Former President With Finan-
cial Interests.

Washington, D. G.. Nov. 20.--Warton
Barker, a retired banker of Philadel-
phia, sprang sensation on the Senate
committee on interstate commerce yes
terday, when he alleged that a New York
financier told him in 1904 that the finan-
eial interests would support President
Roosevelt for president because the lat
ter had made bargain "wth them on
the railroad question"
Mr.. Barker's statement came IN the
midst OF an attack on the money trust, I"
in which he alleged also that President
Roosevelt had been given the details Of
the impending panic of 1907 several
months before il happened, but took no
action to prevent it. He declared that
the Aldrich currency plan was the handi-
work, not of former Senator Aldrich. but
of a Mr., Warburton of the banking firm
of Kuhn Loeb & CO., of New York; and
that fund of $l,000,0O0 had been start
ed to insure its adoption.
"Three or four weeks before the cleo
tion in 1904" said Mr.. Barker, II was
walking down Broadway, when | met
one of the most distinguished money
kings in New York, man now dead. He
said to me, we are going to elect Roose-
velt.' | expressed surprise and asked if
he had given up the support of Parker.
He said yes; that they had frightened
Roosevelt so he had made bargain with
them
Members of the committee looked
somewhat ineredulous and Mr.. Barker
added:

Il wish he were" said Senator Town
send "it would be interesting"
Mr.. Barker said the financial giant.
whom he declined to name, told that
Roosevelt had "made bargain on the
railroad question"
Mr.. Barker continued:
:" He is to holler all he wants to- he
told me, but by and by railroad bill
win be brought in by recommendation of
the president cutting off rebates and free
passes, which suits us, who own the
railroads. permitting the railroads to
make pooling arrangements and provid-
ing for maximum rates.
The railroad man added, said Mr..
Barker, that under the latter authority
it would be possible to add from $780,
100000 to $400,000,000 to the total
freight charges paid by the American
public
81 told him ! didn't believe Roosevelt
had made any such agreement" said Mr.
Barker, "but when the annual message
OF 1905 went to Congress he recommend
ed most of those things. | wrote 20

UNKNOWN MAN KILLED.
Man Found Under Railroad Bridge at
Norwood, Mass, Last Night.

Norwood, Mass, Nov. 29.-Some mys-
terry attaches to the death Of an I'M
known man whose body was found on
Washington Haven and Hartford rail-
road bridge last night. 1t was at first
thought that the man had been struck
by a train while walking on the railroad
tracks overhead, but persons have been
found who say that they saw a fast
moving automobile containing four men
dash by the spot near where the man
was found a few moments later, and
the police are investigating the theory
that the man may have met his death
by the automobile. He was about five
feet, four inches tall, 3s or 40 years old,
and had a thin red moustache, with
light hair.
No marks Of Identification were found
on his clothing, except possibly a ruler
with the initials "F. w b." 1t is not
known whether these were the mans
initials or those of a paper company in
this town.

KISSING INDUCED IN.
There Were Sneezing Spells Also and
Some Cries of Rotten" Last Night,

New York, Nov. 29-There was only
an echo last night of the rioting which
accompanied the performance Of "The
Play Boy of the Western World" in its
initial performance here Monday night,
when disturbances were raised and mis-
siles thrown at the actors. Shortly aft
ef the start of the piece last night when
the scene was reached that was consid-
cred the most Objectionable by those who
thought that it libelled the Irish race,
sybillant stream of Kisses was again
evoked. The burst Of applause that came
simultaneously, however, practically
eounterbalanced the opposing demonstra-
tion and thereafter throughout the even.
ing the audience was more moved to
applause than to expressions of disap-
probation.
Seven men in all were elected from
the theatre during the evening, some
OF them for excessive sneezing, which
led the 90 plain clothes men sprinkled
among the audience TO suspect that they
were carrying some mischief making
substanc, During the last act the hiss
ing was more pronounced than at any
time after The early scene and there
were some cries of "rotten!" and similar
eXpletives from the upper house.
The presence of Col. Theodore Roose-
welt, who occupied box with Lady
Gregory, the patroness Of the Irish play
ers, was observed from all parts of the
house and the colonel was loudly ap-
plauded when he left the theatre. He
took dinner with Lady Gregory before
the performance. At the close of the
play the colonel would not discuss it
in any way
Late yesterday a committee of we'll
known lrishmen called on Mayor Gay
nor and asked him to stop the produc-
tion Of the Synge comedy. He said
that he would delegate Chief Maeis-
trate McAdoo to attend the performance
and report to him. After the curtain
had gone down last night, Mr. McAdoo.
asked as to the report he will make, said
that if his only mission was to decide If
the play were immoral his task was
"an easy one" The audience filled the
playhouse to its capacity.
