ROCKEFELLER is
UNABLE TO TALK

Jekyl Island, Feb. S.-A spasm of
the throat which left William Rookie
feler strangling, trembling old man
on the verge of nervous collapse. alb
ruptly terminated his examination by
Chairman Pujo yesterday. He was
asked just four questions all practi-
cally immaterial, before the attack
forced the conclusion of the hearing.
The aged Standard Oil magnate was
closeted with the committeeman for
only IL minutes. At the end of that
time he was assisted to his couch by
DR.. Walter F. Chappelle, his physi-
clan, who declared his patient ex-
hausted.
Six Months Search Ended.
In Mr. Rockefeller's rooms in the
apartment house, Sans Souci, on the
isolated island owned by an exclu-
sive millionaire's club, the seventy two
year old Standard Oil magnate sub
mitted to questions. There ended the
six months search of the government s
process servers, who sought the reluc-
tant witness from New York to the
Bahamas and who laid siege to his
NEW 1OTk ING net result OIL
the examination so far is the money
trust investigation was concerned,
added practically nothing of value to
the record. 1t did demonstrate to the
satisfaction of Mr. Untemeyer and
Mr.. Pujo that Mr.. Rockefeller hardly
was a fit subject physically for a
gruelling examination as to the de-
tails of his financial career. Mem
bers of the Jekyl Island club and DR.
Chappelle shook their heads doubtful
ly last night when asked about Mr.
| Rockefeller's condition.
Condition Serious. Says Physician.
"Mr. Rockefeller is in very seri-
Gus state" said DR. Chappelle. II,
said a new growth of malignant ma.
| ture recently had formed in Mr.
Rockefeller's throat and that seriou!
developments were to be expected a
any time.
| The trembling hands of the once
| active head of the powerful STANDARD
| Oil group of bankers settled on tn,
arms of his chair as he arose to gree
his visitors. He did not remain stand
ing long, however, and his whispered
word of greeting was inaudible to ever
! those nearest him.

"the desire to have it all ways; to pos

charm and the caprice of the eternal

of her desires and the pettiness Of
conversation, give him an agreeable
sense of superiority, and yet shall, to
order, acquire deep spiritual insight
when her husband feels he needs it. F."

How fast do ducks fly? is a question
that sportsmen have long debated. A
correspondent of Forest and Stream
throws some definite light on It Bust
ness requires him to ride frequently
on a railroad in New York state that
skirts large lake Wild fowl, startled
by the train, will sometimes fly for a
long distance parallel to the track at a
speed the same as that of the train:
hence it was easy, by timing them ana
getting the speed rate of the train from
the conductor. to learn how fast they
were going The rate varied from for
ty-seven miles an hour to a little over
fifty. The belief of gunners that ducks
sometimes travel at the rate of mile
n minute is therefore not far from the
truth.

"LEsT WE FORGET"

The Wallace Miner, whose editor
is no dyspeptic, but loves the good
things of life even when they are
high and costive," feels put out
over the fact that his Thanksgiving
dinner cost more than even last
years, and joys our memory about
certain prediction promises, lest we
forget. He says:
A year ago the democratic party
was voted control of the national gov
eminent. 1t has held the reins for
nine months. For nearly all the lat
ter period congress has been in SEES
sion supposedly to give relief" to
to the people. A democratic promise
upon which the greatest stress has
duce the high cost of living" Con
sequenuy congress was at once call
ed together to repeal the existing
"robber tariff" and the result of it's
work was to give us the nearest ap-
proach to free trade law We have
ever had. We have now been living
under the operation of that law for
several months. Last Thursday was
the first Thanksgiving day under it.
In all the great newspapers of the
country on that day the most con-
spicuous news item sent out by the
Associated Press, under Washington
date, was the following
Thanksgiving dinner will be the
most expensive meal the average Am
erican has eaten in the last 25 years.
1t will cost from 35 to 100 per cent
more than it did 10 years ago and
from Is to so per cent more than
any Thanksgiving day in the last
six years, according to recently gath
cred government statistics"
That information is from the most
reliable source we have. 1t is no
long distance prediction.
But even this would not be so bad
if the paying power were maintained.
In everyday language, if you've "got
the price," the amount doesn't US
ually cause worry. But no observing
man can shut his eyes to the fact
that the great industries of the coun-
try are already feeling damaging eff
fects from the new tariff bill. Shift
the subject as you will, and attribute
adverse conditions to other causes to
be righted by other remedies, the fact
remains that to the extent that We
consume foreign goods in place of
those we ourselves can supply, just
SO far will our country be drained of
money and enforced idleness be
brought to our people. In direct
price the foreign goods may be cheap
because produced by cheap labor, but
measured by the ability OF buy they
are dear at any price to us.
