NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-The upward
movement of prices was resumed to-
day and although the pace of the adj
vance was moderate and most of the
gains were below one per cent. the
tendency was general This activity

steel-making companies, both the

Iron Ages very cheerful review of the
situation in that trade. 1t declares
that the outlook has seldom been bet

ness or prospect for remuneratiye
prices, and lays particular stress on
the bearing of the harvest develop
ments on the industry. There ap-
peared to be moderate buying from
out of town sources, combined with
support by professional operators.
This last mentioned buying, however.
was still more or less cautious and

The remarkable situation in the

For last month alone, the total is the

WHEN HERRIMAN
VISITED ROOSEVELT
Former Governor Of New York Tells
OF Conference Of Railway King
and President.

Limited Press Leased Wire Seryice]
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-E. H.
Hartman, the late railroad king, who
helped the republican campaign in
New York state in 1904, and Harri-
mans conferences during that year
with President Roosevelt, figured in
testimony given to the senate cam
paign contribution investigating COM
mittee today by former Governor o.
Dell of New York and in 1904 chair
man OF the state central committee.
O'Dell prefaced his information with
the declaration that all records Of the
finances of the state campaign that
year had been destroyed.
1T was customary in those days"
he explained.
The witness explained that in 1904
the state committee collected 100000
outside the national committees as
signment OF 100000 for their work. o.
Dell was asked if his attention had
ever been called to a letter purport-
ing to have been written by Hartman
to Sydney Webster in 1906 in which
Hartman was said to have stated that
in 1904 President Roosevelt had sent
request for him to come to Washing
ton.
Il have seen the letter. the witness
answered.
DO you know anything outside Of
what appears in it?" asked Senator
Clapp.
81 do" said o'Dell. EARLY In Oc-
tober, 1904 l was invited by Mr.. Har-
riman to lunch with him. l accepted.
and during the luncheon he showed
me letter from President Roosevelt
asking him to come to Washington.
We had some conversation as to why
the president wanted to see Harri-
man. told Hartman that in my
opinion the president wanted to ask
him as to political conditions in New
York and consult him as to the finan.
cial situation.
Mr.. Hartman came to Washington
and saw Colonel Roosevelt A few
days later, / had breakfast with Har-
riman and he told me l was correct
in my opinion as to the conference. 1t
was shown in that conference that
the president was uneasy concerning
the state ticket in New York"
Continuing o'Dell said that the ma
tional committee had advised him OF
its inability to raise even 100000 of
the 100000 promised the New York
state committee for the campaign.
Then it was that Hartman was called
upon and he raised fund of $4,000
which he turned lover to Treasurer
Bliss, of the national committee. Bliss,
O'Dell said, gave the state committee
a check for 100000 of this fund.
This money the witness said
was used to carry out agreements
had made with county chairmen and
$500 district workers to furnish
money as needed in the campaign
About 100000 was used to make a
canvass of New York city and $50, 600
for manning the polls for registration
