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 mittee. tnd that I directly or indirect!',' • request. <1 a contribution from Mi.

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.

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 ing to the hotel from a picnic. 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 waived a preliminary hearing and was held under SSOO bond for the September grand jury.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

Wolfe St., Baltimore, Md.— "My trouble was caused by a severe sprained ankle, the bruised blood not having been drawn off caused a skin affec tion which the doctors pro nounced eczema.
