——— ' t J.P. MORGAN AND |George W. Pe OTHERS MADE TO LOK LKEPKER T. F. Ryan Gave $450,000 to 1904 Campaign Fund, He Tells Committee. (Continued from First Page) John H. Nugent of Philadelphia testi- that on Jan. £2 last he met Col. Roosevelt in New York and discussed to ald Senator Beveridge of Indiana in October, 164. Terking said he also made contribu- tions to the Maryland and West Vir- kinia campaigns in 194. He could not recall the amounts. Another lotter he submitted was to Chairman Hitchcock of the Republican {onal Committee in 1908, suggesting @ campaign coup by | the financing of the Roosevelt cam- paign. Nugent said he never had any doubt that Roosevelt was to run. Later Nugent met William Ward of New York who, he eaid, told him that Senator Pen. ; foes had been given a chance to join the Roosevelt movement, and had de- clined, saying he wan going fo stick to ‘Taft. Nugent declares that Ward told am the Bull Moowers “weer going after Penrose.” The witness added; “And I @uess the world knows they did," BRYAN THE ONLY CLOUD ON HORIZON. In reply to questions concerning the Pre-convention campaign of 1912 Mr. Ryan when called to the stand said that he had contributed between $75,000 AMG 99,00 to Gov. Harmon's campaign and more than $3,000 to Representative Underwood's. ““yhen 1 came back trom Europe in 1911 I made up my mind that the pros- pects of Democratic succoss were very right.” he said. “I thought any Dem- @crat except Mr. Bryan could be elected, and was willing to ald any other man. Me had led the party to defeat three thes, and I regarded him as the only @ioud on the horizon, “I had no epecial interest in any ome, but I had known Gov. Harmon ef Ohio for twenty-five years and be- Meved he would make a good President. I gave his managers somewhere be- 000 and $80,000, Later on my friend Senator Bankhead, manager for Mr. Underwood, came to me with An argument in favor of a Southern ‘men for President. That appealed to me and I gavo him thirty odd thou- gand dollars, I was not asked to aid ‘Me. Clark or Mr, Wilson, but would have given them assistance if it had been requeste PEAKING SAVE HE 16 A RETIRED WORKINGMAN. Mr, Ryan said that before Mr. Park- @’s nomination he was convinced he publishing accounts of contributions and expenditures before Election Day. “Thin committee haa veon sectured and we're tired of it," Senator Oliver broke in when Perkins demanded to know if the committee was going to bring Senator Penrone before it. “We will call what witnesses we desire} without your isgestion, I'm tired of being lectured. Porkins offered an apology if he had tranagressed @nd the equabble was e THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, O0OTO re Soars 5 a 2h SRR oo TMNT ARN 8 oF right, Just as well as I know what I'm hore for.” The Senator and Mr. Perkins en- gaged in a heated exchange while Pom- erene endeavored to find out just how much Mr. Perkins gave to or collected for the 1904 fund. Mr. Perkins sald that the several items in the 1994 list put in by Elmer FB, Dover crediting "G. W. 1." with contributions probably were contribu- tions obtained by Mr. Bliss from men ted by Mr. Perkins. Ho could nothing about contributions to ous States in 1904 except in the e of the $10,000 sent to Senator Letters relating to a contribution of $10,000, which Mr. Bliss asked Mr. Per- kiun to send Senator Beveridge for use in tho Indiana campaign were read. “Senator Beveridge returned the money,” said Mr. Perkin: ‘waying that had been sble to finance his cam- paign himpeif.” BLIGS THANKED HIM FOR VAL-) x I remember that,” sald the witness, “because he sent the money back. IT nearly fell dead when I got the check. Tt was the frat time on record that I ever knew of any public man running for office who returned a dollat.” A detailed crot amination failed to make Mr. Perkins remember that UABLE AID. When the money was returned to the National Committee, Mr. Biles wrote: “You know, Mr, Perkins, how T appre- clate the grem assistance you have been to my department of the commit- tee work during the recent campaign. 1 cannot add very much to what I have personally #aid to you on several ocoa~ sions in that ne, but I wish to record in writing how greatly I appreciate the} valuable ald you have given to the oof. mittee through me.” When the 1908 campaign was reached in the examination of Mr. Perkins the Ject of publicity of campaten co tiona, anserting that he had been work- ing to that end for years. “Ia the Hanna campaigns and the wald, 1908 wi it without much result. When ime along I thought the time ripe for publicity. I kept after Hitchcock, the National Committees Chairman, all ¢ jummer before the election, urging plans for publicity.” More the financier produced ty; written pages of “memoranda” which he aaid he had submitted to the Repub: | lican National Committee. One memo- randum outlined a plan for collecting contributiona from men of all ane all over the country. In it Mr. Pere Kina sala that “outside of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston the cities of the country have ly Gould not be elected. George W. Porsins was the next wit- mess.

HARVESTER COMPANY'S BOOKS WILL SHOW, HE SAYS. At this point Mr. Perkins made his denial of giving $3,000,000 to Col, Roose- velt's campaign fund this year and also his demand that Penrose and Hilles be called to the stand. Mr. Perkins contended that ft would be easy to prove what had been con- tributed to the campaign fund from the treasury of the Harvester Company. He said that he was a member of the board of directors of that company and; chairman of the finance committee and knew thee not a cent of the company been given to aid Col “Did you ever enter into any are rangement to underwrite any portion of Col. Roosevelt's campaign?” he was asked. U “Not one dollar,” said Mr. Perkins, “Do you know of any one else under- taking to do 80% “T do not.” Taking up accusations by Chairman Hilles that the International Harvestor Company had made large contributions to the Roosevelt campaign, Mr, Perkins declared with heat: “This le an absolut out of the whole Milles ha falsehood mado cloth, and if Mr, any reason to believe that contributions have been made by the Harvester Company he owes it to me and to others to have the books of} the company audited for the purpose of proving or disproving the Rocusa- tion.” Here Mr. Perkins rose from his seat “vill and protested that he had been ied” as no other man had been, commitee require bh acousets to prove their charges. Senator Clapp replied that the com- mittee had no means of doing that. “If I were President and a suberdl-) nat should make auch @ charge as Mr, Hilles has made, I should make him! prove It or dismias him from office,” re- plied Mr. Perkins, still standing and, sha'ing his hand violently.
