President Farrell also said that al
though European manufacturers had an
international organization to control the
price of steel rails, the United States

He denied the steel corporation gave
the Standard Oil company rebates, or
discounts. He stated that the price Of
steel rails probably would be increased,
as the cost Of manufacture had steadily
grown.

Culberson Makes the Charge in Speech
in the Senate.

Washington, Jan. 24.--Demanding an
investigation into the campaign expen-
ditures of 1904 and 1908, Senator Gull
berson yesterday made sweeping charges
of corruption against the Republican
state committee of those and other
years.
Indirectly he charged that foreign am
bassadorships were bestowed as rewards
for campaign contributions. Inferential-
w he charged that former President
Roosevelt had condoned the use of money
in politics.
He also referred to the fact that
George B. Cortelyou in the 1904 cam
paign had been chairman OF the Repub-
lican national committee while he was
secretary of commerce and labor and
intimated that Cortelyou took advantage
of the secrets of the corporations, whose
affairs might be investigated under fed
eral law to procure campaign money.
ut has been estimated" he said, that
the enormous and unconscious sum 81
Sll 100000 was raised and probably ex-
pended that year by the committee of
which he was chairman. The size and
audacity of this fund smacks of eXtor-
ton, prohigacy and corruption"
He went into details regarding the
statements of the late E. II. Hartman,
who had raised fund of 100000, TO
which he himself contributed $4,000, in
support OF the Republican tickets in the
1904 campaign.
Declaring an effort had been made
during the last few weeks to clear up
this charge he added: This attempt
to unload on the dead the abloquy OF
this disgraceful transaction, which is
said to have changed $4,000 votes in New
York City alone, may presage a political
movement of national consequence"

opposed to big public buildings bill at
this session, may not object to the sub
