Continued From Page One. 000. I« there no further expenditure that you recall - .’ A. That 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 1 know. Q. Who was in charge of the Illi nois campaign ? A. I.awrehee B. Stringer, who is run ning for congressman at large. <J. 1 see in this report that you say $3,000 was all of the money spent in Illinois. Do you mean to say that that was the total expenditures in that state - ? A. I think it was. McCombs then stated that the total expenditures of the Wilson men in the pre-convention campaign amounted to $208.183. .’5, thus, a deficit of near ly $15,000 exists as a result of the pre convention fight. Identify of Princeton Friends. Senator. Oliver was particular to dis close the identity of the “f’rineeton friends" who 'conn ibuted to the $85,000 fund accredited to Cleveland & Dodge, and M . McCombs said that he had betn told by Mt. Dodge that Cleveland <?• Dodge had contributed 551.300. Thos. D. Jones $10,500. David P. Jones $10,500, Cy rus H. McCormick $12,500 and Ed wa d W Sheldon SI,OOO. He said that $3,000 was sent into. Illinois and that he was certain that the pre-con vention expenditures in ’Governor Wilson’s interest in that state did not exceed that amount. Senator Pomerene took up the ques tioning. Q. Who is Henry Morgan Thau? A. He is in the real estate business in Xew York city. He was introduced Io me as an enthusiastic Wilson man, whose oniy interest was in seeing Gov ernor- Wilson elected president.. He gave me four checks, totalling SIO,OOO. McCombs told the committee that he had no money to finance the Dakota primaries and that he gave a personal pledge to guarantee an expenditure of SIO,OOO by the local committee in that McCombs said that “in states like Connecticut, in which there were no primaries and in which we did not feei that Wilson bad a good chance, we spent very little money. No Promises Made. “There is not a dollar upon that statement which reflects any promise expressed o implied upon my part. There had b»en 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 Clar k 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 -late?' When A. B. Parker was sworn he was asked what he knew of contributions made doting his campaign for the pres idency in 1904. Judge Parker replied: So far as the Democratic party is Men’s Raincoats That Look Better and Wear Better Tlipy’re all new Fall models, cut in full proportions, and come in three-quarter and iull lengths.

E. C. Brown, one of the political bellig erents and the man who assailed the manager with a knifejpeclared he remem bered nothing whatever of the incident -not even the discussion and dispute over the mayor's race.

He made a plea for Brown, after which Judge Broyles fined Brown $1a.75 or thirty days. THREE BELIEVED DEAD IN BIG STORAGE PLANT FIRE DAVENPORT. IOWA. Oct. 14.

Who was your national committee chairman ? A. Tom Taggait, of Indianapolis. Q. Who was your treasurer? A. George Foster Peabody. Q. During the campaign you made nor inquiry as to the sources of contribu tions ? A. 1 did not. either - before or after ward. Q. Now, do you know anything con cerning contributions to campaigns other than your own that 'ear? Only Hearsay Evidence. A. I had some hearsay evidence. As to direct evidence, I have none. 1 had hearsay evidence on which I based the speech of October 24. 1904. 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 the pie-convention campaign of 1912 or upon those of 1904 and 19”8. He then submitted the fa mous series of speeches made from Oc tober 24 to November 5. 19C-4. in which he charged President Roosevelt with receiving the support of the moneyed interests of the East. Because of the approaching national election, the committee will com plete its work as rapidly as possi ble and then adjourn to formulate its report.
