had made bargain" with them "on
the railroad question"
Mr.. Barker's statement came In the
midst of a vigorous attack on the
money trust" in which he alleged
also that President Roosevelt had
been given the details of the 1mpend-
ing panic of 1907 several months be-
fore it happened, but took no action
to prevent it. He asserted that the
Aldrich currency plan vas the handi-
work, not of former Senator Aldrich,
but of Mr.. Warburton Of the bank
ing firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. OF
New York, and that a fund Of 81 ,OOO,-
900 had been started to insure lts
adoption. #
"Three or four weeks before the
election in 1904" said Mr.. Barker, I
was walking down Broadway when
met one Of the most distinguished
money kings in New York, a man
now dead. He said to me: We are
going to elect Roosevelt. ex-
pressed surprise and asked If he had
given up the support of Parker. He
said yes; that they had frightened
Roosevelt SO he had made a bargain
with them"

whom he declined to name, told him
that Roosevelt had made a bargain
on the railroad question" Mr.. Bar

that had thought the, man lied, but

Members of the committee asked
Mr.. Barker to give the name Of the
financial man who had told him that
Roosevelt was to be elected.
