]. P. MORGAN GAVE
$4,000 TO CAMPAIGN
Denied Any Communication with
Roosevelt, but Told Committee
That He Put Up the Stuff.
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, Oct. 3.-Tugging at his
mustache. J. Pierpont Morgan took
his chair as the first witness today
before the campaign investigation
committee. He watched the commit
tee members closely Mr.. Morgan de-
MED that he had any recollection that
Roosevelt had demanded from him
(Morgan) over the telephone that he
raise 100000 for the campaign fund.
He said he never corresponded with
Roosevelt by mail, telegraph or tele-
phone.
Mr.. Morgan said he did contribute
to the republican national campaign
fund in 1904, giving 100000 in Oc-
tober and $5O,eOO on November /.
Mr.. Morgan said he gave $4,000 to
the republican campaign fund in 1908.
He made no contributions to the pre-
convention fund this year Up to 1904,
he said, 100000 was about the reg
ular contribution expected of him. He
contributed to no other parties than
the republican in 1901. He could re-
call no conferences OF the big finan-
cial interests over any presidential
campaign, and said ne did not believe
such conferences were held
Mr.. Morgan could not remember
definitely, but be ieved Odell OF New
York and Bliss secured the 1904 con-
tributions, and taat they were for use
in New York state. The fund was
given because of the bad effect from
republican point of view a demo-
cratic victory in New York might have
on the remainder of the country.
Emphatically Mr. Morgan said:
81. +. Morgan & Co. never made a
single subscription to any election
with any promise or expectation of
any return in any shape or manner,
anl we never made subscription un-
less we thought it was for the best
interests of the government and the
people. We never had a communica-
ton from any candidate. We never
had an application from any capdi-
date. We never expected returns and
we never got any"
Speaking of contributions being
"for the good of the country Mr..
Morgan said when he personally want
ed something he did not consider he
ought to have. he tried to get over
wanting it.

corsets fail to wash well. Naptha soap

dampen between the stays with a soft
