Deponent says when she heard

voice in distress apparently came
from the basement of the build

WASHINGTON, March 13.-That
the slO.0O0,O0O Carnegie endowment
for international peace, Of which
United States Senator Elihu Root is
chairman. has appropriated $32, 1859 in
the last year for a propaganda in ia
,or Of the repeal or arbitration of the
clause eXempting American shipping
from the payment of tolls, and of that
sum has spent $2S,54S, and that it
circulated under Government frank
$4,000 copies of Roots speech against
/ toll exemption was brought out before
the Senate Lobby Committee to-day
when James Brown Scott, secretary
Of the foundation, took the stand.
The foundation also sent out 1900
000 copies Of a statement on the tolls
question, signed by members of the
hoard o. trustees, Scott said. This
propaganda, he declared, comprised
the whole activity of the foundation.

Naintained by the Foundation. The
work n the foundation is carried on

Senator Root is also chairman Of
the executive committee which or
dered the distribution of Panama Ca
ra tolls literature, but Scott ex-
planned that Root was not present
when it was voted to circulate his
speech,
Senator Reed asked what the re-
peal Of the exemption clause had to
DO with promoting peace.
Some believe that the way to pre-
serve peace is to smooth out misun-
derstandings," replied Scott.
IF there had been a serious dispute
here might have been some reason
in circulating the speech said Sena-
Tor Reed, who wanted to know why
he Root speech had been circulated
Instead Of the O'Gorman speech in
favor OF free tolls.

KITCHENER'S MAN

Some picture him with anguished brow
Among his weeping womankind.
The baleful hour has struck and now
He leaves the happy years behind.
He goes, for duty sounds the call,
'Tis his to keep our England free
From a devouring tyrant's thrall.
Alas! that 1t should be!
But have seen him straight and strong
His spirits obviously high.
Waving toward the cheering throng
That stands to watch him marching by
His eye with martial ardor beams,
He cries, Are we downhearted? No!!r
Or chants that Tipperary seems
A long, long way to go!
His chin is high his shoulders squared,
His heart is throbbng to the drums,
He knows his task and is prepared
To do his best, whatever comes.
Whsn King and Country spoke their need
They did not have to ask him twice.
He speaks of privilege" indeed,
Never of "sacrihce!"

LIQUOR MEN PROFESS THEIR
READINESS TO SHOW BOOKS
Deny That Their Records Are Being
Removed From City.


Leaders of the liquor men backing Sem
ator Penrose in the senatorial campaign
are evincing interest in the progress OF
the investigation started in Washington
to dig into the Penrose primary election
"slush fund"
Denials were made yesterday By sew
eral liquor leaders that they were spirit
ing their books out OF the State. With
one accord they said they welcomed an
investigation OF any kind and said they
would be glad to give the Senate Com
mlttee any assistance.
Neil Bonner. president OF the Pcnnsyl-
vania Federation of Liquor Dealers,
frankly admitted that he and other Of
flcers OF the various liquor mems or
sanizations were advising their constitu-
ents to vote for Penrose. Bonner said
he had visited State Democratic Chair
man Morris and tried to persuade him
that the Democrats keep the liquor ques-
ton out of their campaign. Failing In
this, he said. he and his colleagues had
gone to the support OF Penrose for their
own protection.
1T is quite true that we solicit funds
from our members-S25 each" said Bon
ner But this money is solely for the
upkeep of our organization. Whether any
money got to Penrose, IS alleged, is a
matter OF which l know nothing. But
we are not alarmed over this invcstlga-
tion, and are ready for them at any
time"
Charges that the Anti-Saloon League
was fostering the Penrose investigation
and that back of them stood political In
terests. were made by Charles r. Ettla,
