AMERICAN VICE CONSUL
KILLED At CARTAGENA
VIM. BRUCE MacMAsTERs, DEATH
REPORTED NO DETAILS
YET AT WASHINGTON

Washington, Aug. 14.-WilIian
Bruce MacMaster, American vice con-
sui at Cartagena, Colombia, has been
shot and killed. Dispatches to the
state department today reporting the
death do not say whether it was an
accident or murderous assault. An
investigation Is being made.
Mr.. MacMaster was killed last Sun
day while hunting" according to the
report of the state department. An
attack upon his life two years ago
and the strain imposed upon bis re-
lations with the Colombian judicial
authorities because of his efforts to
punish the would-be assassins excites
the suspicion of officials here as to
the cause of his death.
About two years ago, because he
had killed a native in self-defense,
MacMaster was attacked by several
Colombians and dangerously wounded.
He was arrested on the charge OF
murder, and though acquitted by a
lower court, was found guilty and gen.
fenced to imprisonment by an appel
late tribunal.
The United States government IN
tervened and secured new trial,
which resulted in his acquittsE .in
June, 1911, but he had ever since been
fearful Of further violence.
Mr. Masalaster was born in CoIAm.
bia Of American parents In 1875 He
was educated N the United States.

scheop Hiding.

Hot Springs, Ark, Aug. 14.-While
1t is practically certain that Sam
Schepps, held as witness in the Ro-
senthal murder case is not far from
the business district here, he has not
been seen by newspaper men since
his removal from a downtown hotel
last night.
The return OF Schepps in the cCs-
tody Of Fred Johnson was merely fof
precaution. Whitmans representatives
are expected here soon.
The train on which the represen-
tatives of the district attorney of
New York are expected to arrive Is
reported late.
In the event conflicting efforts are
made to get Schepps,it became known
today that Postmaster Fred Johnson
stands ready to file charge against
Schepps before United States COM
missioner here. This would cause de-
lay which would permit the arrival
of the district attorneys men, COR
whom all concerned here say they re
holding Schepps.
The start of Bernard Sander, at
torney for Schepps, for Hot Springs
may, however, delay the delivery OF
the prisoner to any person until Sand
Ter himself arrives. 1t is pointed eut
that Schepps is held without legal
process. He understands his position
and has repeatedly declared himself
satisfied with conditions.

ROOSEVELT DID KNOW OF HAIR
RIMAN CONTRIBUTIONS BE-
FORE ELECTION.
THAT HARRI MAN DINNER
Sum of 100000 of the Amount Went
Into New York by Arrangement
Report Causes Much Surprise in Po-
IiticaI Circles.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Theodore
Roosevelt in 1904 invited Edward
Hartman to the white house to talk
about political campaign funds, and
a few days after this talk the rail-
way dnancier raised $4,000 and
turned it over to the republican ma
tional committee, according to de Ia
rations made today to the special
senate committee of inquiry, by Ben.
B. Odell, former governor of New
York.
Mr.. Odells story of the Hartman
contribution was so different from
that told by George R. Sheldon that
the committee asked for an explana-
tion. Odel replied that Cornelius
Bliss, republican treasurer in 1904,
might have told some white lies
to Mr.. Sheldon with whom he was
unofficially associated. Mr.. Sheldon
became treasurer of the 1903 cam
paign. He had testified that Mr..
Bliss and Mr.. Hartman arranged for
the contribution and that President
Roosevelt did not know about it until
after the election.
Odell testified that of Harriman's s
contribution 100000 was spent in the
New York state campaign.
Roosevelt Caused 1t.

chairman of the state committee that

supposed the president wanted.
Il told him my opinion was that
Mr.. Roosevelt wanted to consult with
him as to New York and the financial
condition of the national committee.
''Mr. Hartman said he did not want
to go, but after talking it over he
told me he would
''Mr. Hartman came to Washington
and few days afterwards I again
lunched with him. continued Mr..
OdelI.
HE told me that the president was
anxious about the financial condition
of the national committee and would
like to have Mr.. Harriman's help"
Mr.. Odell detailed the subsequent
transactions that led up to the actual
contribution of $24O,00O.
Mr. Odell said that in 1904 an ar
rangement was reached between him
self and the national committee, rep
resented by Mr.. Cortelyou and Mr.
Bliss, which provided that the com
mittee was to give the New York
state committee 100000.
During the campaign he received
100000 of the amount. Then Mr.
Cortelyou told him the national COM
mittee could not deliver the remand
err Mr.. Odell said he was sure both
state and national tickets would win,
'but what embarrassed" him was that
he had promised district chairmen
along the Hudson and in the Long
Island counties (2,300 districts, con-
tanning 100000 voters) the 100000
owed him by the national commit
tee.
Mr.. Harriman's contribution solved
the dilemma.

STEEL BILL WAS
VETOED BECAUSE
NO PROTECTION

FOR ITS PROVISIONS FOR
REVENUE ONLY.
IS NO FAIR TO EITHER
Affects Millions in Stocks of Store
keepers and Distributors Says
More Vetoes are Coming in Near
Future.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Within three
hours after President Taft had sent
back the steel tariff bill to congress
with message of disapproval, the
house today passed it over his veto
The vote was 173 to pass it. SO
against it, and one present and not
voting. 1t is not expected to repass
the senate
In a message to congress the pres
ident said he disapproved the meas
ure, because it provided for revenues
only, and took no account of protec-
tion for American industries. He
condemned the ways and means COM
mittee for refusing public hearings on
the bill. His veto was expected.
MIR. Taft gave as another reason
for his veto that the bill affected not
only the iron and steel industry, but
fifty-nine allied industries, which, he
said, were worthy of separate classi-
fications.
Mr.. Taft wrote he was not prepared
to say there were no items in the
steel schedule which might not vel
be reduced, but he pointed out that
its ad valorem rate of duty was an
apparent reduction of Is per cent
from the duties of the Wilson law.
Changes Not Explained.
A bill for complete revision of
this schedule was presented to me a
year ago in the extra session of this
congress-" wrote the president MANY
increases and decreases of rates are
now made from those named in the
former measure. The changes are not
explained and indicate the hasty
method pursued in the preparation in
both. Is it not fair to ask either on
the basis of protection or revenue
which was right?'
"On the whole, therefore, I am not
willing to approve any legislation Of
this kind, which vitally affects not
only millions of the workingmen and
families dependent on them, but hun
dreds of millions of dollars worth oi
stocks of goods in the hands of store
keepers and distributors generally
without first providing for careful
and disinterested inquiry into the con-
ditions of the whole industry.
