personal esti
mate of Mr. Rockefeller's character. It is a
singularly interesting and Illuminating study of
the man, his methods and career and their effect
upon his character and conscience. To under
stand the moral and business principles, as well
as the almost resistless power of the Standard
Oil Company and its allied and supporting in
stitutions, including banks, trust companies, life
insurance companies and railroads, it is neces
sary to know the man who is its soul, its founder
and its human prototype
The anicle contains a great collection of por
traits, including pictures of Mr. Rockefeller, his
father, his mother and brothers.
ROOSEVELT MEN PREVAIL
Effort of Coal Dealers toDisoonrage BaU
Legislation it Defeated.
MAJORITY SIT DOWN HARD ON M0TK)N
Resolutions Opposing- National l.ela
latloa Defeated Knforcement of
Existing lini Favored
W hen It Cornea to Vote.
Interest rose to a high pitch and dis
cussion waxed warm at Friday morning's
session of the Coal Dealers' association of
Nebraska and Iowa when an attempt was
made to persuade the dealers of tha two
states to pass resolutions opposing national
railway rata legislation.
The resolutions were offered by J. H.
Rogers, sales agent for the Sheridan Coal
company. They embodied the sentiment
that the national regulation of railway
freight traffic would result In danger to
the coal trade, a crippling of general In
dustry and a localisation of manufacturing
Interests. The enforcement of existing
laws was favored, but any legislation tak
ing from the railroads the power of Initia
tive was vigorously opposed. The adjust
ment of rates may be better undertaken
with the proper local officials of the indi
vidual roads, said the resolutions.
The situation waa rendered more Interest
ing by the presence of a small group of
men who were said to be representatives of
the railroads.
Mr. Rogers said that a body of politicians
at Washington would know about as much
concerning traffic needs In Nebraska as he
knew concerning Alaska. He spent much
time In trying to convince his hearers that
rates would be higher under government
regulation. F. P. Loomls and Randall
lirown of Omaha and George Gregory of
Marshalltown, la., opposed the resolution.
In the vote which was taken two men
were with Mr. Rogers, but when the nays
were called for there was an overwhelming
chorus.

BRECKNER CASE WITH JURY
Case Submitted late In Afternoon
and at Bedtime Jury (Hill
Deliberating.
The case of George Breckner, the lti-year-old
boy charged with manslaughter for tha
shooting of Arthur Kuhn at South Omaha
last November, was given to the Jury at
4 30 In tho afternoon and the twelve men
are still deliberating over a verdict.
Young Breckner and a brother were out
hunting with a shotgun and met some
other boys In a cave below the South
Omaha city limits. Some sort of an alter
cation had taken place before the arrival
of the Breckner boys and after a few
minutes talk about the auarrel George
Breckner made a motion to throw the gun
to his shoulder. The littlo Kuhn boy,
younger than Breckner, said not to shoot,
and as he spoke the gun was discharged.
The Breckner boy claimed he had no In
tention of shooting, that the trigger caught
on his coat sleeve and the load was dis
charged. The victim of the shooting lived
until next day.
Former County Attorney English do-
fended young Breckner, while the case for
the state was presented by County Attor
ney Slabaugh and Assistant Fitch. Two
days were consumed In getting a Jury and
In hearing the evidence. The parents of
both boys were In court and Mr. Kuhn,
the father of the dead boy, took an active
interest In the prosecution.
Mr. F.ngllsh made a hard fight to save
his little client. His speech to the jury
was a strong plea for mercy and a saving
of the future life of the living boy, since
the dead lad or his parents could not be
In any way benefited by condemning
Breckner to a felon's cell. The county at
torney and his asslsttmnt demanded a vin
dication of the law and a lesson to other
careless gun carriers on the sacredness of
hu:v.an life.
Young Breckner has been out on ball
since the killing.

JACK CRAWFORD, POET SCOUT
Famuni Black 11 1 11 Correapondent of
The Bee Now a Successful
Lecturer.
Captain Jack Crawford, the poet scout,
was In Omaha for a few hours yesterday
afternoon, and spent a portion of his time
here calling on Edward and Andrew Rose
water and talking over the days of thirty
years ago, when tho captain was Tho
Bee's correspondent In the Black Hills and
with the Crook expedition against the
Sioux Indiana. Those were lively days for
tile captain, for he was kept busy between
Indians and his newspaper work in the
Black Hills. He was Crook's chief of
scouts In the campaign, but before that
he had given the white men who were
pressing into the Black Hills the benefit
of his services by forming a band of scouts
who aided many a man beset by Indians.
He laid out the town of Custer and se
cured the name of the gallant general for
the embryo metropolis and did other things
that keep his memory green In that sea
tlon of the world, and all the while he was
keeping the world posted on the doings in
the new Eldorado through his. letters to
The Bee.
Captain Crawford beat his hunting knife
Into a fountain pen and laid aside his six-
shooter long ago, and has since estab
lished his name high in the list of Amer
ican writers and lecturers. Just now he
is devoting himself exclusively to the plat
form, and begins today at York, with his
first lecture to the Chautauqua there. From
York he goes to Wisconsin, and from Wis
consin to Minnesota, and from Minnesota
back to Wisconsin, and for the next three
months he will be busy as a beaver, hav
ing already booked forty-five lectures to be
delivered to as many Chautauqua.
He Is looking younger and better this
time than he has for years, and no one
looking at his long tawny mane, his bright,
clear eye and full, bronaed cheek, would
think that he was in the prime of hla man
hood thirty yeara ago, or that he had en
dured the hardahlpa and privations inci
dent to the life of a scout and ranger in
those most stirring of days.

Gentlemen of the board, I appreciate the
difficulty of your position. If I were doing
this work myself I probably should not do
it as satisfactorily as you are. I appear
here with nothing to say except this: Mr.
Reed appears to have distributed his favors
with an Impartial hand and I should have
felt offended indeed If we had been over
looked. We do not desire to bo conspicuous
in any way, and let me say that if any of
the others are cut down we desire to go
down with them. If all are kept up where
they- now are we also are willing and anx
ious to be kept up."
The speaker was Mr. Wright of the
Wright-Wllhclmy company. He was smil
ing In a way to win the heart of even a tax
equalizer. Before he was half through his
little talk the members of the County
Board of Equalization were catching their
breath. Assessor Reed placed one hand on
his heart and with the other reached for a
large chair.
"Don't, Mr. Wright," he gasped. "You
should not do such a thing without warn
ing. It Is unheard of and has unnerved me.
Wait a moment until I get control of myself."
Attracts General Attention.
Mr. Wright paused with an anxious look
at the assessor. Even Chairman McDonald
and the county commissioners had dropped
whatever they held In their hands and were
staring with open-mouthed astonishment at
this genial and atrango visitor. They had
heard of Millionaire Thomas Fltzslmmons
of Cleveland, who had become famous by
going into court to have his taxes raised
but no man in Omaha had ever thus wooed
them In time past. Then many hands wfM
reached out to Mr. Wright and the board
members beamed with him as his snillo
came back.
A moment before a representative of an
other company had backed away from the
table after giving them a piece of his
mind that had made them rather sore at
tho work In hand. Now they went back
to It with lighter hearts and a renewed
faith In commercial princes, or one at least.
Mr. Wright's unlooked for angel vlelt
was the only thing that broke the monot
ony at the board meeting Friday morning.
Small matter were being disposed of. ex
cept In the case of the J. L. Brandels &
Sons assessment. After a hearing by Hugo
Brandels the firm's assessment was laid
aside to be settled when all the other large
concerns are taken up, today probably,
which is thu last day for hearings.
Some Assessments.
At the afternoon session the Lee-Glass-Andreesen
asseasment was cut from ll!15,-

pany raised from $80,000 to $70,000 and com
plaint against the raise dismissed; Western
Newspaper union raised to $25,000 from $21,

STICKNEY'S PREFERRED STOCK
Circular Letter Telia of Disposition
of Fourteen Million Dollari
of .ew Issue.
The promised circular of the Chicago
Great Western giving the proposed disposi
tion of tho $14,(00,0u0 of preferred stock to
be authorized by the directors next Sep
lumber has been issued.
The new stuck will be transferred to the
Mason City & Fort Dodge railroad, con
trolled and operated by the Great Western,
In return for an equal amount of noncumu
latlve preferred stock to be lBsued by the
Fort Dodge company.
The Mason City & Fort Dodge railroad
was acquired In 1902 by the Great Weatern
under a contract for 100 years from April
1. 1901. The mileage of the Fort Dodge
company Is from Oelweln to Council Bluffs,
200 miles; from Clarion, la., to Hayfield,
Minn., 100 miles, and branches, eighteen
miles; total, 378 miles.
This Is the second Issue of Great Western
securities on account of the Fort Dodge
road, an increase of $20,010,000 In the Groat
Western common stork having been autho
rized In February, 1903, for the acquisition
of the lines already leased. Of this $20,000..
Ooo, however, only $12,700,000 has so far been
issued.
The Great Western thus disposes of ita
own additional stock without obtaining ad
ditional properties directly, but It secures
$14,000,000 of preferred stock that Is prac
tically a Great Western issue, and that
may be sold fur the extension or better
ment of the Great Western system.
An Interesting question still remains, ac
cordingly, as to what use will be made of
the proceeds to be derived ultimately from
the proposed Increase of the Chicago Great
Western "shares."
