William E. Curtis, the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record-Herald, quotes John D. Rockefeller as saying that he is not only in favor of Mr. Roosevelt's proposed anti-trust legislation, but that ever since his indictment in Texas some years ago for violating the anti-monopoly law of that state, he has been "trying to devise some method of placing the Standard Oil company under the jurisdiction of the federal government."
