1t is believed that Mr.. Rockefeller
would have retired as head Of the cor
poration some time ago if it had not
been that he did not wish TO do so while
IL was under fire. Now Wall Street
would not be surprised TO see him turn
over the title as well as the duties Of

long been ia Practical charge of the af-
fairs Of tho company.
Two members of the "old guard" OF
