& JOEN 'S GLEING ing his age. But when he strode af- ter his ball he became suddenly erect, and his arms swung out strongly. From then on it was buai- ness—business as serious in a way as that which he sloughed off sixteen s oo £ Newspaper Reporter Visits il Baron on Links Ormond Beach, Fla., Jan. 19 (UP) —The crowded hour of John D. Rockefeller's day begins with almost unfailing regularity at 10:05 a. m. Then, alone in the tonneau of his closed motor car, the one-time “octopus” starts for the golf course a quarter of a mile from his home to distribute his famous dimes, chat with anyone he may meet, friend or stranger, and play his six holes of golf. The United Press correspondent waited one morning for Rockefel- ler's arrival at the course. As Rockefeller's car drew up at fifty yards from the first tee, the tall, stooped figure of the former oil monopolist emerged, and with his chauffer'’s help “John D.” shed a dark raglan overcoat, a gr coat, and a gray silk vest. He stood blinking in the sun and smiling for a moment, walting ap- parently eagerly for the never failing group of curious visitors to ap- proach. Rockefeller's smile broadened as they bunched in front of him— stammering women, giggling girls and diffident men. There were a fe words of inconsequential chat with each, “Yes, I'm feeling fine, thank you,” “Isn’t it a fine day? Well, T hope you're not disappointed”’—to a «irl who had sald she always wanted 1o see him, Then he moved oft towards the * tee. Awaiting him on the in- ning putting green was his Iy golt partner, Gen. Adelbert Ames, 91, militarily erect—the oldest living American general. They greet- ed each other merrily, and arm in arm, the aged general and the capi- talist, 2 1-2 years his junior, moved on another few yards to talk to Neil Young and James Thompson, two of the professionals at the course. Three more tourists were awalt- ing Rockefeller, two girls and their escort. Another few words of chat and “John D.” reached into the left- hand pocket of his trousers. “Would you care to accept a dime from me as & souvenir of our meet- ing?” he asked the girls almost bashtully, Of course they would, and with a smile he went onto the course. Rockefeller stood there for a mo- ment, looking across the course, in long dark gray trousers, tan shoes, a light gray woolen shirt with but- toned tucks in its sleeves, and a gray | sleeveless coat sweater. His gray silk cap was one of those with carlaps, held up by a ribbon tied in a bow on top. Greets His Caddy He greeted his little darky—very dark—boy caddy, who grinned as the tall, white old man held a hand out smiling and proffering the dime— over his head and laughed as if to say he was getting shorter than ever instead of growing up. He put on his gray gloves, limbered up by waving hie arms and doing a sort of sctting up exercise that consisted of leaning over and backward, teed his ball, and swung. It was a surprisingly accurate shot, straight down the fairway, and of good length. “Does he do that often?” One of the professionals was asked. “He'd be as good as there fs if he was 60 years younger,” Neil Young, professional, replicd. *“John D.” had walked up to the tee somewhat haltingly, and sho Weather you cough or not depends on the cigarstte you emoka.

He skipped the third and | tourth holes, two of the longest on |the course—doctor's orders. He fin- | ished at the eighth. A private road divides the hairpin course there at the eighth and fourteenth holes, and “John D's” car was awaiting him. As usual also there was a group of people waiting for him. Laughter came from down the course, and a ball landed 18 inches from the 8th hole. Rockefeller, Gen. Ames and Father Patrick J. Lennon of New York, his house _uest, who had started a three-some, came into sight with a white bearded man and a girl. Their game had been welded into a five-some, apparently, Rockefeller holed out—the putt near the hole had been his—and drawing off his gloves moved toward his car with a wave and a wish that they might play together again. The group of people moved up. “I am an Avery, Mr. Rockefeller, and I wanted to see you,” a woman said. An Avery? I'm_proud to be an Avery myself’—he is of Avery de- ent on his father's side. “Are we! related ?" NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1928 suggested. “Yes, it does, in any walk of life.” he sald. “Some people may gain a temporary advantage by not doing the right thing. But it is a superfi- clal view. It never pays. Never, It takes some of them a long time to find it out.” Rockefellor said goodbye and moved over to his car. The chauf- feur was waliting, with an armful of wraps. The gray silk vest went on, and the coat. The overcoat was waved aside, and Rockefeller drove NORMONS LOCATE FOUNDERS BODIES Had Been Missing Since Deaths in 1844 | ANNOUNCEMENT MADE | BY SCHULTE SYSTEM New Corporation Formed With Re- sources of $475,000,000 — Con- trolled by United Olgar Intevests, New York, Jan. 19.—(UP)~— David A.

The city council ordered destruction of the newspaper plant almost immedi- ately after the first issue. It was destroyed and the two Smith broth- ers and several others who were parties of action against the news- paper, were charged with treason and thrown into the Hancock county jail at Carthage, IIL Feeling against the prisoners was 80 intense that a company of Illinois militia, known as the Carthage Grays, was ordered to protect them at the jail. The angered mob, how- ever, broke through and shot and killed the two brothers. The fate of the others has remained problem- atical. Mock Funeral Held A few days later, Joseph Smith's wife, Emma, placed the bodies on & wagon and removed them to the old “Mansion House” at Nauvoo. The wite then caused a mock funeral to be held, the supposed caskets of the brothers being filled with stones. Later, the bodies were secretly bur- ied by the widow. Since the trial the Mormons have sung the story in the hymn *“There's an unknown grave in a green, lowly spot.” pAIw;,ys there has been controversy between the followers of Brigham Young and those who remained in the middlewest, followers of the Smith Mormon faith, as to the bur- 1al place of the brothers. Frederick M. Smith of Indepen- dence, Mo., president of the reorgan- ized church, known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, was in Nauvoo today to view the graves and, it was thought, planned removal of the bodies to a more fit- ting shrine. s CHILEAN EDITOR RESIGNS Santiago, Chile, Jan. 19.—(M— Louis Cruz editor In chief of La Naclon, the government mouthpiece, resigned yesterday afternoon.
