WASHINGTON. Aug. 26 The Pen
rose resolution to extend the inquiry
of the Clapp committee investigating
campaign funds into correspondence or
financial transactions between John D.
Archbold. George W. Perkins. Colonel
Roosevelt and members cf congress,
passed the senate today without a roll
call.
Senator LaFollette finally got the .Pen
rose resolution before the senate and
after its perfection with several minor
» amendments Senator Bailey spoke
against it on the ground of unconstitu
tionality he had advanced Saturday.
This brought LaFollette's fight for a
record vote on an investigation of the
Archbold-Penrose-Roosevelt controversy
directly before the senate.

Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, today I
abandoned his filibuster against ad
journment of congress on provision that I
the genera! deficiency bill, carrying
"state clai ma" in which Oregon has an
interest, go over until December. The

age without the state claims."
Maryland, Virginia and Texas also j
are interested.
The bouse spent its first hour doing \
practically nothing. Majority Leader;
Underwood declared that he and Speak

After repeated conferences, senate |
leaders announced an understanding by I
which the senate was to recede from'
its demand for the immediate payment
of the '■can'tested state claims'' in the ,
general deficiency bill, but providing!
that the claims oe included in the next

but now of Elizabeth. N. J., is in

(Bj AsncUted Fraas.)
LONDON. Aug. 26.—The Panama
capal bill is characterized this morning
as practically a dishonest repudiation
of a direct bargain, by newspapers rep
resenting the views of all the British
political parties.
Meanwhile no definite procedure by
the British government in regard to
the bill can be framed, for nearly all
the cabinet ministers are scattered over
the European continent at . various
watering places, or else shooting grouse
on the Scottish moors, and most of the
prominent politicians outside of the
cabinet are engaged in similar ways.
It is certain, however, that the gov

the question to The Hague court of ar

Cold Wave Is Coming
By September i, Says
Amateur Forecaster
The announoejneait is made by Regin
ald Paschall, the amateur meteorologist
of Atlanta, that the first cold spell of
the coming winter season, will over
spread the United States sometime be
tween August 28 and September 1.
"Immediately before the appearance of
the cold wave the weather will be very
rainy and stormy over the middle and
eastern United States, showing unusual
activity considering the earliness of the
season." says Mr. Paschall. "During
the cold wave freezing weather and frost’
will be reported from Montana. Wyoming
and the Dakotas and a blast of chilly
air will penetrate the whole middle and
eastern United States about August 30
or September 1. The weather will re
main cold with high barometric pressure
over the northern United States inter
mittently for about 10 days.
"During the same period the weather
along the gulf coast and in Florida will
be warm and very rainy at intervals. A
brief period of cloudiness and some rain
over the whole country will manifest
itself between September 3 and Septem
ber 6. After September 6 an extensive
area of high barometric pressure will
probably hang over the eastern United
States and adjacent ocean for several
days, causing heavy rain in Florida and
adjoining neighborhood."

They Claim a Majority of 15r

No Figures Since Senator
Tillman’s Statement
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
COLUMBIA, S. C., Aug. 26.—Tuesday
the voters of South Carolina will de
cide the controversy as to who shall be
governor of South Carolina for the next
two years. Not since the days of re
construction, when Gen. Wade Hampton
and his followers redeemed South Caro
lina from the Republican negro misrule
have the people been so aroused over a
gubernatorial election. The whole state
is wrought up to a high pitch of ten
sion and everything is at a standstill
awaiting the decision at the ballot box.
The spectacular and bitter campaign
had scarcely closed and the people had
barely had time to draw their breath
when Senator B. R. Tillman broke his
silence and his neutrality and declared
for Judge Jones, and in a passionate ap
peal called on South Carolina to elect
Judge Jones governor.
"The state has been disgraced in the
eyes of the whole world, and its good
name made a by-word, and nobody can
cleanse it and redeem it excer* its own
people. I implore the people to take
care of the state’s good name next Tues
day." said Senator Tillman in issuing his
statement, which caused a political Aen
sation and started what many believe to
be a stampede for Jones. Senator Till
man declared that Blease was morally
unfit to be governor, and said that if .re
elected he would make South Carolina
the worst governor since the days of
the reconstruction.
TILLMAN IS BOMBSHELL.
The appeal of Senator Tillman was a
bombshell in the Blease camp and many
Blease supporters are now ready to ad
mit that Blease will be beaten. They
are bitter against Tillman and declare
that they will defeat him for what they
term his "meddling.” Tillman is opposed
for re-election by W. Jasper Talbert, a
former congressman, and N. B. Dial, a
banker and cotton mill mpn. However,
many of the hitherto bitter anti-Tlllman
ites have declared their intention to
vote for his re-election since he came
out for Judge Jones and Mr. Tillman Jias
always been able to carry the farmer
vote practfealfy solid. It is therefore
reasonable to surmise that he will de
feat both of his opponents and be given
a fourth term in the United States sen
ate. Senator Tillman is far from be
ing a well man and his physical condi-

A ORAW,SAYS WRIGHT
Recheck Fails to Change Re
sult-Change of Richmond
Vote to Be Investigated
A recount of the official returns of
Wednesday’s Democratic primary by W-
C. Wright, chairman of the state J)em
ocratlc executive committee, has fail
ed to breaJc the tie in the race be
tween Judge Nash R. Broyles and
'Judge John R- Pottle for the judge
of the court of appeals.
Mr. Wright has the official returns
from all counties except Bibb, Frank
lin and Habersham. With these coun
ties omitted, the official figures give.
Pottle 176 convention votes and
Broyles 152- convention votes. The
Journal's verified reports from the
three counties, which have not report
ed to Chairman Wright, show that Pot
tle carried Bibb and Habersham,
which will make his total convention
vote 184. and Judge Broyles has car
ried Franklin, which will give him a
total vote of 184 In the convention.
Omitting Bibb, Habersham and
Franklin, the popular vote, according
to the official returns, is Pottle. 31,-
246. and Brovlss. 78.922.
RICHMOND COUNTY.
The battle in the state convention
at Macon for the place on the appel
late bench for which Judge Nash R.
Broyles and Judge John R. Pottle are
contesting will hinge, ,lt is now believ
ed, on Richmond county.
The change of Richmond's six votes
given by the newspapers of the state
to Broyles and switched to the Pottle
column by the official- returns to
Chairman W. C. Wright, of the state
Democratic executive committee, has
mystified the friends of the former
contestant.
Chairman Wright figures the popu
lar vote in Richmond county 'as
Broyles 1,254; Pottle 1,399, a majority
for the latter of 145 votes. Mr.
Wright states that he has wired i.he
Richmond county managers for a con
firmation of those figures, but as yet
has had no answer.
Judge Broyles is now in Highland, N.
C„ for a short vacation, but his brother,
Arnold Broyles, clerk of the superior
court of this county, who is acting for
him, stated Monday that Hon. W. H.
Fleming, of Augusta, is now engaged in
an investigation of the Richmond vote.
“I want It stated.” said Mr.
Broyles, "that we do not charge fraud
or anything like that, but we simply do
not understand the change, and for that
reason we have asked Mr. Fleming to
represent Judge Broyles in an investiga
tion.
"The morning after the primary the
Augusta Chronicle declared that Broyles
had carried Richmond. The Journal cor
respondent and the Constitution corres
pondent sent in the same statement.
“Two days after the primary The
Journal wired Richmond for the exact
figures, at my request, and got back a
statement of a Broyles majority.
CHANGE TO POTTLE.
'Later, after it became known that
six Votes would tie the contest, and three
days after the primary, the official re
turns of the county, giving it to Pottle
by 145 majority, was received by Chair
man W. C. Wright.

All That Democrats Need Is to
Stand Together and Keep
Up Fight
Senator Hoke Smith, who returned
Sunday afternoon from Washington, said
that all that fs necessary to secure the
election of Woodrow Wilson as president
is for the Democrats to stand together
and keep up an intelligent fight.
“If the presidential election were to
take place now,” he said Monday morn
ing, “there is no oubt about Gov.
Woodrow Wilson’s election.
» “Neither the Taft nor the Roosevelt
supporters in the senate doubt that Gov
ernor Wilson would be victorious if the j
presidential election were held now in
stead of in November.
“The supporters of both President
Taft and Mr. Roosevelt claim that they
will do much between now and the
time of the election. But if the Demo
crats will press their campaign in the
proper manner, there is no doubt that
they can count upon an overwhelming
victory. I hesitate to say how great
Mr. Wilson’s majority will be. I know
now of not more than half a dozen
states in which he is not stronger than
either of his opponents.
"To • assure the election of Gov
ernor Wilson the Democrats need only
to stand together and keep up an intelli
gent fight."
Senator Smith will remain in Atlanta
until the middle of September. From
then until the time of the election he
will devote his efforts toward a Demo
cratic victory in the presidential elec
tion. For a part of the time he will
be occupied at the Democratic headquar
ters as a member of the advisory com
mittee; during the remaining while he
will speak in various states.
and the only answer we can get is that
later returns give' the county to Pottle.
We do not understand just how the re
turns could be so late.
“I have watched the Augusta Chron
icle closely and that paper has yet
made no statement in which it con
cedes a change in the county's vote,
which gives it to Judge Pottle.”
Friends of the Atlanta recorder from
all over the state have been deluging
him with wires asking about the Rich
mond change, and many of them declar
ed that they are mystified by it.
Fostoffices in several cities have
been closed Sundays heretofore. The
postmaster general has permitted that
' under a regulation where it was evi
dent that local sentiment demanded it
The closing is now compelled by law.
At the postoffice Monday it was said
that a letter relative to Sunday mail
had been received, but that nothing could
be said about it until Postmaster Mc-
Kee's return to the city during the day.

Roosevelt Says He Was Spe
cifically Told Standard Oil
Gave Nothing
(By Aassctated Preu.)
OYSTER BAY, N. Y.. Aug. 36.—What
Colonel Roosevelt knew and .did in the
matter of John D. Archbold's alleged
3100,000 contribution to the Republican
campaign fund in 1904; what President
Roosevelt said to the late E. H. Harri
man and what Mr. Harriman said to
President Roosevelt about • Harriman's
$260,000 contribution, are matters to
which William Loeb, Jr., formerly
Roosevelt’s secretary, is prepared to
testify before the senate committee in
vestigating campaign contributions, ac
| cording to an announcement made here
today by Colonel Roosevelt.
“Mr. Loeb told me last 'bight that he
had seen statements that he was to be
brought down before the committee,”
Colonel Roosevelt said today.
TOLD HIM TO GO.
“I told him that if he was called he
was to go, of course, and testify to ev
erything." . ,
"While under no circumstances would
1 1 myself ever have Mr, Loeb to
j testify,” Colonel Roosevelt declared, "J
am more than pleased that the commit
tee cnoses to do so.
"For Instance, when I made my state- I
ment about/Mr, Harriman in Mr. Harri- [
man's life time, I let It rest only on my j
written letters, yet as the committee has
chosen to listen to hearsay gossip by '
Mr. Odell and Mr. Arehbold as to what I
i Mr. Harriman said took place at that in- <
terview, I shall be glad to have them
listen to Mr. Loeb, who was present at

"Mr. Loeb heard Mr. Harriman ask
me to get Mr. Bliss or Mr. Cortelyou
to contribute funds to himself and Mr.'

"WIRELESS" WILSON
DIES SUDDENLY HI
THE FEDERAL PRISON
Was Taken 111 Sunday Night
About 8 o’Clock and Expired
in the Prison Hospital Two
Hours Later
Christopher Columbus Wilson, of New
York, better known throughout the coun- . ■
try as "Wireless" Wilson, because of his
former connection with the big wireless
syndicate whose operations led to his
downfall, died Sunday night at the Unit
ed States penitentiary. He was taken ill 11
at 7:50 o'clock and died at 10:10. Urae
mic poisoning was given as the cause
of his death.
Colonel Wilson was sitting in the li
brary at the prison, smoking, when oth
er prisoners in the room noticed some
thing wrong with him. He was found
to be desperately ill, and was taken to
the prison hospital, where shortly after
wards he lapsed into the coma which
ended with his death. He was 67 yea.'s
old.
The spectacular career of the prisoner .
made him probably the most notable
among all those confined at the prison,
the pardon and release of Charles W.
Morse by President Taft putting Colonel J
Wilson at the top of the list. He was
convicted in New York of using the
mails with intent to defraud, in con
nection with the organization of his
wireless company, and sentenced to serve
three years in the federal prison. H<»
was received at the prison on August
23, 1911.
It is reported that the funeral arrange
ments will be designated by the deceas
ed man's daughter, who is married and
lives in Pennsylvania. He is survived
also by his former wife, whom he di
vorced to marry his young stenographer.'
r ROMANTIC WEDDING.
He is survived by his present wifs
and a baby boy about a year old. Not
a little romance has been woven about
the arrest and conviction of Colonel
Wilson. He was engaged to marry bis
young stenographer, and she was pres
ent in the office when postoffice inspec
tors first raided the place and put the
president of the United {(Tireless com
pany, of New York, under arrest '
Colonel Wilson gave bond the same j
afternoon and that evening he and the
22-year-old stenographer were married.
The trial dragged along tor nearly aSB
year. Finally the promoter was con
victed and sentenced to three years in
the penitentiary. Just one week after
sentence was pronounced Mrs. Wilson
announced the birth of a bouncing baby J
boy.
Francis X. Butler, general counsel and
a director in the wireless swindle, was
convicted of using the mails to defraud,
at the same time that Colonel Wilson
was tried, and the former is still servo
ing his two-year sentence In the federal
prison.
Prison officials said today that Colonel
Wilson had been enjoying good health
up to the time he was stricken. Ths
colonel’s young wife has been notified
and the body is being held at the prison
awaiting instructions.
LIBERTY CAUSED PROBE.
Colonel Wilson was taken to New York
last May by one of the prison guards ®
to testify in the bankruptcy proceed
ings Instituted against the United Wire- a
less company. Several postponements
of the case necessitated his bein£ held
in New York for more than a month
and it became known that the guard
was allowing him a great deal of person
al liberty during that period. Instead of
being kept in the Toombs he was per
mitted to stay in a private house. On
one occasion, it is said, he was seen
near his former haunts in Wall street.
The department of justice took no
tice of these reports and ordered an j
investigation. As a result, the guard
was dismissed and early last month
Wilson was returned to the Atlana pen- -•'
tentiary. »
