Senator Reed. Of Missouri. and Senator
William. OF Mississippi.
The way In which they acted caused
Senator Poindexter. Of Washington. to
charge that Q peculiar combination
Of interests seems to be backing up the
Penrose resolution"
by Coordination Of interests" he ex-
planed. he meant the way in which
Senator Psorose. republican. and
Senators Reed and Williams, demo-
Gratis. were working in harmony and
In conjunction for the apparent pur-
pose Of casting aspersions upon the
presidential candidate OF the progress
sive party. Unquestionably, this Is the
purpose Of the representatives of both
parties.
SO far al the Penrose charge that
$3.O00.0O0 was spent In getting the re-
publican nomination last June for
Colonel Roosevelt is concerned. those
who have inside knowledge OF the
amount expended say it Is absolutely
false.
With respect to the charge that an
attempt was made to purchase colored
delegates at any price, that, too. Is de-
nounced as malicious and untrue. The
correspondence between Congressman
Mckinley and Delegate Banks OF Mis-
sissippi Is referred to as proof OF wha'
the Taft camp was doing.
Senator Bristow said last night the
investigation Of the financial aflairs
Of the republican national committee
in which the sub committee OF the
committee on privileges and elections
is to engage. IS sure to strengthen
Colonel Roosevelt with the people.
"Roosevelt's attitude towards the
criminal trusts" he continued, is en-
phasized by the fact that Archbold ana
other representatives Of those illegal
combinations now are putting forth ev-
cry effort to discredit him."
The decision to summon Mr.. Arch
bold to appear before the senate COM
mittee today was made by Senator
Clapp early in the day before the in
terrosation Of Senator Penrose by SEN
ator Reed began.
Senator Ctapp got into communica-
ticn with Mr.. Archbold in New York
by long distance telephone and the
Standard OIL official agreed to appear.
Senator Pomerene Of Ohio was desig-
mated to sit as the democratic mem
Der Of the special committee until the
return Of either Senator Lea or Sen
ator PAINTER.
The debate between Senators Reed
and Penrose was marked by the readi-
ness with which the latter replied to
Senator Reeds questions.
Early in the afternoon the two SEN
ators with Senator Smith Of Maryland
had held a. short conference in one OF
the rooms adjoining the senate cham

SENATE RUsHEs BUSINESS.
Several Important Bills Put Thru.
May Ad journ Saturday.


Washington. Aug 23-With a celer-
ity that hitherto has not marked the
session. congress rushed toward COM
pletion four great supply bills and
looks forwards confidently to adjourn
ment on Saturday. Conferees on the
sundry. civil, Indian. army and the
postoffice appropriation measures
reached agreements on those bills The
/ Legislative. Indian and sundry civil
. measures were passed by the senate
and the general deficiency bill. the last
Of the big supply measures to be taken
up. was reported in the senate and the
ways creased for Its consideration. The
house took no action on appropriation
legislation further than to order all Of
the conference reports printed In the
record so that prompt action could be
had today. Unlike the senate's quick
work. by which the three bills passed
were rushed thru In less than ten min
utes. the house expected to develop
sharp clashes on both the sundry civil
and the Indian bills when they are re-
ported. Leaders on both sides, how
ever. did not regard these difficulties
last night rs being unreconciliab bic and
before adjournment tonight, 1t is be-
lieved the legislative dockets will be
comparatively clear. A fight developed
in the senate on the army bill. over
the proposed seven year term OF en-
listment. The army measure and the
postoffice appropriation bills were
finally carried over until today's ses-
sion.
Radical changes in the postal SER
vice were provided for by the house
and senate conferees on the postoffice
bill.
The Bourne parcel post system was
adopted for the present. including the
Oregon senator's ideas as to zones
distances and rates. The postmaster
general. however. was empowered.
with the consent of the interstate
commerce commission to change the
rates. zones and articles admitted to
the post at any time. A joint COM
mittee Of six was authorized to study
the working Of the system.
The Simmons good roads provision
was adopted. This appropriates
$4,000 for experimental road con-
struction. with a joint committee to
study the proposition.
The senate provision, requiring
newspapers to publish semi l-annually
a list Of stockholders. was adorl>d.
and another daily newspaper to print
a staement Of tbs average daily cir
cuiat!on.
The house eight-hour labor pro-
gram was agreed to. together with
the clause for the payment for over
time work in cash. The senate
amendment to allow employees to join
associations was adopted. The pro-
vision authorizing transfer Of en-
ployes from one service to another
was stricken out Of the bill.
AS agreed to the bill contains no
reference to the blue tag" sytem OF
transporting second class mail. except
clause prohibiting the extension OF
the system and another authorizing
joint committee to Investigate the sub
ject. In connection with study OF
to railways for carry
ing the mail.
"A maximum salary Of $1.10o was
fixed for rural carriers.

more than coincidence" in the ap-
pearance Of adverse governmental re-
ports "every' time we were concerned
in litigation in the courts or every
time legislation appeared here in
Washington in which we were inter-
ested."
These reports Of Garfield and Smith
were the work Of mere puppets who
jumped when Roosevelt pulled the
strings" declared Mr. Archbold.
Senator Pomerene asked Mr.. Arch
bold IL he thought refusal Of the
Standard OH Company to make sec
ond contribution had anything to do
with the so-called unjust investiga-
ton
"Well." said Mr.. Archbold, and then
he stopped to bite his lips. Il don't
know"
Thinks Company Was Punished.
Senator Pomerene insisted on know
ing what passed between Mr.. Arch
bold and Mr. Bliss at the conversation
when the Roosevelt Investigations were
discussed.
II suppose Mr.. Bliss probably ex-
pressed his opinion that 1t would not
have been thus Il we had done as he
had wished, and I have no doubt what
ever on that question myself"
"Do you know whether Mr.. Bliss re-
ported to Mr.. Roosevelt that you had
declined to make further contribu-
tion," asked Senator Pomerene.
II assume. Of course. that 1t was so
reported. do not know in what shape
the report was made but 1t undoubt-
edly was made" said Archbold.
May Call Roosevelt.
Mr. Archibald, referring to a maga-
zine article said letter reported to be
his, in which he mentioned $4,000 sent
to Penrose. seemed to be forgery.
When Mr.. Archibald finished his tes-
tinony several members of the COM
mittee conferred over the advisability
of inviting Colonel Roosevelt to testify.
Mr.. Penrose wants the committee to
subpoena the colonel.
Somebody Lied.
Mr.. Archbald's testimony. however,
was regarded with such importance
that it was determined to call William
Rockefeller II his health will permit.
and to recall George B. Cortelyou. re-
publican national chairman in 1904.
who appeared before the committee
July II and could not recall that any
contributions from corporations were
used in the Roosevelt campaign. Mr..
Corte.you also testified at that time he
never heard Of a contribution by Arch
bald or any one ''on his behaalf.
When Mr.. Archibald was excused it
was announced that SefIator Penrose
would take the stand late today.

Dixon Saws Story 10 q Lie.


Chicago, Aug. 23.-The charge made
in. the United states senate yesterday
by Senator Penrose that a $4,000 600
fund was raised and used in the pri-
mary campaign Of Col. Roosevelt last
spring was denounced rs utterly false
last night by Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon.
director in chief Of the progressive
party fight. Senator Dixon was also
In charge Of Col. Roosevelt's fight last
spring previous to the republican ma
tional convention.
Brimful Of enthusiasm and confident
the Roosevelt-J johnson ticket will
sweep the country in November. the
Montana senator reached the Chicago
headquarters in the Hotel La Sale in
the morning. His arrival started in
earnest the coloners battle in the west.
IT had looked upon the assertion that
we spent millions in the prec0nvention
contest as q Joke" Senator Dixon said
last night, until found that the news
papers in most sections had taken It
seriously. Now I see Senator Penrose
repeats 1t. I propose to nail this can
ard, as ridiculous as 1t Is, at once. I
was in charge Of the Washington head
quarters. We spent there approximate
ly $160.OO0 The last tabulation was
$155,OOO. I put it at $160.000 because
there may have been few thousand
spent at the tail end. I want to be
outside the limit.
1--WE financed the entire campaign,
excepting in New York. Massachusetts,.
Pennsylvania. and Illinois. Those
states were handled by local commit
tees. We did not pay all of Col. Roose-
velt's special train expenses. We did
pay part.
Il can not speak accurately now as to
the expenditures in Ohio. Pennsylvania,
Illinois and Massachusetts, but do
know the sums alleged to have been
spent were grossly exaggerated"

Nominate Roosevelt at Chicago.
Washington. Aug. %. = Senator
Boise Penrose of Pennsylvania charged
in the senate yesterday that a fund OF
$3.000.000 was underwritten by George
w. Perkins and his associates last win
ter and spring to nominate Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt at the republican ma
tional convention last June.
The senator alleged further that the
Roosevelt men in Chicago had endeav-
ored to purchase colored delegates for
$1,000 a head.
These astonishing charges. which
Mr. Penhose said will be backed up by
proof. will be Investigated by the sub
committee Of the privileges and elec-
tions committee which is investigating
expenditures in recent campaigns.
Penrose will be sworn as a witness.
John d. Archbold. of the Standard
OIL Company. from which Penrose ad-
mits he received $4,000 in 1904. was
summoned yesterday afternoon by tel
ephone to appear before the sub-com-
mittee at $3.50 o'clock this morning.
Other witnesses will be placed on the
stand to corroborate or disprove the
Penrose charges.
Senator Penrose also said in his
speech yesterday that the Missouri Pa
cific and the Southern Pacific rail-
road each contributed heavily to the
Roosevelt 1904 fund. The amount Of
each contribution, he said, he UNDER
stood was 100000.
Mr.. Penrose also alleged that he
had been informed" that Colonel
Roosevelt's letter to George B. Cortel-
you. chairman Of the republican ma
tional committee. was sent ito make a
record for future reference" This was
the letter given out by Colonel Roose-
welt in Wilkesbarre Wednesday night
and written by him on Oct. rs. 1904.
It warned George B. Cortelyou against
accepting any contribution from tho
Standard OIL Company and instructed
him to return any money that might
have been paid into the national com-
mittee treasury from that source.
Senator Penrose charged in effect
that Colonel Roosevelt knew when he
dictated this letter that the 100000
contributed by the Standard OIL Com
pany had been spent and could not be
returned.
1t was apparent from what occurred
In the senate yesterday afternoon that
Mr.. Penrose Is. engaged in an effort to
make the country forget these two i'm.
portant facts:
That in 1901 he received letter from,
Mr.. Archbold approving the report OF
the federal industrial commission. Of
which, by the way William Lorimer
was a signatory. this before the sub
mission Of the report to congress.
That he personally received $500
from Mr.. Archbold in October, 1904.
Mr.. Penrose has made an explana-
tion of his action IN laying the conc-
report before Mr.. Archbold.
He did not do so Thursday nor again
He admitted under cross
Of other senators that the
published letter from Mr.. Archboid to
himself transmitting the check may
or may not be genuine" He declined
to commit himself on that point. Yes
