G.DARNEILLE
I
40 FT.
Well Known Medford Man and
Trusted Lineman of California-Oregon
Power Co.
Instantly Kilted at Corner of
Central and Jackson Streets
Hand Slipped From Pole.
Grover Darneille, 35 yoars of age,
and one of the oldest linemen for the
California-Oregon Power company,
from a standpoint of service, was
killed instantly this morning at 8:10
o'clock when he fell 40 feet from a
pole at the corner of North Central
and Jackson streets.
Work on the new pole was Just
complete, all the lines having been
fastened to the insulators and Dar
neille had just unsnapped his safety
belt preparatory to coming down the
pole. He had hold of tho pole with
one hand and was about to attach
the loose end of the safety belt to
his belt. In order to do this it is
necessary to change the hold on the
pole from one hand to the other. Just
before changing his grip, his hand
slipped and his climbers held fast.
Ho was leaning from tho polo and as
his feet were held in a stationary po
sition by the climbers, ho fell head
first, his feet remaining stationary
until his head had reached a lower
level and had pulled the spikes of the
climbers from their seat in the
wooden pole.
Killed Instantly.
Ho struck' the cement sidewalk on
Central Ave., 40 feet below heud first
and wus killed instantly. The fellow
workers on Frank Stinson's crew
rushed to his aid, but nothing could
bo done. One man was coming down
the pole at the time of the fall and
Darneille fell past him while another
of his fellow workers was close to the
base of the pole and took several
quick steps in an effort to catch him
before he struck the ground.
A brace used for boring holes for
bolts wus lying on tho sidewalk and
was hit squarely by the back of Dar
nille's head. The wooden ' handle,
which one grasps in order to turn the
hrace, was smashed completly by the
impact. -
Leaves Wife, 2 Children.
No lines closer than 20 feet to
Darnolllo were carrying a charge of
electricity and the accident Is there
fore not attributed in any way to an
electric shock. Darneille was one of
tho company's best linemen and had
been climbing poled for years.
The work was being done early in
the morning In order to inconven
lence none of the . persons whose
power was cut off and the new pole
was set in order to allow the north
west street corner of Central to be
cut off so that the Intersection might
be enlarged.

W. ROCKEFELLER
OF
.S.
Brother, of John D- Passes
After Short Illness In Pub
lic Eye During Money Trust
Probe Death Will Have No
Effect On Stock Market.
TARRYTOWNvN.' Y.,- June 24. (By
Associated Press). William Rockefel
ler, oil. magnate and brother of John D:
Rockefeller, died here today from
pneumonia,' shortly before 7 o'clock.
Mr. Rockefeller had been ill at his
home, Rockwood Hall, In north Tarry
town since Sunday but word of his
condition was not made public.
Five doctors, under the charge of
Mr. Rockefeller's personal physician,
Dr. W. J. Robertson, were In atten
dance when the end came.
Practically tlfe entire Rockefeller
family was assembled at the death
bed.
Mr. Rockefeller, who contracted a
heavy cold during the rains of the last
week-end, had just completed building
$250,000 mmauseoleum in the Sleepy
Hollow cemetery, according to his own
plans and under his personal direction.
Mr. Rockefoller, who was 81 years
old had not recently been active In
business, although he was active head
of the Standard Oil company of New
York from its establishment in 1865,
until 1911. Although somewhat over
shadowed by his elder brotlfer, John D.
Rockefeller, William was one of the
richest men in America.
Almost the only time when his actlv-
itics claimed much newspaper space
was in 1912 and 1913. when tho con
gressional committee investigating the
"money trust" combed the country for
him as a witness. He was finally lo
cated at Nassau, Bahama Islands and
returned to Florida. When an effort
was made to question him in his cot
tage there, he was caught with such
spasms of coughing that the commit
tee was warned by his physicians that
it might cause his death if the exami
nation was continued. It then was ad
mitted that he was suffering from can
cer of the throat.
Although he retained many of his
directorships, Mr. Rockefeller of late
years shifted much of his business
responsibility to the shoulders of his
son, Percy. .
None of his Wall street associates
have ventured an estimate of his for
tune, hut it was generally believed
that he had between $100,000,000 and
$250,000,000, concentrated in various
Standard Oil' companies, Anaconda
Copper, Consolidated Gas, Brooklyn,
Union Gas, St. Paul and National City
Bank.
A friend recently stated that Mr.
Rockefeller's death, when It came
should have no appreciable effect on
the stock market, as none of his hold
ings would be tossed on the open mar
ket. Announcement of his death was re
ceived in Wall street nearly an hour
before the market opened.
Mr. Rockefeller returned to his home
last Thursday after a visit with his
brother to the farm on which they
were born at RIchford, in Tioga coun
ty.
Friday Mr. Rockefeller complained
of not feeling well, but the following
day he Insisted on going out and was
drenched In a heavy shower. Sunday
his cold gave his family concern, and
pneumonia quickly set in. During tho
week relatives were summoned.
Mr. Rockefeller began to sink rap

WASHINGTON, June 24. Tho
southern Illinois disorders were held
up by Senator Myers, democrat of
Montana, in the' senate today as
"proof" that there is no free Amer
ica and a justification for the asser
tion that there cap be "no free Amer
ica so long as American citizens can
not work where, when, and for whom
and at whatever price they, choose
without seeking (be consent of. an In
visible goverumeiAr an organized mi
nority." The Montana senator read, to the
senate news dispatches recounting de
tails of the disorders In the Herrin
district,, declaring them to be "more
horrible than those committed by the
Germans during the war, atrocities
which men stood here oh this, floor
and condemned in the most vigorous
fashion." .
He asserted that most of the vic
tims of the massacre were men "guil
ty only of the crime of exercising their
constitutional right of earning an
honest day's wage."
"We call this free America," he con
tinued, "and as free American citi
zens those imen were attempting to
sell what they had to dispose of, their
labor. '
"They found men who wanted to
buy that labor. The price was ar
ranged. Tho men went to work.
They have a constitutional right tb
bo protected in that work. Tholr em
ployers have the right to be protocted
in hiring them."
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
declared that conditions should be
taken into account. Mine operators,
he said, should have known by ex
perience what the results of other at
tempts to use strikebreakers have
been but added that even as strike
breakers the workers had the right of
protection.
