about the 1904 Standard OIL contribution.
What Mr.. Archbold testified to yester-
day was utterly untrue. I shall tell that
to the committee in the plainest Ian
guage know"
mony?" was asked.
Precisely what I have said in my
statement" returned the colonel. 1.-The
letters and kilograms that passed be-
tween Mo Cortelyou. and myself are
part Of IT, They show what my attitude
was as to the Standard OIL contribu-
tion. They completely refute Mr.. Arch
bold's testimony. Mr.. Archbold as
sumed to repeat something that Mr..
Bliss had told him concerning my will
ingness to accept the Standard Oil
money. Mr.. Bliss never said to Mr..
Archbold what Achbold testified to,
and Mr.. Archbold knew it was false
when he swore to 1t.
Now. will not tolerate anything of
that kind, and when I get upon the
stand Mr.. Archbold will find IT out"
From the colonefs way of speaking
II was assumed that he had something
startling to spring on the Committee
concerning Mr.. Archbold. Asked about
this he replied brusquely:

Speaker Clark has made good, and that
he is entitled to another term. IL his
party carries the next House. This line
of reasoning does not appeal to MIR.
Henry. He wants the job, apparently.
and as It will not come upsought he is
going after II.
The Democrats feel SO certain in their
minds that DR.. Wilson will succeed Pres
ident Taft that they are already figuring
on the personnel OF the Wilson Cabinet.
Representative A. Mitchell Palmer Of
Pennsylvania, who Joined in the Wilson
movement At the beginning of the pre-con-
veIitioR fight. is mentioned for the office
Of Attorney General Curiously enough.
Representative Henry has also been sug-
gested for this appointment. Many
Democrats are inclined to the opinion
that Mr.. Henry has startedsa boom for
the Speakership in the hope that It will
attract attention to him as a good man
for the Cabinet.
Texan for the Cabinet.
Another Texan has been awarded a
place In the Wilson Cabinet. He is Rep
resentative Albert s. Burleson. He is
mentioned for the agricultural portfolio.
Mr.. Burleson has been a student of agri-
culture for many years, owns. thou
sa nds Of acres Of land In Texas, and had
a part In the starting of the agitation
some years ago which resulted In the
exposure Of the cotton conspiracy In
the Department of,Agriculture.
Speaker Clark apparently Is not con-
cerned over the Henry boom and feels
convinced that neither Gov. wilson nor
President Wilson will interfere. The
Speaker has completed plans to make
three speeches in Maine for Gov. VII
son. and he has promised to open the
campaign In Kentucky in behalf Of the
Presidential candidate on September 10.
The Washington herald., 1912-08-25

but his name was not mentioned at the
caucus In which Mr.. Clark was made
the party nominee. In ,his fight for
Speaker in the new Congress Mr.. Henry
is counting on the support OF Gov. VIII
son. who. he believes, will then be in
the White House.
Running on his own hook. Repre-
sentative Henry would not make a for
midable candidate for the Speakership.
He has failed TO distinguish himself at
the head OF te Committee on Rules, and
at this time he has little or no follow
ing in the House. However, Mr.. Henry
believes that II Woodrow Wilson sue
ceeds TO the Presidency and remembers
his friends. that he has right to call
on Wilson for support.
Clark stock SagEed.
Soon after adjournment OF the Balti-
more convention Clark stock In the House
began to sag. Mr.. Clark developed =
large sized crouch that got on the nerves
OF even his most intimate friends. For
a long time the Speaker was in a peevisb
state Of mind. and among Demo@Dhts gos-
sip had 1t that II the party was contin-
ued In control Of the House Clark would
have to return to the floor. Represent
ative Underwood of Alabama the Demo-
cratic floor leader. was mentioned for
the Speakership. and the statement was
freely made that II Mr.. Underwood would
consent to be a candidate he would win
hands down,
II may be stated upon authority that
Mr.. Underwood will not be a candidate
for Speaker. Mr.. Underwood and prac-
ticaliy every House Democrat believes
that Woodrow Wilson will be elected
President. They do not want to signal
ize the beginning OF the new admfnistra-
tiol with a fight in the House organiza-
ton over the Speaketship. and for that
reason Mr.. Underwood will not oppose
Mr.. Clark.
Further. Mr.. Underwood believes that

George B. Cortelyou. speaking over the
telephone from his country place at
Huntington, Long Island. declared that
he had no comment to make on Arch
boid's statements, though in his testi-
mony before the Senate committee on
July II Mr.. Cortelyou denied all knowl-
edge Of any contributions from either
Mr.. Archbold or from the Standard OIL
interests in 1904.
To Make Flat Denial.
The former President insists on appear
ing before the committee, as he explained
a fat, unqualified denial Of the
charge of Archbold that Roosevelt as
President knew of the $4,000 contribu-
help elect him In 1904
Roosevelt showed to-day that he was
mad clean through over the evidence
given by Archbold. He intends, once
he gets upon the witness stand, to re-
peat his assertion OF yesterday that
Archbold uttered a base falsehood" In
alleging that Roosevelt assented to the
committee taking Standard Oil
money. Only he intends using hnrsher
language. The coloners eye shone with
the fire Of rage as he told tonight Of
his eagerness to brand Archbold before
the committee as a liar.
The evidence that Archbold gave was
infamous hearsay. The committee has
no right to allow II to stand without
contradiction by me- declared the for

Saws Mexican Government Would Hold Americans
 If Invaded.
LEAVING
RumOred That Counsel General Sllanklin is to GO to WaSh-
 ingtOn Today.

Mexico, City, March 5.-That the Mexican people would hold Americans and all other foreigners in Mexico and their interests here as hostages in the event of foreign troops being landed cn Mexican soil was the state ment made today by Samuel Celero, Minister of Foreign Affairs. He agreed with the fear voiced by Ma dero's private secretary, that the first attempt of Amer. can soldiers 10 cross the border would be a signal for a massacre of Americans in Mexi- co.
 "The government will not grant any requests from foreigners, for arms,' he said, because We do not propose to have these foreigners kill our people. There is no necessity of discussing the responsibilities for the death of any Americans. They and all their interests will be held as hos tages to insure this country from in- vasion by foreign troopa"
 The situation is growing worse hourly. American intervention is the topic everywhere. Many Ameri- cans are leaving and many are fur nishing transportation for their en- employees who wish to leave the city. Several prominent Americans called on President Madero yesterday to in- form Him that the Mexican goVefn ment would be held responsible for any Americans killed At their pro- tests he laughed and waved them out, refusing to hear more.
 The entire country is in a state of anarchy. It is reported tonight that Consul General Shenklin will leave for Washington tomorrow to impress upon the State Department the gray ity of the situation at the extreme peril of Americans.
