Chicago. July 6. Telephonic Inquiries
at the McCormlck reaidenoe tonight aa
to John D. Rockefeller's whereabouts
resulted In the unvarying reply:
"Rockefeller left with Mr. McCormlck.
He will not be in the city tonight"
Whether Rockefeller had already do
parted from Chicago or was on his way
to his private car to do so, the voice
which answered the telephone refused
to say. Its response to further In
quiry was:
Hr Rockefeller has gone; he won't
be In the eitv tonight Can't tell you
when he will return. He's gone. That
a all I can tell you."
Mf Rockefeller's voice was not loud.
his speech was faltering, hla. sentenoes
Jerky, his answers given after slow de
liberation. Judge Land's could not very
well hear. Turning to the marshal he
said:
"Let there be less noise. Clear the
courtroom If there Is further disturb
ance." As question after question was put
to the witness he replied not without
dignity of speech to the court as "your
honor.' "yes, your honor' That went
with his every answer. It had almoat
a whining echo. When he was asked If.
beyond the production and refinement of
oil, the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey had any other business, his re-

had not been explicit enough, repeated In
a voice a trifle louder, r'I ahould jsay

, San Many Millions.
It was brought out by Judge Landls
that the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey owns, or at least Its stockhold
ers own, a majority of the atock of the
Indiana corporation. It waa heard that
for the three rears In which the com
pany has violated the rebate laws that
the parent Institution had earned the
stupendous sum of 179.800,000. Judge
Landls wished this Information, be
cause, as hs declared. It will assist him
in making up his mind ss to what just
penalty ahould be attached to the 1,4(1
convictions. And If the Standard Oil
officials who came from the east at
the summons of Judge Landls will re
main until Monday they will hear the
court's verdict.
Mr; Rockefeiler-ould not go Into de
tain or nis monster trust, his posi
tion as president, he declared, was
merely an honorary one. He had not
been active In the affairs of his com
pany In II years. And. for the past
eight years he had never put footflntt'
his offloes. He said he did not know
whether his com Deny in New Jefsev
operated one or more refineries.
Xsta&la Grows Angry,
The absence of details, the court
wished Information about, nettled Judge
Landls and he sternly asked Mr. Rocke
feller If he know any one of the wit
nesses present who could tell him; Mr.
Rockefeller thought there were three or
four and he seemed almost eager to
say so. ii ne couia do replaced on the
witness stand, he saw opportunity for
ine roiiet ox nis trying oraeai,

near. The table by him . on . which he
filsced hist hat, soon wAs covered With
aw hooka. Mr. Rockefeller took his
new straw hat and put It on ths floor
at his feet As ho raised his head from
... this act, 'his eyee fell upon a criminal
'Sitting 10 feet away. They had in them
4 ths wild, haunted look. Mr. Rockefeller
"did not know him, but the man knew
'who wal looking directly Into his face.
' And listening, a few minutes later, 1m
; mediately before his own case .was
called, the richeat man hiatory . has
, t known, heard the soft, impassioned. In
" i slatent plea for mercy from ths court
j t because It was about to pasa aentence
'upon one whoae family would be left

, living from tho charity of neighbors.
, Does Vot rity Criminal.
' And so listening, hearing plainly the
j'. words of sentence on Martin Condah
. t for misuse of the malls, penalty a year
ln prison, Mr. Rockefeller's face ml r-
, rored no sense of sympathy, no feeling
, of pity for the misfortune of this fel-
Ing woe in his home, starvation for
' those whom he loves. It was ths first
time In his life since he hss become a
central fisruro In tho realms of finance.
' v! that Mr. Rockefeller has been In a oourt
of luetics and listened there to the
, walls of criminals. Ho heard Judge
.' Landls pass sentence on three common
, offenders. All the time his nervous and
' restless eyes passed rapidly, sometimes
. almost wearuy, ironv-iace to race, ap
: parently in the vain search for one that
. so conspicuous a position, mixed up
' with those about to don tho priaon's
. stripe, Jostled by those whoso clothing

- ence, whom he could buy at the cur
. rent rates before the war. numbers

Questioned by Judge.
'' Judge Landis himself asked the ques
' tions propounded to Mr. Rockefeller.
They were not harah in their utterance.
. nor were tney sorter in manner than
r " he had put to other witnesses. When
.' ho called "John D. Rockefeller." the
''words had a commanding ring. The
' aged, almost stooping billionaire, fixed
His waiKing cane nrmiy on trie floor,
and uaed it to assist mm in gaming an
unrirht position. Then he walked slow
ly toward the wltneaa chair, 20 feet
-away, and sat down. In a moment he
bad crossed his legs. With one hand
, he held to hia cane and with the other
no gripped the railing which surrounds
. ' the judicial chair. Judge Landls leaned
- forward and put a question. It snapped
7 iiae closing or a pocset Ktiire.
"Mr. Rockefeller, have you any oflfi
elal connection with the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey?"
. . Both Attorneys Rosenthal and Miller
' . were on their feet with objections.
Overruled, they argued that there was
no Issue before the oourt; overruled.
"They insisted that ths question was not
pertinent; overruled. Then the attor
; neys sat down. Judge Landis turned
to tho witness again, who now answered
In tho affirmative. And then, in the
. ' parlance of tho sportsman, "a fox was
, jumped." i
Speech U raltering.
Tho confusion caused by spectators
t this period desiring to draw nearer
'to tho eourt railing became annoying.

for hv
this time ho was ill at ease. His hands
trembled. He crossed his legs. His
maii. sane-iiVA eves rolled first from
hlsfeofJrtiinthe face ortho. jiflgo,
then torhls attorneys and and now and
again to tno tnrong of newspaper repre
sentatives who sat 16 feet away. And,
after having been on the stand 21 min-
utea, nan or wuicn time was consumed
bv argument of counsel, denying ths
right of tho court to compel replies to
questions. Mr. Rocks feller stepped al
most nimbly from his seat and hastened
to a chair at the long table around
which were seated William Rockefeller,
C. M. Pratt secretary of tha Kt.nd.rrl
John D. Archbold, vice-president, W. P,
Howe, Charles T. White and F. Q. Bar
etow, assistant secretaries, J. A. Mof
fatt, president of the Standard of Indi
ana, W. P Cowan, vree-pfesldent; O.-W,
EtahL secretary and H. E. Felton, presi
dent of the Union Tank Line. -
Other Witnesses Called.
C. M. Pratt followed Mr. Rockefeller
on the stand. He told of the owning of
the Indiana company by tho Now Jer
sey corporation. He informed tho court
that most of the stock of the Union
Tank Line was also owned by tho Stand
ard. Bpeaklng of the net earnings of
me inqw jersey corporation during the
vears 1908. 1904 and 1905. he said that
in 1908 the company earned $81,800,000.
tho following year It made $61,600,000
and in 1906 the proflta had fallen to
$67,000,000.
Mr. Felton next took the stand and
confessed that the Union Tank Llns was
mostly a Standard Oil concern. Still
It was not making anv money and had
not declared a dividend alnce 1901.
Minor Details.
The witness who preceded Mr. Rocke
feller was F. W. Wann. now of tha Ban
Pedro road, formerly general freight"
g9ni or me Alton, wno naa made the
tariff during the time of the rebates.
His testimony together with that of B.
M. Stanton, was of no consequence and
neither was on the stand exceeding a
minute.
Nons Of ths other Standard officers
were on the stand. When the proceed
ings were about to be closed Judee
Landis said that if the Standard Oil
company should appear before him and
show that tho Indiana cases were the
first time the company had violated the
anti-trust laws, the fact, if related
would oontrmuie toward a possible
mitigation or penalties.
By this time John D. Rockefeller waa
on hla feet. His ears had caught the
meaning of tho eourt's remarks. At
torney Rosenthal asked when the court
wished his answer. The reply was that
he. Judge Landls, would like to hear on
Monday.

Can You Play fhe Music Written
by the "Poet of the Piano"
If so you will be particular about the piano you buy. What
long hours hare been spent studying out the difficult meas
ures of Paderewski's favorite composer! What a triumph
one feels when he masters them I
No great musician is satisfied with a poor tinny sounding
piano. Nothing but the best will fully respond to his ar
tistic touch. If the great master of music finds it necessary
to have the finest piano in order to execute his pieces cor
rectly, how much more difficult it is for the semi-musician
