that Mr.. Rockefeller, although president
of the Standard Oil company of Indiana,
vas not possessed of the information re-
garding the financial condition of the
court He also informed the court that
Mr.. Rockefeller was an old man who had
many business cares and that no advan-
tage could be had to any person by bring
ing him into the court.
The appeal of the attorney did not ap-
fused to recall the subpoena and In addi-
tion directed that subpoenas be issued for
the vice president and secretary treasurer

said Mr. Rockefeller had so little to do

tinction between either a wealthy or q
poor man. 1 want Mr. Rockefeller 70

other things he may be able to tell, The
subpoenas win be served and will not
interfere with the serving of them"

also be issued for H. r. Payne, vice presi
dent of the Union Tank line, and for w.
