Cortelyou, yvhich read: 'Greatly desire that re quest in my letter of yesterday be com plied yvith.' " Offers “Originals” To Committee. 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 'tune my letter to Sheldon was forgot* I ten by me ami I do not remember writ- I ing it now. It may be possible, but 1 do not think piobable that there are other letters in existence. Loeb re minded m< of the Bliss letter which I did not recall." "I regard to th* Harriman fund?" Would you be willing if I took up these contributions in succession?” "Yes; that will be satisfactory.” Before taking up the contributions I would like to say that there is no tes timony against me except hearsay evi dence anti the statements of men who are demi Penrose s and Archbold 's Evidence Hearsay.

"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 land invited to the white house James J. i Hill. I think I sent for J. P. Morgan in connection with current legislation. “At this moment some of the same newspapers that were carrying com ments on the reports that I sent for A chbold are also commenting that I sent for a Socialist. Brunyea. to help me draw up my platform As regard* | the Socialists, they a* e right. "I have always acted," continued the i forme president, biting off his words ’in typically Rooseveltian manner, "and always shall act on the assumption that if there be any man from whom I can gain am info" mation I shall send so- : I nim During my terms of office in th " I i white house 1 sent for trust magnates. | labor Daciers, Socialists.

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, "who confounds practicality with base ness is a person whose moral status is It’s a I :1~7 HANAN 3 /«/ \ Which means that it is IX / “ty/ MATCHABLE in st vie ami / J®/ \ / '=•/ I quality.

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 * Write for our free Friend book for expect- ant mothers which contains much valuable information, and many sug gestions of a helpful nature.
