Archbold says that Roosevelt inspired
the on Trust prosecution. The fact is
that 1 myself Initiated IL. The pToseeu-
ton campaign had been planned before
the fall OF 1904, and the field work did
not begin until the following spring.
Instead OF opening the books Of the
Standard oil Company to the bureau
Archbold and the late r. H Rogers
offered the bureau statements that proved
untrue. The facts. developed by the b.
reau were proved in court
The criminal indictments against the
Standard oil concerns in New York were
sustained BY both the lower court and
the United States Circuit Court Of Ap-
peals
Instead of acting hastily on my report.
the President referred IL 10 Attorney Gen
eral Moody and Special Counsel kellosg
who spent weeks examining the facts De-
fore action was taken.
The Roosevelt letter quoted by Carried,
written TO Judge Alton Il. Parker. VINO
had accused Roosevelt and George B Cor
telyou Of clubbing corporations for con-
tributions, read
The assertion that Mr.. CortelyOu had
any knowledge, gained while IN any
official position, whereby he was enabled
to secure and did secure any contIlo4-
ton from any corporation, is ts'se-
hood. The assertion that there has been
any blackman. direct or indirect by NJ.

Cortelyou. or By any one else. any pledge

Penrose knows It to be such when he
makes il.
My first letter, written as soon as |
heard rumor that the Standard OIL
people had contributed. and explicit and
unequivocal In its terms, was written on
October %: my second letter. II possible
even more emphatic on October a. Not
hearing from these letters wired on Oc-
tober %. ] then received from Mr.. Cor
telyou a statement that my wishes would
be compiled with and that no contribu-
tons from the Standard oil people had
been or would be received
II any such contribution was received Il
was not only without my knowledge. but
against my explicit direction. No man
can honestly misunderstood these letters
and no man who Is not dishonest man
can put any Interpretation other than
that which they bear upon the face.
Inc reason that Mr.. Penrose and his
political allies and his hackers and mas
tiers In the world OF finance are against
me now Is because they and their kind
could not use me while / was President.
because, while | treated every politician
and every financier with justice, | de-
clined to do one act for any of them that
was not itself both absolutely proper and
absolutely just. II | had been willing
70 act otherwise, Mr. Penrose and his
allies and his hackers In the world ~
politics and the world OF business word
now be enthusiastically supporting . ne,
instead OF opposing me with an AMER,
hatred and malevolence born OF the TACT
that they We're unable to use me and
that they know II Is hopeless ever to
expect to use me.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-ln reply u
the statement Of Colonel Roosevelt IN
New York to- day Senator Penrose salu
TO night:
colonel Roosevelt's relations with
the standard Oil Company clearly nave
been established. The Standard OH
Company, through John d. Archboid'
contributed $4,000 in the Republican
national campaign Of 1904. Colonel
Roosevelt did not consider that amount
sufficient and demanded al additional
contribution Of $4,000.
"In reply to the disclosure OF these
facts. Colonel Roosevelt submits let
ter which, in police circles, would be
known as a frame up and an attack
upon me personally. The exposure OF
Colonel Roosevelts negotiations Win
the STANDARD oil Company are such
that the frcnzied cry Of liar Will not
satisfy the people.

SMITH ENTERS DENIAL
Declares Archbold's Story I'm
founded and False

hartford. Conn. Aug %" Really,
that's funny Well, perhaps that part
about nv being the puppet is correct
laughed Herbert Knox Smith. formerly
federal Commissioner OF Corporations
lust az he was leaving for thiru paI''
rallv in New Britain tonight wheh he
was asked about John -. Archbold les
timony in Washington.
"But. seriously. Mr.. Archbolds impu-
tations in his testimony are unfounded
md false" continued Mr.. Smith. The
Cornoration Bureau under Roosevelt
never made it's attacks and adverse re-
ports on the Standard Oil Company IN
order to put that corporation In nad
Iignt before the courts and Legislative
,,odies Since 1906 the Standard Oh
Company has been in court all the time,
and the reports could not nave Deen held
back on that account
Concerning Mr.. Archbold's testimony
that President Roosevelt unfailinsly APP
,r,,.ed those attacks without investiga-
tion and without the slightest knowledge
Of the facts. and that there was more
than a coincidence in the appearance Oh
adverse governmental reports every time
tho Standard oil Company was concerned
in litigation OF every time legislation APP
peared in Washington in which the COM
many was interested, the former Com
missioner said:
The first report Of the Bureau Of Com
merce and Labor was printed IN 1910, on
The railway rebate system, showing tng
tremendous privileges the standard Oh
Company was enjoying on the railroads
The direct result of that report was the
bringing OF the Standard OIL Company
into court on criminal indictment as
q result OF those rebates. and the stand
ard Oil Company has been In court ever
since, period Of six years.
The holding up of the reports would
have the effect of postponing the court
proceedings, and the bureau was actust-
ed by no motive such as imputed to IL
by Mr. Archbold
| will point out that the Standard Oil
Company had been in court all the time
and the adverse reports would never
have been made after the one in 1906 up
to the present time If occasion had been
awaited when the Standard Oil was not
in court.
As matter OF fact. the bureaus re-
port at the time of the $4,000 900 fine
on the Standard oil was held back for
time so as not to have the appearance
OF being made at an inopportune time.
In reference to the allegations that
whenever Standard Oil had matters be-
fore the courts or in Congress attacks
came from the Bureau of Corporations,
have no specific information regarding
the truth or falsity Of that statement
but it was to the credit OF the bureau
that il did not concern itself with Stand
ard OIL matters except as those matters
were properly and legally before It, The
bureau did not bother with Standard OIL
affairs, except In so far as those. matters
had developed in the Investigations fol-
lowing the original rebate report
President Roosevelt had a thorough
knowledge OF the contents of the reports
and read with care complete summaries
of each before giving them his approval

buttons and asserted emphatically thal
he never offered 70 underwrite mayor

Senator Pcnrose's charge that part OF the
alleged S3.OO0OQo fund had been used 70
buy up negro delegates from the south
and I'm working up sentiment for eX-Pres-
ident Roosevelt, he grew contemptuous
and exclaimed:
