Henry Flagler, a Founder o! Standard Oil, is Dead

National New Association) WE3T PALM BEACH. Fla., May 20. Henry M, Flagler, who has been seriously ill for some time, died here today. Mr. Flagler, Standard Oil magnate, railroad builder, builder and owner of hotels, and the man who "made" Florida, was one of the small coterie of men who was associated with John D. Rockefeller in founding the Standard Oil company, and became enormously rich with the growth of the gigantic corporation. His father was a poor Presbyterian preacher in Canandaigua, N. Y., who found it a rather difficult task to provide the necessaries of life for himself and family on an annual salary of $400. In the little village south of RocheEter Henry M. Flagler was born in 1830. He went to school in Cnnadaigua until he had reached his fourteenth year, when ho decided to earn his own living in order to relieve the stress of poverty for his mother and his sister. With a few dollars in his pocket and a carpet bag containing his other belongings in his hand, he started from his home and walked nine miles to Medina, where he obtained passage to Buffalo on a freight boat on the Erie canal. During the long journey he subsisted on the lunch which his mother had packed In his carpet bag. In Bufialo he took a vessel for Sandusky, which he reached after a stormy passage of three days, almost worn out by seasickness. What His Capital Was. From Sandusky young Flagler pushed on to the little Ohio village of Republic. When he arrived there he had a five-franc piece, a French gold coin equivalent to about one American dollar, five cents in silver and four copper pennies. The five-franc piece he never spent. It is one of the most treasured relics of his early career which he left to his heirs. At Republic be obtained work in a country store for $5 a month and his board. In ten months his pay was increased forty per cent, or about fifty cents a week. He worked hard and saved his money, gradually working his way up until he earned about $400 a year. After he had accumulated a little money he moved to Bellevue, a small place in the adjoining county and went into the grain business. John D. Rockefeller was then a commission merchant in Cleveland, and Flagler sent him many carloads of wheat which Rockefeller sold for HIGH PRESSURE VALUE Will Be Discussed By Mechanical Engineers. BALTIMORE, May 20 Fire protection and the value of high pressure systems wfll be the principal topics of the annual spring meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, which opened here today, and is scheduled to last until Friday. The delegates will be shown the high pressure water system recently installed in this city. Today the delegates were busy registering at the headquarters at the Hotel Belvedere. This evening there will be a membership reunion, and tomorrow the regular business meeting will start. Following the business meeting there will be a professional session during which the speakers will go into the mysteries of mechanical engineering. In the afternoon a demonstration of the high pressure system will be given in City Hall park, followed by an inspection of the pumping station .and a sail about the harbor to inspect the water front. On Friday the delegates will pay a visit to Annapolis, the capitol of Mary, land, and to the United States Naval academy, to be followed by a reception by Governor Goldsborough at the state house. FISHERMEN TO GET NEW LICENSES NOW The blank forms of the hunting and fishing licenses are now at the ofice of the county clerk. It is now necessary for fishermen of this county to buy a license providing they wish to fish outside of Wayne and adjoining counties. This is according to the recent law enacted by the state legislature. The licenses now issued are ior fishing or hunting. Against Substitutes Get the Well-Known Round Package pSV CAUT ION"

him., Flagler also acquired an interest in a distillery, which gave him an outlet for a considerable quantity of grain. When he left Bellevue, Flagler had accumulated a fortune of $50,000. Next he went -to Saginaw and tried to manufacture salt. At the end of three years he had lost his small fortune and owed $50,000 to the men who had been working in his salt factory. The relatives of his first wife, who died about thirty years ago leaving him a little boy, and a half-brother loaned him enough money at 10 per cent to pay his debts, and he removed to Cleveland and engaged in the grain and produce commission business. Associated With Rockefeller. John D. Rockefeller and William Rockefeller and Samuel Andrews had started a small oil refinery in Cleveland on the side of a hill. When the second refinery was built in 1867, Stephen Harkness, who was related to Flagler by marriage, backed him for $100,000 in a partnership with Mr. Rockefeller and his associates. Other little refineries had sprung up, and the associates bought them up as fast as their means permitted. This business developed rapidly, and in 1870 they closed their partnership organization and organized the Standard Oil company. At' first it was capitalized at $1,000,000, but after the company had bought out a few large concerns, it increased its capital to $3,500,000. Later it was increased to $70,000,000. With his steadily increasing wealth Mr. Flagler's business activities expanded and reached into other fields. He became interested in railroads, mines and banks, bought large tracts of timber land and, about twenty years ago, .recognizing the possibilities of Florida, he began the development of the resources of that state upon a large scale. He began to build railroads in Florida, connecting with eastern systems, erected a number of magnificent hotels, among then the famous Ponce de Leon at St. Augustine, the Alcazar and the Cordova, and with his second wife spent every winter upon his fine estate near the Florida coast. His second wife, who had been a Miss Shrouds, daughter of a poor Episcopalian clergyman in Philadelphia, became insane, and after her husband had spent a fortune in an effort to restorej her reason, he obtained a divorce and in 1901 married Miss Mary Lily Kenan, daughter of Captain W. R. Kenan, of Kenansville, N. C, who survives him.

EARLHAM IS READY FOR I, C, A, L, MEET

The Earlham baseball team plays Rose Poly tomorrow here and the annual I. C. A. I, track meet will be held here Saturday afternoon. The Quaker lads have been working two weeks in preparation for the meet. The weight events are taken care of by "Babe" Stanley and Walter Roberts is expected to take the pole vault and piobably break the Earlham track record set by Conrad. He went within one and seven-eights inches of the mark at Indiana. Johnson looks good in the century and broad jump and Harvey Cox will probably do something good in the quarter mile. Joe Roberts will surely take first place in both hurdles if. he equals his former record. The long grind and the fcfeond and third places are doubtful and on them will probably rest the decision of the meet. Earlham, Franklin, Rose Poly and Wabash are entered in the meet. The baseball game with Rose Poly tomorrow will probably prove one of the best games of the season. The engineers have a strong team and arc expecting to win the victory. Coach Thistlethwa!te has been working the Earlham nine hard this week. FERT1G- IS RELEASED D. D. Fertig, an employe of the' Richmond Ice Cream company.

BRANDS CALAVERAS SKULLASA HOAX Professor Hole, In Earlham Chapel, Talks on So-Called "Missing Links."

Prof. Allen D. Hole, head of the de partment of Geology at Earlham spoke j at the Earlham chapel exit cises this ; morning on the various skulls and skil- j etons which have been found in this I ccuntry and abroad which have beii called "missing links." Professor Hole! does not believe that these remains j does not think that there was human life on the earth before the ice sheet covered the most of North America. Professor Hole spoke particularly of the Calaveras Skull, found by gold miners in California. The gravel in which the skull was found is known as that of the tertiary period and is from ten to a hundred times as old as that in this part of the country which dates from the ice period. The ice period Is estimated to have been from S.000 to 50.000 years ago. making the skull, according to reports from fc0.00 to 500.000 years old. As other remains of the animals found near by are extinct species, and the stone implements found near the ckull are very similar to those used by the Indians in historic times. Prof. Hole does not believe that the skull belongs to the same age as the gold bearing gravel in which it was found. Three examinations were made by Prof. Hole. The finding of the Bkull. he says, might have been simply a joke, like the Cardiff giant hoax, where some one had carved a giant man out of stone and buried it, to be dug up later. Another explanation is that Indians might have buried one of their number in a very deep grave. Prof. Hole said that tne skeleton recently dug up in England may prove as old as has been stated, but he expects that some such explanation may be found for it also.
