STARTING AT $50 A. M. MEN
MARCHED RAREHEADED, CAR
RYING THEIR TooLRAGS.
SCENE WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE
Even the Heavens Weep as Mourn
ers File Through Congress Hall,
in Which Body Rested OF Cata-
faIque.

London, Aug. 24.-No fewer than
1900 workmen filed past the bier of
the late Gen. William Booth between
$50 and 9 o'clock this morning. The
scene was an intensely impressive one
as the men marched bareneaGed
through Congress Hall, many CT them
carrying their toolbags.
A long line of men was waiting
some time before the opening of th b
doors of the hall where the body was
lying in state. A heavy cold rain was
unheeded by the mourners. Officers
of the Salvation Army marshalIed
them at the doors and then they pass
ed through the hall in silence.
There was a moving scene when
Mrs. Booth Hellberg, the chief of tle
salvation Army in Denmark, Gale in
to the hall with her family, to-, their
places behind the catalalque and sang
a conservation hymn.

STANDARD OIL GIFT TO RooSE-
WELT CAMPAIGN FUND. WITH
HIS KNOWLEDGE, STARTLING.
CORTELYOU MAY Be RECALLED
Eeorse w. Perkins Will Testify Tues
day, But Possibility of subsoenaine
Mr.. Roosevelt Yet Hazy-committe
May Go to. New York.

Washington, Aug. 24.-When the
resolution by Senator Penrose direct
ing an investigation of the charges
regarding the republican campaign
fund of 1904, and the primaries OF
the 1912 presidential campaign was
called up in the senate today, Senator
PoindeXter prof. osed to broaden its
score. A debate followed
Senator Po.ndeXter proposed that
the subjects to be investigated be
extended to include all correspondence
between John D. Archbold and MEM
bers of the senate and the house of
representatives, since 1900. This
amendment was adopted.
Senator Penrose proposed that the
name of George w. Perkins be includ-
ed with that of Archbold and that the
term "eX-president of the United
States be included with members of
congress.
1t is suggested, however, he re-
marked that there is only one living
ex-president, and as we are not inter-
ested in dead ex-presidents. I wish to
substitute Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt
Or colonel, l believe his title is.
This amendment was Incorporated y
The senate special committee on
campaign contributions will look par
ticularly into the Penrose-Archbold-
Roosevelt controversy over the Stan
dard' Oil contributions to the 1904
campaign. ~otE,
+. The date of future hearings and
the witnesses to be requested to ap-
pear were questions left open for de-
cision until the senate acts on the
Penrose resolution. The committee to-
day did not consider the proposal to
summon Colonel Roosevelt.
Spurred on by the testimony of J.
l.. Archbold, alleging that the Stand
ard Oil company contributed 100000
to the republican national committee
in 1904, with the knowledge and con-
sent of Colonel Roosevelt, the senate
committee investigating campaign
funds met early today to plan for pur-
suing it's investigation.
Senator Luke Lea, democratic
member, hurrying back from the west,
arrived early today, and went into ex-
ecutive session with his colleagues 70
frame a course Of action. It was
expected the committee would decide
upon the date of further hearings, the
places at which they should be held,
and what witnesses may be called.
1t is practically decided that Geo
w. Perkins will testify Tuesday, but
whether he will come to Washington,
or whether the committee will go to
New York, where it would be conven-
lent to hear others whose names were
mentioned in Mr.. Archbolds sensa-
tional testimony, probably will be de-
termined later.
Some of the senators want to re-
call George B. Cortelyou, chairman of
the republican national committee of
1904. He told the senate committee
recently that neither the Standard Oil
company or anyone associated with it
contributed to the republican fund that
year. Mr.. Archbold yesterday declar-
ed the Standard Oil company's con-
tribution was fully known to both Mr..
Cortelyou and Colonel Roosevelt. /
The possibilities of calling Colonel
Roosevelt still are hazy.

FINAL RESULTS OF PRIMARY

TWO CANDIDATES FOR TREASUR-
Err ARE rIED-REsULTs IN
OTHER CONTESTS.
.st%&MF

Some unusually interesting contests
were fought out at the polls in Cam
den county on Wednesday. Owing to
the slowness of some of the precincts
in sending in their returns, the final
result in some of the contests was
not known until Friday.
1t is noted from the returns that
Camden is one Of the few counties in

jority. of 50. Sheriff Higginbotham
lad two opponents, w. D. Johnson
and l.. A. Vocelle, but he defeated
both of them by plurality of 118.
One of the most interesting con-
tests was that for county treasurer.
The TWO candidates were |. F. Arrow
and J. r. Bachlott. They both re-
ceived 202 votes and it is probable
that they will have to run another
race to decide who is to hold the Of
fee.
w. S. F. Clark was elected tax col
lector, defeating A. B. Cooley and c.
C. Gould by a majority of 20.
In the race for congress Walker re-
ceived 236 and Parker 167 and in the
solicitor generals race Thomas had a
total of 175, Dart 121, and Dell So.
Camden gave a majority to nearly
all of the state house officials who
were elected.
