tor. He produced three letters which. ne
said. constituted all his written communi-
cations with Senator Penrose during 1904.
as far as he was able to find out.
Letters Put in Record.
Two of these letters were put In the
record. One was under date OF Septem-
her %. 1904, and the other Of June q.
1904. and both concerned the making OF
appointments for meetings between Arch
bold and Penrose.
Mr.. Archbold could not recall the OBJ
ject OF these meetings.
Just before the convention suggested
Senator Jones, when the June letter was
read.
The third letter was not put in the rec
ord, at Mr.. Archbold's request. Each OF
the senator's read 1t. however. Mr.. Arch
bold explained that he had sent similar
Roosevelt himself; and that the COM
munication related to the appointment
of his brother, an army man. Later ne
said, President Roosevelt made the ap-
pointment he desired.
Senator Pomerene cross-examined Mr..
Archbold in regard to meeting Senators
Dick and Scott in New York. Mr.. Arch
bold said that the meeting must have
been merely casual.
Scott and Elkins. too. were both in
West Virginia" said Mr.. Archbold. with
enough republicans to turn the tide from
the democracy to the republican party
in that state"
Not for Personal Services.
Senator Oliver took the witness In
charge. He drew from Mr.. Archbold the
statement that the $4,000 given to Sen
ator Penrose was a political contribution
and not for personal service in private
or public life.
Senator Oliver insisted on knowing
whether Chairman George B. Cortelyou
OF the republican national committee had
any dealings with Mr.. Archbold in re-
gard to the contribution. Finally Mr.
Archbold said:
| IF you insist. I must tell you thai
when the question Of the second contri
button came up Mr.. Bliss said he desired
/ Mr.. Cortelyou meet me for further pres
| entation OF the matter of a contribution

me to tell you that anything I said was
said for him, and that 1 could say what
was desired as Well as he
Senator Jones tried TO pin Mr.. Archbold
down to a statement as to whether ne
knew that Col Roosevelt knew of the
first contribution of 100000 made by the
Standard Oil Company Mr.. Archbold
finally said that Mr.. Bliss had Informed
him that Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Cortel-
YOU were both cognizant of the condition
on which his contribution had been made.
Hartman Contribution.
Senator Jones took up the quarter-mil-
lion-dollar contribution alleged to have
been collected for the Roosevelt fund by
the late E. II. Hartman in the financial
district Of New York. He asked Mr..
Archbold II he had talked to any one
about that matter.
II talked to Mr.. Rogers about the Har-
riman contribution" said Mr.. Archbold.
HE thought the Hartman contribution
was made as Hartman said 1t was made.
He claimed to know Of the making up
Of the contribution"
Mr. Archbold said he also talked to
Hartman himself about the contribution.
that Hartman had insisted 1t had been
made as requested.
Ibid you ever receive a letter from Col.
Roosevelt thanking you for your contri-
butfOn!' asked senator JONES'
mo; before he came to that he had de-
cided on another course, according to the
correspondence as published-that is. the
alleged letter written by Roosevelt to
Cortelyou," said Archbold.
Mr. Archbold said that the outrage

cussed at length the prosecutions OF the
Standard Oil Company during the Roose-
Welt administration and referred particu-
larly, when questioned by Senator Pom
creme, to a case In Buffalo, X. He
said that the Buffalo district attorney
notified the Washington officials tina,
there was no merit in the case to justify
indictments.
II am told" he said. that the WORD
that went back from Washington was

ment'"
Visit to Roosevelt.
Mr.. Archbold told of visiting President
Roosevelt at the White House some time
later, in company with the late II. II
Rogers.

that there had been some criticism OF
campaign contributions, but that tnat
could not be avoided
Mr. Archbold said that this was about
the time of the exposures in the insur-
ance investigation in New York.
Senator Penrose, who had followed the
testimony Of Archbold with careful at
tention. interrupted to ask:
Can you say whether this SlOo,OOo con-
tribution was ever returned or any sug-
gestion made that it should be returned?'
NO" answered Archbold, no such sug-
gestion was ever made to me.
Senator Penrose requested that Mr.
Archbold be instructed by the committee
to search his Office files for all docu-
mentary evidence bearing on the case.
particularly for the receipt which he had
said he received from Mr.. Bliss for the
500 600 contribution. He also requested
that Mr.. Archbold request his associates
who were present at the board meeting
which considered the contribution ques-
ton in 1904 to hold themselves at the dis
posal of the committee.
Seemed to Be Forgery.
Senator Clapp took up the examination
Of the witness and produced magazine
article containing a series Of letters pur-
porting to have been written by Archbold
to Senator Penrose.
Mr. Archbol6 declared that the letter
which mentioned $2o,OOO sent to PenrOSe
seemed to be a forgery.
1.-The signature Is very unlike my own, !"
he said.
Mr.. Archbold admitted that he might
have written several of the other letters,
but that he had no recollection of them.
Identifies Telegram.
Senator Penrose had Mr.. Archbold
identify as correct the kilograms which
Senator Penrose had inserted in his
speech before the Senate as showing
that William Finn had sought to get
Mr.. Archbolds influence in the sena-
torial contest in Pennsylvania on the
death of Senator Quay.
Mr.. Archbold declared he took no part
in the election and had never particf-
pated in a senatorial election except in
simple, individual way"
The committee discussed examining
Mr.. Archbold in regard to letters pub
lished in a recent number of the maya
zine under discussion, without an
nouncing its decision. Senator Clapp
excused Mr.. Archbold from further
testifying on condition that he would
be subject to being recalled In October
after his return from abroad.

said Mr.. Archbold. IT said to Mr.. Bliss
that we did not want to make the contrl-
button unless it would be gratefully re-
ceived."
Did you have any misgfvings as to
this, at that timer
There had been some talk about ob1ec-
lions to contributions from certain
sources" said Mr.. Archbold.

tribution had been made known to Presi-
dent Roosevelt?'

through my conferences with HIM.
Just what did he say" asked Senator
Pom creme
He said: You need have no missfving.
In that matter. l will represent you and
l will see that 1t is properly Known.
Mr. Archbold again said the payment
of the contribution had been made in cur
rency and Senator Pomerene wanted to
know why.

Publicity Not Wanted.

The Standard OH man smiled and re-
piled: Il don't suppose there was any
desire on the part OF either Of US for pub
licity.''
Senator Pomerene then took up the
visit Of Mr. Bliss to % Broadway. when
further contributions. according to Mr..
Archbold, were asked from the Standard
Oil.
"At later time Mr.. Bliss came to my
Office" said Mr.. Archbold: "he said: j
have come to you again on the money
question: He pointed out the situation
In the campaign and the need for further
funds l said 1 thought we had done
pretty literally. Finally ! told him that
I could not decide the matter, but that
would lay 1t before my board"
WAS there anything in that CONVEX
sation to indicate that Col Roosevelt
knew Of your contribution? asked
Senator Pomerene.
Yes. he gave me to understand that
our contribution had been acceptable
and that further contributions would
be acceptable to Col Roosevelt"

Mentioned $3.50, 900.

Mr.. Archbold said that on this occa-
sion Mr.. Bliss mentioned $4,000 as
the amount necessary. He said he laid
the matter before the board and re-
ported that he had impressed upon
Mr.. Bliss the desire Of the Standard
Oil officials that these contributions
should not be received unless they
were acceptable to Col. Roosevelt.
He said the board decided to stand
upon what they had DONE" and make
no further contributions.
Senator Pomefene asked: did you
regard Mr. Bliss as q man Of veracity
and integrity: and when he told you
that he had told Col. Roosevelt OF this
matter, had you any reason to doubt
him."
None in the world" said Mr.. Arch
bold
"When you told Bliss that the board
would do no more. what did he say:'
asked Senator Pomerene.
He said that it was a mistake.
answered Archbold. He said: I speak to
you personally. think you had better
make this contribution. II you don't.
somebody else will, and I think you will
be making a mistake He put it on per-
sonal grounds, and mentioned his friend
ship for me toward the end"
Did Mr.. Bliss ever tell you that Col.
Roosevelt was grateful to you for not
making this further contribution" asked
Senator Pomerene, with a smile.
NO." returned Archbold

a report to Mr.. Roosevelt that you had
declined further contribution asked
Senator Pomerene.
II assume. of course. that It was 30 re-
ported. do not know in what shape
the report was made. but 1t undoubtedly
was made" said Archbold.
Senator Pomerene asked about the
ive-thousand-dollar contribution
through Senator Penrose to the Penn
sylyania state committee and II Mr.
Archbold talked to Senator Psnrose about
Col. Roosevelt's attitude in regard to
business.
Mr.. Archbold replied that he undoubt.
edly did, and, after thinking, suggested
that he asked Senator Penrose in regard
TO Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude on the tariff.
When questioned about the date OF the
contribution through Senator Penrose Mr.
Archbold testified that he had been unable

Thought Policies Safest.

Mr.. Bliss said that he thought Mr.
Roosevelt would be a fair and conserva-
tive man when 1t came to the test and
urged that the policies of the republican
party were the safest for the business
world"
1T was because of his conservative
views and Your belief OF the attitude OF
the republican party toward the business
world that induced you TO contribute %
asked Senator Pomerene
The party question was first" said
Mr.. Archbold. Mr.. Bliss thought that
Mr.. Roosevelt would fairly carry out the
party pledges
Mr.. Archbold said that after this frs,
interview with Mr. Bliss he and Mr.
Rogers laid the request for contribution
before their business associates" who

No Talk Of Return.

Archbold said he had never heard Of
any proposition to return any campaign
funds until within the last two or three
days. Senator Pomerene asked II Mr..
Archbold had talked to Mr.. Bliss later
about this matter.
II went to Mr.. Bliss after President
Roosevelt and some of his bureau heads
began their line Of unjust attacks upon
u.s. said Mr.. Archbold; MIR. Bliss threw
up his hands. said that he saw the at
tacks were unjust and said that he SYM
nothing"
Mr.. Archbold said the attacks were
made upon the Standard Oil Company
by James A. Garfield and Herbert Knox
Smith
President Roosevelt unfailingly ap-
proved these attacks. without investt-
cation and without the slightest knowl
edge Of the facts" he said.
