tive of all that is worst in our business
and political life--he deliberately and
wilfuIly misrepresented me but | well

Senator Penrose when he reached his
office today in The Outlook building.
The colonel arrived in town early in
the day from WilkeSbarre. where he
made speech last night during which
he took occasion 10 refer to the state
ment made by Penrose that big por-
ton of the colOners campaign fund had
been received in the way of contribu-
ton from Standard Oil interests. He
dictated in forCeful terms the state
ment in which he places Penrose in the
Ananias club and denies emphaticallv
that he knew OF the Standard Oil con-
tribution or that he wrote the letters
to CortelyOu asking that the Contribu-
tons be refused as means of furnish
ing good campaign material The state
ment in part, follows:

The PennsyNania senator is hghting
mad and he is planning a double re-
suit from his attack ON his tormentors.
First he wants revenge for the allega-

show up Bull Moose political con-
ditions.
Friends OF Penrose declare that he
has documents in his possession to
prove charges which he has made
against Colonel Roosevelt. chief Of

Three Penrose Letters.

Archbold said that he had a record
of only three letters to Senator Pen

mittee None of them bore upon the
matter under consideration. one of
them was a request for Penrose to use
his influence toward an appointment
for Archbold's hrother-in- law. written
in April, 1904, but this was not in the
record
Archbold declared he also had talks
with Senator Scott Of West Virginia.
and that both Scott and Elkins were
disposed TO give the Standard Oil cred

Virginia to change it from the Demo
cratic to the Republican column. He
said, further, that the employees of the

the stand which the company had
taken.

Mr. Bliss gave me the assurance not

The letter President Roosevelt wrote
Chairman George B. Cortelyou, of the
Republican national committee, telling
him to accept no contribution from
the Standard Oil Company, was sent
about week before the election SEN
ator Penrose declared.
AS | understand, the money had
been received before this letter of Mr..
Roosevelt was dated said Senator
Reed.
Considerably" said Senator Pen
rose
Had the money been spent, or was
it on hand, and was it in fact re-
turned?" asked Senator Reed.
The information | have always had
as to the transaction was that Mr.
Roosevelt was advised that the money
had been spent. and could not be re-
turned and the letter was sent to
make record for future reference"
replied Senator Penrose.
DO you know that any large sums
of the money were contributed to the
national Republican committee in 1904
that were returned to the donors ~
asked Senator Reed
The returning of contributions is
such a rare instance on the part of
political committees that if there had
been any other case it would have
made a profound impression on my
mind and | do not recall any others, "
replied Senator Penrose.
Senator Reed asked whether MI Pen
rose knew of any contribution to the
campaign fund in 1904 by the Missouri
Pacific, Southern Pacific or Gould in
terests.
Il have no direct knowledge" MI
Penrose answered, simply my infor-
nation at the time that large contribu
lions were made from those interests.
You mean that while actively en-
gagged with the Republican nationa
committee as member of that com
mittee. you understood that these in
terests had contributed heavily to tn,

That is correct" said Penrose

Says T. R. Knew
What Chiefs Did.

ITO what extent were the acts of the
national committee concealed from Mr.
Roosevelt" asked Senator Reed
My observation of Mr.. Roosevelt,
said Penrose, has been that he was
well calculated to have pretty superior
knowledge about everything that was
going on in the national committee.
do not think there was a day. and in
some days, an hour in the day, when
the chairman of the national commit
tee was not in communication with him
over the telephone"
Senator Stone wanted to know how
the $4,000, 900 which Mr.. Penrose had
said was raised for Colonel Roosevelt
was used.
Il meant to state, said Senator Pen
rose, that the object of this enormous
amount and unprecedented campaign
fund was the ultimate control of the
regular Republican nomination al Chi
cago. What underwriting has occurred
since then for the third party remains
to be developed"
Senator Borah Interrupted to ask
about the activities OF the Republican
no tlOildi committee at the tnlCdRO
convention.
The majority of the national COM
mlttee exercised every opportunity pos
sible to restrict and restrain the efforts
to purchase colored Taft delegates at
$4,000 head replied Senator Penrose.
Il suppose the senator is not pre-
pared TO state how they got them
back" asked Senator ROrah
we got them back by appealing to
their manhood and their reputation for
honor and integrity and in most every
case We got them back Mr.. Penrose
answered
Il take it. Mr.. President that the
men who would wander off the reser-
walton for the purpose of raising the
price could have not very much man
hood left to appeal to- to get back, "

Penrose declaring that President
Roosevelt always was in close touch
with the national committee managing

When the colloquy was concluded,
Senator Reed made an extended speech
attacking Roosevelt, reopening the
question of the $250,000 collected for the
Republican campaign fund in 1904 by
f. n. Hartman, and placing in the
record all of the so-caHed "Archbold"
correspondence recently published.

A second attack on former President
Roosevelt in the senate Yesterday orig
mated in a colloquy between Senator
Reed, Of Missouri, and Senator Pen
rose. of Pennsylvania, who presented a
resolution demanding an investigation
of the circumstances set forth in his
statement to the senate Wednesday, in
which he charged that 100000 oil
Standard Oil money went into the 1904
Roosevelt campaign fund with Presi-
dent Roosevelt's knowledge.
Senators Penrose, Reed and VIII
liams each attacked Colonel Roosevelt,
and Senator PoindeXter, of Washing :
ton, supporter of the new Progress
sive party, came to his defense. Sena >
tor PoindeXter charged that a combi-
nation of regular Republicans" and
Democrats was at work to defame
Colonel Roosevelt
The debate between Senators Reed
and Penrose was marked by the readi-
ness with which the latter replied to
Senator Reeds questions. Early in the
afternoon the two senators. with Sena-
tor Smith, of Maryland. had short
conference.
Senator Penrose. in answer to ques-
tions from Senator Reed, declared that
according to his information" Colonel
Roosevelt knew that 100000 of Stand
ard Oil money had been received and
spent in 1904 before he wrote a letter
directing that any standard Oil contr-
buttons be returned. A new element
was injected into the politica imbroglio
when Senator Penrose suggested to
Senator Reed;
There has come to my notice quite
a lot of information leading to the
thought that some three million dollars
was underwritten by George w. Per-
kins and his associates to nominate
Mr.. Roosevelt for the presidency of the
regular Republican party in the present
campaign. Evidence regarding this
matter will be submitted to the proper
senate committee for consideration.
The ultimate object of this enormous
fund was the control of the Republican
party in the interests of the element
represented by Mr.. Perkins. The lar
gest campaign fund in the history Of
the United States for Il nomination was
raised for Mr. Roosevelt at the pri-
marieS last winter"

Archbold discussed the Hartman in
cident and said that Rogers and Harri-
man himself had told him of the rails
ing of Harrimans fund.
Did you or your company ever re-
ceive any letter from Colonel Roosevelt
expressing his appreciation for the con
tribution?" asked Senator Jones
I'VE did not He evidently decided
that different course would be better
for him and threw out an anchor to
windward."
During the course of the description
of the prosecution by the department
OF justice. of the Standard Oil Com
pany rebate cases, Mr. Archbold for
the only time during the hearing
showed traces of anger
There was absolutely no ground for

afraid, replied the witness. that it might
not look well if the manager of the Re

seen in the offices of the STANDARD Oil

Was there any specific reference to

was also arranged that a deputation

Might Have Been
A Different Tale.

MI Bliss said that it Inundated
him to admit that he had no influence
and could do nothing at all"
Was there anything said at that
time about your making a second con-
tribution?"
"Oh, there might have been, but Mr..
Bliss was not the man to say, I told
you so The inference was very plain"
Pressed by Senator Pomerene. Arch
bold said that the substance of Mr..
Bliss statement at the time was that It
would have been different If I'VE had
done as he wished US to-"
DO you know whether Mr.. Bliss
made any report to the national COM
mittee or to Mr.. Roosevelt TO the effect
that YOU or your assistants had declined
to make a further contribution ?" asked
Senator Pomerene
Il am sure that it was so reported"
Reverting to the Penrose contribu-
ton, Archbold testified that Penrose
approached him early in the campaign
and told him that If he CPenrose) could
handle part of the contribution that it
would strengthen him with the state
and national committees. and that Mr..
Bliss would consent to II.
Did YOU talk to Senator Penrose az
to the attitude of Mr. Roosevelt toward
your company" asked Senator Pome-
rene,
