Arrangements for Renewing on Broader Scale Senate Inquiry Concerning Cam paign Money Contributed by John D. Archbold.
NOTHING TO BE DONE
 UNTIL NEXT MONTH
Learning of the Adoption of the La Toilette Amend ment the Colonel An nounces His Readiness to Aid the Committee.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHJ

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-At the end of a three-days fight in which La Follette's threat of a continued filibuster hung over the senate to force it's consideration, that body adopted the Penrose resolution today calling for a complete investigation of the campaign contributions of John D. Archbold and George w. Perkins, and of all financial trans actions and the correspondence re- lating thereto" between tho two financiers, Colonel Roosevelt, repre- sentatives in congress, and members of the senate of the United States"
 Objection to the resolution died out in the final hours of the ses- sion. When the senate met at noon it had been agreed that no opposi- tion be made to Senator La Fol- lette's request for action. Based on charges by Penrose that the Stand ard Oil company had contributed S1OO,000 to the Roosevelt fund in 1904, the resolution had been amended by Senators Poindexter and Penrose to cover. respectively, all the political activities of Archbold and Perkins. The resolution once before
 the senate was adopted with little discussion, and with no votes in the negative. One important change was made that gives the witnesses the right to have attorneys at the hear ings before the senate committee.
 Senator Clapp, chairman of the subcommittee which will conduct +I,a spx- cai
 his committee probably would not reconvene before September 10. Sem ator Clapp today asked Senator Dil-
 lingham of the committee on prlvI-
 leges and elections to appoint an-
 other democrat to take the place of
 Senator PaYnter on sub committee.
 Senator Dillingham; had already des-
 ignated Senator Pomerene of Ohio to take the place of Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee. who resigned. Sena- tor Paynter has notified Senator Clapp that he cannot serve longer. There was a general understand ing among the members of the com mittee" said Senator Clapp tonight. that if the Penrose resolution was adopted we would resume our in VeSugatlon at the enu or oepteihoel' . | The adoption of the resolution will | make no material change in our plans, except to widen somewhat the scope of the inquiries"
 La Toilette said he intended to make public a complete schedule of | his expenses as candidate for the | republican nomination for president. ] This statement, he said, would em-
 brace practically all the information l he could give on the witness stand
 before the senate committee. but the Wisconsin senator expects to appear | before the committee at the fall hearings Senator Clapp said it had not been decided at what time Roosevelt would appear, or what other witnesses would testify.

Next Draft For Service in South or Central America Will be Upon
 Army.
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1sPArcHI

WASHINGTON, August 26-The navy reserves on the Pacific coast have been drawn upon to such an ex- tent that should further trouble be en- countered i'll Nicaragua and should it be beyond the power of forces there now or enroute to cope with them, or should some American lives or inter ests in other Central or Southern American countries be jeopardized, the army would be called upon to assist the marines.
 The tenth infantry now in the canal zone, will be first called upon to an- swer the call. This branch of the ser vice is said to be much better equipped than the marines for landing parties.
 An accident to the iVcksburg report
 ed today is serious because it takes
 practically the last available vessel for duty on the west coast. The navy has none except the cruiser Cleveland which was just taken out of reserve and ordered to Nicaragua.
 These orders were rescinded and the Cleveland was ordered to overtake the Vicksburg at Magdalena Bay and es- cort her back to Mare Island for re- pairs. This will take three days. The l Cleveland will then carry out the | Vicksburgs orders.
 i The Vicksburg. when last heard of | today was abaout 160 miles from Mag

 It is believed by the navy department i to be in no immediate danger. There are number of vessels in reserve or l the Pacific coast but no men to mar them, and there is no provision for in l creaSing enlistments.

 The next matter of most general interest was the petition of the citi- zens of Churchill addition, protesting against the building of baseball park on what is known as the Polk street grounds. The proponents and the opponents of the project were both before the council in force and spilled great deal of oratory. It was de- cided by the council that it's duty was to listen to the property owners; that whatever the merits of the pro- ho chn | assemblages at place where il seemed to be so unanimously objec- tionable to them. It was therefore ordered that whatever steps are nee 1 essary to prevent the building of the | enclosure should be taken.
 | Bids for feeding the city prisoners until April 90 next year, were opened and referred to the committee of the whole The bids were Hackett mar ket. 10 cents per meal; S. J. Tribolet ! 111a cents; c. Pettid. 12 cents; The l New Market, 1914 cents; P T. Hur- 1 ley, 19 cents.

 in unpaved portions of the following streets now proposed to be paved. wa: passed: Central avenue, First avenue Adams, Washington and Jefferson streets
 | Specifications for new paving con i tracts were submitted and referred tC

 recommendations concerning the nev i sewer in the northeast part of town
 which were adopted by the council.
 The alley matter east of Seventl
 street between Adams and Washing 1 ton came up again and the city at torney was instructed to take tn steps necessary to open it. Severa other minor matters were discusses
 and an ordinance was passed amend ing the city market ordinance.
 It provides that the market shall b kept open each week day from sun rise until noon and all day on Satur days. It also makes the market mas ter sealer of weights and measure for the city and outlines numerou
 other details of his work.
