The ban has bwn placel on gambling at Camp Glenn. General Young ha issued an order forbidding dice and card games. "There are men in the eanrp, whom I believe, came here for the purjse of gambling. They started games and other men joined in and lost money, thereby causing discontent. Such practices in this camp must' stop immediately," -concluded the brigade commander in speaking to the oflicers of the First Regiment. i Bath'ng in Bogue Sound, upon i whose. banks the camp is pitched, has been prohibited by an order by Col. Gardner. It was discovered that the water was olluted by a fish factory just above camp and the order im mediately followed. Bathing in the sound has been a popular pastime with the soldiers and, following, the recall from drill, scores daily, took a dlp.i .Although this privilege wfll be missed, new bath houses, equipped with showers, provide ample facilities, for the men and, also, they at times have the opportunity of crossing the sound to the surf. ; The brigade i parade yesterday, the second since the troops arrived was a pronounced success, according to military men.

Tlrce fuartcri of a million dollars would be a fair val uation, in his opinion, and he might be willing to boost it a few notches higher in order to avo'd any contro versy over the matter. But when the assessor places the valuation at $1, :rjl00, an incrca? of nearly half a million dollars over last year, Mr. Rockefeller thinks it is time to utter vigorous protest. And when protects are unavailing to picvent such matters Mr. Rocke feller has the habit of invoking the law in an effort to prevent the col lection of what he declares to be ex orbitant taxes. Last Octo'ber he ob tained an injunction in th United States District Court in Cleveland preventing the enforcement of tax collections on his Cuyahoga county holdings,, which the authorities rated at, more" than three hundred million dollars. Cuvabora county filed an appeal against the injunction in the United j States Circuit Court and has since! been bus'Jv at work endeavoring to obtain evidence to prove that Mr. Rockefeller is a legal resident of Cleveland. It is rumored that the legal repre sentatives of Cuyahoga county are preparing to spring a surprise when the case comes up for hearing in tne Circuit Court this fall. In thesr pos sess'on, so it is said, is a duplicate of a balance sheet compiled on the occa sion of Mr. Rockefeller's seventy- seventh birthday, on July: 9 Ut, which is alleged to show that his private fortune, exclusive of endow ment fundsjand other benefactions, exceeds a billion dollars, whicb means that Mr. Rockefeller s wealth cxceedi that of any iher man in the world, and, indeed, in the hisjpry of the world. Of the enormous total nearly $500, 000,000 is said to represent-Mr. Rock efeller's holdings in tb various Standard Oil companies and their sub sidiaries. He holds approximately 347,902 shares out of a total of 8S3r 383 shares issued in all the compan ies. The stock is now quoted around $1,700, about three times -what it"wai before the Federal Courts issued an order dissolving the great corporation into independent companies. The remainder of Mr. Rockefel ler's fortune, it is understood, is shovfn to be in enormous holdings in various railway and. banking corpora tions, the United Sfates Steel Corpor- ation, and in national, municipal, Ilalua .
