Roosevelt Repeats Denial.

'eThe Outlook, 2S7 4th avenue,
"Office of Theodore Roosevelt,
New York, December 10, 1911.
Mr. George r. Sheldon.
80 Cedar Street, New York,
Dear Mr.. Sheldon: I thank you Tor
your letter, and j am glad that 1t was
written. There is little for me to add to
what YOU have said. never directly or
indirectly in any shape, way or form
asked Mr.. Hartman or anybody else to
contribute a dollar to aid in my election.
Moreover, on the only occasion on which
Mr. Hartman ever spoke to me on the
subject at all he did so of his own ini-
tiative; and so far from there being any
request from me to him, he made to me
the request that 1 would aid him I'm get
ting the national committee to contribute
some of it's funds for the campaign eX-
penses of Mr.. Higgins the candidate for
governor in New York state.
HE at the time stated to me that my
own election was assured; that the efec-
ton of Mr.. Higgins. in which he was
especially interested, was doubtful, and
that he earnestly hoped that the national
committee would divert some of it's funds
from the national to the state campaign,
where the need was great and where he
believed the election of Mr.. Higgins to
be in jeopardy. AS shown in your letter,
this was precisely what the national COM
mittee did. Very truly yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT

and the streets were filled with people
Several persons attempted to aid the
wounded man, but another bandit leaped
from the automobile and began firing on
the crowd. covering the retreat of his pal.
Two other men were on seat in the au-
tomobile, and the two men holding the
crowd at bay entered the car. which went
away at top speed, pursued by mob.
The robbers opened fire on the nearest
pursuers and succeeded in escaping.
The only person seriously hurt in the
whole ARRAY was the messenger, who is
likely to die.
No trace has yet been found of the rob-
bers. The number of the car is known,
but it is believed that it is false one.
The business district where the shooting
occurred is terrorized.

AWAIT ACTION OF CONGRESS.
Naval Authorities Unable to Grant
REQUESTS for Maine Relics.

Sentimentalists and souvenir hunters,
as well as town governments and pa
triotic organizations, have been pouring
requests into the Navy Department re-
Gently for relics from the Inflated battle
ship Maine AS the department has no
authority for disposing of any part Of the
vessel. Of course, all requests to date
have been turned down.
No attempt has yet been made to ascer-
tain just what parts of the wreck might
be available to be given away, although
it has been suggested that such articles
as the staff, gun mounts, guns, whistles
and even the bell would make interesting
adornments for the headquarters of pa
triotic organizations or the naval museum.
The department is awaiting upon action
of Congress before making any plans for
the disposition of the wreck.

MONEY FOR HIGGINS.
Harriman's Contribution Not
Given to Aid Roosevelt.
STATEMENT BY SHELDON
Treasurer of Republican National
Committee Says Subscription Was
Made to Save State Ticket.

NEW YORK. December 22.-The follow
ing correspondence between Theodore
Roosevelt and George r. Sheldon, treas
urer of the republican national commit
tee. regarding the contribution of e. IL.
Hartman to republicans in 1904, has been
made public:
Treasurer Sheldon's Statement.
December H. 1911.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Oyster Bay,
n Y:
Dear Mr. Roosevelt: Ever since the
election of 1904, the story has been con-
tinuously published and never denied, ek-
cept by you, that you asked Mr.. f. II.
Hartman to contribute money to aid in
your election, and that he thereupon
raised OF contributed $4,000 to the ma
tional committee fund. Knowing this to
be untrue, I several times suggested to
my superior officer Mr.. &. y. Bliss, then
treasurer of the national committee, that
the facts in the case be plainly stated.
Mr.. Bliss always believed that the
books and accounts of the national COM
mittee We're private, and. although always
carried on by him with the highest sense
Of integrity and honor, he never, like all
of his contemporaries, would consent TO
any publicity. This feeling has been
changed in the last few years by the
laws requiring full publicity in elections.
1t seems. therefore to me. that now, III
Justice to you, the facts in the case ought
to be known.
Every one knew and conceded that IN
the election of 1904 you would carry the
state of New York by large plurality,
but it was generally believed that Mr.
Higgins would be defeated. The demo-
Gratis conferred their efforts on the election
of their candidate for governor. About a
week before the election Mr.. Odell, then
chairman of the New York state commit
tee came to Mr.. Bliss and told him that
unless he had $2JO,00O from the national
committee the state ticket would be de-
feated Mr.. Bliss told Chairman Odell
that he had no money to give, but would
see what could be done. He visited Mr.
T.. III. Hartman at his office and en-
planned to him the urgency OF the situa-
ton, as told by Mr.. Odell.
Mr. Hartman thereupon called up sew
eral of his friends on the telephone, and
next day handed Mr.. Bliss 100000. MT
Bliss himself raised $4,000. This sum OF
$40 600 was handed directly to Chairman
Odell and never in any way went into the
treasury of the national committee, when
had in charge the presidential election.
have personal knowledge of all the within
mentioned facts. Very truly yours,
GEORGE r. SHELDON,
Treasurer Republican National Com
mittee."
