@. Who was in charge of the Hi

A. Lawrence B. Stringer, who is run

Q. | see in this report that you say
$4,000 was all of the money spent in
Illinois. Do you mean to say that that
was the total expenditures in that
| state?
a. | think 1t was.
McCombs then stated that the total
expenditures of the Wilson men in the
| pre- convention campaign amounted to
S20S.1S3J5, thus a deficit of nearly

Senator Oliver was particular to dis
close the identity of the princeton
friends" who contributed TO the $4,000
| fund accredited to Cleveland & Dodge.

He said that $4,000 was sent into
Illinois and that he was certain that
the pre- convention expenditures in
Governor Wilson's interest in that state
did not exceed that amount.
Senator Pomerene took up the ques-
tionins.
.. Who is Henry Morgan THAI?
A. He is in the real estate business
in New York city. He was introduced
to me as an enthusiastic Wilson man,
whose only interest was in seeing Gov
ernor Wilson elected president He
gave me Four checks, totalling $4,000.
McCombs told the committee that he
had no money to finance the Dakota
primaries and that he gave a personal
pledge to guarantee an expenditure of
$4,000 by the local committee in that
state.
McCombs said that lin states like
| Connecticut in which there were no
primaries and in which we did not feei
that Wilson had good chance. we
spent very little money
No Promises Made.
There is not a dollar upon that
statement which reflects any promise

There had been no representation made
except that this country needs a man

could not carry Illinois and we consid-
cred that money sent there would be

AUTOGRAPH TELLS A TALE.
Character Of the Kaiser Revealed to

His Signature.

There iS always certain amount Of
interest attached to the deductions
drawn by graphologists from the sig.
natures of eminent men. Here. for
example, is an illuminating description
OF the kaiser's autograph, supplied by
an eminent Berlin graphologist:
ITO begin with, there Is crochet, q
sign of pertinacity, followed by verti.
cal dash, showing audacity, energy. re-
CARELESS OF any obstacle. Then there
is an acute angle. a sign OF frmness
and aggressiveness. The first stroke
OF the w indicates feeling of supe.
riority over tho rest of the uni.
verse. The termination OF the impe-
rial w suggests that the sovereign
sometimes finds himself struggling
with the multitude OF his thoughts, or
the power Of his instincts.
The other letters forming the sigma
ture show similar characteristics, the
graphologist proceeds. 1.-THE Anal M
is indicative OF great diplomacy, which
to the analyst suggests subtlety. The
letter also suggests the impossibility
OF the suppression of the ego Tho
flourish which terminates the imperial
autograph shows suppleness of spir-
1t, a desire to be loved, also self-es

The two terminating points indi-
cate defiance and generally the char
acteristics are those OF an extraor

To the Editor of The Gate City:
There is nothing in the NJ w. A.
camp charter which provides for the
use of the general fund of the camp
to fiSht tie proposed raise in rates.
Thus recently decided Peoria
judge. when two Peoria camps were
enjoined from thus using their gen
eral fund when they had voted unani-
mously so to do. Was there ever a
more absurd ruling? No, truly there
was nothing in the charter providing
for such use of general funds and
nothing said against using them for
that purpose, because, according TO
representations then made, the rates
would never be changed" these are
the rates, you'll never have to pay
any more" No raise was contempla-
ted when charters were issued, then
what need to say anything about it
at that time. On his basis the said In
junction don't amount to much.
The general fund belongs to the
camp to be expended for the camps
needed expenses and it is nobody's
business-not even the head camps
for what the money is spent. AT the
same time the head officers are using
the money Of the members to put
burdensome rates upon the latter
which may wreck the order, and the
members If they try to say a word
against it, are called "mercenaries.
and the camps are called on by the
head officers to drum them out of
the order See Woodman paper.

who are the servants? Will some OF

the big dam had multiplied into doz-
