Rockefeller, began a suit in the Supreme Court to- day against various persons and broker- age firms in this city and Cleveland. Rockefeller, who ]lxu in Ohio, is seek- ing to recover $500,000. The suit is the outcome of stock trans- actions with Leland W. Prior, who com- mitted suicide in Cleveland on January 9. Prior's brokerage firm—Denison, Prior & Co.—suspended operations after @rior killed himself, and is now in the hands of a receiver. 4 It appears from Rockefeller’s complaint that he is desirous of holding the New York correspondents of Denison, Prior & Co. responsible for money lost through dealings with Prior. The New York cor- respondents were C. I. Hudson & Co., of | 38 Wall street, and E. & C. Randolph & Co., of 111 Broadway. Both firms are named as defendants, At the time that Prior committed sui- clde Rockefeller was dealing heavily in the stock of the Republic Iron and Steel Company. He had on deposit with the Prior firm and its auxiliaries large blocks of the stock, but it was in the name of Prior, ag it had not been pald for, he says, and simply was held for him. The stock. certificates had been {issued in Prior's name. As soon as he learned of Prior's sui- cide, Rockefeller says, he ordered all his deals closed. He now declares that they carrfed out his instructions and realized large sums by the sales; in fact, much more than what had been advanced on the &tock in the course of the purchase of the same. Rockefeller sues to recover the money realized over and above what was due the brokers. The receiver for the Prior firm, Thomas Bushnell, is named as a defendant in Rockefeller's suit. —e———— Duke of Connaught at a War Dance. LORENZO MARQUES, Portuguese East Africa, March 3.—The Duke of Con- naught, who has been on a tour of in- spection in British South Africa, today witnessed a war dance here by 12,000 natives. Such an armed assemblage is without parallel in times of peace. SUING TO CET [FAMOUS CASTLE 15 10 Bt SOLD Home of Anne Boleyn, Where Henry VIII Wooed and ‘Won Her, Is Put on Market Special Dispatch to The Call LONDON, March 3.—One more of the historic buildings of England is soon to come under the hammer. It is none other than the castle occupled by Anne Boleyn at the time when she was woed and won by Henry VIIL It is to~ day situated in one of the slummiest districts of London, at East Ham, the extreme eastern section of the metrop- olis, given up to gas and acid manu- factories., Where, in the early days when Henry VIII came to court Anne, there was nothing but green fields and sylvan dales, today the castle stands out from a waste of commercial enter- prises. The lines of an electric car pass the side of the ancient at] - ture; and were Anne Boleyn to revisit the scene and try, as in the old days, to discern the stretches of the Thames River, she would behold nothing but}. - factory chimnies and the gaunt sides of graln elevators. o Many pretty fables are connected with the castle. It is said that Anne— when Henry first began paying her hiy court and before his divorce from Cath- erine of Aragon—was wont to spend hours on the top of the battlements. It is even said that from these very es- carpments she could signal with her handkerchief to her royal lover as he came up the river in his state barge. It was here that Anne is said to have spent some of the happlest days of her life, brief though they were. After her coronation the unhappy Queen, as the world knows, was only acquainted with misery. It is because of this happy associa- tion of the ancient castle with Anne Boleyn that the people of East Ham, who still retain the appreciative sense —and especially those of antiquarian persuasions—wish to have the castle purchased for the public and turned into a museum and library. Within recent years the castle has been used as a Roman Catholic indus- trial school, but the authorities have taken the buildings and they .are to be sold. Ample grounds surround Boleyn i e m —_— ——1 ' . - = E e e ——7"/ e 740 Market Street — 3 _— MARCH WEATHER The wind, dampness and general uncertainty of March weather nake it a month of extreme danger to any one. rurtdown, overworked, brain-tired men and women who have not healthful.
