Rockefeller Located.

John D. Rockefeller, for four months
fugitive from process servers, has
been located in his home at Lake
wood, N. j. He was in conference to-
day with his personal counsel, S. c..
T. Dodd, former general counsel for
the Standard Oil Company.
Dodd came to Lakewood yesterday
and at once went to the Rockefeller
house. He spent the afternoon there
and was again in consultation with
Mr.. Rockefeller today. 1t is understood
the conference referred to the hear
ing in the suits brought against the
Standard Oil company by the state OF
Missouri, which will be resumed In
FIVE days. Mr.. Rockefeller is practi
cally a prisoner in his home. His es
tate is patrolled night and day by
armed guards, who have orders tc
shoot any one found on the grounds
after dark.
Searchlights mounted on tower
sweep the place all night. One reason
assigned for such extraordinary pre-
cautions is that the richest man II
the world is in constant dread of kid
napers; he fears he will be taken cap
tive for ransom. Mr.. Rockefeller ha'
resigned his office as trustee in tn
Fifth Avenue Baptist church. Th'
reason given is poor health.
