After Telephone Call, Clapp Committee Is Told. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Judson C. I Welliver. a newspapei reporter now ! connected with the Munsey publica tions. swore before the senate cornmit ' tee investigating campaign funds that * Wayne MacVeagh told him that J. P. Morgan, following a request made by the "man in the white house." through E. H. Harriman contributed $30,000 to the Roosevelt, campaign fund in 1904. According to Welliver’* story. Mac- I Veagn was in Morgan s offices when a I telephone call for the financier was re- ' ceived. Morgan's secretary' told him' that it was Harriman on the wire. When he came back Morgan told Mac-' Veagh, the witness said, that Harriman had gone to Washington to dine with the president. "What do you suppose that man in the white house wants?'’ Morgan re marked to MacVeagh. according to the witness. Morgan then volunteered the information that Roosevelt wanted $50,000. and w'rote a check for that amount. ] Charles Edward Russell. Socialist I candidate for governor in New York. I who was an earlier witness, repeated bis version of the affair. According to ■ his testimony, SIOO,OOO was the amount demanded by Roosevelt. He named Welliver as his informant, and the newspaper man's testimony was called for. Harriman Eager To Talk. "I enjoyed thi* conversation with MacVeagh over two years ago,” said Welliver, "and therefore I do not recol lect the exact words of the story as told to me by Mr. MacVeagh, "But in the main it was as follows: "Mr. MacVeagh said he was in the i office of J. P. Morgan in October, 1904, when Morgan's secretary entered the room and asked Mr. Morgan to step to the telephone. As I remember the con versation with Mr. MacVeagh, he said Mr. Morgan was disposed to demur. At any rate, the secretary explained it was a call from Harriman, who was anxious to talk with Mr. Morgan. "Mr. Morgan went to the telephone, and after a few’ niopnents returned, ap parently’ displeased with tile result of the conversation. Mr. MacVeagh said Morgan was more or less displeased and said this: 'What do you suppose that man in the wihite house wants'? It seems that Harriman has gone off to Wash ington at the president's invitation to dine with him, and now the president wants more money.’ $50,000 Amount Demanded. "Fifty thousand dollars was lhe amount that Harriman had asked for, according to Morgan. MacVeagh face tiously’ observed that the $50,000 would not be a heavy drain on the Morgan finances. Morgan replied that he could stand the strain, and. as 1 recol lect MacVeagh’s conversation. Morgan then wrote a check for $50,000 and sent it to Mr. Harriman." Senator Clapp asked: "Are you certain that MacVeagh used Harriman's name in the conversation?" "Very certain." "And that sso.ooo—not SIOO.OO0 —was the sum asked ?" "Yes.” "I understand that Mr Harriman .said that President Roosevelt had asked him to ask Morgan to raise more mon ey." said Senator Pomerene. "Yes” LaFollette Spends $64,000. .1 J Hannan, who managed the presi dential campaign of Senator LaFol lette. of Wisconsin, testified before the committee that Charles R. Crane of Chicago, made seven con tributions to the senator’s fund, total ling 123.500. Previous testimony had been to the effect that Mr. Crane gave $70,000 to the LaFollette fund and the same amount to that of Governor Wil- . son. There was nearly $64,000 expended in i Stnato- LaFollette * vain efforts to se- ■ cure the Republican nomination. 1 Mr. Hammerling. who is also presi dent of the Association of Foreign Newspapers in New York, was the first witness He testified that manage'* of tne Roosevelt pre-convention campaign paid $5,500 for advertising in the foi- , eign newspapers of New York city.

Continued From Page One. thorities were notified that no mails would be handled during the forenoon. Whether an attempt will be made to handle any other trains during the day is problematical. No runs were at tempted during the night. For the first time since the strike, the Atlanta Union station threatened to become the scene of a riot, when nearly a thousand strikers and their fiientls met train No. 1. from Augusta, yester day afternoon. The train was brought in by a union engineer and a strike, breaking crew. Police Protection Asked From City. News that it was on its way drifted into strike headquarters, and an hour before it was due the station was filled with men. Police pro tection was asked, and Chief Beavers, with an automobile full of men and sixteen mounted officers, took charge of the station. When the train arrived it stopped at Central avenue, just out side the shed, and the crowd W'as kept back by the police. One man, who car ried a revolver, was arrested. The mob was forced out of the shed by the po lice, who formed a cordon across the station and drove the crowd back into Pryor street and away from the train. When the hour for the departure of No. 28 for Augusta arrived, the crowd was even greater, and the police again had difficulty in handling it. Agaip the strike sympathizers were driven back and an opportunity given the trainmen to prepare for the run. But after some time it was announced that the train would not be operated. A union engi neer was ready to take it out, but a full crew of strikebreakers could not be obtained. Nothing else has been op erated since the arrival of the passen ger from Augusta yesterday afternoon. No. 2. the early morning train, was not sent out yesterday, no crew being ready for it. Engineers Only Demand Protection. A strikebreaker caught in the streets yesterday afternoon and recognised by strikers and their friends, was given several blows before a policeman ar rived. A crowd in the Georgia yards, near Inman Park, was dispersed by po lice upon a call from officials of the road. The engineers are in a quandary to day. They are willing, officials of the road report, to take out trains in the daytime if given proper protection. The order of their union does not forbid their going out, but permits them to do so at their own personal risk. The an nouncement first sent out. that the union would forbid engineers to take out a. train, gave the impression down the line of the road that no union en gineers would work, and now any man in the cab is taken for a. strikebreaker, and is likely to receive rough treat ment. For this reason, many engineers declare they will not take out a train, even in the daylight hours, as they do not care to be taken for strikebreakers and perhaps fired on. BRYAN TO STUMP OHIO.

L. Neil, of Macon, Tells Bench Jurist's Actions Were Unheard Os. That Judge Emory Speer assumed the power of a dictator and used his office to satisfy his personal prejudices and bias were some of the charges made by Attorney W. L. Neil, of Macon, today before the United States circuit court of appeals in appealing the Henry case, made famous when Judge Speer gave to a daily newspaper an unsigned interview outlining his views of the question before it had gone to trial in the court over which he presided. Some of Attorney Neil’s charges are: That Judge Speer delivered an opin ion in his own handwriting, holding himself qualified to sit on a case. That before the case went to trial the. judge had sent an unsigned inter view to a Macon paper, declaring the interview to be of semi-judicial nature, outlining his opinions. That the judge was prejudiced and unfit to try the case, yet persisted in doing so. That the judge issued a peremptory order to try the case because he knew an affidavit of disqualification had been filed against him. That the judge declared that as his judicial chastity was at stake, he would himself hear the charges. Charged Effort To Conceal Fraud. That the judge declared before the trial that, the attorneys for Henry were endeavoring to conceal a fraud. That the judge publicly stated, in speaking of the Henry case: "It has often been my duty as a judge to con found the purposes of crime.” And that Judge Speer, in open court, used a chapter from the Book of David to pray the Omnipotent to deliver him from his enemies, insinuating that the attorneys for Henry were his enemies. "This is a case utterly without prece dent in the history of the United States,” declared Attorney Neil while detailing the facts of the case to the three appellate court judges. "A judge admittedly prejudiced, ab solutely disqualified by law, sitting on the question of his own right to pre side, and at last dismissing a case for no cause whatever except personal prejudice. The charges, as outlined before the three judges of the court, Don A. Par dee and Henry S. Newman, of Atlanta, and Edward R. Meek, of Texas, created a stir in the Federal court room. Followed Numerous Law Suits. The litigation originated in Macon in 1906. when C. S. Henry, of New York, entered into a contract to purchase cer tain real estate near Macon for 836.000. A number of law suits ensued and were brought to a head when a case was brought in the Federal court, before Judge Emory Speer. The charges were brought against Judge Speer, and an affidavit of disqualification was filed against him after an unsigned article relating to the case had been printed in The Macon Telegraph. The city editor of the newspaper made an affidavit tha Judge Speer had furnished him with the article and had given him instructions to not change it in any way. The article dealt exten sively with the points of the case, and showed the writer to be utterly op posed to the Henry interests. BECKER UN TRIAL A5 SLAVER OF ROSENTHAL Prosecutor Promises Chair for Assassin of Zelig Unless He Confesses. NEU YORK. Oct. 7. —Two hundred and fifty talesmen jammed the ■ou ■ room of Justice Goff in the criminal branch of the supreme court todav when Police lieutenant Charles Beck ■ was called to trial on the charge of murder in the first degree for instigat - ing the assassination of Herman Ros enthal. the gambler who was shot to death last July. In addition to these men, there was another panel of 50 from tflhich Justice Goff was to select a special grand jur.- of 23 to devote its time to the Rosen thal investigations. Motion by Attorney John F. Mcln tyre, of the defense, presented at :n» opening of court, that the trial be pcs poned for a week, was denied by Jus tice Goff. District Attorney Whitman as asserted that he could prove his charges, despite the assassination of "Big Jack” Zelig, the gangster who was slain Saturday night. Zelig was ’o have been an important corroborative witness for the prosecution. Eong before the hour set for the con vening of court the criminal courts building was surrounded by a great, crowd and police reserves from two stations were added to those on the scene. Police to Guard Trial. Throughout the trial extra police will be kept in the court room to prevent any gang outbreak such as has been anticipated ever since Jack Rose. Sain Schepps. Harry Vallon and Louis Web ber pledged their aid to the prosecution East Side gangsters are declared by attaches of the district attorney's office to have vowed to "get” these men. While Philip Davidson, alias "Boston Red Phil,” today reiterated his store that his murder of Zelig was on per sonal grounds and not connected with the trial of Becker, District Attorney Whitman was said to have evidence showing beyond any doubt that the “system” which brought about the death of Rosenthal as he was about to divulge graft secrets also accomplish- I the murder of Zelig to prevent his ap pearing as a witness against Becker In this connection it was learned to day that Mr. Whitman had been threat ened with death and his every move ■» now being closely guarded by arms?.’ detectives. These maintain their vig not only’ when the district attorney on the streets, but also at his home an in his office.
