A BOY HEIR T0 - MUGHTER OF ADGKEFELLER Fight with Burglars at Home of Daughter Re- veals Fact that Baby Was Born to Mrs. Prentice.’ ee SOE ‘ | MORE THAN A MONTH OLD. Both the Burglars Who At- “tempted to Rob the House Captured and Mrs. Prentice Has Recovered from Shock. — ! What John D. Rockefeller has a grand- ;won has been made public through the ‘attempted robbery of the home of his Gaughter, Mrs. E. Parmalee Prentice, at No. 6 West Fifty-third street, yesterday afternoon. This new heir to the Rocke- feller’ millions was born a few days be- fore Christmas, but the fact was kept from the public. A name has been chosen for him, but he has not been “baptized, and until that ceremony is performed the name will be kept secret. Mr. Rockefeller lost his first grandson, Hittle ‘“‘Jack"’ McCormick, about two years ago. Mrs. Prentice, who has been under the ware of a trained nurse ever since the * pirth of her baby, has recovered almost @ntirely from the excitement of the gtruggie between her servants and the ‘burglars. Mr, Prentice, who was in Chi- ago last night, left that clty to-day on @ fast train for home, The family physician sald to-day that the anxious young husband will find his jwife almost restored to health on his errival. During all the confusion at- Al tendant upon the discovery of the bur- Blars the new heir to the Rockefeller millions reposed contentedly in the arms pf his nurse, Both Burglars Caught. Both burglars were captured, one, Charles Beckett, by servants in the fhouse, the other, John Dougherty, by detectives early to-day. The files of the Police Department show that they have criminal records, although Beckett @ays that he was never convicted of a crime. Dougherty succeeded in escaping dur- ing the excitement. He was found to- fay at his home, No. 329 East Twenty- third street. In the struggle in the ( home of Mr. Prentice one of the bur- Blars lost a derby hat of extremely large size—close to a No. & This hat fits Déugherty and another hat similar to it , Was found 1n his home. He has served it two terms for burglary and 1s a graduate of Elmira Reformatory. After a visit to Headquarters the burglars were ar- Falzned to-day in Yorkville Court and held in $1.5 ball for the Court of Special Sessions. There was astonishing boldness about the attémpted burgiary, The thieves tobk advantage of the fact that a gang of carpet-layers was at work in the dasement of the house under the super- vision of George Hein, the head butler. Thy gained admission'by asserting that they were carpet-layers, and the ser- vants pafd no more attention to them, ‘Ween by a Mousemata. A housemaid, hearing an unusual noise in the dining-room, where the table had been set for a dinner in honor of Joan D. Rockefeller, jr., investigated.

Coal prives are on the down grade. Although Coxe Bros. & Co, to-day quot- ed $0.50 for domestic anthracite along- side at Perth Amboy, N, J., their sensa- tional cut to $5.25 yesterday had the ef- fect of slashing into the high prices of the other independent operators. ‘The retail price for the month of Feb- ruary will open at $7.60, and if the little animal who appears on Feb. 2 ("Ground Hog Day") does not return to his lair prices will fall even lower. ‘The average retail price for January was $9.60, Several dealers called up by The Even- ing World had not yet put the $7.50 rate into effect. They quoted egg size at $8.50 a ton to-day, When the action of Coxe Bros. & Co. became known to-day at the head- quarters of the local coal trade, No. 1 Broadway, there was a general panic. Anthracite was offered at any old fig- ure. In the rush to unload, many of the agents of the Independents heretofore in- dependent by nature, called up the large retail dealers at their homes over the telephone. “What will you give?” sald a local representative of three companies in the Lehigh region. “Six dollars" was the dealer who had not heard made by Coxe Bros. & Co. A sale of} 1,200 tons was thereupon consummated, With anxious mien the independents are looking forward to Feb, 2, They hope| for a return of the ground hog to his} winter quarters, which by common re- pute means six more weeks of cold weather. Even the dense fog in the waterways tranaversing the greater city, which 13 an even greater hindrance {9 ‘the trans- shipment of coal than freezing temper- ature, had small effect in bolstering up ices. The mild weather ¢o-day had the effect of lessening she demand for an- thracite, and while there was practically reply of # of the cut} no $5 company coal coming In, dealers | found themselves with a supply greater than the demand. The general. price asked was $7.00, Coxe Bros, & ‘Co, did not reduce their coal through philanthropic motives. The crusade waged by The Evening World, combined with the action of the retail dealers, who held off buying upon being informed of the huge storages of coal in New Jersey, | responsible for the un- expected decline, Finding themsedves with a supply of 10,00) tons at Perth Amboy which was a drug on the market, Coxe Bros. & Co, aseaulted the market with a z- ure that attracted the buyers for the New Engiand market, While very ttle of the coal gold ‘at the low fig- ure will come into the New York mar- ket, it had the effect of scaring t other independents into reducing” thetr figures to $6 and $6.00, which was the prevailing price to-day. ——___ BRILL BALL A SUCCESS.

Long went to the hospital a disease analagous to the grip set in and this had effect upon the kidneys. There was for a time danger from uraemle poisoning. Mr, Long has been mildly delirious for some days, recog- nizing members of his family only at times.” On being pressed for an opinion on the patient's condition, Dr. Spooner re- plied: "It is serlous."* The following bulletin was Issued by the physicians In attendance at noon day ee) ng had a fairly good night.

Health Board Seeks Authors of Anonymous Letters, Making Startling Disclosures as to the Disowned Martin Child. HEARING STILL PROGRESSING When the hearing before Commis- sloner Lederle, of the Board of Health, of the charges made by Dr. John Mc- Leod Martin, of Boston, that a baby alleged to have been born to his wife, Mrs, Elizabeth Starr-Keefer Martin, is spurious was resumed fhis afternoon it was stated that before the day's ses- slon had closed some startling dis- closures would be made. For the past few days the authorities have been receiving anonymous letters that they are endeavoring to trace to their source. These letters are said to contain sensational statements that have direct bearing on the Martin case, and if thelr authors can & produced they will be compelled to tell under ath what proof they have of the re- markable charges they hint at. One of these letters Is written In Ger- man, and the handwriting has been compared with a death certificate, with the result that the authorities feel sure that they can discover its author, Mrs. Martin asserts that her baby was born in the house of a Mrs, Reichert, eight months ago, and the baby's name, Alexina, and the date of birth, June 21 last, were duly entered on the ‘Board of Health's record of statistics. Mrs, Reich- rt Is now very ill and will have to un- dergo a sertous operation. ‘Therefore it will probably be necessary to take her testimony for the hearing at her bedside.
