JOHN D. REFUSE
TO GIVE ANSWER
New' York. Nov. 20. "I docline to
answer unless counsel for the gov
ernment Insists."
TbU'la the now onr tinning by John
D. Hoekefeller today when ho facod
the grilling nT6 of erosvexiiinlnatlon
at the hands of Friiuk 1). Kellogg,
deputy nttornoy general, and chlof of
Itoosevilt's "trust busters."
The nil king wnn composod nnd
culm. He did not sin lie when ho ro
poated the answer over nnd over but
there wns n twinkle In his small
bright eyes.
Moritz Itosonthnl, the thousand-dollur-a-day
Standard nttornoy and
wary John 0. Mllhurn, special coun
sol for n doreu of tho biggest corpor
ations, had formed that answer nnd
they seemed plunsod wjth It, too.
,Jlut If It botheiod tho llory gov
ernment Investigator, ho showed no
Blgim of It. Kellogg employed his
quiet manner of exaiuluutlon. Ho
iibIum! his questluns In tho conversa
tional tone that has marked nil his
tlorco attacks upon witnesses. Tho
Imposlbtltty of confusing him wnu
ovldent and his clear, determined tac
tics were In full play.
Kellogg vtnrtod his cross-examination
by asking the questien:
"Do you consider hazardous any
business venutru thnt started In 18K2
with a capital of $77,000,000 nnd has.
paid dividends of $591,000,000 and
accumulated a surplus or over f 300,
0OO.O0OT" "I don't consider that tho amount
of money mudo In nny business has
anything to do with whether or not
It Is hazardous," answered Rocke
feller camly nnd dolberotely,
. ThJe tjnioi Rockefeller was asked
a certain quostlon as to tho appor
tionment of tho cash property and
and trust certificates slnco tho pro
mulgation of the trust ngrooniont oC
1882.
Knch time tho oil king, over rondy
to dofend the secrets of the Standard,
replied:
"I'docllno to answer unless coun
sel for tho government Irislsts."
When Kellogg reponted his ques
tlona fourth time, Attorney John G.
Mllhurn for tho Standard Interrupted
the government attornoya by saying;
"Mr. Rockefellor will answer no
quostlon that he is not compelled to
answer."
Later Mllhurn said that Hocku
roller might answer this quostlon. but
Kellogg had struok a new lead and
dec I nod to press the point, evidently
satisfied with having brought out tin
intstakoably nn effort to conceal the
fuets -
Kellogg called attention to extracts
from the records of the Standard OH
company mid pointed out thnt tho
original capitalization of tho concern,
of ffl'J. ooo. 000 represented property
worth J50.000.000 and trust certifi
cates aggregating $13,000,000
