Nebraska Committee Chair
man Says There Is
Nothing in Story

New York, May According to a
report printed here today, Thomas f.
Ryan contributed $4,000 to fund to
support the campaign in Nebraska in
the fall Of 1904, having for it sprinci-
pal object the election to the United
States senate of William J. Bryan. It
was stated in this report that Mr..
Ryan gave his check to William F.
Sheehan and that Mr. Sheehan gave
other checks for that amount to T. S.
Allen, who was then chairman of the
Democratic state central committee of
Nebraska, who is said to have been in
New York at that time. It is assert
ed that the donors of this fund expect
ed that Mr.. Ryan would, after this
contribution, give unqualified support
to the candidacy Of Alton B. Parker,
the Democratic candidate for presi-
dent, and that Mr. Bryan had let up
in his attacks on fnanciers who were
backing the campaign.
Chairman Says Story Is Untrue.
Lincoln, Neb., May BOT. B. Allen,
chairman of the Democratic state cen
trail committee, today denied the re-
port that $4,000 had been contributed
to Mr.. Bryan's campaign fund. He
declared the statements that any
money was paid to him by either Ryan
or Sheehan to secure Mr.. Bryan's sup
port of Judge Parker as false. Mr..
Allen said:
Every one knows that Mr.. Bryan
announced his support of Mr.. Parker
immed iately after the st. Louis con-
vention. As to the statement that
money was used in an effort to elect
Mr.. Bryan to the senate, reference to
the record will show that the Demo-
cratic state convention made no NOM
! ination that year for senator, and the
vote of the Democrats of the legis-
lature was not cast for Mr.. Bryan.
have never met nor do I know Mr..
sheehan or Mr.. Ryan, referred to in
the report"
Mr.. Allen added that during the
campaign of 1904 the national COM
mittee gave some assistance to the
campaign in Nebraska, but said the
amount named is exaggerated. Mr..
Allen said: THE money was sent to
| me. but as it came from the national
committee, | Immediately turned it
over to Mr.. Dahlman, national com
| mitteeman from this state.'

1000 of them turned out to take

at which Secretary of War Taft de-
livered the principal address. 1t was
raining hard when the time for the
opening Of the exercises arrived, and
for a time it seemed that the event
would have to be at least Temporarily
postponed. It was decided finally,
however, to carry out the program
inside the commodious tomb and
there the secretary delivered his adj

gathering which could find protec-
ton from the rain.

COLIN
keene'S Famous Colt Cleans
Up $4,000 Stake in
Binding Rain
Track at Belmont Was il
Such Condition That No
Time Was Taken
10000 People Go Mad Over
Victory Of the Popular
Animal

New York, N. Y, May 3d.
Greeted by the enthusiastic cheers of
tens of thousands of racegoers whose
ideal he is, Colin, the great son of
Commander, won the valuable Bel
mont Park purse today. Not in many
years, If ever, has there been such
demonstration of enthusiastic affec-
ton for thoroughbred as that ac-
corded Colin as he passed the finish
line. He was pulled up apparently
strong and sound and as he came
back to the judges stand the crowd
of more than 10000 persons rose to
their feet and cheered wildly while
the band played "Hail to the Chief"
The race was worth $20,765 to the
winner and brings the horses re-
turns to his owner, Jas. r. Keene,
up to more than 100000.
The coming back of Colin today
was almost as unexpected and SEN
sational as the announcement of last
Thursday that he possibly would
never race again. Today Jas. R..
Keene, his owner, went to Belmont
track and held consultation with
his trainer, James Rowe, as to the
advisability of sending the horse to
the post for the Belmont stakes. 1t
was raining in torrents and the track
was muddy and sloppy, conditions in
which Mr.. Keene usually withdraws
his best stake horses. Up to the time
that the first race was started no
| decision had been announced. Just
at the last minute word came that
Colin would be an added starter.
The rain was so thick that it was
impossible to see the start of the
race, and it was not until the mud
splasher racers had swung into the
home stretch that the crowd was able
| to pick out the Keene colors in front.
From that point to the finish there
was a scene of wild enthusiasm that
! was hushed just for a moment when
Fair Play came with rush and
challenged the winner. The weather
conditions were so bad that no time
/ could be taken.
BY today's race Colin showed that
he is peerless even under unfayorable
conditions. He trotted out to the
paddock after the race without a
lame step.

diately followed final action on the
Aldrich- Vreeland compromise curren-
acy measure in the senate today, and
disposed of most of the remaining i'm

The deficiency bill carries appropria-
lions aggregating $3O,71S,S4S, of which
$12.466, $50 is for beginning work au.
thorized by the public building bill.
The president shortly before 10
o'clock signed the compromise cur
rency bill and presented the pen he
used in afaxing his signature to Rep
resentative Wilson of Chicago.
Previous to his signature of the cur
rency bill the president handed 1t to
Secretary Cortelyou, who carefully
read its provisions. Two other mem
bers of the cabinet were present
Secretaries Root and aGrfield. The
president, in conversing with several
members, told them he was very well
satisfied with the omplishments Of
the congressional session.
An hour after his arrival at the
capitol the president had signed all
the bills placed before him. including
the public buildings, general defcien-
cy and government employees liability
bills. II
The president applied pocket
veto to the bill to compensate invent
ors for inventions used by the govern
ment. Refusal to sign it killed the
measure upon the adjournment Of

Among the results of this kind of voting at the late

court, running independent candidate. The work
of Judge Lindsey for the boys of Denver is widely
known. But he had attacked the corporation alliances

Game

Under date of November 10 letter addressed to
Bishop Luther B. Wilson Of Chattanooga Tenn Presi-
dent of the Anti-Saoon League of America, by one
Charles R. Mabee copy of this letter probably sent
to every newspaper and preacher in the United States
The question naturally arises, Who is Charles R.
Mabee? The is that nobody in particular seems
to know 1t has been reported that he is ex-empoye
of the AntSaoon League Of America the national
ganizaton of the antsaloon forces This is true
he never at any time connected with the national
League In recent interview DR. Baker, Superintend-
ent Of the national League, said that Mr. Mabee first
appeared the at the National Convention of the
League at Norfolk in September 1907 where he made
proposition to work for the League Dr. Baker said he
had talked with him but short time when he made up
his mind that he emissary of the brewery interests
and he thenceforth paid little attention to him.

Mabee seems to have then gone directly to the Ohio
League and, by misrepresenting what Dr. Baker had
said to him, induced Superintendent Wheeler of Ohio
to try to get him employment there Failing he went
Michigan where it is reported, he worked awhile for
Superintendent Morrow. When Morrow and Baker met,
Baker told Morrow he believed Mabee to be crooked
and working in the interest of the enemy Mabee then
left Michigan and this is about the extent of his history
far able to find out with the exception that
at the present time he has large Offices in Detroit and
great corps of stenographers and clerks evidently
backed with unlimited money, sending out his fumna
tions against the League.
The question is, Where does his support come from?
He demands the privilege of going through the books of
the Anti-Saloon League His declared reason for this
desire is to reveal to the world the awful depths of
nquity graft crookedness, etc. etc. If he honest
he would probably confess that his real object is get
the of the contributors to the AntSaoon League
and then turn them to the brewery and distery
interests in order that they may bring all the pressure
of their boycotting system to bear upon them.
The AntiSaloon League has nothing whatever to fear
from investigation by the proper authorities neither
has there been any complaint in regard to its conduct Of
