House Money Trust Committee Gels

of Noted Financier.
.TEKYL ISLAND. Ga.. Feb. 7. A
rpism of the throat that left William
Jlockefeller a strangling, trembling
old man, on the verge of nervous col
lapse, abruptly terminated his exam
ination by Chairman Pujo and Counsel
Samuel Untermyer, of the House money
trust committee, here today.
Mr. Rockefeller was asked Just four
questions, all practically Immaterial,
before the attack forced the conclusion
of the hearing. The aged Standard Oil
magnate was closeted with the com
mitteemen for only 12 minutes. At
th end of the time he was assisted to
Ms couch by Dr. Walter F. Chappelle.
his physician, who declared hla patient
exhausted.
Six Months Search Ends.
In Mr. Rockefeller's apartment In
the Sans Souel Club, on the Isolated
Island occupied by that exclusive mil
lionaires' club, the 72-year-old Stand
ard Oil magnate submitted to the ques
(ions. There ended the six months'
search of the Government process serv
rrs, who sought the reluctant witness
from New York to the Bahamas and
who laid siege to his New York home.
The net result of the examination,
so far as the'money trust Investigation
was concerned, added practically noth
ing of value to the record. It did
demonstrate to the satisfaction of Mr.
I'ntermyer and Mr. Pujo that Mr.
Rockefeller hardly was a fit subject
Physically for a gruelling examination
on the details of his financial career.
Members of the Je-kyl Island Club and
Dr. Walter E. Chappelle shook their
heads doubtfully tonight when asked
about Mr. Rockefeller's physical condi
tion. Coadltloa of Throat Serious.
"Mr. Rockefeller is In a very serious
state," said Dr. Chappelle. He said a
new growth of malignant nature re
cently had formed In Mr. Rockefeller's
throat, and that serious developments
' were to be expected at any time.
The trembling hands of the once
active head of the powerful Standard
Oil group of bankers settled on the
arms of his chair as he arose to greet
his visitors. He did not remain stand
ing long, however, and his whispered
word of greeting was Inaudible to even
those nearest him.
The chair of Mr. Rockefeller was
moved close beside a small table, at
which the official stenographer took
his place.
"You will please be sworn. Mr. Rock
efeller," said Chairman Pujo, but as
the oil magnate endeavored with con
siderable difficulty to arise, the chair
man motioned him back to his seat.
Seated, with his trembling hand uplift
ed, the oil magnate took the oath.
Protest -Made In Writing-
As soon as he was sworn the Stand
ard Oil magnate handed to the sten
ographer a slip of paper, with the
whispered request that the sten
ographer read It.
"I am urgently advised .and warned."
read the stenographer, "by my physi
cian, that this examination Is preca

side me and who will read them aloud.
It is Impossible for me to write them."

This was agreed to and Mr. Unter
myer stated the position oi me com
mittee as follows:
"Mr. Rockefeller, the chairman will
expect you and your physicians to ad
vise us if you feel at any time that
your condition becomes such as to ren
der farther examination Inadvisable."
"What is your residence?" asked Mr.
I'ntermyer.
The strained face of the witness bent
close to the ear of the waiting sten
ographer, who read:
"Six eighty-nine Fifth avenue. New
York City."
"Referring to the statement Just
made by you, Mr. Rockefeller." said
Mr. Untermyer. "it Is currently report

Commanded by Masters of

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. With the
transmission to Congress today by
President Taft of a special State De
partment report compiled by American
Consul Stuart J. Fuller at Iqultos,
Peru, on the Anglo-Saxon exploitations
of South American Indians In the Put
iimnvn district of Peru, conclusions on
the same subject by Frederlco Alfonso
Pezet, Peruvian. Minister to tne unueu
States, were made public by the State
Department.
The latter statement shows that the
Peruvian government has been aware
of every step taken by American Con
sul Fuller, and the Minister gives as
surance that already steps have been
taken by his government for the Im
provement of "conditions In the Putu
mayo territory. Although It was feared
at first that Consul Fuller's efforts
had been made valueless In many re
spects by the espionage of agents of
a British rubber company. State De

In bringing the Putumayo. district

ceived special attention and that the
administration has decided to direct
a bishopric at Quitos and establish
five missions throughout the district.
With the priests from these missions
living among them and Instructing

VOi. Glenn O. HOLM AH,
CHEMISTS XOW PROMISE TO
CREATE MATTER.
Report of Birth of Atom, Made by
British Scientists, Declared to
Hold Momentous Import.
LONDON. Feb. 7. (Special.) The
keenest Interest has been aroused In
the scientific world by the reports of
the birth of an atom made to the
Chemical Society by Professors Ram
say, Collie and Patterson. If further
experiments confirm this. It Is possi
ble that the creation of matter spon
taneously with the birth of an element
like ' helium or neon will be funda
mentally more - important than the
spontaneous birth of life.
Professor Smlthell's declaration that
the papers of Ramsay, Collie and Pat
terson are momentous, and that they
possess greater interest than any hith
erto brought before the Chemical So
ciety Is regarded as specially signifi
cant, because he Is known as a cau
tious chemist, and It was among chem
ista that the largest amount of skep
ticism over Ramsay's previous experi
ments was manifested.
"My discovery points the way for a
change of one form of matter sup
posed to be Incapable of it into an
other," said Professor Ramsay tonight.
"Does It mean, for instance, you will
be able to change lead Into gold?"
Ramsay was asked.
"I do not know," was the reply. "The
cost would probably be too great to
make It worth while. The Importance
of the discovery Is that we have de
ciphered another line in the book of
nature and opened the door to further
discoveries."
Professor J. Norman Collie said to
night: "Yes, we have finally achieved
the transmutations of elements and
have also accomplished it artificially.
We have now reached a stage whence
I am able to say It will be possible to
transmute any element, provided we
are able to generate sufficient energy.
"It is likely now that the future
will see the dream of the ancient al
chemists fulfilled. , The invention of
the atomic theory killed their specula
tions, but, now we shall be obliged to
discard the atomlo theory.'
ACTRESS TAKES ICY DIVE
Portland Girl Plunges Into Bay
From Tacoma Span for "Movies."
TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 7. (Special.)
From a poise atop the center span
of the old Eleventh-street Bridge today
Miss Vivian Marshall, aged 19. of Port
land, appearing at a local vaudeville
house, dived 75 feet into the icy waters
of Commencement Bay and swam near
ly 100 yards to the launch where her
mother was waiting for her.
Miss' Marshall's dive Is unique, it
was especially performed for the
"movies." Since the old span's earliest
day it has been the chosen place for
the despondent and unfortunate to end
their sufferings, and many have taken
the same dive as that of the daring
young swimmer this morning, with a
far different purpose. No other person
will ever take the plunge from the old
bridge. It is being fast dismantled.
TUTTLE RETURNS TO JAIL
Man Freed to Bury Wife Voluntarily
Goes Back to Finish Term.
After having been released by the
Federal authorities from temporary
service of a sentence In the County
Jail, for selling liquor to an Indian,

ton Tuttle gave himself up yesterday
to complet three weeks more of his
sentence.
He had been released previously to

when she was critically ill with con
sumption, and at her death he was
again allowed to arrange for her fu

children.
Tuttle, while acting as a barkeeper,

Days of grace for , the automobile

are growing few. Arguing that five
weeks Is fully sufficient time for the
Issuance of the -10.000 licenses required
in the state, the police have com

The number of 1912 licenses still ex

though it has been decreasing with
each week. -
The police complain that they have
not yet received any list of the new
licenses and up to the present the only
means of learning the name of the
owner of an automobile is by applica

Arrangement Is Said to Be Sat
isfactory to All Parties. i
BOSTON, Feb. T. Litigation orsr the.
bequest of $2,000,000 made to the First
Church of Christ. Scientist, of Boston,
by Mrs. Mary Baker C Eddy ended to
day when her natural heirs Joined with
the trustees of the churoh in proposed
decrees entered In the several courts
Involved.
Coincident with this action the Mas
sachusetts House concurred with the
Senate In an enabling aot, which per
mits the mother church to accept and
use the money for the advancement of
Christian Science as directed by its
founder.
Four stipulations compose the de
crees which were entered simultaneous
ly in the courts of Massachusetts and
New Hampshire and the Federal Court
for the District of Jew Hampshire.
Ilrlra Abaadosj Suit a.
In these, George VT. Glover, of Lead,
S. D and F. J. Foster Eddy, of Water-
bury, Vt.. son and adopted son of Mrs.
Eddy, abandon their suits for a share
in the estate and renounce their claims
to money left the church.
The trustees on thetr part consent
that the administrator shsll pay 15000
for the assignment of the son's con
tingent right to renew in their lifetime
the copyrights upon their mother's pub
lished works. They further consent
that the trustees holding $173,000
(which Is the trust fund portion of the
1290,000 settled on them by Mrs. Eddy
In 1909 in lieu of their share of the
estate) shall not further claim that
their rights in that fund were forfelten
by their action In subsequent court
proceedings. As one of the attorneys
representing Glover and Foster Eddy,
Herbert Parker said tonight:
"The stipulations from the viewpoint
of the heirs finally and conclusively
terminate all present litigation and
preclude the 'possibility of further liti
gation by them with respeot to the dis
position of the estate.
Termlnatlosi la Amicable,
"The termination of this litigation
has been brought about amicably and
voluntarily on the part of the heirs,
and all parties have Joined In mutual
consent to the entry of the proposed
decrees in the several courts."
It Is maintained by both parties that
no consideration other than that shown
in the stipulations influenced the re
tirement of the heirs from a contest
that has occupied the courts for mora
than two years.
Mrs. Eddy died at Newton, Mass De
cember 4. 1910. Her will, which dis
posed of an estate of about t2.SOO.000,
left apparently 12,000.000 in trust to
the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of
Boston. The two sons, who a year be
fore her death had received from Mrs.
Eddy $290,000 In satisfaction of all
claims against her estate, attacked the
will In January, 1911, Invoking statutes
of New Hampshire and Massachusetts,
which limit bequests to churches to
sums returning annual Incomes of not
more than JiOoO and $2000 In the re
spective states. Eventually the ques
tion of the validity of the will reached
the Supreme Courts of both states.
In New Hampshire the will was up
held. The Supreme Court of Massa
chusetts ruled that the $2,000,000 as a
bequest could not be received by the
mother church, but at the same time
declared that the will of the bene
ficiary should be respected. That this
might be accomplished the trustees of
the church obtained the introduction in
the Legislature of the enabling act
passed today.
CHCKCH ATTORNEY SlTtPIUSED
Sons' Withdrawal of Denunciation
of Christian Science Pleases.
CONCORD, N. H., Feb. 7. General
Frank S. Streeter, who represented tli
Christian Science Church in the agree
ment for the discontinuance of t!i3
action brought to break the will of
Mrs. Eddy, said tonight:
"In view of the-denunciatory allega
tions in the court pleadings of Mrs.
Eddy's two sons against her, her re
ligion and the officials of her church,
the recent proposal of their counsel to
end that litigation came to us as an
agreeable surprise. It was especially
gratifying that Mr. Parker willingly
should agree that the sons' pleadings
should be so amended as to contain no
allegations reflecting on Mrs. Eddy or
on the religion of Christian Science or on
the integrity and good faith of her
associates, counsel and truatees and
that all said allegations shall be ex
punged from the record."
