INFLUENCE OF TOLSTOI
Former President SCOTS at
Statements of Philanthropist

NEW YORK. May 13.-Former Presi-

of The Outlook combats the statement
credited to Count Leo Tolstoi that
Bryan represented the party after
peace in the last presidential cam
paign.
: On this point Roosevelt says:
Now there was but one point in
the platform of either political party
in 1908 which contained an element
of menace TO the peace of the world
This was the plank in the Bryanite
platform which demanded the immedi-

Coupled with this was the utterly

Cooper said:

Alleged Methods Used

THE specific transactions on which
the complaints against Cornell were
based We're with the firm of NJ Miller
e. Co. OF Sacramento. In those in
stances Cornell charged Miller & Co. on
the books with $40 and $I275O. less
than the full amounts of their bills for
January and February of this year. He
rendered bills to them, however. for the
full amounts, and when they forwarded
checks to settle evidently put the diff
ference between the amount on the
books and the amount OF the checks
into his own pocket. We traced the
accounts through the deposit slips at
the banks and secured the receipts from
Miller & Co, which are In Cornelrs own
handwriting and are for the full
amounts of their accounts. He has not
offered any explanation of why the full
amount was not credited on the books.
According to the method employed
by Cornell the books of the Pioneer
automobile company are apparently all
right on their face, but when they are
checked against the firms stock OF
goods vast discrepancy is apparent.
Up to the present time we have discoy-
cred discrepancies aggregating more
than $4,000 and extending over the
period between January 1, 1905. and the
day on which we took charge of the
books"

terms. He was member of the ordel
