Chicago, July 16.-Roger c. Sullivan
gave members OF the democratic ma

about Yesterday when, after the Wood

serious consideration to this problem
without delay"
There are twenty-four new members
OF the committee. many of whom, II
their startled countenances indicated
their feelings, had never heard a mill

hand way. One moved to adjourn.
The motion was about to carry when
Josephus Daniels OF North Carolina
suggested a recess until o'clock, at
which hour he proposed the financial
situation should be discussed. The sub
stitute prevailed.
When the committee reconvened ev-

to get the million quickly. The vet

OF Minnesota, sat back. smiled, and
listened. Some proposed taxing every

An,o UNITS Contributed to Democratic
National Campaien-Advancsd Funds
to Start Work Of Committee.

Washington, July ia quarter Of
million dollars was the estimate
which August Belmont, testifying to-
day before the senate committee in
vestigating campaign contributions.
placed upon his contribution to the
democratic national campaign In 1904.
He was not sure that that was the
sum, but was satisfied to let 1t go
at that"
MY habit has been that II I feel re-
sponsible for anything my obligation
is measured by dollars and cents" said
Mr.. Belmont. when Senator Parker
asked If his large contribution en-
barrassed him. Mr.. Belmont was
member OF the campaign executive
committee that year.
Advanced Money to Committee.
Mr.. Belmont told first of advancing
$4,000 to the democratic national
committee He said he had been reim-
bursed $4,000.
"These committees always start out
that way" he explained. "They ask
for advances and then begin to raise
funds. Later they reimbursed me SO
that the balance Of $4,000 only was a
contribution"
The capitalist member said he had
paid two small items" OF $1,000 each
to Maurice Cucor, Hungarian leader
in New York.
Difficulty in Remembering.
Senator Jones asked Mr.. Belmont for
the total Of his contribution. The
Witness thought he could not remem-
be:.
"was 1t more than s5o,ooo?"
"Oh. yes"
lone hundred thousand?"
at must have been more than that.
"Was it $c50000?" persisted Senator
Jones.
II doubt it, tried to remember but
l find can not" said MIR. BeiMont.'A
Senator Jones tried new tack
Did you contribute by cash OF
check?"
VERY often by cash."
"And check?" asked Senator Painter.
Seldom by check. / can't remember
the exact amount but / am satisfied
with an estimate Of $250,00o"
Campaign Fund Over 100000.
Mr.. Belmont was unable to give an
accurate estimate of the total Of the
fund at the disposal of the democratic
national committee in 1904. When Sen
ator Clapp asked If it We're million
dollars he guessed 1T was not more
than $500, 900 or 100000.
