MAT SUMMON JOHN D. TO WITNESS-STAND. . Naw York, Sept. SI. Frank B. Kellogc, deputy United States attorney-general, conducting the govern ment suit to dissolve the Standard Oil company ot New Jersey, received reports this afternoon from his experts who examined the books of the company covering the years of the ell trust agree ment and the period of liq uidation from 188S until 1899 by which he will at tempt to prove Monday that the Rockefeller combination was conducted as a monopoly In direct defiance of the law for eight years. The period of liquidation from 1892 un til 1899, when there was a pretense of carrying out the orders of the supreme court of Ohio, is more .deeply clouded in mystery than any other portion of the trust's existence. John D. Rocke felle may be called to the witness-stand. While the meeting Is In progress it Is understood that John D. Rockefeller, who la at present at Cleveland, wUl be " In constant communication and the de-' clalon of the conference will be sub mitted to him for confirmation befort, any radical steps are taken. Based on the telegram from Cleveland today, r which was received by a prominent Wall street man early in the afternoon, . the plan which the Standard OH mag nates have In mind Is a complete and sweeping reorganisation of the corpora tion; this reconstruction possibly rb- . lng sufficiently far to-embrace the dls solution of the holding company which was chartered In New Jersey; the sub stitution of a new name and the reor ganisation of management by the seleo tlon as directors of a number of youn -men whose connection with the Stand ard have been most remote. ' The tenta - ' tive organisation, it was learned from an authoritative source, Is in a purely for- , , mative stage as yet,' but some of. the facts became known. The elan contemplates the ultimata retirement of John IX Rockefeller, pres- ldent of the parent concern, and with him, it is stated, will retire Rogers, WU- ' Ham O.
