STATEMENT BY ALTON b. PARKER

Former Candidate Refers to His
Charge About Campaign Funds.
ALBANY, N. Y, April 2-Alton b.
Parker, democratic candidate for the pres
idency in 1904, displayed the keenest in
terest in the letter OF e. H. Hartman,
published today, especially in regard to
its relation to his own charge made in
the 1901 campaign that the great corpora
lions were largely financing the republican
campaign. Tonight he issued the following
statement.
That $4,000 was turned over by the
Equitable, Mutual and New York Life In
sufance companies, to Mr.. Cortelyou's COM
mittee, has never been denied, of course.
1t was testified to under oath before body
who could have summoned Mr.. Bliss and
Mr.. COrtelyou to the witness stand II II
had been denied. 1t is safe to deny Mr..
Harriman's statement because there Is not
a committee before whom Mr.. Bliss, MT.
Cortelyou and others can be summoned and
compelled to testify, Congress has refused
to make an investigation of the corporate
contributions of 1904 or to pass law pro-
hibiting corporate contributions in the flu
ture. The money raised by Mr.. Hartman
and contributed by the life insurance COM
panies aggregating $4,000 was but drop
In the bucket as compared with the total
contributions By railroads and other great
investigation at this time therefore cannot
be overestlmated.
One OF the questions now pressing for
solution is whether federal governmental
control over railroads and other great cor
porations shall be extended further. 1t
will help to solve that problem rightly, to
learn that governmental power In the past
has been used for political purposes-used
to raise money to continue an existing
administration. The proof that II has been
so used will make It perfectly clear to
every mind that IL can be used again.
Possession by the public Of that knowl-
edge and the necessary deductions there
from will inevitably lead TO attempts TO sur
round such power as has been or may be
conferred with the absolutely necessary
Safeguard against abuse OF it, So far, no eff
fort has been made in that direction. 1t
has not been made because the people have
not appreciated the necessity OF II. That
they may do so, an investigation should be
had that will bring out the whole truth
II will help many to see quite clearly what
is now hidden viz: the ultimate purpose
OF those who seek to strip the states OF
power that II may be centered at Wash
ington.

During the enormous development OF the

NOTHING TO COMPLAIN OF
Capt. Daley's Report Touching Charge
Against Roller Skaters.

That summer is on the wane and the roller
skating season is being rapidly ushered
In Is evident from the number of COM
plants that have been filed with the Com
missioners in the past week about noisy
children congregating on the streets and
sidewalks in certain neighoborhoods while
roller skating. One communication re-
ceived by Commissioner West several days
ago stated that considerable disorder Is
caused by yelling children while skating
In the vicinity of 14th and d streets north
east. The writer asked that the police
break up the nuisance.
Commissioner West referred the matter
to Maj. Sylvester. and today Capt Daley
commanding the police precinct in North
east Washington, reported that after in
vestigation he found nothing to complain
of.
THE complaint" he reported, must have
been made by gentleman living at 400 14th
street, who seems to be annoyed If a child
stands the sidewalk in front of his
house for more than a moment How
ever, 1 have directed the police on that
beat to tell the children not to congre-

thousand acres in "Erskine Park" as he
calls It, and more than two hundred acres
in lawn alone. His place is by far the
finest in LenoX as well the most ex-

marble and cross the streams by stone
bridges such as the Romans used to build.
There is artificial lake in the grounds
which furnishes water for innumerable
fountains. His mansion which overiooks

Westinghouse is famous for her hospi-

buildings The estate contains nearly LOCO
acres of land. mostly forest, through which
roads have been made for driving and rid
ing. The house overlooks the picturesque
lake called Stockbridge Bowl. The Stokes
family has not occupied 1t for several
years. According to local gossip, since Mr.
Stokes met with accident on his grounds
he cannot be induced to return. Last year
1t was rented for hotel purposes. and was
called Shaoowbrook Inn But the rooms
are too large to be profitable and the lease
was not renewed Then Mr.. Shotter APP
