SAYS TRUST OFFERED $1,000. 600
New York Paper Mentions Mr.. Bona
parte I'm Campaign Story.

That one of the great trusts of the
country attempted to "dicker" with
the administration Of President
Roosevelt, through Attorney General
Ronaparte, for cessation Of legal pro-
ceedings on the payment Of $1,000
600 to the Taft campaign fund, was
the subject of dispatch from Wash
ington published yesterday in the
New York World. Voluminous cor
respondence is said to have passed
between Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Bon
aparte on the subject, and Mr.. Roose-
velt's rejection of the offer is describ
ed as emphatic.
According to this story, it was sug-
gested that if trust st-busting" opera
uons were abandoned, or at least
suspended, the money would be con-
tributed and many powerful connec-
uons would be enlisted in Mr.. Taft's
behalf, but that refusal might instill
hostility.
The following letter is quoted:
The White House,
AT Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 25, 1908.

The new schedule that the Allan
tic Coast Line put into effect on the
18th inst, seems not to please ary-
body In this section. Sumter, Or
aDgehurg, Florence, Darlington AMI
many other smaller towns are kick
ing vigorously. The most serious
complaint that the business men have
against the new schedule is that it
seriously interferes with the mail ia
cilities of Sumter, in that the North
ern mail, which formerly reached
this city on the early morning train,
now Is not received until about 10
o'clock and cannot be distributed un-
til nearly noon. The new schedule is
not convenient to the travelling pub
lie and there is much complaint on
this score. 1t is suggested that the
mail service could be materially i'm
proved If the local train that now
leaves here at a. m. o'clock for Au-
gusta, should be made up in Flor
ence about a. m. This train could
carry the Northern mail and put it
here in time for the first delivery.
If this train ran through from Flor
cnce to Augusta it would be a great
convenience to the travelling public.
