MACARTHUR DIES
WHILE SPEAKING
Retired General Stricken During
Reunion at Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Sept. 6.-While recalling
the deeds of the Twenty-fourth Wis.
consin volunteers in the Atlanta cam
paign Lieutenant General Arthur Mac
Arthur, U. S. A., retired, dropped dead
following an apoplectic stroke at the
last reunion of the regiment, known
as the Chamber of Commerce regi.
ment, in the University building.
Within a few minutes after the ven
cradle general fell to the speakers
platform Edwin B. Parsons, commits
sion merchant, a captain and member
of the regiment, suffered a paralytic
stroke from the shock of seeing his
comrade fall and had to be carried
from the place.
The old soldiers attending the re-
union-there were about 100-failed
to grasp the situation for some mo-
ments and when they rushed to the
side of their fallen commander they
found his eyes closed and his lips
silent. They tried to arouse him, but
the pallor of his face told them it
was useless.
One by one the old soldiers turned
away. They drew handkerchiefs
from their pockets and wiped their
eyes, then n by one they knelt by
the side of their stricken commander
in reverent attitude.
"Our Father, which art in Heaven
began one Of the veterans. AS the
words left his lips the others joined
in, a somber gathering, transformed
from n of merrymaking only a few
minutes before.
At the conclusion Of the prayer, as
the soldiers arose, one of them took
down an American flag that adorned
the wall and spread the Stars and
Stripes over the dead commander. ST
lently the soldiers left the hall. The
reunion was ended.

of Political Donations to LegisIa-

Washington, Sept. S.-Further plans
for the Clapp committees investiga.
ton of the campaign funds are to be
laid at a conference between Senator
Pomerene and Chairman Clapp.
The probable date of J. Pierpont
Morgan's appearance has not been de-
termined. Mr.. Morgan has been upon
the committees list of witnesses
since July, when he waived service
and told Chairman Clapp he would
come at almost any time.
1t was the committees intention to
question Mr.. Morgan about contribu-
lions to the presidential campaigns Of
1904 and 1908. The investigation has
been broadened, however, by the Pen
Observation-Disclosures controversy,
and Mr.. Morgan's examination now is
expected to cover not only all cam
paigns from 1900 to 1912, but also an
inquiry into any possible connection
between contributions and legislation
in congress.
Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rookie
Teller may be called upon if develop
ments warrant. 1t has not yet been
decided to invite them, although Will
lam Rockefeller is to be called in
connection with John D. Archbold's
recent testimony about an alleged con-
%tribution Of $100, 900 by the Standard
0;1 e..l
in 1904. 1t has not yet been deter
mined to call E. H. Gary or Henry c.
Prick.
Ormsby McHarg, one of the Roose-
welt managers in the pre-convention
campaign, has been asked to appear.
The committee wants to question him
about expenditures in behalf of Colo

SERVIAN CABINET RESIGNS
Lack Of Action in Balkan Situation
Said to Be Cause.

Belgrade, Servia, Sept. 10.-The Ser
Wan cabinet resigned, o%stensibly be-
cause Of the i'll health of the premier,
DR.. Milovanovitch. The real reason is
believed to be the serious Balkan
situation.
Recently the anger of Servians has
been aroused against Turkey on ac-
count of the massacres along the
southern frontier of Servia by the
Turks. The people have denounced
the Turkish government and many of
them have demanded that war be de-
clared against Turkey.
The Servian cabinet has had the
situation under discussion and a re-
port has been submitted to King
Peter, but no definite action has been
taken.
