Dll TRUST G,fIVE WDD FOUL H'S GRATITUDE," MB TH DIDN’T GET IT WASHINGTON. Aug. 23. —That th> Standard Oil Company con tributed $125,000 in the national campaign of 1904 on the assurance of Cornelius N. Bliss, Republican national campaign treasurer in 1904, that Roosevelt would take a conservative view of the tariff revision and not attempt to injure the business interests, was the assertion of John D. Archbold today before the senate committee headed by Sen ator Clapp, of Minnesota, which is investigating expenditures in the last two presidential campaigns. He stated that the gifts were made on condition that thev be known to and appreciated by Colonel Roosevelt. He said he had been assured that the condition had been met. His testimony, however, complained of Oil Trust prosecution by Roosevelt, indicating that the contributions had failed in their purpose. Statements fell from Archbold's lips that held his auditors spell bound. Never before had assertions of direct oonnection between ‘big business” and a national party been publicly made by so com manding a figure in the financial world as Mr. Archbold. The witness said that Bliss had solicited the donations. One hun dred thousand dollars was given to the national fund: $25,000 was sent to Senator Penrose for use in Pennsylvania. The bigger donation was paid in currency at 26 Broadway, New York city. Senator Penrose was present at the hearing, although not a mem ber of the committee. He seemed to regard Archhold's amazing statements as personal vindica tion of his (Penrose'si assertion that Colonel Roosevelt knew of the Standard's interest in his 1904 campaign. Colonel Roosevelt, and probably Wil liam Flinn, will also be subpenaed to testify before the committee, accord ing to the plans of Senator Penrose. Archbold told the committee that he was acquainted with Cornelius Bliss, who was the treasurer of the Republi can national committee, but that ha did not know Cortelyou until later. "What contributions did you make directly for the Standard Oil Company to the Republican campaign?” asked Senator Clapp. "I made two—one through Mr. Bliss of SIOO,OOO and one through Senator Penrose of $25,000,” answered Mr. Arch bold. 'Do you know whe nthe SIOO,OOO con tribution was made?" "From the best recollection 1 have, it was some time in September, 1904. Per haps not later than the middle of Sep tember. 1904. Made SIOO,OOO Donation in Currency. "You made it by check. I presume?” "No; I think 1 made it in currency.” "Was there any one present besides yourself and Mr. Bliss?” "To the best of my recollection I was alone in my office at No. 26 Broad way.” "Have you any written data that would fix the date?” "Mr. Bliss sent me a receipt, but ill such an Investigation as 1 have been able to make I have not found it, but I hope to fihd it.” "If you should find the receipt, will you send it to the committee?” “I will.” "Did you have any previous talk with Mr. Bliss before you made this contri bution?” asked Senator Clapp. "I had; either at my office or at Mr. H. H. Rogers’ office. My impression is that very early in September Mr. Bliss came to see me and I told him we would have to submit the matter to the board.” answered Archbold. “Mr, Rogers was also an officer of the Standard Oil?” "He was. He Is now dead. He died In 1909.” Archbold stated that there had been no witnesses that he knew of to his conversation with Bliss, although Rog ers might have been present at one of them, and the questioning continued: "You stated that you made one con tribution of $25,000. Was that in a check sent Senator Penrose?” asked Senator Clapp. "I should have said not. I don't find any letter, in the alleged copy which has been printed purporting to be such a letter I notice that it reads: ’Signed, John D. Archbold.’ but It Is quite un like my signature I would have said that 1 had given it to Senator Penrose tn currency.” answered Mr. Archbold "Do you recall distinctly making the payment of $25,000?" "1 recall that, and I also recall the agreement, it was made at my office and I think the payment was made at my office. The circumstances of the bignature to that letter leave the letter ©pen to suspicion.” "What time would you fix as the time you made the payment?" • "I should think it was in September or very early in October." When this payment was made. Arch bold said, there was none present to the best of his recollection, but it was barely possible that Rogers was pres ent, he said. He asserted in answer to questions that he had charge of mat ters of this kind in the localities about New York. "What conference did you have with Bliss regarding the $25,000?” asked Senator Clapp. "I think that Bliss was favorable that this amount should go to Penrose.” said Archbold. “The contribution of $25,0H0. then, was involved in your conversations with Bliss regarding the $100,000?” “Yes.” "Subsequent to the payment of SIOO,OOO and $25,000, did you have any conferences with any members of the national committee or with any one acting in its behalf with reference to a further contribution?” "I did; with Mr. Bliss." “When was that?" "1 should say early in October, not later than the 10th. There were two or three conferences. The result was we declined to make the further contri, bution.” "What conferences did you have with Mr. Cortelyou?” "I had no conferences with him." Effort to Discover Other Trust Donations. Continuing, Chairman Clapp proceed ed to inquire into Archbold’s connec tion with others and what, if any. con tributions were made through them to the Roosevelt campaign fund. "Did you have any conference with any one other than Mr. Bliss?” he asked. "No," answered Mr. Archhold. “During the fall of 1904 were you generally interested in United States Steel?” "Only as a small shareholder. 1 was not interested in a large way.” "Did you have any conference with the officials of the steel company re garding the Roosevelt campaign fund?” “No.” "Were you connected with any con ference held by the sugar trust, the tobacco trust or the harvester trust with reference to contributions?” "I was not.” “Were you interested in any railroad conference?” "My contributions to the Roosevelt campaign fund and my acts in support of the Republican party were limited te my position as an officer and director of the Standard Oil Company." "You had no conference with any one representing a railroad?" “Wanted It Appreciated By Powers That Be." "1 had conferences with no one save Mr. Bliss. I talked vrry frankly with him and explained to him that while we were desirous of making this con tribution we did not desire to make it unless It would be approved and appre ciated by the powert that be. Bliss smilingly assured me that 1 need have no apprehension on that score.” "By the powers that be. you mean’ Theodore Roosevelt, did you?” "1 did.” "Do you know of any contributions made personally by H H Rogers or Mr. Rockefeller?" "Which Rockefeller do you mean?” "Was there any other Rockefeller Continued on Pag* Two. Away With Disease, Dust and Microbes < It is thought beautiful that a man should invest thousands in a home and have a little ■ butcher s shop stuck up next door.

Practically all the property on Peachtree street between Ellis street and North avenue has been consigned to business development.
