ROOSEVELT MAKES DENIAL
Did Not Solicit Contributions and Made
No Promises.

Washington. Theodore Roosevelt oc-
cupied witness chair for three and a
half hours Friday before a senate iTves-
tigating committee, defending his adj
ministration, himself and his campaign
associates against what he termed Tin
famous charges" and "hearsay evidence"
He appeared before the committee at
his own request to answer statements
made in August by John d. Archbold
that the Standard Oil Company had
given 100000 to the Republican CAM
paign fund in 1904, under the impression
that President Roosevelt knew of and
approved acceptance of the contribution.
Not only did Roosevelt deny this, but
he put into the formal records Of the
committee sweeping denial that he add
ever solicited funds from anyone While
president, that any money had been re-
ceived by the 1904 campaign committee
with an express or implied promise Of
fayors from the administration, that ex-
cessive funds had ben used in his 1904
or 1908 campaigns, or that money had
ever been improperly used in his behalf
SO far as he knew.

EXPRESS MESSENGER

PINI0NED UNDER A COFFIN CON
TANNING CORPSE.
TWO BODIES ARE CREMATED
With Name Of His Bride on His Lips
Messenger Chiffon Dies and His
Body Burned Before Eyes Of
Spectators.

Montgomery, Ala.-Begging pieously
that he be rescued, Express Messenger
Sam NJ. Chiffon of Springfield, Tenn,
pinioned in the Louisville and Nashville
wreck near Rlkmont, died under a casket
which contained corpse, according to q
story told by Deputy Sherin 0. w.
Strane of Athens when he reached Mont
gomery.
Hundreds Of men, women and children
heard Chiffon plead for life; heard him
repeat the name of a bride of two weeks
who was in Nashville without knowledge
that her husband was pinioned under a
corpse and several chicken coops with
out hope of being rescued.
Strane's story was told in the govern
or's office, where he came to apply for a
requisition for the return of man from
Texas to answer for crime in Lime
stone county. The officer did not know
the name of the messenger nor did he
know that he was newly married man
until Chiffon appealed for the life and
happiness Of his bride. Then he learned
who the dying man was.
Dozens of men answered the messen-
gers cry for assistance, but they were
driven back by the fierce heat after they
had pulled the hands and arms of the
man until the parched skin had been
torn from his hands. After being over
come by heat they were compelled to
see the red fire eat its way into the cof-
fin and take the body of the corpse With
the life of the messenger.

ARCHB0LD AND MORGAN GAVE
100000 EACH.
BLISS RECORDS ARE READ
Crane Will Be Asked About $4,000 Said
to Have Been Paid to Wilson Pre-
Convention.

Washington. -Four contributions of
100000 each from John d. Archbold Of
the Standard Oil Company, ]. P. Morgan
4 Co., Il. G. Frick and George j. Gould
were made to the Republican national
campaign fund of 1904, according to rec
ords Of the late Cornelius N. Bliss, which
passed through the hands Of George R.
Sheldon, treasurer Of the 1908 Republi-
can committee, who testified before the
senate committee investigating campaign
expenditures
Mr.. Sheldon said Mr.. Bliss give him q
detailed statement Of the 1904 funds;
that he noted three large contributions, /"
that he was positive no record appeared
of the 100000 Archhold contribution
having been returned. With equal pos
itiveness he swore that the records
showed the disputed Edward II. Harri-
man fund Of $24O,00O had been received
by Mr.. Bliss for the New York Republic
can state committee headed by B. B.
Odell, Jr. That fund of $4,000 was
raised at the request Of B. B. Odell, said
Mr.. Sheldon, and turned over to his
committee in its entirety. Mr.. Bliss
records showed it was entirely apart
from the funds spent by the national
committee.
Mr.. Dixon charged the committee with
concentrating its activities upon the
Roosevelt funds and ignoring the fnan-
cial activities in behalf Of all other can
didates, Republican and Democratic alike.
Committee members heatedly denied
this, declaring that arrangements for the
investigation had been left entirely in
the hands of Chairman Clapp, strong
supporter Of the Progressive national
candidate, and that managers for all can
didates had been subpoenaed to testify.
Published statements of Gov. Will
son and Senator LaFollette that they
did not receive $4,000 contributions
from Charles R. Crane, testified to yes
terday by e. H. Hooker, will result in
the calling Of Mr.. Crane as . witness.
