He rose and gave both documents to

him to rend it, which he did. as fol

Roosevelt then read a letter to Shel

lie demanded that the SIOO,OOO reported
to have been contributed by the Stand

"I know that we will not receive half

Colonel Roosevelt added:

After this statement, Colonel Roose
velt arose from tlte witness chair, and
waving a heavy bound volume before
the committee, snapped out:
"These are tile originals, gentlemen,
of the letters to Senator Bourne, of
which I sent you copies. Do you wish
to compare them?"
■ I don't think so." replied Senator
Clapp.
The t emainder of tlte committee were
silent, th ti Senator Clapp asked:
Are there any miler le.tters or docu
ments in your possession?"
No. there is none as far as I can
recall. I have been over the various
do, iitm nts with Loeb and I van find no
further letters or documents of any kind
relating to this campaign. At the same

"I regard to th* Harriman fund?"

"Yes; that will be satisfactory.”

ley came down to see me about seeing
Mr. Archbold and that T Said' I Would
be delighted—delighted—and asked Mr.
Sibley to bring Mr. Archbold to the
white house.
"I don't remember atiy conversation
with Mr. Sibley,4^.Archbold's
name was mentioned. I do remember
that Sibley came on two or three oc
casions about the Standard Oil Com
pany, and he mar have brought up
Archbold's name. 1 certainly did not
volunteer to ask him to bring Archbold
down to see me."
Several times William Loeb, Jr.,
leaned over and coached his former
chief.
Saw Archbold
Several Times.
"1 remember Senator Bourne asking
me to see Archbold,” continued Roose
velt, “and 1 saw him with Bourne on
several occasions, and on one occasion
in my house at Oyster Bay. he brought
Archbold to lunch, so that if Sibley did
ask me to see Archbold I probably an
swered him as he says 1 did.
“While 1 was president, if any man,
trust magnate, labor leader, Socialist,
prize tighter or any other man had any
business with me and wanted to see
me. 1 always saw him. and if I thought
there was anything to be gained from
the standpoint of public service in see
ing any man then, without waiting for
him to ask, 1 would send for him.
“If I am elected president, if Mr.
Rockefeller o. any one else wants to see
me. I will see him. and if ever I have
anything to ask, for the public service,
of Mr. Rockefeller, or Gompers, or
Mitchell, or Pierpont Mo gan, 1 will
send for him myself and ask him about
it. During my term of service as presi
dent it happened that I did not send for
any representatives of the Standard Oil
on my own initiative; it was always at
the request of somebody. But I did
send for several trust magnates. 1 sent
so Marvin Hughtit, on three or four
occasions.
Sent for Magnates
And Prize Fighters.
“On three or four occaOons 1 sent for

’in typically Rooseveltian manner, "and

that it can not stand meeting the trust
magnates I shall immediately get out of
public life,” said the ex-president.
“No Sensible Person
Could Raise a Question.”
Roosevelt then passed on to the sub
ject of the Harriman visits, stating
that he could see no reason why any
one with common sense could question
anything about Mr. Harriman's letters
or visits.
The witness then called attention to
the letter of October 14. 1904. written
by himself to Mr. Harriman, which con
tained the expression "You and I are
practical men.” "Any one." said Roose
velt, with an emphatic slap of his knee,

PAVING PROBLEM
PASSEOTO BOARD
Committee Unable to Decide
on Bids for the Peachtree
Road Work.
Because of a radical difference nf
opinion between members of the I'ui; ,
county commission on the material r>
be used for the proposed Peachtree
road paving from Buckhead to •i P
county line, and the assertion by one
member, Shelby Smith, that the pub ~
vvotks committee had no real informa
tion on the subject, action in the mat
ter was postponed for a full boar,]
meeting to be held tomorrow morning
The charge that the Barber Aspha'
Company, which had been led to be
lieve that it was the successful bidde.
was charging the county double price.,
for Bermudas asphalt, was argued at
length, but the four commissione: s
present, Shelby Smith, H. E. W PaL
mer, S. B. Turman and Tull C Waters
could arrive at r.o decision.
When the board was notified true n»
public works committee had decided t
use the mixing process instead of the
penetration process, as had been first
decided. Judge Palmer, acting as chair
man, objected
To Learn Prices Elsewhere.
“The public work committee has no
right to change an action of the boa,<■••
he said. "The board Will have to de
vide on the process to be used."
Tull C. Waters, chairman of the ~i).
mittee, said that he would like to gc
more information as to the charges r
asphalt trust were making for £; e .,.
rnudas asphalt in Northern cities, it
has been asserted that while the tirsf
was charging Fulton county S3B a ton
for its product that it was selling in
Philadelphia for sl3, the freight to At.
ianta being $7.50.
"This change in bids and prices ;< se
demoralizing especially with the in
formation we have, that 1 believe tite
board should take a lot of time to de
cide this matter." said Commission,
Smith, in favoring a postponement unv
Monday.
Mothers
Women who bear children and re
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems in advance of hair's
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature in its pre-natal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de
mands made upon it, and she is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is so truly a
help to nature as Mother's Friend,
and no expectant mother should fail
to use it. It relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligaments, makes pliant and elas
tic those fibres and muscles which
nature is expanding, prevents numb
ness of limbs, and soothes the inflam
mation of breast glands. The system
being thus prepared by Mother's
Friend dispels the fear that the crisis
may not be safely met. Mother's
Friend assures a speedy and complete
recovery for the mother, and she is
left a healthy woman to enjoy the
rearing of her
child. Mother's Wff
Friend is sold at Plvtlivs *
