WILL MAKE MOST
THOROUGH INVESTIGATION
~ Assoclated Press.

Washington, Aug. 24-Spurred on
by the testimony Of John D. Archbold
alleging that the Standard Oil Com
pany contributed 100000 to the Re
publican national committee in 1904,
with the knowledge and consent of
Col. Roosevelt, the senate committee
: investigating campaign funds met
early today to lay plans for pursuing
4 its investigation.
! Senator Luke Lea, a Democratic
member. hurrying back from the west,
arrived early today and went into ex
ecutive session with his colleagues to
frame course of action. It was ex-
pected the committee would decide
upon the dates of further hearings,
the places at which they should be
held and what witnesses would be
called.
1t is practically decided that George
w. Perkins will testify Tuesday, but
whether he will come to Washington
or whether the committee will go to
New York where 1t would be con-
venient to hear others whose names
were mentioned in Mr.. Archbold's
sensational testimony probably will be
determined today.
Some Of the senators want to recall
George B. Cortelyou, chairman of the
Republican national committee of 1904.
He told the senate committee recently
that neither the Standard Oil Com
pany nor any one associated with 1t
contributed to the Republican fund
that year. Mr.. Archbold yesterday de-
clared the Standard Oil Company's
contribution was fully known to both
Mr.. Cortelyou and Col Roosevelt.
When the resolution by Senator
Penrose directing an investigation of
the charges regarding the Republican
campaign fund of 1904, and the prin-
aries of the 1912 presidential campaign
was called up in the senate today,
Senator Poindexter proposed to broaden
It's scope. A debate followed.
Senator Poindexter proposed that
the subjects to be investigated be ex-
tended to include "an correspondence
between John d. Archbold and mem
bers of the senate and of the house of
representatives" since 1900. This
amendment was adopted.
Senator Penrose proposed that the
name of George w. Perkins be in
cluded with that of Archbold, and that
the term Eek presidents of the United
States be included with members of
congress.
1T is suggested, however" he re-
marked, that there is only one living
ex- president, and as we are not in
terested in dead x-presidents, I wish
to substitute Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt
or Colonel, believe is his title"
This amendment was incorporated.
Senator Hepburn began a criticism
of the senate's attitude toward this
question He Objected to the "yitu-
perative attacks" on the Republican
party and it's members in the senate
debate Thursday and declared that the
senate was not concerned in the mat
ter of what any one contributed for

daughter of a wealthy planter residing
in the Rural Hill community, Winston
county, Miss, disappeared from her
home Search resulted in the finding
Of her body the next day. 1t bore
evidences Of brutal maltreatment. Af-
ter an investigation Swinton Permen-
ter and Alonzo BurchfieId were held
in connection with the murder but
Burchfield was discharged from Gus
tcdy after a preliminary hearing. Per-
menter stubbornly maintained his in
nocence and his family, In addition to
fighting every inch Of legal ground at
his first trial in the Winston county
circuit court, engaged the services of
private detectives to unearth evidence
looking to the detection OF the mur-
derer Of Miss Sharpe. Permenter's
first trial resulted in conviction and
he was sentenced to be hanged, but
the case was reversed by the Missis-
sippi supreme court and remanded for
trial.
Meantime, Ben Walker. a detective,
had caused the arrest Of one man.
When he was returned from Texas
without legal formality he succeeded
In proving innocence OF any connec-
tion with the murder. The detective,
Walker, was some time ago shot to
death by unidentified assassins. Three
weeks ago Walter Permenter, a broth
er Of the man today acquitted, was
also assassinated. He had been close
ly identified with Detective Walker In
the investigation. A change Of venue |
was made and the second trial of Per- |
menter began about two weeks ago.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Attorney
General Wickersham left today for
Milwaukee to attend the convention
of the American Bar Association
and take up the defense Of William
II. Lewis, a negro assistant attor-
ney general of the United States.
The executive committee of the as
ISOLATION, in January, rescinded it's
action in admitting Lewis to mem

appeal to the convention in behalf
Of his assistant. 1t is reported the

before has a negro been a member
Of the American Bar Association.
