which forbade any 8t*te to .deprive
the negro of his vote on account of
tots color or previous condition of
servitude, had not, ho said, been as
V aaccsmfai ae that of the ISth and

Fmm the New York American.
A new torpedo that will hurl Hs*U
at a battleship's hull faster than a
mho a minute.
A now submarine burpedd boat that
will bore a path beneath the surface
of the water at the -ate of ?0 miles an
hour.
A new motive power? motor.te?to
propel the torpedc ard the torpedo
bout so powerfully that if necessary
it will shoot them rocket-like out of
toe water.
This Irinlty of inventions, evolved
together, patented side by side by
Hudvcn Ma.xhn will put at the dispos?
al of the United States government
the most destructive engines of naval
warfare pons?sscd by any nation ot
tho world.
After more than two years of con?
stant experiment, the famous inventor
of smokeless povvuor and Max im do
has so fur perfected theso three en?
gines of war that he has Just applied
for letters-patent and notified the gov?
ernment of his success.
The narrative of his triply crowned
achlev-mer.t reads Ilk* a clastic ro
mance of adventure, for Mr. Maxim,
rtartlng out with the sole Intention of
'signing a torpedo that would sur?
pass in speed tho slowim?vlng Whit !
head, found that he had Invented not
culy wnat he sought, but also a mo
live power so tremendous that it
: hould revolutionize submarine war
faro, transpose the despised torped":
hunt Into the most dreaded fighting
monster of the sea, and?later?may
even be expectol to send a transatlan
tfc liner between New York and
Southampton faster than the fastest
trains on the land.
A deilcate blend of nitroglycerin e
f.t.M-eotu n and one other drug, and
the application of a new system of
"j*< propulsion"? the wme principal
ou wh'ch automobiles are run?Is th>
tecrot f.t it all.
At rhe outset Mr. Maxvn simply per?
ceived that the fastest gasollne-drlven
Whliehead torpedo??bot from the j
tube of a torpedo boat?traveled to- |
ward Its target never faster than a
1. athalf a mile a minute, and
never farrrflK-. %M
snw that the reason most of th*
WhiterVads never reach their mart
In warfare is because a Fpry war?
ship can steam out of the way of therp
after tht-y have started, or. bitter still,
can blow up both the torpedo and it*
torpedo boat with well-aimel rapid
Art guns half a dozen times in transit.
Therefore, it was Mr. Maxim's pur?
pose t>? get some new scheme cf pro?
pulsion into the stern of a torpedo so
that it c?uld reach the warship before
It could be rendered useless.
The taming of nitroglycerine and
?un-cHton from high explosives into
tractable means of boat propub?l?n
was not a simple matter. Bat Mr.
Maxim finally got It.
AI? he found u way to set this mo?
tive power going in the water, eg1
that the action of tho water turner*
the combustion of the hlendid explo?
sives into powerful jets, projecting
the vessel forward in leaps as the Jets
thrust out backward.
The big problem with Mr. Maxim
became how to tone them down so'
they wouldn't shiver the torpedo to
atoms each time he let >ne loose. But
finally he succeeded in regulating them
?thrust them beneath lerere under
perfect 'control, and when he got to
sending them out backward from the
stern of a half-ton t >.*pedo he found
that they would send the torpedo
nurtling through the wafer at any
rate of speed he cared to name and as
far as 1" miles with perfect elm.
Now the Inventor had achieved
what he had set cut for. And in his
moment of success it dawned on htm
thut he had achieved a thousand
times more. For If a half handful of
nndorlte would s-jnd a half t^n torpe.
do a rrile and a quarter In a minute
|a coupb- of handfuls ought to send
a whole submarine boat through Ihl
water Just as* fast.
It took Mr. Muxlm but a little
while to show that it would?and
mere. And thus came Into being the
model of the wonderful new motorite
torpedo boat that is to fire the won?
derful new torpedo.

FINE DISTINCTION
Col. Carroll, of Kentucky, Furnishes
Important Information as to Recip?
ients of Liquor Graft,- But Repu?
diates Charge That His Firm Prof?
ited From The Unlawful Transac?
tion.
Columbia, Feb., 12?Attorney Gen?
eral Lyon has been given certain in?
formation aa to whom the commiss?
ions were paid, said Col. Anthony J.
Carroll of Louisville yesterday after?
noon at the conclusion of his state?
ment to the dispensary commtaion. He
bad Bhov/ed the transaction which ap?
peared on the books and stated to the
commission that the othei infor?
mation had been asked for by the at?
torney general and had been given to
him in conference with Col. Felder.
'Toe attorney general has charge of
tho 'g^aff par** of the matter and \vr
are probing into the manner of the
transactions," remarked Cupt C. K.
Henderson jleasantly-.
This evoked a spirited rejoinder
from Col. Car: oil, the handsom-3 son
of the Blue Grass State wh) has been
speaker of the house of representa^
tives over there and also managing
editor of Col. Henry Watterson's .pa?
per the Louisville Courier-Journal.
'Not 'graft,' if you pleaae, HA The
Paul Jones company which I repre?
sent will leave South Carolina with n
loss on every sale made MM even if
you should decide to pay my claim
with all sorts of reductions made.
Wo will quit net loser, oven then,
and your proposition is that wo re?
fund the commissions that we had to
pay to get this business.
"I re pol with as good grace as pos?
sible tho imputation that 'graft' Is a
fit term to be applied to our side Of
the transactions with tho State dis?
pensary, We have made nothing out
of the business, and the 'graft' was on
the part of the people in South Caro?
lina With whom we had to deal. W*
paid 'commissions.' but no ?graut.''This
'graft' in the dispensary was the in-:
cvltutde result of a System which { as?
sure you we did not wish to create,,
nor did we seek to foster -or to Valid,

lic what>*? t>p na* ,.re of the in?
formation which C d. Carroll RgejQ rrrw
en to Attorney General Lyon, but It
must have been sometJUng worth
while, for Mr. Lyon came into the
meeting as Col. Carroll w*u* oewdud-'
ing and made a statement to the,
commission in executive sessioa. j
This information was ho part In Colo
Felder'* possession when Col. CajM
roll appeared before the ?oomri*ssion:
recently, but Col. Felder -coulfl natj
communicate qven to the com-?
mission what he know at that time,!
and Col. Carrol had to return tot
Loulsvlllle and get released from eer-1
tain obligations so that the commis?
sion could bo put in posseestlon of in ?
formation which .could not go apon:
the record as it will be u**<l Xu the
prosecitions. ,
When Col. Carvoll was here seme
time ago. Mr. Avery Pattoa objected
to paying the claim of Paul Jones &
Co. .on the ground that the state?
ments filed by Co). Carroll gave a
transcript of their books no fanther,
book than 1908.
"We paid no commissions U>r
South Carolina business before the,
year 1903," said Col. Carroll In a
most matter of fact manner yester-,
1
day, and the commission smiled Cox ;
the implication was strong that aftei
1903 it had cost the Paul Jones con?
cern a little something to get orders
from South Carolina.
It Would Not llmrt.
Said a well known buslnwas man the
other day: "It would not b*urt you to
occasionally mention our business in
the paper. It would help to fill up.

haven'i the least Idea on earth that
it would hurt us, und it would, as he
suggests, helpt to All up. We might
do all this, but at the same time we
do not have to do it unless we feel like
it. it weuld hurt not him, neither,
to come %nd say: "Give me a column
or a half column of spaco for an ad?
vertisement and here Is the money for
it." By doing this ho would become

dead-heads who expect the newspa?

provements they make, by giving
them free puffs, and for which they
never pay a cent. It Is high time for

authority for the following sensa?
tional story:
The body of Dr. William Avery
Rockefeller, father of the "Oil
King." John D. Rockfeller lies in
an unmarked grave In Oakland
Cemetery'; Frceportf 111. He died
I in that city May 11, 19')6, aged
I ninety-six years, (five months and
j twenty.-eight days.
For fifty years he led a double life.
Under the assumed name of Dr. Will?
iam Levinggston. He farmed and sold
medicine of his own decoction in
Illinois and North Dakota. During
those same years he occasionally ap?
peared at the homes of his sons and
among his old acquaintances in the
cast as Dr. William A. Rockefeller.
The proofs of this have been col?
lected by a World reporter whose
investigation has just been com?
pleted.
During thirty-four years of the
fifty he had two wives. One was
Mrs* Eliza Davlson Rockefeller ,the
mother of John D. Roclcofeller. The
other wras Mrs. Margaret L. Allen
Loving* ton. The first wife, Mrs.
Rockefeller, mother of the richest
man In tho worhl, he married in
New York state in IS37. She died
in New York in 1890 at the ago of
seventy-five.
The second rvlfe?, Mrs. L^vingkton,
he married in Ontario, O. This
second wife 1s now living in Fre^port,
?
111., a charming, white-ha inert,' Chris?
tian woman of 70 years.
Rr. Rockefeller was 4 5 years old
when he deserted his wife and famil}
in Cleveland and went to Canada
and, under the assumed name ol
William Levingbton, married Mis:
Mnrgaivt L. Allen, a pretty girl o:
twenty. For 50 years she has livc<

until just before he died that her bus

He was first hidden on a ^arn

vray b'?tween Decatur and Cbnton.
As the countijr settled up around him
he moved it? Free port, HI., and in
18$ 1 he moved again to the extreme
frontier In North Dakota, on a farm
30 miles from a railroad- On this
farm he spent each so. mm or for 15
years, known to h's neighbors as Wll
Ham Lcvlngston. Part of the time he

cret was burled in the records of the
county registrar of deeds. 18 miles

For two years the newspapers and
magazines of this country have
searched for the father of John D.
Rockefeller. Ida M. Tarbell began
the hunt, and the results of her quest
were published in McClure's Maga?

New York. Feb 10.?Speculative ac?
tivity in the securities market came
almost to a halt laat week in the
midst of the uncertainties presented!
by the accumulating evidence of
shrinkage of business and industries I
in the country and the symptoms of
political activity in the form of put
lie utterances by persons conspicuous
in political affairs. The .world of
stock market has felt Itself inveighed
against by both of the great political
parties, and has conceived that the
heat of the coming campaign -will see
a continuance of this policy in the
shaping of tho^ oratory and publicity
incident to the canvass of candidates
for the presidency.
A discouraging effect on active opw
erations In the stock market is ar?
gued from this prospect and a sum?
mer of dullness and neglect of the
market is looked forward (to, which
offers little inducement to present em?
barkation on speculative ventures.
The immediate effect of the neglected
condition of the market has been to
leave it open to shifting influences of
small professional oi>eTarW?ns, with a
dropping tendency present in a dull
market. Bear operations have b.?e.11

circulation of damaging rumors with?
