Senator La Toilette Challenges Teddy
Roosevelt to Reveal Contributors
Names.

Of the financing Of his pre-convention
campaign was made by Senator La Fol-
lette, in La Follette's Magazine, is
sued yesterday. Quoting from Roose-
velt's Confession of faith. that there
should be publicity of contributions
during the campaign, La Toilette de-
elares in reference to the Roosevelt pre-
convention campaign:
"The public knows that he spent an
enormous amount OF money in that cam
paign. In some states, as in Ohio, for
example, it has been conservatively es-
timated that not less than 100000 was
expended to secure delegates for him.
1T is generally believed that this
money was, in large part, the unlawful
spoils of trusts, which thrived by spe-
cial favor at the expense of the peo-
pie under the Roosevelt administration.
Campaign contributions of such mag
nitude are made by those who have
big. interests to serve. They are 'prac-
teal business men and expect big fla
vors in return" La Toilette says.
The Wisconsin senator declares that
when the expenditures in the Roose-
welt pre-convention campaign became so
glaringly conspicuous" Roosevelt was in
vited to make statement as to the
contributors, but did not respond.
Until he makes a clean breast of the
financing of his last campaign" the
editorial concludes, "his Chicago declara-

ROOM OF MANY MURDERS.
Twenty Have Been Committed There,
Authorities Think.

Chicago, Aug. PA chamber OF
death, said to have been the scene of
the murders of more than score of
persons, has been found in West Ham
mond, Ind
The fatal room, which is in the rear
of a resort operated by Henry Foss.
has during the last ten years held TWEEN
ty victims, whose end was sudden and
unexplained. Murder was never sus.
pected, however, until an investigation
was begun on Aug, IA as a result of
the death of John Messmaker, a wealthy
contractor of West Hammond, who was
stricken while drinking in the room
and died shortly afterward in st. Fran
els hospital.
The inquiry came to startling end
last night with the discovery that
young woman has been the latest vic.
tim of the place and that the body had
been secretly removed at midnight and
buried in the West Hammond Gene
terry.
Messmaker was lured into the Foss
resort by young woman frequenter OF
the place. The victim was invited to
drink and fell into torpor.
Needle punetures on his arm gave the
first clue that aroused suspicion. An
investigation was started which was so
searching that one of the frequenters
of the place became frightened and on
Thursday told the story of the latest
victim Of the murder chamber.
An investigation followed and a new
made grave was opened in an obscure
part of the cemetery and the body of
Esther Harrison of Indiana Harbor, who
disappeared several months
ago, was unearthed. II was found that
one OF her arms, like Messmaker's, bore
the markings of a needle. A blood test
was made and poison of the same ma
ture as that found in the body of the
slain contractor was discovered No re.
port of her death had been made to
the police.
The account of this second murder
recalled to the authorities the deaths
Of eighteen others who have lost their
lives in the same resort. On delving
into the history of these cases it was
found that the deaths of all were ac-
rompanied by the same strange symp-
toms.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
SPORTING NOTES.

The Boston Braves will sorely miss
! Bill Rariden. Rariden has certainly been
!, playing better ball of late than ever be-
fore in his career.
| Walter Johnson's fifteenth consecutive
win is new record for straight victo.
ries in the American league.
The fans think very well Of Bert VIVA
| ling, who is to be Brave next sea-
son, claiming that he is the only catcher
in the Northwestern league who is capa-
BILE of turning the fastest base run
ners.
Both Mitchell and Hobltzel of Red
land are strong for Boston and would
welcome a trade whereby they might
come to the Hub. These two men are
of the best calibre and would greatly
strengthen the Boston club. They have
played at Cincinnati for the past few
years and are evidently dissatisfied with
their berths.
Eddie Plank has been one of the most
steady pitchers the game has known.
In all his years at Philadelphia, he has
been one OF the most feared by batters
of the opposing teams. His pitching av-
erage has always been among the best
in the league, and this year, considering
all the blistering campaigns that he has
struggled through, he has not shown
the least signs OF becoming warped.
Jack Boultes, the third sacker of the
Lowell club in the international league,
who was formerly a pitcher on the Brave
staff, is called the ''peppery" kid OF the
Spindle city team. He is playing a
splendid game, both at the bat and on
the field.
Joe jackson, when he comes to Bos.
ton, very rarely displays class, but in
the opening game OF the series against
the Red Sox the first part of the week,
he was all life, banging out four hits
out of as many times up.
0utfelder Benny Meyers of the Toron-
to club has been sold to the Brooklyn
Nationals. Meyers has been Toronto's
leading hitter and best base stealer.
Hub Pcrdue, the Braves star pitcher,
has been signed for three years more,
with a substantial increase OF salary
each year. He was signed by Manager
Killing, acting for Owner Gaffney. 1t is
reported that Perdue, Sweeney and
Bridwell are the only men sure of their
jobs for next year.
Detroit of Lowell is the leading slug
ger in the New England league. Jesse
Burkett of Worcester and Harrington,
the Lynn pitcher, are tied for second
honors with averages of $50.
Since Joining the Lowell club, Jack
Pfeffer has won seven games and lost
two.
A report comes from Philadelphia that
Charles Sterrett. the former Princeton
man, now with the Highlsnders, will be
used behind the bat. He was used in the
field after first reporting, but his batting
fell off.
Mike" Donlin. according to Manager |
Fred Clarke, will be used from now OH
as pinch hitter. Donln's legs are not
as strong as of old, but his batting eye
is just as keen.

ATTACKS FACTORY
OF HARVESTER co.
New York Senator Says That 1t En-
dangers the Women Who
Work There.

New York, Aug. 24.--State Senator
Robert +. Wagner, chairman OF the state
factory investigating committee, has
made further statement concerning the
conditions under which women and girls
were forced to work in the mills of
the Osborne Twin company No. OF
the international Harvester company, of
which George w. Perkins, the financial
head of the Progressive party, is di-
rector.
Mr.. Perkins had laid the blame for
the grinding conditions in the Irvine fac
tory on the policy of the Taft admin
istration, which, he said, made it i'm
possible for large corporations ito know
whether they were on foot or on horse
back"
Senator Wagner interpreted the state
ment of Mr.. Perkins as an insinuation
that the findings of the investigating
committee had been made public for q
political purpose, and he answered.:
Il want to make it plain that we
are not using the results of the inves-
tigation for the advantage of one po-
liteal party over another We intend
to continue our Investigations in the alb
solutely fair and impartial way which
has characterized our work from the
start.
"The conditions in that plant showed
disregard for the health, safety and
good morals of the employees, and they
are particularly dangerous in view of
the fact that large number of the
women, some OF them mothers, are af-
fected. We found women employed in
that factory engaged at hard manual
labor of such character as to oblige
them to stand on their feet all day
long, working excessively long hours and
wages that are insufficient to
themselves decently and prop
erly."
