NOMINATION Announces That Evidence Will Be Submitted to Senate Com- mittee—Archbold of Oil Trust Agrees to Appear Before Sub-committee Today—Oil Trust Contribution Spent Before Roosevelt Directed Cortelyou Not to Accept It. Washington, Aug. 22.—John D. Arch- bold of the Standard Oil company will Rppear at 9.30 tomorrow morning be- fore the sub-committee of the senate Investigating campaign contributions. This announcement followed a day of pitter political recrimination on the ¥loor of the senate, devoted to an ef- gort to show that former President Roosevelt knew that funds contributed by big corporations were used to help elect him in 1904 Reed Joins Penrose in Attack. The attack on former President Roosevelt today originated in a col- Joquy between Senator Reed of Mis- mouri, a democrat, and Senator Pen- yose of Pennsylvania, who presented a resolution demanding an Investigation bt the circumstances set forth in his ptatement to the senate yesterday, in which he charged that $100,000 of Btandard Oil money went into the 1904 Roosevelt campaign fund, with Presi- dent Roosevelt’s knowledge, Senators Penrose, Reed and Willlams each at- tackeq Colonel Roosevelt, and Sena- tor Poindexter of Washington, a sup~ of the new progressive party, eame to his defense, Senator Poin- gexter charged that a esmbination of ®regular republicans” and demecrats was at work to defame Colone] Roose-~ yeit, Archbold Agrees to Appear. The decision to saummon Mr. Arch- boild at once was made by Benator Ciapp earty In the day, before the Interrogation of Benator Penrose by Benator Reed began. He got into communicated with Mr, Archbold in New York by long distance telephone snd the Standard Oil official agreed to sppear, Senator Pomerene of Ohlo was designated to sit as democratic member of the special committee until the return of either Senator Lea or Eenator Paynier, The debate between Senators Reed and Penrose was marked by the readi- pess with whieh the latter replied to Benator Reed’s questions, Early in the sfternoon the two senators, with Sen- elor Smith of Maryland, had held a ghort conference in ene of “the reoms #djoining the senate chamber, $3000000 from Perkins in This Cam- paign, Senator Penrose, in answer 1o ques. tions from Senator Reed, declared that *aocording 1o his information” Colomel Roosevelt knew that $100,000 of Stand- mrd Oil money had been received and spent in 1904, beforé he wrote a letter directing that any Standasd Of] con- tributions be returned, A new element was injected inte the political imbrog- Jio when Benator Penrese suggested to Benator Reed: “There has come o my notice quite & lot of information leading to the thought that some three million doi- lars was underwritten by George W. Perkins and his associates to nomi- nate Mr. Roosewelt for the presidency of the regular republican party in the present campaign for their own per- sonal use, Largest Campaign Fund in History. “Evidence regarding this matter will be submitted to the r sepate com- mittee for consideration, The ulti- mate object of this enormous fund was the control of the republican party in the interests of the element represent- ed by Mr, Perkins, The largest cam- paign fund in the history of the Unit- ed States for a nemination was raised for Mr, Roosevelt for the primaries laet winter.” Alleged contributions of $100,000 each by the Missour! Pacific and the Bouthern Pacific railroads to the Roosevell campaign fund in 1904 were mentioned by Senators Reed and Pen- rose, Senator Penrose declaring that President Roosevelt was always in cloge tonch with the national commit- tee managing his campaign. Reed Attacks Perkins. When 'the colloquy between Sena- tors Penrose and Reed was concluded, Eenator Reed made an extended :gne«h attacking Roosevelt, re-opening e guestion of the $250,000 collected for the republican campaign fund in 1904 by E. H, Harriman, and placing n the record all of the so-called “Archbold” correspondence recently published. Senator Reed also attacked George W. Perkins, at present one of the leaders of the new progressive party. Poindexter Defends Roosevelt. When he concluded Senator Poin- dexter took the floor and character- ized the day's proceedings as a “com- bination, an understanding, an alli- ance,” between the machine republi- cans and the machine democrats against progressive principles. He ob- jected to the immediate consideration of the resolution presented by Sena- tor Penrose, and a sweeping amend- ment presented by Senator Reed, and both went over., The resolution was not needed, however, to allow the cam- paign contributions sub-committee to proceed with its invitation, Senator Reed and Senator Williams denied any “alllance” between Sena- tor Penrose and the democrats, “We huni bull moose today,” said Senator Wiliims, “and elephant to- morrow.” Morgan Interests Would Own Presi- dent, In the course of his speech, Senator Reed attacked at length the so-called Morgan interests and concluded with the declaration: “That concern, It seems to me, hav- ing cornered the iron and steel husi- ness of the land, largely contrelling fts banks and Its (rust companies, 3d its transportation lines, hus con- cluded at last that the time has come when It can own a president, They plarted thelr handy man Perkins out to finance his campaign and they thought they would win, They got in wo deep before they knew it that they could not get buck up, and now they are standing before the American peo- ple almost apologizing for their exist- ence, and Roosevelt is (rving te pre- tend to the American people that Per- kine f& here like a man already re- pentant, ocoming with tear-glained eyes to make up for past misdeeds— a stranger in the Roosevelt camp.” The Oil Trust Contribution. Senator Reed said that Colonel Roosevelt's statement yesterday in re- ply to Senator Penrose and the publi- cation of the Cortelyou letters had puggested some ,questions he wanted to_ask. He called attention to the fact that the Archbold letter to Senator Pes rose, announcing an enclosure of $25 000, bore date of October 13, 1904, “Can the senator state whether the | $100,000 which was also paid by the BStandard Ofl people, was paid on or rlor to the thirteenth day of Octo- er? he asked, Senator Penrose said he thought it was pald “on or about that time, per- haps a little time before.” Letter Intended for Future Reference The letter President Roosevelt wrote Chairman George H, Cortelvou of republican national committee telll him to accept no contributions from the Standard Oil company, “‘was sent a week before the election,” Senator Penrose declared. “As I understand the senator, then, tgs money had been received beforo this letter of Mr. Roosevelt was dated,” said Senator Reed. “Consideraifly,” rose. sald Senator Pen- “Had the money been spent, or was it on hand, was it in fact returned,” asked Senator Reed. “The information T have always had as to the transaction was that Mr. Roosevelt was advised that the money had been spent and could not be re- turned, and the letter was sent to make a record for future reference,” replied Senator Penrose, No Contributions Returned, “Can the senator state in faet whether the letter was written in full knowledge that the money was drawn?” asked Semator Reed, *That ig my distinct informatien and alse the information of many others,” said Senator Penrose, “Pe you know that any large sams of money were contributed te the na- tional republican committee in 1904 that were returned te the domers?” asked Senator Reed. “The returning of eentributions is gueh a rare iastance on the part of the political committee that if there had been any other case it would have made a profeund impression on my mind aad I de not recall any others,” replied Senator Penrose, Gould Interests Also Contributed, Semator Reed asked whether Mr. Penrose knew of any contributions to the campaign fund of 1904 by the Mis- souri Pacific, Southern Pacific or Gouid interests, “1 have no direct knowledge,” Mr. Penrose answered, “simply my infor- mation at the time that large contri- butions were made from those inter- “You mean that while actively en- gaged with the republican national committee as a member of that com- mittee you understood that those in- terests had contributed heavily to the fund 7" “That is correct.” Roosevelt Kent Track of Committee. “To what extent were the acts of the national committee concealed from Mr, Rooseveit?" asked Senator Reed. “My observation of Mr. Roosevelt,” said Peénrose, “has been that he was well caleulated to have pretty superior knowledge ahout everything that was going on in the national committee, I do not think there w a day, and in gome days, an hour in the day, that the chairman of the national commit- tee was not in communication with him over the telephone.” Senator Penrose emphasized the fact that President Roosevelt had named George B. Cortelyon, his former secre- tary and cabinet officer, as chairman of the national committee, and ex- pressed the opinion that Mr. Cortelyou did not conceal anything from the president in the matter of committee affairs or contributions. Purpose of the $3,000,000. Sepator Stone wanted to know how the $3,000,000 which Mr. Penrose had sald was raised for Colonel Roosevelt was used. “I meant to state,” Penrose, “that the object of this un- precedented campaign fund was the ultimate control of the regular repub- lican nomination in the convention held in June in Chicago which nomi- nated Mr. Taft for president and Mr. Sherman for vice president. What un- derwriting has occurred since then for the third party remains to be develop- said Senator Borah Makes an Inquiry. Senator Borah interrupted to ask about the activities of the republican national committee at the Chicago convention. “The majority of the national com- mittea exercised every ‘opportunity possible to restrict and restrain the ef- forts to purchase colored Taft dele- gates at $5,000 a head,” replied Sena- tor Penrose, . “I gupposs the senator is not pre- pared to state how they got them back?’ asked Senator Borah. “We got them back by appealing to their manhood and thefr reputation for honor and Integrity, and fn almost every case we got them back,” Mr, Penrose answered. Bitter Retort by Borah, “1 take it, Mr, President, that the men who would wander off the reser- vation for the purpose of raising the Fnuu aould not have very mach man- hood left to appeal (o, to get hack,” Benator Borah said, When the senate cane te the final esnsideration of the Penross resolu- tion Senator Peoindexier insisted that it g6 ever until temorrew, Senators Bristew and Clapp, both of whom are Togressive assoeiales of Senator oindexter, urged him to withdraw his ebjeetion, but he imsisted that he wanted time te examine it, " Poindexter Asked to Shew Up Taft, Benstor Reed declared the demo.

Colonel Roosevelt’s speech was made in the armory, at a meeting held in connection th the jubilee of the Rev. Father Curran. * After Colonel Roosevelt had paid a tribute to Father Curran, he sald in part: “The proof of the puddipg is in the eating. Hvery trust-controlled news- paper in the land is doing everything in its power to beat me. Do you think that those trust papers would be try- ing to beat me if I had been satis- factory to the Standard Oil company and that crowd?

Washington, Aug. 22.—The state de- partment is determined to extend the fullest possible measure of protection to American life and property in Nicaragua. It was announced today that if the naval forces now in that country, even when heavily reinforced by the large marine contingent now being assembled at League Island and the several hundred bluejackets en route to Corinto on the California and the Denver, are not sufficient to assure that protection, more forces will be rushed forward until that end has been secured. Unmoved by Criticism. The state department still is un- moved by utterances in congress, re- Iying implicitly and confidently upon the long line of precedents where American miflitary and naval forces have been employed without congres- sional direction In cases where Ameri- can life and property were in jeopardy. The officials declare that is the sole purpose of the landing of the marines and bluejackets in Nicaragua. It has not deen found necessary to send any special instructions to American Min- {ster Weitzel or to Captain Terhune of the Annapolis. The Large Naval Force. ‘When the reinforcements which will be en route to Nicaragua before the end of this week have arrived the navy will have ashore in that coun- try the largest force it has ever land- ed in an American republic in time of peace.

London, Aug, 22.—General Booth's body was removed tonight from the evangelist's late residence at Hadley- wood to Congress hall, Clapton, in the northeast of London, where it will lie in state on Friday and Saturday, The plans for the lying in state are the same as these carried out when the body of his wife, the "army's mother,” lay in state, The coffin rests in the same spot on a eatafalque, over which a huge can- opy hangs, At the side of the ecoffin an oil pertrait of his wife is displayed.

FOR PROTECTION~0F AMERICAN FARMERS Secretary MacVeagh Orders Counter- vailing Duty on Imports from Germany New York, Aug. 22—A countervail- ing duty on importations of wheat and rye flour and split peas from Germany was ordered by Secretary MacVeagh today because the commodities enjoy a bounty from the German govern- ment. This decisive step was neces- sary, officials declare, to protect the German split pea industry, which, it 1s added, is being destroyed by Ger- man competition, grown to formidable proportions by reason of the hounty. While the move is fraught with grave possibilities of retaliation and a consequent ‘tariff war between the Tnited States anq the German empire, officials of the treasury department weré fnclined to hope that Germany would repeal the bounty, as it is said not to be popular in that country.
