C. P. Taft Gave
$200,000 in 1908 |
{
Was Anxious to Have Brother Elected |
Free From Corporation Taint—Han-
na Gave $177,000 to Roosevelt. |
!
Charles P. Taft, half-brother of the
president, testified before the senate |
sub-committee investigating campaign
gontributions in Washington that he
egontributed $250,000 to the national
sampaign in 1908, and that $150,000
was returned. He also contributed |
$40,000 to che Ohio state campaign |
that year.
“I thought my brother was fitted for |
the presidency,” said Mr. Taft, “and
if elected, I wanted him to walk into
the White House without obligation to
any great interests or corporations.
On that basis I was prepared to go
the limit.”
Taft testified that his contributions
to the president's pre-convention cam-
paign this year for renomination to-
taled $213,592, of which $125,000 was
given to the national Taft bureau of
which Representative William B. Mc-
Kinley was director. To the Ohio,
state campaign $64,800 was given and
$23,000 went for miscellaneous items.
Senator Dixon, Roosevelt's campaign
manager, recently charged that C. P.
Taft had given $600,000 in his broth-!
er's fight in 1908,
Dan R. Hanna, of Cleveland, Ohio,
testified that he gave $177,000 to Colo-
nel Roosevelt's pre-convention cam- |
paign this year. To the Roosevelt na- |
tional committee he gave $50,000; to!
Walter F. Brown, for the Ohio cam-
paign, $50,000, and for state organiza-
tion in Ohio, $77,000.
Nathan B. Scott, former senator
from West Virginia, by relating a tel- |
ephone conversation with a “voice at
the White House,” Oct. 5 or 6, 1904,
threw more light on the “Harriman
fund” of $240,000 which went into the
Republican campaign coffers the year
Theodore Roosevelt was elected to the
presidency.
Mr. Scott said re was in the Re-
publican national headquarters in New
York when the ‘phone rang and the
“voice at the White House” wanted to!
speak either to Cornelius Bliss, the
national treasurer, or George B. Cor-
telyon, the national chairman. Neither
being present, Mr. Scott did the talk- |
ing. He was reluctant to identify the
“voice at the White House,” but he
finally said he believed it was Roose-
velt’s voice.
The “White House” wanted to know
what the trouble was about Higgins
and why the national committtee did
not help the gubernatorial candidate
in New York.
When told that there was no na- |
tional committee money available to |
ald in the state fight, the “White
House voice” said either that he
would have E. H. Harriman come |
down there, or that Harriman was |
coming, and that they would see what '
they could do.
Scott testified that Bliss had told |
him of collecting $100,000 from the:
Standard Oil company, and that when |
he suggested that Bliss ask the com-
pany for more told him Roosevelt had
forbidden contributions from that
source.
Judge Robert 8S. Lovett, chairman
of the executive boards of the South.
ern Pacific and Union Pacific rail
roads, who was close to Harriman in|
1904, also told of details of that quar
ter million dollar fund. |
Judge Lovett testified that Harri,
man had told him of a visit to the
White House and that President
Roosevelt wanted him to help the na- |
tional committee raise $200,000 for the |
New York state fight. i
The check of E. H. Harriman for |
$50,000 was the only one Judge Lovett |
could positively remember, but he
added that he thought W. K. Vander. |
bile also had given a like amount. |
This Information gave the committee
the names of four men who are said
to have contributed $50,000 each to
the Harriman fund: J. P. Morgan, H. |
McK. Twombly, Harriman and Vander. |
bilt. In adidtiong former Senator De:
pew said he gave $17,000 to the fund.

LOSES RACE, FALLS DEAD |
Maryland Horseman Dies When Mare |
Fails to Win Trotting Heat.
“The old horse is not as good as
she used to be,” said Lewis Campbell,
of Arlington, Md., to one of his help-
ers after having finished the second
heat in a trotting race at the York
county fair at York, Pa.
Then Campbell stepped from his
sulky and fell dead at the door of his
stables. The mare had finished fifth

Admits Guilt In Dynamite Case.
Edward Clark, former business
Cincinnati, changed his plea from not
guilty to guilty at the opening of the
federal dynamite conspiracy trial in
Indianapolis.
It was predicted that others of the
ple, and tz: many of the forty-six de-
fendants left would join a stampede
to throw themselves upon the mercy
The prisoner was then separated
from the other forty-five defendants
and taken to jail to await the impos-
ing of his sentence. Clark pleaded
ing a principal to the actual illegal
interstate shipment of dynamite and
nitro-glycerin.
Clark was business agent and presi-
dent of local union No. 44, of the In-
ternational Union of Bridge and Struc-
tural Iron Workers from January,
1908, to July, 1911. His activity in pro-
moting explosions, Mr. Miller asser.ed,
were carried on through letters writ-
ten by Frank M. Ryan, president of
the union, and the McNamaras.
Four Killed, Four Hurt In Train Wreck
Four trainmen were killed and four
others were more or less seriously
hurt in a head-on collision between a
train of empty passenger cars and a
| freight train at Kobeen, Pa., near Ship- |
pensbursg.
The dead are: E. S. McClain, con- |
ductor of passenger train; J. W. Fred- |
erick, fireman; C. R. Gordon, fireman; |
Frank Crause, freight conductor.
The freight train belonged to the |
| Philadelphia & Reading railway, which |
uses the Western Maryland between
Hagerstown and Shippensburg.
The wreck was a head-on collision,
the engines smashing into each other
with terrific force. Seven steel coal |
cars were wrecked and three passzen |
ger coaches broken to pieces, later |
taking fire. The passenger traiu was
running from Chambersburg to Shi;
pensburg to take an excursion to Ba, |
timore, and it (3 said the engineer dic-
i
regarded the signals. i
Short Shrift For Man Who Tried to |
Kill Victor Emmanuel. i
House, in the borough of Bellefonte, Pa., on
Antonio i’alba, the young anarchist
who attempted to kill King Victor
Emmanuel of Italy on March 10 in
Rome, was found guilty and sentenced
to thirty vears' solitary confinement.
This is equivalent to a life sentence,
to live thirty years in an Italian cell.
Accused of Slaying Wife. |
Accused of murdering his wife, Pat-
rick Enright, a rubber worker, was
arrested in Trenton, N. J.,, while he
was making arrangements for her fu
neral. He is alleged to have struck her
a fatal blow during a quarrel last Sat
urday.
Sudden changes of weather are espe-
cially trying, and probably to none more
so than to the scrofulous and consump-
e
never think of scrofula—its bunches, cu-
taneous eruptions, and wasting of the
bodily substance—without thinking of
the great good many sufferers from it
have derived from Hood's Sarsaparilla,
whose radical and permanent cures of
this one disease are enough to make it
There is probably not a city or town
where Hood's Sarsaparilla has not proved
its merit in more homes than one, in ar-
resting and completely eradicating scrof-
ula, which is almost as serious and as
much to be feared as its near relative,—
consumnotion.
