Washington, Jan. .1s-Recovery from the Standard Oil Company of letters and other documents as yet un- published which may throw light upon the financing of recent political cam paigns and the favors shown to corpo- rations for that service was revealed, today, as the object of the probe by the C1app investigating committee into the alleged sale of the Archbold cor respondence to w. R. Hearst.
 'I do not mind saying" commented Senator C1app, today, that the reason for our apparent insistence in this matter is our desire to trace any other letters than those which have been made public thus far which may come within the scope of this inquiry
 He said he did not know who had sent to the committee the Philip H. Brown affidavit alleging that Attorney GiIchrist Stewart, acting for Senator Foraker, had returned letters to the Standard Oil Company last month.
 BlumeIing, brother-in-law of Stump. and one of the parties to the sale of stolen documents, will testify, next Thursday.

BEBATES UPHELY BEFORE SHIPPING
 TRUST COMMITTEE

Washington, Jan. 18.-"Conference and pooling agreements and relating are necessary to the life of foreign commerce. asserted Herbert Barber president of the Barber Steamship Co of New Yotrk, before the House ship ping trust committee, today
 He explained that although his company operated ships under nearly every flag, they received a subsidy only from France.
 Although France pays the largest practically no good results.''
 If your conference rates are reason able'' Barber was asked, thow can you afford to give 10 per cent rebate ?'' We can operate more cheap1y,' he said. ''The way you people talk makes relating seem a crime. A rebate is nothing more than a discount granted because of a long term contract with a shipper. Because of fear of prose- cution we cannot grant rebates on goods sent out of the United States"

 Merchant SuccumbS

Esther Ange1ia Quaid, wife of Ed ward J. O'Nei1l the Main street rl1ppeI goods merchant died this morning al St Vincent's hospital at 1:35, follow ing an illness of several weeks: Death was due to an ailment Of the k1dneys which manifested itself shortly atter the birth of an infant daughter. Prior to that time the deceased had scarce ly known what a sick day was and the announcement of her demise came as a shock to her legion of acqua1n- tances and admirers. Surviving her besides her husband are three chill dren, Edward aged 5; Charles aged B, weeks old. Her mother, three sisters and six brothers also survive. Two of her sisters and four of her brothers reside with their mother in the family home in Limerick, Ireland while the other members of the family are resi- dents of this country being located Tn the west.

O'Neil the nuptiaI knot being tied in the parish church of the brides native city. Miss Quaid had been favored with a fine education particularly in the line of music and she was recogniz- ed as one of the finest contraltos in her home city. Following their mar riage after a tour of Ireland MT. and Mrs O'NeilI sailed for New York where
  they left for their future home in this city.

 It is only two months ago that MT. O'Nei1 was called upon to bear the loss of his mother who died in Ire land and his numerous friends here abouts extend to him their sincerest sympa thy in the irreparable loss which he has now sustained.

 WHEN PRESIDENT TAFT
 COMES TO CONNECTICUT

New Haven. Jan. 18-When Presi- dent Taft comes to this city, Monday, to attend the meeting of the Yale University Corporation and completes plans for the making of this city his permanent home. this State will have for the first time in it's history man who has held the highest office in the gift of the people, as a permanent resident.

 There is also a possibility that the State may have the added distinction of having an active President within it's borders during the coming sum mer. President Wilson has for several summers sDent his vacations

JOHN l.. SULLIVAN ALMOST LOST BOUT WITH CARDIFF
 26 YEARS AGO TONIGHT

Five years before John L. Sul1fvaa lost his title as the worlds premier fighting man to Jim COrbett, he was saved from defeat and disaster only
 by his indomitabIe nerve and his abiI- ity to browbeat his opponents until the blood turned to water in their veins. Twenty-six years ago tonight the Old Roman faced Patsy Cardiff
 in Minneapolis, in what was scheduled
 as a six-round bout. Cardiff was a great fighter, finished boxer, a cham pion save only for the lack of cour- age and gameness. That night in the
 Minn nesota metropolis he had the heavyweight championship of tho
 world in his hands, but the beetIfnH stare from the fierce eyes of the great
 est of gladfators heightened him. and
 his fingers relaxed the clutch on the
 victory that was within his grasp.
 Early in the battle Sullivan broke the
 radius of his left arm. The injury
 caused excruciating pain, but the Old
 Roman made no sign. His lips were
 a little more compressed than usual,
 his glare more terrible, and the fu-
 jured arm hung useless at his side. He fought on with his one good arm. and Cardiff thought John L. was but manifesting contempt, or that nfs left was but reserved for some terrible wauop when opening came. Through the six rounds Cardiff show ed greater fear of the bum" left than of the good right. With more cour- age and aggressiveness he must soon have discovered John L.'s plight, and made short work of the champion Of champions. Fear held him back, and the opportunity was lost.
 Poor old Jack Dempsey IngIorious-s- rounded out his glorious career eie1- teen years ago today when he took OF Tommy Ryan at Coney Island. IL was a match that should never have been made, for Dempsey was already far gone with tuberculo osis. Dempsey had commenced a career at a Brooklyn cooperage shop which also turned out Jack McAuliffe, Jack Skelly and Brooklyn Jimmy Carroll, and all or these begged the former. .rnfddIeWcfghz champion to call off the fight. He chung to his determination and train ed faithfully at the roadhouse Of Brooklyn Jimmy Carroll, who dfea last month. Dempsey made a pitifui exhibition of himself and was push ed out'' by Ryan in the third round. Dempsey died in Portland, Ore, a few months later.
