TENEf! MANFULLY
MEETS ACCUSERS
Republican Nominee Fully An
swers Eitier Political Attack.
GIVES DETAILED STATEMENT
Ready to Redeem All Stock at Price
Paid From Any Purchaser Who In
vested Because of His Connection.
John K. Tener, RenulillcRn nominee
for governor, in a frank and manly
statement, has met the attacks of his
political opponents and given a com
plete answer to every Insinuation that
has been made In the Journalistic as
sault upon his character.
He has demonstrated that his con
nections with the companies in ques
tion have been straightforward and
honorable in every way. He has told of
his exact relations with the Utilities
enterprise, which he believed when he
became Identified with It it was a
feasible project, and he holds that
Is still a fact, and he has proclaimed
that he is ready to pay In full any
amounts that may have been paid Into
the company for stock, purchased be
cause of his connection with the corporation.
The attempt to discredit Mr. Tener
because of his relations with an in
surance company that has also been
made an issue In the state campaign
was upon the face of It so palpably a
political trick that no one took it seri
ously.
Mr. Tener points out that this com
pany has been a success from the
stait, and that he Is still interested in
It financially.
Mr. Tener brands the attacks upon
him as unwarranted and malicious,
and In view of the rumors that have
been put In circulation by a coterie of
politicians, to the effect that he is to
be arrested, Mr. Tener boldly defiles
them to carry out their plot.
W. L. Chrisman, who is now presi
dent of the National Public I i Ities
company, when shown Mr. Tener's
statement, said: "It fully cover the
situation."
Mr. Tener'a statement reads as fol
lows:
Statement of Fact.
"Ordinarily I would pay no attention
to the falsehoods that have been ut
tered by an untruthful newspaper, but
it may be that some fair-minded men
have been misled by the way facts
have been distorted, and for this rea
son, and for this reason alone, I de
sire to make a short statement which
covers my position.
"In December of last year ! was vis
ited in Washington by William L,
Chrisman, Esq., an attorney of Phila
delphia, and F. L. Smart, who re
quested me to become president of the
National Public Utilities Corporation.
I had favorably known Mr. Smart for
sometime, but not knowing Mr. Chris
man made inquiry and learned that he
was a lawyer of excellent reputation
and with good business cennections. I
also leared that other reputable men,
(ioneral Kuwcll Thayer, Colonel Will
iam Hinder Wilson, Joseph S. Mack,
Frederick S. Hchoff, William H. Mar
gerum tnd Simeon Merrill, were di
rectors. "I wait also Informed that the com
pany had been Iw-ornoratei according
to law, was propeny organized and
could legitimately carry on the biisi
nens for which it was intended, which
was the building of a railroad from
Astoria to a point beyond Seaside In
the stale of Oregon. I also made in
quiry or those believed to be familiar
with the Ideality as to the practicabil
ity of the enterprise. Alter this I
concluded to accept the presidency and
served in that office, and as director,
during the first quarter of this year,
but as my labors in congress were
daily Increasing, because of Important
legislation then pending, which requir
ed practically all of my time, I re
signed from the company.. For some
reason or other my resignation was
not accepted at the time I tendered It,
but I received no salary as president
except for the months of January and
February, although entitled to the sal
ary for March.
$"111,000 par value of the stock was
sent to mo nnd I immediately y return
ed it with a letter stating that I
would not accept It as I had not earn
ed it and was not entitled to It. A
little later $20,000, par value, of the
stock was sent to me, which I also re
turned for the same reason.
A Feasible Project.
"I believed the object of this com
pany to be legitimate and notwith
standing the vicious attacks which
have been made against it I am not
convinced to the contrary, and today
am of the opinion that It could be
successfully carried out. Charles N.
Dennett, a civil engineer of high re
pute In his profession, whom I sent to
Oregon on my election to the presi
dency, reported favorably upon it and
sithln a wc.k passed has reiterated
that opinion, and has stated that If
eastern capital could not be had to
carry the work through local capl nl
there could be had to do it. I be
lieve that tr.e worst blow the stock
holders of this company hnve re
reived Is the result of unwarranted nM
mailt tons attacks through the columns
of this hypocritical newspaper,
"I never promoted the National Pub
lic Utilities Corporation; was not a
participant in its promotion; never
sold any of Its stock, or solicited any
body to buy any of its stock. My con
nection with It was entirely honorable
and stiatghtforward, as I have above
described.
"I am informed that about $.19,000
In cah (not nearly $2. ,000,000 as pub
lished) have been paid to the company
for stock, and to show that I do not
wish to evade any responsibility In
the matter, if any man, relying upon
my being president, or upon my name
being used in connection with this
company during the time I was presi
dent, presents proof to me that he
purchased any of the stock and paid
cash to the company I will take the
stock from him and give him exactly
what he paid for it In cash.
"Whatever has been done by this
company as respects the taking over
of any other or subsidiary companies
or enterprises, was before my connec
tion with It, ,and with which I had
nothing to do, but, I believe, and had
the right to believe, from the charac
ter of those who were In control, and
from my investigation, that all had
been properly and legally done,
"As to Messrs. Bromley and Haines
I never heard of them until be.
eame connected with the company and
pot until the matter was exploited by
yellow journalism did I ever hear any
idverse criticism affecting them,
A Successful Company,
"Concerning my connection with the
Security Life and Annuity company,
with others I sold my stock some
years ago and soon after, at the re
quest of the company's president, Mr.
W. O. Johnson, of Chicago, I again be
came a member of Us board of direc
tors and still serve in that capacity.
The company Is and always has been
eminently successful.
"In view of the scurrilous attacks I
believe It to be h1 more than just to
myself, as an assurance to the people
of my business integrity and ability,
to say that I am now and have been
for twelve years president of the First
National Bank of Charlerol, Pennsyl
vania; I am now and for several years
have been secretary and treasurer of
the Charlerol Savings and Trust oom
pany, and I have several other busi
ness connections all prosperous all
well managed, and all have the con
fidence of every one connected or hav
ing to do with them,
"I know that certain Interests are
striving to induce some one to be the
'tool' to issue (for political effect) a
warrant for my arrest. For the proper
condemnation of such conduct I con
fidently appeal to the sense of fair
play of the electors of Pennsylvania
and challenge my detractors to pro
ceed. I court any judicial investiga
tion, for I am ready to meet any and
all accusers in a court of justice in
stead of trying to answer hidden foes
who are straining evory point to ac
complish, for political purposes, my
business and political ruin."

SUSPECTS ARE HELD
FOR EXTRADITION
Supposed Dynamiters Had $12,
000 in Launch w!)sn Arrested.
Washington, Nov. 1. Marlon Letch
er, American consul at Aeapuleo, Mex
ico, sent a report to the state depig
ment on the arrest or the five passen
gers of the gasoline launch which re
cently put Into that port for fuel. They
are held as suspects In the recent
dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times
Dulldlng.
The sum of $12,000, Consul Letcher
i-nld. was found in the launch. Th
five men were Swan Kngdehe. Adolph
Adolphson. Pnn Archer, Ohl Carlson
nnd Harry Ham. The latter, the con
sul said, Is supposed to be Wilson B.
Evans, who Is said In be wanted bv
the Ixs Angeles police in connection
with the recent robbery of the Mer
chants and Farmers' bank of Los An
peles. The Information was forwarded to
Coventor Gillett of Callforn'a. If the
five men detained at Aripulrn were
Implicated In the Los Angeles Times
case, their extradition will probably
be requented.
PUT ON CIVIL SERVICE LIST
President Favors Taking Second and
Third Class Postmasters Out
of Politics.
Washington, Nov. 1. It was learned
definitely that the president will rec
ommend In his coming message to con
gress that second and third class post
masters be covered in the civil service
list.
Mr. Taft Intimated some time ago
that he would take such action. He Is
In favor of taking all collectors of cus
toms and internal revenue out of poll
tics and putting them under the pro
tection of the civil service.
It Is likely, however, that the sec
ond and third class postmasters will
be the only federal oflicehoHers who
will figure In this way In the next message.
