pENROSE'S STATEMENT
FALSE SAYS ROOSEVELT

Wilkesbarre, IA, Aug. 22.-An al
tack on Senator Penrose was made by
Col. Roosevelt after he read the sena
tors statement today. Col. Roosevelt
quoted from letters and telegraias
which he had sent 10 Gcoigc Il. Cor
! telyou. chairman of the Republican ma
tiohal committee in 1904, TO prove tLai
no contributions had been accepted
from the Standard oil
"Perrose and his allies and the en-
tire crowd Of crooked politicians. and
crooked lnanciers who attemptej ia
make these attacks upon me" said
the Colonel have made them and ard
making them rot only knowing that
they are false, bor hecacsc they know
the forces behind me and which / at
this time represent are the only forces
which the crooked politicians and
crooked fnanciers of ;he country have
cause TO fear.
The only part of Penrose's state
ment that needs comment by me is
the portion in which it is asserted 4
had been advised of a heavy campaign
contribution from Archibald or behalf
Of The Standard Oil TO the Republican
national committee and that ! directly
or indirectly requested a contribution
from Archibald ana associates interest
ed in standard Oil This statement Is
false"
Penrose Wants Probe
Washington. Aug. 32. Senator Pen
rose today asked the Senate TO direct
the Clapp committee Investigating
campaign contributions. To investigate
the charges contained i'm his sensation
al speech yesterday in connection with
;he Penrose Archibald correspondence.
He asked that the committee be dt-
rected to call as witnesses "all persons
mentioned in the speech" Roosevelt IS
among the number The motion was
temporarily laid over.
The demand of Penrose that the
charges be investigated is believed 20
he the first step towards revelations
concerning campaign contributions. At
the conclusion of the request, Pen
rose held "A conversation with LaFol-
lette and Reed concerning the proposal
TO have the committee look into all
contributions t. the campaign fInds
of candidates for presidential nominal
tions this year and their expenditure
He expects To offer resolution

nature of their flesh these ducks are unfit for

winter the venturesome person who will scale
the side of the pile may see in the dark water
only few yards beyond one of the most beauti
full ducks known to the bird kingdom The
golden eye, or whistle wing, frequents the cold
waters of Lake Michigan all through the winter
and comes close to the shore. 1t is seldom that
more than four five together, and
oftener single pair will be found. If the pro-
lection which the male apparently tries to
tend to the female during all times of the year
be a basis for Judgment, these birds remain
mated for life
The golden eye almost invariably places him
self between his genter companion and danger
and when they are swimming or flying to new
foraging places he invariably leads the way.
The movement of their wings is rapid that
it produces musical whistling audible at
great distance. Because of the rapdity of their
flight the Indians call them spirit ducks believ
ing that some supernatural aid is given them to
add to the swiftness of their iourneyings.
The best of the bird scavengers acting the

ter are the herring, the ring-billed gulls The
herring gull is a big grayish creature, almost
pure white if he is three years DID, with black
tips to his wings The young of the first year
are notified gray entirely different in appearance
from their parents. The result of this difference
is that people looking at winter flock of the
guls think that it contains several species. The
lagoons in Jackson and Lincoln Parks often
fairly covered with these birds, provided heavy
storm is coming in from the eastward.
A misunderstanding bird is the kittewake gull.
1t does not look as if it could stand the rgors
of lake winter weather for day, and yet neither
storm cold succeeds in chilling its optimism
in abating its industry The kittewakes have
been in the lake off Chicago in winter, and here
they doubtless occasionally have remained until

bird lover considers it pathological
epoch when he sees great black-backed gull.
The persistent and careful observer who cares
nothing for weather conditions may find this rare
creature perhaps the largest Of gulls, if he
will but keep a constant watch along the lake

occasions in winter. Its name gives a good de-
scrption of it 1t is sometimes known grew.
