WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Thomas
Fortune Ryan, the New York financier,
testified before the senatorial commit
tee investigating campaign contribu
tions today that he had contributed
about $50,000 to keep the Democratic
national campaign from collapsing in
1904. He said that he took this action,
although he was unalterably opposed to
the homination of A. B. Parker and
had favored the nomination of Arthur
Pou Gorman, of Maryland.
i Today was the'first time that Ryan
i has ever appeared as a witness before
(a senatorial investigation. He was the
i first witness called. George W. Per
: I'.ius, former partner of J. P. Morgan
and a leading supporter of Theodore
Roosevelt, was the second witness. Mr.
Ryan’s testimony being brief. Ryan
told the committee he was engaged in
agricultural pursuits in Virginia and
then volunteered a statement of his
connection with the 1904 campaign.
Opposed Nomination
Os Judge Parker.
”1 went td St. Louis." he said, "as a.
delegate from Virginia in 1904. Judge
Packet was a candidate for the presi
dency at that time and his friends
sought to enlist me in his campaign;
but I opposed his nomination, being in
favor of Senator Gorman. Judge
Parker was nominated in St. Louis, but
I took no part in aiding his nomina
tion and furnished him with no cam
paign funds.
"After the committees were organ
ized in New York I made the national
party committee a contribution of $50,-
000. Later 1 contributed to the na
tional party small sums to SIOO,OOO.
Toward the end of the campaign mem
bers of the national committee came to
me. when it was perfectly apparent
that Judge Parker could not be elected,
and told me that the campaign would
collapse unless they had financial aid.
In the interest of the Democratic par
ty just at the close of the campaign,
so the party workers throughout the
country who were trying to keep the
party together would have the aid they
thought necessary. 1 contribtued about
$350,000 and paid the debts of the com
mittee so that at the end of the cam
paign there were no outstanding obli
gations."

Pretty Fifteen-Year-Oid Adele
Barham Runs Away When Fos
ter Parent Starts to Atlanta,.
RICHMOND, VA.. Oct. 21.—Petty
fifteen-year-old Adele Barham, adopt
ed daughter of J. W. Glasco. Jr., clerk
in the stationery department of the
Southern railway, refused positively to
accompany Glasco and hie wnfe when
they set out for Atlanta last night to
make that city their future home.
Along with other members of this
department whose quarters wore re
cently transferred from Richmond to
Atlanta, Glasco began preparations
Saturday for the trip to the Gate City
While he and his wife were busily
engaged packing their trunks, Miss
Barham disappeared from home, taking
some of her effects with her in a suit-
Missing her soon afterward. Glasco,
suspecting that Cupid was at work,
rushed down to the marriage clerk’s
office at the city hall.
"T want to stop a wedding if a girl
attempts to get married.” he told Clerk
Walter Christian, nearly breathless. "I
am a Southern railway clerk and I must
leave tomorrow night for Atlanta."
"I don’t quite grasp the situation,’’
interposed Christian.
“In plain language.” went on Glasco.
"I don’t \\X” l ” license Issm d to Adele
Barham, fifteen years old. my adopted
daughter."
"Oh. 1 see," obseived the clerk, who
explained that no license had been is
sued up to that time to the girl and
none would be without his consent.
Glasco then hurried to police head
quarters and asked that a search be
made for the girl. Late Saturday night
she was located at the home-of a rel.-v
--ilve iii South Rlvhmontl. and despite
the entreaties of Glasco and his wife,
refused to accompany them to Atlanta.
G lasco ex plained to the report* : s I ia i
the young man in whom the gitl is in
terested "wears knee pants and is the
veriest kind of a kid."

Atlanta Elite Seizes
Turkey Trot to Break
Monotony of Dances
Step, Barred By Many, Features
Affair at Ultra Fashionable
Driving Club.
Atlanta’s socially elite have adopted
the turkey trot as their own. The
dance, barred by so many fashionable
resoits and clubs, has found true ex
pression at the exclusive and ultra
fashionable Piedmont Driving club.
At the dance Saturday night, the first
big dinner-dance of the season, the tur
key trot was given its first real tryout
in Atlanta, it was danced by all, from
the stately matrons and men of affairs
to the season’s debutantes an-d the boys
just out of college.
They all like it. Sticklers for the
proper declare it is wholly refined.
Just now the big question is whether
the turkey trot shall be permitted at
the debutante balls. Mothers are put
ting their heads together and it may oe
that Atlanta will see the gayest social
season of Its history, with the turkey
trot the real dance and the waltz and
the two-step sandwiched in merely for
variety.
A big dance is already planned for
Halloween night at the Brookhaven
club, when all can dance the turkey
trot to their hearts’ content. Social
leaders say they believe the danee will
be adopted by the Capital City and
the Athletic dubs by the beginning of
another season.

Crowds Cheer at Mercy’s Door
and Shout Good-Bye at the
Railway Station. z
’ HICAGO, Oct. 21.—Twelve hours
less than one week from the time he
was shot by John Schrank in Mil
waukee. Colonel Theodore Roosewlt
today left t'htcago tor his home In
Oyster Bay. For six days he has lain
in Mercy hospital. For three days he
has been impatient to start for home,
"So we are going at last." he re-
I marked as the final preparations for
the trip were made. "I am glad, ft’s
been the longest week I ever spent in
my life."
With an escort of $0 police, the
wounded former president was tajken
to the station and placed aboard fits
private car on the Pennsylvania train
leaving for New York at 8:15 o’clock.
Elaborate preparations were made to
prevent any other attempts against bls
life. Police surrounded the limousine
In Which he made the trip to the sta
tion. Others were on the tops of lower
buildings along the route to prevent
unexpected attacks from such points of
vantage.
Crowds, gathered at the hospital gate
and at the station, shouted hearty
good-byes to the colonel and his party.
Avzake at 6. a. m.
After Sound Sleep.
The colonel rose at f> a. m.. after a
night of sound, restful sleep. Then he
ordered his last breakfast as a Mercy
hospital patient.
With t hr exception of a few minor
detaJbi. all packing had been done. The
menu for the colonel’s breakfast had
been approved by Mrs. Roosevelt be
fore she retired and was soon brought
in.
The morning meal included poached
eggs, bacon, toast, tea. muffins and a
cereal.
Mrs. Roosevelt had risen a quarter of
an hour before her husband woke and
she joined him at breakfast. A little
table was set up beside the colonel’s
bed. Both nurses. Miss Margaret Fitz
gerald and Miss Blanche Weller, as
sisted in serving the meal.
At 6:30 a. m. Drs. John B. Murphy,
Arthur D. Bovan, Scurry L. Terrell,
Alexander O. I-ambert and William Mc-
Cauley arrived for the final examina
tion of the former president. They ad
justed the bandages and dressing-.
After a brief consultation they an
nounced that no unexpected symptom
had developed and that the trip might;
he begun in safety
"I’m fit to go to war," said the colo
nel. laughingly, after the physicianshad
completed the examination. “I’ll get
through this In fine shape, thanks to ail
you men."
Doctors and Patient ,
In Jovial Mood.
Roth Doctors Murphy and Bevan
were in jovial mood as they paid their
final call on the big chief of the Bull
Moose party. The final professional
visit was transformed into a social call.
Mr. Roosevelt was in a high good
humor and as he was being prepared
for the trip shouts of laughter, In which
the physicians joined, could be heard
from his room.
"Don : get too gay now and you'll be
all right." was the advice of the doctors
as they prepared the colonel for the
automobile trip to the station.
"I ll be good—l’ve got to," the colonel
rejoined.
Just before time for departure tj/fn- N
peruture and pulse were taken. The
stress of preparation for the journey
had not affected either. Shortly there
after the following bulletin on Colonel
Roosevelt’s condition was issued:
"Pulse, tempi- ature and respiration
normal. Wound still discharging set um.

tion sensitive to pressure. Position oC
