(United rresa Leased Wire.
New York, Nov. 18. John D. Rocke
feller, king of the Standard Oil, with
trembling steps took the witness stand
today and with faltering voice, almost
timorously, replied to questions before
Commissioner Franklin Ferris In the
t government suit to dissolve the Stand-
i f art Oil company of New Jersey.
f When he arrived at the federal build
' ing, he was greeted by a crowd Of 100
1 reporters and 60 photographers.
S. Replying to questions as Jto when his
I connection with the Standard Oil com--j.
pany began. Rockefeller said:
"Not later than 1862, and not earlier
than 1860."
J An attorney suggested, "He was a
i young man." . - ,.
"Somewhat vounger than I Tim now,
I replied the witness, with a faintly fllck
'I erlng smile than soon died away.
1 In answer to further questions he
I said:
i "in 1867 all the warehouses, the re
i 'finery and tire sales business of Rocke
! feller and Andrews were entirely ab-
sorbed by Rockefeller and Flagler."
John U. Miiourn, one in me Dianuaiu
Attorneys, asked:
J "Was Henry M. Flagler a new acquls
4 ltion to the company? '
"Mr. Flagler was a man of large busi
ly neas capacity and a valuable addition,"
? replied the oil king. The witness then
said he did not change the form of his
St business affairs until January, 1870,
s? when a number of distinguished eapltal
1st were added, in the formation of
2 the Standard Oil company of Ohio, with
Z a, capital stock of $1,000,000. He said:
. The Standard Oil company of Ohio
' took over the property and business of
Rockefeller and company; Rockefeller,
K Andrews and company, and Rockefeller,
Z and Rockefeller, Andrews and Flagler
in fact, aU of the business in which I
was Interested. Up to this time the
T business has been one steady growth
In commercial and financial lines. We
'3 had no other business."
' This is Rockefeller's second appear-
anee on the witness stand. He appeared
S before Judge Landis in Chicago last
; year after, weeks had been spent In tn
f Ing to serve a subpoena on hlin. This

i through the explanation of tha phy
sical development of the refineries and
I said:

tha refining and manufacture of good

ceswible for our domestic trade."
"Was not the million capitalization of
t Standard of Ohio very large?" asked
? Mllburn.
"I should eay It was very, very
J large," said the witness. "It seemed
f very large to us who had started less
Ithan ten years before with a capital
of $4,000."
1 Rockefeller explained the absorption
C of subsidiary companies to make bar-
2 rels and other supplies, saying they
were unable to purchase elsewhere and
f found It more expedient to manufacture
them themselves.

think that cocoanut oil is "too
good" to be used in making
a laundry soap.
Perhaps it is. But as there
is nothing else that is "just as
good", we use it. Cocoanut
oil yields a remarkably pro
