OIL KING’S DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT AMAZES HIS fELLOW PASSENGERS Claps His Hands With Delight When Vessel Outstrips Another. By WILLIAM H08TER, Stiff Correspondent on Board the Steamer Deutschland. By Wireless Telegraph. On Board Steamship Deutachland, at Be a, June 2, via Babylon, L. I., June 2. —John D. Rockefeller arose early to day, and. after a bath, rub down and a cup of coffee, hastened to the de serted promenade deck. With power ful (Isaacs, he scanned the horlson. "Are we still leading the Provence?" he asked, entering democratically Into a conversation with a seaman. The assurance that the French liner re mained far astern pleased him mighti ly. The race has been a matter of unconcealed Interest to him. Mr. Rockefeller Insisted upon being taken to the engine room. He, how ever, waved aside a courteous assis tant engineer, who started to describe the working of the machinery. "This Is not my first sea trip,!’ he said. "I was told all these things be- fore." He Amsies Passengers. Mr. Rockefeller, accompanied at dif ferent times by various members of his party, and always by his secretary, spent a busy first day at sea, sight seeing aboard the giant steamship. His amaxement and delight were al most childlike. He was like a school hoy on the first day of a long-await ed vacation. Passengers were amazed by his ge niality. They did not expect that a man who hod amassed a billion dol lars by the hardest and sharpest of business practice would prove, on ac quaintance, so unaffected and Ingen uous. He sat up late Thursday night, disregarding the protests of Mrs. Rockefeller and Mbs Spellman, her sister. Dr. Blggar added hb disap proval abo, when Mr. Rockefeller de clared his Intention to alt up on deck and watch the race. After some dis cussion. a compromise was reached, Mr. Rockefeller consenting to envelop himself In an overcoat. Claps Hands in Delight. When the Deutschland had over taken LaProvence, he clapped hb hands and laughed aloud. Then he retired. He probably was the earliest passenger on deck Friday morning. Dawn scarcely had broken when he arose. Mr. Rockefeller was Informed that Mbs Helen Gould, of New York, was a passenger on the Deutachland. The fact seemed to Interest him, particu larly when he learned that Mbs Oould had booked her passage under an as sumed name. It Is the consensus of opinion that she la en rouja to Paris to bring back to America her stater, Anna, the Countess DeCaatellane. Mbs Oould la uncommunicative to the few persons with whom she has con versed, and can not be approached for purposes of an Interview. He Pralsts Chute. Some good-natured discussion arose at dinner bat evening, when Mr. Rockefeller ordered cheese. In re sponse to a fellow-passenger’s ques tion, he reiterated hb frequently ex pressed views ss to the health-giving qualities of this, hb favorite article of diet. He Is as loyal to cheese on sea as on land. It was evident this morning, when Mr. Rockefeller made hb customary early appearance on deck, that the voyage la proving beneficial to him. There Is a healthy color In his cheeks, and a sparkle In hb eyes, telling more eloquently than words that he la not a sick man. and b enjoying every minute of the trip. Muts Pupils Pass Through.
