Inesmuch as the subpoena issued hy
Judge lands and sent TO the Ohio ma
shall did not reacn Cleveland Until mid
night no word ~as had from that Of
ficer. But there was an unofficial re-
port that the only members Of the Rock
efeller family domiciled at the summer
humc six miles from Cleveland were
John d RoC-efeIIe-- jr-, and his mother.
Detectives Searching Hard.
Detectives and officers in New Jersey,
New York, 8Iassa chusetts. ard Ohio are
searching Tor AIr- Rockefeller with IN
usiug energy.
Meantime Judge Lands grows more
eager for Mr. ROckefener's presence in
his court H. talked with District At
torney sim today and Impressed upon
that Cfncer The Necessity ~ having The
Standard Oh magnate in Chicago next
Saturday. Mr.. sim assured Judge Ian

Marshal HinkcIs telegram was received
This morning Mr.. Sim thought il might

If some marshal locates him and
serves him with a subpoena" he said,
'it is possible that ne might go before
another judge on a writ OF habea>

Office Open Day and Night.
Mr.. Sim keeps some one at his Office
on the eighth floor OF the Federal build
ing day and night that kilograms may
be opened and their contents telephOned
him at his residence. The moment he
gets word that Ar Rockefeller has been
subpoenaed. Mr.. Sim viii take the first
train where he is. that he may be on
the spot 10 combat any legal move made
70 defeat the ends sought 10y Judge
Lands.
Il want AR Rockefeller here" was
the only comment judge Lands would
make today. The Government is as
strong, I think, as the Standard OIL
Company. and ! am sure some one Of
its Officers viii be able 20 bring its
president into court.
II was semi-odicialIy announced in
the Federal court building late this
afternoon that Judge lands might be
satisfied with either the treasurer, H
NJ Tuford. or the secretary. - N.
Pratt, that is. il either would say on
oath that the standard Oh Company
Of Indiana belonged TO the Standard
oil Company Of New Jersey. But Mr..
Tilford. with II. H Rogers. is IN Europe.
AS for AR Pratt, he seems as hard to
find as Mr.. Rockefeller
Lands Wants Rockefeller.
Judge Lands assumes that the infor-
nation he wants can be Ead only from
one o. three chief oficers-the presi-
dent, secretary, and treasurer. Mr..
Rockefeller is president and he knows.
or should know. according TO the court.
more about the company's finances than
any other person. For that reason he
wants AR. Rockefeller. Either Mr..
Pratt or Mr.. Rockefeller must come II
only Air. Pratt should appear and then
say that the Standard OF Of Indiana is
not the Standard Oil Of New Jersey
that win not be sufficient.
II IS incimated further that II Mr.
Rockefeller refuses 20 come and the
information concerning proprietorship is
secured. then Judge Lands w-n as
penalty for Mr.. RockefeHer's disregard
Of a Federal court. fne the Standard
oil Company the fun penalty permitted
By law This sum Is S29,60o,c00. Il IS
not believed that the court will take
advantage OF the fun power of the
statutes should Mr. Rockefeller testify.
II is quite probable that the law would
be satisfied with fine OF S7,50O00O. How
ever, all this Is speculation.
Following Federal Policy.
II was said at the Federal building to-
day that the local government officials
are following out the desire OF the ma
tional administration 10 bring Rookie
Teller 10 the witness stand. where the
financial secrets and inner workings OF
the giant corporation may be had. Ac-
cording 10 some statements. Judge Ian
dis Is in reality aiding President ROOse-
velt's trust investigation policy
