Congressman AIneS Sudden
" Initiated Into the
AnaDiaS Club
Former Executive Emphdt.
iCa||y Statements Attribut-
ed to Him
(By Associated Press.)

Boston, Mass, Jan. 14.-Former
President Theodore Roosevelt took a
leap into the Massachusetts senator
ial contest tonight, when, in tele'
gram addressed to Joseph Walker,
speaker of the Massachusetts house
of representatives, he vigorously
championed the cause of Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge and charged Con-
gresham Ames with deliberately mis-
representing the facts. The tele-
gram, which was sent from Oyster
Bay, was called forth by the publ
cation today of an alleged statement
by Ames, who is active in opposi-
ton to the candidacy OF Senator
Lodge for reelection. 1t reads as
follows:
"Oyster Bay, l.. l.,
January IA.
Hon. Joseph Walker, Brookline, Mass.
STORY told by Ames, reported in
newspapers as to alleged conversa-
ton between me, Lodge and New
berry about purchase of colliers is
deliberate and outrageous falsehoOd.
| never made any such remark and
no such conversation ever took place.
During twenty-six years haze known
Lodge, he has acted on all occasions
and especially when he has dealt
with public matters or matters having
any connection with governments be-
half not merely with absolute hon.
esty but highest and most delicate
sense of propriety.
Il never had any talk with him
about these colliers at all. 1t is
shocking to think that Ames should
invent such outrageous falsehoods
about public man of such rigid in
tegrity and probity; falsehood for
which there is not even smallest
in fact.-TheOdOre ROose-
velt."
Ames was quoted as saying that
when president, reprimand-
ed Senator Lodge in the presence of
Secretary of the Navy
Truman l.. Newberry, for an alleged
attempt to force the purchase Of two
Golfers by the navy department at
a cost Of $1,500,00O. According to
published statements credited to Ames
Roosevelt, after listening to New.
berry's explanation turned to Senator
Lodge and said: cabot, I told you
not to monkey with these things. Sec
'etary Newberry is absolutely right"
Ames said his information as to the
conversation came from Newberry.
After learning of Roosevelt"s COM
nent tonight, Ames said: Il am
leither surprised nor disturbed at my
initiation into the celebrated club.
ave invented nothing and have not
knowingly overstated or misstated the
ase. The fact that should be in
tiated into the celebrated club before
aims were taken to get an accurate
tatement from me, was to be ex-
ected. have given to the press
his afternoon what l believe to be
true statement of the facts in con-
ection with these GOLFERS. l was
some extent incorrectly quoted in
lany papers" The latest state
tent to which Ames refers denies
lat he ever mentioned the particu-
r words calling down" or called
own," in reference to Roosevelt's
with Lodge, otherwise
e statement does not differ essen
ally from his previous one.

Detective Nurse Says She
/ Was Offered $1,000 to
Administer Poison
Defendant was Afraid There
Might be Post Moftem Ex'
animation Of Body
(Ry Associated Press.)

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 14.-Testl-
monv to the effect that Mrs. Laura
Farnsworth Schenk had offered her
81 900 to administer poison to John y.
Schenk at the North Wheeling hospital
last November was given today by FL
eanor Zoeckler, detective nurse, who
had heretofore been called Mrs. Klein,
professional nurse: The attempt to
induce the nurse to give poison to
Schenk, the witness testified, was made
while the two were riding i'll Mrs.
Schenk's automobile.
Miss Zoeckler declared that Mrs.
Schenk said to her, John treats me
like dog. When Miss Evans (another
nurse in the Schenk case) calls up from
the hospital and tells me that my hus-
band is dead, I will be the happiest
person in the world. l feel at times
that I coul dkill that man." "Why
don't you?' l asked. She turned around
and said, well, you do it for me-"
"rhat is another thing I told her.
What will you take to give him a
pill?" she asked. Il will take S., ,OO0,"
/ replied Il need the money awful
bad. l have my mother and child to
keep Good Lord!" replied Mrs:
Schenk, Il haven't five thousand, but !
will give you one thousand, if you will
make it that" l told her that this was
a very risky busines for that small
amount, but l finally agreed, if she
would give me paper in writing show
ing that she was to pay me the money
as soon as she came into her widows
rights. Mrs. Schenck promised to 6 i've
me the money, but objected to giving
me any written promise. She said that
would be dangerous She al"o said
that she would get the stuff and bring
it up to the hospital the next morning.
She wanted me to either give it to
Schenk or to put it in his medicine,
which would be placed beside his bed so
could take it himself.
How could you do anything like
that?" | asked her you would know
that you and I killed him." Il will
never be happy until that man is dead,
she said; If he dies; | will wear a
double veil so they can't see me laugh
ing behind it." We agreed on the plan
and she said, "As soon as John is dead
call me before you do Schenk's. If!
Albert Schenk knew about this, he
would be up to the hospital before l
could cross the BRIDGE See that you
get Johns keys for me- Mrs. Schenk
did not come to the hospital the next
morning, which was November 2, at
the time she said she would. l called
her up and asked her why she did not
bring the stuff. She aid she did not
care to talk over the phone and that
Sc would be up later. When she came
we went into vacant room. | asked
her why she had not brought the pill,
and she said she was afraid to. She
said she had tried to get the stuff,
though, but couldn't. She said she was
afriad, because if John died suddenly
Albert Schenk and DR.. Haskins, Johns |
brother-in-law, would have the stomach
examined right away, and then she !
would be suspected. The plan to pois- |
on Schenk, witness declared, was then
dropped by Mrs. Schenk, whom she did
not see for some time.
