Rockefeller, died suddenly at Ws liomeV 3 KEat; Seventy-eighth street,, shortly after. 7 o'clock a. m Mr. Rogers had not been in thehest of health for the, past two "years, but he could always attend to his busi ness. ' - '."" . - - y Mr Rogers 'had eipected to go to his office as usual, and he got up in themorning.at 6 oclock;. as was his custom. He- had dressed and was about to leave his room when he be gan to complain of rOimbness and nausea. In .the presence of several members of his family he sank to the floor. - He was lifted to a' couch, in his room and there everything possible tp easto hhn. and his own and other physicians were sent for. But neidied at once. By the time the first physician had reached the house ne had been dead ten minutes. Tho HENHY H. .octors think that he was a victim nr beart disease. The millionaire had come in from his country home at Falrhaven, Mass., and the outing had seemed to do him good. When he appeared at his office he was ' apparently in eood health. He had not even complained of feel- jug m. Few men have been mors nrnmin. ent in the business life of this coun try than Henry Huddleston Rogers. Sixtyrnlne years old at the time of hia death, he was the vice-president and director of the Standard Oil Corpora tion, which very lareelv owned lta - istence to, his keen Intellect. For full half a century he had been an active factor in the commercial life-of this country, and the effect of his sudden death will be felt on both aides of the ocean. A director in twenty-five or more corporations, he was a heavy stock. holder In a score of others, in which ms geniua for supervision was always relied on. In more recent years ha has devoted himself almost entirely ALL EUROPE -a& in i ; i- financial Reaction Against Fourteen Timidity. London. Optimism, the real thing. which Is willing to back' Itself heav- ly, reigns in Europe this week. Even the gsoans of the budget victims and the lurid threats of the French strik ers are unable to suppress or discour age it. ' . The truth-is that pessimism has exhausted itself and that reaction was bound to come. Long years of politi cal crises and sociological upheavals have lost, for the time being at least, their power to hold financial and commercial enterprise In check. . The . result is that, after fourteen years of steady depression; the Lon don. Stock Exchange and -tho Conti nental bourses also have witnessed a genuine boom within the last few days suclTas has been unknown since 1895, - " ' . This sudden return of public confi dence is largely a psychological move ment. There is more idle capital in England to-day fhan perhaps ever in Prison and the Stage Lure. About the time Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., was getting accustomed to his cell in Sing Sing, N. Y., Mrs. Annis, widow of the map he killed; signed a contract to appear on. the -vaudeville stage. , - ..s.:-.-r? f j - : 1 " - Wheat $l.SO In Chicago. - May wheat 'eclipsed all records of -the Patten deal with a price of $1.30 r at -i Chicago. - This price was half a -cent above the record f two weeks ago. . --T o .-.- io tne- construction' of his tidewater Tailroad,' which le had -planned as an idurfng'monumenttor himself. Re cently he, 'took a steamship load.' of friends to Norfolk to witness the cer emonies attendant 'upon the opening ot that road to "traffic. At the timo he looked; as sturdy "as though anoth er half century ;might be his' portion No.o'nie suspected.rthat his time was nearly Iat an end:although-it had been known" that he has not been in good health for some years past..- The extent of 'M. Rogers fortund is unknown eyento close ; friends. The Best estimate placed itfrom 40,000,000 toJ60,600.000.i Atrlfle more t;han. two years ago he' was re puted to have $100000,000. In the silent -panics ot March, 1907, which laid the foundation for. the- great panic the following'October. he was the heaviest Indlfidual sufferer. His losses at that timswere figured 'at from 130.0 00,00 0 $ 50,000,000. --Rlvar'financiersvnejpany, believed to have beencaptain6d by J Plerpont Morgan, who had been camping on hi3 trail for years, gave him no .mercy in the spring of 1907: - vDozens of times Mr. Ro&prs hsA I done the same things to others, grind- o . suwi o.uu -1 tuil 111 1113 money-making machines, but It was a crushing blow when he was caught himself. ' , - . - - He ne7er got over It. . The worry and anxiety brought on the stroke of apoplexy from which he suffered in the summer of 1907 and after that he wa3 never again the same resolute, lighting, aggressive Rogers. He ceased speculating,' avoiding financial combats and devoted' himself to putting his affairs into quiet, con servative channels. Rogers has been credited with be .g, more of a factor in the success of Standard Oil than Rockefeller him self. He ha'd .the imagination to see tha tremendous possibilities lin the future of oil, and he frequently forced KOlxEHS. P.pckefeller to overcome instinctlvi caution and embark upon wide exten sions of the business. Besides, Rogers had complete knowledge of the intricacies of. tha business, and was gifted with execu tive genius. He proved himself a master mind in-organization. Before long he became a. trustee of. Standard Oil, then ho rose to be vice-president, and in the early .'90s he was president of th9 company. By the death of his father H. H. Rogers, Jr., becomes a man of conse quence in thu world of finance. just now important this position will be depends largely upon the terms of his father's will, if the elder Rogers left an" estate of $50, 000,000 and has bequeathed the bulk of it to his only son, young Rogera will have many responsibilities thrust upon his shoulders in addition to the great wealth. Young Rogers is twentynine yea'ra old. He was graduated from Colum bia College in 19 OU but a year before was married to.Miss,Mary Benjamin, IS OPTIMISTIC. Years of its history, it is - widely dispersed, chiefly among the middle classes, who have been waiting for yearsTfor con ditions that make investments attrac tive. - Their patience is now exhaust ed, and the use to which their sav ings are being put are significant. American stocks, however, are finding many purchasers, but the pop ular idea seems to be that reorgan ized South Africa .offers sounder eco nomic conditions and better opportu nities than any other market. Tho leaders, of finance are 6T the same mind as the public regarding the gen eral situation. - - Thechief factor, of course, is easy money, which seems likely to con tinue.
