CORPORATION CONTRIBUTIONS.
Eleven Companies Assessed to Aid
Roosevelt's Election.

Charles E. Hughes, counsel TO the legis-
lative con.R.ittee Investigating the insur-
ance scandal at New York, has received an
inside tip from reliable financial source
from which a reporter for the New York
World obtained the following informa ton:
That during the months Of September and
October, 1904, eleven corporations doing
business In that state subscribed to fund
aggregating $225, 900.
That Of this amount the Equitable Life
Assurance Society contributed $4,000.
That the arrangements for number of
subscriptions including the $4,000 donated
by the Equitable, Were made by George B.
Cortelyou, then chairman of the republican
national committee.
That all of the contributions were made
upon the representations of various per-
sons, including Mr.. Cortelyou, Cornelius N.
Bliss, ex-Gov. Odell, Senator Platt and Sem
ator Depew. that additional money was
needed to insure the election of Theodore
Roosevelt as President
That the money was subscribed solely
upon the representation that the republican
national ticket was in danger of defeat.
That of the amount collected less than 5
per cent or, to be exact, $40. 800 found its
way into the state campaign TO help the
candidacy of Frank w. Higgins, republican
candidate for governor.
This information has been brought out by
friends of Senators Platt and Depew and
ex-Gov. OdeIl, who believe that the full
truth about the political contributions
should be made known by Mr.. Hughes and
the Armstrong committee.

Manufacturing Statistics.

A summary of the manufacturing statis-
tics of Providence, r. l., for the year end
ing December 81, 1904, was issued by the
census bureau Saturday, and shows an ag-
gregate production of 904, as COM
pared with production In 1900 of 81 657. 1O3
While the production has increased. the
number of establishments has diminished
from 500 to 1888, accounted for by the merg-
ing of smaller plants with the larger ones,
and to the omission of a number of small
establishments In the last statistics which
were included in those of 1900.
According to the summary there are six
principle Industries: Foundry and ma
chine shop products, gold and silver re-
ducing and refining, not from ore: jewelry,
siIversmithIng and silverware, wooden goods
and worsted goods.

OREGON LAND FRAUDS.
Eastern Investors Mulcted by Western
observation-disclosures Charges.

Far more serious than any previous ae-
velopment of the many land FRAUDS perpe-
trated in Oregon are charges made IN a
letter TO Gov. George E. Chamberlain Sat
urday from Salem. Ore. by State Lana
Agent Oswald West, who asserts that py
means of forged certificates of sale OF school
lands eastern bankers have been swinoieo
out of large sums Of money.
Not content, the land agent asserts, Win
having defrauded Oregon OF 100000 acres
Of school land, nearly all the state possess
ed bv means of dummy entrymen. land
operators prepared printed certificates of
sale and assignments and inserted in them
descriptions of school lands, for which GER
tifcates had previously been issued, and
by forgeries of signatures and the great
seal of the state of Oregon sold the lands
time and again to innocent persons IN the
east.
Mr.. West adds:
Il have discovered large number 81
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-12-04

these forged certificates in tie hands OF
eastern bankers, and the magnitude OF the
frauds will not be known until the subject
is given publicity and the eastern holders
have sent in their certificates for examina-
ton. 1t is possible that for every genuine
certificate outstanding there may be from
two to a dozen fraudulent ones"
Mr. West concluded by saying that The
forged certificates are well executed that
It is difficult TO distinguish them from the
originals.
Gov. Chamberlain said yesterday that
there was no limit to the number of forged
certificates which could have been made.
Few of the persons who possess forged
certiica ties are known SO far, but from the
fact that persons In New York, New Jer-
sey, Ohio and Florida are In possession of
them, officers fear that when the whole
number develops II will include people in
every state east of the Mississippi river
Gov. Chamberlain said that at the present
time he was unable to say who the fraudu-
lent operators are,
