FIRES LAST
SHOT At ROOSEVELT
Chairman Of Steel Committee An
swers Colonel's Thrusts.
REVELATIONS NOT SURPRISING
He Says Former President is Nov
Trying to, Carry Ont Pet
Prejects OF Archbela and l
Rodgers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. A--Chairman
Stanley Of the house Steel trust i'm
yestigating committee. fired a farewell
broadside at Former President Roosevelt
today shortly before congress adjourned
in reply to the .colonels Characterization
Of the work of the committee as foolish
and futile" Mr.. Stanley charged that the
former, president desired no legislation
that would curb capital or monopoly, and
that he had failed to take any position
with reference to the dissolution or the
control of the Harvester trust or the
United States Steel corporation. Mr.
Stanley declared that, "the late revelations
Of the relations between Colonel Roose-
welt and the Standard OIL company should
surprise nobody" He insisted that for
years Mr.. Roosevelt had kept In touch
with wealthy men and "approachable poll
ticians Of the same stripe.
The worst part Of it," he continued,
'is not that Mr.. Roosevelt shared the
plunder Of this lawless monopoly The
money was collected and spent; that Is
ancient 0lSIOTy. HG hStVhAuAno "N
menacing phase of the situation is not
that he once had access to the purse OF
the Standard Oil company, but that he Is
now attempting with an audacity charac-
teristic OF Roosevelt alone to carry out
to the letter the pet policies of H, H.
Rogers and John d. Archbold. Roosevelt
is In way thorough progressive He
is far in advance of hts former party as
sociates in his energy and audacity in
this propaganda for the licensing Of or
eanized lawlessness."
Launching into bitter attack on the
bureau of corporations, Mr. Stanley de-
clared an investigation had proved 1t to
be the creation Of the interests.
The whole infamous thing was incu-
bated in Wall street." he said
Concluding, Mr. Stanley said the great
danger to the country In the ascendancy
Of Colonel Roosevelt was not that he
was the recipient of dirty money SO much
as he was the proponent OF dangerous
policies"

CIRCUS SEASON NEARS END
Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben Stage Per-
formance but Three Times More.
RIP-RoARING FUN IS PROMISED
Nebraska Bankers Come Monday
Night, with Lincoln q Week
Later and Omaha mt the
Seasons Finiah.

Only three more performances OF Ak
Sar- -Ben's dazzling, stupendous circus re-
main on the schedule for 1917, and un-
doubtedly not another of Its kind will be
seen after the third and last one, unless,
by some chance, the knights decide to re-
| turn to It,
| So. with only three more, Gus RENEE,
Dad Weaver and the board Of governors
| have resolved to make them the most
gorgeous and glorious shows the knights
have ever staged--the grandest finale for
the greatest season the organisation has
had.
The first OF these three performances Is
for the bankers of Nebraska. They will
be here-more than 600 Of them-to attend
the annual convention of the Nebraska
State Bankers association, and will start
off their first night In Omaha with the
highest kind of hlarity at the den.
Billy Hughes, secretary of the associa-
ton; Dad Weaver. secretary Of the
knights, and Charles Black OF the board
Of governors, are working together on ar
rangements for the oTatorical contest,
which Is served as dessert in the big feast
of fun features.
Bankers TO Talk.
| They say they can bank on several
bankers In this talk marathon for some
high speed In story telling. and have thus
far been successful In keeping from their
list every banker possessing more than
one four-minute record. These preosH-
tions are customariy made to keep the
spectators smelling the palate teasing ef-
fluvium from the dining room, and from
turning upon each other in cannibaiistic
hunger and thus removing some 1000 from
the knight present record roll.
Looking still further ahead. one sees
looming up the big night when all Lincolr
comes down to Omaha. That is next
Monday night. 1t will be designated Lin
coin night. All the political patriarcht
from the state capital, all the merchants
and all the professional men, have beer
invited, and In all probability some 66a.
per cent will be here.
The final performance will be devoted
exclusively to Omahans. 1t will b.
Omaha's own night, a time which prece
dent has decreed shall be the most rip
roaring, zlp-soaring, high-timing, bell
Ginning good time Of the whole season.
