DEATH DUETS FEUD
Of ROCKEFELLERS

New York, April 16.-Death today
ended the seventeen year feud be-
tween John ID. Rockefeller and his
brother. Frank. The billionaire oil
king announced that he would at
tend his brothers funeral at Cleve-
land. II took the reaper to settle
the grim, silent hatred that existed,
for what reasons themselves only
know, between the two brothers for
nearly score OF years.
John d. Rockefeller and William
Rockefeller will attend the funeral Of
their brother, Frank. in Cleveland" "
was the laconic official statement
from Rockefeller's Standard Oil Of
fees here today.
Neither friends. associates. mutual
business interests nor family ties
succeeded In breaking down the mys-
terious wall between the two men.
For seventeen years they neither
spoke, wrote nor referred to each
other. They were chums in boyhood.
They fought their early business bat
ties side By side. They shared their
first successes as they shared their
childhood poverty. They were un-
usually close as brothers.
The break came in 1900. In that
year Frank announced that he had
left the Standard Oil company, never
to return, and that he had taken a
vow never again to speak to his
brother. The quarrel was said to have
been over business affairs.

.ENTFU[ Week
OPENS At CAPITAL

Washington. April l6.--One Of the
most eventful weeks In American his.
tory lay before the United States to-
day.
With President Wilson's appeal
calling for the cooperation OF every
man and woman OF the nation In wag-
ing successful war. bringing the
conflict home to every farm. factory
and household. events OF the next
few days will move America rapidly
forward to participation In the strug-
gle with Germany.
At the same time. the allied high
commissions will probably be here.
Such men as Arthur J. Balfour: for
mer Premier viviani OF French and
other notables. will offer suggestions,
make known the peace terms OF the
allies and clinch the cooperation OF
this government.
The senate Is expected to place an
unwavering approval upon the seven
billion dollar war bond issue bill by
tomorrow or Wednesday.
With the bond issue out OF the
way both houses will consider taxa
tion problems. Suggestions for rails
ing nearly $4,000. 200, 900. about half
the first years war expenses. by
added taxes. are formally before con-
gress today.
The selective conscription bill Is
now before the senate military COM
mittee. while other wartime bills.
like espionage. wooden shipbuilding
plans and finance measures are due
for early action.

today to build and operate the one
thousand wooden ships.
The selective draft measure now
seems likely to pass, though Presl-
dent Wilson may have to exert fur
ther pressure upon the measure.
Overshadowing the congress- course
insofar az the public imagination Is
concerned. is the visit OF the allied
high commission--England's and
frances noted oficials. Drawing the
perils OF the deep and possibly the
fate Of Kitchener, that they may
counsel with their newest war allies.
America.
Aside from cooperative questions.
the issue OF peace terms is vital for
them.
The allies know each others terms,
and they know the broad principles
OF President Wilson's terms. But
these views doubtless will he co-ord-
mated in general agreement as TO
when America and her allies shall
regard Prussianism as obliterated for
all time.
Mere discussion OF such terms does
not mean peace move. In fact, Of
ficlals say the nation is In this war

talk that peace Is on the horizon.
The nation is building a war struc-
ture to last at least three years, they
