"Were you solicited by Harriman personally to contribute to his fund?" "I was not solicited personally, and if any money was given by Mr Rogers or Mr. William Rockefeller it was given without my knowledge." "Do you know the amount of Harri man's contribution?” "I heard it was about 150,000." 'Do you know whether any insurance companies contributed to this fund?" “I do not know personally." At this point Senator Pomerene, one of the Democratic members of the in vestigating committee, took up the ex amination. “Can you tell where the first confer ence with Mr. Rliss was held?" asked Senator Pomerene. "The conference was held in my of fice. H H. Rogers and myself were present and we went over the platform carefully with Mr. Bliss," answered Mr. Archbold. "Can you give the conversation dur ing that eonferenee ?" Bliss Promised T. R Would Be Conservative. "We inquired of the attitude of Colo nel Roosevelt toward the business in terests and were assured by Rllss that he was a fair and conservative man, who would carry out the platform prin ciples of his party with consideration for the business interests of the coun try." "Were any public questions dis cussed ?” "We were assured by Mr. Bliss that Mr. Roosevelt would take a conserva tive view of the tariff revision and not attempt to Injure the business Inter est e " 'Were these expressions by Mr. Bliss the cause of your contribution?" “ Yes." "Then it was because of Mr. Bliss' view that Roosevelt's attitude toward business interests was friendly that you became interested in his election?" asked Pomerene. "Yes," answered Archbold. Did you and Rogers have a confer ence with your business associates fol lowing the Bliss interview?” Yes. we took up the matter with the officers of the company. As 1 re call it W H. Tilford. F. Q.

Our interests being with the Republican party, we decided that we would contribute >125,000 to the campaign fund." "Did you determine how this money was to be distributed?” We decided that SIOO,OOO would be given to Bliss. Afterward I had a con versation with Senator Penrose, dur ing which he assured me that the par ty needed money badly for the cam paign. and we then decided that $25,000 Should be given to Senator Penrose. Thus SIOO,OOO was given to Bliss and $25,000 to Senator Penrose " "Was this the money of the Standard Oil Company or the money of Its di rectors?"

Following is the "My Dear Senator" letter to Senator Penrose, published in Hearst's Magazine, on which im peachment proceedings are to be based. Personal October 13, 1904. My Dear Senator: In fulfillment of our understanding, it gives me pleasure to hand you herewith certificates of deposit to your favor for $25,000 and with good wishes I am yours truly, JNO. D. ARCHBOLD. To Hon. Boies Penrose, 1331 Spruce street, Philadelphia, Pa. FLINN’S NEW CHARGES. The $25,000 was paid to Penrose after he, as a member of the industrial commission, had taken orders from John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil, on the course of that commis sion in investigating the monopoly. Penrose was paid the $25,000 after the report of the industrial commission had been submitted to John D. Archbold and approved by him, pre vious to being made public.” and asked for another contribution. He outlined the details of Ihe campaign and said It was necessary to have more money." "Did you inquire whether .Colonel Roosevelt had know ledge of your for mer contribution?" "Mr. Bliss gave me the assurance not only that past donations had been ac ceptable. hut that donations in the fu ture would also be highly acceptable." "How much did he ask on this third visit ?” “He wanted a contribution of >150,- 000.” "What did you do with regard to this?” "A meeting was held at my offic e and we decided we would stand on what we had already done.” “You regarded Mr Bliss as a man of high charactei. did you not?" "T knew of no man with a higher rep utation for integrity I knew him for years and 1 trusted him Implicitly." Wpuld you have had no reason to doubt his word if he had assured you that Theodore Roosevelt was satisfied with your contribution?" "I would most certainly not have doubted his word.' 1 "What did he say when you informed him that your company had refused to contribute further to the campaign fund?" "Refusal to Give More A Serious Mistake.” He informed me that I was making a serious mistake. He said that from motives of patriotism the company should be willing to support the Re publican candidate Then he added: Also speaking personally to you. I think you will lose by refusing to contribute now. There are others who will con tribute. You had better do so.' ' "After you declined to make the sec ond contribution were you infoFmed that I’heodore Roosevelt was grateful to you for not making it?" I most certainly was not.” “Had you any knowledge from Bliss, Cortelyou or others that your contribu tions would be returned?” "I never hegrd of that until a few days ago when I read it in the news papers" The witness explained that his reiter ation of the demand that Roosevelt "be grateful” for the Standard OU contribu tion was caused by rumors which he had heard and indicating the candi date might prove ungrateful Archbold said that Bliss told him of needs for money throughout the states that were regarded as doubtful. "Did you ever see him with reference to the business of that campaign?" Attacked by T. R., He Appealed to Bliss. "I went to his place of business once after Mr. Roosevelt and some of his bureau heads began making his very unjust attacks on us. Mr. Bliss threw up his hands and said: I thoroughly sympathize with you I believe the at tacks are unjust myself, but I can not help you.' That was some time after the election perhaps a year after." \\ ho w ere l the bureau heads”” Garfield and Smith (Herbert Knox Smith), and to their line of attack Mr. Roosevelt invariably put his seal of ap proval without any Invest igatlon or knowledge of the facts it came to me as more than a coincidence Whenever any question of legislation was pending or whenever any matter was before the courts there was always one of the re ports." Why do you say it was more than a coincidence ’Because it always happened These reports were put out with Mr. Roose velt's approval at critical times by Gar bl'd and Smith, who were puppets who were to jump when Mt.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY. AUGUST 23. 1912. Was anything then said about these contributions or about the promise made by Mr. Bliss that you would be given a square deal?” Might Have Been A Different Tale. "Mr. Bliss said that it humiliated him to admit that he had no influence and could do nothing at all." “Was there anything sajd at that time about your making a second con tribution?" "Oh, there might have be.pn. but Mr. Bliss was not the man to say, I told you so. The inference was very plain." Pressed by Senator Pomerene. Arch bold said that the substance of Mr. Bliss’ statement at the time was that It would have been different if "we had done as he wished us to." "Do you know whether Mr. Bliss made any report to the national com mittee or to Mr. Roosevelt to the effect that you or your assistants had declined to make a further contribution?" asked Senator Pomerene. ”1 am sure that p was so reported." Reverting to the Penrose contribu tion. Archbold testified that Penrose approached him early in the campaign and told him that if he (Penrose) could handle part of the contribution that it would strengthen him with the state and national committees and that Mr. Bliss would consent to It. "Did you talk to Senator Penrose as to the attitude of Mr. Roosevelt toward your company?” asked Senator Pome rene. “Very likely I did." Archbold Has Only Three Penrose Letters. Archbold said that he had a record of only three letters to Senator Pen rose and he presented them to the com mittee. None of them bore upon the matter under consideration. One of them was a request for Penrose to use his influence toward an appointment for Archbold's brother-in-law, written in April. 1904. but this was not In the record. Archbold declared he also had talks with Senator Scott, of West Virginia, and that both Scott and Elkins were disposed to give the Standard Oil cred it for bringing enough votes into West Virginia to change it from the Demo cratic-to the Republican column. He said, further, that the employees of the Standard Oil Company were advised of the stand which the company had taken. He said he recalled no contilbution to the Democratic campaign that year, al though some individual directors may have contributed. "Do you remember Judge Parker making a charge that Theodore Roose velt was being aided by the trusts?" "I remember it.” "Do you remember the denials?" ”1 remember the Incidents clearly." "After these denials by the president, did you have any talk with Riis-- or his managers on the subject”" “I did not." Senator Oliver, of Pennsylvania, then took up the question, which Archbold dented, that the $25,000 sent to Penrose was anything but a purely political matter. Cortelyou Didn't Call on Archbold "Did you have any information lead ing you to believe that Cortelyou was cognizant of this contribution at the time it was made?" asked Senator Oli ver. "As I did not meet Mr. Cortelyou un til after that, is 1t important thnt 1 answer”" asked Archbold Senator Clapp assured him that It was important. ■ When the question of the second contribution was under way," said Archbold then. "Mr Bliss desired Mr. Coltelyou to meet me and present fur ther reasons why we should again con tribute and an engagement was made." "Was it kept?" "Mr Bliss and Mr Cortelyou were to < ome to my office Mr. Bliss came and said: You sec. I am here alone, Mr Archbold. Mr Cortelyou didn't think it desirable that he should come. ” Senator Jones then examined Arch bold He recalled Archbold's state ment that the Standard (ill directors . hud instructed him to offer a contribu tion provided that the powers of the -pail) thoroughly approved of accepting 1 !l , Did B*l*s ever lell you ihst he had Room veil of this < ondltlnn ’ I alii nain< Rooseteit and Cortelyou especially. Bliss gave me to under stand that they knew and approved.” “Were any members of your board Democrats?” "Yes.” "Did they approve?" They either approved or kept si lent." Paid Contribution in SI,OOO and SSOO Bills. "Were any Democratic members present at the meeting when these in structions were given you?" "What was the denomination of the bills with which the sloo.oo<i was paid?" "They were in SI,OOO and SSOO bills." Archbold discussed rhe Harriman in cident and said that Rogers and Harri man himself had told him of the rais ing of Harriman's fund. "Did you or your company »ver re ceive any letter from Colonel Roosevelt expressing his appreciation for the con tribution?” asked Senator- Jones. "We did not. He evidently decided that a diffeient course would be better for him and threw out an anchor to windward.” During the course of Ihe description of the prosecution by the department of justice, of the Standard Oil Com pany rebate cases. Mr. Archbold for the only time during the hearing showed traces of anger. "There was absolutely no ground for indictment,'’ he said, "and rhe district attorney of Buffalo wired to the de partment of justice that the prosecu tion was ill-advised because of the lack of merit. lam informed that the reply was. Damn the merits of the case; get the indictment.’ " Archbold's face flushed as he repeat ed this message. Then, turning toward Chairman Clapp, he shouted: “Theodore Roosevelt said this case was meritorious. It was ridiculous. There was no more merit than if I should charge you here with having robbed my pocket." Cortelyou Afraid, Said Witness. Senator Pomerene inquired why Sec retary Cortelyou did not visit Arch bold's office after an arrangement for a conference had been made. He was afraid, replied the witness, that it might not look well if the manager of the Re publican campaign committee were seen in the offices of the Standard Oil Company. He gave assurance to Mr. Bliss, however. Archbold said, that the latter represented both himself and Theodore Roosevelt. "Did you see President Roosevelt?” asked Senator Pomerene. "Not during the campaign." an swered Archbold. "Did you see Roosevelt afterward?" "Mr. Rogers and I called after he hal been elected. We spent a pleasant evening at the white house. during which President Roosevelt freely dis cussed the campaign which had just ended. He said there was some criti cism. but that could not be avoided." "What criticism did he say was made?" "The matter of the insurance contri butions was taken up at that time. 1 belief e.” “Was there any specific reference to your contribution?" “No.” Senator Penrose asked that Archbold be instructed to search for all papers relating to the hearing and bring them before the committee when he returned in October from his European trip. It was also arranged that a deputation from the committee will call upon Wil liam Rockefeller, who now is ill, and obtain a statement from him. Other Standard Oil officials will be subpenae 1 to appear before the ’committee. Mr. Archbold then was excused. Committee to Call T. R. for Grilling. Colonel Roosevelt in person will be haled before the committee investigat ing the expenses of the last two presi dential campaigns, according to the plans of Senator Pole« Penrose, it is declared here today. Senator Penrose, whose anger has been aroused by the publication of let ters from John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil Company, purporting to show that Penrose was a beneficiary of the trust's financial target's, also is said to be planning to have ex-State Sena tor William Flinn, leader of the pro presslvo in Pennsylvania, appear be fore the committee. Penrose charges thai Flinn offered $1,000,000 to be elected senator from Pennsylvania. It is Mr Penrose’s pur pose to have both Roosevelt and Flinn grilled by the committee, if possible. It is also possible that Penrose will en deavor to have George W. Perkins call ed before the committee and tell of an alleged pool of $3,000,000 underwrit ten by him for Roosevelt's campaign expenses in 1912 Penrose, Fighting Mad, Plans Revenge. I'lte Pennsylvania senator is fighting mad and he is planning a double re sult from his attack on his tormentors. First he wants revenge for the allega tions against him; second he wants to "show up" Bull Moose political con ditions. Friends of Penrose declare thai he has documents In his possession to prove charges w hich he has made against Colonel Roosevelt chief of which is that Roosevelt knew of the immense contributions made by the Standard Oil Company to the Repub lican campaign fund They declare that Penrose can prove that when Colonel Roosevelt wrote his letter to George R Cortelyou In 1904 forbidding him as chairman of the national Republican committee to accept the Standard's contributions, h. knew the monev bad been received and spent.

A second attack on former President Roosevelt in the senate yesterday orig inated in a colloquy between Senator Reed, of Missouri, and Senator Pen rose. of Pennsylvania, who presented a resolution demanding an investigation of the circumstances set forth in his statement ta the senate Wednesday, in which he charged that SIOO,OOO ol Standard Oil money went into the 1904 Roosevelt campaign fund, with Presi dent Roosevelt’s knowledge. Senators Penrose, Reed and Wil liams each attacked Colonel Roosevelt, and Senator Poindexter, of Washing ton. a supporter of the new Progres sive party, came to his defense. Sena tor Poindexter charged that a combi nation of "regular Republicans" and Democrats was at work to defame Colonel Roosevelt. The debate between Senators Reed and Penrose was marked by the readi ness with which the latter replied to Senator Reed's questions. Early in the afternoon the two senators, with Sena tor Smith, of Maryland, had a short conference. Senator Penrose, in answer to ques tions from Senator Reed, declared that "according to his information” Colonel,. Roosevelt knew that SIOO,OOO of Stand ard Oil money had been received and spent in 1904 before he wrote a letter directing that any Standard Oil contri butions be returned. A new element was injected into the political imbroglio when Senator Penrose suggested to Senator Reed: ' There has come to my notice quite a lot of information leading to the thought that some three million dollars was underwritten by George W. Per kins and his associates to nominate Mr. Roosevelt for the presidency of the regular Republican party In the present campaign. Evidence regarding this matter will be submitted to the proper senate committee for consideration. The ultimate object of this enorpous fund was the control of the Republican party In the interests of the element represented by Mr. Perkins. The lar gest campaign fund in the history of the United States for a nomination was raised for Mr. Roosevelt at the pri maries last winter.” Big Railroad Donations Mentioned. Alleged Contributions of SIOO,OOO each by the Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads to the Roosevelt cam paign fund in 1904 were mentioned by Senators Reed and Penrose, Senator Penrose declaring that President Roosevelt always was in close touch with the national committee managing his campaign. When the colloquy was concluded, Senator Reed made an extended speech attacking Roosevelt, reopening the question of the $250,000 collected for the Republican campaign fund in 1904 by E. H Harriman, and placing in the record all of the so-called "Archbold’’ correspondence recently published. Senator Reed also attacked George W. Perkins. When he concluded Senator Poindex ter took the floor and characterized the days proceedings “as a combination, an understanding, an alliance.” between the machine Republicans and the ma chine Democrats against progressive principles. Senator Reed and Senator Williams denied any "alliance between Senator Penrose and the Democrats." "We hunt Bull Moose today.” said Senator Williams, "and elephant to morrow." Senator Reed attacked at length the so-called Morgan interests, and con cluded with the declaration: "That concern, it seems to me. hav ing cornered the iron and steel busi ness of the land, largely controlling its banks and its trust companies and its transportation lines, has concluded at last the time has come when It can own a president. They started their handy man Perkins out to finance- his campaign, and they thought they would win. They got in so deep be fore they knew It that they could not get back up. and now they are stand ing before the American people al most apologizing for their existence and Roosevelt is trying to pretend to the American people that Perkins Is here like a man already repentant, coming with tear-stained eyes to make up for past misdeeds—a stranger in the Roosevelt camp." Dates of Documents Have Significance. Senator Reed culled attention to the fact that the Archbold letter to Sen ator Penrose, announcing an Inelosute of $25,000, bore d tt- of October 13 11*04 i ,<i> th- wlMloi state w betlte- the sli»*.oi*U. a tiicb whs alsa paid by the Standard Oil people, was paid on of prior to the 13th day of October?" he asked. Senator Penrose said he thought it was paid “on or about that time, per haps a little time before.” The letter President Roosevelt wrote Chairman George B. Cortelyou. of the Republican national committee, -telling him to accept no contribution from the Standard Oil Company, "was sent about a week before the election," Sen ator Penrose declared. "As I understand, the money had been received before this letter of-Mr. Roosevelt w'as dated," said Senator Reed. "Considerably." said Senator Pen rose. "Had the money been spent, or was it on hand, and was it in fact re turned?" asked Senator Reed. "The information I have always had as to the transaction was that Mr. Roosevelt was advised that the money had been spent, and could not be re turned. and the letter was sent to make a record for future reference.” replied Senator Penrose. "Do you know that any large sums of the money were contributed to the national Republican committee in 1904 that were returned to the donors?" asked Senator Reed. “The returning of contributions is such a rare instance on the part of political committees that If there had been any, other case it would have made a profound impression on my mind and 1 do not recall any others,” replied Senator Penrose. Senator Reed asked whether Mr, Pen rose knew of any ebntribution to the campaign fund in 1904 by the Missouri Pacific. Southern Pacific or Gould in terests. "I have no direct knowledge." Mr Penrose answered, "simply my infor mation at the time that large contribu tions were made from those interests." "You mean that while actively en gaged with the Republican nationa committee as a member of that com mittee, you understood that these in terests had contributed heavily to ths fund?" asked Reed. "That is correct," said Penrose. Says T. R. Knew, What Chiefs Did. "To what extent were the acts of the national committee concealed from Mr Roosevelt?” asked Senator Reed. "Mv observation of Mr. Roosevelt, said Penrose, "has been that he was well calculated to have pretty superioi knowledge about everything that was going on in the national committee. I do not think there was a day. and in some days, an hour in the day, when the chairman of the national commit tee was not In communication with him over the telephone." Senator Stone wanted to know how the $3,000,000 which Mr. Penrose had said was raised for Colonel Roosevelt was used. “I meant to state," said Senator Pen rose. “that the object of this enormous amount and unprecedented campaign fund was the ultimate control of the regular Republican nomination at Chi cago. What underwriting has occurred since then for the third party remains to be, developed.” Senator Boiah interrupted io ask about the activities of the Republican national committee at the Chicago convention. "The majority of the national com mittee exercise'd every opportunity pos sible to restrict and restrain the efforts to purchase colored Taft delegates at $5,000 a head,” replied Senator Penrose. "1 suppose the senator is not pre pared to state how they got them back?" asked Senator Borah. "We got them back by appealing to their manhood and their reputation for honor and Integrity and in most every case we got them back," Mr. Penrose answered. "I take it. Mr. President, that the men who would wander off the reser vation for the purpose of raising the price could have not very much man hood left to appeal to. to get back.” Senator Borah said. Roosevelt Makes Sweeping Denial NEW YORK. Aug 23.—-" Mr. Pen rose Is the embodiment and representa tive of all that is worst in our business and political life—he deliberately and wilfully misrepresented me. but I wel come his opposition," was the way Col onel Roosevelt answered the attack of Senator Penrose when he reached his office today in The Outlook building. The colonel arrived in town early in the day from Wilkesbarre, where he made a speech last night during which he took occasion to refer to the state ment made by Penrose that a big por tion of the colonel’s campaign fund had been received in the way of a contribu tion from Standard Oil interests. He dictated in forceful terms the state ment in which he places Penrose in the Ananias club, and denies emphatically that he knew of the Standard Oil con tribution or that he wrote the letters to Cortelyou asking that the contribu tions be refused as a means of furnish ing good campaign material. The state, ment. in part, follows: "Mr. Penrose is the embodiment and You don t have to bake it, you don't have to fry it. You don’t have to wash it, or peel it, or dry it, You don’t have to set it to rise over night, You don’t have to worry for fear it’s not right, It’s ready for you when you’re ready to eat it What is it?

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—When the grand jury which is probing into graft in the police department revealed by the assassination of Gambler Herman Rosenthal, reassembles on September 2 sensational evidence is expected to be presented concerning the recent finan cial operations of a police Inspector and a high civilian employee of the depart ment. This announcement was made today at District Attorney Whitman’s office where preparations are under way for resumption of the inquiry. It was also leaned at Mr. Whitman’s office that a subpena had been issued for a banker whose testimony will throw light upon the bank account of this employee in the department. Attaches of the district attorney’s of fice are investigating what is believed to have been an attempt to steal evi dence of grafting in the police depart ment by breaking into the home of William Flynn, chief of the eastern di vision of the United States secret serv ice. Desks Ransacked. Flynn, who has been allowed to re sign temporarily in order to investi gate g’aft in the police force, was out of the city when the attempt was made. His home at 108th street and Wads worth avenue was entered and desks and closets ransacked. It is known that Flynn has important evidence against police officials. Flynn is now on his vacation. Detectives James C. White and John C. Steinert, formerly members of Lieu tenant Charles A. Becker's strong-arm squad, were arraigned before Justice. Crain in the court of general sessions today charged with perjury. These are the men who are accused of “planting” evidence for Becker against “Big Jack” Zelig, a gang leader They pleaded no' guilty and were held in bonds of $10,090 each. “Leftie Louise” Rosenberg, one of the gangsters charged with killing Herman Rosenthal, is reported to have been found near a large Western city, where he is now under surveillance of detec tives. From the district attorney’s of fice It was reported this afternoon that Whitman expects “Leftie Louie" to ar rive here in custody of detectives next Tuesday. — , representative of all that is worst in our political life and the worst in the alliance between business and politics which has done so much harm in this country, and 1 hail his opposition with unfeigned joy. "We, the Progressive party, are the mortal enemies of Mr. Penrose and his kind, and all the hideous evil which they represent In our public life. Underwriting Story False. 'The statement that Mr. Perkins un derwrote the sum of or any sum resembling that amount to finance my campaign is a deliberate and wilful falsehood which Mr. Penrose knows to be false when he makes it. "The statement that the letters writ ten by me to Mr. Cortelyou were not genuine and were not accepted as gen uine. were written only for the rec ords is a deliberate and wilful false hood which Mr. Penrose knows to be false when he makes it. "There is nothing that I welcome more than Mr, Penrose’s opposition and Mr. Poindexter pointed out the attitude when he said Mr. Penrose and his al lies in the senate. Republicans and Democrats alike, were in a conspiracy to serve the corruption of politics and business alike by endeavoring through slandering and mendacity to oppose the only men and the only party which se riously endangers rule of corruption in politics and finance—that is. the Pro gressive party and Its candidate
