JOHN D. ON STAND
RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD
MEEK BEFORE JUDGE.
AN UNSATISFACTORY WITNESS
Says His Position as Head of the
Standard Oil Company Is a
Purely Honorary One.

Chicago, July 7.-Never before has
a United States court presented such

sands OF people attempted to pass
the guards and enter Judge Landis'
court room.
Long before the hour set for OPEN
ing court the throng gathered, and
the deputy marshals and police were
unable to preserve order. Reinforce
ments were sent for, ana upon the
arrival of the additional officers the
crowd was held in check and pass
age way cleared for John ID. Rookie
Teller when he arrived.
There was an undercurrent of fear
that some crank might attempt to as
sault the oil king, and every precau-
ton was taken to protect him, but,
though the curious ones damned in
close to him and fell in behind him,
there was no unfriendly demonstra-
ton, and the investigation passed off
rapidly with good order in the court
room, though the crowd In the hall
way was restless and frequently fore
ed the officers back step by step.
Mr.. Rockefeller was calm and digni-
fed througout. Once he attempted to
leave the room, but his way was bar
red by an officer, and, without pro-
test, the Millionaire returned to his
seat and remained until Judge Lands
had finished the hearing and retired.
The inquiry was into the financial
condition of the Standard Oil COM
pany for the purpose of determining
the amount of fines to be imposed for
violation of the laws governing
freight rates and rebating
Mr.. Rockefeller gave but little in
formation, declaring that the position
he held in the Standard Oil company
was merely honorary and that he had
had nothing to do with the business
of the company for eight of ten years.

They agree also that Japan asks moth.

that the difficulty lies IN the question
