forcibly removed.
AUeges He Sustained $5,000 Dam
ages Because Oas Was Cut
Off by Only Company.
| Airman James L. Key and the At-
ov Light Company figure in a
! gu j t (,>r 15,000 damages filed Wednes
day afternon by the alderman as at-
I torney for P. L. Ingraham, of No. 108
| Capitol avenue, against the gas com-
*Tis alleged that on March 1, 1906,
-the defendant company, through
fagentA. forcibly entered the premises
of the petitioner, and removed a slot
jaa meter; that the company is the
i only one In this city engaged In the
business of furnishing gas, and that
the company. In using a public fran
chise, must furnish gas to every one
1 without discrlmnatlon. It is further
alleged that the petitioner paid In ad-
I rtnre for 500 cubic feet of gas, and
| that before he had used It, the agents
I 0 f the company forcibly entered his
house and removed the meter, neces-
I iitating the use of oil and lamps at
a great inconvenience and expense.
The company's agent Is alleged to have
tendered the petitioner 50 cents as re-
tmburxment for the sunt deposited in
the meter, but the money was refused.
At the time of the alleged forcible
entrance two rooms In the house were
rented for (18 a month, but owing to
lack of gas, It Is Impossible to rent
these rooms.
The petitioner claims that his wife
objected to the agents of the company
entering his house,- but that they paid
no attention to her, nor would they
give her sufficient time to communi
cate with her husband.
It Is alleged as a cause for punitive
i damages that the agents of the defend-
l ant company were rough, uncouth,
l overbearing and disrespectful, and that
they gave offense to the petitioner's
family, and that they Intended, to
do so.
The connection of Alderman Key
with the case Is interesting, In view of
the fight he is making In council on
the alleged perpetual franchise, which
the company claims It possesses.

Cherbourg, France, June 7.—John D.
Rockefeller, after a six days* voyage,
left the steamship Deutschland at this
city and today started with his party
for Paris. They stayed during the
nlgl\t In apartments in the Casino
hotel.
The voyage of the richest man In the
world was a memorable one and re
vealed Rockefeller In a new light,
was one of the gayest men on board,
was gallant to ladles, displayed great
handshaking abilities, made jests,
talked volubly, played shufTleboard and
on one occasion gained the cheers of
the* passengers.
On leaving the ship he gave all his
tips in bulk—J75.
Tho following Is a chronology of tho
remarkable six days voyage of "the
richest man" across the Atlantic on the
Deutschland. What he said and what
he preached:
His Life Aboardship.
Thursday, aiay 31—Embarked
board ship and sailed at 10:30 a. m.
Took lunch with his party, except Mrs.
Rockefeller, In the dining room. Was
In high spirits nnd laughed and chat
ted almost continuously; ate heartily
and drank milk and mineral water, of
which he had taken a plentiful supply
on board.
After luncheon he was wrapped In a
shawl by his two men servants and sat
on deck for a while. In the afternoon
he played shufTleboard. It was the
first time he ever played and ho en
joyed it. In talking about the lato
President Harper, of Chicago, he said:
"Mr. Harper was tin* greatest man I
ever knew. I came closer to opening
my heart to him than any other man."
Friday—Arose at 7 a. m., not a bit
seasick. Was one of the first at
breakfast In the dining room. Ate
oatmeal, joked heartily with members
of his party. Went on deck and walk
ed probably 10 miles. Took a nap In
cabin. Played shufTleboard with Dr.
Blggar. In commenting on his own
health said:
"The doctor tells me I am in os good
condition as a prize fighter and I cer
tainly feel like one. I feel that I can
beat Mr. Carnegie at golf.*’
Greets Miss*Helen Gould.
At luncheon he enjoyed bouillon, fri-
cased chicked and asparagus. Shook
hands with Miss Helen Gould when
she entered the dining room and es
corted her to the table. Dined on fish
and roast chicken. Retired at 11 p. m.
Saturday—Breakfasted with Mrs.

the man attired himself In a whole
lifesaving outfit and sent him to show
himself to Mrs. Rockefeller. Beat two
experts at shufTleboard.
Game New to Him.
"This game Is new to me,” he said,
but l have kept In trim by building
miles of road on my country places.”
Had luncheon with his wife in his
cabin and ate bouillon, scrambled eggs,
ham, lamb stew and camemebert
cheese. Remained In his cabin after
luncheon and dined with his wife. Re
tired early. . , ' ,
Sunday—Ate a hearty breakfast in
the dining room. Joked and laughed
so heartily that he bent double and
his nose almost touched the table.
Took a walk to deck, chatted with _
Hungarian woman who told him that
she liked America. The woman’s lit
tie son. to show he was saving, handed
Mr. Rockefeller a penny and said:
"This is my luck penny. You can
have It"
Everybody laughed; so did
Rockefeller, who put tho penny In his
pocket and thanked the boy,
him his card.
Cheers For Oil King.
Spent half an hour In tho second cab
In. Made a few remarks to the pas
sengers In which he urged his hearers
to do all the good they can in the
world, adding:
"Kt’i mnmy Is tho watchword,
charitable and generous In your f.-e!
Ings for your neighbors. It will cos?
you nothing and you will reap a rich
reward.” •
” thought you were a different kind
of man.” Interrupted a passenger.
I kn<.w,’* said John I>. 'but I’m
glad to have your good opinions,
want to have them. They are worth

Cheers were given for Mr. Rocko

traveling man from Kansas City and
felt In his pockets with mock pathos,
as if he had lost all his money.
"Can I lend you some changer' said
his opponent.
"No, I thank you. Kansas City,” was
the grave reply. "I think I’ll be able
to get along.
Took luticneon with Mrs. Rockefeller.
Attended the ship’s concert in the
evening and gave a bill to the sailors'

The election of f)r. Jameson ns presi
dent of Mercer followed a discordant
meeting of the trustees of tho college,
which lasted three nights. There has
been trouble among tho faculty for
several months, reaching a climax re
cently when tho theology of Vice Pros
Ident Kilpatrick was vigorously avail
ed, and he was accused of denying the
virgin birth of Christ. He was heard
by the trustees at their protracted
meeting Wednesday night, but upon
vote It was decided to ask him to re
sign. President Charles Lee Smith
