 T cannot talk about that now" he said.
 Mir Rockefeller made the same re- ply to a question whether there is any truth in a report that he has taken no active parts in the affairs of the Standard Oil Company for twelve years. When asked how he liked France he said that he could not compare 1t to America at all After posing for his photograph ,at the request of a reporter and greet ing several friends, MT Rockefeller accompanied by Mrs. Rockefeller and his son, left the steamship dock in an automobile.
 MT. Rockefeller appeared to be in excellent health and spirits. He said he had enjoyed his stay in France to the fullest extent. but that he was very glad to get back home again.

After a few minutes chat with his son, John D.. IT,. on one side and Dr. Biggar on the other, the Stand ard oil magnate proceeded down the gang plank and off the pier. followed By a crowd of several hundred per- sons who were awaiting to get sight of him. On the way out Mir. Rocke- feller met several men and women he knew and stopped, shook hands and ex- changed a word or two. When he reached the end of the wharf. at the earnest importunities of young man with a camera, MT. Rockefeller barred his head to the hot sunshine and posed for a photograph. smiling good natured- ly all the while.
 DO you consider yourself directly or indirectly responsible for any viola tions on the part of the Standard OH Company of the anti-trust laws?" Mir Rockefeller was asked as he entered an automobile for the trip over New York.
 Please excuse me from saying any thing In thts direction" he replied with broad smile.
 As Mir. Rockefeller was leaving in the automobile with his wife and son pr. Biggar shook hands with him and they expressed the hope that they would see each other In day or two.
