GOES TOSENATE
Keystone Women Confident Leg
islation Will Pass
HOUSE APPROVES, 131 TO 70
If Legislature Indorses Amendment t
Goes to Next Legislature, a Second
Indorsement Sending It to People.
The state senate, often referred to
as the "graveyard" for legislation, wlii
now get the constitutional amendment
giving equal suffrage to women. The
suffragists in Harrisburg who are in
Jubilant mood because the house In
dorsed the proposition are confident
the amendment will meet with the ap
proval of the august senate.
The vote In the houae agreeing to
the amendment was 131 to 70. If the
senate pastes the legislation and the
next legislature again approves the
question will go to the people In 1915.
Representative Rockwell of Tioga,
fatner of the resolution, made a plea
for its acceptance.
"Nine states now have eipial suf
frage on all elections and twenty on
many elections," he said. "Submitting
the Question of woman suffrage to the
voters was indorsed by the itepubil
can and Democratic state conventions.
It is a question that liaJ created much
Interest iu many states, and New
York's house and senate have Just
passed a resolution by a small vote
against it. I hope Pennsylvania s
members jU pass It without a single
oppufina.yote.'" " - "

more population as one unit and town

INQUIRE INTO OIL ADVANCE
Federal Officia's Seek Reason For
Raise In Price.
The soaring price or crude oil Is
being investigated by the department
of Justice In connection with Its in
quiry to determine whether the de
cree dissolving the Standard Oil com
pany has been violated.
The government wants to know
whether any of the former subsidiar
ies of the trust have created condi
tions responsible for the rise and
whether there has been concerted
action. Information in possession of
the department alleges that some of
the big companies have a year's sup
ply of crude oil in their tanka and
that the present high price does not
affect them, but is a burden on smaller
concerns.
The entire oil Investigation, in all
probability, will be completed before
the end of February and a report sub
mitted to Attorney General Wicker
Bham by Charles B. Morrison and
Oliver K. Pagan, the attorneys in im
mediate charge of the Inquiry.

FEAR OF DEATH
HALTS PROBE
Rockefeller Too Weak to Sub
mit to Examination
MAGNATE ON VERGE OF SPASM
(Vfter Twelve Minutes of Questioning
by Pujo Committee Rockefeller Be
comes Speechless Shakes of Palsy.
After an examination of twelve min
utes by Samuel Untermyer, counsel
for the Pujo committee, William
Rockefeller, the aged Standard Oil
magnate, showed signs of a laryngeal
spasm and indications of an approach
ing nervous collapse. At the insist
ence of his physician the examination
was discontinued. The examination
took place on Jekyle island, off Bruns.
wick, Ga.
When Mr. Rockefeller's right hand
went up to take the oath his arm
shook like a leaf. When he repeated
the words of the oath the miucles (-f
ills face began to give way. Mr. Pujo
moved nervously in his chair and his
nervousness was reflected in Air. I'll
termeyer. Mr. Rockefeller handed a
paper to the stenographer with the
whispered request that it be read.
Here is the text:
"I am urgently advised and warned
by my physicians that this examina
tion Is attended with very serious
danger on account of the precarious
condition of my throat.. I desire, how
ever, to make the effort as I have not
now and never have had any disposi
tion to avoid testifying before your
committee except ae I have been cau
tioned by my physicians that doing so
would endanger my life. If I find that
the Btrain is too great for me to take
further risk I shall have to ask your
Indulgence in not pressing the ex
amination further.
"As I have lost my voice 1 would
deem it a privilege to make my
answers to the official stenographer
who sits beside me and who will read
them aloud, it Is impossible for. me
to write them."
"Do you recall the occasion of the
organization of the Amalgam ited Cop.
per company in 1898?" was the first
question.
"I do," Mr. Rockefeller replied.
"Was it in 1S98?"
With a great effort .Mr. Rockefeller
replied "I think it was in 1899." He
did not complete the sentence. The
action of the muscles of his face and
the secretion from his mouth evident
ly presaged the choking spell which
Dr. Chappell feared. The physician
interfered. Dr. Chappell said:
"Mr. Chairman I would like to take
the liberty of demanding your atten
tion to Mr. Rockefeller's condition. lie
Is showing some symptoms which pre
cede the spasm's of the larynx and 1
Btrongly advise you not to proceed, as
in doing so you are endangering his
life. Since my appearance before the
committee in Washington a new and
more serious development has oc
curred in Mr. Rockefeller's throat.
You can see his general shaking now
and he Is now on the verge of a spasm
of the larynx which might choke him
Mr. Rockefeller dropped back into
his chair with a weak tired expression'
as he heard the physician say that his
end might be at hand. He looked
pitiably from the chairman to the at
torney for the verdict.
Mr. Pujo arose as a man in the
midst of a stern duty and insisted that
Dr. Chappell swear that death might
result from a continuation of the ex
amination. Dr. Chappell did.
Chairman Pujo then made the fol
lowing formal statement for the
record: "The chair states that, in view
of the declaration by Dr. Chappell
under oath and also of the witness
that no further proceedings will be
had at this time."

serum in his possession to treat forty
persons. This Is the first of this serum
brought to America.
However, it was not Dr. Friedmann's

IN MEXICO CITY
Revolt Breaks Out in Capital
Federal Troops Mutiny
MADERO REMAINS IN CONTROL
Generals Diaz and Reyes Releasee
From Prison, Reyes Being KiUee
Shortly Afterward by Rifle Bullet
After a day of terrific resistance te
mutinous troops Francisco Madero if
still president of Mexico. The capita'
echoed to the incessant discharge ol
rifles and the crash of machine gune
as the partisans of Colonel Felix Diaz
of General Mondraga, of the dead
Reyes and the other Insurrectionist
struggled to pierce the defenses of tht
national palace.
Two hundred have been killed in one
day's fightln-r and among the dead arc
three Americans, two women and one
man. More than 500 persons were
wounded.
The Plaza Constitucion and the
streets leading to the Alameda were
strewn with the dead and wounded.
For forty-eight hours the fate oi
the .Madero government and the life
of the president have hung in the
balance.
The death of Heyes who was killed
by a rifle ball that issued from a doot
in the national palace that few but
the president himself ever uses and
the gallantry of Madero himself, who.
against the protests of his brothers
and friends mounted a white horse
and galloped up and down encouraging
his loyal troops, served to check the
advance of the revolutionists.
There can be no doubt that the army
is honeycombed with treachery, that
Diaz has the support of most of the
faction leaders and that the assaults
on the palace will be renewed.
An account of the beginning of the
revolt follows:
Late Saturday night the 'soldiers ol
the local garrison revolted and cap
tured the powder magazine in a suburb
about six miles from the city. Before
daylight Sunday morning the First
cnval.-y and other Boldiera of the gar
rison formed and marched to the
Zoralo plaza In perfect order. On theii
way to the national palace the soldiers
captured and disarmed all policemen.
At the palace, which was in charge
of federals and the cadet corps, the
cavalry was welcomed and some of
the palace guard Jointed the revolt and
all Indulged in shouts of "Viva Diaz!"
Machine guns bad been mounted ou
the roof of the palace and many sol
diers were crowded into the towers ol
the cathedral and all of them ap
parently in sympathy with Diaz. The
first cavalry commander to arrive, sur
veying the situation nt the palace and
believing it strongly enough guarded,
ordered his regiment to proceed to
the penitentiary and there demanded
the Immediate release of Generals
Felix Diaz and Bernardo Reyes.
Both of these men were then takin
to the palace by the troops followed
by crowds shouting for Diaz and Reyes
and "Death to Madero!" Their ar
rival at the palace wa.-t marked by the
enthusiastic thousands of common
people thronging continually Into the
Zucalo plaza, on the east side of which
stands the governmental buildings.
The cavalry, about 500 strong, and
the infantrymen lined up the full
length of the palace, almost 700 feet.
Other troops were lying on the paving
in skirmish order. A body of mount
ed police was stationed at the south
eud of the palace where Diaz stood
watching.
Suddenly the south door of the
palace known as the president's door
flashed open and from within came
the report of a rille. At the same
moment General Reyes standing near
Diaz cramped into a heap. He had
been shot through the head and died
Instantly.
His death was the signal for a gen
eral fight. In an instant tho machine
guns on the roof of the cathedral be
gan spitting their hail of lead and
steel and simultaneously the artillery
which had approached from the south
began an attack on the cavalry.
The mob in the streets swung about
and beat a hasty retreat for any kind
of shelter. In a minute or two the
plaza was filled with the dead and
dying. Everywhere a pool of blood
marked the place where bullets ' had
found a mark and where the shrapnel
and the solid shot of tho field guns
worked carnage.
Gustavo Madero, brother of tho pres
ident, who recently returned from a
liplomatic mission to Japan, was made
u prisoner by the mutineers. Tho
rebels have a stronger hatred for him
than for the president. Gustavo was
granted many concessions and money
by the government and the rebels
charge that be went to Japan to sell
that nation a Pacific coast coaling
station to raise money to fight the
rebels.
Gustavo wears a monocle and so
strong is his Influence over his brother

ADD INCOME TAX
TO CONSTITUTION
Thirty-eight States, More Than
Enough, Ratiiy Amsndmsnt
An income tax will become a part
of the constitution of the United
State.4.
Ratification by Delaware, Wyoming
and New Mexico the first two in a
race in which Wyoming Is given the
honor of casting the decisive vote of
the income tax amendment the six
teenth change iu the constitution and
the first since reconstruction com
pleted a list of thirty-eight states, two
more than the required three-fourths
of the Union, which have approved
the amendment.
Congress will enact a law to levy
the tax and It probably will become ef
fective in the extraordinary session
to be called by President-elect Wilson
In March or April. The tax Itself, Us
provisions and Ua limitations are all
left to congress.
The new law probably would super
sede the corporation tax and provide
for a tax on all incomes above $3,000,
although there has been some senti
ment in favor of making the limit as
low as $1,000. Congressional leaders
who have been preparing for the final
ratification by the state estimate an
income lax would bring in nearly
$100,000,01)0 a year.
WEEK FEATURELESS
Business Situation Stationary, Says
Dun's Review.
Dun's Review of Trade says this
week:
"No important liango has taken
place in the business situation during
the past week. The leading Industries
and trades are still prosperous and the
undercurrent of conservatism that ex
ists In some quarters has not retarded
to any measurable extent the steady
broadening of Industrial and mercan
tile activity.
"The Balkan situation has caused
some financial strain abroad and part
of the heavy European gold require
ments have been shifted to this side.
This, in connection with the demands
occasioned by our increasing domestic
trade, has Imparted a slightly firmer
tone to the money market."
