ROCKEFELLER IS VERY WEAK
Man Wanted by Money Probers Proves
to Be Really III.


to Be Really III.
Miami, Fla, Jan. 13.-Trembling as
with palsy, and apparently very weak,
William Rockefeller, wanted as a wit
ness before the Pujo money trust in
vestigating committee, landed here
from Nassau.
Mr. Rockefeller, his wife and son,
William, Jr., were the first passengers
to leave the boat. The party was
driven to the Royal Palm hotel, where
q short time afterwards the millionaire
was examined by DR.. C. w. Richard
son, an expert on throat diseases, on
behalf of the government, in the pres
ence of Dr. Chappelle and Mr.. Rookie
feller's two sons.
1t is impossible to learn the result
of the examination, cards that had
been sent to the rooms of the physi-
clans being returned with the state
ment that there was nothing to say.
It is said that Mr.. Rockefeller Is
partly paralyzed in the lower jaw, pre-
venting free speech, and will leave
direct for New York. This indicates
that his contention of physical inabil-
ity to testify as a witness has been
sustained by the examination of the
governments doctor.

Blairstown, N. j., Jan. 13.-Morrs A
Smith, of Yonkers, a student fell from
a fourth-story window in dormitory
at Blair hall and sustained injuries
that may cause his death.
In violation of the rules of the insti-
tuition, Smith remained in the room of
a fellow student until after II o'clock.
He was about to return to his own
room when he heard one of the pro-
fessors coming through the hallway.
Fearing detection, he opened the win.
dow and climbed out on the sill, in
tending to remain there until the in
structor had passed.
Nervousness is believed to have
caused Smith to lose his footing, and
he plunged to the sidewalk. When
picked up he was unconscious. He is
injured internally, has a broken leg, a
sprained ankle and many other in
juries.

I"To me there is a certain charm
in the personality of Senator Lee,
accentuated by his fearless devo-
ton to public duty, which has de-
veloped a personal regard closely
akin to affection. But this does
not determine my course with re-
speet to his candidacy.
Subject, as we may, his political
career to the most severe tests,
Senator Lee, since the death of Gov.
Crothers, stands out above all 9TH
ers as the man of the hour. His
public record for the last 8 years
stamps him as the leader of the
progressive Democracy of the State
at the present time.
From his entrance into the
State Senate he began to secure,
against great odds, the enactment
into law of measures which then
seemed to be out of joint with the
times. But looking backward now
we can all see that at that early
date he was leading in this State
movement for the restoration of
popular control, such as kindred
spirits in other States were at work
upon, and that he and they were
then following the soil and planting
the seed which resulted in the glori-
Gus harvest of 1912-Democratic
control of both branches of Con-
gress and Woodrow Wilson as
President.
"a failure to avail ourselves of
the services of such man for the
United States Senate at this par
ticular time would seem to be a re-
Election upon our capacity to take
care of ourselves and a demonstra-
ton Of a lack of appreciation on
the part TO the Democratic party of
the State, which I cannot believe to
be possible in the present condition
of the public mind.
without i'll will to any other
rival candidate and with due re-
spect to all elements of the party
which have contributed to my cleo
ton to Congress, I may say that
Mr. Lee stands for what / believe
to be right and that in every legiti-
mate way he will have my earnest
and unqualified support in his can
didacy for the United States Sen

Third base stars in big worlds
series games. "Home Run" Frank
Baker Of the Athletics and lat
lefty Herzog Of the Giants.
It was "Home Run" Frank
Baker, the Athletics third base
man, whose bludgeon made pos
stble the winning of two games in
the worlds series Of 1911, be-
tween the same teams which will
struggle for the supremacy this
fall.
In the second game, with PLANK
and Marquard pitching, Baker
poled the ball over the right field
fence and scored Collins ahead of
him. In the third game he
caught one of Mathewson's curves
on the inside of the plate and
dropped it into the Giants pavil-
ion for another trip around, tieing
the score in the ninth. The Ath-
letics won in the 18th on errors
by Herzog and Fletcher.
Both Herzog and Baker are i'm
proved players now. Both have
been through the fire, Baker in
one and Herzog in two worlds
series. Both are hitting the BAH
better and the struggle between
them promises to be keenly con-
tested. Herzog hit 400 against
Boston last fall.

G|ROT IS THE VICTIM
Of 4 TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE
IN THE SEVENTH CANTATl

BY JAMES w. EGAN
Philosophers tell us that life is a very uncertain
proposition. Believe us, it has nothing on the Vic
toria Honeymakers.
F'rinstance, they will jog along through a ball
game for divers and sundry innings, with the other
team leading by a couple Of runs, and apparently q
winner. And just about the time you are figuring
on telling the guy who missed the game how good
"our pitcher" was and the bright features Of the
game 1--WE won"-bing! it happens. 81
Throughout six innings yesterday Jerry Girot,
wearing a look of hope and confidence, a pleasant
and a baseball uniform, had but to wave hs
starboard flipper and the Bee sticksmiths would
fade away. During those selfsame six cantos our
noble Tigers had sunk their claws into Narveson fof
a brace Of runs, and the fans, ~rooters, bugs, nuts, etc,
were looking as happy as a valley farmer at the
Pnyallup fair.
Alas! Little rocked they of the dire fate in store.

FROZEN NORTH
TO START SOON
OF AGRICULTURE
WILL SEND A BIOLOGIST ON
TRIP TO BE HEADED BY ViLH-
JALMUR STEFANSSON - CAPT.
BARTLETT WILL COMMAND
"THE kARLUk."
BY WINFIELD JONES,

Washington, May 31-Fritz johann
| sen, Norwegian biologist, recently an
| expert in the department of agricui-
| ture, has been detailed for the scien-
| tific arctic exploring expedition Of
| Vilhjalmur Stefansson.
In command of the karluk, the ship
| in which Stefansson hopes to pursue
the quest of the possible million square
| miles of Arctic continent. will be Capt.
Robert Bartlett.
Captain Bartlett was the captain for
Admiral Peary, discoverer of the North
Pole, on the ship Roosevelt. Grown
lonesome for the vast silences of the
frozen North, Capt Bartlett has already
started out of New York, according to
information received today by the Ma
tional Geographic Society here-the
society which, with the American
Museum of Natural History, sought to
back Stefansson's expedition until the
Canadian government offered to bear
the entire expense.
Mr.. Johansen, the biologist from this
city, who will be the exploring party,
had been connected with the depart
ment of agriculture for about two
years. He is known as a specialist
in fishes and lower forms of animal
life. He had a part in the Myths
Erickson East Greenland expedition,
which completed the mapping of
Greenland.
IF this expedition is successful"
says Stefansson, sit win close forever
the geogra phical chapter of discoveries
on this earth, which was begun by
Columbus. l am going to try to wipe
a vast area of 100000 square miles
off the face of the UNEMPLOYED map.
1--WE shall sail north along the 141st
meridian to find the hypothetical land.
If we do not find it we shall turn back.
1t may well be. however, that on re-
turning, if we miscalculate at all, we
shall be caught in the ice, frozen in
for the winter, and drift involuntarily
wherever that dense area of ice packed
tightly about our ship happens to take
us. Probab bly, we shall drift northwest
in a circle between Asia and the north
pole thus doing involuntarily what
Amundsen intends to do purposely a
year after we start. 1t may we'll be
that in that drifting in the northern
ice, the men of his and our expedition
will meet.
IF the world does not hear from
us in all that time, it will mean that
we have miscalcula ted in the manner
have mentioned and are caught in
the pack ice on our way back.
Il do not anticipate any great danger
in such a case. 1t was in view Of such
contingency that L was anxious to
get get a man like Captain Bartlett
to take command of our ship. He is a
man who is not afraid of hurting his
ship, and not eager to save it at the
expense of the expedition. He goes
eheerfully into such a hazard, risking
the crushing of his stout vessel in the
gigantic tightening grasp of the ice
that will freeze for miles and miles
around it. If the worst came to the
worst and the ship were crushed to
bits, we could still walk or sledge
across the ice to safety.
Nor do I fear the danger of shortage

Investigating
West Virginia.

Considerable plausible objection has
been raised to the investigation by con-
gress of affairs in West Virginia on
the plea that state has a right to
conduct it's domestic affairs to suit it
SELF In the abstract, that is a valid
reason, but a state has no right to
violate the constitution of the United
States and all the rights of humanity
at the same time in its conduct of af-
fairs
More than suspicion exists that the
constitution and the law have never
had great weight in West Virginia
The state was created in utter disre-
gard for the constitution and it has
been popular.y believed that, ever
since, it's chief use has been to permit
indicators of great wealth to exploit
the wonderfully rich resources of that
mountain empire.
1t is openly charged that peonage
fiourishes there to a great extent; that
the immigration laws are violated;
that the Sherman law is f1agrantly
violated and that the constitution is
disregarded in many ways.
At any rate, for months martial law
has been declared and the right of
trial by jury taken away from the peo-
pie. 1t is high time that congress or
some other power looked into the con-
dition of affairs in that trust ridden
state.

CHANGES IN STATE
PENSION LAW DESIRED

Beulah, May %, 1918.
Editor Pensacola Journal
Please let us who are interested in
the old Confederate soldier know if
anything has been done in the legis-
leture now in session to repeal the law
making Is years residence in the state
necessary before they can draw a pen
sion. A petition of over 700 names
was sent in from this county, so 1 have
been informed asking that the time
limit be reduced to 5 years residence
in the state.
The Confederate soldier has the
Oldest and most just claim against the
South today and if something is not
done soon for them there will not be
much use doing anything. They won't
have long to stay, for most of them,
Ike myself, are past 70, and don't, I'M
der the present law, have much to stay
for.
