by PuJo Committee.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Voted for by
all the members of the Pujo commit
tee save Chairman Pujo himself. the
committee, by a resolution, decided
Wednesday that William Rockefeller
may be examined by the chairman
and Samuel Untermyer, the commit
tees counsel, although the examina-
ton will be private and will be held,
in all probability, in the south.
The resolution was based on re-
port by DR.. Richardson Of Washington,
the committees expert.
DR.. Richardson said that he exam
ined Mr. Rockefeller at Miami, Fla,
on Sunday, January II; that no one
else was present, and that he spent
an hour with him. The affidavit pre-
sented by DR.. Chappell, Mr.. Rookie
feller's physician, he said, did not
fully state the case.
'Mr. Rockefellers condition is
more serious than would be supposed
from reading DIR. Chappell's affidavit, ;"

test, he said, showed that Mr.. Rookie
Teller by continued effort could write
only eleven words in two and one-half
minutes.
He said he found a condition of
what is mostly called shaking palsy
which made an examination by writ

Il believe he could be subjected to
short examination orally, without
immediate danger to his life," said
DR.. Richardson. But lengthy exami-

cal cords to a point where a serious
swelling of the larynx might be caused
or a hemorrhage might result that
would end in serious consequences"

stage improvised out of railroad ties.
Margaret Anglin, who was on her
way to Berkeley, where she is to pre-
sent Electra IN the Greek theater of
the University of California, tele-
graphed her manager, Mr.. Shesgreen,
yesterday that, having been delayed
by washout at Carlin, New, her com
pany took advantage of the time and
place and rehearsed the tragedy on a
hillside adjacent to the railroad sta
tion, the place strongly resembling
that upon which stands the acropolis
at Athens.
William Furst. the composer of the
score of Electra" welded a lead

Miss Anglin and her company will
