Copper Magnate Stricken With j
Apoplexy at His Home
In New York. I
New York, May 20. Henry II. Rog
ers, vice president of the Standard Oil
company, moving spirit In the organi
zation of the Amalgamated Copper
company, builder of railroads and phi
lanthropist, who died very suddenly of
apoplexy at his New York residence, 3
East Seventy-third street, leaves ti for
tune of $75,000,000.
The bulk of his huge estate, It Is
said, will go to his son, Henry II.
Rogers, Jr., who entered Columbia
university In the elaRS of 1001 and Is
In his thirtieth year. He married Mary
Benjamin, and they have a country
homo In Tuxedo and u town bouse In
this city. Young Rogers is a member
of the Delta Kappa Epsllon fraternity
nnd club and is also n member of the
Racket and Tennis clubR as well as
the Seawanbaka-Corlnthlan Yacht club
nnd the New York Yacht club.
Ever since the panic he has had an
olliec in his father's suit of rooms in
the Standard Oil building and has been
at his father's elbow all the time. He
Is a director of nearly all of the com
panies with which his father was
prominently connected.
Conspicuous among those who called
at the Home to extend condolences to
the widow and children were Samuel
L. Clemens (Mark Twain), for many
years one of tlie most Intimate friends
of the lato ilnancler. Mr. Clemens left

his country place, near Redding, Conn ;
Intending to visit the Rogers home,
only to be confronted with the sad
news of ids old friend's death.
Mr. Clemens was too moved to fully
express his feelings. "It is terrible
terrible," ho said briefly. "I am inex
pressibly shocked."
Henry C. Phipps was one of the first
callers to arrive at the residence after
Mr. Rogers' death, and lie was fol
lowed shortly by John D. Ryan, prosi
dent of the Anaconda Copper com
pany. In the meantime telegrams were
pouring into the house, one of the first
to arrive being from John D. Rocke
feller nt Hot Springs, Va. Mr. Rocke
feller had repeatedly warned Mr. Rog
ers to cease his hard work in view of
his falling health, but he had not been
apprised of his present illness until ho
received the news of his death.
Henry H. Rogers was a money mak
er nnd one of the most successful men
of the so called Standard Oil group.
He began life as a poor boy at Fair
haven, Mass., whero ho was bora sixty-nine
years ago. He Is variously re
ported as having started life as a
newsboy and as a driver of a grocery
cart. He was an enthusiastic Yachts
man. Until recently he had hold the
reins of the Standard Oil company fol
lowing the retirement of John D. Rock
efeller, although J. B. Archbold attend
ed to the routine management of the
great corporation.
The widow he loaves Is bis second
wife, his first wife having died four
teen years ago, and he Is survived In
addition by four children, the son men
tioned and the following daughters:
Mrs. AV. E. Benjamin, Mrs. Urbeu H.
Broughten and Mrs. William R. Coe.
Those who knew him were wont to
compare Rogers with a kaleidoscope.
Genial, approachable, talkative and al
together attractive, then sarcastic bit-
tor mid jeering: cordial In one hrcnth,
chilly as loo In tin? next that was
Rogers. Ills voice could travel through
the scale of vhidlctlveness, cruelty, In-'i
difference, politeness, affability ami
friendliness In n single sentence.
There were, In fact, as many opin
Ions of Henry II. Ropers as there were
sides to him. The friends who visited
hlin at his Now York house or at Ills
I'alrhaven estate or aboard his Kana
wha, the fleetest yacht alloat. know
him as a prince of entertainers and an
all around good fellow. His business
acquaintances regard him as exact- 1

STRIKE ENDED FOR $1,000.
Testimony Against Building Trade I
Leader In Chicago.
Chicago, May 20. A Hood of light
was thrown upon building trade strikes
in Chicago at the trial here of Martin
U. Madden, president of the Associated
Building Trades Council of Chicago,
and his associates, F. A. Pouchot and
M. J. Boyle, charged with conspiracy
to extort $1,000 from the Joseph Kilcka
company during a strike on Its plant.
The strike was called by Madden,
who, fur clad and wearing a diamond
pin, Hhouted the order from his auto
mobile. The story of the alleged extortion, as
told by D. L. Frnzor, a construction
engineer employed by Post & Mnchler,
architects of the Kilcka plant, and by
Emll Kilcka, president of the Joseph
Klicka company, has to do with the al
leged passing of money in a down
town saloon and In substance follows:
The strike having been called for no
nppareut renson, Mr. Kilcka sent Mr.
Frazer to see Boyle, who, when asked
how the matter could be settled, said
that Kilcka would have to see Madden.
Klicka and Frazer waited In a saloon
until Madden and his motor car ar
rived, after which Madden and Kilcka
entered a private olllce ut the end of
the bar.
Klicka and Frazer gave $200 to Boyle
for expenses incurred in calling the
strike, hoping that Boyle would bring
the trouble to an end. Boyle, how
ever, said that the settlement was up
to Madden.
Frazer declared that Madden de
manded $1,."00 as the price of putting
the men hack to work and that Klicka
emerged from the olllce branding the
price as an outrage.
George S. Andres, a construction en
gineer, swore that Klicka gavo him
$1,000 with which to settle the strike.
Andres having told Kilcka that it could
be settled for that sum.
"How am I to know the strike will
be called off If I give you the money?"
I asked him. "Don't worry,'' he said.
"I asked Madden what to do with
the money, and he told me to throw It
on the desk. I did so, and Madden
shoved It in his pocket."
The next day the strike was called
oft" and the men returned to work.

BEVERIDMUS
Says Undue Haste Will Not
Help Tariff Bill.
HE DEMANDS FREE HEARINGS.
"
Indiana Senator Protests Against
What He Calls the Autocratic
Action of Aldrich's Fi
nance Committee.
Washington, May 20. Senator Bev
eridge of Indiana served notice tin the
senate leaders that undue haste would
not expedite the passage of tlie tariff
bill.
Mr. Beverldge protested against
what he characterized as the despotic
action of the members of the finance
committee In disposing summarily of
the proviso to tlie paragraph relating
to watch movements Instead of allow
ing It to go over, as he suggested.
He declared that the proviso, which
requires that all watch and clock dials
shall have printed thereon the country
of origin and, If attached to move
ments, in addition to the country of
origin, Jhe name of tlie manufacturer,
would have the ' effect of destroying
the business of the thousands of retail
watch dealers of the country.
He said that he believed that the
name of the country of origin was all
that was necessary to prevent fraud
upon the purchaser.
"The question is," Mr. Beverldge
added, "whether we shall destroy the
business of the thousands of retail
watch dealers in tills country to bene
fit the watch trust."
Mr. Beverldge criticised tlie attitude
of other members of the senate who.
in their haste to pass the tariff bill,
objected to allowing a full discussion
of all sides of the case.
"A free hearing, when it is asked,"
ho added, "will save much time. A
senator who has done all lie wants In
the bill can deny any other member a
hearing."
Senator Tillman suggested that the
adoption of tlie proviso be reconsider
ed and the whole subject be reopened,
but Mr, Beverldge said he was not
prepared at this time to treat tlie sub
ject as fully as he would like, but he
promised to bring the matter up later
and offer an amendment to correct the
paragraph so as to conform to his
views.
' The consideration of the metal scbed
t ule was completed. A committee
1 amendment opposing the duty of 4
cents and nr per cent ad valorem on
1 cans, boxes, packages and other con-
tablet's was agreed to.
At the request of Mr. Aldrich. chair-
man of the finance committee, tlie pro
viso admitting lever and gonglierough
lace machines free of duty until July
3, l'.Ml, was stricken from the bill.
An amendment offered hy Senator
Paynter to reduce the duty on type
setting machines from 30 to 10 per
cent ad valorem was defeated by a
vote of .'55 yeas to 41! nays. The Re-
publicans voting with tlie Democrats
In favor of the amendment were
Messrs. Borah, Bristow, Brown, Bur
kett, Clapp, Dolliver, La Folletto nnd
Nelson.

reduce the duty on sewing machines
from HO to 20 per cent nd valorem was
rejected hy a vote of 20 to 43, Sena

Mr. Dolliver offered an amendment
to mako the duty of 45 per cent ad va

specially provided for whose "chief
value" was metal instead of those
composed "In part" of metal and de
clared ' that the committee provision
placed under this schedule many arti
cles containing but n trilling quantity
of metal. Tlie amendment was reject
ed by a vote of 30 to 40.

Three Rolls of the Drug Found In Con
victed Man's Clothing
Flushing, X. Y., May 20. Three rolls
of opium containing thirty-six grains
were found in tho clothing of Captain
Peter C. Halns, Jr., which lie discard
ed on his return to the Queens county
jail after being sentenced to Sing Sing
prison for the murder of William E.
Anuis. Before placing tho captain In n
cell on his return to the jail Sheriff
Harvey directed that he be stripped of
the suit he wore and given other cloth
ing. Tho finding of this drug explains tlie
continual dreamy condition which
marked the captain's demeanor ever
since his arrest. His jailers said he
was n "dope" user. His peculiar sal
low complexion, vacant stare and
glazed eyes led many to believe that
he was a victim of the habit.

HONORS EVEN ON BOTH SIDES
Fhiladelphian's Quickness of Foot
and Cleverness In Ducking
Saves Him In Several
Close Calls.
Philadelphia, May 20. Philadelphia
was crowded to see Jack Johnson, the
new champion heavyweight, In action
for the first time since lie took the
somewhat dubious title from Tommy
Burns In far off Australia last Decem
ber. But their Interest in the big col
ored fighter scarcely exceeded that in
Jack O'Brien, tlie favorite son, pitted
against a man vastly his superior in
weight. It was a crowd tensely ex
pectnnt that filled the arena of the
National Athletic club. There were
seats for 3.700 persons, and COO others
choked the narrow aisles. Special
trains brought big delegations of spec
tators from Now York, Washington,
Baltimore, Pittsburg and even Chi
cago. There was little or no public betting
on the fight at the ringside. The fact
that no decision is allowed on six
round bouts In this state was respon
sible, of course, for this. There was
some private wagering, however, that
O'Brien would have the advantage on
I points. On this he was favorite at
I odds of R to 4. v
When Johnson shouldered his way
through the crowded aisles and climb
ed into tlie ring ills reception was not
enthusiastic, and there was even some
hooting by the galleries. O'Brien

and they sparred cautiously. O'Brien
caught Johnson with a stiff left on the
face three times, nnd the crowd cheer -
ed frantically. Johnson rushed him to
the ropes, landing left on the body
lightly. Both appeared winded, nnd
Johnson waited for O'Brien to lead.
Johnson went after O'Brien like a
whirlwind, but nulck footwork took
the Philadelphia man out of harm's
way. O Brleu did the cleaner work
In tills round.
Third Round. Johnson missed left
nnd took n light stab in tho face in re

flash, landing left on the face, but took
a stiff left to the stomach at close
range. Johnson forced O'Brien, sham

O'Brien's lead, but was slow In coun

Johnson went after him viciously nnd

Johnson appeared somewhat winded
at the end of the round, which was
obout even, with O'Brien's work show
ing cleaner.
Fourth Round. O'Brien put left to
face and took right on body, and they
sparred cuutiously. O'Brien caught
Johnson a jarring smash on tho faco
with his left, and Johnson's mouth
showed the effects. Johnson slowed
up and waited for O'Brien to lead. The
crowd yelled for O'Brien to "come nnd
show him up," but Johnson only grin
ned and walked In. Ho caught O'Brien
a glancing right on the head and a
left ou tho body, but O'Brien was go-
lug away, and the blows lacked steam.
O'Hrlen feinted and missed a left
swing, going to his knees from the Im
petus of the blow. Johnson appeared
slow and had no advantage In the
I round. If anything, It was to O'lltion's
down, but was up like a Hash and
fighting strong. Johnson tried to send
In his right uppercut that proved so
effective with Tommy Burns, but was
blocked. A right to the face cut
O'Brien's right eye badly, but he came
back with a left Hush on Johnson's
mouth. Johnson rushed viciously, pin
ning O'Brien to the ropes and wres
tling hlin down. O'Brien did most of
the leading at this stage and just as
the gong sounded sent a hard left to
Johnson's face.
Sixth Round. They shook hands gin
gerly for the wlrnlup nnd sparred cau
tiously. O'Brien led a left, which
lauded on the body good and hard.
Johnson only smiled and held up his
hand to indicate that lie had blocked
It. O'Brien rushed In ngaln nnd tried
hard to land on the face and body, but
was blocked In his efforts. Finally he
sent a stiff left to the face and took a
hard right counter on the head In re
turn. Johnson met O'Brien with a
left to the face as he stepped in, and
the round ended In a clinch.
The consensus of opinion among ex
perts at the ringside was that the fight
was a draw. Referee McGuigan said
O'Brien did remarkably well.
