in conviction and he was sentenced
to the penitentiary for life The Mis-
souri, supreme court remanded tho
case to the lower court and ordered
another trial. The second trial which
began in October. 1911, ended sud
denly in December, 1911, when Harry

This was the opinion given today
by DIR. Richardson, the committees

He said a long examination might

DR. Richardson gave it as his opin-
ion that If the committee desired to

of very great Importance, Rockefeller
could endure about two hours ordeal

Chairman Pujo announced that the
money trust committee would decide
during the recess whether RockefeL
Ter would be called to testify
The expert said that, although
Rockefeller's vocal cords were badly
affected, his voice could be heard for
twenty feet. He said that the million-
aire was victim Of shaking palsy,
which would make 1t impossible to
conduct an examination In writing.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Jan. 15.-In
order to complete the details of the
agreement between the democratic
and republican members for the organ
ization Of the senate, an adjournment
was taken oy the upper branch at
10:3o this morning until four o'clock
this afternoon. Caucuses Of demo-
cratic and republican members in
separate rooms convened at once.
The negotiations between these two
parties will be informal. There will
be conferences by members of the
committees and each side will know
what the other side expects. The re-
publicans announced that they intend
to be absolutely fair in the distribn-
ton OF honors. In all probability SEN
ator Walter I. Nanny, leader OF the
democrats, will be elected president
pro tenn. The democrats will also be
given the chairinanship Of the com.
imittee on appropriations and the 9TH
er committee chairmanships will be
distributed equally.
At o'clock 1t is believed everything
will be in readiness for the compile
tion Of the senate organization. While
the democrats and republicans were
in caucus. Senators Jones and Harris,
the two progressives. sat alone in the
senate chamber and held a little
caucus all their own.
The situation in the house this
morning was not materially changed
on the speakership. In spite of the
pyrotechnics on the democrat side
yesterday evening, the first ballot of
the morning, the thtrty-first, showed
but little change. Karch is still en-
deavoring to show greater strength,
but the Rapp and Hubbard forces are
standing firm.
