Washington, Aug. 23.—It is believed here tonight that Colonel Roosevell will take the stand within a few days before the senate sub-committee in- vestigating campaign expenditures answer the charges made today by John D. Archbold that Mr. Roosevelt had knowledge of the use of Standard O1l money in his campaign of 1904, The Committee Divided. The committee was divided tonight over its future course of action. Upon the arrival tomorrow of Senator Luke | Lea, one of the absent democratic members of the committee, a meeting will be held to determine whom to call and where the next meeting is to be held. Several members of the sub- committee favor transferring the hearing at once to New York, where Colonel Roosevelt, George W. Perkins, George B. Cortelyou and members of the Standard Oil company’s board of directors might testify. Archbold’s Testimony. The statement made today by John D. Archbold, financial head of the Standard Oil company, cut issue between him and Roosevelt, according to members the sub-committee, Mr. Archbold t tified that his understanding that Col- onel Roosevelt knew about and en- dorsed the Standard Oil contributions came through former Treasurer Cor- neliug N. Bliss of the republican na- tional committee, who is dead. Cortelyou May Be Recalled. Although Colonel Roosevelt publicly stated that it was absurd for him to appear before the senate committee, it is understood that he consented to take the stand, if desired, in view of the direct charges made today by Mr. Archbold. JIf Mr. Cortelyou is re- called it will be to explain the state- ments, made by Mr. Archbold, that Mr. Cortelyou as chairman of the na- tional committee knew of and sanc- tioned the Standard Oil contributions. Will Continue After Congress Ad- journs. Senator Pomerene of Ohio, who sat with the sub-committee today to rep- resent the absent democratic members, probably will be made a permanent member of the committee in place of Senator Paynter of Kentucky. The sub-committee will then consist of Senator Clapp, chairman, Senators Jones, Oliver, Lea and Pomerene. The committee is authorized to continue its sessions after the adjournment of con- gress and the conclusion of the ses- slon tomorrow will not interfere with made a cleas Colonel of the immediate summoning of other ‘witnesses. Bliss Said Money Would Be Accept- able. Archbold told the committee that the Standard Oil company’s $126,009 contribution to the republican war chest of 1904 was made upon assur- ences from Cornelius N. Bliss that “the contribution was acceptable to Colonel Roosevelt, and that further contributions would be acceptable.” “T told Mr. Bliss we did not want to make the contribution unless it was to be gratefully received,” he said. “Mr. Bliss told us of Mr. Roosevelt’s atti- ture toward business and said he be- lieved Mr. Roosevelt would be a fair wnd conservative man when it came to the test Mr. Bliss urged that the licles of the republican party were he saf st for business. We decided that o r Interests as a business or- ganizaon lay on the republican side, &nd we decided to make this contri- bution.” Directors Refused to Contribute More Mr. Archbold explained that $100,000 weat to the republican national com- ittes and that $26,000 was given to enator Penrose for the republican te committee. “The $25,000 given Mr. Penrose,” he said, “was a polit- 1 contribution, and not a payment lor services in public or private life.” Later, when the late Mr. Bliss came and asked the Standard O] company for more money—about $150,000—Mr. Archbold said the board of directors refused to contribute farther. He quoted Mr. Bliss as saving: “T speak to oyu personaily. I think you had better make this contribution. If you don’t, somebody else wAll.” Refusal Followed by Attacks. Later, Mr. Archbold sald, when the bureau of corporations began making mdverse reports on the Standard 0il company, Mr. Bliss admitted that the government's attacks were unjust, but #aid he had no influence with Presi- dent Ra;udnveln lent Roosevelt unfailingly ap- proved these attacks,” decl&r:dy M[r. oM, “without investigation of the test knowledge of the facts. The fPeports of Garfield and Smith were the work of mere puppets who jumped when Roosevelt pulled the strings. When the Standard Ofl magnate was asked if he thought the company’s re- fusal to contribute further was the cause of the “unjust” government at.- tacks, he bit his lip and gafd: “Well, 1 don’t know.” ? Why Paid in Currency. Benator Pomerene wanted to know why the contribution had been made in_currency. The Standard Ofl man smiled ana replied: “T don't suppose there was any de- wire on the part of efther of us for pubHeity.” Senator Pomerene then took up th visit of Mr. Bliss, when furtherpl\—mf tributions,” according to Mr. Archbold, were asked from Standard Oil. Bliss Comes for More Money. “At a later time Mr. Bliss came (o my office,” said Mr. Archbold. Jie maid: ‘I have to come to you again on the money question’ He pointed out the situation in the campaign and the need for further funds. “I sald 1 thought pretty liberally. Flnally T told him that I could not decide the matter, but T would lay it before my bnard.” “Was there anything in that con- versation to Indicate that Colonel Roosevelt knew of your contribution?” arked Senator Pomerena. Money Acceptable to Rossevelt, “Yes, he gave me tn understand that aur contrfoution had heen ac- we had done tions would be acceptable to Colonel Roosevelt.” Mr. Archbold said that on the latter occasion Mr. Bliss mentioned $150,000 |as a further amount. Mr. Archbold | upon Mr. Bliss the desire of the Stan- rd Oil officials that the contribu- (tlfiu' should not be received unless | they w acceptable to Colonel Roos | velt. The board decided to upen what they had done” and make no further contributions. His Belief in Bliss. “Did vou regard Mr. Bliss as a man of veracity and integrity, and when he said he had told Colonel Roosevelt of this matter had you any reason to doubt him?’ asked Senator Pomerene. “None in the world” answered Mr. Archbold. “When you told Bl that the board would do no more, what did he say?” Warned of Mistake. “Be said that it was a mistake. He said: ‘I speak to you personally. T think vou had better make this con- tribution. If you don’t, somebody else will, and I think vou will be making a mistake’ He put it on personal for me toward the end.” “Did Mr. Bliss ever tell you that Mr. Roosevelt was grateful for not making this further contribution? ed Senator Pomerene. No,” replied Mr. Archbold. Senator Perrose Testifies. Senator Penrose was a witness this afternoon. He introduced into the rec ord the statement regarding the $2 000 contribution to the Pennsylvania | campaign fund of 1904 by John D. Archbold, and the contribution of $100,000 to the national campaign fund, which he made Wednesday in the sen- ate. He said he had practically noth- ing to add to that, but would answer any questions. Senator Penrose been given to understand a that Colonel Roosevelt knew contribution of $100,000 to the ral campaign fund by the Standard Oil company..and.of. the demand for fur- ther contributions. “T also knew of the urgency of the request of Mr. Bliss to Mr. Archbold for the additional $150,000.” said Pen- rose, “and his sayinz that the refusal to give it wonld probably result in re- tallatory measures, the theory being that it threw the powers that be. as Mr. Archbold calls them. into other financial hands, and that the Standard Ofl company would be the ‘goat’ as the popular saving is.” Wanted Roosevelt to Know. Senator Pomerene took up the ex- amination of Senator Penrose and in- ouired as to various interviews with Archbold and other men connected with the Standard Oil company. “Mr. Archbold told me.” saild Sena- tor Penrose, “that his board of direc- tors would decline to aid in the na- tional campaign if there was any se- crecy about the matter—if their tivity was not known to Pre Roosevelt and Mr. Cortelyou.” “At these interviews was anvthing said abont Mr. Roosevelt’s views on the tariff?” “It was generally nnderstoad that he stood for a ovrotective tariff as out- lined in the renublican platforms since 1896.” answered Penrose. Roosevelt Told of Contribution. “Was hing said about his tude to so-called ‘big’ bus asked Pomerene. “There was a reneral assurance on the part of Mr. Bliss that the powers of the presidential office wonld not be used in a harsh way from demagogic he had that time of safd that the ent an nes: effort.” Senator Penrose said that in an in- terview following the fir: Standard Oil contribution. at which he was present. Mr. Rliss told the Standard Oil officials that Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Cortelyou “had been advised of the first contribution and were ex- tremely solicitous about their comply- ineg with his request for a second con- tribution.” Never Suagested Return of Money. Senator Penrose said he never had discussed Standard OIl contributions with Mr. Cortelyou, but he believed the subject of contributions had come up casually in conversation he had had with President Roosevelt hoth before and after the election of 1904. “While no direct reference was made to the contributions in 1904, I believed that the president was cognizant of the habit of Standard Oil to contribute to every campaign since 1896,” said Penrose. He was positive that Mr. Roosevelt never had suggested to him that the Standard Oil money be returned. Was an Original Roosevelt Supporter. Senf#tor Penrose maid he had been one of the original Roosevelt support ers and had called the state conven- tion in Pennsylyania in 1904 which was the first state convention to de- clare for President Roosevelt's re- nomination. “We endorsed Roosevelt,” said Pen- rose, “and forced Senator Hanna in Ohio, who was opposed to Roosevelt, to surrender to Senator Foraker and allow the Ohio convention to endorse Roosevelt. I may say that I was probably as earnest a supporter of Roosevelt all through his administra- tlon as any except perhaps Senators Platt, Quay and Foraker.” ROOSEVELT'S REJOINDER.

BAG LABELED *“$2,000,000” FOR GOVERNOR WILSON It Contained Sand, However, Instead of National Currency. Sea Girt, N. J,, Aug. 23.—Gov. Wood- row Wilson saw before him at dinner tonight’ a heavy bag, labeled “Two- million-dollar contribution from the Standard Oil company.” Instead of money, however, the bag contained sand. The occasion was a dinner by the newspaper correspondents to the gov- ernor's cousin, James Woodrow, who has been one of the secretaries here, but who will leave tomorrow for the University of South Carolina to be- come an instructor in mathematics. The dinner was after the manner of Gridiron club dinner in Washington, a programme of stunts being carried out, some of which were directed at the candidate. On the table in front of the governor was a bull moose. A toy battleship represented the do- nation of the democratic congress to the navy. It was labeled, however, “Made in Germany,” which label, the governor in a recent speech declared, was to be found on too many articles bought in this country. A tiny sailboat, flying the American flag, was intended to sho’ he restora- tion of the merchant marine, the sub- ject of many of the governor's cam- paign speeches, During the day the governor saw few callers. Congressman Joseph E. Ransdell, president of the National Rivers ang Harbors congress, brought a delegation to urge the governor to attend the convention of that organ- ization, which is to be held on Sep- tember 24, 25 and 26 at Memphis. The governor said he would go it he could possibly arrange it. FORTY BANDS AT THE FUNERAL OF GEN. BOOTH. German Emperor Sends Wreath of White Lilies as Tribute.

Archbold and | Penrose for “making it clear beyond | possibility of doubt that T am the | man | the Penroses and Archbolds of the country most dread in public life,” ROOSEVELT EXPOSED. Penrose Says Peoole Won't Be Satis- fied with Cry of “Liar.” Washington, Aug. 23.—In reply to the statement of Colonel Roosevelt in New York today, Senator Penrose said tonight: “Colonel Roosevelt’s relations with the Standard Oil company clearly have been established. The Standard Oil company, through John D. Arch- bold, contributeq $125,000 in the re- publican campaign of 1904. Colonel Roosevelt did not consider that amount sufficient and demanded an additional contribution of $150,000. In Teply to the disclosure of these facts Colonel Roosevelt submits a letter, which, in police circles, would be known as a ‘frameup,’ and an attack upon me personally. The exposure of Colonel Roosevelt's negotiations with the Standard Oil company are such that the frenzied ery of ‘Liar!' will not satisfy the people. John D. Arch- bold’s statement before the senate in- Vestigating committee substantiated every assertion I made on the floor of the senate on Wednesday relating to the Standard Oll company’s contri- bution In the campaign of 1904, Mr, Archbold appeared before the oommit. tee at his own request.
