tributors that Year
:, P. TAFT LEADS

Washington, d. Postmaster
General Hitchcock, who managed
the campaign of 1908 for the repnn-
cans, told the Senate investigating
committee today that the total con-
tributions for the 1908 campaign
amounted to $1,651,9 ,967. or this
amount $620,150 was collected by
the finance committee of the nation
a.! organization, while in the state
campaigns the amount OF $1,035,36S
was devoted to the national ticket.
Among the big contributors to this
fund, Hitchcock stated, were the
following:
Charles p. Taft, $4,000; VIM.
Cromwell, $25, 900; Nlr. and Mrs.
Lars Anderson, $25. 600; Andrew
Carnegie, 100000; VIM. Smith
Cochran, $4,000; and Whitelaw
Held and w. }. Boardman, $40. 900
each.
No Corporations Gave.
We received very few large con-
tributions during the campaign" said
Hitchcock, "and think there were
not more than rs or 80 as high as
$4,000. 1t was necessary to have
funds at the beginning of the cam
palgn and so we accepted those lib
eral contributions"
Hitchcock surprised the committee
by declaring in answer to question
by Senator Clapp that complete rec
ords of the campaign were at its dis
posel. There books, he said, gave the
name of every contributor in the
1908 campaign and the amount Civ
en-.
There were further records, he
said, accounting for every dollar OF
expenditure. These will be delivered
to the committee.
Large additions were made to the
general war fund.- by sending let
ters to $4,000 men of means in all
parts of the country asking such of
them to contribute $50. This plan
produced contributions amounting
to between 100000 and 100000
Hitchcock said.
Were any contributions made by
corporations" asked Senator Paynt-
er.
There were none," Hitchcock ans
wered. Congress passed law in
1907 prohibiting the acceptance of
contributions from corporations"

This Will Follow the
Murder of Herman

WALDO IS ANGRY
Resents Charge of Conspiracy
Between the Police and
Gamblers

New York City-With an open
feud existing between District Attor-
new Whitman and the police au-
thorities, developments of a sensa-
tlonal nature are expected today,
following the murded early yester-
day of Herman Rosenthal, promin-
ent gambler. who had made an affi-
davit that the police were in collu-
sion with q number of gamblers.
Whitman openly charges that
Rosenthal was killed because he gave
evidence against the conspiracy be-
tween the gamblers and the police.
The arrest of high police officials
for black-mailing Rosenthal is eX-
pected.
Police Commissioner Waldo issued
a hot letter today to District Attor-
ney Whitman, demanding that he
either prove that the policemen have
been in collusion with gamblers, or
retract his statement.
Waldo declares the police have
beer hampered in the work of stop
ping gambling because the district
attorneys office has not insisted
upon heavier sentence for the men
convicted.

MRS. MORROW TAKES
the WITNESS STAND
CHICAGO WOMAN ACCUSED OF
KILLING HUSBAND SAYS
HE THRICE ATTEMPT

Chicago.-Mrs. Charles Morrow
on trial for numbering her husband,
was on the stand in her own behalf
again today and was subjected to a
severe cross-eXamination by the
state.
Mrs. Rena B. Morrow, charged
With the murder of her husband.
Charles B. Morrow. inventor, late
yesterday took the witness stand in
her own behalf. She appeared ner-
vous and began her story in a falter-
ing voice.
Mrs. Morrow said the first she
knew of her husbands death was on
the morning of December 2s, when
his body was found on the rear
porch of their home.
My husband attempted to COM
nut suicide three times" said Mrs.
Morrow. "Once was with gas, and
saved his life by going to his room
and turning off the gas myself The
next time was later when he again
turned on the gas and rescued him.
L nursed him for nearly month be-
lore he was we'll. The third time he
tried to shoot himself and took the
revolver away from him. He occu-
pied room on different floor from
mine, because he desired to sleep
near his workroom.
my husband did not make much
money and for that reason l took

Mrs. Morrow identified the re-
volver as her husbands.
She admitted having had a dis
pute with her husband the night he
was shot.
Il loved my husband and there
was nothing insurmountablc that
ever came between us" said Mrs.
Morrow dramatically, at the close of
her direct examination.
The defense promises to spring a
surprise by calling to the stand a
woman who is said to have been on
the sidewalk near the Morrow home
at the time the shots we're fired. 1t
is said she will testify she was knock
ed down by a tall man who ran out
from the rear of the Morrow flat
immediately after the firing of the
shots.

REVOLVING DETAILS OF
THE CONNERS MURDER
NATHAN SWARTZ REPEATEDLY
STABBED YOUNG GIRL HE
LEFT AS DEAD in
EMPTY BOX.

New York City,-A formal indict-
ment was returned today against
Nathan Swartz, whose father says
he confessed to the murder of 12-
year-old Julia Corners before he dis
appeared. The police say they have
a clue and expect to arrest Swartz.
They do not credit the story of the
boys father that he committed sui.
eide.
New York City.-Horrifying de-
tails of the murder of JULIA Connors
were told to the grand jury late yes
terday. Two relatives of Nathan
Swartz, his father and sister, Mrs.
Francis Alexander, admitted that he
murdered the child. At the conclus-
ion of the hearing an indictment
was voted against the youth.
One of the most revolving features
|of Mrs. AleXander's narrative was her
assertion that the child was jammed
in box after being stabbed more
than 40 times by Swartz and that
she remained alive in the box
throughout the night. Mrs. Alexan-
der's repitition of the story she said
her brother told was detailed, expli-
cit and telling in it's revelation of
horror. According to Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Kent, she told the jury
that her brother said he had met
Julia Connors on Saturday night and
asked her to get pair of opera
glasses at her home, which was just
across the hall from the vacant flats
where the murder was committed.
The young man said that he followed
the girl and at the top of the stairs
pushed her into the vacant flat and
attempted to assault her.
The olild screamed, according to
the story of Mrs. Alexander, and
Swartz plugged his pocketknife into
her. AS she continued to scream he
stabbed again and again until she
finally fell. Then he plugged the
knife into her breast and Julia re-
NAMED still.
Then Nathan went to his own
home and procured the box in which
the body was found. He placed the
still living child in the box after
cutting her hair, put the box on
the dun watch and let it slide TO the
cellar, where he hid it. Early the
next morning, Sunday, he took the
girl, still alive, into the lot where
she was found later.
Mrs. Alexander said she put the
youth put of her house when she
heard the tale. He then went to hi,
] fathers place of business, where h,

TO SHOW THAT TAFT

SENATOR BAILEY OF TENAS
WOULD THUS COMBAT RI OOSE-
VEDT'S CLAIM TO THE
VICTORY.

Washington, ID. C,-The Senate in-
directly rebuked President Taft foi
his course in connection with t..
Lorimer case. Once blocked from q
vote by the Archibald Impeachment
proceedings, resolution, battle-scar-
red in a protracted bitter debate, fin
ally was adopted, 33 to 23, denounc-
ing ANY attempt on the part of a
president to exercise his office to in
huence vote on questions within
the Senate's exclusive jurisdiction"
The resolution was originally franz
ed by Senator Bailey who had arraign
ed President Taft, asserting that he
had been "officious and n1etldlesome'
in endeavoring to line up regular re-
publican senators in the Lorimer
case.
The resolution asyadopted. read:
Resolved, That any att empt on
the part OF a president of THE United
States to exercise the power and in
iiuence Of his great office for the pur-
pose of controlling the vote OF any
senator upon a question involving a
right to a seat in the senate or upon
any other matter within the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Senate would
violate the spirit if not the letter of
the constitution and invade the rights
of the Senate
Washington, d. c. C-Senator Bail
ey of Texas is to bare to the country
the part played by President Taft in
connection with the ousting of Will
liam Lorimer from tae United States
senate.
Mr.. Bailey will not take this act
ion because of any love either for
Col. Roosevelt or for Woodrow Will
son, whose nomination he violently
opposed both in his own state and at
Baltimore.
Mr.. Bailey is inspired by a desire
to show the country that the presid-
ent really does deserve credit for
| Lorimer's ousting. Through the Wit
rlolic attack he proposes to make
upon the chief executive he intends
to answer Col. Roosevelts charge
that Mr.. Taft is entitled to little
credit for the action OF the senate
parsicuiarls S,, e,ane an aAa fenrose. stG that At
1 it is necessary for Mr.. Taft's interest
TO demonstrate that the president
was exceedingly active and that it
was his interference which finally
forced the conviction of a good man,
whose cause the Texan senator al
ways has supported loyalty.
AS preliminary to his speech, Mr.
Bailey introduced the following reso-
luton:
Whereas, The constitution of the
United States makes the senate the
sole judge of elections, returns, and
qualifications of it's members; and
Whereas, Every senator is. re.
quired by his oath of office to decide
all such cases according to the law
and the testimony before him; be it
Resolved, That any attempt Oh
the part of the president of the Unit
ed States to exercise the powers and
influence of his great office for the
purpose of controlling the vote OF
any senator upon a question involv-
ing the right to a seat in the senate
violates the spirit if not the letter OF
the constitution, invades the rights
of the senate, and ought to be severe.

wounded a white policeman and was
slain by policemen after siege in
which gasoline was used to burn

After the shooting, Harris took re-
fuge in the house where he lived
and barricaded the doors and Win
dows. Being plentifully supplied with
cartridges, he kept a large force of
policemen at bay and was dislodged
only after being smoked out of one
room. The house was then set on fire
with gasoline. When he made dash

COMPROMISE PROPOSED BY
REPUBLICANS IN ILLINOIS

Chicago.-Supporte of Colonel
Roosevelt in Illinois today issued Il
call for state convention to be held
in Chicago August 8 to elect delegat-
es to the third party national conven-
ton in Chicago, August 5. The dele
gates to the state convention are TO
be selected at mass meetings by
wardes and counties on July u. The
call does not provide specifically for
full state ticket.
A resolution was adopted calling
on Gov. Dennen and other candidates
for state offices to indicate whether
they would support Col. Roosevelt
or President Taft. A committee is to
wait on Gov. Deneen and give his
answer to the public" on July %.
Several names were Withdrawn
from the call because it did not pro-
vide specifically for a full state tick
ct, but only for a national ticket.
Chicago peace in
nois-threatened by the possibil-
ity of two complete national, state,
and Cook county tickets, backed res
pectively by the Roosevelt and Taft
forces-hove into sight last night
and may be realized today.
The cornerstone of the agreement,
which may be reached between the
representatives of the regular repub-
lcan state organization and OF the
Roosevelt progressive leaders, is an
arrangement whereby the names OF
both Taft and Roosevelt would be
placed on the regular official ballot
in November under the republican
caption, with square in front of
each name.
The twenty-nine republican elect
ors already named by the regular
state and congressional district con-
ventions would be pledged to vote
in the electoral college for the candi-
date-either the president or the col
onel-who received the majority OF
the ballots marked as to their presi-
Dental preference. The republican
voters OF the state in November de-
eide.
AS one OF the terms OF the agree
ment, no third state ticket would be
placed in the field by the Roosevelt
progressives. Also, no third county
ticket in Cook county would be plac-
ed in the running against the reSul-
arly nominated ticket which had the
backing of the committee of 100 and
OF the regular republican organlza-
ton.
1t would mean, it is realized, mn
mediate reopenins OF the direct lIgat
in the state between Taft and Iioose-
welt.
