Clam Committee.
gangsters

Washington, Oct. S.-A straight
issue OF veracity was squarely raised
Yesterday before Clapp committee IN
vestigating campaign contributions,
regarding the story that j. Pierpont
Morgan was assured for more money
by President Roosevelt in 1904 and
called Roosevelt "blank, blank ma
MAC" or some other uncomplimen-
tary name. The whole affair. was
"put up" to Wayne MacVeagh, who
has previously denied ne was the
source of the tale. Morgan said it
"wa5 made out of whole cloth"
Charles Edward Russell, socialist
candidate for governor of New York,
told the comritte today That he was
told the story by Judson c. WelliveT,
a reporter from Hampton's Magazine,
an Gthe publications. Wolliver, who
was at the press table reporting the
hearing, Immediately demanded to be
sworn. He insisted that the tale was
subs antially correct and that ne got
it al; from MacVeagh.
Senator Clapp said MacYeagh Will
be Summoned Immediately.
TIE committee also received
the information that Senator LIE Fol
lettc was given about S6S,O00 for his
pre-convention fight.
Charles r. Crane, the millionaire
iron manufacturer Of Chicago, also
diYulged bifurcated political contr-
buttons. He denied that he gave
$4,000 each to the La Follotte and
Wilgon nomination fights. But Crane
admitted that he gave S26,6S4 to La
Fol!ette and $4,000 to Wilson He
sale, he did this to insure the nominal
ton Of some Progressive candidate.
Louis Hammerling, advertising
aee,.t for foreign newspapers print
ed in the United States, also told the
committee that the Progressives
BOUGHT $500 worth Of newspaper
space before the Republican conven-
tior.

TAX RETURNS.

The Gazette has several times called
attention to the activities of State
Auditor C. Lee Moore, in reference
to the evasion of the State law, on
THE subject Of returns of personal
property, and incomes for taxation.
We are confident, that as the result
of Mr.. Moore's work, the question Of
a more equitable basis for taxation in
Virginia which has been pending be-
fore the Legislature for a number OF
years will be given greater attention
by the tax payers throughout the
state.
Mr. Moore has just issued state
ment to the Judges of the Circuit
and Corporation Courts of Virginia
in which he calls attention to the large
number of discrepancies or omissions
in many Of the books of the Commits
sioners of Revenue and has asked
that the attention of the grand jurles
be called to the matter.
We are glad to note than AieXan-
dria slows up somewhat better than
the majority of the cities and coun-
ties in the state, but like all other
communities in Virginia many of the
property owners have failed to in
clude in their sworn returns to the
Commissioner or Revenue much OF
their personal property which is sub
iecu to taxation.

 Gov Hadiey made an earnest piea that personalities be left out of the debate, declaring the question vas so clearly one of principle that it should not be involved by anything else. It embraced the very existence of the Republican party itself.
 Gov Hadley was followed by W. T. Dovell of Washington, for the Taft side
 Dovell said it was utterly false that the state of Washington ever was carried for Roosevelt" At this point he was interrupted by angry jeers from Roosevelt partisans.
 MT Doyell was interrupted with groans from the Roosevelt forces when he declared:
