SMALL AMOUNT
G|vENMEN WHO
STOLE LETTERS
Former Managing Editor of
New York American Says
Less Than $500 Was Paid
Man Who Delivered the
Archbold Letters to That
Paper.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Charles P. J.
Mooney, editor of the Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal and formerly managing
editor of the New York American, told
the senate campaign fund investigating
committee today about securing copies
Of some of the Standard Oil letters
published by William R. Hearst.
Mr.. Mooney testified he negotiated
for copies of only a few Of the Arch
bold letters; that they were brought to
the American offices by a white man
whose name he did not know, and that
he paid less than $500.
'I believe that with letters contain
ing matter of this sort, it was some
ones duty to make them public. They
showed that senators and representa-
tives. sworn to protect the public
interests, were committing treason
against the people" Mr.. Mooney told
the committee.
He testified that when he became
managing editor of the New York
American In 1904, John Eddy, pre-
viously, city editor, turned over to him
number Of Photographic copies Of
Standard Oil correspondence with pub
lie men. AS to how these were OBJ
tanned Mr.. Mooney could give no in
formation. Later, a man he could not
name, offered him more letters and
wanted Mr.. Mooney to buy them, as
suring him he had come by them hon
estly" Mr.. Mooney made some photo
graphs copies.
81 was later assured by counsel, -
said Mr. Mooney, that it would have
been entirely proper for me to buy
original letters containing matter Of
such criminal character. I did not
want them, however, and I did not
care. to have them remain in my pos
session Jr in the papers possession"
Mr.. Mooney denied the statement in
an affidavit by Charles Stump, pre-
that Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr.. Mooney
had inspected letter books taken from
the Standard Oil offices. He said he
never saw any such books and that he
had never negotiated with Mr.. Cham
berlain for any letters. He added fur
ther that he had never talked with
Mr.. Hearst about the correspondence
and had never bought any of the orig
inals.
Mr. Mooney branded the statement
that $34, 900 was paid for copies of the
Standard Oil letters as IAN absurdity.
When asked for his Judgment as to the
statement that $4,000 was paid, Mr..
Mooney replied that from q news point
of view that price would not have been
excessive.
The committee took an indefinite
recess.

with a representative of The Journal
It the San Carlos last night, the work
on the NJ. and P. would go right ahead

There was a time not long ago
when my death might have put an end
to it but that time is past; the NJ. and

that remains to do is build it.

Speaking of the slowncss with which
the construction has progressed, Mr..
Dickinson said:
Every foot of the way was felt and
if you remember 1 told you the last
time l was here that we had to make
a new survey which not only delayed
us but cost US a great deal when we
consider time and money. Fortunately,
We found that the new route decided
upon would clip several miles from the
run and we will now follow our present
plans. building a line on a one and
half per cent grade to Memphis which
will be the shortest route to the gulf
by sixty-t three miles.
THE men working on the line have
always had my consideration and
there has always been money on hand
to meet their payroll and allow us to
pay our bills of any other nature right
off.
Had it not been for the tightness of
money occasioned by The situation in

PRISON LIFE NOT AN
 INCENTIVE TO CRIME

Nos yet has prison life been made thoroughly attractive, judging by tn defects discovered in New York's state prison at Auburn by Thomas Mott Osborne, who volunteered to undergo penal servitude for one week in the interest of reform.
 Among the improvements he sug- gests for the benefit of conyicts are private baths, more frequent baths, three changes of underwear, more newspaper and magazine reading, more liberty of correspondence, bet ter coffee, freedom to converse, nor careful regulation of sales of gro ceries, and tobacco, supplies of matches, rain capes for wear in the yard and longer play hours for mus icaI recreation.
 Being chairman of state prison commission Mir Osborne may be eX- pected Ito possess influence enough with the prison authorities to Ob- tain redress of the grievances sui fered by the inmates at Auburn. But even that may take time. Other prisons of his state remain to be examined and improved In some of the other states it may be that nothing of the kind has yet been un dertaken. The inference is that, after all these years of agitation, the average reuitentiary does not now and may not for years to come afford the advantages of even a second rate hotel. Probably the veterans in our soldiers homes are better off than the cOnvicts in our peuitegtiariesI
