5jF sSHINGTON. Oct. 18.—Medill Mc
f k, of Chicago, manager of the
v . n headquarters of the Progres
sive partv. today presented to the sen
s . , oinmittee investigating campaign
, Pl . ibutions a statement showing that
os t of the Roosevelt campaign in

v;l s called to the witness stand,
c first to testify today.. He read
ra , his prepared statement as fol
low s:
S i far as I know, the cost of th c
Roosevelt campaign in Illinois was de
frayed by Colonel Dewey and myself,
j £ra \. Colonel Dewey 516,000, and in
addition I gave not to exceed SIO,OOO
f or t,e maintenance of the Chicago
:lf .ad<i carters. Os the sums making this
amount. I kept no record.
I looked after the campaign in the
Mi ii district myself and I personally
expended another $2,500 in this district
in addition to the amount I gave Colo
i Dewey. 1 felt it necessary to ex
pend this mopey because the district
ha. been conceded to Taft."
\V • if,.! a few moments after he start
to read his statement Mr. McCor

and portions of his statement

f .-'iids owned any stock in the Har

f ing.-. incite weak-minded men to as-
nation.”
That reference has no place here,”

Cormick denied this.
About the S. P. Suits.
While McCormick was testifying a
letter was presented to the committee
from Joseph H. Call, special attorney in
the suits filed against the Southern Pa
cific railroad in California to annul a
99-year lease. This absolutely denied
the statement made by Judge Robert S.
Lovett, chairman of the executive com
mittees of the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific interests, that the suits w’ere
dismissed by the government in 1895,
nine years before the contributions
made by the Harrimans to the Roose
velt fund.
"If Judge Lovett made that state
ment," Call's letter reads, "it is unwar
ranted by the facts and untrue. The
dismissals were made July 10. 1905, by
Robert T. Devlin, United States attor
ney at San Francisco, upon orders is
sued by Acting Attorney General W. A.
Day, which was a few months after the
Harriman contributions had been made.
These cases were not only dismissed,
but the orders were made absolute and
not without prejudice to a n<?w suit,
called the Herriman merge ease.”
Missing Record Produced.
Elmer Dover, of Tacoma. Wash., sec
retary to the national committee of
1904 and once private secretary to Sen
ator Mark Hanna, of Ohio, took the
stand and declared that he had no per
sonal knowledge of any contributions
to the Roosevelt campaign that vea'.
save one, which he made on behalf of
the family of the late Senator Hanna.
He did not mention the amount.
Dover produced a list of contributors
of Roosevelt's 1904 campaign fund, al
leged to have been prepared by Corne
lius N. Bliss. He refused to permit the
document to appear as a part of his tes
timony, declaring it was "full of errors
and inaccuracies.”
Dover said that in many instances
initials and abbreviations were listed
Instead of full names, and there were
many repetitions. The document, he
asserted, had been in storage in Chi
cago since 1904.
The Dover list which occasioned much
discussion before the committee and
which contained records of contributions
from J. P. Morgan & Co. and from i
"G W. P." initials which Mr. Dover
said he thought stood for George W.
Perkins, was finally accepted by Chair
man Clapp "for what it is worth.” Do
ver said the list was made by A. E.
Fisher, formerly his secretary, bur now
in the employ of George B. Cortelyou in
New York. As soon as Chairman Clapp
got the statement in his hands he be
gan reading the contributions and
identifying the contributors.
Q. Do you know anything of this
contribution from Andrew Carnegie of
$10,000?
A. 1 do remember that.
Senator Clapp continued reading
from the list, which showed that Geo.
.1. Gould had given SIOO,OOO and S. T.
Wainwright, chairman of the Pittsburg
city committee, $25,000: E. H. Harri
man. $100,000: c. S. Mellon, now presi

DIAZ DEMANDS
NIADERORESIGN
Orders President to Quit Within
48 Hours—Well Known Men
in Provisional Cabinet.
VERA CRUZ, MEXICO. Oct. 18.—
General Feliz Diaz, commander-in-chief
of the allied insurgent armies and self
proclaimed provisional president, sent
a fotmal demand to President Madero
in Mexico City that the latter resign
within 48 hours.
Following this demand, the cham
ber of deputies today voted down a
resolution offered by Deputy Querido
Morenos, demanding the resignation of
the entire cabinet of President Madero.
This was the most decisive victory
won by Madero since he assumed of
fice.
At the same time General Diaz be
gan preparations to fight, for word was
received that Madero was sending 1.500
soldiers on troop trains to give battle
to the insurrectos.
The Diaz revolutionary government
is well supplied with funds, the cus
toms collector here having turned over
$500,000 to the rebel cause. The Diaz
revolutionists are the first to be equip
ped with a navy. They have two gun
boats.
Among the officers of the provisional
cabinet formed here are many well
known names. General Bernardo Reyes
is provisional minister of war and
Francisco De La Barra, former ambas
sador at Washington, is minister of
foreign affairs.
General Diaz issued a manifesto “to
the wo: Id" today, declaring that for
eign interests would not suffer and that
his only aim is to establish the peace
and security which formerly prevailed
throughout the republic.
A Ward line steamship •from New
York arrived here today. Many of the
American citizens on board landed, but
others, fearing hostilities, remained on
board the ship.

To Crush Rebellion
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 18—Facing the
most serious revolt which has menaced
his government since he became presi
dent. Francisco Madero sent an urgent
message to congress today demanding
authorization for a new loan pf $20.-
000,000 to make war upon the allied
insurgents.
So strong has the opposition become,
however, in the house of deputies that
it is regarded as doubtful if the mes
sage will receive serious consideration.
Reports early today that the local gar
rison has revolted and soldiers were
marching upon the national palace
caused intense excitement.
Thousands of citizens fled into the
streets and surged toward the presi
dential palace, but a heavy patrol of
mounted police suppressed serious
trouble.
There is a strong Diaz sentiment
here, but the police have orders to ar
rest any person creating a political
disturbance. This order is aimed al
anti-Madero demonstrations in the
streets.
A battle between federals who are
being poured eastward on troop trains
and the Diaz rebels is expected near
Cordonba. A heavy force of rebels lias
advanced to that point and government
forces were sent over the Inter-Oceanic
railway to dislodge them.
A report was current here today that
Tampico had been taken by adher
ents of Diaz.
