INDEPENDENT LOAN
PROVED FAILURE
Only About 40 Per Cent of S25,ooo, 900
Was Subscribed by General Public
and Underwriters Got Remainder.

London, Sept. s0.--The issue of the
independent" Chinese loan last week
was a failure so far as the public was
concerned. Only about forty per cent

scribed for by the general public, so
that the underwriters had to take up
the remainder.
Charles Biersh Crisp. head Of thei
syndicate, claims, however, that many
of the underwriters are actually lara
investors to whom the issuers of
big loan generally look for large su
scriptions.

complain If he listens to the siren
dictates of the interests who brought
about his nomination rather than to
the public interests.
In conclusion / want to ask that
the man who is nominated to sue
ceed Mr.. McHugA will be a man who
stands for the same principles and
convictions that Mr.. McHugh stood
for, and which the people approved
by a tremendous vote in the primary
of April 30th.
If a Special Interests man is nomf-
mated and elected, my hands will be
tied In the state senate and I can ac-
complish nothing for the public good,
affecting the Special interests.
I have no particular choice as to
who this man should be. I only ask
that we be saved the humiliation
which we were subjected to at the
last session Of the legislature.

Washington, Sept. 30-AIl corre-
spondence between Theodore Roose-
velt, while he was president, and the
late Edward II. Hartman, the rail-
road rnagnate. from 1901 until Mr..
Harrirnan's difference with Mr.. Roose-
veit In 1906, was placed in evidence to-
day before the senate committee in
vestigating campaign expenditures.
Out of the scores of letters the COM
ndttee. however, obtained but little in
formation on campaign contributions
or on the disputed question whether
Mr.. Roosevelt. while president, specifi-
caIty asked Mr.. Hartman In 1904 to
raise a fund OF $240,00o to aid his
campaign for another term.
@. C. Tegethoff, agent of the Har-
Efnfan estate, and Charles A. Peabody.
president of the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Co. and personal attorney for
Mrs. Hartman, both testified that Mr..
Hartman told them of raising fund
at Mr.. Roosevelt's request. Mr.. Har-
firnan made the same statement be-
fore he died, but it was denied by Col.
Roosevelt.
A letter previously made public by
Mr.. Hartman, which was written to
Sidney Webster on January 2, 1908.
intimating that Mr.. Hartman had
been asked by Colonel Roosevelt to
raise a fund, was placed in evidences.

ytee went into session. Mr.. Bliss
was the first witness. He said he was
an executor of his fathers estate and
had sole custody of his fathers pa
pers.
Have you found any papers bear
ing on the campaign funds handled
by your father?" asked Chairman
Clapp.
Mr.. Bliss placed in evidence re-
port from the auditor who examined
his fathers accounts when he re-
signed as treasurer of the Republican
committee. He said the records did
not show any contribution by John d,
Archbold or the Standard Oil Com
pany. Members Of the committee
examined the records.
No names of contributors to the
1904 campaign fund appeared in the
records. Mr.. Bliss was asked to read
his fathers letter of resignation to
HAIRY S. New, which also had been
Iced in evidence.
The letter set forth that the late
Tfr. Bliss had held as confidential the
names of contributors and the amount
Of their contributions In the last four
presidential campaigns IN which
hava acted as treasurer"
II have persistently refused to make
these reports public" the letter read
because I regard the relations OF
campaign contributions to party COM

right to refuse to make public these
contributions is as sacred as the right
Of a man to cast a secret ballot IN
the election"

ceeded in establishing excellent
means of defense in the way OF
corn cribs, filled to their capacity

their smoke-houses home and have
a surplus of those products that
they once went to the merchant to
