Kyle died and Archbold wrote to Senator Penrose: We are very strongly of the cp.nion that you should take the chairmanship. Lastly, and may we hope not unfairly, we make it as a strong personal request. May I venture to ask for an af firmative answer by wire? That sounds pretty peremptory, hut it may be that the Standard OH Company had a right to be per emptory to Penrose, the right that every master lias to give orders to a servant whom he pays, and pays well. For in other correspondence it is recorded that chairman Penrose sent an advance copy of the commit tee's report to Mr. Archbold for ap proval. and that Mr. Archbold "O. K'd" it before it was given to the country. T. R. Denies Money Was for His Aid __ OYSTER BAY. X Y Aug, IT Colonel! Roosevelt made vigorous answ»» todas to I the assertion of Senate!
