The OIL KING HETIRES FROM JJUSINESS Names of Rockefellers Erased from List of Directors and Officers of New Jersey Corporation. AE CHE OLD HEADS BIO COMPANY Member of "Old Guard" Will Con trol Standard Oil. DECISION HASTENS RETIREMENT Younger Men to Take Over Work of Rearranging Affairs. MANAGEMENT LITTLE ALTERED Mr. Rockefeller for Nearly , T Years Haa Been Only Nominally. Assorlated with Standard Oil In Dnslneas. NEW YORK, Dee. 4. John D. Ilocke ftller terminated his career as head of the Standard Oil company today. With him there also retired most of the con spicuous figures of the early days of the "oil truet." Not a Rockefeller re mains among the officers and directors of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, chief of the oil corporations, which was the holding company up to the time of the recent dissolution of the great combine. William Rockefeller, William G. Rock efeller, O. W. Pratt. H. M. Flagler. E. T. Bedford and others whose names have been prominent In the oil business, stepped behind the scenes today. John D. Archbold, one of the few mem tiers of the "old guard" to remain, be carr. president of the Standard Oil com pany of New Jersey and will control lu destinies, John I. Rockefeller was not present at iS Broadway, the headquartera of the Standard Oil company at the special meeting at which time his resignation was acted upon. The termination of the business career of the man who has ac quired a unique position in history and amassed what Is generally regarded as the largest private fortune In the world, Vas a perfunctory proceeding. It had been planned In advance, although the plans had been kept secret. All the In formation vouchafed at 84 Broadway came In the shape of a brief typewritten statement announcing the changes. Management Little Changed. Today's action affects not only the New Jersey company, but a number of other corporations In the Standard Oil group. Although the list of officers and directors Is virtually made over, the ex ecutlve management will be changed but little. To what extent today's action Is an outcome of the C!solutlon of Stand ard Oil was not disclosed from any au thoritative1 source. It is generally un . derstood the decision of h United States supreme court merely hastened the retire ment of inn whose advancing' yesrs made It certain they could not retain their places much longer.. It Is regarded as probable that Mr. Rockefeller and liis associates thought younger men should take over the work of rearrang ing the affairs of Standard Oil under the Hew scheme of things. Mr.- Rockefeller for nearly ten years lias been only nominally associated with Standaru Oil. He has visiter Broad way only about once a year and his stays usually were limited to a few minutes. After the death of H. II. Rogers, Mr. Kockefoller's visits became more fre quent for a time, until gradually rsponsl bllity wsjfsh1fted to Mr. Archbold. The succession of Mr. Archbold to tho presi dency had been expected.' John A. Moffett, who was elected first vtoe president of the reorganised New Jersey company, is one of the best known of the comparatively new men In the fkandard Oil company. He was presi dent of the Standard Oil company of In diana when Judge Landls imposed his SJD.000,000 fine upon that company. Teaa-le Former Independent. W. C. Teagle, elected second vice president,' Is a man under forty, but he long ago acquired a reputation for marked abmty in the oil trade. He was an in dependent refiner In upper New York state when he sold out to Standard Oil, and took a position as head of its expert department, which is said to have de veloped enormously under tits nianage- (Cuntlnutu from Fourth PugeJ The Weather FOR NEBRASKA Generally fair, Warmer east portion.

Chauffeur is Held in Connection With Kaufman Murder CHICAGO. Dec. 4-Detectlves in every part of Chicago continued today to run down every posslblo clue with the hope of arresting the three men who are be lleved to have murdered Mrs. IMmund Kaufman near her home on Koscoe boule vard SaturOay night after trying to hold up tho woman and her husband. Only one man, William Guttenbcrger. a former chauffeur employed by Kaufman, is being held by the police. Five other arrests were made, hut all the suspects wero let go when Kaufman failed to Identify any of them. He did Identify Quttenberger, but the latter stoutly pro tests his Innocence and the police think possibly that Kaufman made a mlsUUe In the Identification. After the police had refused early today to allow Uuttenberger's father and brother and Attorney George Remus lo talk with the prisoner, the lawyer snld he would file suit later In the day for JC0.009 ugainst Assistant Chief of Pollen Schuettler, Acting Captain Joel 8mitli and 8erscarit John Benson, and In addi tion would ask for a writ of habeas cor pus for his client. Columbus, 0., Bank Suspends Business COLUMBUS. O., Dec. 4.-The Union National bank today posted a notice of suspension by a resolution of tho board of directors. It was further stated that the bank Is now in the hands of the comptroller of the currency. As the action of the directors had been expected It Is not thought the closing of the bank will have any effect on the local financial situation. The capital stock of the bank was $750,000, Its 'surplus $100,000 and It Is esti mated that Its deposits approximated $-.- ooo.oco. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The failure of the Colurflbus Union National bank In volved a possible loss of about $f-'00,000, according to reports to the comptroller of the currency. Assets to that extent covering the institution's capital, surplus and Undivided profits appeared to be of questionable value. No Restrictions on Selling of Catttle WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Cattle raising and selling afe to have no additional re striction as a result of the deliberations of the supremo court of the United States. That tribunal today decided false representations placed In the malls as to the character and quality of certain cattle proposed for sale and Inducements to correspondents to purchase . Inferior cattle did not constitute a .violation of the statute -against devising schemes for obtaining money under false, pretenses. TThe cohrir held tire "statute NrtP"d only to lotteries. The point arose In th,e case of George F. Stever, 'J. B. Stever and Harry I. Ball, who were charged with devising a scheme at Fairfield, la., .for the sale of cattle. H. O. Fowler Bros, of Colesburg, Ky., figured as prospective purchasers. GIRLS LOST IN BLIZZARD RETURN TO SCHOOL HOUSE PIERRE. S. D.'Dec. 4.

They left school o go home in a storm, and miss ing the trail which led to their home, and realizing that they were not on the right road for home, turned their horse and followed their own track back to the school house. Then not taking any more chances In the dark they made themselves and their horse as comfortable as pos sible and "camped "down" for the night. Their father In searching for them was tost for some time, but finally reached a fence, which he followed unt.ll It took him home In the darkness, where fie waa obliged to wait the coming of daylight to continue his search, which located the children safe at the school building.

S.-Holdlng that the lands which are claimed by the In dians, whether allotted or not, are ex empt from state selections and declaring that there will be a shnrtago on the Plnr Ridge reservation to fill the claims of the Indians, who he says, are first, Al lotting Agent Bates has raised a new point against the" state selection of Indemnity lands on that reservation. State Land Commissioner Brinker has gone to Wash- ngtou to secure a ruling 011 the disputed olnt. If tho department holds with the allot .lug ugent, tho state will be forced to go outside the reservation to Indemnify iueif ior two sections, which wero taken by .he Indiana in their allotment. jEMAND FOR fMPEACHMENT OF MARTI NJ.

Fredericks today In foimed flie Associated Press tiiat Bert It. Franklin, a detective employed by the McN'amara defense' and now under arrest on a charge of attempting to bribe George N. Ickwood, a venireman, with 4,000, actually paid to Robert F, Bain, the first sworn Juror In the case, 400 and promised $3,000 more at the end of the trial If he would vote for acquittal or secure a disagreement of the jury.. Tho district attorney produced a sworn copy of testimony by Mrs. Robert - F. Bain, wife of the Juror, In his office last Friday. Mrs. Bain not only told of the first meeting, but related In detail how Franklin came to her house October . a few days before her husbund was sum moned to serve on the Jury. The district attorney declared that only one more case of bribery so fur as he knew, had yet been uncovered and that the amounts In it had been similar to the Lockwood and Bain cases, so that In all about $12,000 was promised by the defense to Influence Jurymen. lie declared that examination of wit nesses In the Franklin cae would reveal the details of the alleged briberies In which Frcnklln participated. He de clared that at present no more arrests weYe Intended, but that court revelations might make it necessary to apprehend persons upon whose orders Franklin Is supposed to have acted. Mrs. Bain's statement was made a few hours before the Jury was discharged and the Bains met they were both In tears. At their little home here the aged couple are downcast by the devel opments, but the district attorney, It is said, promised that they would not be arrested or Involved beyond the giving of testimony In the court proceedings. The prosecution's Inforinatfon concern ing the. bribery of still another sworn Juror, according to District Attorney Fredericks, . Is as well established as lrt the Bain 'case. ." " "The defense simply couldn't .win by fair means." said Mr. Fredericks, "and when Xhey tried to win by unfair tactics V blocked them at every turn. That was why they surrendered." Bain, who Is a ruddy-faced, white haired civil war veteran, was the first juror sworn to try James B. McN'amara. Tho bailiffs say he has manifested Irri tation from time to time. Once when the Jury was being taken to luncheon, Bain attacked with a broom a news paper photographer who attempted to take his picture. Mrs. Bain la a little woman many years the Junior of her husbsnd, but gray-hatred. Franklin Case Continued. A preliminary examination of Franklin for the alleged attempt to bribe George N. Lockwood, a venireman, by the uso of $4,000 was'scheduled to take place to day, but a continuance for a week at granted. The two Incidents of alleged bribery that of Bain and Lockwood are believed not-to Include all the attempts to affect the yerdlct of the Jury which has come to the attention of the prosecution, and District Attorney Fredericks Is glverJ as authority for the statement that still an other sworn Juror hed been tsmpered with. The McNamaias sre to bo sentenced to morrow, but the work of the prosecution here to apprehend other persons Involved will go on as a corollary to the In vestigation of the federal government which is believed to extend over a much wider field. More arrests and possibly more Indict ments when the grand Jury is empanelled are- looked for here as a result of the confessions of the McNamara brothers. Mars Labor Lenders Knew. Organized labor was represented at con ferences of counsel at which It was de cided to enter pleas of guilty for the McNamoras. This much was admitted today by Clarence 8. Darrow, chief coun sel for the prisoners. "I sent telegrams to labor leaders to come here for a conference," he said, "but I did not and could not tell them what It) was about. I thought they would un derstand. I sent one telegram to Sam uel Gom pere-Ts king for a representative to advise with me. Kdward Nockels, sec retary of the Chicago Federation of Labor, camo and wis here two weeks previous to the time the McNamarjie mads their confession." Nockels also was here shortly after the trial began and talked with the Mc Xamaras at the county Jail. Ha departed soon, hoWKver, and did not return until a fortnight ago. He dettted repeatedly that his second visit I. ad anything to do with the case. Attorney Darrow declared today that Nockeli knew the situation and accepted the solulou reached as the most prac ticable one. A sensation was caused today when scores of former talesmen In the Mc Namara rSKe f!lel Into Judge Walter Bordwell's co-.irt In response to sum mons. It was srated, however, that these men were excused only for the Mc Namara case and were liable for fur ther J'iry service, and that they were summoned for this and no other reaton. Judge Hordnell Jul no: appear In cou;l. It was repoiiod that ha a con sidering the course he expects to take In deriding the fate of the Mc.Vaiiiara brothcis. j Muu i'alenneM Approached.

ISxpect Long Session. Everywhere there seemed to be tho shadow of protentlous happenings and everybody seemed to feel as If Ihey were entering upon a long and possibly dreary session. Speaker Clark was not enthusi astic for tho shadow of dlfierences be tween Martin Littleton, a representative from New York, and Stanley fiom Ken tucky, over the manner In which the steei investigation was be,ng conducted polntid to other disagreements Hnd without say ing so, thought the csuse of democracy will be full of pitfalls. On the other side Mann of Illinois, the minority leader, looks upon the session now on with trepidation, and ponslbly with mixglvlngs. Both sides are on guard to take advantage of any advan tage, and politics may be expected to he played with the presidency as the goal from thin time on until the gavel falls some time next summer when the nation's legislators will repair to their homes to enter upon tho work ot re-electing them selves.

Dec. 4.-Presldent Gom pers of tho American Federation of Labor explained his part In the confer ence of labor lenders which Attorney Darrow said was held at Los Angolos before the McNamara defense bedded to enter pleas of guilty. "I was at Atlanta attending' the con vention of the American Federation of Labor," said Mr Gompers, "when Mr. Darrow's telegram reached me.

"When specific charges are brourht against the union," asserted Mr. Gompers, it will be the duty of the American Fed eration of Labor to Investigate.

"1 do not say that Gompers Is guilty of any crime or haa guilty knowledge of any crime. I do not even know that ha will be subpoenaed to appear before the fed eral grand Jury of Indianapolis." Mr. Drew added that In his opinion ths federal authorities at Indianapolis had their evidenoe In such shape that an In dictment would be returned when the grand Jury reconvened on December 14. He expressed the opinion tnat between twenty and thirty men would be Indicted. Just who these men were he did not care to say. "it Is known and on record that the ex ecutive board of the International Asso ciation of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers voted $1,000 a month to finance the operations of tho Mc-N'ainaras," he said.
