of Mr.. Archibold or anyone in his be-
half making contribution"

There is just one-tenth OF the JUS

diplomacy is commendable when pl op-

fortunes are furthered in a way re-
curing the use of the army and navy.

Most Beneficial Bill That Has Passed This Or Any Other Congress,
 He Says.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Presidtnt Taft signed the Panama canal bill a few minutes after z o'clock torigEt. Concurrent with his signature he gave out lengthy statement review ing the objections which have been made against the bill from at home and abroad and in which he takes distinct issue with the position of Great Britain.

 MIR. C0RTELY0U Says It Was the Chairman and Not Treasurer Bliss Who Sought Sl00,000.
FROM STANDARD OIL
Peculiarly Unfortunate That II. H.. Rogers IS Dead and Is Not Here
 to Verify Statement.

New York, Aug. 24.-'My informa- tloh IS that It was Chairman Cortel- you and not Treasurer Bliss who ini- tlated the negotiations on behalf of the Republican national committee which resulted in the Standard Oil Company contribution of $100, ,000 to President Roosevelts s campaign fund i'll 1904, said Judge Alton B. Parker today. He had just returned from Indianapolis where he attended tbe Marshall notification.
 Colonel Roosevelt's defeated oD- ponent in 1904 displayed no bitterness as he frankly discussed the causes of the Democratic disaster eight years ago.
 ] was informed," Judga Parker went on, that Chairman Cor, elyou initiated the negotiations for the Standard Oil contributions by calling MT H. II. Rogers on telephone and telling the then vice president of the corporation that contribution woaId be very acceptable to the Republican national committee. For the purpose of verification il is peculiarly uniGr- tunate that MT. Rogers is dead. If 1 the information which 1 received on this interesting point is correct I hay, no doubt now that MT. Archbold ant ! others familiar with the fac, 5 wht

Washington, Aug. Predetermined to prevent the exposed and discred- ited Penrose from pulling them down with him, the old guard leaders of the Senate this afternoon desperate ly fought his resolution for a thor ough investigation into the relations between the. senators of the United States and letter writing corporation managers.

HAVE NO QUORUM M
But Bailey, Shoot and Heyburn Re- fuse to Be Routed at
 Midnight.

Washingto Aug. 24.-At midnight a handful of reaetlonary leaders in the Senate are making a desperate light to stave off the investigation demanded by Senator Penrose and SC amended as to affect every member of the Senate, as well as Theodore Roosevelt The indications now are that Roosevelt will be here and tell his own story before the inves ga ton is authorized.
 Shoot Hepburn, Bailey and the other men who desire no invesiga. tion, are intrenched behind a tech nicality and though the majorit, against them is overwhelming. they have not yet been routed. There is a bare quorum of AZ present, but be- cause a number of Senators are bound by pairs and cannot vote, there is not voting quorum.
 Eevry time the motion made early in the evening by Senator LaFOllette to go to a vote on the investigation is raised the point of no quorum is brought up. A roll call results and the point is sustained There have already been seven roll calls and the clerk is now still engaged in droning drearily through the names of the members of the Senate.

c. H. Triplett ST., w. c. Crittenden and M. A. Hud-
 son Are Appointed.
ONE ANTI BRIDGE MAN
Board Will GO to Fort Smith and In- spect Assessment System
 In Use There.

Charles H. Triplett Sr, Marion A. Hudson and w. c. Crittenden, three of the oldest and most substantial citizens and property owners of this county, have been appointed asses SITS for the J Jefferson County Free Bridge District. All of them have ac- cepted the appoin ments and yester- day took the oath of office before Circuit Clerk G. E. Lytle in this city. They will leave Sundaw for Flrt Smith, Sebastian county, where they will acquaint themselves with the assessment system adopted by the board Of assessors of the Sebastian and Crawford County Bridge District.
 The appointment Of Messrs. Trip lett, Hudson and Crittenden cannot help but meet with the approval of all the property owners of this cOun- ty. As MT. Crlttenden has always opposed the Free Bridge, his appoint- ment is an evidence of the fairness of the Bridge Commission. The board of assessors, upon their return from Fort Smith, will be furnished with copy of the tax books of this county.
 Mir. Hudson lives in Taladega township, while Mir. Triplett and Mr.
 Crittenden reside in Pine Bluff. MT. Crittenden's interests are at Althei- mer where much of the opposition to the Free Bridge originated.
 x 2 -Refore accepting the appointment Mir. Crittenden stated his 4 position clearly to the Free Bridge Commfs- sioners. He said that he was op- posed to the Free Bridge, but that he believed that majority of the property owners favored 1t. If the Free Bridge is to be built he feels that it is his duty to cooperate with l the Free Bridge advocates and to do all he can for the peaceful and suc- cessful continuation of the project, that all of our people may work in harmony for the upbuilding of Pine Bluff and Jefferson ciunty. MT. i Cri.tenden added that he felt compli- mented over the request of the com missioners that he serve as one of the assessors, knowing as they did his views on the issue and that his interests are at Altheimer, his former home.
