Whereabouts Is Kept Secret
10 Avoid Big Scandal.


New York. Aug. 1.-THE World this
Sunday morning prints page story to
the effect that the father Of John D.
Rockefeller, the Standard Oh King. is
still alive, and that his sons are keeping
his whereabouts secret suggesting as
reason for SO doing to avoid a big
scandal
After quoting DR.. Biggar's recent state
ment. made in Cleveland that John Z.
Rockefeller should "0ut-reeord his father,
now ninety-four," the World continues:
some time ago. Frank Rockefeller
John DIS youngest brother. in an inter
view. stated that his father was not only
alive. but in good health; that his where
a5outs were a secret. and that there were
grave reasons why this secret must not
now be divulged.
But Frank Rockefeller went further
He spoke of a time coming when he
would make public simultaneously the
true life history of his brother. John D.,
and the secret Of his fathers condition
and whereabouts.
Throughout the long interview, contain
ing denunciatiOns of John D. and hints
at mysterious reasons for. the concealmeni
Of their aged father, Frank Rockefeller
kept two ideas closely linked. One was
that hidden evil in the life Of John D.
was alone responsible for conditions that
made the aged father fugitive. dreadins
discovery.
Go ask John D. where our father is, -
that 1 dare him 10 answer"
In the next breath he added: But the
time will soon come when I can safely
speak. Then It will not be safe for John
D. Rockefeller to appear upon the streets
of any American city. He would be
stoned by the people. Nothing but flight
from the country into some foreign land
will save his life when the whole mon
strous truth Is known"
