MORGAN MIE TO
G.D.P.WAR CHEST
Helped 1904 Campaign—Har
riman Raised $230,000, But
Didn’t Tell T. R.
WASHINGTON. July 25.—J. P. Mor
gan & Co., as well as Henry C. Frick,
were contributors to the national Re
publican war chest in 1904 and E. H.
Harriman collected a fund of $230,000
for the state campaign, accord
ing to George R. Sheldon, a New York
banker, who has been identified with
the national committee since 1896, and
was its treasurer in 1906.
Mr. Sheldor testified today before the
senate sub-committee investigating
campaign expenditures. He filed with
the investigators today detailed records
of the receipts and expenditures of
1908, including a list of 16,000 con
tributors, whose gifts totaled $1,655,-
518.27.
Mr. Sheldon declared that men con
nected with Morgan & Co. and
Henry C. Frick had told him of these
contributions In the 1908 campaign, the
records of which he said he understood
had been destroyed. He could recall
no amounts.
"What do you know' of any contri
butions by' E. H. Harriman In 1904?"
Senator Paynter asked him.
Harriman Helped State Fight.
"I think that has all been published.”
said Mr. Sheldon. "But about a week
before the election. Governor Odell,
who was then state chairman In New
York and very much Interested in the
election of Higgins, came to Mr. Bliss,
the national committee treasurer, and
told him that whereas it seefhed per
fectly clear that Mr. Roosevelt would be
elected, the state ticket was in doubt
and asked Mr. Bliss for some money.
Bliss told him that he had no money,
but that he would see w'hat could be
done. Bliss went to Mr. Harriman and
told him about it and Harriman got
together some $230,000, which was giv
en directly to the state committee and
never went Into the fund of the nation
al committee.
"Was this contribution made the sub
ject of correspondence between Harri
man and the then president, Mr. Roose
velt?"
“No sir," replied Sheldon. “As far
as I know, Roosevelt knew nothing of
the contribution until long after."

. OUT TANGLED WOOL
TARIFF SCHEDULES
W ASHINGTON, July 25.—Under the
unanimous consent agreement the sen
ate today began threshing out the tan
gled wool schedule. Tomorrow the ex
cise bill will be heard, and on Satur
day the sugar bill will be considered.
As matters stood when the senate
met today' there were three measures
dealing with a revision of schedule K,
the first, the lower house schedule with
its radical cut In rates which, it is
said, must suffer defeat; second, the
Smoot bill, containing the standpat
ters’ ideas, which it was also thought
would not be approved, and third, the
Cummins substitute.
Mr. Cummins' bill, around which
most of the interest centered, pre-
S'erves the triple classification. The
bill proposes rates of 19 cents, 8 cents
and 6 cents per pound on the scoured
product. If unscoured, the duty is re
duced to one cent. Series of provisos,
one attached to each class, are put in
to gain the support of the low tariff
members. The ad valorem duty for
class 1. according to the proviso, shall
under no circumstances exceed 45 per
cent, in the second class 30 per cent
and in the third class 40 per cent.
