ATTY. JEROME
Denies That Pardon Will
Be Given Rothschild.
He Admits Having Received
Confession However.
Latter Appears Before Grand Jury
With Evidence.

New York, April 6.-An investigation,
which is believed TO BE- Of more than
oi binary Importance. was begun by the
grand jury, toiay. That it has to do
with a story told by David Rothschild,
lie former president of the Federal
Bank Of this city, who now is serving
n term in Sing Sing prison for fraud
ulrnt transactions in connection with
tie. bank, seems apparent. Rothschild
has been in this city for several days
in the custody of the warden of the
TGmbs prison. Since he was brought
from Sing Sing ut the request of the
district attorney be frequently has beer
in consultation with MIR. Jerome and
Assistant District Attorney Kresch
and it has been reported that he has
made confession which was put in
the form OF an affidavit and taken to
Albany by Mr.. jerome and Mr.. Kresch
o'iaT Rothschil! was taken before the
grand jury and as a result of what
TRANSFERRED NJ Albany, yesterday, sew
eral other persons also appeared be-
fore the jury in connection with the
investigation.
1t developed during the afternoon
that the grand jury was investigating
an accusation made by Rothschild
against a prominent attorney and poll
tlcian who at one time acted FOR Rotts-
child. According to Rothschid, q sum
of money given by him to the lawyer
has not been disposed Of according to
the instructions with which it was
handed over.
Abraham Gruber. attorney for the
man mentioned by Rothschild, was n
witness before the grand jury. this ar
ternoon. and later said that Rothschild
had made two statements. One of
these implicated the lawyer concerned,
but the other did not. Much mystery
was made of the case and it could
not be learned whether Rothschild had
testified.
Abraham Gruber in his statement
said:
This is a job On the part of the dis
trict attorney to impicate my client.
Armitage Matthews. l understand the
confession of Rothschild in the posses
sion of the district attorney is at va
rance with Il confession in my pos
session. The investigation Of the grand
jury is looking. in substance, into why
there should be two different confess
siOnS."
Armitage Matthews is secretary of
the county Republican committee.
District Attorney Jerome said, this
afternoon:
ANY statement that this office has
promised pardon 20 Rotfsc1ild is UNI
euuivocally false. What was done was
this: He was seen in Sing Sing and
there he was told that if he made
statement that would be of service in
Il case about to be presented to the
grand jury and then if a pardon was
asked for him the facts to what he
may nave given in evidence would be
terrified to the governor.
Referring to the confession which.
Mr.. Gruber claimed to have in his pos
session and which he says differed
somewhat from that in the possession
of the district attorney Mr.. jerome
said:
Il do not know what difference there
is between these two confessions. but
do know | am in possession of one
made by Rothsch:ld in Sing Sing prison
and which was turned over TO Gruber.'

Maid were not discriminatory. They
were paid to all shippers who shipped
exclusively by rail. It was Impossible
for any shipper to know with certainty
that rates his competitors we're paying
The Standard often found that its COM
petitors had been paying less rates
than it paid. Furthermore. the public
obtained the advantage Of the low
rates received. A reduced price for re-
fined oil kept pace with reduction in
rates whether this reduction was by
way of rebates or otherwise. And the
price at (which the public for many
years has been obtaining oil would
simply have been impossible, had not
shippers forced the railways to reduce
their rates, which they did first by re-
bates and later by open schedule.
The system of rebates has happily
received the condemnation of law. Tbs
Standard welcomed the change as q
beneficial one. But to say now that il
should not have obtained the best rates
under the old system which it's position
enabled it to obtain is all Impossible
counsel of perfection.
1.-The evidence before the Industrial
commission shows very clearly to any
unpre JUDGED mind that since the en-
actment of the interest ate commerce la"
the Standard has obeyel it in every
particular. The evidence Of the Stahu
ard managers and freight agents was
corroborated by the certificates Oh
managers and freight agents or all tiie
leading railways of the United States
to the effect that by no rebates. dr.
rangemerts. devices or plans Oh any
character had the Standard received
less rates than other shippers.
1T is true. that allegations 10 the
contrary were made before the COM
mission: but these were founded upon
surnise and We're not sustained by
prOof Neither did the commission nnd
them to be true. Any candid man VINO
will read the evidence 1nust be salts
fed of the truth Of the facts sworn
TO nv the Standard Oil Co. corroborateI
as they are by the officers and agents
of the railroads themselves.
Those who contend that the Stand
ard has been built up by means of rail-
way determinations. wiifully shut their
ewes to the real causes of the stand
ards success, and ara POOR students OF
the problem of modern Industrial COM
binatiOns.
IF this, the only specific allegation
made against John ID. Rockefeller IS
proven to be false, it should make the
public, and particularly the religious
public. more careful and charitable IN
it's allegations"
