JOHN D. SR. IN FIGHT WITH SON ON STEWART Younger Man Is Doing Right in Battle, Says Father. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. I.—John D. Rockefeller Sr., the 89-year-old creator of the Standard Oil Company, definitely is behind his son John D. Jr., in his fight to unseat Robert W. Stewart as head of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana Whether he will take active part in iining up proxies for the stockholders meeting March 7 the elder Rockefeller’s sta cement, issued here Thursday night, did not make clear. Wall Street, however, assumed he would use his influence in that di- ! rectlon. Views Fight as Moral Issue Hitherto silent, the aged oil man j Indicated he viewed his son’s bat- j tie as a moral issue. Himself once j attacked for his methods in building up Standard Oil, he made plain ( that “good conscience” forced his j son to oppose Stewart for dealings j that brought him under senate fire Besides, he added, the best wel- I fare of Indiana Standard and “large corporate interests in general” de- I manded Stewart's ousting. His statement, issued at Standard Oil offices here while he was vacationing in Florida, was a direct j answer to Stewart’s declaration here ! Jan. 18 that “Mr. Rockefeller never J has intimated to me that he was j dissatisfied with my conduct, and I j don’t believe he ever will.” The statement issued on Rockefeller’s behalf said: "The press has several times re- j ported a statement from Colonel j Stewart to the effect John D. Rockefeller Sr. would be pleased by the j re-election of Colonel Stewart as a j director of the Standard Oil Com- j pany of Indiana. Mr. Rockefeller j Sr. has been informed that many i people in the west have been mis- j led by this report. For this reason | he . thinks it necessary to make this j statement. Son Is Doing Right “Mr. Rockefeller Sr. owns no j stock in the Standard Oil Company j of Indiana. He feels that his son 1 has proceeded only with the earnest desire to do that which will be for the truest welfare of the Standard | Oil Company of Indiana and lor large corporate interests in general, j “Mr. Rockefeller Sr. agrees with | his son and does not see how i;:?. j son could have done otherwise. He I has proceeded with deliberation and | patience and with the utmost con- > sideratlon for the feelings of all ! parties concerned. It has been an unleasant duty for him, but one which in all good conscience he could not shirk.” RECEIVER TAKES OVER MISSING MAN’S STORE Proceedings Reveal Disappearance | From Newcastle Three Weeks Ago. j Bn Timrs Bpceial NEWCASTLE, Ind., Feb. I.—Herman C. Miller, cigar store and poolroom proprietor, has been missing j three weeks, it was revealed when Harley J. Pressnall was appointed by the Henry circuit court as receiver for Miller’s business. In some quarters it is feared Miller has been the victim of foul play, friends and business associates saying he had $1,500 in cash and $2,000 in bonds when he left here, presumably to go to a hospital at Rochester, Minn. Others bs-lieve Miller may have fled the city in an effort to avoid payment of a $1,443 debt to the Citizens Trust and Savings Company, which instituted the receivership proceedings.

CHIVALRY LIVES YET FOR YOUNGER SET

‘King Arthur’ and ‘Treasure Island’ Popular Among Children’s Books; Chivalry may be dead and buried during a 6 p. m. street car rush, but there’s one place in Indianapolis where it lives—the children's reading room in the central public library. Notwithstanding the increase of biood-and-thunder “three-ball” magazines and sorupy love stories stacked in homes, King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table form some of the most wellthumbed volumes in the reading room for adolescents. Homer’s “Odyssey” vies with Ste-

venson’s "Treasure Island” for second call from immature minds. Dumas and his “Three Musketeers" have a hard battle to keep Mark Twain’s “Huckleberry Finn” from a front rank. And children still believe in fairies or Hans Andersen’s tales, Aesop’s Fables, Winnie—The—Pooh, Arabian Nights, The Golden Fleece and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland wouldn’t need new bindings with as much frequency. In the fictional shelves an elder one would find disappointment. Henry, and his not always accurate hisjtorical adventures, are getting dusty from disuse. The whole set isn’t there. Kirk Munvo with his heroic escapades among the Indians have lost their “tony” place. Horatio Alger’s “bootblack-million-

aires” must have gone back to bootblacking for a living. Captain King’s war yarns lay peacefully on their shelves. In turn Hal G. Evarts "Bald Face,” Ross Santee’s “Cowboy,” a lengthy set of books by Joseph A. Altsheler. with a wide variety of mystery and adventure novels have supplanted the old favorites in the lives of youth. But while Lindy's “We” strums adventure’s urge for boydom you’ll find that same youth carrying “Robinson Crusoe” home with him as a companionate volume. Carrie E. Scott, head of the children’s library and L. L. Dickerson, librarian, aver that girls no longer care for simpering, wishy-washy tales about girlhood when they can masticate mentally “The Powder Dock Mystery,” “The Tatooed Men,” “Moby Dick,” “Fighting Blood,” and others of the same red corpuscled ilk. Nor is the children’s reading room a room exclusively for children. The librarians say that men in their
