MACK TELLS OF
CAMPAIGN MONEY
Largest Contribution to Democratic
Fund in 1903 Was $4,000
From Murphy.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.i
WASHINGTON. S Aug. 6.-Norman
E. Mack, who was democratic nation
al chairman in the 1908 campaign, was
recalled before the senate investigat-
Ing committee to amplify on his for
mer testimony, in the light of definite
information recently obtained by the
committee.
Senator Jones wanted information
why the national committee refused
a 5,00eRcontribution from Col. James
w. Guffey, of Pennsylvania, one OF
the instances which Mack cited where
the committee turned down money.
Was it because he was connected
with the Standard Oil COZ" Jones
asked
He may or may not have been, but
the impression of people generally
was that he was so connected an
swered Mack. After the election
| accepted his contribution of $4,000
The committees funds at that time
were $4,000 short. If Bryan had
been elected, i would not have taken
Colonel Guffey's money. He told me
it was personal contribution.
Mack said the largest contribution
to the 1908 fund was $4,000 given by
Charles F. Murphy. Senator Clark OF
Montana gave $4,000 each to the New
York and Chicago headquarters.

Quick action on the part Of Bur
lington switchman named c. Bailey
this morning saved the life Of a drunk
en- man who attempted to board a
moving freight train. The man gave
his name as Ed Lighter, OF Johnston,
pennsylvania. He is f1fty-one years
Iof age and has been working as la
borer in and around Keokuk for some
time.
Lighter, in attempting to board the
freight train, lost his footing and was
dragged for two hundred feet at the
foot of Main street. Then he let
loose with his hands and rolled under
the wheels. Bailey realized that the
man would be ground to pieces, but
darted down and in the twinkling of
an eye had pulled the man from the
Jaws of death. But despite the quick
action Of the switchman, Lighter will
| be in the hospital for the next month.
The flange of one of the wheels
caught his foot and it was badly
mashed. Dr.. H. A. Kinnaman, as
soon as he could reach the place
where the man was injured, ordered
him removed to the hospital where he
was patcherd up.
Lighter was very badly intoxicated
at the time Of the accident and his
talk plainly indicated that he did not
know exactly what he was doing. He
attempted to board south bound
train, he said, to go to Michigan.

Some of the stories of yesterdays
quarrel between the Bellies and the
Indians not told in the box score,
would make almost any old Indian
crack smile, or possibly weep. For
instance, in the third round, after
Jones had smacked his way to third,
Queisser tried to bunt him home.
Jones broke for home when Couchman
started to pitch, but the Indian boss
failed to connect. 1t looked like Jones
would be murdered by Woerth, but
the Belle catcher dropped the ball
and fell across the pan. Jones stuck
out foot at the pan and walked
away, One of the Bellies saw Jones
miss the pan and called to Woerth.
The latter jumped up and tagged
Jones and imp. Fleming called him
out by a mile. In the fifth Woerth
figured in another. He was on second
when Smith hit to Hollingsworth and
started for third. Hollingsworth threw
the ball to Bresnahan and the latter
dropped the ball. The bases were full
and Woerth evidently figured that
Bresnahan had caught the ball. He
ran over third towards the players
| bench, but the Indian third sacker re-
covered the ball and easily put him
out.
Jones had a good day yesterday and
its a shame there wasn't a big league
scout present to look him over The
first time up. Jones uncorked hot
single through short, and the second
time UP, cracked out triple that
brought in a couple of runs. TIE
third time up he connected for a
double, and the fourth time, raised a
4 high fly to left that brought Bresnahan
home making batting average of
i 1000 for the afternoon. When Jones
clouts, he clouts," said fan last
night, "and he's some cloutter when
he does clout," the bug added.
/ Couchman, the Belle finger, is an
old time tried and fire tested Three
Eye Lacquer, and used to pitch great
guns. He was let 60 to Hannibal this
spring when he failed to get in shape,
but after reaching the Belle town he
has been showing something. But he
couldn't have any luck against the
Indians yesterday. They smacked him
for a pair Of doubles, three triples
and four singles. And they were all
good healthy smacks. Jones says
Couchman is the best pitcher in the
