WANTED TO SEE SOME _FUN. Chicago Youths Set Fire to Sleeping Boy’s Clothes. Chicago, April 3.—Three boys, ‘whose ages range from twelve to four- teen years, have been arrested here charged with setting fire to the cloth- ing of Michael Lacoco, a seventeen- year-old boy, while the Ilatter lay asleep in a hallway. The boys gave the names of Lester Hall, Walter Leonard and James White. Accord- ing to the story of one of the boys they wanted to see some fun. They first attempted to light Lacoco’s cloth- ing with a match, but were unsuccess- ful. They then went to a drug store and secured a bottle of alcohol, the contents of which they poured over the sleeper’s clothing. As the flames enveloped his body Lacoco was awak- ened and after a futile attempt to ex- tinguish the flames he rushed into the street, where he fell unconscious. He ‘was taken to a hospital, where his con- dition was said to be serious. WOUND RESULTS FATALLY. Son of Milwaukee Millionaire Victim of Saloon Fight. Racine, Wis,, April 3.—Jacob C.

BAILROAD MAN SPRINGS SENSATION DECLARES HE RAISED BIG SUM FOR REPUBLICANS AT RE- QUEST OF ROOSEVELT. Washington, April 8.—President Roosevelt emphatically denies the gtatement contained in a letter pub- il;hed in New York purporting to hdte been written by E. H. Harriman to §idney Webster of New York in the latter part of December, 1905. In r. Harriman’s letter the statement is de t at the request of President jodevslt he, Haifiman, assisted in ralslng a fund of §200,000 to be used i earryitig New Yotk for the Repub- 1{ean party at the election which was then dpproaching. This statement the president characterizes as “a deliber- ate_and willtul untruth—by right it should be cheracterized by an even shorter and more ugly word. I never réquested Mr. Harriman to raise a dollar for the presidential campaign of 1004, ‘he president’s denial was con- taited in a brief statement and in dbples of letters he had written to Representative Sherman of New York. ‘Thé letters are dated Oct. 8 and Oct. 12, 1905, respectively. The president, after furnishing the letters to the press, dictated the following state- ment: “After writing these letters to Con- gressman Sherman the president was assured that Mr. Harriman had not made the statements which Mr. Sher- man credited him with making. Inas- much as the same statements appear in the major part in the letter of Mr. Harriman now published the president deems it proper that the letters he sent to Congressman Sherman last October shall now themselves be made public.” Harriman Dislikes Roosevelt. In the first letter reference is made to a conversation between Mr. Harri- man and Mr. Sherman, which was re- peated to the president, in which Mr. Harriman is said to have given as a reason for his personal dislike of the president partly the latter’s deter- mination to have the railroads super- vised and partly the alleged fact that after promising Mr. Harriman to ap- point Senator Depew ambassador to France he, the president, failed to do it, “and,” continues the president, “I understood you to say that he alleged that I made this promise at a time when he had come down to see me in Washington when I requested him to raise $200,000 for the Republican pres- {dential campaign which was then on.” Some correspondence between the president and Mr. Harriman is then Fuqted, th® intention being to show hét Harriman favored Hyde as well as Depew for ambassador to France and that the president did not request Harfiman to come to Washington in the interest of his own campaign and that he did not make any request of 4hy kind for financial help. Harriman is further accused of saying he fa- vored “Hearstism and the like, be- dausé those people are crooks and we can buy them.” This, the president says, was doubtless partly in boastful cyhicism and partly in a burst of bad temper, but it showed, in the pres- Kent‘s opinion, a cynicism and deep sated corruption which he denounces 18 strdfig words. AT ROOSBVELT'S REQUEST. Harriman Says He Raised $200,000 for Republicans. New York, April 3.—A sensation has beerl created here by the publication of a letter written in December, 1905, and addressed to Mr. Sidney Webster of New York and signed “E. H. Harri- man.” Following is the letter: “I am glad to see that you are in town and hope soon to have an op- portunity of talking matters over with You. “I had printed copies of the testi- mony sent you in hopes that you would, after reading them, give me some idea of where I stand, for I con- feSs that I feel somewhat at sea in the whole insurance matter. The trouble originated in my allowing my- self to be drawn into other.people’s affairs aud partly from a desire to belp them and at their request. “As to my political instincts, to which you refer in your letter of Dec. 13, I am quite sure I have none and my being made at all prominent in the political situation is entirely due to President Roosevelt and because of my taking an active part, in the au- tumn of 1904, at his request and his taking advantage of conditions then created to further his own interests. If it had been a premeditated plot it could not have been better started or carried out. Summoned to Washington. “About a week before the election in the autumn of 1904, when it looked certain that the state ticket would go Democratic and was doubtful as to Roosevelt - himself, he, the president, sent me a request to go to Washing- iton to confer upon the political condi- Itions in New York state. I complied (and he told me he understood the campaign could not be successfully carried on without sufficient money and asked if I would help them in raising the necessary funds, as the national committee, under control of Chairman Cortelyou, had utterly failed of obtaining them and there was a large amount due from them to the New York state committee. “I explained to him that I under- stood the difficulty here was mainly | caused by the up state leaders being unwilling to support Depew for re- |election: as TUnited States senator; that if he, Depew, could be taken care of in some other way I thought that ' thie matter could be adjusted and the different contending elements in the varty brought into alliance again. We tatked over what couid be done for Depew and finally he agreed, if found necessary, he would appoint him as ambassador {o Parig. Assisted in Raising $200,000. “With full belief that he, the pres- ident, would keep thiu agreement I eame back to New York, sent for Treasurer Bliss, who told me that I was their last hope and that they had exhausted every other resource. In his presence I called up an intimate friend of Senator Depew, told him that it was necessary in order to carry New York state that $200,000 should be raised at once and if he would help I wouid subscribe $50,000. After a few words over the telephone the gen- tleman said he would let me know, which he did probably in three or four hours, with the result that the whole amount, including my subscription, had been raised. “The checks were given to Treas- urer Bliss, who took them to Chair- man Cortelyou, If there was any among them of life insurance com- panies or any other like organizations of course Cortelyou must have in- formed the president. I do not know who the subscribers were other than the friend of Depew, who was an in- dividual. This amount enabled the New York state committee to continue its work, with the result that at least 50,000 votes were turned in the city of New York alone, making a differ- ence of 100,000 votes in the general election. Ryan-Root-Roosevelt Element. “This is the way I was brought to the surface in political matters, as I had never before taken any active part and had only done what I could as any private citizen might, so you see I ‘was brought forward by Roosevelt in an attempt to help him, at his request, the same as I was in the insurance matter by Hyde and Ryan, by their request for my help; and in the case of Ryan I probably would have dropped the matter after our first interview had it not been for my desire to save Belmont from taking a position for which he could have been criticised by the public press. As he was the one Ryan desired me to influence from opposing Morton for election as chair- man of the Equitable board, and Bel- mont afterward thanked me for taking his part, as if he had voted against Morton in view of his local traction connections with Mr. Ryan it would have been misconstrued. “Ryan’s success in his many trac- tion deals, tobacco combinations, manipulation of the State Trust com- pany Into the Morton Trust company, the Shoe and Leather bank into the Bank of Commerce—thus covering up his tracks—has been done by the adroit mind of Elihu Root and this present situation has been brought abcut by a combination of circum: stances which has brought together the Ryan-Root-Roosevelt element. “Where do T stand?” ON CAPITAL OF $10,000. One New York Poolroom Clears $250, 000 Annually. New York, April 3.—The poolroom situation in New York is again at- tracting attention, following two im- portant raids made by the district at- torney’s office. One of the places raid- ed was in Lower Broadway and the other at 112 Fulton street. Both ap- parently were distributing points of information for a chain of poolrooms and important books and papers re- garding the illegal business, together with a list of names of patrons, some prominent in business and official life, were seized. District Attorney Jerowe has had his assistants examine the seized doc- uments and he has made public some of the surprising things they found. The books showthat five men in the Fulton street poolroom syndicate made a profit of over $20,000 monthly for many months. The profits for a year are placed at $259,000, indicating what little chance a majority of betters have. These immense profits, it is stated, were made with a capital- of $10,000. The patrons of the poolrooms in- cluded men prominent in business, | social and official circles, according to ! records, letters and checks found. The names of many of these men will be made public through grand jury pro- ceedings which the district attomeyi is about to institute, RUEF APPOINTEE LET OUT. 8an Francisco Supervisors Remove Their Secretary.

It was voted for by all the supervisors present ex-: cept Tvietmoe and O’Neill, the latter two members of the board appointed by Mayor Schmitz and who have not | destroyed by fire. been implicated in the charges of-al- leged corruption. After the resolution ‘was adopted Gallagher announced the board would have nothing more to do with Ruef and that Kean was a Ruef man. PRESIDENT IN SYNDICATE.
