.ROOSEvELT'S ANSWER
WILL Be BY LETTER
U. s. SENATE COMMITTEE UN-
ABLE TO HEAR COLONEL ON
CAMPAIGN ExPEND1-
TUREs.

Washington, D.. c., Aug. 25.-s
Colonel Roosevelt will not have an
opportunity to answer John D.
Archbald's statements before the
senate committee investigating the
campaign expenditures, until late
in September Senator Clapp, chair
man of the subcommittee before
which Archbold told his story of
having contributed 100000 to the
Roosevelt fund in 1904, telegrapheds
Roosevelt at 4 o'clock this morning
the committee would not be able to
hear him Monday as the colonel de-
sired.
The committee undoubtedly will
proceed late in September with the
investigation, though the Pomerene
resolution for additional authority
will not be passed by the senate to-
morrow.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 25.-Hav
ing failed to obtain a hearing be-.
fore the senate committee investi-
eating campaign contributions be-
cause of the inability of the COM
mittee to get together tomorrow,
Colonel Roosevelt plans to write the
committee letter embodying some
of the things which he would have
testified, he declared in statement
in which he also took the commit
tee to task for permitting John D..
Archbold to sail for Europe without
telling more about the $4,000 he
contributed to the Republican. cam
paign in Pennsylvania in 1904.
Inasmuch as he will not be ques-
toned, he plans to confine himself
chiefly to letter of contradiction of
the testimony rof John d. Archbold,
in which Archbold said he was as
sured Colonel Roosevelt knew of
and appreciated the 100000 con-
tributionS which Archbold 4 testified
was made In. 1904 to the, Republican
campaign.
The letter will be long. Roose-
velt expects to spend pretty much
all of tomorrow working upon it and
is not sure it will be finished tomor-
row night. He probably will touch
lightly upon the primary campaign
Of 1912. It is reasonably sure he
will devote considerable space to
his relations to Senator Penrose
while president. Colonel Roosevelt
said he had seen Cortelyou, the Re-
publican national chairman of 1904.
'tMr. Cortelyou tells me he never
heard Archbold's name mentioned
in connection with contribution by
Bliss Roosevelt said, "and as re-
CARDS himself, whole story is fab
rication out of whole cloth as, of
course, it is about me-"

DEATH OF COLONEL BALL
FROM PARALYTIC STROKE
Pioneer Fargoan Passed
Away Tuesday. Leading North
Dakota Attorney.

Colonel Wilbur Ball, Fargo pio-
neer and one of the most prominent
attorneys of the North Dakota bar,
died at his home, 623 Eighth street
south, Fargo, at noon Tuesday. Col
onel Ball was in his sixth-ninth
year. His death was due to SER
les of paralytic strokes, the first
coming more than a year ago and a
third being the direct cause of
death.
Colonel Ball has long been known
as one of the most influential men
in the state. He held several posi-.
tions of responsibility and trust,
among them being the position of
assistant counsel for the Northern
Pacific railroad and, a dictatorship
IN the Merchants bank at Fargo.
Colonel Ball was a thirty-second de-
gree Mason, member of the G. A.
R., and of the Odd Fellows. ;
Self educated and forced to earn
his own living at the age of -
years, Colonel Balls life has been
one of perseverance. In his early
life he was a newspaper man but
later devoted all his attention to
law. His financial success was due
entirely to his own unceasing efforts
to climb to position of respect and
responsibility. ~
Colonel Ball was born in Pennsyl-
vania, of English parentage. His
family is closely connected with ear
ly American history, members being
engaged in the Revolutionary war,
Mary Ball, the mother of George
Washington, being a member of the
same family. AS a lad Colonel Ball
worked for newspapers in Washing
ton and elsewhere in the east.
When the Civil war began he en-
listed in an Ohio regiment but was
rejected because of his youth. Later
lie again volunteered his services to
his country and was accepted. He
was injured early in the war and
was discharged.
During the last year of the war,
Colonel Ball was brakeman on
eastern railroads, but in 1866 began
the study of law in an Office in On
tonagan, Mich, and later went to
Eagle River. From Michigan he
went to Minnesota and conducted
newspapers in Ottertail county and
Detroit. In 1873 he removed to
Fargo, which has been his home
since.
In 1881 Colonel Ball was elected
district attorney for the Third Judi
cial district comprising the terri
tory which is now the state Of North
Dakota. He was one Of the build.
ers Of the Fargo Southern railroad
and has been interested in many Inn
portant enterprises.
In 1865 Colonel Ball was married
to Miss A. Merriweather, Michigan
girl. Mrs. Ball died three years
ago. Four children were born to
them and three survive. One dadgh-
ter is Mrs. g. "A. Wheelock, and the
two SONS are W. NJ. Ball Of Fargo
and ]. q. Ball oe st. Paul. MINI.
Funeral services will be held.
Thursday afternoon at 2:3o O'clock
