After more than an hour of waiting Mr.
Dover appeared and took the stand. He
said that he knew nothing OF contribu-
tons 10 the 1904 republican fund beyond
his own personal contribution. But he
said that he had been given book by c.
n. Bliss some time after the campaign
containing d list of contributors. which
Mr.. Bliss said might be of Use to Dover
If he continued in politics.
The witness presented a list which he
said he had had prepared in his office
from the book, which was later returned
TO Mr.. Bliss. He said the list apparent
ly contained several errors and mac
curacies. He said he never compared
the list with the original and that he be-
ieved to give it any real value it would
have to be further authenticated.
Mr. Dover said that Arthur L. Fisher,
his then secretary, made the copy of the
list
Does the list show contribution by
Mr.. Morgan?" asked Senator Clapp.
Il think it shows one by j. p. Nor
gan x Co, said the witness
"A contribution is credited to G. w. p.
Who would that be?''
Il suppose that was George w. Per-
kinS."

Cyrus McCor;nick's Stand.

Again denying his connection with the

asked concerning the attitude Of Cyrus
Mccormick. He replied:
THAT branch of the family is singular

members of that branch have contributed

that it was not pertinent. He insisted
upon his right to reply to Mr.. Hilles'

While quality, correct

not call for prohibitive

an enviable recognition
by makers preferring to

The sinister system formed a deep
laid plot to control the present presden-

scheme to nominate and elect q candi-
date satisfactory to the Wall street i'm

The conspiracy of the Wall Street in
terests, of which Mr.. Lawson knew in q

defeat of Col. Roosevelt at the republi-
can national convention, the nomination
of President Taft and the injection of
Col. Roosevelt into a campaign as a
third party candidate to split the repub-
lican party. All this without the knowl-
edge or consent of Coz. Roosevelt.
Then Mr.. Lawson knew in a general
way that a mysterious fund of 81 .0O0, $50
had been raised in Wall street to dead

the candidates before the convention and

CARD GAME COST

VIRGINIA MOUNTAlNEERS RE-
SENT CHARGE OF CHEATING
MADE BY ITALIANS.

Knoxville, Tenn, June Given
ty-five men were killed last night
at Dante, Va, in a drunken row f.,
precipitated in card game. II is
reported that the dead men are ltal-
ians and mountaineers who made
their home at Dante, a mining town
of about 5000 inhabitants.
The fight in which so many ia
taiities occurred is said to have re-
suited when the Italians charged the
mountaineers with trying to defeat
them at their game by using unfair
methods.
Pistols were brought into play, and
practically every man engaged in
the game is said to have lost his
life. while several bys;ancers who
witnessed the fight also were NOR
tally wounded.
Dante is a new mining town, the
inhabitants being largely Italians,
negroes and mountaineers from
nearby sections It is thought no
negroes were engaged in the fight
