.UkAiTIGATED FALSEAooD."
Says Senator Should Be Made q

Washington. Oct. %. - George W.
Perkins denounced as an "unmitigated
falsehood" the charge that he had un.
derwritten the Roosevelt preconveu-
ton campaign this year in the sum Of
100000. He testified that his total
contributions were $122,500.
Rising from the witness chair, be-
fore the Clapp committee, and shak.
ing q clenched hst, Mr.. Perkins shout.
ed:
Among the long list OF unmltigated
lies throughout this campaign. that
statement perhaps ought to be placed
at the top, because it Is largest. Twas
in hope that Senator Penrose would
be here this morning. He made that
statement on the floor of the senate,
and he ought to be required to prove
1t, or like gentleman, he ought to
take it back. There Is not a scintilla
Of truth in it,
Just a minute" interrupted Chair
man Clapp. "All that is necessary ia
that you deny it. All that the com.
mittee can do is to determine the
proof or the absence of proof"
Mr.. Perkins was not to be stopped.
He continued: II want to know where
l stand. I want to know whether I
can be charged with these things on
the floor of the United States senate
and not be given an opportunity to dis
prove them"
He insisted that Mr.. Penrose should
be brought before the committee and
say whether his charge was mere
hot air. He did not believe the sen.
ator should be allowed to get away
with the situation"
Did you ever enter into arrange
ment to underwrite any portion Of Col
onel Roosevelts campaign" he was
asked.
Not one dollar" said Mr.. Perkins.
DO you know Of anyone else I'M
dertaking to do sop
II do not"
Taking up accusations by Chairman
Hilles that the International Harvest
or company had made large contribu
lions to the Roosevelt campaign, Mr..
Perkins declared with heat: This
Is an absolute falsehood made out of
whole cloth. and if Mr.. Hilles has
any reason to believe that contribu.
tons have been made by the Harvest
er company he owes 1t to me and
others to have the books of the com
pany audited for the purpose of prov
Ing or dlsproving the accusation"
Here Mr.. Perkins arose from his
seat and protested that he had been
"villified" as no other man had been
and he insisted that the committee
require his accusers to prove their
charges.

Heavy Rains in Louisiana.

New Orleans-NeW Orleans Friday
night withstood the severest rain
storm in her history. All of the lower
half of Louisiana was affected and
thousands of people who live behind
the already terribly strained leyees
that hold back the Mississippi's flood
waters were made panicky.
The wind ranged from twenty
seven miles an hour at New Orleans
to forty miles at Baton Rouge, and
at many points along the river it
swept the waves Of the swollen stream
over the levees.
At New Orleans five and one-half
inches Of rain fell from noon until 10
o'clock at night and about four inches
fell between 7 and o'clock at night
The Mississippi river was banked up
by the high winds and rose eight
inches in two hours between and 10
o'clock, forcing the waters over the
levees at several points.
Guards were placed along the en-
tire river front and precautions were
taken to quickly close every spot
where there was an overflow.
The streets Of New Orleans We're
flooded as never before in the city's
history In the Carrollton section,
the upper part Of the city, the water
was six to seven inches deep on the
sidewalks. In the downtown business
section Canal and all intersecting
streets were flooded over the side
walks and the water entered stores
on number of streets.
There was such strong current in
some of the city's streets, due to the
excessive rainfall, that many persons
were alarmed and feared there had
been an overflow from the river.
Telephones were kept busy for sew
eral hours by people who were not
prepared to believe that the rainfall
alone was responsible for the depth
and swiftness of the water in the
streets.
