ONLY SMALL PART TOLD

Washington, Aug 23.-John d. Arch
bold of the STANDARD Oil company will
appear to-day before the Senate sub
committee investigating campaign con-
tributions. The announcement he would
appear followed day of bitter political
recrimination on the floor of the Senate
yesterday.
1t revealed an effort to show that
Roosevelt knew of funds contributed
by big corporations to his campaign in
1904.
The attack OH Roosevelt originated in
a eolloquy between Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,, a Democrat, and Senator Penrose
OF Pennsylvania. who presented resolu-
ton demanding an investigation of the
circumstances set forth in his sta tement
in the Senate Wednesday, wherein he
charged that 100000 of Standard Oil
money was spent in 1904 for the Roose-
welt campaign fund with Roosevelts
knowledge.
Senators Penrose Reed and Williams
each attacked Roosevelt Senator Poin-
dexter of Washington, Progressive
party supporter, came to Roosevelt's
defense, charging that combination OF
regular Republicans and Democrats was
working to defame Roosevelt"
A new element was injected into the
political mbrogllo when Senator Pen
rose told Senator Reed that it had come
to his tPenrose's) notice that informa-
ton leading to the thought that some
S3,000,000 was underwritten by George
w Perkins and his associates" to NOM
mate Roosevelt for the presidency at
the regular Republican party convention
in the present campaign.
Evidence regarding this will be submit
ted to the proper Senate committee for
its consideration.

Army En|istments
Are On The Increase
(By United Press.)

Washington. Oct Army enlist.
ments during the last few months
have taken a sudden and surprising
increase, according to War Depart
ment figures just given out. Despite
the fact that the summer months are
always duh recruiting periods, 2,075
men elisted in the regular service of
the army during July. One reason
which might be assigned to large in
crease in recruiting is the new enlist
mcnt law which goes into effect on
November l. This law provides that
every man onlisting after that date
must complete four years of actual
service and then must hold himself
IN readiness as a reserve for three
moro years He may be summoned at
any time 10 serve in the event of war
or the immnence of war. Doubtless,
many men who have been considering
service in the army but who at the
same time, do not wish to be held UNI
der obligation for so long period
haYe taken advantage of the opportun-
ity to enter before the law goes into
effect, thus avoiding the three years
reserve duty.

Cummins, of Iowa, openly in the field
and evidence hourly growing that
Theodore Roosevelt also is to be a
candidate for the presidential nomin-
alton, Republicans here today are con-
fronted with a curiously complex po-
litical situation.
President Taft will arrive here to-
night from New Haven and probably
will confer with New York state lead
ers of the "old guard" Colonel Roose-
welt today is at his office here for the
first Saturday in many months. His
presence in the city is believed to be
significant, in view of the declaration
by Ex-Governor Fort and Everett Col
by, of New Jersey, who, after a visit
to Roosevelt, declared the former pres
ident can be expected soon to admit
that he will be candidate, "if draft
ed"
Cummins' announcement of his can
didacy is taken to indicate that he is
convinced that the Administrations
grip upon the Southern delegates is
breakable. He expects a -for-all
fight in the convention.
The New York World declares today
that a breach has come between Taft
and Postmaster-General Hitchcock,
following the discovery that Hitch
cock was lining up with the Southern
delegates, so that they can be used II
needed against Taft" When the story
was called to the presidents attention
at New Haven he refused to make any
comment.
