Light Is Shed on
Appointment of
Aleshire

No army appointment since the
famous boost of General Leonard
Wood has created such sensa-
ton in military circles, from the
Atlantic ITO the Pacific, as that of
Major James B. Aleshire to be
quartermaster general, after it had
become common knowledge that
Major Carroll A. Devol was to
have the place. Devol was To-
Gated at San Francisco as head of
the transport service for nearly
FIVE years, and while here became
a close friend of E., H. Hartman.
1t was the recommendation of
Hartman that induced President
Roosevelt to order the place re-
served for Devol, but with the
fall OF Hartman from presidential
grace the chances Of DevoI were COM
pletely shattered
It had been planned that upon the
retirement Of Quartermaster Charles
F. Humphrey Devol was to step In. but
with the premature withdrawal of
Humphrey from active service this
week, Aleshire has been promoted over
15 of his superiors and given what is
regarded as one of the biggest plums
In the service.
Devops services in San Francisco
won the consistent praise of the Wash

iastic encomiums at the time of the fire

Oil Case

PITTSFIELD, Mass, July 3.-After
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 John D. Rockefeller,
head of the Standard oil company, a
subpoena issued by Judge lands of the
federal court OF Chicago, Rockefeller
was located in this city today and per-
sonal service made upon him by Deputy
United States Marshal Charles L. Frank
of North Adams.
After accepting service Rockefeller
explained that he had not been endeav-
oring to dodge service, but that he did
not know exactly what was wanted of
him.
Early in the day Deputy Marshals
Frank and James Ruhl, the latter of
the Boston Office. visited Taconic farm,
but E. Parmalee Prentice told them that
his father In law was not there. The
officers professed to be satisfied with

that they had no search warrant which

Deputy Ruhl boarded the train for
Boston and Deputy Frank went to his
home in North Adams. about 25 miles
from this city. Later Deputy Frank
decided to pay another visit to the
farm, and he returned to Pittsfield and
secretly drove out there in the after
noon. He proceeded through the wood
ed driveway into the open space in
front of the house and recognized
Rockefeller sitting on the piazza. The
deputy passed the subpoena to the oil
man, explaining at the same time that
Rockefeller's presence in the federal
court at Chicago on July 6 was needed.
Rockefeller accepted service with a
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.
Rockefeller chatted for few moments
saying that he had not intended to
evade the officer, but that he did not
know exactly what was desired of him.
He referred to the newspaper stories
that have been printed about him re-
Gently and ridiculed the idea that he
had been surrounded by armed guards
or that the Taconic farm estate had
been equipped with searchlight.
AS the officer was leaving the house
Rockefeller again shook hands with
him. said he was glad to have met him
and added: -.If you are ever near my
home hope you will come and call on
