money he ever earned was a few cents
from his father for putting up fence

money he put in the bank. He was not
content to let the money lie idle. Even
as a child the accommodating instinct

the spirit pleased the old gentleman.
The money was invested and the

ROCKEFELLER, JR large portion, either
through disappointment or calls else
where, soon leave, and thus the
class Is the loser There are young
men In the class from almost ev-
cry State IN the Union; some have
come to study medicine and law, others
to work One of them, young man
from Nevada, who is studying engi-
neering at Columbia university, says
that the welcome given him, a total
stranger, when he entered the class
one Sunday morning soon after his ar
rival in the city. cured him of his home
sickness and gave him courage to re
main and finish his three years of
study.
Mr.. Rockefeller never tires of preach
ing to the young men on the desirable
ity of socability and sincere friend
ship. Any one coming to the class is
met at the door by either Mr.. Troxell,
the president, DR.. Foote, the vice pres
tdent or one Of the other officers, and
receives a handshake and a welcome
whose sincerity cannot be mistaken.
He Is ushered to a seat, introduced
to the young man sitting next to him,
and after the session is led put into the
adjoining room and introduced to Mr..
Rockefeller. who spends some time aft

the members. To a stranger all this Is
n revelation in a city where he at first
sees so little sociability about him.
Mr.. Rockefeller receives many re-
quests for assistance and Is perfectly
aware that there are those who join
the class merely for what they can get
out of it, but his reading Of human ma
ture Is such that he can easily pick the
sincere from the insincere, and those
who come for merely selfish purposes
seldom achieve their ends. Mr.. Rookie
Teller assists great many who he
thinks need it, and this he does quietly
and sincerely.

has known what it is to work with his

AFTER OWNERS OF
STANDARD OIL.
Attorney General Moody Is to Make
Notable Valedictory Under the
Sherman Act.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. 27.-At
torney General Moody is about to bring
proceedings against the prominent mem
bers OF the Standard Oil company under
the terms of the Sherman antitrust law,
which provides penalties of fine or inn
prisonment for persons guilty Of its vio
lation.
This action. which will be the most
notable OF any ever undertaken by the
government against a commercial organ
ization, will be Mr. Moody's valedictory
to the cabinet. For the trust prosecut
ing services he already has rendered
President Roosevelt has decided to ap
point him to the supreme bench. The
fight against the oil octopus will devolve
upon Charles ]. Bonaparte, now secre-
tary OF the navy, but who has been fixed
upon as the next attorney general.
After Rogers and Archibold
The decision promptly to inaugurate
this prosecution is the fruit of frequent
conferences between the President, At
torney General Moody and the cabinet
on one hand and Attorney General
Moody, his assistant. Milton d. Purdy,
and the special counsel engaged for this
case E. B. Kellogg and G. B. Morrison
1t is impossible to draw from the de-
partment of justice here the names of
those members OF Standard Oil against
whom the initial proceedings will be
launched. 1t is known, however, that
they will be aimed especially at those
men who have been identified with the
company through the thirty-five years of
its steady development, like Henry III.
Rogers and John d. Archibold.
Rockefeller Wasn't Bothered.
While the criminal side of the Sher-
man law is drastic, and while the jail
ing of men convicted under it would be
claimed as a great victory by the adj
ministratiOn, the civil side of the law
is of extreme Importance. That vests
the circuit courts with power to prevent
and restrain violations of this actin
brief, to dissolve the Standard Oil COM
pany should it be convicted of violation
of the statute.
Soon after the government began de-
sultory rebate prosecution against the
Standard Oil company, Attorney General
Moody practically admitted there was no
expectation of convicting any officer of
great consequence in the company. In
July it was unOficially admitted that it
would be better to let John ID. Rookie
Teller go free and to dissolve the corpo-
ration, restoring its component parts to
the active rivalry, which they engaged
in thirty years ago, than to send Mr..
Rockefeller to prison and let the Stand
ard go on maintaining the monopoly now
alleged against it.
