contributions in connection with elections
and to provide for the publication of law
full contributions in connection with elec-

The bill Is in the nature of an amend
ment to the law Of January 26, 1907, pro-
hibiting national banks and other cor
porations from making contributions in
connection with elections. and, in addi-
ton to the law as it stands, he proposes
a provision making it the duty of every
chairman, campaign manager or treas
urer of any political committee or other
person who receives contributions in
money or other things of value for or on
behalf of such political committee, or for
or in the interest of any candidate for
a political office for the purpose of aiding
or promoting the election or defeat of can

tiaI electors, to file with the clerk of the
House of Representatives of the United
States statement in writing showing the
amount of money other thing of value
contributed by each person. firm. corpora

prohibited by law, for the purpose afore-
said
Mr.. Culberson stated that the act Of
January 26, 1907. provides that 1t shall
be unlawful to make money contributions
for political campaigns, but he thought
the law should be further and require
specific statements, as otherwise it might

PORT ARTHUR'S FALL
Gen. St0esseI Called to Final
Account for 1t.
RUSSIAN ARMY REGULATION
Penalty of Surrender, Except in
Extremity, Is Death.
SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE GIVEN
Noted Defendant Is Almost a Wreck
as the Result of the Charges.
Protests His Innocence.

ST. PETERSBURG. December 1o.-Be-
fore a brilliant assemblage of his old
comrades in arms, Lieut.. Gen. Stoessel
was this morning placed on trial to an
swer with his life and reputation for the
loss of Port Arthur on the 1st of January.
1905, and in firm tones and with conf
dent manner the general pleaded not
guilty to the charge of needlessly sur.
rendering the fortress and thereby humil-
iating the Russian army.
The trial took place in the auditorium
of the Army and Navy Club. The room
resembled more a social gathering of Of
court-martial. Among the judges, spec
tators and witnesses Nere Gen. Kuro--
patkin, Gen. Linevitch, Gen. Rennen-
kampf, Vice Admiral Wren and scores
of other prominent leaders in the Russo
japanese war. There were also present
200 officers and soldiers who had been at
Port Arthur and who today were clad in
their full-dress uniforms blazing with
stars and decorations.
Wears Cross of Honor.
Gen. Stoessel alone was in civilian at
tire and this made him conspicuous. He
wore proudly around his neck the Gordon
of the military order of st. George. which
was conferred upon him by the emperor
during the siege, and on his breast was
pinned the cross of George III, awarded
the general for conspicuous bravery in
frontier fighting. This same coveted dec
grafton was worn by many of the wit
nesses and spectators. Empty sleeves and
crutches, especially among the men who
had been at Port Arthur. showed that
many of them had seen hard service dur
ing the war.
Gen. Stoessel is accused of having
surrendered the fortress at Port Arthur
before he had exhausted all the resources
of defense. The punishment for this.
under the Russian code. is death. He is
to be tried also on the charge of lacking
the initiative and with having exceeded
his powers. Gen. Fock and Gen. Reiss
are co-defendants with him. The first is
