 William Finn, the Pittsburg Roose. welt leader, and Ellen H. Hooker, na- tional treasurer of the progressive party were under subpoenas to appea, for examination
 E. H. Hooker, treasurer of the pro- gressive party, told the Clapp com mittee Investigating campaign fund today that Charles R. Crane of Ch' cago had donated $7O,OOO to Senate, La Follette's campaign fund and $70- 900 to Governor Wilson's fund prior tc the Baltimore convention, practically at lHe Sdl16 tliuo.

 MT. Finn said he would produce to the committee J. G. Slain, mar who without his authority had signed Films name to telegram to the Standard Oil Company asking support for seat in the senate. This was one of the telegrams produced by Senator Penrose when he made his sensation al charges against Finn.
 MT. Hooker appeared first and said he had acted informally as national treasurer of the Roosevelt organiza- ton in the pre-convention campaign He placed in evidence statemerf of all receipts and expenditures \ir the Roosevelt primary campaign in New York City.
 "The secretary of the state of New York;" said Mr. Hooker, ''said this was the most complete statement eve, filed by special political committee.
 The statement was made public a the time it was filed It showed that S59, ,126.35 had been contributed. and S52,6O6.52 spent in the primary cam naign in New York The balance Of S6,5l9.93, was turned owed to the ma tional primary campaign fund

Perkins was showr to have contributed $15.OOO to the New York campaign and $22, 300 to the national campaign, and Frank A Munsey about the same.'
 How many votes did you get in the New York primaries?" asked Sen. ator Pomerone.
 About 30,0OO-as many as Taft got. said Hooker, "but they were not counted
 Senator POmerone observed that tho urinary expenditure was at the rate 'of about s2 a vote.'
 MT. Hooker vigorously resented any inference that any money was expend- ed in an improper way.
 q believe that this national pri- mary campaign was the most econon,, lcal ever conducted" he said "More economical than any, except the Taft on Page Four)

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-The stingless bee has at last arrived, hay ing been produced by an English apiarist named Burrows after two years of experiment.

WILLIAM FLYNN SAYS CONT ERUPTION TO THE FUND HAS ses,ss4-LA TOILETTE AND WILSON WERE BOTH AIDED R. cRANE-THE TREASURER NEW
 eRsssvE PARTY GIVES FULL FIGURES

WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-The total expenditures of William Finn in the 1912 Progressive campaign have been $144, 1908, according to statement he gave to the senate campaign expen- ditures committee today. The total Roosevelt expenditures, covering MT. Films personal activity as the Roosevelt leader in Pennsylvania, was $99,3S4. But the statement showed an additional sum of $9O.SO, expended by John s. Weller, treasurer of the Roosevelt league.
 Other amounts expended by MT. Finn came under the head of eX- penditures in republican and progress sive organization work, which Mr. Finn did not characterize as "Roose- welt expenditures"
 MT. Finn said the contributions other than his own did not aggregate nore than $20,O0O ''I did not ask for, any contributions" he said. 'I did not know what the bill was going to cost, but I am perfectly willing to nay for it"
 MT. Finn said he had contributed 5000 to the Roosevelt campaign in Massachusetts. He also admitted contribution of 5000 to Senator La Follette's campaign.
 'It was before I was a Roosevelt man, he added, and a general laugh went around.
 Senator Pomerone produced a copy of what was said to be an agreement between the late Senator Quay, MT. Film and J. O. Brown, under which political affairs in Pennsylvania were to have been apportioned between them.
 "Did you write that agreement" the senator demanded.
 "Yes, I did; or rather, I wrote an agreement something like that" said Finn
 The agreement purported to pro- vide that the three men named there in should divide city and federal pat ronage equally and work together pc litically It already has been pub lished MT. Finn said he had framed the agreement to allay the opposition of Senator Quay to the republican can didate for mayor of Pittsburg; that he had never signed it and never intend ed to sign it. but had written it to "eain time" from Quay.
 You recognize that it is about as vicious an agreement as could be ade, don't you?" demanded Senator Fomerone.
 MT. Finn said he never had intend d it should be effective.
 T cold the senator a gold brick, eaid Finn
 Did you accomplish your purpose?" arked Pomerone. q did, when I secured the election of the republican mayor"
 Senator Oliver took up the ques- tion of MT. Films activity in politics and Him asked Oliver if he remem-
 
 ticket a number of years ago
 "The combined salaries of the posi- tions were $7OOOO. and do you recol- lect we spent $11O,0OO?" asked Film. "No. I don't remember anything 0, the kind," replied MT. Oliver. My memory is excellent on it." said Mr. Finn.

Under President Wilson no more Pinchots will be kicked out of the ser. vice; no more unspeakable McCabes will exercise dictatorial powers. There will be no more cotton leaks and jun gle atrocities, no more Everglade swindles."
 How does MT. Wiley know this? Or isn't he just guessing? And guessing without any reason at all, except that he, being a college man, puts his faitt in an associate college man?
 pr. Wiley admits that he supports the democratic nominee ''in full knowl edge that many of the prominent dem ocrats in congress have been in full sympathy with the paralysis of the pure food law in behalf of the unholy dollar" But he "guesses" that with a democratic president and vice presi- dent lending their powerful sympathy in behalf of public health" these prom inent democrats in congress who fav- or "the unholy dollar" will be per suaded to sympathize with the public
 Was ever argument more futile? Were ever reasons as spacious and foolish? pr. Wiley ought to get oul of the campaign right quick and look himself over.

Aug. %, 1910. The building was Il
small four-room cottage, which was
furnished by various citizens. Soon
it was found moro room was neces-
sary and a second small cottage was
erected and four tents secured. Since
the opening we have cared for over
three hundred patients. Not one ap-
plicant has been refused. nor one
complaint made by a patient Of want
of care. At present new BRICK
building is going up that will cost,
unfurnishcd, about $9,500. 1t will
be completed early this fall, and will
answer all demands for the next few
years.
Our success is largely due to the
press OF our city, who have kept the
public Informed OF the good we are
doing, and thus aroused the interest
of our citizens. If some one of your

Commissioner W. \. McRae and

Chemists Letter.
rhc letter mentioned follows:

The letter mentioned follows:
You ask us to suggest standard
of acid 10 total sugar ratio, to deter
mine the question of maturity or i'm
maturity in an orange, and it is inn
possible in the first place, and, in the
S, cOnd Place, it would b" most unwise
for you 10 have such standard if
il We're possible.
The acid to sugar contents of an
orange has nothing whatever to do
with thu question of maturity. 1t
would be- as far away from deter
mining iactor as would the contents
of the blood of man or woman be
from the question of their maturity.
The question of maturity is one for
l. horticulturist end not chemist
to decide.
Even if it were possible to have
such IA standard, it would be most
unwisc, as it would mean an endless

ing cost for every grower and for
skipper. Please try and realize that
the appearance of the fruit is no in
dicatiOn of the acid and the sugar
contents, also that each and every
variety has different contents and
ratio and that no two oranges from
the same tree will have exactly the
same contents or ratio, and what is
quite important, fruit of the same va
r.ety under different conditions of
soil, care, fertilization and exposure
will show a great difference in the
contents and ratio, whether the out
ward appearance is distinguishable
or indistinguishable. You may think
this is a broad statement, but We
make it with experience, as We have
found the acid and sugar contents
higher in some oranges with the rind
green than in the fruit from
