Rockefeller, died yesterday in his apartments at a local hotel from a stroke of paralysis and a blood clot on the brain, as a result of a relapse he suffered following an intestindl operation a month ago. He became seriously i1l on Monday last, and had been uneonscious since Friday. e was 72 years old, and is‘survived by his wife and .three daughters. The funeral will be held here on Tuesday. Frank Rockefeller was not on speaking terms with his brother, John D., as a result of a quarrel they had years ago. In comparison with his brother, John D., he was a poor man, his fortune probably not totaling more than $800,000. N Frank Rockefeller was the young- est of the three brothers, in the fam- ily made famous by petroleum. For several years he was associated with John D. Rockefeller and Willlam Rockefeller in the oil business, but was not as widely known as they. He was born on a farm in- Richford, N. Y, in 1845, coming of a Scotch family that had settled orig- inally on a small farm in the western part of this state. His father - was William Avery Rockefeller, who sold Medicines about the country. N When his brother organized “ the Standard Oil company, Frank Rocke- feller became identified with the com- pany, and he served for a time as one of the vice presidents. He acquired conslderablé wealth, but his relations with his brother John became strained and he severed all -connections with kim.. That the gap was a wide one is known by fact that Frank Rocke- feller testified in court in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1912 that he was not on friendly terms ‘with John D. Rocke- feller. In reply to a question from a lawyer as to how much his brother paid- his chauffeurs, Frank Rocke- feller replied: “He and I have not spoken to eab other in twelve vears.” Cause of Brothers’ Quarrel. The trouble between the brothers dates back to the time when John D. Rockefeller first began to amass a fortune from the establishment of his oil monopoly. It is said that it was caused by Frank’s defense of his friend, the late James Corrigan, who died a few years agosa multi-million - aire- Corrigan made his money in iron and steel. In the earl days when John D. Rockefeller flad laid the foundation ‘of his fortune, Cor- rigan was just coming to the financial su . . He needed money for one of his ventures and John D. Rocke- feller let him have it. Corrigan gave as a security a large and valuable track of ore land. It is said that when the time of the loan expired and Corrigan could not pay-he went to Rockefeller and asked him to ex- tend the time. He refused- Rockefeller took over the property, and Corrigan sued, claiming the prop- erty was more valuable than the loan, but Rockefeller won in the courts, and. took title to the land. When Frank Rockefeller learned that his brother would not grant®Cor- rigan an -extension of time he severed all connection with him, and 'with- drew from the Standard Oil company, in which he was then an officer. Al- though the two Rockefellers lived part of each year in Cleveland, they never. spoke. William Rockefeller tried last year to effect a reconcilia- tion, but Frank refused to consider a truce. With great aversion to being called “Johs D. Rockefeller's brother,” Frank Rockefeller, always spoke his mind on the subject. Just as quick was he ‘to resent being called ‘“the other Rockefeller.” ; “I am Frank Rockefeller, stock- man,” he would say, “not Frank Rockefeller, 'a bréther of John D.” MARSHALL FIELD A PRIVATE Heir to $400,000,000 Is Going Into the' Ranks.

New York, April 16.—About ‘one- third of the $10,000,000 fund which the American Jewish relief committee has set out to raise foy Jewish war sufferers has been pledged and the contmittee announced today that it expected to raise the fullamount.

Bagdad, Mesopotamia, via Basra, April 16.—Only a small proportion of the Bagdad shops have yet been opened, and these are half empty. The Jewish merchants say they lost at least $400,000 worth of goods on the morning of March 11, just before the British entry. The cafes in the bazar are still fre- quented by the old clientele, but it is a crowd in which tobacco and coffee are scarce. “The Turks have taken everything,” said a Turkish rabbi. “Even the pigeons on the mosques are getting thin.” Kurds and the rabble even looted the hospitals, carrying off stores, bed- ding, medicines and drugs. The na- tive personnel of the hespital let in their friends and shared the spoil. ‘With this assistance, even lenses were taken from the miscroscopes. Happily the British troops arrived in time to save the beds, or the patients would have been tumbled out on the hard floor. | On the right bank of the river is a scene of scientific havoc. The Ger- man wireles station had just been completed at enormous cost. ‘It was a powerful piant, and was in direct communication with Berlin. It was blown up on the morning of March 11, and the engineer did his work well. statién was carried away; theie wés a huge crater in the center of Lhe floor; one of the giant masts had fallen, crushing a wall, and one of the two great boilers had been blown wup. The money invested in the wire- less, the rallway stations, sidings, workshops, water: towers, cranes and engineering plant must have been millions: The British troops reachea the ‘rallway station at 6 a. m. The last train had gone at 2 a. m. | COLLEGE OFFERED TO COUNTRY.

These details, it now seems practi- cally certain, will be disclosed freely to President Wilson in such a way as to comply with the suggestions af his vote of December 18 asking all the belligerents for such an ‘avowal. ‘While the Allies in their reply gave a skeleton outline of their terms, it was realized at the time that it was not complete and that it probably con- templated the maximum. Discussions here today of America’s prabable terms+ brought from an official source the statement that this country stood unmreservedly on the broad basis outlined in the president’s two addresses—one to the senate, pro- posing a world peace federation, and the other to cangress, advising that a state of war be declared. Those terms invoblve the destruction of the Prussian autocracy, government rest- ing on the consent of the governed, ! freedom of worship, freedom of and i actess to the seas dnd world federa- tion to prévent future wars, ; AMERICAN PLANES 0. K. Just As Good As Those Constructed 4 in Europe. New York, April 16.—Replying to recent criticism of American aero- planes stating they do not embody the fighting strength, speed or reliability and _for these reasons are not being used by the allied armies, an committee, of which Alan R. Hawley, president of the Aero Club of America, is the chairman, reports that the Am- erican planes really are much better than European. The reasons given for their absence from the battle front are two, the inability of American manu- facturers to turn them out in large numbers and failure t& supply the parts, which are constantly in de- mand. The advisory committee on aeronau- tics, ‘which made this investigation, is co-operating with Rear Admiral thaniel R. Usher, commandant of the New London to Barnegat. The efforts f the committee have been directed particularly toward proper protection of shipping and the use of airplanes for U-boat hunting. REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
