whispered that the detectives suspect

tN3t the guilty person was one who
knew the ms and outs OF the place
where the hcdy was fund.
They had so worked out half-a-
hundred theories and hypothesis that
they had pinned themselves down to
this one as their most promising
chance.
The police theory is that the little
girl was entIced from her home by
some perverted man and that he per
haps sent her on an errand TO this
vacant apartment. where he entrap-
ped and attacked her.
There was only one arrest today.
That was OF a weak-minded youth.

MILLIONAIRES HELPED

WASHINGTON. July S--Thomas
Taggart displayed a faulty memory
today before the subcommittee Of the
Senate committee on privileges and
elections which is investigating the
campaign contributions of 1904 and
1908. The only statement extracted
from Taggart by the committee, and
that with much difficulty, was that
Thomas + Ryan and August Belmont,
who Bryan so bitterly attacked at the
Baltimore convention, were among
the chief contributors to the Demo
cratic campaign OF 1904. when Judge
Parker ran for President. Another
contributor Was Cord Meyers,
Taggart while able 10 remember
that Ryan, Belmont and Meyers con-
rrIbuted to the 1904 campaign, was
unable 70 give the amount of their
contributions. neither was he able TO
tell how much the-past+ spent iii
that campaign.
The story told by Taggari amount
ed to this:
Taggart was national chairman in
the 1894 campaign. whiie. W. i. Shee-
han was chairman OF the executive
committee, and George +. Peabody
was treasurer, Peabody resigned af
ter the election Of 1909, and August
h~inlont was appointed Before the
Denver convention Of 1905 Belmont
notified Taggart he was going to re-
sign.
Tageart received from him the rec
ords and hooks OF the treasurer, after
the reorganization OF the committee
in 1898 Taggart turned over such
records as he had, as haureorganixed
committee wanted. and burned the
rest. The material burned included
the financial records Of the 1904 cam
paign
You have no idea OF the total con-
trihutions or receipts of that cam
paign - asked Chairman. Clapp.

Questioned by Senator oliver, Tag
CART vaguely recalled he had person
ally given about $1,000 to the cam
paign OF 1904. This was given TO the
Indiana State committee.
Twenty or thirty men. according to
Taggart, were engaged in the work
of soliciting contributions In various
parts Of the country.

ters around a presidential boom, haN-

would substitute practical politics for
church politics" And In connection
with the boom. the name of Finley G.
Hendricksen. of Cumberland, Md, Is
heard quite frequently as the candi-
date for the presidential nomination
on such a ticket. The platform on
which the candidate would make his
campaign will urge especially that
there be more earnest appeals for votes
outside the church. and that less en-
ergy OF the prohibition party be ex-
pended In trying to secure the church
vote
The Massachusetts delegation came
In tonight bringing along large
sized boom for the denomination of

ticket already has many supporters,
