ROOSEVELT HOME SCANDAL.
Presidents Friends Fear Exposure of
a Scheme

Sincere friends of President Roosevelt in
New York and elsewhere ARE expressing
pronounced disapproval of methods en-
ployed by q few persons associated with
the Roosevelt Home Club in raising funds
to purchase, memorial, the house at
IS East 2Dth street where the President was
horn. While IL is represented by the chief
solicitors that the President has given his
tacil approval TO all that is being done,
it is known by his intimate friends that
he is ignorant of the inside workings of the
movement, and it is expected that his Wig
orous Reputation will follow speedily upon
the heels of an investigation which some OF
his real friends are preparing to bring
about. There are few public officials or
wealthy persons known or supposed to
be admirers of Mr.. Roosevelt who have not
been requested by personal solicitation or
letter to contribute to the fund. Canvass
ers have been employed on large commits
sions, letters by the thousand have been
sent into all parts OF the country. represen-
tations have been made that the birthplace
of the President was to be converted Into
an emergency hospital, and the names OF
prominent persons have been used without
their knowledge or consent
While this diversified work of solicitation
has been going on for months, certain
members of the club who have withdrawn
from the organization are adding embar-
rassment to the situation by ASSERTING that
they have been unable to find out how
much money has been received or what
disposition has been made of all of It, On
the other hand promoters of the enterprise
declare that the undertaking has been
failure and that they are out or poc'et
many thousands of dollars.
Most of the criticism and inquiry at pres
ent clusters about the public funds COM
rnittee and a so-called secret contract
which four members of the committee have
with the club for financing the memorial
enterprise Outside of Roderick Begg, pres
ideut of the club. who drew the contract,
end a few other officers, no member OF
the club has been allowed to see the doc
ument or know its terms.
1t is the question as to the real terms
of the contract and particularly as 10 the
natter of compensation that has occa-
stoned much of the trouble In the. CLUB.
Members of the committee declare they are
doing the work and paying all expenses
through patriotism and with no other mo-
tive. Others insist that the compensation
is very large COMMISSIONS "a isi IN
fact that to make 1t known would create
a public scandal

candidates in the field got together in
determination to stampede, and on the
fourth ballot. after Jacobson had held

had decided to withdraw from the fight.
