WASN'T "THE" ROCKERFELLER.

John B. Sounded Like Something
Else When Bell Hop Called.

"Call for Mr. Rockerfeller!"

A bellhop at the Hotel Baltimore caused the guests in the lobby to drop their papers suddenly last night, and then when the bellhop repeated the call in a louder voice for "Mr. John B. Rockerfeller," a hundred eyes followed the boy until he located the owner of the name. But it wasn't the eminent oil magnate. It was a New York traveling salesman who is frequently annoyed when the bellhops call his name, and particularly the middle initial, in such a manner as to make it sound like John D. Rockerfeller.
