Pittsfieid. Mass, July 5.--After a search lasting nearly two weeks, in which representatives of the United States marshals of Chicago, Cleveland New York and Boston have been en- deavoring to serve upon John D. Rock efeller, head of the Standard oil company. a subpoena issued by Judge Landis of the federal court of Chica- 20. Mir. Rockefeller was located in this city Wednesday and personal service made upon him by Deputy United States Marshal Charles L.. rrink of North Adams
 Early in the day. Deputy Marshals Frink and James RuhI, the latter of Boston office, visited Taconic farm, but k. Parmalee Prentice told them that his father-in-law was not there. The officers professed to be satisfied with the statement and departed, re- marking that they had no search warrant which would permit them to go through the house. !,
 Deputy Ruhl boarded the train for Boston and Deputy Frink went to his home in North Adams, about 25 miles from this city. Later Deputy Frink decided to pay another visit to the farm and he returned to Pittsfield and secretly drove out there in the afternoon. He proceeded through the wooded driveway into the open space In front of the house and rec ognized Mir. Rockefeller sitting on the piazza. The deputy passed the subpoena to the oil man explaining at the same time that MT. Rockefel- ler"s presence in the federal court at Chicago on July 6 was needed.
 MT. Rockefeller accepted service with smile, shook hands with the deputy and expressed pleasure at meeting him. He invited the officer to sit on the piazza and rest, which invitation was accepted. Mir. Rocke- feller chatted for few moments, say ing that he had not intended to evade the officers, but that he did not know exactly what was desired of him.
 He referred to the newspaper sto- ries that have been printed about him recently and ridicuied the idea that he had been surrounded by armed guards or that the Taconic farm es- tate had been equipped with search light. n
 As the officer was leaving the house Mir, Rockefeller again shook hands with him, said he was glad to have met him and added:
 If you are over near my home l hope you will come and call on me;
 It is thought that MT Rockefeller was advised after the morning call of the officers that he had better accept service.
 It Is generally believed that MT, Rockefeller has been at Taconic farm since last Thursday night In reply to questions regarding MT. Rockefel- ier's presence at Taconic farm. MT. Prentice on Saturday said that MT. Rockefeller was not there and offered a reward of $50o00 to any one who could prove that his father-in-law was in Pittsfield.
 The federal court in Chicago de sires Mir. Rockefeller's presence so that he can be interrogated regarding the affairs of the Standard oil com. pany of Indiana against which pro caedings have been instituted by the authorities.
 Chicago. July 5.-News of the sub poena service on Mir. Rockefeller was received by District Attorney Sims Wednesday night. The information came out in telegram from United States Marshal Henkle of New York
 Including John D. Rockefeller, all witnesses have now been formally served with subpoenas and will be in Chicago Saturday to either answer
