New York Editor Says He'll Tell if the Others Fail
 To Tell It.
SENATORS ARE ACTIVE
Roosevelt Will Not Be Given OppOr- tnnity to Tell His Story For
 Several Weeks

Washington, Aug 2G-Wlliam R. Hearst's announcement that he will tell the whole truth about the 1904 campaign fund if Penrose, Roosevelt and Archbald do not, forced the pas- sage of the Penrose Investigating res- olution in the Senate this afternoon.
 As soon as it became clear to the reactionaries in the Senate that they are poWerless to prevent the publica- tion of all the facts, they ceased their oposition and permitted Senator La Toilette, backed by Penrose to put the measure through. There was no quor- um, but as the resolution was passed make any difference.
 Senator Bailey was the only man who pretended to object and he satis- fled himself with a few observations to the effect that the Senate was in grave danger of violating the constitu- ton. Then he left the cnsmber. Sena- lOI solllOOl Iiduc dIl dltGiipl Dy du VI fered amendment to apply the sresolu- ton to correspondents that dealt di- rectly with political campaigns. This, of course, would have prevented the committee from going into any finan-s cial transactions between Archibald and the members of congress or sena- tors except during the campaign. Mat ters like the Foraker letters could never have been reached under the amendment.
 When Poindexter made vigorous objection Shoot so modified the amendment as to read: Financial transaction and correspondents relat- | ing thereto Thus the resolution was passed.
 I.aFollette declares that he is now perfectly satisfied. He says that he was candidate for presidency in the last primary. The amendment pro- vides for an investigation of that pri- mary and he feels that his personal Integrity IS COHCerHcu.
 Penrose says that he wants the whole truth to come out. He says he has told as much of it as he knows but that he is willing for any more to be brought out that can be discOv- cred. Penrose knows that his own political ruin has been brought about and he is entirely indifferent as to what happens to his brother senators, so long as he can get even with Roosevelt
 It will be impossible to get togeth- CT a quorum of the committee before the latter part of September. so Col- onel Roosevelt will have to wait until then for his time to vindicate himS self officially.

 It was stated last nighj that a delegation of ke!ly's friends will visit the Governor at Little Rock this week and personally urge him to let Alexander go to the galloWs on Fri day. Sheriff Brewster said last night that he Woull not go to Little Rock to confer with the Governor. q nave nothing to say to him regarding the case said the Sheriff last night.

 A message from Ii tie Rock 10 the Graphic last night reported that Sheriff Brewster's letter, informing the Governor of the jury's verdict, has reached the chief executive It says:
 Governor Donaghey today received from Sheriff Edgar Brewster, of Jef- ferson county, a report of the dis agreement Of the special jury he had summoned at Pine Bluff .o inquire into the sanity of w. C. Alexander, condemned to death for the murder of J. P Kelly. The report was not accompanied by any recommendation for clemency, as it had been rumored that he would

As it stands, six men have pronounced Alexander sane and six have pro- n0unced him insane. Should the governor decline to interfere further, under the circumstances Alexander will probably be hanged at Pine Bluff Friday.

 Charges of bribery and corruption against Senator Chiffon and Watson, of West Virginia, which were signed by the governor of West Virginia, were referred to the committee on privileges and elections after a lengthy discussion.
 In the House the adjournment cerc- mony was uneventful. Barely a handful of Democrats and Republi- cans applauded the final address of Speaker Clark, congratulating them for their aid during the session and expressing the hope that they would all return in December.
 Tired out from the all-night vigil Saturday night and angered by the action of the Senate in delaying ad- journment, only about fifty members of the House gathered today out oi the total of 390 to take part in the closing work and these were in fight ing mood.

 F0R S100,000 Widow of Herman Rosen- thai to Ask Damages from Police Lieutenant.
SCHEPPS ARRAIGNED
But Hearing is Postponed at His Own Re4aeSt-!ie Fears the New
 York Police.

New York, Aug, 26.-Action for S1oo,o0o damages is 10 be begun shortly against Police Lieutenant Charles Becker by he widow of Her. man Rcsenthal for the 'loss of her husbands seryces.''
 Attorney M. Hochdorf has been re- tained by Mrs. Lillian Rosenthal for this purpose.
 T shall prepare the papers in this suit against Becker,'' said the law yer, ''on the theory that the murder CTS were acting as his directly h.red employees and on the further ground that the death of Herman Rosenthal Was Intentionally caused at Rockers nstigatien and that Becker must therefore respond in damage for nis wilful sct.'
 Webber, who has confessed that he paid 1000 to the murderers of Ros- enthal was raided today. The man. ager, Kirk Brown, was arrested. Other gambling houses have closed since the Rosenthal investigation be- gan but Webber's place has been in full blast every night despite the fact tha- the owner is in the west side prison
 Sam Schep2s was erraigned today and his bearing adjourned until Sep tember at his own reques,. Schepps is in mortal fears that the police or the gangsters will get him" if he is. released.
 James E. Marks, Republican lead CT in the Third Assembly District an- nounced ;oday that Police Lieuten- ant Becker, accused of inssigating the murder of Rosentnal had made $125,- 900 in the past year, honestly in stock speculations and not ill graft. Marks declared he would give testi- mony naming the deals by which this money was made when Becker comes to ,rial.
 Acting Captain Arthur V. Bloster was removed from the Fourth In- special District today and reduced to desk duty in one Of the station houses. Charges also were filed against Inspec, or Cornelius E. Hayes and his hearing will be rushed.
 More Becker bank accounts We're found and an additional graft fund of $100,000 year from gang of wire tappers came to light. This gang. which was given monoply of the wire tapping fake in New York in consideration of large payment yearly, cleared many times. tlis amount from wealthy ou -of-town visi ,ors who were too chargined to repor5 their losses.
 It was learned today that John T. Kirwan, real estate dealer is par, owner in the Lincoln Hotel, a we'll l known red light resort. Notwith- | standing this, KirWan is a membe of the grand jury drawn by Justice Mccall to investigate graft between 1 the disOrderly and gambling houses and police. The information was laid before District Attorney Whitman and it is probable that Klrwan will be proven ed from serving on the grand jury.

WILLIAM LOEB
 STICKS ID TEDDY Former Presidents Secre- tary Enters Roosevelt corelyou Controversy. HE MADE THE DEMAND Says He Was Present at Conference Between Roosevelt, and F..
 H. Hartman.
HE MADE THE DEMAND

New York, Aug. 2G-William Loeb, Jr., collector of the port of New York by appointment of President Taft came out boldly today in vigorous de- fense of Colonel Roosevelt against the attack being made upon the ex- president ill the double-barreled con troversy raging over the contribution to the Roosevelt campaign fund of 1904 by the Standard Oil Company and by B. H. Hartman.
 He says it was he, and not Presi- dent Roosevelt, whose secretary he then was, to whom George B. Cortel- you as chairman of the Republican National committee gave positive as- surance that the Standard Oil Com- pany, had made no contribution to the campaign. MT. Loeb also made the further astonishing, statement that in stead of Roosevelt asking Hartman for assistance the latter at the famous White House interview had urged the president to cause National Chairman Cortelyou forthwith to give financial help to the New York state commit tee in order to save the state ticket.
 q am making this statement only in the interest of truth" declared Col lector Loeb to a reporter for the ln- ternational News Sertice. q have not publicly discussed either of these sub jects before,S' he went on, because had not thought it necessary to do so. When I visited Col. Roosevelt at Saga more Hill Sunday afternoon I volun- tarily offered to give out for the first time a correct account of both incl dents.
 q was present through the entire interview E. H. Hartman had in the White House with President Roosevelt on the eve of the election in 1904. was his private secretary and the president made it practice to have me present at every important poli- tical interview he had with visitors. I remember clearly the spirit and the result of the Hartman interview on that occasion Mir. Hartman assur- ed that he (Mr Roosevelt was certain to be elected but that the, state ticket in New York headed by Higgins was in grave danger and that it was in the i power of President Roosevelt alone to save it.
 MT. Hartman complained that al though he had more than once asked National Chairman Cortelyou to trans fer to the New York state committee sum of money from his treasury to meet the exigency of the state situa- ton, MT. Cortelyou had declined to do so and insisted that the president should direct MT. Cortelyou immedi- ately to hand over the money where l it was imperatively needed. The l president told MT. Hartman he would comply with his request.
 CT do not now recollect the amount of money MT. Hartman asked for or what I told MT. Cortelyou was needed' Of the Standard Oil Company matter, he said, My memory is quite clear and distinct. I remember that two letters and telegram President Roose- welt had sent to Chairman Cortelyou instructing him to return forthwith to the Standard Oil Company any con- ] tribution that concern may have made to his campaign
