The report of the med: cal examiner, made public today, sail the autopsy showed death to be due to @sphyxia, but gave no opinion as to whether this was from natural causes.

Mr. Pujo would not say what plans were evolv- ed to aid the sergeant-at-arms in his work. He said a meeting of the committee would be caller either tomor row or Saturday and the matter Wwould be taken up formally. Mr. Pujo was inclined to believe that the fact that the committee had re- ived, through attorneys not acting ngehuy & physician's certificate set- ting forth that Mr. Rockefeller was too 1l to testify, might be interpreted as an acknowiedgment by the oil mag- nate that he knew that the process had been issued for him. “There is no disposition on my part or on that of the committee to endang- er the life of anyone whose testimony may be required by the committee, but the state of one's health is a matter of fact to be ascertained by the committee and cannot be considered before serv- ice or acknowledgment of service. “Mr. Rockefeller's testimony is of importance with relation to the subjeet matter under investigation by the com- mittee acting under the instruction and authority of the house of representa- tives. “Further, counsel for the committee and 1 offered to go to New York to Mr. Rockefeller's home or to his of- fice and there take his deposition, with his counsel present, at his con- venience, if his state of health were such as to discommode him from tes- tifying for only a few minutes at time. This offer has not been accepted.” Rockefeller Houses Still Guarded. The guard around Rockefeller's Fifth avenue residence, at his Tarrytown country home and at the home of Will- jam G. Rockefeller, his son, at Green- wich, Connn., was maintalned as usual today. without result.

Within a day or two his resignation will be laid before the Senate and communicated to Governor Colquitt of Texas, expecting that R. M. Johnson of Houston will be named to flll out his term, which would end March 4. Attacks Initiative and Referendum. Senator Balley’s speech was an at- tack upon the prinaiples of the initla- tive and referendum as institutions that would, if adopted, bring about the overthrow of the present system of American government. He declared they originated in the desire of poli- ticlans to escape the responsibility for action on such petty institutions as the location of state capitals and the set- tlement of prohibition fights. As in- stitutions of 'government, he declared, that the schemes for direct legislation by the people would convert the United States from a republic into a democra- oy and would sive its control into “the hands of unskilled, the idle and the vicious.” Calls Hearst a “Miserable _Dog.” An attack upon Willlam R. Hearst in the course of his speech in which he characterized Mr. Hearst as a “miserable dog” who Had ‘“hounded him,” brought Senator Ashurst of Arizona to his feet. He attempted to answer this phase of Mr. Balley's at- tack upon radical newspapers and magazines, but was stopped by the Texas senator with the remark that he “could make that reply outside” Later Mr. Ashurst took the floor in his own right and in the course qf his defense of the system of direct gdvern- ment ,paid tribute to Mr. Hearst, as a loyal American citizen. Real Contest Is With Roosevelt. “If the man we have elected presi- dent of the United States gives the country a sane and satisfactory admin- istration,” he declared, “the republican party will never nominate another oane didate for the presidency. Why should you,” he continued, advanoing to- ward,the republican side of the chamb- er, “You dlan't carry but two stas this year, and thoss two of the small- est. “He' (Roogevelt) will take some more, but thank God they will be the kind we can afford to lose. Debs Only Can Out-Roosevelt Roose- velt. Our conflict is with Roosevelt. I our president believes he can take the radical vote away from Roosevelt, he is mistaken. The only men who can do that, and he has not succeeded well, is Eugene V. Debs. He is the only man who can out-Roosevelt Roosevelt in attracting the radical vote. What the democratic party needs is not the radical, but the democrats. Swiss People Disgusted. He declared that in Switzerland the people had become disgusted with the constant necessity of voting on ques- tions of government and had gradu- ally refused to go to the polls, a com- puisary voting law, he sald, had not succeeded and they had = finely determined to pay voters. “Make 'em vote and If they won't, pay 'em to vote, is the principle sug- gested,” sald Senator Balley. No Interest in Constitutional Amend- ments. Senator Balley declared that in states where constitutional amend- ments had been submitted to the peo- ple, but a small proportion of the cit- izens voted upon them. In Wisconsin he said it ran as low as from 24 to 36 percent. In Oregon, he declared on a question involving the future of the state university in which the public had become keenly interested but 80 percent had voted on the question. Hearst Defended by Ashurst. Senator Ashurst answering Senator Balley, declared that the percentage of people who voted on public questions in the states where direct legislation was attempted was fully as great as the percentage of United States sena- tors “sworn and paid to vote on legis- lation,” who voted on the majority of the subjects before the senate. Senator Ashurst, in his defense of Mr. Hearst, declared that his name was associated with the success of many projects to promote the hap- piness of the people and the perpetu- ity of American instjtutions; and de- clared that he was a “firm friend, a loving husband and a faithful father.” ‘More than that I need not say; less than that I could mot say,” he added.
