Rockafeller Cannot Talk

NEW YORK, Jan. 1O.-William
Rockefeller will not testify before the
PujO committee, despite subpoenas ana
medical commissions. If he did he
would suffocate in five minutes, ac-
cording to DR.. Walter F. Chappell,
Rockefellers throat specialist.
''He is in no condition to talk TO
his friends and relatives and it would
be impossible for him to talk to 2
commission" said Chappell.
Although he refused to say where
the millionaire was, DR.. Chappell as
serted that it would mean certain death
were he to attempt to speak for even
five minutes. Rockefeller's only chance
for life lies in remaining dumb for an
indefinite period, according to his ply
sician.

The managers Of the Mississippi

mined to give Negro exhibitors larger
opportunity than has been theirs In
years past. They permitted the erec-
tion of Negro building by Negro con-

from Negro schools but also individu-

last two Of the ten days Of the fair as
Negro days. with provision for Ne

ed by speakers Of both races. athletic
contests and defamation contest. all
Of which were successful.
The results have been altogether
happy. The Negro building was filled

that It created astonishment among
the white folks is expressing It very
mildly. Honestly. you've got to hand
It to the colored folks.
"They have set an example Of civic
pride. enthusiasm In behalf Of the
state fair and pride for their native
state that white folks could we'll emu

An Immense audience Of both white
and colored people gathered for the

addresses from prominent citizens Of
both races that were able and full Of
good feeling.
