OIL CHECK SENT
TOOT.R.,SAyS
MM
John D. Archbold Donated
$125,000 to Colonel's 1904
Campaign. He Charges.
" ASHINGTON, Aug. 22. —ln an ad
dress to the senate late yesterday, Sen
ator Boies Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
explained the purpose of the check for
$25,000 which was received by him from
John D. Archbold, president of the
Standard Oil Company, in 1904. Sen
ator Penrose stated that the check was
a contribution from Mr. Archbold to
aid the Republican campaign in Penn
sylvania. He stated that this was part
of a contribution of $125,000 made to
the campaign of Colonel Roosevelt,
with the knowledge and consent of the
colonel.
At the conclusion of his speech the
senator promised further disclosures.
Senator Stone, of Missouri, asked him
if he knew anything of the contribu
tion of E. H. Harriman to the 1904 Re
publican campaign fund.
"The papers are on file and letters
exist, said Senator Penrose, "which.
I think, during the campaign will SPC
the light of day .’ 1 think it would be
very beneficial to the country if they
should become public.”
“Where are they now?" asked Sen
ator Stone
Time For Letters to Come Out.
"They are hidden in the archives of
campaign committees, in the cellarsand
vaults of business men and in the of
fices of lawyers." returned Senator
Penrose. "I think the time, has come
when these charges should be met and
the American people should no longer
be gulled by answers which insinuate
that another man is a liar."
In reference to Senator Peprose’s
statement regarding William Flinn
Senator Racon, of Georgia, asked to
■whom the $2,000,000 was to be paid bv
the "citizen who wanted to be elected
tn the senate?"
"I suppose either to Mr. Durham or
myself,” responded Mr. Penrose. “W
--did not get that far in the considera
tion of the business.”
Senator Culberson, of Texas, seeing
a psychological opportunity, called up
his bill forbidding campaign contribu
tions by corporations and limiting the
amount to be contributed by individu
als to $5,000.
A filibuster developed against the
measure, and after 38 senators had
forced a half dozen roll calls on it the
senate was forced to adjourn because
of no quorum.
Black Heart, Corrupt
Hands, Says Flinn
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 22.—William
Flinn, in a detailed statement, replies
to the charges made against him in the
senate yesterday by Senator Penrose,
denying the charges as insinuations
against him. In conclusion of his re
ply. he says:
"As a matter of fact I never asked
Penrose or Durham to support me for
senator and never even discussed the
matter with them. These men were my
personal and political enemies, with
whom 1 had no pontact or relations
since 1896.
"Senator Penrose, caught red-handed
■with Standard Oil money, evidently
made his statement in reference to me
for the combined purpose of inking the
waters, like a cuttie fish, that he might
withdraw himself from the public gaze
and to provide the only possible retort
which can characterize a man making
such a statement. I do not propose to
lend myself to his plan.
"Rut there may be away in which he
can be withdrawn from his shield of
personal privilege in the United States
senate. If so. he will have an oppor
tunity to add a perjured soul to the
other chief characteristics which dis
close Penrose to the American people—
a blak heart and corrupt hands."
Statement False,
Says Roosevelt
WILKESBARRE, PA.. Aug. 22.
Colonel Roosevelt, after he had read
Senator Penrose's statement, replied
with the assertion that the senator’s
accusations about him were false. The
ex-president quoted from letters and
telegrams which he sent to George B.
Cortelyou, chairman of the Republican
national committee in 1904, to prove
that no contributions had been accept
ed from the Standard Oil Company.
"Mr. Penrose and his allies and the
entire crowd of crooked politicians and
crooked financiers who have attempted
to make those attacks upon me," said
Coolnel Roosevelt, "have made them
and are making them only knowing
that they are false, but because they
are false and because that they know
that the forces behind me and which I
at this time represent are the only
forces which the crooked politicians
and crooked financiers of the country
have really to fear.
"The only part of Mr. Penrose s state
ment that needs commnet by me is that
portion in whie hit is asserted that I
had been advised of a heavy campaign
contribution from Mr. Archhold in be
half of the Standard oil Company to
the Republican national campaign com

Elopers Led Through Jeering Lane
AFFINITY PAIR IN CHAINS
CARROLTON, ILL., Aug. 22 —Hand
cuffed together. William Burley, a mer
chant. and Mrs. Walter Evans, another
man's wife, with whom he eloped, were
paraded through the main street here
while crowds jeered them.
The line of march of the strange pa
rade led from the railroad station to the
Green county jail. Burley is 53 years
old. the woman 27.
The captured elopers were chained to
Sheriff Morrow’, who had run them
dow n after a chase through two states.
Like captives chained to a Roman
chariot, the pair marched through a
double file of men and women, their hu
miliation the greater because they were
acquainted personally’ with all of the
onlookers. The chase had been on ten
days. Burley, a bachelor, had been a
close friend of Evans, whose home he
frequently visited. Evans did not sus
pect his friend.
Two weeks ago Evans sold a house in
Carrolton. He received nearly’ SSOO and
kept the money. Four days later Mrs.

Evans and Burley disappeared. When
Evans looked for his money he found it
also was gone.
Sheriff Morrow learned that Mrs.
Evans and Burley had been seen to
gether at Grafton, 111., and had crossed
the river there in a skiff and landed on
the Missouri shore. He learned also
that Mrs. Evans’ trunk had been sent to
Jerseyville and went from there to
Lynn. Mo., opposite Grafton. He took
with him a warrant charging Burley
with grand larceny, tlvans had said
that he was most anxious to recover his
missing money.
Morrow found the couple in Lynn.
He obtained requisition papers, then
arrested the pair as they were return

After Mrs. Evans and Burley were
placed in jail Evans visited his wife in
her ceil. After a short conference they
hugged and kissed each other. Mrs.
Evans was then released. Burley

Little Hal Cummings. Jr.. Hap
piest When Going to Blazes
With Grandfather.
Atlanta's first piece of automobile
tire apparatus, the fire chief's automo
bile. today completed three years of
service, and probably no one in Atlanta
takes a greater interest in- the hand
some red-coated machine than does
six-year-old Ha] Cummings, Jr., the
grandson of Chief W. B. Cummings.
Going in training 'for the thrilling
life of a fire chief in a great city at the
age of six is some record for any fire
man in the world, but that is what this
youngster declares he is doing. Noth
ing affords him greater delight than to
have some husky fire-fighjters take him
around at headquarters and show’ him
the various engines and apparatus with
which Atlanta lives and property are
guarded. Whenever there comes a
chance for him to take a ride.in grand
pa’s red wagon his childish soul is
thrilled with delight.
The short run through the streets is
to his imagination a dashing ride to
save burning buildings and threatened
lives and the heroes of his boyhood
dreams are not soldiers who fell in
battle, but the men who spend their
lives in protecting Atlanta from the
ravages of fire.
Since the present automobile re
placed the chief's wagon, the same set
as men have ridden in it.
W. L. Gilbert, the driver, and C. M.
Thurman, Chief Cummings’ aid, are
the men who go with the chief, in all
the three years, despite the fact that
this one automobile knows no speed
laws and must always travel at top
speed, whether the streets or dry or
slick from falling rain, there has been
no accident.
Gilbert re-entered the fire service at
the time the automobile was purchased
by the city. He had been in the serv
ice. but retired to enter the automobile
business, and when the department
needed a driver, he wa« chosen. Thur

JACKSON DENIES
HEISKED SNIPS
Revenue Collector Says He Did
Not Urge Removal of McKee,
Johnson or Tate.
"1 did not mention the matter of the
removal of Postmaster McKee, of Wal
ter Johnson. United States marshal, nor
of District Attorney Tate while 1 was
in Washington with the president,”
said Henry S. Jackson, collector of in
ternal revenue and Republican nation
al committeeman from Georgia, who
returned from a conference with the
president and his political advisers.
For several days rumors have been
current in the Federal building that Mr.
Jackson's trip to Washington was for
the purpose of removing the postmas
ter. the district attorney and United
States marshal. He also is said to
have been using his Influence to pre
vent the nomination of Clark Grier as
postmaster at Dublin, Ga.
The same attaches of the Federal
building who have put these reports be
fore the public have been open in their
declarations that Mr. Jackson was
seeking the office of postmaster for
himself and that C. P. Goree, a promi
nent lawyer and Republican leader,
would be made district attorney. John
Martin, assistant revenue agent, was
named as the man to succeed to the
office of collector of internal revenue
and custodian of the postoffice and cus
toms house.
"I am seeking an office in the United
States consular service in Cuba," said
Martin today, "and have no intention
of trying to be appointed collector of
internal revenue.
The postmaster, the district attorney
and the United States marshal all are
out of town and could not be reached
for their statements.
Personal feeling long has run high
between Mr. Jackson and the postmas
ter, the district attorney and the mar
shal. and while the collector is not
slow in stating his personal opinion ot
these officials, he denies that he is using
his influence with the president to ob
tain their removal from office.
Mr. Jackson lias little to say regard
ing the condition of affairs in the Re
publican campaign headquarters, ex
cept to state that everything points to
the success of President Taft at the
November elections.

ROOSEVELT PLATFORM IS
MERE POLITICAL DEVICE,
SAYS CHARLES D. HILLES
By CHARLES D. HILLES.
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee.
NEW YORK. Aug. 22.—The Third
Term party is not a progressive party.
It represents not progress but retro
gression. It is not
w ■
progress to aban
don the wise cus
tom which limits a
president to two
terms, which led
the people to deny
a third term to
Grant. It is not
progress to seek to
defeat every pro
gressive Republi
can who is a can
didate for re-elec
tion. It is not
progress to aban
don all the pro
gressive ground
gained by the Re
publican party to
launch a new and
frail political barque which has no mo
tive power but the ambition of its cap
tain. no compass but the whims of a
political oppmtunist.
Neither is it progressive to attempt to
launch a new political party with such a
platform as was adopted by the Third-
Termers at Chicago. That pronounce
ment is not “a confession of faith." It.
is merely a collection of disconnected
propositions, each of which shay be ad
vocated by some progressive, but none
of which is advocated by all, and which
was concocted solely for the purpose of
tempting the fancy of a wide variety of
economic thinkers.
It includes fragments of so many
varying and even differing schools of
economic thought that it will never
hang together longer than a single cam
paign.
“Device of a Politician.”
No man can be at once a Socialist
and an anarchist, a single taxer, a pro
tectionist and a free trader. But the
Third party platform contains its bid
for the support of each. It is the inge
nious device of a politic ian who under
estimates the capacity of lhe people to
think for themselves.
Then, too, the Third party has no
reason for being other than the over
weaning ambition of one man again to
enjoy the power and prerogative of the
highest office in the land. Its candi
date is not a progressive at heart. Had
he been he would have eliminated him
self and devoted his energies at the Re
publican national convention to nomi
nating some well known Progressive
like Governor Hadley or Senator Cum
mins. But he wanted only the nomina
tion for himself, and even the sugges
tion that he deliver his support to an
other aroused him to an almost Insane
fury.
And once President Taft was nomi
nated. there was no excuse for seeking
to disrupt the Republican party, for it
was and is tile party of progress. It
has become the custom of some writ
ers and speakers to hold up to obloquy
certain senators and representatives as
constituting "the old guard.” as being
the acme of reactionaryisin. I submit
that during the administration of Pres
ident Taft the “progressization," if I
may coin the word, of the Republican
party has been rapidly proceeding, as
those w ho constitute the old guard have
been passing into private life.
Passing of “Stand-Patters.”
Senator Aldrich, who has been most
extravagantly execrated, has retired to
private life, as has Senator Hale. Sen
ator Crane has announced that he will
not again be a candidate. Senators Han
na and Platt (of Connecticut) and Al-

lison. all members of the “stand pat”
school, have gone to their reward. Sen
ator Spooner has resigned. And the
places of these men have been taken by
those who are known as Progressives.
In the house similar changes within
the Republican party have taken place.
Mr. Cannon has retired from the speak
ership. but even before he was retired
by a Democratic majority he had been
stripped of his power by Republican
Progressives, foremost of whom was
Representative Gardner, of Massachu
setts, one of the staunchest support
ers of President Taft Representative
Dalzell has failed of renomination.
President Taft, although he did not
deem it proper for the head of one
branch of the government so far to in
terfere with another co-ordinate branch
as to compass the defeat of Mr. Cannon,
who was a candidate for re-electiori
and whose re-election President Roose
velt had never eared to oppose, did lend
encouragement to those who opposed
the re-election of the speaker, and he
gave his cordial support to those who
sought and achieved the modification of
the house rules whereby the speaker's
power was curtailed.
Nor has President Taft ever opposed
any progressive movement in the sen
ate. The charge that he sought to dis
cipline certain senators by withholding
patronage because they were progres
sives is false. He did bring pressure to
bear on senators who, calling them
selves progressives, sought to block pro
gressive legislation for purposes of theit
own and who did hesitate to misrepre
sent the administration and the railway
rate bill it sought to have enacted.
Os course, the defeated insurgents lost
no opportunity to misrepresent the ad
ministration and the bill, but the people
have been enjoying the benefits of that
bill just the same, and only recently
were the express companies of the coun
try ordered to reduce their rates under
a provision of that very bill.
