+BECAUSE COMMITTEE DID
I NOT LET HIM CRY LIAR,
Gives Out Leugthy Statement in
Which He Criticises Every Per.

Seems to Be of the Opinion the
Committee Should Hurry to

which he would have testified He so
declared tonight in a statement in
which he also took the committee 10

about the s25. 900 he contributed 10 the
Republican campaign committee in
Pennsylvania in 1904. Colonel Roose-

Senator Clapp when the reporters Wis

mittee's inability to have him appear
before II tomorrow, he was greatly
chagrined. he said. Also. he added,
the Senate need not bother about con-
fering additional powers on the COM
mittee IL they wanted TO find out
about his primary campaign. his rela-
tions with George W. Perkins and
Vim. Finn, the Pittsburg leader. or
any other matters connected with his
primary campaign; or, for that mat
ter. anything that he had ever done as
President.
Colonel Roosevelt said that last
night he had seen George Il. Cortelyou.
who was Republican National Chair
man in 1904.

about me"
Teddy Does More Talking.
In his statement tonight, Colonel
Roosevelt. I'm part. says:

tify tomorrow amounts. as the Demo
cratic and Republican friends OF Mr..
Penrose. Mr. Lorimer and Mr.. Arch
bold in the Senate of course know. 10
rendering IL almost impossible for me
to appear later without having the
most serious dislocation OF my an
nounced plans. The incident is espe-
cially significant. as showing the way
IN which the interests OF which Mr..
Penrose and Mr.. Archbold and their
like speak. have joined in their as
sault on the progressives apd on me.
Their real hostility is reserved for
me and the progressive party.
Mad az Penrose.
Remember that the charge against
Mr.. PcnrOse and that that has not
been investigated although the evi.
dence on that charge was direct. All
that has been investigated has been
the counter charge as 10 which there
was not and never will be because
there cannot be- one shred OF evidence
direct or indirect All that has been
produced IL malicious and Injurious
hearsay gossip given at second hand.
As far as I can make out the accus-
alton by Messrs. Penrose and Arch
bold really is that a Contribution was
made for the improper purpose % &C.

FORMER GOVERNOR
OF WYOMING DIES
IN THE ANT|PODES
William A. Richards, Whose
Health Was Wrecked by
Tragedy, Passes Away.

A cablegram to, Senator Warren from
Prof. Elwood Mead, head OF the irri-
CATION work in Australia. announces the
death at Melbourne, Australia, yester-
day Of William A. Richards, formerly
commissioner Of the General Land Of
'fice and also governor OF Wyoming for
four years. The cablegram stated that
Prof. Meade is leaving with the body on
the steamer Sonoma.
All his life Governor Richards has
been closely associated with the growth
and development of the State OF wyom-
ing. As q young surveyor he ran the
boundary lines Of the State, and upon
the admission Of wyoming into the
Union. he became its first stSveyor
general.
In 1894 he was first elected governor.
On February II, 1899. he was ap-
pointed assiStant commissioner In the
General Land Office, and was promoted
to commissioner June 26, 1908. He served
until the end OF the Roosevelt Admins
tration.
About a year ago one of Mr.. Rich
ards married daughters and her hus-
band were found dead on a ranch in
Wyoming, all the Indications leading to
the belief that they had been the VIC
Tins OF a murder. The tragedy affected
the health Of the former governor, and
since that time he has been gradually
failing,
