New York, Nov. 1S.-News of the
death in Sing Sing prison of David
Rothschild, former president of the
Federal bank of this city, received here
today, renewed interest in the most re-
markable instance of high finance
that ever occurred here.
The Federal bank was closed by the
banking department in 1904, at
which latter time Rothschild
was charged with misappropriating
100000 of the banks funds. At that
time the Globe Security company, an
other of Rothschild's concerns. also
failed Hundreds of small investors in
Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio
and Missouri bought bonds of the
Globe, under promise of high rates
of interest, and these lost practically
all their money.
The Federal bank did business with
small merchants and manufacturers
on the east side of New York and its
failure ruined many of them.

Rockefeller Appears as Witness
in Suit Brought By Gov

"DETAILS GROWTH OF STANDARD
Outlines the History Of the Great Trust
From Its nception-Absorpton and
Consolidation the General Policy Of
Its Promoters-old- Time Partners Of
the RockefeIIers.

New York, Nov. 18.-John D. Rookie
feller, at o'clock this afternoon, went
on the witness stand for the company,
in the governments suit to dissolve
the Standard Oil company.
Ex-Judge Franklin Ferris, master OF
proceedings, had ordered that no spec
tators be permitted to enter the cham
ber, and policemen turned back the in
sistent throng that besieged the room
where the testimony was taken. Rock
efeller gave his testimony in a clear.
resonant voice, which could be heard
all over the court room. After answer
ing several questions as to his name,
residence, ETC., Rockefeller said his first
connection in the oil business began
about 1860 or 1852, when he became as
ISOLATED with Morris, James and Rich
ard Clark and Samuel Andrews in a
partnership known as Andrews,
Clark & Co. The refinery was a small
one and was operated at Cleveland.
The co-pantnership was dissolved In
1865, when witness bought out the bus
mess, reorganizing it under the firm
of Rockefeller & Andrews.
In 1866 William Rockefeller, witness
brother, was taken in the company,
and the name was changed to William
Rockefeller & Co. Rockefeller said the
refinery of this company was at Cleve-
land and that afterwards another COM
pany under the same name was organ
ized in New York. The same firm mem
.bers that composed the Cleveland COM
pany made up the New York company.
Asked what had been the course of the
oil business up to the time of the or
ganization of the Standard Oil COM
pany of Ohio, Rockefeller replied:
I'VE had had a steady growth and
increase from the organization of the
first firm until that time"
Rockefeller said that every member
of the firm devoted his entire time and
attention to promoting the company's
growth and that none Of them had any
other business.
ssWhen did the next change take
place.
'In 1867 all the properties of Rocke-
feller & Andrews, William Rockefeller
& Co., and Rockefeller & Co, were taxi
en- over under the firm name OF Rock
efeller. Andrews & Flagler."
''What was the next changer?
'I think in 1870, the Standard Oil
company of Ohio was organized, with
capital of s1,0OO0O0, and we enlisted
much capital in the company"
Up to that time, he said, there had
been rapid development in the cleans
ing and refining of oil.
The business Of refining oil was
profitable, and as result many refin-
cries were built People turned to
