 poses"

Says Remittances of Archbold Were Doubtless for Campaign Contri- butlons--DocSn't Recall
 Letters.

Pittsburg, Oct o5.-Justice John r. Elkin of the Pennsylvania supreme court, whose name was introduced by William R. Hearst in the alleged Standard oil correspondence read by the editor at a meeting in New York last night denied tonight that he had ever received money for improper from John D, Archhold or ever had attempted to influence legis- lation in behalf of the Standard oil company, Justice Elkln came here to- night from his home in Indiana, Pa, to resume his work with the supreme court, which is in session here.
 The letters read by Editor Hearst purporting to be from MT. Archhold refer to two remittances. tn Mir. Elkin, then attorney general of the state, within six weeks, duFing tho early part of 1900, one for s1O,OoO and the other for S5,0OO
 Justice Elkin said that since reading the correspondence he had not an op- portunity of going over his files and other data to determine whether the facts stated in the Archbold core spondence were correct or not
 You may say for me, however" he added, that never received from MT Archbold, directly or indirectly, money for any improper purposes Neither have I ever made any attempt 10 ln- flnence legislation in tho interests oi the Standard oil company
 Former Governor William A. stone whom Hearst charged with being in nuenced by standard oil officials il the appointment of judges, made thi; statement tonight:
 "Mr Hearst seems to think that he cause a lawyer understands the oil ant gas laws of Pennsylvania he is dis qualified to be a judge That rule would make only those eligible wh' did not understand laws relating to oi and gas, and az every lawyer in Penn sylvania in practice does understand the laws relating to oil and gas Hearsts rulc would compel us to g' into some other state for judges
 "The drafts sent to Mir Elkin, i sent to him, were sent while he wa either chairman of the state republi can committee or a member of tn finance committee It was not i'm proper for him to receive contribu tions for campaign expenses.
 The judges of Pennsylvania hay the confidence of the people The have never heen charged with partial ity to the corporations, nor can the be go charged justly

BROWN CONDEMNS A BRYAN POLICY Senior Vice President of New York Central Attacks His Advocacy of Federal
 Ownership.
POCkETB0OK ARGU M EN I
Fare of Govcrment-Owncd Roads Abroad 64 Per cent. Greater and Pay IF Per Cent. Less
 Than in America.

Chicago, oct. Addressing a large meeting of railroad employees today. William C. Brown of New York city, senior ice-president of the New York Central lines, condemned William J. Bryans advocacy of government own ership of railroads.
 1.-TWO years ago, Mir Bryan traveled abroad, and he surely must have learn ed something of the railroads in Eu- rope" said MT Brown He must have learned that while the fare in the United states is ca per cent less, the pay of the American engineer and trainman is IF per cent more than that paid abroad It is strange that Mr Bryan did not find this out and tell us something about it.
 "He could have learned that the en- gineer who pulled the train from Lon don to Liverpool was paid S2, while the man who runs the engine from Boston to Albany, about the same distance, re- ceiyes $7.60 The engineer who runs the train from London to Edinburgh re- ceives s6, while the American engineer IuDlllliS llblii ANtN iVlh " ifhiiblFs eA distance only 40 miles greater, receives sl6.64 The pay of American conduc- tors, firemen and trainmen are propor- tionately higher.
 "If in England they haye not got government ownership Mir Bryan could have learned that the railways of Prus- sla and most of those of the German empire are owned and operated by the state, and the government specifically prohibits employees from organizing to procure better wages or better condl- tions of W rk
 "Mr. Br. an stands for government ownership, with all it's woes for the employe, while MT Taft stands for the continuance of private ownership with wise conservative, but practical and comprehensive regulation.
