New York, Nov. 21.--For over i've
hours Friday John D. Rockefeller, wit
ness for the defense in the govern
ment suit to dissolve the Standard OIL
company, faced an unceasing IRE Of
questions from the federal counsel,
Frank B. Kellogg, and when adjourn.
ment was taken until Monday. the
head Of the oil combine was still be.
ing cross-examined on the charges
that the company in It's early days &C
.cepted rebates to the disadvantage Of
its rivals. Mr.. Rockefeller's cross-ex'
animation will probably not be con.
Guided until late Tuesday, as Mr.. KEEL
logg made It known that he would
question Mr.. Rockefeller on every de-
tail Of the company's business.
The enormous earnings Of the oil
combination was sharply brought out
IN Fridays hearing when Mr.. Rookie
Teller after stating that the Standard
had paid dividends amounting to S4Os
100000 In 1907, said II had earned a
much more and that this was added to
the company's surplus, which was
stated by the governments counsel to
be s3OOOOO,OOO. It was further de-
ciared by Mr.. Kellogg that the com
many within the last eight years had
earned nearly half billion dollars.
The course Of Mr.. Rockefeller's tes-
timony in the hands Of government
counsel ran not so smoothly as Thurs
day when he told his story under the
direction of friendly counsel, but the
rapid IRE interrogations Of the prose
cutor were always met with mistaken
imperturbability and readiness to an
swer, except when, as he explained:
ut is quite impossible for me to re-
member after IS years. l do not re-
call"
Mr., Rockefeller was questioned
closely regarding rebates, which the
Standard was charged with receiving.
hut with the exception Of the agree
ment with the Pennsylvania railroad,
which Mr., Rockefeller explained gave
the Standard rebate because 1t ef-
fected an equalization Of oil ship
ments. Mr.. Rockefeller could not re-
call any other rebate, though ne
thought It was likely that he might
have heard OF It at the time.

company when he learned that the
government counsel would not be able
