JOHN D. MTU
5908,000,0001
His Holdings Have Been In
creased $100,000,000 by
Supreme Court Decision.
NEW YORK. June 3 -Lawyers in- I
rprestrd in the litigation in which I
John D. Rockefeller ’is now involved
have figured that he today’ i« worth j
$900,000,000
This estimate is believed to he with
in a few millions of being correct. In
the oil trust suit John IL was called as
a witness to tell «>f the present re
lations between Standard Oil and Its
former subsidiary companies. Th? in
quiry regarding Tr* wealth was made
in connection with the litigation.
Since the “dissolution" of the Stand
ard Oil trust under the judgment of
the United States supreme court, the
wealth of Mt. Rockefeller has grown
by leaps and bounds. It is reckoned
he is now worth fully $ 100,000.0<T0 more
than before the supreme court judg
ment took effect.
Krom his holdings of Standard Oil
stock Mr Rockefeller derives an in
come of $40,000,000 a year. His in
come from other sources varies, run
ning as high as $25,000,000 and as low
as $15,000,000; so that his yearly’ in
come varies between $55,000 and $65,-
000,000.
In 1865 John P Rockefeller achieved
his first $5,000. Ten years later he
ufle worth $5,000,000, and in 1890 he
was reputed to be worth about SIOO.-
000,000.
Mr. Rockefeller has never ventured
to say what he was worth. Several
years ago he placed the figures at
’somewhere between $300,000,000 and
$400,000,000.” hut hr confessed on the
stand h? could not tell “within $lO.-
nno.ooo or more” just what he was
Morth if he really sat down t<» figure
it up
He has given $174,500,000 to various
charitable, educational and scientific
institutions.

The dainty little actress will be seen
in a playlet written by herself It is
called "The Return of Tori San" and It
fits the charming qualities of the star
to perfection.
An Atlanta boy who has been more
than successful in the theatrical pro
fession. Shep (’amp. will be another of
the features. Camp left Atlanta in ptu
slcal comedy and met with success, but
his real hit was registered as the star
of "The Traveling Salesman." the part
lie will play again when the regular
season commences
Bob Matthews and Aishyane, In a
comedy Idea founded on the dope fiend
of Chinatown, will be a feature that

Matthews has given the character a
study that has found the humor of the
being and It may be detrended upon that

the American Juggler, and other fea
tures make up the bill, and there has
never been more Interest In any For

Thirty-nine Atlantic City Coun
cilmen Trapped as Grafters
by William J. Burns.
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. June 3
Thirty-nine city officials have been I
caught hard and fast by dictagraphs I
placed in city hall by Detective Wil- j
Ham J. Burns in the graft hunt which i
,hatt given this city the greatest poiiti- I
cal sensation in its history.
At least 60 officials in all ar" in
volved in the scandal. Fourteen dicta - I
graphs were placed in the municipal'
building to register incriminating re
marks of alleged bribetakers, and these,
it Is said, have produced records that
"show the goods" on men who hitherto
had escaped the taint of suspicion.
Governor Woodrow Wilson is slated
to compare the facts with the attorney
general and contribute to'the pot"
used to defray the expenses of the
probe. The governor, it is said, will
then take up Hie subject of the appoint
ment of another elizor grand jury.
Councilman Harry F. Dougherty is
the only member of the gecused men
who openly defied the reform fbrees.
The program will be to flash the evi
dence on each of the 60 or tnoie offi
cials Involved, demand their confession,
and if it is not forthcoming, start pros
ecution.
Dougherty's continued avowal of his I
innocence has brought well known men ’
to his assistance, and they will tight I
his cage to the final ditch, according to I
Dougherty.
Further startling ilevelopmen.s are :
expected tonight when the various fae.
tlons will wage fight for control at the
special meeting of council and when
men who have been implicated are ex
