New York, Aug. 27-Col. Roosevelt will write his official denial, explana- tion and characterization of the testi- mony given by John D. Archbold with reference to the Standard Oil contri- button of $100000 to the campaign fund of 1904 and mail it to Senator Clapp, chairman of the Senate sub committee. It is promised that the statement will be very long and it Is possible that the Colonel will touch on the financing of it's primary cam paign this year, as well as on the financing of the campaign in 1904, but there is no promise of this.
 Denouncing the situation in Wash ington as a ''frame-up,' Roosevelt Is preparing to get his denial, explana- ton and characterization officially be- fore the public.
 George B. Cortelyou called at Oys- ter Bay and Roosevelt sent for Will liam Loeb, Jr., who succeeded Cor telyou as secretary to Roosevelt when Cortelyou became campaign manager In 1904
 All Seem Satisfied.
 What Cortelyou and Loeb told the Colonel seemed to give satisfaction to all three, Roosevelt said;
 "Mr. Cortelyou tells me that he never heard Mir. Archbold's name men, toned by MT. Bis in connection with any contribution and that as regards himself the whole story Is fabrica- tion out of the whole cloth as, of course, it is about me"
 Loeb's visit to Oyster Bay was sur prise He has not been there for a year, but has remained "on the fence" with regard to Roosevelt's candidacy. Loeb Is collector of the Port of New York. He said.
 Roosevelt Is right in the matter of the contribution alleged to have been made by MT. Archbold. There is no person who can successfully impeach the integrity of the Colonel"
 Colonel Is Angry.
 In the statement the former Presi- dent will give out, he will include cop les of several letters bearing directly on campaign contributions made in 1904. These letters were written to him, 1t was said, by Bliss and Cortel- you.
 Roosevelt says he is angry because he was not called now to testify be- fore the Senate Committee.
 This just shows the nature of the proceedings" he said Behind an al legged investigation of Penrose they are trying to get at me. but they cant. They cannot find flaw in my armor. They don't dare to let me go before them and tell my side of the case. I'm might sorry. I wanted to give them the truth"

STRONG EVIDENCE
AGAINST MURRAY
TESTIMONY INTRODUCED RY THE
STATE IS ALL AGAINST THE
DEFENDANT-sTAfE TO CLOSE
IT'S CASE ToDAY-MANY WIT
NESsEs CALLED.

Hr#.E
Many witnesses took the stand this
morning in the case of the state
against "A. =. Murray, who stands trial
ON a grand larceny charge.
The witnesses all testified for the
state and the testimony introduced by
the state looks strong against Murray.
The state will finish it's case today and
this afternoon they will try to prove
Glyndon, MINI.
1t is alleged that Murray after he
had stolen the butter would 'lay low"
for a couple of days and would then
call on his steady customers, and sell
them the butter at a reduced figure
from those quoted by the wholesalers.
1t is said that the defendant told his
customers that he had a large farm
near Glyndon, Mimi, with a large
dairy n sixty cows with a few hun
dred chickens on it.
The chief features of the testimony
given by the witnesses called this
morning:
John Walters, car clerk at Edgeley,
N. d. said: "The butter was shipped
from Edgeley and l sealed the car"
The seal number and the number of
the a with the date correspondent eX-
actly with the testimony given by
George Sandstrom, car clerk at st.
Paul.
M. H. Rogers, station agent at
Edgeley: THE car was shipped from
here and We received reports later
that the car had been broken into.;'
George ~Sandstrom, car clerk at 81.
Paul: 1.-THE car that was shipped
from Edgeley was received in ST.
Paul a few days later and the seal had
been moIested."
L. M. Ellefsen, grocer, at 122 Broad
way: Murray drove up to my store
in a light driving wagon Oct. 4, and
sold me three tubs of butter contain
ing sixty pounds each. l gave him a
check in payment amounting to $50.
The wholesalers were asking "a cents
a pound at the time and Murray sold
me the butter at 90 cents. He sold
butter on four or five different
occasions"
o. S. Hadeland. grover, 412 Broad
way: II bought six tubs of butter
from Murray Oct. A.. Each tub con-
tanned sixty pounds. He quoted me
butter at a reduced rate from that
asked by the wholesalers. / paid 20
cents a pound and If / remember right
the market called for % or "a cents"
1t is not believed that Murray will
take the stand in his own behalf. Con-
siderable interest is being shown in
the case as the court room was well
filed with spectators.

The Theatres
Fargo operahouse.
Jan. 27-Seven Days.
Jan. 31-Robert Hilliard.

Seven Days is the finest, funniest
comedy New York has seen. There is
a guffaw in every move. They laughed
from the rise of the curtain to the last
wall of the orchestra. They laughed
because they couldn't help laughing.
They laughed because there isn't a
moment in Seven Days where gloom is
entitled to look in. Seven Days is
funny. It's funny from the tap of the
bell to the final gong. The situations
were immense. There were enough
bright lines TO make a dyspeptic eat
a farm hands dinner at breakfast time.
There's something sweet about a play
that makes everybody laugh. The
world carries enogh of the somber-too
much. Tragedy is great. and there
have been few Dantes, but somehow
one leans a little toward the chuckIes.
Go and see Seven Days. And see it

York company, direct from the plays

with the Broadway production com
