Information as to what was to he

has been expressed at this action,
especially in view of the fact that this
Legislature has been looked to as a
body of reformers. The reason given
for :he adjournment is the fact that
itors | neither the President of the Senate nor
the Speaker of the House has been
able as yet to name the committees,
which are necessary to the transaction
of business. It is also claimed that
Saturday is not a working day, a quo
rum seldom being present the last day

Fertilizer Inspection Fee.
ATLAXTA, July 3.—Two bills whose
object is to increase the inspection
fee on fertilizers, made their appear
ance in the general assembly today.
One of these was introduced in the
senate by Senator L. G. Hardman, of
the Thirty-third and the other in the
house by Mr. Martin, of Elbert.
Both of these bills provide that here
after the inspection fee on all ferti
lizers shall be twenty-five cents per
ton instead of ten cents, as at pres
ent. The enactment of such a law
would more than double the recelnts
from fertilizer Inspection, and the
money derived from this source would
all go to the new district agricultural

the bill believe it will receive favor

head of the Standard Oil Company,
a summons issued by Judge Landis,
of the Federal court of Chicago. Mr.
Rockefeller was located In this city
today and personal service made on
him by Deputy United States Marshal
Charles L. Frink, of North Adams.
Mr. Rockefeller explained that he
had not been endeavoring to dodge
service but that he did not know ex
actly what was wanted of him.
Early In the day Deputy Marshals
Frink and James Ruhl, the latter of
the Boston office, visited Taconic
farm but E. Parmelee Prentice told
them that his father-in-law was not
there. The officers professed to be
satisfied with the statement and de
parted. Deputy Ruhl boarded the
train for Boston and Deputy Frink
went to his home in North Adams,
about twenty-five miles from this city.
Later Deputy Frink decided to pay
another visit the the farm and he re
turned to Pittsfield and drove out
there in the afternoon. He proceeded
through the wooded driveway into the
open space in front of the house and
recognized Mr. Rockefeller sitting on
the piazza. The deputy passed the I
summons to the oil magnate, explain
ing that Mr. Rockefeller's presence in j
the Federal court at Chicago on July j
6 was demanded.
Mr. Rockefeller accepted service |
with a smile, shook hands with the
deputy and expressed pleasure at
meeting him. He invited the officer
to sit on the piazza and rest, which
invitation was accepted.
Mr. Rockefeller chatted for a few
moments, saving that he had not in
tended to evade the officers, but that
he did not know exactly what was
desired of him. He referred to ftie
newspaper stories that have been
printed about him lately and ridiculed
the idea that he had been surrounded
by armed guards or that the Taconic
farm estate had been equipped with
a searchlight. As the officer was
leaving the house. Mr. Rockefeller
again shook hands with him. said he
was glad to have met him and added:
“If you are ever near my home. I
hope you will come and call on me.”
It Is thought that Mr. Rockefeller
was advised after the morning call
of the officers that he had better ac
cept service. It is generally believed
that Mr. Rockefeller has been at Ta
