Jekyl Island, Ga., Feb. 7. A "spasm of the throat that left William Rocke feller a'strangling, trembling Old man, on theverge of. nervous collapse, ab ruptly terminated his examination by Chairman ;Pujo and counsel, " Samuel Untermyer, of the House Money Trust Committee here today. '. MrT Rockefeller was askd just four questions,' all practically1 immaterial, before .the attack forced the conclu sion of vthe ' hearing: The aged Stan dard Oil magnate was closeted .with the committee for just 12 minutes. -At the end of the time-he was assisted to his couch by Dr. Walter F.' Chappell, his physician, who declared his patient exhausted. In a plainly, but elegantly furnished room, . m ; Rockefeller s apartment in the. Summer apartment house, Sans Souci, on the isolated island that forms the estate of the exclusive millionaire's club of Jekyl Island, the 72-yearold Standard Oil.magnate submitted to- the questions of the moneys trust inquisi tion. There ended the sim months hunt of the government process servers.who hounded rthe reluctant witness from New York to the Bahamas and who lay siege to his New York townhouse. TheJ net result of the examination, so far as the money trust investigation was concerned, added practically nothing of value to the record. It did demon strate to the satisfaction of Mr. Un termyer and Mr. Pujo that Mr. Rocke feller was hardly a fit subject physi cally for a gruelling cross-examination on the details of his financial career. Members of the Jekyl Island club and Dr. Walter Chappell tonight shook their heads doubtfully when asked about. Mr. Rockefeller's physical con dition. Mr. Rockefeller is in a very serious state," said Dr. Chappell. He said that a new . growth of a malignant nature had recently formed in -Mr. Rockefel ler's ttiF5at and that serious develop ments were to be expected at any time. Contrary to expectations, the exclu sive Jekyl Island club interposed no objections to the invasion of its pri vate domain by the Congressional in quisitors. The club launch met Mr. Pujo. and Mr. Unterniyer at the Bruns wick dock and carried them with their retinue of clerks and stenographers to (Mr. Rockefeller's apartment, which is in .the same building . with those of James J. Hill and J. ; P. Morganr A footman-on guard at a locked door greeted them, but they- were -admitted accompanied by John A. Garver and A.."J.. Cravatt, counsel for Mr. Rocke feller; and Dr. Chappell. '-.-In the aoart- hiep-t were Mrs. Rockefeller and Mr. Rockefeller s two sons and his daugh ter.' Mrs; McAlpin. '.The ' examination was delayed for a time,by a conference- between counsel for Vthe prospective witness and Mr. Untermyer, but" the inquisitors were finally ushered into a large drawing room, where Mr." Rockefeller, bent and shaking, with the palsy, sat in "a large arm chair beside a glass topped table. The - trembling hands of the- once active. head of the powerful Standard Oil,; group; jof bankers, settled on the arms Pf his chair as he arose to greet his1 .visitors. ' He did not remain stand ing - for' long, however, and - his whis pered 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,-., At a larger table a few feet away Mr. ; Pujo and Mr. Untermy er tookvtheir places.' Beside a cheer ful grate fire sat !Mr.' Garver, Mr-Cra-vatt .and Dr. Chappell, and Mr. Pujo's secretary,. Mr. Untermy er's secretary f .fill w.. ? $H&&&f ?

Seated with'his trembling hand uplift ed the Standard Oil magnate acknowl edged the oath to speak the "truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." . . Throughout the hands of the witness trembled and his gray head wagged violently under the influence of the palsy. As soon as lie was sworn the Stan dard Oil magnate handed to the ste nographer a slip of paper with the whispered . request that the stenogra pher read it. "1 am urgently advised and warned,"' read the stenographer, "by my physi sian, that this examination is precar ious to the condition of my throat. I desire, however, to make the effort as I have not now and never have had any disposition to avoid testifying be fore your committee, except as I have been cautioned by my physician that doing so would endanger my life. If I find that the strain is too great for me to take further risk I shall have to ask your indulgence In not pressing the examination further." ' "As I have lost my voice, I would es-' teem it a privilege if you would permit me to whisper my answers to the offi cial stenographer, who- sits beside 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 of the com mittee as follows: , ., ' "Mr. Rockefeller, the chairman will: expect you and your physicians to ad vise us At you feel at any time that your condition becomes such as to ren der further examination Inadvisable. It must be clearly understood that neither the, chairman nor counsel care to, of are . Willing, to assume' any res ponsibility "whatever on such 1 a - sub ject. You and your physicians are the best; judges of the situation and we Shall have to rely upon you under the Circumstances disclosed by . the testi mony before the committee as" to your physical condition." ' On that under standing we wiliproceed -with fhe ex amination.'! 1 " ' , v. The bowed head of the-witness nody ded assent ami the examination began in earnest. ' ' . - v "What is your residence?' asked Mr. Untermyer. , '.-. -.' 1 The strained face of the . witness t bent close to the ear ; of the - waiting stenographer,?

The-witness leaned over and the stenographer read: "Six hundred and eighty-nine Fifth avenue, New York City." "Referring to the statement just made by you, Mr. Rockefeller," s said Mr. Untermyer, "it is currently report ed that your health is such that you are able to play golf and indulge in sports of that sort. What is thefact as to that?" After another pause, the stenogra pher read the answer: "I have, never played a game of golf in my life. I try to take open air exercise .every day. That is the extent of my amusement taking outdoor exercise." - "Do you recall the occasion -of the organization of the Amalgamated Cop per Company in 18y8?" demanded Mr., Untermyer. ' - t . The witness breathed heavily, his trembling hands clutched the table in front of him and he seemed to control himself with a great effort as. he again leaned to the ear of the stenographer. Then came the answer in the mechan ical, monotonous tone of -the clerk, "Yes." "Was if in 1898?" asked Mr. -Untermyer. Once more the bent form of the oil, magnate leaned toward the stenog rapher. He had hardly begun to move his Hps bef ort a strangling, whistling cough shook his frame. He. fell back into his chair, a flood of red. sweeping over the grey white pallor of his face. The trembling of his hands and the wagging of his head became more vio lent and the muscles of his face and neck contracted and expanded spas modically. ! .

"He is showing some symp' toms which precede these spasms of the larynx and I strongly urge-you not to proceed, as in doing so you are cer-w tainly endangering his life at the pres ent moment.

The House disposed of the Senate bill to increase the borrowing power of building and loan associations fromr25 per cent of assets to. 50 per cent, of assets today, fixing the limit finally at 30 per cent, an amendment by Williamsof Cabar rus, to this effect, being adopted; also . an amendment by Young, of Harnett, to make the per cent, of money paid in, the base instead of "assets.'- .
