LETTER SOURCE TOLD
HEARST TELLS CLAPP BODY WHO
GAVE ARcHBoLD EPIsTLES.
Foraker Says Publisher Paid $4,000
to Obtain Oil Mans
Letters.

Washington, Dec. 19-Before the
senate campaign investigating com.
mlttee Tuesday William r. Hearst
produced several new letters bearing
upon the alleged political activities
OF John d. Archbold and the Standard
OIL company. Mr. Hearst testified
that he knew nothing as to the Incl,
dents related in the letters or the cir.
cumstances in which Mr.. Archbold
might have sent money to former
Senator Forager of Ohio and former
Representative Joseph C. Sibley of
pennsylvania, to whom some Of the
letters were addressed.
Chairman Clapp asked Mr.. Hearst
If he ever saw the originals of the
letters published in his magazine. He
said he was not certain, but he be-
lieved he had seen only the photo.
graphic facsimile copies.
"Of whom did you get them?" ask
ed Senator Clapp.
Mr.. Hearst hesitated a moment.
Il am anxious" he began, ito testi-
fly very fully to everything that am
personally concerned in and every
thing of interest to this inquiry. Do
you feel that this is essential to the
inquiry?"
Senator Clapp said that the au-
thenticity of some of the letters had
been questioned. After members of
the committee had insisted upon the
information, Mr.. Hearst responded
that he got the copies of John Eddy
of London, author of four of the arti-
cles published in a magazine. He
testified that he did not know of
whom Eddy procured the letters.
A statement prepared by Gilchrist
Stewart, describing how W. w. Wink
field, negro, son of Mr., Archbold's
butler, and Charles Stump took the
John Archbold letters" from the Of
flee Of the Standard Oil company and
sold them for $4,000 to a representa-
tive of William Randolph Heart, was
submitted to the senate campaign ex-
penditures investigating committee by
former Senator Joseph B. Foraker.
"Mr Hearst said Tuesday that he
did not know how the letters were
procured declared the former sena-
tor. Such preposterous story as
that you might tell to the marines,
but to no one else."

NO RECOGNITION
| BY UNITED STATES
Rebels Actions Not Such as to Appeal
to sympathies of This
Country.
IBy Associated Press.l

Washington, April 13.-It now
seems certain that the Mexican rebels
will never obtain recognition in Wash
ington. The state department is in
censed at the rebels action in the
Fountain execution and their interfer-
|ence with an American mail official.
The view of the rebels maneuvering
seems to be to precipitate interven-
tion, but they are doomed to failure.
Any Mexican leader who, in viola
tion of the international code, delib-
erately brings about the execution of
prisoners of war, is considered guilty,
and if he comes within the jurisdiction
of the United States can be arrested
and punished.
