COL. ROOSEVELT
GIVES LIE TO
HIS ACCUSERS
Says He Made No Request ol STAN

1904
PUBLISHES LETTER TO cLApP
Declares Testimony by Penrose
Should Cause Him to Lose
Senate Seat
PUBLISHES LETTER TO cLApP
Associated Press Dispatch.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. Col,
Roosevelt made public, tonight, his
letter to Senator Clapp, chairman OF
the Senate committee investigating
campaign contributions in reply to
recent testimony of John D. Arch
bold and Senator Penrose, regarding
an alleged contribution of 100000
to the Republican campaign of 1904.
The letter is a document of ap-
proximately $4,000 words, covering
forty-four typewriter pages, About
one-third of the letter is devoted to
copies of correspondence by Col.
Roosevelt, while president, with
James $. Sherman, now vice-presi-
dent, Senator Bourne and Others and
to the reply of President Roosevelt
to the charge made by Judge Alton
b. Parker in 1904 that the Repub-
lican campaign was financed in large
measures by the contributions or
big corporations.
The letter in part follows,

Unqualified Falsehood.


"As regards the statements of MI.
Penrose and Mr.. Archbold that with
my consent or knowledge Mr.. Bliss
/ asked the STANDARD Oil people for
100000 or other sums. or received
such sums from them, it is an UNI
qualified falsehood.
"If any request for funds was
made from the Standard Oil Co., or
If the funds we've received from the
Standard Oil by Mr. Bliss or anyone
else connected with the National
committee in 1904, it was not mere
ly done without my knowledge, but
was done against my express dfree-
tion and prohibition and in spite oil
the fact that | was assured that nc
such request had been made adm that
no such contributions had been OF
would be received"
In support of this statement the
Colonel included his letter ant
kilograms to George b. Cortelyou
then Republican national chairman
of Oct. 26. 27 and 20, 1904, respec-
lively. These letters, which Were
made public recently, called Cortel
you's attention to report that the
Standard Oil interests had contribute
ed 100000 to the Roosevelt cam
paign and directed that the money
be returned if the report were true
The telegram was one asking If thi'
had been done and adding that there
should be no delay in so doing
Talked to Cortelyou.
Subsequently to this Telegram
Mr.. Loeb, my private secretary
called Mr.. Cortelyou on the tele
phone" the letter continued, "an'
later I did so myself. He notitier
me first through Mr.. Loab and thel
directly that no such contribution
had been received or would be re
ceived. He tells me he saw Mr.
Bliss, showed him the letters ant
telegrams and that Mr. Bliss thel
told him that no Standard Oil none.
had been received and that non
would be accepted"
Col. Roosevelt quotes a length,
extract from an interview with Mr.
Bliss on the Harriman-Rooseve
controversy, published in the New
York Herald on Dec. 2, 1911, pur
porting to have been given BY Mr.
Bliss few months before his deatl,

blowing. Under these conditions the
house burned as readily as it would
had oil been poured over it.

How to Clean Tapestry.

Shake the tapestry gently but well
to remove loose dirt and then immerse
1t in cleansing fluid composed as
follows. Take four ounces of soap to
a quart of water and boil it until 1t
becomes a jelly; then divide this
equally in two tubs of hot water, adj
ding cup of bran to each tub to pre-.
vent the colors from running. It is
best to sew the bran in cheese cloth
bags, SO that it will not stock to the
fabric.
After washing the tapestry alter.
nately in the two tubs, rinse in water
strongly favored with vinegar Ito pre-
vent colors fading) and dry.
After the heavier weight of the wa,
ter is out, stiffen with thin boiled
starch aud iron quickly on the wrong
side with rather hot iron.

HELD FOR WlFE's MURDER
Thrice Welded and Youthful Physi-
clan Charged With stabbing Won
an in Neck.
NOW ADMITS CRIME CHARGED


Intense interest is manifested in the
fate Of Dr.. Harry Flgtn Web:
ster, the young ynnieago physi:
clan who is charged with having
murdered his wife and thrown her
body into a lonely ravine in the
southwestern part of this county on
September Is last. ~
DR.. Webster has admitted the
crime and will be sentenced on Fri
day. ,.-
Webster's case is one of the most
interesting in the criminal annals of
northern Illinois. The young man
was reared in this section and his
youth held forth every promise of a
bright future. His ambition to Sc
cure medical education was full
filled through the assistance of his
parents and sisters, who denied them
selves in order that he might have
the money necessary to go through a
Chicago medical college.
The victim of the murder, Mrs.
Bessie Kent Webster, is said to have
been the third wife Of the young
physician. In 1904, at Racine, Wis,
he is said to have married Miss May
B. Graft, a young Chicago woman
who later divorced him for desertion
and cruelty. A year ago this month
DR.. Webster married Miss Zoe Var
ney of Cedar Rapids, Ia. The same
week, according to the facts brought
to light by the police investigation,
he secretly married Miss Bessie Kent,
a young nurse whom he met in the
Chicago hospital in which he was
serving as an inferno.
His love for his second wife, Mrs.
Zoe Varney Webster, is believed to
heve furnished the move for his de-
sire to rid himself of the third wife.
His term of service as an inferno
was about finished and it was his
intention to join his second wife and
establish himself in the practice of
his profession.
On the morning Of September Is
he is alleged to have lured Mrs Bes-
sic Kent Webster away from Chicago
on the pretext that he wished her
to meet his parents who resided near
the town Of Dixon. Arriving at Dix
on the couple drove away in an auto
mobile and that was the last time
the young woman was seen alive.
Some days later her body was found
concealed In a ravine.
The victim had met death through
q knife wound in the back Of the
neck which the medical examiners
declared could have been inflicted
only by q person having a knowledge
of surgery. There was evidence that
the young woman was drugged be-
fore she was killed.
The discovery of the body led to
the arrest a few days later Of the
husband Of the victim.
