CLEVELAND, Feb, 3.—The local tax commission to-day demanded of John D. Rockefeller that the oll king pay $12,690,000 taxes on his estimated $900,000,000 of personal property. Commissioners claim Rockefeller has just established hin legal residence in t. Cleveland under the new State tax law. The Ohio law stipulates that any person Js taxable for the full value of his personal property in the district where he has established legal rest- dence. Therefore commissioners claim the entire off king's colonsal fortune in subject to the Ohio tax, The total ta! am great as the entire duplicate of Cuyahoga County, in which Cleveland 1s located, John D. Fackler and William Ag- new, Deputy State Tax Collectors, estate just before noon to-day. Rockefeller refused to see them. ‘They left a written notice that his taxes are now payable, Rockefeller has five days in which to act, If he fale to pay, under the law he is subject to a 50 per cent, penalty, which equals a tax on §450,- 000,00 ur more property, ‘SWIMMING POOLS IN EVERY SCHOOL TROUBLE DUE TO ERROR And She Simply Couldn’t Un- derstand the Meaning of “Error” as He Did. Justice Delany in the Supreme Court to-day eatablished @ remark- able set of ri for the welfare of Dorothy, Charles and Thomas R. Frowert, the three children of Per- cival K. Frowert, a wealthy advertin- ing man and his actress-wife, Gene- vieve Frowert. The husband and wife have been estranged for several years, Mrs, Frowert sucd out a writ of ha- beas corpus for the children alleging that Frowert, acting under advice given him by a Christian @cience Bractitioner, had. kept the children from her, The conditions under which the children are to be taken care of are: Mrs. Frowert le to have the objidren brought to her at a place to be desig- nated by her once a week for three weeks in every month, on a week day after school or on a Sunday afternoon or Saturday morning or on a holiday. She must give her husband two days’ advance notice when she wishes to see the children. In July each year she ts to have the children in her sole care for two weeks, the husband to pay $30 for their care, If inconvenient for her to avail her- self of the privileges of secing the children she may substitute telephone calls, the children being permitt hold unlimited conversations with their mother. Mrs. Frowert must pot, however, subatit more than two such telephone catlp for an equal number of visits, She ts not to be molested by her husband or his agents during the time that her children are with her. The children must be permitted to accept gifts sent by their mother. If Mrs. Frowert is ill the children are to be nent to her, but not untib whe sends her husband a physician's certificate setting forth that the health of the children will not be en- dungered by such a visit. In commenting upon the rules Jus- tice Delany declares that he found the troubles of the Frowerts most difficult to deal with, The fact that he did not award the custody of the children to their mother instead of to the father is due to Mrs, Frowert's engagement on the stage. Had she forsaken the stage the children might have been given into her care, In reply to his wife's charge that he had been advised to exclude Mrs, Frowert from his home, as she was what Christian Scientists termed “er- ror,” Frowert says that his wife's un- derstanding of the meaning of the “The Chaat 4 vac of Tammany Treats With Contempt the Resolution of the National Democratic Club De- : manding That He Retire.
