DEATH QUIETS FEUD
OF ROCKEFELLERS
New York, April 13. Death today
ended the seventeen year feud be-
tween John D. Rockefeller and his
brother, Frank. The billionaire oil
king announced that he would at
tend his brother's funeral st Cleve
land. It took the reaper to settle
the grim, silent hatred that existed,
for what reasons themselves only
know, between the two brothers for
nearly a score of years.
v "John D. Rockefeller and Will lain
Rockefeller will attend the funeral ol
their brother, Frank, in Cleveland,"
was the laconic official statement
from Rockefeller's Standard Oil of
fices here today.
Neither friends, associates, mutual
business Interests nor family ties
succeeded in breaking down the mys
terious wsll between the two men.
For seventeen " yesrs they neither
spoke, wrote nor referred to ea'h
other. They were chums in boyhood.
They fought their esrly business bat
tles side by side. They shsred their
first successes as they shared their
childhood poverty. They were un
usually close as brothers.
The break came In 1900. In thst
rear Frank announced that he had
left the Standard Oil cpmpany, 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.

calling for the co-operation of every
man and woman of the nation In wag
ing a successful wsr, bringing the
conflict home to every farm, factory
' and household, events of the next
I 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.
8uch men as Arthur J. Balfour; for
mer Premier Vlvlanl of French and
I other -notables, will offer suggestions,
make known the peace terms of the
allies and clinch the co-operation of
this government.
The senste 4s expected to place sn
unwavering approval upon the seven
billion dollar war bond Issue bill by
tomorrow or Wednesdsy.
With the bond Issue out of the
way both houses will consider taxa
tion problems. Suggestions tor rais
ing nearly $2,000,000,000, about hair
the first year's wsr expenses, by
sdded taxes, are formally before con
gress today.
The selective conscription bill Is
now before the senate military com
mittee, while,' other war-time bills,
like espionage, wooden shipbuilding
plans and finance measures are due
for early action.
The federal shipbuilding board Is
to organise a $50,000,000 corporation
today to build and operate the one
thousand wooden ships.
The selective draft measure now
seems likely to pass, though Presi
dent Wilson may have to exert fur
ther pressure upon the measure.
Overshadowing the congress' course
Insofar as the public Imagination Is
concerned, is the visit of the silled
high commission England's and
Prance's noted officials, braving the
perils of the deep and possibly the

counsel with their newest war allies,
America.
Aside from co-operative questions,
the issue of peace terms I vital for
them.
The allies know each other's terms,
and they know the broad principles
of President Wilson's terms. But
these views doubtless will be co-ordinated
In a general agreement as to
when America and her allies shall
regard Prusslsnlsm as obliterated for
all time.
Mere discussion of such terms does
not mean a peace move. In fact, of
