"PREPARED TO
GO THE LIMIT"
CHARLES P. TAFT.
Gave Nearly $375,000 to Aid
Brother In Campaigns
WANTED PRESIDENT TO BE FREE
Dan R. Hanna, Ex-Speaker Scott, John
D. Archbold and Others Quizzed by
Campaign Fund Probers of Senate.
Charles 1'. Taft told the senae com
mittee investigating campaign funds
that he contributed $i:,9,3H!).:i0 to aid
in electing his brother president in
190X and that he had paid $213'92.4l
this year toward the expenses of se
curing the president's renomination iu
the Chicago convention.
Mr. Taft said his object in going
Into the campaign was to see that If
his brother was elected he should
"walk into the White House free of
any monetary obligation to any indi
vidual, great interest or corporation.
On this basis," he added, "I was pre
pared to go the limit. I believed my
brother was admirably equipped for
the position. I believed in his In
tegrity, his fearlessnes... and I be
lieved no one could bulldoze or use
him. The principal thing to be
obviated was the influence on any can
didate of any monetary Interest."
Mr. Taft's contribution in the pre
convention fight of 190$ was reported
to be $:!00,0,)0. If this latter figure is
correct Charies P. Taft has paid out
all told in the last four years the Im
mense sum of $675,000 to further his
brother's political ambitions.
Dan R. I'l.nna of Cleveland, backer
of the Roosevelt forces In Ohio this
year, followed Mr. Taft on the wit
ness stand. He testified that he gave
$177,000 to the support of the Roose
velt campaign for nomination this
year.
Hanna declared that he alone had
sustained the entire burden of the
financing of the Roosevelt fight for
delegates In Ohio. Mr. Hanna ad
mitted that he had dumped $127,000
into the Ohio campaign.
Former S-nator Nathan TV Scott of
West Virginia told of a telephone con
versation he had at the Republican
headquarters in New York with some
one in the White House whom he be
lieved to bo President RooBevelt.
According to Senator Scott, the man
In the White House declared that he
would rather lose the national elec
tion than be defeated In his own state
and added: "I will send for Mr. liar
riman to see if funds cannot be raised
for Mr. Hlggins."
The authenticity of the majority of
the letters recently made public by
William R. Hearst, purporting to have
passed between John D. Archbold of
the Standard Oil company and mem
bers of the hoiiBe and senate was ad
mitted by Mr. Archbold.
Those letters of which far-simile
photographs have been published were
in almost every rase identified by Mr.
Archbold with the statement: "I un
doubtedly wrote that." These included
letters to and from Senators Hanna,
Foraker, Quay and Penrose, and for
mer Representatives Sibley of Penn
sylvania and Grosvenor of Ohio.
In regard to the gift of $100,000 to
the Republican campaign fund of 1904
Mr. Archbold admitted that the re
ceipt given by Cornelius N. Hliss for
the sum had been destroyed by him
self and H. H. Rogers, now dead. Ho
said bo had not been able to find even
a book entry of the amount on the
books of the Standard Oil company.
"I repeat that the money was paid,"
he said, "and was not refunded; that
It was paid by me to Mr. Uliss. I don't
want any man to tell me it was not."
E. T. Stotesbury of Philadelphia on
the stand said in 1904 he made col
lections among business men in Penn
sylvania in behalf of the Republican
national committee and the Republi
can candidate. He raised $l6."),7."9.r0
and turned that amount over to Cor
nelius N. Hliss, the treasurer of the
committee. Mr. Stotesbury collected
$:).'!, 000 from the steel interests and
this added to the $1.".0,000 contributed
by .1. P. Morgan makes a grand total
of $188,000 from Interests keenly con
cerned in tariff legislation.
Among those contributing to tho
1904 campaign at the instance of Mr.
Stotesbury were the Fulled States
Steel corporation, $12,77."i; the Ameri
can Hank Note company, $1,000;
Charlemagne Tower, $7,.'.00; Drexel &
Co., $.",000; Rethieheni Steel, $j,000;
Cambr Steel, $rp,000; William Cramp
f: Sons, $1,000; Mldvale Steel, $.'.,0011;
Pennsylvania Steel, $:,000; Philadel
phia Electric company, $2, .100.
In 190S Mr. Stotesbury again passed
the hat around among his business
friends in Pennsylvania, lie was not
as sitcressfu: that year. He harvested
only $loi,(U.t;7. The greater part of
the 190N yield were small contribu
tions. Mr. Stotesbury testified th-jt he con
tribttted $2.",0oo this year to Mr. Taft's
campaign fcr renomination.
William Ldwards. deposed Republi
can national committeeman of Charles
ton, W. Va., said that the Hull Moose
campaign in West Virginia cost not
eiore than $1,000 and that lie hired a
spec ial train and took all of the West
Virginia delegates to the convention
t his expei. .ie, including hotel bills.

OHIO SOLON PLEADS GUILTY
Representative Nye's Confession Stirs
Up Things in Buckeye State.
Dr. George H. Nye, Democratic rep
resentative in the last Ohio state legis
lature from Waverly, Pike county,
pleaded guilty to having solicited a
bribe for his vote on the Kimball bill.
The indictment charged that he
solicited a bribe of $1,000 from li. l
Kimball, the author of the bill, on
April 18, 1911. Dr. Nye wa3 not sen
tenced and probably will not be until
after the grand jury is reconvened.
Through the confession the prosecu
tion obtained corroborative evidence
to practically all its information of
graft in the legislature. Nye named
members of the legislature who ac
cepted bribes, gave evidence as to
money paid by lobbyists, named men
and concerns which provided this
money and named one man of nation
al reputation as the go-between. He
derlared t hut every word told by tlio
detectives in the cases of Senators
Andrews, Cetone and Huffman were
true. Huffman and Audrews have
been convicted.
The attorney general and prosecut
ing attorney said that Nye's confes
sion would lead to a scandal I'ar
greater than have been unearthed.

ROOSEVtLT SHOT
BY INSANE MAN
Colonel Only Slightly Wounded;
Maniac Arrested
BULLET HITS JUST OVER HEART
Would-Be Assassin One of Crowd at
Entrance of Milwaukee Hotel Bul
let Fired at Close Range, Aim Bad.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was
made the target of the pistol of a
would-be assassin Just as he was about
to leave his hotel in .Milwaukee, Wis.
It is believed the man who 11 red the
shot Is insane.
The man was one of the immense
crowd surging about the colonel, and
although he tired at close range, his
aim was bad aud he lullicted what is
said to be only a minor wound.
Immediately after the shot was
llred members of the Roosevelt party
sprung upon the man who had llred
the shot and who was endeavoring to
slink back into the crowd.
Henry F. Cochems, the former foot
ball star, who was close to tho
colonel, tore his way Into the crowd
and crushed the assailant to the pave
ment. It required the services of four
policemen to keep the man from being
dealt with summarily by the crowd.
The colonel was at first supposed to
have escaped uninjured, for after a
momentary start he smiled and putting
his hand under his coat for a minute
was seen to wince for an instant, and
then lie moved forward, stepped into
an automobile, spoke a word to his
associates and in another instant the
auto was whirling away toward the
Auditorium.
The fact that he had left for the
Auditorium gave every reason to be
lieve that he had been unhurt. When
he rose to speak at the .Auditorium,
however, the colonel said:
"An attempt has Just been made to
kill me. I am carrying the bullet in
my body now, and so I will have to cut
my speech short." He repeated this
statement repeatedly during the meet
ing. That Colonel Roosevelt was shot
was seen by the crowd in the Audi
torium when his white vest was Been
to be streaked with blood which was
oozing from the wound Just over his
heart.
A written proclamation found in the
clothing of tho man who did the shoot
ing reads:
"September 15, 1901, 1:110 a. m. In
a dream I saw President McKinley
sit up iu a monk's attire In whom I
recognized Theodore Roosevelt. Tho
president said: 'This is my murderer,
avenge my death.'
"September 12, 1912, 1::!0 a. m.,
while writing a poem someone tapped
me on the shoulder and said: 'Let not
a murderer take the presidential chair.
Avenge my death.' I could plainly
see Mr. McKinlcy's features. Ileforo
the almighty (Sod I swear this abovo
writing is nothing but the truth."
Another note found In the man's
pocket reads:
'So long a. Japan could rise to tho
greatest power of the world despite
her surviving a tradition more than
2,000 years old a.i (ieueral Nogi bo
