Washington. D. c., Sept. 30.--The
senate subcommittee renewal of pres
idential campaign contributions today
marked the beginning of hearings that
are expected to bring many of the
leading financiers, politicians and can
didates to the witness stand during
the next two months,
s- Roosevelt and Pierpont Morgan are
scheduled to step into the spotlight
later this week, the financier appear
ing Thursday and Roosevelt Friday.
Ormsby McHarg OF North Dakota,
contest manager for Roosevelt at the
Chicago convention and who organ
ized the south for the colonel, was on
hand when the committee convened
today His story of the preconvention
campaign and Of the contests he man
aged for Taft in the 1908 campaign
are expected to be the chief testimony.
c. c. Tegthoh, secretary Of the late
e. Fl. Hartman, and Charles A. Pea
body, Mrs. Harriman's personal coun-
sci, we're to produce papers that might
have a connection with the alleged
raising of the $250,00O in Wall street
by Hartman for the Roosevelt fund in
1904.
Cornelius n. Bliss, jr.. son of the
treasurer of the republican campaign
duce papers in the files of his faith
er's estate bearing on the charge that
Roosevelt acquiesced in the accept
ance of 100000 from the STANDARD
Oil interests and in the further de-
mand for $150,000 from the same
source.
Bliss on the stand said he was the
executor of his fathers estate and had
the sole custody of his papers. In re-
ply to Clapp's query as to whether he
found any papers bearing on the cam
paign funds handled by his father
Bliss said the records didn't show any
contribution by John G. Archbold or
the Standard Oil Co.
The members of the committee ex-
amined the records and no names of
contributors appeared. Bliss then was
asked to read his fathers letter OF
resignation to Harry S. New, which
set forth that the late Bliss held as
confidential the names Of contributors
and the amounts of contributions In
| the last four presidential campaigns In
which / have acted as treasurer"
The letter added that the republican
committee receipts in 1900 were q triflt
below $4,000, 900; in 1895, 900
and in 1892, S1.600,00o."
Under examination, Bliss said thai
| his father told him he had allowed

| the republican national committee X
| be destroyed because he, the Older
Bliss, believed the records useless. TIL,
books contained, he said, the names
and amounts from the various con

called. He said. when questioned, tha
he knew nothing Of any contribution;
by the STANDARD Oil Co to the repub

was informed by H. H. Rogers that tn,

Lawrence, Mass, Sept. 30.-Indus-

there are thousands in the textile mills
of New England, are aroused to a Bit

tor and Arturo Giovannitti, two of
their leaders who were arrested dur
ing the Lawrence strike last winter,
charged with being accessories to tho
murder of Annie Lopezzi, who was hit
with a bullet during strike riot. The
trial is set for Sept. 80.
This trial. which has been the sub
ject Of demonstrations in italy Eng
land and the United States, promises
to be a historic one. The superior
court has summoned a panel of 800
talesmen from which to select a jury,
This is the largest plumber of tales

sex county. Ettor and Giovannitti
have been in Jail since early in Feb
ruary last, having been refused lib

AS a result of their imprisonment a
Dead or Alive society has been formed
by about 5000 textile workers in New
York, New Jersey and Massachusetts,
the purpose of which is for every
member to suffer death rather than

to call to all workingmen of America
to strike as protest. Discussing the
trial Haywood said: &e.5
f'Wa are not acting hastily in CALL
ing q strike. The labor world has been
more wrought up by the imprisonment
of these men than by anything in
years. 1t is causing agitation in for

feel that it is now time Ito take the
most radical step.
"These men are held In jail, al

who say they saw a policeman shoot
Annie Lopezzi.
"This call will mean a walk-out in
the steel Industry. We have positive
assurance that the steel workers will

the workers will go out.

About year ago the Lisbon Com
merciai club offered prizes aggregat-
ing the sum of 500 TO the boys under
II years of age in Ransom county
who would raise the best corn, the re-
uuirement being that there must be
at least one acre in the plot and that
each boy must work his own field.
On Saturday afternoon at the Lis
bon corn festival, which is held for
the people of Ransom county, Thomas
Cooper of this city, secretary and di-
rector of the North Dakota Better
Farming association, had the pleas
ure of awarding the prizes, and he
was astonished and delighted with the
result.
The first prize, which went to Har-
per Brush. was greatly deserved The
lad had gone out and worked for farm
Hfs so as to be able to secure a team
and plow to do the work on his place
and he was literally rewarded for his
efforts, for in addition to receiving the
first prize of $40 he was offered and ac-
cepted 81 per bushel for his corn Mr.
Cooper states that the corn was fully
matured in each case, but that young
BTush's was away the best
There were eighteen or twenty Ia
the contest and the average for those
who did not win prizes was from forty
10 forty -eight bushels per acre The
Brush boy had worked four acres and
of course, selected the best The low
est yield in the contest was twenty
five bushels
The contest was to be decided at the
time of the corn festival and it was
made a feature of the occasion, and
there was large attendance wher
Secretary Cooper made his presenta-
lion speech
You should have seen the first prize
winners eyes stick out when he re-
ceived the two big double eagles" SAID
Mr.. Cooper, for 1t would have done
you good. He certainly was a pleased
boy. and so were the others. 1t was
flne corn, and / don't Think older peo.
pie could have raised better.
Il am glad to be able to state" con.
tinued Mr.. Cooper, that the Lisbor
Commercial club at the time of the
session announced that it would con.
tinue the contest next year. The boy.
all did good work, but I certainly die
u admire the way in which the winners
must have toiled and / was glad tha
their success was so apparent.
1T only goes to show what can b,
done In the way of growing corn in thi:
state IL the efforts are put forth Il
assist it in growing. The corn that
was raised by the contest will all b,
used as seed corn and will bring good
prices in the market for that pur,
pose."

Many men are wanted for North
Dakota right at the present time to
assist in threshlng the grain.
The Fargo Commercial club has
been receiving many letters within the
past forty eight hours importuning
the club to use its best endeavors to
furnish men and acting on these let.
ters the club held an executive ses-
sion at noon today, in which the SER
ious question of securing men was
discussed at length. 1t was decided
to ask the various newspapers to give
much notice to the fact that harvest
or threshing hands were badly needed,
and Secretary Stine was asked 20
wire to Sioux Falls S. D., to the twin
cities, to the different railroads in ST.
Paul and even to as far away ag Chi
cago, for men.
Every effort will be put forth by the
commercial club TO secure men for
this very necessary work. and 1t ig
hoped in some way to help matters
Most of the letters state that while
the threshers are at work, none of
them, or at least very few of them
have over half crews, while in a very
few there are enough men to man
the machines. In several letters the
statement is made that the machines
are idle because Of the scarcity of
help.

SUGGESTION AND SUICIDE.

That the suggestive effect OF read
ing details Of suicides is a powerful
factor in the causation Of suicide
among susceptible persons is recog-
nized. The suggestion is more likely
TO have influence when in the account
of the suicide some poisonous article
commonly found In households. such
as phenol, Lysol and Rought on Rats,
is named as the agent employed by
the suicide. In New South Wales
newspapers have been asked by the
pharmaceutical board not TO publish
the names of poisens used by suicides.
In several instances leading news
papers have needed this request par
ticularly in connection with Lysol
poisoning cases. which are numerous
in all the states of the commonwealth.
The American Medical Association in
1910. adopted resolutions to the effect
that the publication of details OF cui-
cides in newspapers is one Of The
potent causes OF other Sulclues through
suggestion. and it was recommended
to the public press that the details of
suicides be omitted from publication.
While il is the consensus of opinion
that the publication of details of sui
cides does promote further similar
acts. the newspapers assert that it is
their duty to publish the news, In
adopting this attitude, says The Jour
nal of American Medical Association,
the newspapers are assuming ser
ious responsibility \ definite and
strong expression of public opinion
against this practice would no doubt
have better effect even than legal
enactments.
