me that Uncle Sam has down here At
Panama the cream of the railroad
engineers and conductors Of The
United States. We pay the highest
salaries that are paid to railroad men
anywhere in the world and our men
nave the best treatment. We now
have altogether 413 locomotive eng
neers on the isthmus. and $50 Of
these are receiving more than s. 800
a year. We have other engineers,
who are not qualified to run on the
main line of the Panama road. who
are receiving $3.50 a month

from $3.50 TO s215 per month. and

Wayne MacVeagh Details
Story of How Roosevelt APP
peaIed to Magnate
(By Associated Press.) =

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.--Wayne Mac
veagh, a former federal attorney gem
eral, today told the Clapp committee in
vestigating campaign contributions that
]. p. Morgan never had conversed with
him about political contributions
Yesterday Charles Edward Russell. So
cialist candidate for governor of New
York, and ]. c. Welliver, a magazine
writer, testified regarding an alleged
campaign funds conversation in 1904 be-
tween Mr.. Morgan and e. H. Hartman,
about which, according to Welliver, Mac
Veagh had related he had been inform
ed by Mr.. Morgan while in the financier's
office.
Mr.. MacVeagh said, however, he did
not wish to assert he had not given
Mr.. Welliver some basis for his story"
1T may have called on Mr.. Morgan on
the day 1 have in mind" said Mr.. Mac
Veagh, but 1 remember calling on HI.
Mex. Twombly at his office in the latter
part OF October, 1904. While we were
cOnversing he was called to the tele-
phone. When Mr.. Twombly returned he
told me he had been talking to Mr..
E. II. Hartman; that Mr.. Hartman had
been called to Washington by Colonel
Roosevelt and had found the president
anxious for the raising of an additional
fund for the campaign; that 1t had re-
suited in Mr.. Hartman agreeing to raise
and give to Mr.. Bliss $24O.OOO. Mr.. Twom-
bly, said that Mr.. Hartman had called
him up, and said he expected him to
give $4,000. Mr.. Twombly said to me:
Mr.. Hartman is going to give $4,000;
that he had been asked to give $4,000,
and he said something that led me to
infer that Mr.. Morgan would give $50 900.
Mr. Macveagh said that, undoubtedly,
was the incident to which Mr.. Russell
and Mr.. Welliver had alluded.
Mr.. MacVeagh also related a recent
converse ton with, Charles A. Peabody,
president OF the Mutual Life Insurance
company, in which Mr.. Peabody said he
had been In Mr.. Harriman's ONCE when
he called up Mr.. Twombly about the
contribution.
Mr. Peabody said Mr.. Hartman told
him he would be down to Washington,
and that the president insisted, request
ed or desired that he raise the addi-
tional money, part OF it for the state
campaign in New York and part of 1t
for use in other states"
