Justice Collins put Schwartz through & merciless examination as to this Aiscrepancy In time, Schwartz could not explain how he could have been told the result of the race before it had been run, ustice Forker, too, took up the questioning, telling Schwartz ho was a “rickety witness, who wasn't Positive of anything,” ‘Then, with all the justices conourr- ing, tho charges axainst the three prisoners were discharged.

Justice Forker questioned him “You are building up your care on an unknown witness,” he said, “Who and where Is he?" Schwarts said he did not know, “Well, you cannot hope to convict these men on this kind of testimony, en you admit you did not see them ow bet."

Tha double- deck car is the most formidable enemy the anti-noise societies have ever had to combat.

President Ghonts declared an order probably would be placed with the G. Brill Company of Philadelphia for least a hundred of the double-deck cas within a few weeks.

Harriman's $240,000 contribution of 1904 #0 differeht from that told to the com- mittee by George R. Sheldon that mem- bers of the committee asked Mr. Odell how he accounted for the Variances, The former Governor remarked that Cornelius N. Bliss, Treasurer of the Re- Prbiiean National Committee in 194, might have “told some white lies” to Mr. Sheldon about it. Sheldon was as- sociated with Bliss unofMfcally in 194 and was Treasurer in 1906, The substance of Mr. Odell's testi- mony was that President Roosevelt aaked Mr. Harriman, in 1904, to come to the White House to talk about campaign funds, Following that talk, sald Mr. Odell, Mr. Harriman raised $240,000 for the campaign and turned it over to the Republican National Committee. Mr. Odell said he received $200,000 of that contribution for the New York State campaign and the balance remained in the hands of the National Committee. TELLS OF ROOSEVELT DEAL TO NAME DI Ww. Mr. Odell testified that Mr. Horriman had told him Col. Roosevelt had agreed that, if necessary, he would help out !n the New York campaign Senatorial uation by appointing Senator Chauncey M. Depew Ambassador vo France, thus leaving the Senatorial contest clear for Frank §, Black, former Governor of New York, Mr. Sheldon had testified that the contribution had been arranged between . Bliss and Mr. Harriman, and that Col, Roosevelt “never knew anything about it until a jong time after elec. tion.” He denied that it had been a subject of correspondence between the former President and Mr. Harriman. ‘B2-Prosident ie om record as denying that he ever talked of cam- paign funds to Mr. Merriman (uring Mr. Sheldon had further testified that Mr, Odell had come to Mr, Biles to see about raising money for the State cam- paigm and that later Mr. Harriman and Mr. Bliss had got together “about $250,000, which was handed over to the | State Committee and never went to the | National Committee.” Chairman Clapp introduced the eub- Ject .of the Harriman contribution by asking the former Governor what knew of $+. Harriman having stated in & letter to Sidney Webster that Mr. | Roosevelt asked Harriman to come to Washington during 1904, TALKED WITH HARRIMAN BE- FORE WASHINGTON VISIT. “In October of 1904," began Mr. Odell, “I was requested by Mr, Harriman to lunch with him, I went to his office and during lunch he showed me a lette from President Roosevelt asking to come to Washington. I was Chair- man of the State Committee that yei Mr, Harriman asked me what I eup- | posed the President wanted. “I told him my opinion was that he wanted to consult with him as to New York and the financial condition of the National Committee, Mr. Harriman sald he did not want to go, hut after talking it over he told me he would. I requested Mr. Harriman to bring the President's attention to the Senatorial situation tn Wew York and tell him that the organi- gation was In favor of Gov, Black for Senator, but yet had a kindly feeling toward Senator Depew and would like to have him taken care of; that if Mr. Roosevelt could do #0, {t would be a happy solution for him to appoint Sen- ator Depew Ambassador to France." “Mr, Harriman came to Washington and a few rward I again lunched_ with continued Mr, Odell.

Later that day Mr, Harriman telephoned me that he had made arrangements for the raising of money and had raised $2404%0, which he had turned over to Mr. Bilss, ‘That same day Mr. Bliss came over and gave me the National .Committee's check, signed by himself as ‘Treasurer, for $200, 000.’ ) RINGWORM ON CHEEK AND BEHIND EAR — Into Scalp.
