TAFT FAMILY GAVE
S15O,OOO TO THE FUND
PRIOR CONVENTION

Washington, Oct 9.-The sum OF
$265,000 collected and spent in the
campaign for President Taft's renomi-
nation through his Washington head
quarters was partially accounted for
by Representative William B. McKin-
ley of Illinois, the presidents cam
paign manager, in testimony before
the senate investigating committee.
Mr.. Mckinley said the Taft fam
fly" comprising Charles P. Taft, Henry
w. Taft and Horace Taft, brothers Of
the president, gave $150,OOO.
when we started out we expected
to spend about $5O,OOO," he told the
committee
The other chief contributors to the
Taft fund, with the respective amounts
as given by Mr.. Mckinley, were: John
Hayes Hammond, $25,O00; Andrew
Carnegie, $4,000; E. T. Stotesbury,
Philadelphia, $4,000; Mr.. Kelsey and
Mr. Patton of New York, described as
friends of the president $4,000;
Richard Kerens, st. Louis, ambassa-
dor to Austria Hungary, $4,000; Sena-
tor w. Murray Crane, $4,000; Secre-
tary Knox, $4,000; Attorney General
Wickersham, $1,000; former Senator
Nathan B. Scott, $1,000; A. G. James,
$1,000.
Mr. McKinleys records were read
from small penciled memoranda
which he dug out of his pocket. He
told the committee they were all he
had to show for the handling of the
fund, except books kept in the head
quarters that covered $134,000 spent
directly for ordinary campaign pur-
poses. Mr.. Mckinley declared his
memory was not good enough to re-
call all the purposes for which money
went out.
81 always thought l had a good
memory until l got into that mixup,"
he explained, "but l saw new man
every five minutes in that whirl."
Mr. Mckinley said he did not know
the total amount that had been spent
for President Taft in the entire cam
paign.
The amounts given by the respec-
tive members of the Taft family were
not furnished by Mr.. Mckinley, nor
did the committee ask for further par
ticulars.
Mckinley Sharply Questioned.
Mr.. Mckinley, though sharply ques-
toned by members of the committee,
could give no information as to the
Taft funds raised in the different
states. The balance of the fund for
which he had no records had "dripped
out" in the different state campaigns,
he said.
The contributions to state cam
paigns by the Taft national headquar-
ters were given as follows: West
Virginia, $4,000; Maryland, $4,000 to
$4,000; Ohio, $20,OO0;. Illinois, SIS, 900;
Maine, $4,000; Texas, $4,000; Indiana,
$4,000; Iowa, $4,000; Kansas, $4,000;
Kentucky, $4,000.
Mr.. Mckinley and Ormsby McHarg,
the latter contest manager for Colonel
Roosevelt in the primary fight, held
the witness stand throughout the af-
ternoon Mr.. McHarg accounted for
the expenditure of $4,000 or 100000
