ADR|AN0PLE IS!
BEING SHELLED
FROM REPORTS BUlGARlANS
HAVE BEST OF CONFLICT so
FAR IN OPERATION.

London.-The Bulgarians are devot-
ing their chief attention to the bonn
bardnent of Adrianople and an at;
tempt to capture the Gallipoh penin-
sula and so take the Turkish forts in
the rear. An official dispatch issued
at Constantinople indicates that the
Bulgarians have BEEN successful in
their first operations in the latter
quarter, and according to a Sofia dis
patch, the capture of Gallipoli is the
chief object of the Bulgarians ambi'
tions for the time being.
The same dispatch says that the
Bulgarian attack on Gallipoli is sup
ported by the Greek navy in the Gull
of Saros. Fifty thousand Bulgarians
were landed along this coast last NO
vember, and it may be presumed tha'
during the armistice this force was
strengthened by artillery.
Should the Bulgars capture tne
Turkish. forts, there is nothing to pre-
vent the Greek fleet from entering tne
Dardanelles, where in the opinion o.
naval officials, it easily could defea'
the inferior Turkish fleet, in whicf
case Constantinople would be at tn'
mercy Of the allies.

PUJ0 HEARS ROCKEFELLER
Aged Millionaire Collapsed After
Few Questions Were Asked.

Jekyi Island, Ga.-A spasm of the
throat that left William Rockefeller
a strangling, trembling old man, On
the verge Of a nervous collapse, ao-
ruptly terminated his examination by
Chairman Pujo and Counsel Samuel
Untermeyer of the house Money Trust
Investigating Committee here.
Mr.. Rockefeller was asked just four
questions, all practically immaterial,
before the attack forced the conclusion
OF the hearing trse aged Standard
Oil magnate was closeted with the
committee for just IL minutes. AT
the end of the time has was assisted
to his couch by DR.. Walter F. Chappell,
his physician, who declared his patient
exhausted.
in the elegantly furnished room in
William Rockefeller's apartment in
the apartment house Sans Soucf on
the isolated island that forms the es-
tate of the exclusive Millionaires' Club
of Jekyl Island, the 72-year-old Stand
ard Oil magnate submitted to the
question.
There ended the six months search
o. the government process servers
who bounded the reluctant witness
from New York to the Bahamas and
who lay seige to his New York town
house.
The net result of the examination
so far as the money trust investiga
ton was concerned, added practically
nothing of value to the record. 1t die
demonstrate to the satisfaction of Mr
Untermeyer and Mr.. Pujo that Mr.
Rockefeller was hardly fit subjec
physically for a grneling cross ex
animation on the details of Of his ii
nancial career. Members of the Jeky
Island club and DR.. Walter F. Chap
pell shook their heads doubtfully whel
asked about Mr.. Rockefellers physica
condition.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The eyes of the en-.
tire Unxed States are riveted upon
Arkansas these days. Awaiting with
openmouthed expectation, the amazed
populace is wondering what political
miracle Yill next be wrought and what
record next will be broken. Judging
the future by the past month, there is
no telling what may be pnloosed from
the political Pandora's box of Arkan.
sas. The Washington Post takes its
typewriter in hand and arises to re
mark that Those Arkansas senators
are coming so fast they look like a
parade"
In two years, from 1907 to 1909, Ark
ansas startled the entire civilized
world by having seven governors, as
follows: Jeff Davis, J. S. Little, John
|. Moore, X. o. Pindall, Allen Hami'
ter, Jesse Martin and George W. Dona'
ghey. If Colonel Roosevelt had only
been conversant with Arkansas his
tory it would have been unnecessary
for him to look beyond Arkansas to
pick seven governors" to act as his
advance agents, providing, of course
he could have induced the Arkansans
to have followed in his wake-which
of course, he would have been unable
to do.
But the Arkansas governor inciden'
pales into significance with what later
transpired. Within the past few weeks
ever since the the death of Senator
Jeff Davis, things have been happen
ing in Arkansas. Within two month:
the state will have had five United
States senators-five, count 'em-Sen
ators Clarke, Davis, Heiskell, kavan
augh and Robinson.
