John D. Archbold, a Noted
Figure in Finance, Died
at Tarrytown To-day
AFTER OPERATION
FOR APPENDICITIS
His Wealth Is Estimated to
Be Close to $780,
100000

Tarrytown, n. Y, Dec "a noted
figure in the worlds petroleum industry
was removed to-day when John ID. Arch
bold, capitalist, president of the Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey and an
officer and director in various other en-
terprises, died at his home here after
two weeks illness, subsequent to an op-
Grafton for appendicitis. Death came at
4 o'clock this morning.
Funeral services will be held here
Thursday forenoon and will be attended
by relatives and personal and business
friends, including John ID. and William
Rockefeller. During the services the in
dustries of the town will suspend.
John ID. Archbold was almost as close
" identified with the history of the
Standard Oil as John ID. Rockefeller him
self. OF the first nine trustees OF the
trust" formed in 1882 he alone remained
in this country until its dissolution in
1911 at the order of the United States
supreme court, and it was he who was
named to engineer the dissolution, after
which he became president and director
of the Standard Oil company of New Jer-
sew. He was the most active and agrees
sive fighter in the oil combine, and in
variably represented the Standard Oil
on the witness stand in the numerous
hearings in connection with the govern.
ment's suit to dissolve it.
This publicity was still further height
ened by the publication OF score or
more Of letters from Mr.. Archbold to
Joseph B. Foraker, then senator from
Ohio, Representative Joseph c. Sibley OF
Pennsylvania and other statesmen show
ing that large sums of money had been
distributed for the alleged purpose OF
influencing favorable legislation at Wash
ington Mr.. Archbold considered them
as attorney fees. The publication OF
these letters eposed Mr.. Archbold to at
tack from every quarter.
John Dustin Arehbold was born NJ
Leesburg, o., July 26, ls46, and was
working in country store at Salem, o.,
when he heard of the wonderful oil re.
gions in western Pennsylvania. where
men were becoming rich over night. In
1864 he went to the oil fields and became
refner and buyer at Titusville. He
became tlit agent VI a new Inv
Acme company, which proved to be an
offshot of the Rockefeller interests, and
from that time, in 1873, until his death
he was an associate of the Rocketellers.
1t has been estimated that his for
tune, made almost entirely in oil and
its bv-products, was nearly 100000, 900.
Although Mr.. Archbold was not particu-
larly conspicuous as benefsctor, he
made many large gifts, including sum
OF 100000 to Syracuse university in one
lump, besides annual donations of small
er amounts He was also church mem
Der and a liberal contributor to religious
work.
He was married in 1870 to Miss Annie
Mills OF Titusville, Pa, and maintained
a beautiful estate at Cedar Cliff, Tarry-
town, and home at Southampton, Long
Island.

OTHERS MAY DIE.
AS Result of Eating Meat of Bear Meat
Not Well Cooked

Orleans, Dec 5.-The condition OF
those suffering from trichinosis, the dis
ease that was contracted by eating bear
meat insufficienty cooked about two
weeks ago, is still serious. i. X. Heath
is very low and there is doubt OF his re-
covery. Mrs. Heath was reported as a
little worse. although her condition for a
day or two has remained about the same.
The newest victim of the disease, that
of Mary Scalburg, the young schoolgirl
who was working at the house at the
time the meat arrived, is reported as not
as well and evidences Of the disease have
been growing stronger the past two days.
Mrs. Baldwin of Baldwin's Mills p. O.
wife of the man who died from the dis
ease few days ago, is in about the same
condition as she has been for the past
few days, the case having evidently made
no progress. She is still in bed.
Rev. w. S. Smithers, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church, and f. A.
Dimick were among those who ate OF the
meat and all of them are naturally
watching developments closely as well as
neryously.
About rs pounds of the meat was TAX

no one in that locality has had any bad
results as far as is known.

FARM CREDIT SCHEME.
Is Proposed Before National Conference
in Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 5-"Funda amental Prin
ciples that Should Apply in Farm Cred
its" were discussed here to-day by Rob-
ert D. Kent, banker of Passaic, n. j.,
before the National Conference on Mar
keting and Farm Credits.
Mr.. Kent basing his remarks on the
principle that prosperity, safety and
happiness of men result from that OF
society in general and that socie<y's
strength and safety come from the tidel-
ity and labor of individuals" spoke in
part as follows:
"In addition to raising crops for food
clothing and shelter, it is important that
men be given employment to earn
livelihood. The problem is for society
to furnish farms to capable and willing
workers, who, in turn, will furnish prod
ucts of the soil to the community.
at is of prime Importance that the
individual who is to be assisted should
bear the brunt of the burden. If he is
relieved of his obligation to be thought
full Industrious and thrifty his manli-
ness will be undermined. The state,
however should make it as easy as pos
sible for the borrower, by arranging sys-
TENS of co operation among the borrow
ers themselves. 1t is of, public benefit
that the landless man should be con
nected with the 'manless land and there
fore the government is justified in fur
nishing assistance, but it should be done
in such way that 'mislits should not
occur and that underwritings should not
entail any long or severe charge on so.
ciety.
Il would suggest the following plan:
Let the township, county, or state, own
the land and the stock on the farm and
let them enter into a contract with those
that desire to go on the farms. Earn
ings of the farms should to a large ex-
tent be applied to reducing the debts
incurred, and the government, IN such
cases, should appoint supervisors over
say, ten or fifteen farms for the first
years occupancy, but put no more ex-
pense on the farm than necessary in or
der that the taxpayers money may not
be jeopardized. Until the working of
the farms returns enough money to make
substantial reduction of the indebted
ness, the supervisors should have full
power of direction. Then the title to
the farm could be vested in the occu-
pant, and mortgage would secure the
balance due If it be found that the
farmer can not make good the contract
should be terminated by board of com
mittee, properly constituted"

FATE OF BUCHAREST
APPARENTLY SEALED

The fate OF Bucharest apparent
ly is sealed. The Teutonic ad-
vance on the city is going on un-
checked. This announcement was
made by the Russian war office to-
day. Petrograd also mentions
Ploesci, 35 miles north of Bueha-
rest, as another point in the di-
rection of which the invading
armies are moving without effec-
tive opposition. @loesoi is on the
line of the only railway route of
retreat for the Rumanians operat-
ing in the vicinity of Bucharest.
This threat seemingly means the
speedy abandonment of Bucharest
if the Rumanians expect to make
an effective retreat over the rail
road line toward Moldavia.
On the Macedonian front the
Serbians have captured the village
of Stravina, according to Serbian
report, and Paris announces prog
gress for the French and Serbians
within the bend of the Cerna.
