Aged Man Assisted to Couch Strangling
and Trembling-Standard Magnate
Was Very Weak.

Jekyl Island, Ga.--A spasm OF the
throat that left William Rockefeller 4
stranglng, trembling old man, on the
verge OF nervous collapse, abruptly ter
minated his examination by Chairman
Pujo and Counsel Samuel Untermycr, OF
the house money trust committee. here.
Mr.. Rockefeller was asked just four
questions, all practically immaterial, be-
fore the attack forced the conclusion OF
the hearing. The aged Standard Oil
magnate was closeted with the commit
teemen for just twelve minutes. AT the
end of the time he was assisted to his
couch by DR.. Walter +. Chappell, his
physician, who declared his patient eX-
hausted.
In plainly, but elegantly furnished
room i'll William Rockefelers apartment
i'll the apartment house, Sans Souci, on
the isolated island that forms the es-
tate OF the exclusive Aillionaire's Club
OF Jekyl Island, the 72-year-old Standard
Oil magnate submitted to the questions

ended the six mouths search of the gov

Grafton to his cabinet. which still re-
mains unannounced. He neither attend
ed church in the morning, nor went for
his accustomed walk in the afternoon.
When the spondents called at his
cottage in the evening he asked to be
excused and remained in his room mp
stairs. A message was sent to him ask
ing him if he would make any comment
on the action of Gen. Wood in sending
out invitations to the Inauguration OF
Thomas Woodroe Wilson, He replied
that he knew nothing about the matter.
1t is thought probable, however, he will
have something to say about the revival
OF his first name.
The president-elect dropped the pre-
fix years ago. All the New Jersey state
documents are signed "Woodrow," and
that is the name by which he was elect
ed president

GREEK FLEET MAY
ENTER DARDANELLES
ATTACKS OF ALLIES UPON ADRIAN
OPLE WILL BE CONTINUED.
TURKEY IN NEED OF FUNDS
Situation in ConstantnoPe Is Desperate
Janina Would Have Surrendered
but for Influence Of Austrian
Consul

LonIon.--'rhe Bulgarians are dcvoting
their chief attention to the bombardmcnt
Of Adrianoplc and an attempt to cap
ture the Gallipo!i peninsula and so take
the Turkish forts in the rear.
An official dispatch issued at Constan
tinople indicates that the Bulgarians
have been successful in their first opcr-
ations in the latter quarter, and, accord
ing to a Sofia dispatch, the capture Of
Gallipoli is the chief object OF the Bul-
garian ambitions for the time being.
Should the BuIgarians capture the
Turkish forts there is nothing to prevent
the Greek fleet from entering the Dar
danelles where, in the opinion of naval
officials, it could easily defeat the in
terror Turkish fleet, in which case Con-
stantinople would be at the mercy of the
allies.
The Daily Telegraph published long
dispatch from its correspondent, Ellis
Ashmcad Bartlett, at Constantnople, iK
which he says the Turkish people are
in such a state of misefy and destitution
as result of the war that they are com
plctely indifferent as to the fate of
Adrianople.
There is not cent in the treasury
and there are no means of getting money
until peace is concluded, and, meanwhile
the country is drifting to ruin and bank.

JAN|TOR CONFESSES
NUMBERING Three
JOHN PAUL FARRELL CONFESSES
He KILLED MRS. HERRERA.
INSANE, BUT STORY TRUE
Every Time He Had Grudge He Settled
1t With Bomb-Fearing He Would
Lose His Job, He Sent Bomb
to Herrera.

New York. John Paul Farrell, Il dis.
charged apartment house isnitor, con-
fessed that he had killed Mrs. Bernard
Herrera by means of a bomb he had
made, and that by similar means he had
caused the death of Mrs. Helen Taylor
year ago and attempted the life OF
Judge Otto A. Rosalsky of the court OF
general sessions. Farrell was held on
charge of murder for the killing OF
Mrs. Herrera.
Although the police are convinced the
man is mentally unbalanced detectives
have learned enough to lead them to be-
lieye Farrelfs startling story is true
in the essentials, though false in many
details.
Every time Farrell had a grievance he
seems to have settled the business with
bomb. The trouble with Mrs. Herrera,
he said, was that she fired him from
his job as janitor and hired negro N
his place. lie wanted to get Judge Ro'
sasky out of the way because the jurist
had sentenced Joseph Harvey, pal,
to serve 50 years i'll Sing Sing.
Why Farrell wanted to kill the Taylor
woman was more than the police could
iathom. In his early story Farrell said
she was his daughter and he slew her be
cause she hau gone wrong. Later he
recanted and said she was All intimate
friend, but gave no reason for killing

FELIX DIAz FREED

DIAZ, AFTER BEING LIBERAIED'
LED ATTACK AGAINST CASTLE.
BATTLE FOUGHT IN SQUARE
Many of Loyal Troops Revolt, and
Rebels Take Arsenal-Four Sep
arate Engagements-Gen.
Reyes Lost His Life.

Mexico City.-The army in revolt III
Mexico City Sunday took possession OF
the public buildings, shot down federal
adherents in the streets, released Gen.
Felix Diaz, leader OF the Vera Cruz re-
volt, from prisoh, and, falling INTO me
under his banner, practically captured
the Mexican capital.
Francisco Madero president OF tho
republic, and members of his cabinet
took refuge in the national palace, where
they were be,icged, but with some loyal
troops at their back succeeded in de-
Tending the palace from the assaults OF
the revohtionists.
Madero's family has taken refuge i'll
the Japanese legation, and the president
is making fight desperate i'll its ci-
forts against what appears to be enor-
nous odds for retention of his power.
Gen. Diaz, who is the nephew OF the
d.posed president, is now at the head
OF a majority of the capital troops, i'll
Guiding most of the artillery, and is in
possession OF the arsenal in the city and
the powder works nearby.
Madero is relying on the loyalty OF
Gen. Banquet, who has been summoned
from Toluca, 40 miles distant; but Blan-
quct has only l,V00 men under his COM
mand, and the rebels are confident OF
defeating him should he refuse to JOIN
the revolt.
The day was marked by four sep
arate engagements, the most sanSuinary
of which took place in front of the ma
tioual palace. But the most important
was that which terminated in the for
NAL surrender of the troops in the astil-
lery barracks.
The muntinous troops were led by stu
dents of the military school at Tialpama,
a suburb. They marched to the prison
to which Gen. Felix Diaz had been trans
ferrcd for safekeeping and released him.
Gen. Bernardo Reyes was also freed from
the Santiago military prison, there be-
ing no resistance in either quarter.
To the army of the mutineers quickly
came portions of the First Cavalry,
Twentyfourth Cavalry and Twentieth
Infantry. Gen. Manuel Mondragon, re-
tired, was in command, but gave way
to Gems. Diaz and Reyes.

UNCLE SANS SCALE or TIPS.


That the tip Is an established insti.
tuition In the United States is conced.
ed by that serious agency OF govern.
ment, the federal treasury depart
ment- 1t has promulgated an order
specifying the tips that its employees
may include In their travelling ex-
penses while transacting public busi-
ness. Some may be inclined to ac-
cept the governments scale OF tips. as
they accept the governments weights
and measures, as establishing the
standard. The treasury department of
q national administration that has
tried to make specially Of efficiency
and economy permits an employe in
New York or Chicago to tip the per
son who brings his meals to him not
more than so cents day. He may
spend like sum for this service In
any one of score OF other cities Of
considerable size, the names Of
which are specified For the service
OF sleeping car porters he may spend
25 cents a day and Of chair car por-
ters Is cents day. If,he crosses the
Atlantic ocean he may use $40 for
stewards fees; going to or from Ha-
wall he may give the steward SIS:
going to or from Panama or Porto
Rico, SO. He is not allowed to give
baggagemen or porters more than rs
cents on his arrival at or departure
from hotels, wharves. railroad sta
tions and such places. Tipping is q
serious matter to many an American
OF small resources, says the Chicago
Daily News. Not few persons wish
they had the federal treasury behind
them to stand the expense of tips
when they travel. 1t may comfort
them somewhat to know that the
treasury itself parcels out the tip!
