Continued From Page One. tuiti. Is there no further expenditure that you recall? A. Thar Is all the money spent by the national organization, and so far as I know that is all the money spent. Q. Would that apply to all the states? A. The report is complete, so far as I know. Q. Who was in charge of the Illi nois campaign? A. Lawrence B. Stringer, who is run ning- tin- congressman at large. Q. I see in this report that you say $3,000 was ail of the money spent in Illinois. Do you mean to say that tltat was the total expenditures in that state? A. I think ft was. McCombs then stated that the total expenditures of the Wilson men in the pre-convention campaign amounted to $205.153.,i5. thus a deficit of nearly $15,000 exists as a result of the pre convention fight. Identity of Princeton Friends. Senator Oliver .was particular to’di«- close the identity of the "Princeton friends", who contributed to the $85,000 fund accredited to Cleveland & Dodge, and M . McCombs said that h - lead be c n told by Mi. Dodge that Cleveland th Dodge liad contributed $51,300. Thos. D. Jones $10,500. David P. Jones $10,500, Cyrus H. McCormick $12,500 and Ed ward W. Sheldon SI,OOO. He said that s3.Otto was sent into Illinois and that he was certain that the pre-convention expenditures in Governor Wilson’s interest in that stalo did not exceed that amount. Senator POnterene took up the ques tioning. tj. Who is Henry ilorgan Thau? A. He is in the real estate business in New York city. He was introduced to me as an enthusiastic Wilson man, whose oniy interest was In seeing Gov ernor Wilson elected president. He gave me fiur check-, totalling SIO,OOO. McCombs told the committee that he had no money to finance the Dakota primaries and that he gave ape sonal pledge to guarantee an expenditure of SIO,OOO by the local committee in that state. McCombs said that "in states like Connecticut, in which there were, no primaries and in which we did not feel that Wilson had a good chance, we spent very little money. No Promises Made. "There is not a dollar upon that statement which reflects any promise expressed or implied upon my part. There had been no representation made except that this country needs a man like Wilson. "We were convinced that Wilson could not carry Illinois and we consid ered that money sent there would be wasted following the expenditure by the Clark people of large sums of money. In Pennsylvania both factions had in dorsed Wilson a year before. There fore, there was no need of spending money in that state." When A. R. Parker was sworn he wa asked what he knew of contributions made during his campaign for the pres idency in 1904. Judge Parker replied: "So far as the Demociatic party is i Men’s Raincoats That Look Better and Wear Better I lie? re all new Fall models, cut in full pi'<Tpo) tions, and come in three-quarter and I'tdl lengths.

Andrews, floor manager of the Bear ers' club, related to Recorder Broyles I today the story of a lively scene in the j club Saturday night, growing out of a ' fight between two members over the | mayoralty situation and in which he camel near being cut to pieces when he sought j to restore peace and order. E. C. Brown, one of the political bellig erents and the man who assailed the manager with a knife, declared he remem bered nothing whatever of the incident —not even the discussion and dispute over the mayor's race. As lie couldn't remem ber the affair, he made no statement as to whose candidacy he v as advocating at the time the row broke forth. Manager Andrews said that when the two members began fighting, he attempt ed to act as peacemaker, and that Brown attacked him fcvith a knife. Andrews re ceived a few scratches. He made a plea for Brown, after which Judge Broyles fined Brown $15.75 or thirty days. z THREE BELIEVED DEAD IN BIG STORAGE PLANT FIRE DAVENPORT. IOIVA. Oct. 14.

This was the speech in which he charged the Re publicans with receiving contributions from the trusts. Judge Parker said he had no infor mation bearing' on tlie pre-convention ■ campaign of 1912 or upon those of 1904 and 1908. He then submitted the fa mous series of speeches mad, from Oc tobc 24 to November 5. 1904, in which he charged President Roosevelt witli receiving the support of tlie moneyed interests of the East.
