Mr. Archbold went so far as to say that his end of the legal bat- tle will be handled by M. F. Elliott, leader of counsel for the Standard Oil. When-an Evening World reporter reached Mr. Archbold he had writ- ten out, personally, a short statement on a little piece of paper. It read: Iam not a lar. Zam not socustomed to being so accused, and shall not endure it lightly. “Does that mean that you intend to bring a libel action against Col, Roosevelt?” asked the reporter, “It means something to that effect,” replied Mr. Archbold, grimly, “Who is to handle the case for you?” Mr. Archbold was asked. “Nothing will be done until I return from Europe,” he answored. “Then the matter will be in the hands of Mr. Elliott.” Mr. Archbold would not even intimate whether the proposed libel action ‘er would be a civil suit for damages or a criminal proceeding having for its purpose the punishment of Col. Roosevelt, “Ip it true that a number of heads of Standard O!1 were worried to qgatn?” was asked of Mr. Archbold, »* “1 pelieve I 6o stated when I was testifying in Washington,” replied Mr, Archbold, “but you may be sure that I am going to take good care of my own health. I expect to spend the next three weeks with Mrs. Archbold on the ocean and with our daughter in England.” The three men the present head of Standard O11 referred to as having been “worried.” into their graves, Mr. Archbold said, were Messrs, Tilford, ‘Rodgers and Barstow. A representative of a newspaper friendly to Col. Roosevelt later tried to get Mr. Archbold to say that he was not going to take any action against Col, Roosevelt, but the Standard Ol] head refused to further outline his plans. nee ee COMMITTEE | TE !

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—Just when the Senate was about to agree on a resolution of investigation which would open up whatever Standard Oil taint there might be in campaign contribu- tions since 190 and throw light on the charges that certain legislators had received large money gifts from the Ofl Trust, Senator Heyburn of Idaho intervened in a one man flibus- ter.

Senator Poindexter had proposed ¢ the subjects to be Investigated be ex-| tended to include “all correspondence between John D, Archbold and mem- bers of the Senate and of the House of Representatives since 190," This amend- ment was adopted. Senator Penrose proposed that the name of George W. Perkins be included with that of Archbold and that the term of “ex-Presidents of the United States" be included with the members of Con- gresi “It is suggested, however," he re- marked, “that there is only one living ex-President and as we are not inter- ested in dead ex-Presidents, I wish to substitute ‘Mr. Theodore Roosevelt—or Colonel, I believe his title fa'.’* ‘This amendment was incorporated. partment I guess I might as weil give an interview, he declared. “Briefly, 1 took offce as Second Deputy Commis- sioner in October, 1910, and resigned May 1, 1911.

TELLS OF GAMBLING RAIDS. “Bary in January, 1911, all complaints regarding gambling were turned over to me for investigation and action. Both | this work and complaints regarding dis- orderly houses had formerly handled by Fourth Deputy sloner Driscoll. He was relieved of the gamb) , but was continued in charge of the disorderly house raids up to the time I left the department. The order giving the gambling situation to me was fayued by Police Commissioner Cropsey, and whether he acted upon his own in- {tative or by order of the Mayor I do got know, “I immediately began to raid gambling Places all over the city, including Brook- lyn. I used both clvilians and young Po icemen in getting evidence. Between ffty-fAve and sixty gambling resorts Were raided and none of tiem reopened while [ was in the departinent. Police men were put in every one of these Places after the raid, and they remained there until such time as Commissioner Cropsey saw fit to take them erally when the lease was cay the Commissioner had communicated with the owner of the premises, I had nothing to do with the taking out of the policemen. “While I was in the department, so far as I know, there was but a single implement of gambling, rou. lette wheel, returned to its owner up- on a writ of replevin, and I personally fought the order being issued. “Phe chief benefit to the whole com- munity from the wholesale raids conducted—we swooped down upon a place every other day and none of my raids were ever tipped off, the players all being there when we broke in—was that the play all over city was killed, been Commts- MANY HOUSES CLOSED V@LuUN.

Had not Coroner's Physician Schultz disclosed that Miss Curran had been killed after a tierce struggle, which ordinarily should have been heard throughout the hotel, and had he not issued a statement attacking the way the police were handling the case, the death of the woman might have passed as due to an attack of epilepsy.
