Roosevelt Letters Admit It.

According to the information at hand
much correspondence that passed between
Roosevelt and Hartman will be produced
before the committee. if the members seek
it, and this correspondence will establish
Mr.. Hartman had discussed the precari-
ous political situation that year in New
York state. Mr.. Roosevelt'S own letters
admitting this much.
Col. Roosevelt has always claimed that
he merely received Mr.. Hartman as he
would receive any man who wanted to
talk with him. and that there was no
discussion of New York politics. or any
appeal to Mr.. Hartman to raise funds.
Col. Roosevelt has gone further and in
dicated his disbelief that Mr.. Hartman
raised $3.50, 600 for his campaign. 1t is
known beyond question today that the
correspondence to be produced before the
committee will show that politics was
discussed: that Col. Roosevelt wrote Mr..
Hartman long letters of a familiar, friend
ly nature, and, to top the whole thingn.
there will be produced the original re-
ceipt from Cornelius n. Bliss to e. H.
Hartman.
Roosevelt Advised With Him.
It is stated positively that Col. Roose-
welt wrote to Mr.. Hartman about inn
portant matters and even advised with
him about them, showing no dislike to be-
ing in touch with him.
The receipt of Bliss to Hartman is
dated November 2, 1904, showing that the
money was paid over just before cleo
ton day. thereby corrObora ting former
Gov Odell that he had been told by Bliss
some days before that the money would
be raised and to go ahead with prepara-
tons for greasing the machinery all
along the line. The fact that the money
was paid to Bliss and not to Odell will

Theory of the Officers.

That Pfanschmidt was the object Of the
murderer's assault and that the other
three occupants of the house were killed
to hide the crime is the theory of the
officers. Pfanschmidt was not accus-
toned to have money in his house and
there is little belief that the motive of
the crime was robbery.

Sulzer Acceptable to Wilson.

Representative Sulzer is on hand with a
BOOM He would be entirely acceptable
to Woodrow Wilson, it is said. but Muir
ply is reported to be fearful of Hearsts
influence With Sulzer. Hearst is warmly
supporting Sulzer and Murphy is wary
of the Greeks bearing gifts when they
are found in the company OF his one
time ally, but present bitter foe. Hearst.
Sulzer is the Job Hedges of the demo-
cratic party. and his friends say ne is
the man to take the Warpath after
Hedges. But the weight Of opinion is
that Murphy is more favorable to Dow
ling than to any one e.se. One Tammany
leader tells me that Murphy was for
Bowling two months ago, and most po l.
ticians hereabouts believe that Murphy
has not been sincere in his attitude to
Dix at any stage of the pending pro-
ceedings.
O'Gorman Favors Bowling.
Senator OGorman is on the battle
ground, the spokesman Of Woodrow Will
son in unbending opposition to Dix. He
is favorable to Victor J. Dowling, and at
a dinner in New York Saturday night
caused 1t to be known that he esteemed
Bowling very highly.
well, if Murphy is for Bowling and
Wilson agrees. why not strike eight be Is
and make it so?'' you ask. Simply be-
cause we have to keep our seats and
watch the sham battle which Murphy
must put up for his own sake. and which
the leaders think will be an inspiring
sight for the plain people. This is the
era of Embossed conventions, and the
democrats cannot afford to be behind
the times. And here is Murphy with all
but thirty-siX of the 4J0 delegates to the
convention absolutely in his control.

there are no arrests by tonight it is
announced that the county board of
supervisors will be asked to offer the

Worst Crime in County's History.
The crime as a result of which Charles
Pfanschmidt. a prominent farmer of this
county; his wife, Mathilda Abel Pfan-
schmidt; their daughter. Blanche Pfan-
schmidt, aged sixteen. and Miss Emma
er of the district. who roomed at the
Pfanschmidt house, were murdered, is
the worst in the criminal history of
Adams county. Bloodhounds were
brought to Quincy from Springfield to-
day and were placed on the trail.
The tracks of a man in the yard had
been covered with boards and the imprint
boards and boxes. Despite the fact that
thousands of persons visited the scene Of
the crime yesterday, the officers believe
that the scent is fresh enough for the
dogs to take up.

that this must not be done. But to save
