SILENCE FOR LIFE IS
SENTENCE Of MAGNATE
SPECIALIST SAYS W. RockEFELLER
MUST BE spEEc4Lgss REST OF
y = HIS DAYS

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.--William Rookie
feller will probably never be able to APP
pear as witness in the finance inquiry
being conducted by the Pujo committee
at Washington, in the opinion of DR..
Walter F. Chappell, his physician The
only, way he could answer questions on
the witness stand would be in writing,
for speech might result in strangulation,
so serious is the condition of Mr.. Rocke-
feller's throat, according to the physi-
clans statements published here today.
DR.. Chappell practically said Mr.. Rock
efeller must be. silent for the remainder
of his life. In the. Bermudas, where Mr.
Rockefeller is now resting, he is keeping
quiet, and it is declared that his every
little wish has to be written, for every
effort to speak involves the hazard Of a
laryngeal ,snasm.
II have come to the conclusion thas
Mr.. Rockefeller's trouble IS chronic" said
DR.. Chappell, "and that he must subject
himself to Silent treatment for the re-
mainder of his days. This is not new
treatment, but simply means rest cure
for the larynx. 1t must be remembered
that Mr.. Rockefeller is past 10 years old,
and. in my opinion he will never be ply
sically able to appear on witness stand;
in fact, probably not even for written
examination, as his hands tremble SO that
1t is difficult for him to write legibly''

Fewer members have gone home dur
ing the first recess of legislature than
has ever been the case before since state
hood The reason for this Is probably the
lack Of railroad passes, as this Is the
first legislature when passes have nor
been issued to members by the railroad
companies Of course, there are num-
ber who are on advisory committees with
either the speaker of the house or the
president of the senatc and they are
busy looking after committee appoint
ments which will be announced after the
recess or on next Tuesday morning.
The speaker of the house, Col. }. H..
Frame, of Grafton, has a large sized
job on his hands as he had eighty new
members and of these seventy have nev-
er served in the house before. The
speaker naturally knows nothing of the
ability of these new members and 1t
will be hard to place them on the COM
mittees where they will do the most
good In speaking of the situation today
Mr., Frame said;s 1T looks to me now
as II it would take right up to the time
the house is called to order again to
get the committees named. There are,
of course. a few who have served before
and it will be easy to place them, but

Polly Ann Maxwell, plaintiff, vs..
Aaron Maxwell, defendant.
To Aaron Maxwell, defendant:
You are hereby notified, that the
petition Of plaintiff in the above en-
titled cause, is now ON file in the
office of the Clerk of the District
Court of the State of Iowa, In and
for Decatur county, praying that the
bonds of matrimony heretofore ex-
listing between plaintiff and defend
ant be dissolved; that plaintiff be re-
stored to all of the right and privl-
leges of an unmarried person, and al
leges as grounds therefor. that plain
tiff and defendant were legally mar
ried in Decatur county, Iowa, on the
14th day of March, 1880 and lived
together as husband and wife until
on or about the 18th day Of Febru-
airy, 1912, and that plaintiff and de-
PENDANT lived during the greater part
of their married life in Decatur
county, Iowa, with their ,postofi1ce
address at Davis City or Pleasanton
in said county.
That defendant since his marriage
with plaintiff in violation of his mar
riage vows has been guilty OF such
cruel and inhuman treatment of this
plaintiff as to endanger her life and
praying for such other and further
relief as may be just and equitable
in the premises and for costs.
For full and complete statement
of plaintiffs cause of action see petit

to and defend before noon of the Sec

cent is the revenue, of government
bond on which the bank Is permitted
to issue bank notes. The annual
loss of this revenue on 100000
would be $4,000.
If the bankers are forced to bor-
row money from the regional re-
serve banks, the money will be taxed.
Bankers claim that this Is the worst
feature of the bill because no bank
er will borrow money to reloan. A
banker who is not national banker
said:
THE position Of the banker is
that he wants some place that he can
go to when there Is heavy demand
for money and rediscount the paper
he has accepted. In other words, he
wants place he can get more money
to loan out after he has loaned out
all his own available cash. In the
same breath he says that he will not
borrow money for the pleasure OF
loaning it to someone else. Where
is the consistency?
Object to Tax.
Again objection is made to the
tax on the money. The bank gets
profit on the money it loans out;
why should not the reserve institu-
ton? How can the regional bank be
success unless it derives a profit
from the money loaned? the inter-
est charged for the use of the mon
ey is made heavy purposely in order
to hurry it out of circulation.
"The banks should get more than
5 per cent on their investment and
the maturity of the paper on which
loans are made should be more than
forty-five days as proposed. NO
banker can get his money back in
forty-five days because the business
man cannot turn his goods over in
that short period. The short period
on which the federal money is to be
issued is really the greatest objec-
ton to the bill and I think this is
one of the features that will have to
be remedied.
"Some of the banks claim that
they will surrender their national
charters and do business under the
state law because they will not be
able to do business under the ad-
ministration bill, but they made
similar talks against the postal saw
ings banks. The postal banks really
are a help to the savings banks
