He was discovered right here in New York City, transacting business in his office at 26 Broadway. His appearance today at the office of the Standard Oil Company puts an end to the game of hide and seek, which for more than eight weeks | has kept the public guessing, cable, tel- egraph and telephone wires sizzling, his family and office assistants busy side- tracking inquisitive questioners and subpena servers jumping from place to place, wherever rumor had him. It became positively known to-day | that Rockefeller has been attending'to | his business, either in his office or dic- tating over the telephone to office. as- sistants during much of the time that he has been reported in remote sections of the globe. Persons who have daily come into contact with him say he has gained in flesh by laughing at the re- ports of his presence thousands of miles away from here and that he has been having a period of enjoyment with his golf games, A While it {s known that Rockefeller treats his “disappearing act” fippuntly, it is known also that Missouri's Attor- ney General does not so regard it. Had- ley has spent much time @nd money trying to find him, to question him ahout alleged monopolistic acts of the Standard Oil Company, and it is a well- established fact that ever since the oil king first became mysterious in his coming and going there has been an army of subpena servers hunting for him, thereby producing the most noto- rious and far-reaching “man hunt” that this country has ever witnessed. The following is the itinerary cover- ing the past twelve days of Reckefel- ler's life.

J,, yesterday, to the thirty-second operation that has been performed on one of his legs within fourteen years. The thirty-one preced- ing operations had tak away almost all of his leg, and the surgeons found only a stump yesterday. Besides losing his leg the operations have cost Roraln four years' time in the hospitals. Most of the operations have been due to Roraln’s eagerness to leave the hospi- tals in which the operations were per- formed, affording no time for his wounds to heal properly. Roraln hurt his foot in an elevator fourteen years ago. The first opera- tion cost him only a part of his foot. The surgeons say he will be fully cured In a month. 5 —————— New Rallroad to Be Bullt.

Despondent Man Drags Child to Room and Tries to Asphyxiate It. Isaac Cohen, a despondent shirt cutter, committed suici yesterday afternoon after having madé a vain attempt to mur- der his wife and three-year-old child. Prior to killing himself the suicide choked his wife almost into insensibility, and when she broke away from his fiendish clutches he seized hi§ baby girl, Maud, and locking himself and offspring in a room turned on four gas jets. The timely assistance of Mrs. E. C. Paul, Mrs. Co- hen's sister-in-law, saved the babe from a terrible death at the hands of a crazed father. Cohen, out of a job and morose of dis- position, saw only the world from a dis- mal point of view. Yesterday afternoon about 3:30 o’clock he startled his wife by telling her that they had best end their lives together. The woman, who is but 23 years of age and pretty, thought her spouse was joking. She tried to talk him out of his wild idea, when he suddenly seiged her by the throat and crying, ‘‘This ends it all,” for a half-hour choked her almost into insensibility. The man, huge of stature, fought fiendishly with his brute strength to kill his wife, and she, slight of build and sickly, fought back desperately for her life and the life of her beloved child. The woman gasped and choked, her eyes starting. Finally feeling her ,strength giving out, she tore her fingers deep into the madman's eye sock- ets, almost gouging out his eyes in her desperation. The would-be murderer released his hold, and while he blinked his damaged eyes Mrs. Cohen ran from the room, down the back stairs of the house into her sister-in-law’s home, below. Cohen, his face livid, his eves bulging with a maniacal stare, grabbed his baby girl and locked himself in the room just vacated by his wife. Then he turned on four gas jets. His little child saw this act and knew little what her father was about. Mrs. Cohen staggered into her sister-in- law’'s house, frantically tearing her hair and clothes and crying hysterically, “Save me; oh, save my baby, save my baby!" Mrs. Paul ran to the room where the father was preparing his and his child’s end. Cohen heard her coming, and open- ing the door kicked the child out into the hall and slammed the door. Mrs. Paul ran quickly downstairs with the precious babe, and the rest of the afternoon the two women hid in the house, fearful that the frenzied man would come in and at- tempt their lives. They tried to get E. C. Paul, the brother-in-law, by telephone, but could not. A little after 6 o'clock H. Winter, a roomer in the Cohen house, came home from work. He smelt gas, and went down to the Paul flat to find Mrs. Cohen. At this juncture Paul arrived and the hyster- ical women told their worst fears. The two men rushed up stairs, broke in the door of the parlor and there lay Cohen cold in death. In his left hand was clutched the cork of ar empty carbolic acid bottle, which lay by his side. His iips and face were seared, great red streaks marking the course of the acld. Hurriedly Paul and Winter dragged the lifeless man into the hall and vainly tried to -bring him to consgiousness. The ambu- lance was sent for, and the steward pro- nounced Cohen's life at an end. Melan- cholia had had its way. Mrs. Cohen lies at her home almost prostrated. Her baby playfully tells how she saw “papa turn on the das. An' he ticked me, too,” she lisped. Isaac Cohen was 27 years of e. He formerly worked for his father, ch Cohen, a shirt manufacturer, at 123 Pine street. The two aid not get on well to- rether and the young man quit his posi- on. His wife attributes his act to de- spondency and says that he was a shift- less husband. LOSES TWELVE YEARS OF LIFE FOR A CENT — Man Who Robbed a Mail Car- rier Released From Penitentiary.

Fog- | arty arrived here on the steamship Zee- | land from Antwerp, afterj six weeks | spent in Belgium in a fruitless search for the missing young man. He went abroad at the request of young Bard's family. He returned without having found a trace of Bard, dead or alive, but with the conviction that the young man had been murdered.

Fogarty was detailed on the case and he was given a leave of absence to go to Europe to continue the search. He associated himself with the Brussels detectives and they searched the city for Bard. But they found not a sin- gle trace. In Bard’s room Fogarty found the young man's violin, musiec, clothing and other effects. At the hotel he learned that just before Bard intended to sail for New York he had drawn out his deposit of $1000 in the Brussels bank where he did business. He learned, too, that the young man had become intensely interested during his short stay in Brussels in a young French woman, a music student like himsel§ and who lived in the same hotel.
