MAY CALL TEDDY TO TELL OF HIS
 CAMPAIGN FUND
COTielyOu Admits He Had Charge
 of S1,9 300, 900 in 1904

Washington, July 12-Baffled in it's search for details of the enormous campaign funds collected in 1904 and 1908 through the defective memories of both the Republican and Demo- cratic national managers and their testim6ny that all records had been destroyed, the special Senate investi- gating committee today faced a di- 4emma>
 The committee was empowered to probe the campaign war funds by the resolution of Senator Culberson, Of Texas. and on his charge that both funds had tOtalled an astounding hg- ure Tom Taggart, of Indiana, who managed the Democratic campaign in 1904. could not even estimate the size of the fund that year when exam aned by the committee. George B. Cortelyou, charged with management of Roosevelt's 1904 campaign, remem- hered that the Republican fund to- tailed about s1, 300, 900, but gave only the most meagre details of how 1t was collected or disbursed
 In both cases the account books showing receipts and disbursements had been destroyed.
 The committee decided today to con- tinue It's hunt for information as to afe 1904 campaign before beginning on 1he Presidential race of 1908. George R Sheldon, who was treasurer of the national Republican committee in 1904, rwill be called shortly. While no def mite announcements have yet been made, it was understood that Postmas- ter General Frank Hitchcock, Taft s manager i'm 1908, and Norman E. Mack will both be called. The committee does not expect much trouble in prob ssfle the 1908 funds, owing to the pub 1fc#Hion made in New York, under that States laws, following Tafts election.
 It. was understood today that sev- zzral members of the Investigating ,co41mittee are urging that Colonel Roosevelt be called to testify regard ihr his knowledge of the collection and disbursements of money during his campaign.

ENGLAND AND TIE CANAL
Britain's Protest May Delay Legisla- ton Until Next Session. Note
 on Its Way.

Washington, July 12.-"Purely a Legislative matter which has not yet reached the importance of a diplo- matic crisis" was the way the state department, today, summed up the situation created by Englands pro- test against the Panama Canal bll The department made 1t clear that it's sole function, under present cir cumstances, will be merely that of receiving and transmitting agents to receive Great Britain's. formal pro- tests and forward them, without ac- ltion, to the Senate, where the Pana" ma bill is now pending.
 England's note, fully explain1ng her objections to the provisions g6v- erning the big ditch, is expected next week. It is enroute here now. Secre- tary Knox indicated, today, that he would make no reply to the com munication, merely transmitting 1t to the Senate.
 The principal development today, was the possibility that Great Brit aims protest against the legislation may cause postponement of it's con Sideration until next session.
 Senator Brandegee, chairman of the Senate Interoceanic canals com mittee, in charge of the bill, however, said it would not be postponed if lO lckIlIl 15 COuS1O0ISO. A pIOL0CIG0 debate in the Senate is certain. This will give the Britons ample time to complete their attack on the meas ure.
 The only proceedings in the diplo- matic rupture, so far, have been slight, but it is thought Ambassador Bryce may cut short his European tour and return here to act in the diplomatic operations, now in charge of Fred Mitchell sInnes, charge d'af- faires of the British embassy. Innes and all other embassy officers are absent, the embassy being closed for the summer.
 Free tolls to American shipping is now known to be the principal point of British objections. Proposed bar ring of raidroad-owned ships from the canal is regarded as merely a collateral and not an important Brit ish exception. It was thought by members of the Senate canal commit tee that the Canadian Pacific Rail- way inspired the protest because of its ownership of big fleets of vessels but it was evident, today, that the entire affair is being handled direct from the British foreign office at London.

New York, July 12-Because her baby cried all night and the doctor told her that 1t must have fresh air or it would surely die. Mrs. Rehecca Kop- Jeff took ft to Central Park. But the rark was hot and under the trees the child seemed to have trouble getting it's breath. Just beyond there was a wide open space and the wonian-she is young and speaks very little Eng .1isfr-t0ok it there. She carefully re- moved her own petticoat and spread it on the grass, and the little one was soon cooiuz contentedly.
 A policeman blew his whistle but the young mother had dropped off to sleep herself He came over and roughly aroused her. He upbraided her foE walking on grass which Park Commissioner Slower had declared must be kept sacred, and finally bun rdIed her into patrol wagon and car .ried her off to court. There Police l1la gistrate Herbert promptly fined the woman, whose husband earns eight dollars weekly working Ii hours daily ina laundry, one dollar. She hadn't the money to pay and told the court that if she had she would use it for food. Finally, after the probation of deer had begged that the woman be not sent to jail and had pointed out that if she was the child would prob ably die there. Magistrate Herbert re- 1uctantiy remitted the fine.

Real Progressive Says Roosevelt

Senator LaFollette Sums up. Case of People Vs. the

HIGH COMPLIMENT TO BRYAN
Wisconsin Leader Says Teddy is Backed by Money of Stock
 Watered Corporations

Madison, Wis, July 12-Senator La Toilette, today, went on record as op- posed to the new party movement fathered by Colonel Roosevelt Tn an editorial in LaFollette's Weekly, he not only declared against the Roose- welt move but scathingly attacked the ColonePs motives in < organizing the new party.
 LaFollette's> editorial is headed: 'sThe Case of Mir Roosevelt and he sums up his conclusions as follows: z
 Roosevelt appeals to progressives to join his party. Rooseyelt's whole record demonstrates that he has no constructive power, that he is pro- gressive only in words, that he is ever ready to compromise in order to or progressive principles.
 He will not last. T In the end, the people of this country will get his true measure.
 No party was ever successfully or ganized about a man. His principles of any great movement g
 Comparing Roosevelt with Bryan LaFollette says:
 Bryan at Baltimore, forgetting all chance of his own nomination, mar shaHing all his forces, braving Tam
 
 ty from their domination, carrying the convention for the adoption of a pro- gressive platform, the most progress siVe yet offered, was towering figure of moral power and patriotic devotion to civic righteousness.
 Roosevelt at Chicago, backed by money derived from the stock water ing operations of the steel trust and harvester trust organizing what are now confessed to have been fake eo1~ tests as to nearly 200 delegates in or, der to control the convention and se- cure his own nomination, refusing to aid sin the naming of a progressive platform bound to have the power to destroy the Republican party, was a most striking example of misdirected power and unworthy ambition. He had as great an opportunity as Bryan was serving the man. not the cause : sI.aFoliette declares that he is con- vinced neither Taft nor Roosevelt had a regularly elected majority in the Chicago convention but that the man agers of each candidate were trying to seat fraudulently chosen delegates in order to "steamroH their candidate to the nomination.
 This says the editorial, sfexplains the extraordinary conduct of Roose-. welt. He could not enter upon such an analysis of the evidence as would prove Taft's regularly elected dele gates then in order, without subject ing spuriously credentialed delegates to examination so critical as to ex- pose the falsity of his own contention that he had majority of regularly elected delegates. Therefore, he chose to cry fraud to bully the national con- vention and create condition which would make impossible calm sinves- tigation of cases upon merit and to carry the convention by storm. :"
