F S VIGOR Keeps in Close Touch With Gigantic Business Which He Leads EDITOR'S NOTE. Standing head and shoulders ahpve the great financiers and industrial kings of the the man whose vision and genius the man whose vision and geniue brought Into being the greatest business concern the v.-orld has ever een. Much is known of the works of John D. Rockefeller, the oil kins, the philanthropist, the business geninus. Little Is known of John D. Rockefeller the man. He has shunned Interviewers and avoided contact, -with the public. The International News Service herewith presenta the first of a series of three- stories about the aged oil king which reveal John D. R.ockefeller. the rr.an. as he is now, at the age cf S3.' still keeping a light touch on the reins of his gigantic business. By MILDRED MORRIS (Copywrlght 1922. By International News Service) ORMONB BEACH, Fla.. April 6. At 83, John i. Rockefeller is still on the job. I just saw the master of the world's greatest business and talked with him. The aged Standard Oil magnate i as been Inaccessible to Interviewers. , In company -with Dr. Frank PCerrigan of Cleveland, Ohio, just returned from a tour of South America, made in behalf of the American College of Surgeons, I spent an evening with htm and had a "rare close up" of John D. Rockefeller, human being. Although pajit four score in years, ha has lost none- of his mental vigor. ' LOOKCOOD FOB TEARS p-hysically. he is At, surrounded by every attention, he looks good for years to come. H'.s hand clasp Is strong, his oice clear I heard it sing the Doxology In robust tones. At 8J, he keeps in active touch xr'.th the gigantic business that has made his name synonymous -with riches the world over. He is optimistic about the business outlook this man of vast vrealth and mighty power. E-emlnded that dark clouds horer ever the- world; that events and conditions give little ground for cheer, he said: "Don't worry. The darkness is only temporary. The world Is coming out of it all right." THRIFTY OF SPEECH The man of minior. is thrifty of speech. He volunteered few opinions during the evening. Most of his comments, brought out by the conversation, shed light on his views. Once, when the business depression was mentioned, be said: "We can only watch events." An opinion expressed by Corrigan he supplemented with the remark: "Yes, that's true we need a return to the lule of common sense.'-' It waa suggested that the coal strike would not turn out to be a strike of Importance. "Tou can't tell yet," said the man who has millions Invested in coal mines. To the opinion that "it was a good time to strike from the standpoint of industries, with all hard hit by the depression and a lare part closed down, he said: "Tes. it would seem so." RUSSIA AX OBJECT LESSOV Dr. Corrigan expressed the belief that the "Russian failure had been an object lesson to the rest of the world," referring to the soviet government, r "Tes, that Is true," said the oil fancier. The aged multi-millionaire, came to Ormond Just across the road from his winter home to call on Dr. Corrigan and incidentally to hear the closing Sunday night concert of the hotel orchestra. He was accompanied by the two devoted women members jo? ihis household. Mrs. Evans, his niece, and Mr?. Worley! another relative, his grfndon, John D. III. son of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and the young man's tutor. The famous rich man listened with deep interest as the young Cleveland surgeon, an assistant of his old physician and friend. Dr. Hiram F.lggar, tfecrihed the wonderful progress of medical science In South America and the results accomplished there ("Continued on page five.)

RILEY'S RETURN FINDS POLITICIANSON EDGE Sensation Created in Campaign by Arrival of the Banker From Orient.

Political activity this week centers around the Col. Riley bank at Calumet, East Chicago. When Col. W. J. Riley, talked-of candidate for United States senator against Jim Watson In two years, returned this week from a. threemonth tour of the Orient, he was bcsclged by politicians as well as people who wanted to borrow money from $50 to $50,000. Although rumors hare been circulated that Col. Riley has sponsored certain candidates, it Is believed by many republicans that he will take very little part in the primary fight. Col. Riley with W. P. Gleason of Gary and Mat Brown of Crown Point Is credited with shaping the destinies of the party In Lake county and having a great deal to do with state and national politics. Charles Dyer, one of the members of Riley's law firm. Is a candidate for county clerk and there is a great deal of speculation as to whether or not the Colonel will take off his coat and go to work for his law partner or stay out of the clerkship fight. At any rate, Riley's return has created the greatest sensation of the campaign throughout' the county which testifies to his Importance In politics. ASKS THAT BALLY-HOE AT POLLSJMPPEE Woman Voter Says That She Does Not Want to Be Molested. A well -known Hammond woman called The Times today and asked for the reporter who covers polltics. "I wish The Times would take the initiative In a movement to limit the number of workers at the polls primary day," she eald. "It Is embarrassing for women to have to rm a gauntlet of woukers for various candidates. . The last election there were as many as a dozen workers for one candidate at the place where I voted. "It seems to me that I should have the right to enter the voting place without having men and women follow me for a block, shoving candidates' cards in my hands and hollering at me to vote for so and si. The voter is presumed to have his or her mind made up before he or she goes to the poUs It is an Insult- to a voter's Intelligence to have to be told how to (vote Just before he casts his ballot. : "Isn't there someway In which the bally-hoo feature can be eliminated from voting? Can't the election board make rules that will protect the voter from this nuisance?" VALUABLE CACHE FOUND IN EAST Ten Thousand Dollars In Gold and Liquor Secreted by J. Vrbancic. The unearthing of $10,000 in go:a and liquor was the find of Federal Prohibition Officer Harvey Rhedd, Captain Tim O'Neil and Officer Edward Muah of the East Chicago pMice department when making a raid at the home of Jacob Vrbancic, an ex-saloon keeper living at 4214 Tod'l ave., East Chicago, yesterday afternoon. Buried beneath the floor of tb garage between twenty cases of old bonded Spring Valley bourbon and four hundred gallons of red wine, scurely tied In a canvas bag, was e ghtccn hundred dollars' In gold. When the large hole was vacated by the whiskey and wine, the value or the pecu.iar looking ba? thr.t dropped to the bottom failed to dawn upon the officers. It was after everything had been carried away that the officsrs made a second survey of the uncovered grave and discovered that the hefty package contained eighteen hundred dollars in gold. For safe keeping, the money was brought to the East Chicago police station, as was Jacob Vrbancic, the owner. And there Verbancic to'd of his frustal motives. When the eighteenth amendment was indicted upon the ex-saloon keeper In 1918, he bought a little home on Todd ave. and salted away a supply of 1911 stock. His let-son of saving for the rainy day was also learned during his practice as bartender and in a frugal way started a savings account In the small hole where he had burled hit "boeze." Vrbancic says he Intends to build a home tnr h's sister nd himself when he gets out of this scrape. H. F. Rorliwood, vice president of the Continental Auto Insurance Association of Springfield, Illinois, was the guest of William A. Young. Hammond agent of fire, auto and life insurance, yesterday.

OPERATORS REFUSE TO ACCEPT BID Congress' Invitation to Parley With Miners is Turned Down

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICl INDIANAPOLIS. April 6 In the face of refusal of powerful groups of coal operators to accept the congressional bid for a waae narlev with miners' officials, the next move in the national coal strike was j problematical today. The invitation of Chairman Nolan of the House labor committee was looked upon as the only means of bringing about an early end of the gigantic "suspension of Industry" and its rejection, in union circles here, is taken as pointing to . long drawn out controversy. The Pittsburgh Coal Producers Association and the operators of Illinois and Southern Ohio were yet to make known their attitude toward the congressional invitation, but the Pittsburgh vein operators and Ohio Collieries Co. have flatly declined the bid and the reply of the Indiana operators is tantamount to refusal. The Indiana men accepted on condition that all the central competitive field owners be represented in the conference. John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Worker., had informed the House committee that if enough of the operators got together it would be sufficient basis for making a new wage contract for the great central competitive field. Now, however, even though the remaining operators accede to congress' request. It appears unlikely that representation will be general enough to warrant the holding o fthe conference, according to opinion expressed in miners' circles. LECTURES Dr. William Windsor of 1'iti.iburg. an exponent of temperamental psychology, furnished an entertaining hour at the Hammond Chamber of Commerce luncheon today when he explained in the limited time at his disposal the manner In whicn his pet science may be applied t" all walks of Tfe. ; Mr. AVlntUor showed how a man through the mastery of the science may not only gauge others with whom he comes In contact, but ie may analyze himself and loarn what he is best adapted to and the conditions underwhlch he can accomplish most. To illustrate his contention he took three examples from the crowd. Attorney Jesse Wilson, "Commodore" C H. J. Thorby and Henry Conkey. Some of the points brought out may not have been altogether pleasant for the subjects but they admitted they were, true and the crowd had a lot of amusement. Dr. Windsor will deliver another address tomorrow evening at the Chamber of Commerce rooms at 8 o'clock. This lecture will also be free and a good turnout i3 desired. The luncheon today was featured by the largest crowd In months, as the Rotary and Klwanis clubs also turned out. ABANDON HOPE OFSTRIKE SETTLEMENT (INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE) WASHINGTON, April 6. All hope of effecting early settlement of the nation-wide coal strike, through a "peace meeting" between operators and striking miners, proposed by the Hcuse Labor Committee was definitely abandoned this afternoon. Rejection of the Joint conference invitation by a majority of the operators in the central competitive field was announced by Chairman Nolan of the Congressional committee. The refusals, he admitted, sidetracked eflorts to end the strike, "for the present at least.-' "But," he added, "we have not yet lost all hoipe that eventually the operators will agree to holding a joint conference with the miners as the ibest method of effectually solving the present controversy."

Police Found Perfect Distillation When They Ran Across This Couple

Fearful lest a general knowledge of a secret manner of distilling moonshine, discovered by them raided the residence of a pair of American scientific moonshiners on the south side, might lead to an increase in the illegitimate liquor traffic, police today are guarding closely the operation of the student-distillers by which they produced a brand of moonshine virtually free of the dread fusel oil and containing all the properties of liquor aged in wood for ten or fifteen years. Two men were captured in the raid on the Euclid avenue domicile. Both were released on bonds of $1,000. They'll be tried in the city court tomorrow on charges of violating the liquor law. But more important than that is the fact that they seem to have found the secret blend that gives an ordinary hootch all the qualities of old, old, bonded liquor. The intricate apparatus, with which they distilled the spirits is being closely studied. In their success in removing every trace of fusel oil, deadliest of alcohol poisons, police say the amateur moonshiners have achieved the acme of perfect distillation. They declare the discovery one of the most potent they've made since Chief Bunde began his war to mop up the basement liquor business. The men are alleged to have sold the liquor to railroad employes. The high quality of their product won instant recognition, it is said, and in fact it was because they couldn't meet the rapidly increasing demand that lead to their undoing. Other police raids yesterday netted the following: Andrew Nemalowski, 35 Co. House v. 1. 1. John Limokin, 35 Co. House, v. 1. 1. Poul Dunak, 35 Co. House, v. 1. 1. William Gowgiel, 734 Indianapolis, blvd., running a gambling house. Andrew Jacobs, 700 New York avenue, Whiting, gambling at 734 Indianapolis blvd. Detective Sergeants Singer, Einsele. Carlson and Warner and officer Bylicki made the liquor raid. Sergeant Horlbeck and officers Orr and Kelly nabbed the gambling house where they found the prisoners, several women and other men gambling. In city court yesterday Judge Cleveland handed out the following: Felix Porcianko, v. 1. I., 35 days on the penal farm and $130 and 60 days suspended; John Loose, $130; Mike Kubaski, $130 and 60 days, suspended; Adam Kronshack, $80. Gary's business district will house another banking institution the first of June. Occupying the remodeled and the spacious quarters formerly occupied by Rothschild's restaurant, at 25 E. Sixth avenue, the Commercial Trust Company with capital of $100,000 and a surplus of $10,000 will open it's doors on that date. With amost careful selection of officers, the Commercial Trust Co. promises to become one of the biggest financial concerns of the county. It will do a general trust business and the charter will permit it to do a general banking business. For the present however, officers of the organization will confine its activities to trust lines, later receiving deposits and becoming & member of Lake county's banking family. A charter is being applied for. Officers of the new institution are well known. They are President John Brown of Crown Point, president of the well known First National Bank of Crown Point and one of the oldest and best known bankers in Lake county. Vice-president J. J.
