AUTOIST ARRESTED.
to Have Been Exceeding
Speed Limit on King Street.

Early last night Officer Scott inter-
cepted a young man named Vernon
Lynch, at the intersection of King
and Pitt streets, who, it is alleged,
was operating an automobile at an
unlawful speed. The officer stepped
into the auto and directed Lynch to
proceed to the station house. Upon
arriving there the accused left ten
dollars collateral for his appearance
before the Police Court this morning.
When the case was called Justice Ca
ton announced that it had been con-
tinued until tomorrow morning.
Officer Scott on this occasion timed
the autoist. Recently he was unable
to use his watch upon a man alleged
to be breaking the law, as he disap-
peared in an instant. He, however,
summoned the man to appear, but the
charge against him was dismissed, as
the officer had no figures to present to
the court. 1t takes IS seconds for an
auto to pass over square running
east and west, and "a on squares run
ming north and south in order to meet
the requirement of twelve miles an
hour. According to the law, autoists
must slow up on roads or streets
where other vehicles are being ope-
rated

The chip on Washington street, be-

Washington, Aug. 23.-John D.
Archbold, political strategist and di-
.recting genius of the Standard Oil
Company, and reputed author of the
so-called "Archbold letters" to var

ate to are the national republican
committee in 1904.
Specifically, Archbold appeared at
Senator Clapp's request to tell the
committee, which is empowered to
probe the campaign finances of both
parties in 1904 and 1908, exactly how
it was that he gave the Republicans,
in 1904, contributions aggregating
Sl25 900, and to corroborate or repu-
diate Senator Boies Penrose's state
ments of the circumstances attending
that gift made on the floor Of the
Senate on Wednesday. 1t was known,
however, that in addition, the sena-
torial inquisitors expected to grill the
trust magnate on his other alleged po>
itical activities.
Anticipating sensational disclos-
ures, big crowd packed the commit
tee room and adjacent corridors an
hour before the hearing was schedu-
led to begin. Scores of senators and
representatives were drawn from
their legislative work by the expect
ancy that Archbold would make some
astounding revelations as to his part
in Republican campaign successes.
Hundreds Of plain citizens, lnclud-
ing many women, sought seats, OF
mere standing room.
ArchboId was called TO the stand
shortly before 10 o'clock.

Stand Today.
Will BARE SECRETS.
Committee Will Probe Finances of
Both Parties in 1904 and 1903 Cam
paigns.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Swinging
sharply from a defense of Senator
Penrose, Pennsylvania boss, to an at
tack upon Colonel Roosevelt, John D.
Archbold, the genius of Standard Oil,
today told a Senate investigating
committee how Standard Oil money
helped elect Roosevelt. Then he
charged that, because a second contri-
button was refused, Roosevelt insti-
gated a "most outrageous persecu-
ton" against the giant oil octopus.
Archbold said STANDARD Oil" con-
tributed 100000 to Cornelius n.
Bliss, treasurer of the Republican Ma
tional Committee for the 1904 ma
tional campaign. He also said the
coil trust" gave Senator Penrose an
additional $4,000 to help carry Penn
sylvania.
That Roosevelt and Chairman B.
Cortelyou, of the republican commit
tee both knew and gratefully ac-
cepted' the trust money was declared
by Archbold. A few weeks later,
Archbold testified, Bliss asked for
$150,O0O more. 1t was refused.
At an executive session held after
the close of Archbold's testimony, the
committee decided to meet again at
2:30 p. m., with Senator Penrose on
the witness stand.

least trouble until two months ago.
Then my right lung often hurt and
my throat was sore. One day a pearl
came up in my mouth and 1 went TO
a doctor and was Informed 1 must
undergo an operation"
No anaesthetic was used for the
operation. The doctors discovered that
the pin was in the lower end of the
right lung and imbedded in the It's
sues. y bronchOscope was fitted over
the girls lips and an electric light
was so manipulated that the pin was
shown. IT required only a few sec
onds TO dislodge il and bring it out
with forceps. The tearing Of the it's
sues was painful and Miss Martin
tainted, but recovered quickly.
The doctors found the pin corroded
and said blood-poisonfng would have
resulted had it remained much longer
in the lungs.
