BUT GAVE TO SAVE PARTY WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Thomas F’ortune Ryan, the New York financier, testified before the senatorial commit tee investigating campaign contribu tions y today that he had contributed about $500,000 to keep the Democratic national campaign from collapsing in 1904. He said that he took this action, although he was unalterably opposed to the nomination of A. B. Parker and had favored the nomination of Arthur Pue Gorman, of Maryland. Today was the first time that Ryan has ever appeared as a witness before a senatorial Investigation. He was the first witness called. George W. Per kins, 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. "I went to St. Louis,” he said, "as a delegate from Virginia in 1904. Judge Parker 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 1 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 Io me, when it was perfectly apparent that Judge Parker could not be elected, and told me that the campaign would collapse unless I hey 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 contrlbtued abbut $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." Gave Both to Harmon And Underwood Funds. S.-nator Clapp asked Mr. Ryan: "How much of your contributions came from you personally?" "Every dollar 1 gave was my own. 1 did not get a cent from a corpora tion or anyone else."

Glasco, Jr„ clerk in the stationery department of the Southern railway, refused positively to accompany Glasco and his wife when they set out for Atlanta last night to make that city their future home. Along with other members of this department whose quarters were 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 case. • Missing her soon afterward, Glasco, suspecting that Cupid was at work, rushed down to the marriage clerk’s office at the city hall. “I 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 want a license issued to Adele Barham, fifteen years old, my adopted daughter." “Oh, I see,” observed 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 rela tive in South Richmond, and despite the entreaties of Glasco and his wife, refused to accompany them to Atlanta.

The committee will probably be forced to stop the laying of lateral sewers, though Chairman Aldine Chambers said he wants the work to go on if possible. The law provides that no new sewers shall be authorized after October 1. While sufficient work has already been authorized to keep the J. B. McCrary Company, the contractor, busy until the first of the year, the company is losing money on the contract and insists that the ordinances authorizing sewers not yet begun be repealed City's Engineers Complained Os. The city oould require a forfeiture of the bond of the company if all work already passed up by council is not completed, except that there are a number of serious complaints against the engineering methods of the con struction department. These charges have not been made public, but will be investigated by the special committee, which begins its ses sions tomorrow. The committee is to resume the investigation begun as a result of The Georgian's campaign be fore the citv primary The sewer committee and the bond commission today notified Chester A. Dady, contractor for the Peachtree Creek and Intrenchment Creek sewage disposal plants, that he must complete his contracts within the specified time or his bondsmen would be appealed to.

The present flow of the creek threatens to wasii away this sewer for a distance of about 150 yards. Protesting citizens along McLendon avenue discovered today that the con tract with the Southern Bitullthic Com pany does not specify when the work of paving this street is to begin. The contract recently signed states that the work must be completed within five months from the time it is begun, but the street is almost impassable, work has not begun, and the citizens are clamoring for relief.

The afternoon rehearsals are given over to the drilling of children, who will take part in some of the most brilliant numbers. The grownups who will appear in dances from the classic operas are being drilled at night. Perhaps the most striking feature of the Kirmess will be the dances figured in by members of the younger society set. At least a score of Atlanta buds are daily rehearsing a number of pic turesque dances, which are under the direction of Agostini. Among the ones prominent in the dances are Misses Amelia Smith, Katie Cooper, Elizabeth Smith, Janie Cooper, Sophie Hopkins and Lydia Nash. SAYS STOCK SALE IS USURER'S WILE Locomotive Engineer Declares in Suit That His Salary Will Not Pay Interest. According to R. L. Robinson, a rail road engineer, who appeared in supe rior court today as a plaintiff against sundry Atlanta loan agents, the very latest thing in excessive interest loans Is stock selling as a dodge to evade the law. Robinson maintained to the court that he borrowed SSB from the Guaran tee Investment Company and was as sessed a monthly Interest of $12.10. He said that T. L. McCurry, manager of the loan company, told him that $lO.lO of the amount went for the purchase of stock In the guarantee company. He said that no stock certificates were is sued him nor did he have a hand in the affairs of the company. Robinson, in an effort to get an In junction restraining various agents from taking his wages at the Southern railroad, told the court his adventures with several companies. He said that P. P. Jackson had in duced him to sign what is called “a thousand-mfle order,” described as an assignment of wages and the granting of a power of attorney. In the “thou sand-mile order." Robinson obtained $57 at twenty per cent monthly Inter est. His failure to pay brought a threat from Jackson, which, If exe cuted meant the loss of his job While tied up with Jackson and the Guarantee Investment Company, Rob inson says the Atlanta B’inance Com pany loaned him $25 at a monthly In terest rate of twenty per cent and took an assignment of wages, refusing to let him see the paper that he signed. He was led to believe that ft was merely a promissory note. In addition', he got S2B for $4.80 a month from W. Gar land Cooper In the same manner. Asa result, four companies, all hold ing “thousand-mlle orders” against him, are threatening to levy on his wages as an engineer. He told Judge Bell that the Southern railway made it a rule to discharge a man if an as signment order against his wages was presented for collection. After hearing the testimony, Judge Bell granted Robinson i* temporary re straining order and set the case for No vember 4. Robinson said his wages would not pay the interest, much less the principal, of his various loans. JONESBORO WITHOUT LIGHTS.

JIBED OF HOSPITAL. OFF FOR HOME “It’s Been the Longest Week of My Life,” He Declares, Quitting Cot. ALTHOUGH EXHAUSTED, HE STANDS TRIP WELL FORT WAYNE, IND., Oct. 21.—Fa tigued, but cheerful, and standing the journey better than the physicians had expected. Colonel Roosevelt reached here today on his way to Oyster Bay, Much of the long morning on the train was spent in reading. The colonel had an assortment of magazines and books in his compartment. He read fitfully, for snatches of half an hour, then laid aside the book, to take It up again later. In this way he passed the morn ing. A part of the time the strenuous former president openly and frankly did nothing at all but rest. His fatigue, however, caused no alarm to Drs. Scurry Terrell and Alexander Lambert, who accompanied him. “The colonel is just like any patient who has been laid up for a week,” said Dr. Lambert. “It is quite natural that he becomes tired. It means nothing but the natural physical condition of one who has been confined to bed. Be sides, ft must be remembered that the colonel has had cause for excitement in political conferences during his stay in the hospital." rhe colonel’s condition was so good that the official bulletin issued to the newspaper men about noon merely said the patient was resting well and was very comfortable. "I do not think it necessary to take his temperature and pulse,” said Dr. Lambert. Dr. Lambert said there was every reason to believe that the colonel would reach Oyster Bay in excellent condi tion. A week of absolute rest there would do wonders for him, the doctor added. Crowds Quieter At Railroad’s Request. The doctors were pleased when they found the people who gathered to watch the colonel's train pass generally re frained from shouting. After the train had left Valparaiso the crowds at the stations were smaller. The railroad of ficials had sent out a request ahead of the train that no big crowds gather and that no demonstration be made. At M arsaw, Plymouth and Winona Lake crowds hail gathered. They walk ed silently around the colonel's car The shades in his stateroom were pulled down before every stop. - "How’s the colonel?" was the eager demand at every stop. Some member of the traveling party had to answer the question. When assured that the patient was getting along well there were unmistakable signs that the peo ple were pleased. “Teddy! Teddy!" shrieked a group ot railroad men at Plymouth. Colonel Cecil Lyon stepped to the back platform of the train and asked them not to disturb the colonel.
