Tarrytown, N. Y, June 24.-(By The
Associated Press.)-William Rookie
Teller. oil maghate and brother of John
D.. Rockefeller. died here Saturday
from pneumonia, shortly before Z
o'clock. Mr.. Rockefeller had been i'll
at his home, Rockewood Hall, in North
Tarrytown, since Sunday, but word of
his condition was not made public.
Five doctors, under the charge Of
Mr.. Rockefeller's personal physician,
DR.. w. J. Robertson, were in attend
ance when the end came. Practically
the entire Rockefeller family was as
sembled at the deathbed.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who contracted a
heavy cold during the rains of the last
weekend. had just completed build
ing a $25O,OO0 m~ausoleum in the
Sleepy Hollow cemetery. The mauso-
leum was constructed according to his
own plans and under his personal di-
rection.
Very Rich Man
Mr.. Rockefeller, who was 81 years
old, had not recently been active in
business, although he was active head
of the Standard Oil Company of New
York from its establishment in 1860
until 1911. Although somewhat over
Swallowed by his elder brother, John
d. Rockefeller, William was one of
the richest men in America.
Almost the only time when his ac-
~tivities claimed much newspaper space
was in 1912 and 1913, when the con-
gressional committee investigating the
money trust" combed the country for
him as a witness. He was finally To-
Gated at Nassau, Bahama Islands, and
returned to Florida. When an effort
was made to question him in his cot
tage there, he was seized with such
spasms Of coughing that the committee
was warned by his physicians that it
might cause his death if the examina-
ton was continued. 1t then was adj
mitted that he was suffering from can
Ger of the throat.
Son Handled Business
Although he retained many Of his
directorships, Mr.. Rockefeller of late
years shifted much of his business re-
sponsibilities to the shoulders of his
son. Percy.
Non of his Wall Street associates
have ventured an OF his for
tune, but it was generally believed
that he had between 100000 900 and
$3.50. 600, 900 concentrated in various
Standard Oil companies, Anaconda
Copper, Consolidated Gas, Brooklyn
Union Gas, st. Paul and National City
bank.

Rockefeller's death, when it came,
should have no appreciable effect OF

ings would be tossed on the open

WILSON'S WIDOW

Yields When Told Absence

Slap at King.

London, June 24.-(By The Associ-
ated Press.)-The probable effect of
the assassination Of Field Marshal vii
son on the political situation attracted
attention Saturday and all the newspa
pers speculated as to the position of
the British government in view of the
outburst of anger in parliament on
the withdrawal of protection from the
prominent men.
The intense Indignation over the
murder is mingled with widespread
feeling that it should have been pre-
vented and consequently a scapegoat Is
being sought.

head of the police, has been singled
out particularly as a necessary victim
and his removal is demanded.

The Morning Post printed a state
ment from an unnamed correspondent
that Lady Wilson had sent a message
to the cabinet to the effect that the
presence of any cabinet member at her
husbands funeral would be distastefuI
toher. The message caused much con-
sternation and the newspaper says a
letter was written to Lady Wilson ask
ing her to reconsider her decision,
which at first she declined to do.
The war office then informed the
field marshal's widow. according to the
Post, that the absence of cabinet mem
bers from a military public funeral
would he regarded as d~isrespectful to
the king. Thereupon she yielded and
it was arranged for the ministers to
attend.

the American ambassador. On receiv-
ing news of the assassination of the
foreign minister the American EN-
bassy promptly hoisted it's flag at halt
mast.
News of the assassination reached
the reichstage at IL o'clock, just when
the commission on taxation had con-
vened. Chancellor Wirth announced
the assassination, upon which pande-
monium broke out among the various
party groups.
Two socialists jumped up. shouting
to DR.. Helfferrich, You are the as
sassin."
They threatened to pounce upon him
and DR.. Helfferrich hastily left the
committee room.
In one Of the reichstage anterooms
a heated outbreak of acrimony occurred
between deputies belonging to the left
wing and a party of representatives
of the other branch in the chamber.

to the reichstage itself at 11:25 o'clock
it was received with. deep emotion.
Then, amidst a turmoil, the body ad-
journed.

wizard of the German empire" because
by his high powers of organization and
business efficiency, he devised expedi-
ents which kept 1.-THE public guessing

energy. business acumen, vision and
initiative. His father founded the
German General Electric company of
Berlin.
As foreign minister DR.. Rathenau
was n leading figure among the Ger
man delegates at the Genoa conference.
DR.. Rathenau's prominence at Ge-
noa came rather from what he accomp-
lished outside the conference than in it.

extent OF the violation Of the law as
may be obtained Is contained in a dis
patch from the Washington corre-
spondent:
THE Federal officials in the fiscal
year just ended made arrests of 34,175
persons. This is the only year for
which accurate reports are available.
1t is safe to assume. however. officials
say, that nearly $4,000 arrests will be
made this year by the central Govern
ment alone. This is no indication that
officials believe drinking to be on the
increase. they explain. but rather an
indication that the law detection
agents are becoming more efficient.
For the fiscal year seizures were
made of 9,746 distilleries operating in
violation Of the law, while the prohi-
bition agents also seized S6,1s7 private
stills. worms. fermenters and other ap-
paratus intended to bring about law
violation.
Approximately $4,000. 900 worth of
liquor and other property was seized,
according to the Government ap-
praisals of values. These appraisals.
however are generally below the ac-
tual market value Of property taken.
More than 5000 900 gallons Of wine.
beer and distilled spirits were taken
from bootleggers and other law vio-
lators during the fiscal year. The
total for the current fiscal year may
run to 100000 gallons, it is esti-
mated.
"Ohio led all other States. even New
York with much larger population
in the number of persons arrested. In
Ohio 1884 arrests were made, while
New York came second with a total
of 3.0s9. The other States in which
the number of arrests exceeded 1000
each were: California. 1922: Geor-
gia, 1885; Illinois. 2.0S6: Massachu-
setts. 1915; Missouri, 1,1s6; North
Carolina, 1896. and Texas. 1,765.
Delaware reported the smallest
number of arrests, the total being Just
IA.
North Carolina qualified as the ma
tion's chief moonshine producing State
with total of 1851 seizures OF Illicit
stills. Next in order was Virginia.
with 1,170 still seizures and Georgia
with 1.422. Only II stills were seized
in New York State, although 220 fer
menters were taken by the Federal
agents"

Washington Is not as wet as Ore
gon. to which reference has been made,
and California Is more wet, as was
noted yesterday. Along the southern
border, as was told in the case OF
Texas, there is smuggling from Mexico
in addition to moonshining. In Mis-
sissippi, according to the Jackson COR
respondent. this Is the situation:
Since the adoption Of tie national
prohibition law a great many men
have been making moonshine whisky.
and IN some localities the sentiment
Of the people seems to be with them"
The writer follows this with state
ment by Mayor Scott Of jackson, who
says:
IT really believe that there is more
whisky being sold In jackson than
ever before. and the worst Of it Is 1t is
peing manufactured all around u.s."
In Florida the situation Is improv-
ing. thus:
mo figures are obtainable for the
state as a whole on bootlegging and
Illicit distilling. For the last year,
however. there has been a great fall
ing off in both. because OF the vigilance
Of State and national officers
From Georgia, however, comes a re-
port quite to the contrary. as was
noted previously. The correspondent
at Atlanta observes:
"It is estimated that there are now
1000 bootleggers in Atlanta alone.
A recent Chamber of Com
merce Grand Jury declared that 30
per cent. of the crime In Atlanta is
due TO bootlegging and liquor"

In connection with the arrests made
all over the country in the fiscal year
it is pointed out that while the Fed
eral officials report 3.oS9 arrests in
New York State for that period. the
news was printed yesterday that the
arrests by Federal officers in New
York in the calendar year totaled

Prohibition has undoubtedly largely

The correspondent in Boise, Idaho,
the next State westward. wires:
There are still many arrests for
operating Illicit stills, and there Is
much home brewing going on. The
greatest difference during the two
years is In bootlegging. Before the
passage Of the national law (Idako

amendment was passed) bootleggers
transported liquor from the neighbor-
