Serious Questionings as to
Future Arise in Polit

(By Associated Press.)
BERLIN, Nov. IS The Clermnn
Bmperor has given his Imperial
pledge to hold himself within close
constitutional bounds hereafter In
matters concerning affairs of state,
but though the situation has cleared,
serious 'lUestlonlnKs have arisen in
political circles ns to the significance
of the emperor's action with respect
to 'the future relations between tho
Kelchstnng und the executive branch
of be government.
While calm observers interpret the
emperor's surrender of what he had
considered his prerogative as regis
tering us a remarkable victory for
public opinion, they fully recognise
the fact that It leaves Germany far
removed from popular government.
The emperor, It Is pointed out, yield
ed lo the most Impressive demonstra
tion of the people's will ever seen lis
Germany, but such an occasion can
hardly arise but once In a generation
when tho minds "f the people are till
ed with an unanimity on such a dem
onstration. Under these unusually
circumstances tho Reichstag when
the emperor's Interference in nation
al affairs, came up, was unable to
agree upon a single course, setting
forth tho -views oS tW -members of
the Reichstag, who were one In their
opposition to his majesty's course.
No action could bo taken, because the
conservatives on pretext that the
Ilelcbstug did not possess the rights
to address the crown, refused to co
operate. The radicals and socialists,
however. Intend to attempt to pass a
resolution demanding an amendment
to the constitution making the minis
ters responsible to the Reichstag, but
It Is already certain that this reso
Inlon will be rejected.

Relates His Story With Air
of Country Gentleman
With Kindly Mien.
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Nov. !. Relating
his story with the air of a country
gentleman with kindly mien, engaging
a host of friends with incident of
days long past, John U. Rockefeller,
president of the Htandard (ill compa
ny, though for nearly ten years retired
from the active cares of office, for
over two hours today reviewed the
history of the early oil trade and th
development of the first companies
that later grew into the present so
called oil trust.
Mr. Rockefeller was a witness for
the defense Is, the suit to dissolve the
Standard oil company, wqlch la being
prosecuted by the United States gov
ernment and his appearance at the
hearing before former Judge Franklin
Ferrlaa, the referee, brought a large
crowd to th customs building. The
hearing of the big oil combine was
surrounded by an Imposing array of
counsel. Mr. Rockefeller appeared at
perfect ease, and when John (1. Mil
bourne, of counsel tor th Standard
oil, propounded hi first question th
witness spoke out In full tones. -
Ills Mart.
Mr. Rockefeller tuld of tils start In
the oil business and, how under ad
verse conditions that business grew to
the Proportion of tha Htandard Oil
company of Ohio, with It capitalisa
tion of 11, 009, 00, nr. Rockefeller
eyes sparkled In reflection on that
early financial ' organisation l and
speaking of Its million dollar capital
isation with almost boyish enthusiasm,
he said: "It seemed very large to us
Who began with only 14,009 In lilt."
Thus the proceedings lost in a sen
their of tidal aspect of the engaging
manner in which, Mr. .Hoekefelier dis
played 1ft his answers, which now and
then eontafned flashes of kindly hu
mor. A glow ef health thowd In
Mr. Rockefeller's smooth Iharen face.
Mr. Rockefeller was dressed In a plain
business suit of dark materia.!, and
across his vtst was suspended a heavy
gold watch chain, A dark purple
necktie, In which a large peart pin
was set, snuggled close to a high col
lar. c
Policy of OH Company.
Th development of Mr. Rockefel
ler's testimony today, which carried
him to tK organisation of the Htand
ard oil company of Ohio, indicated
that one of th lines of defenso would
be that the Standard company Is not
th result of an aggresslvs policy to
obtain the mastery of the oil trade, as
charged, hut rather tha natural out
come of an economic development
which the exigencies of the oil trade
demanded.
After a brief recess Mr. Rockefeller,
talked to the reporters on th Stand
ard's growth, saying!
"What a wonderful thing It all has
been. The growth of the business. It
all seems like a dream to ma and
here 1 am accused of doing ths very
wicked tiling of selling a good article
at a lower prlc than any one else.
"This testimony here today brings
back to my mind so clearly early days
In Cleveland, where we were all
friends and neighbor together. How
well I remember that day In Cleveland
when 1 went into the bank of T. P.I
Handy, who afterward became one of
my dearest friends. I wanted to bor
row money, but I didn't have any col-i
lutcral nor any on to endorse my
note. I told him what I wanted to do
with It and then he asked me how
much I wanted. 'I need 12,000,' I
said, and I got It. To that loan I at
tribute whatever success I have had
in life since."
Thu taking of Mr. Rockefeller's tes
timony will be concluded tomorrow.
