WATSON SAYS GOVERNOR
HAS ENDED WILD RUMORS

PITTSBURGH, April 7,-Only two men
of prominence in politics would express
opinions tonight on the contribution of a
check for $1,000 by David B. Oliver. of
this city, to Governor Brumbaugh in his
campaign Henry G, Wasson, Republican
National Committeeman from Pennsyl-
vania, who is ar ardent supporter of the
Governor, said:
81 consider the statement made by the
Governor manly and to the point. 1t will
be the means of putting an end to :he
rumors and false statements against his
honor. They are circulated to injure a
good man who is seeking TO do his duty.
His statement will have wholesome effect
on the politics of the State, which needs
renovating."
Samuel c. Jamison, Coroner of AIle-
gheny County, is friendly to the Penrose
interests and is bitterly opposed to Gov
ernor Brumbaugh. He believes the check
given by Mr.. Oliver was in the nature of
campaign contribution. He said:
I've been in the game % years and
have never known any one to give a man
running for office personal gift for spend
ing money The excuse made by the Gov
ernor is too thin. Any man acquainted
with political practice knows better. |
have known about the transaction for some
time There are several other matters
Governor Brumbaugh win have to throw
light on, and we expect to keep him busy
explaining"

GOVERNORS CAMPAIGN
BOARD GIVES STATEMENT

Coincdent with the developments at
tendant upon the Governors statement
with regard to the Oliver check, the cam
pQign committee in charge of his pres-
Dental fight issued this comment last
night:
still further evidence of Governor
Brumbaughs popularity through the min
ing districts of the State and of the en-
thusiastic support he is assured from that
direction i'm his race for the presidency
is contained in the announcement that the
mine inspectors of LuZerne County had
declared themselves i'm hearty sympathy
with his candidacy The action of the
mine inspectors became known through a
letter to the Governor from Robert John
son, secretary of the mine inspectors of
Luzerne County.
THE feeling that the time is ripe for
Pennsylvania, bulwarll of Republicanism
to send one of its sons to the White House
and that the logical son for it to send
is Governor Brumbaugh--s sweeping
through the State like a forest fire.
Another warm letter of commendation
was written by Frank II. Jarvis, former
superintendent of schools in Wyoming
County and now president of the Tunk-
hammock School Board.
"An excerpt from another written to
the Governor by Henry Davis, prominent
resident of Huntingdon County, contains
the following: You may remember that /
wrote you, soon after your election to the
office of Governor, that | will not be sat
isfed until you are made President of the
United States. / am one of your old friends
in Huntingdon County who have followed
your career from your boyhood, and who
know that Pennsylvania has excellent
presidential timber in her present Gov
ernor.' '"

Let Brumbaugh Produce
My Letter" Says OIiUer
PITTSBURGH, April Z.

David B. Oliver, when
shown the statement of Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, said:
The Governor seems to
consider my contribution as a
personal present. If l had in
tended to present him with a
token of my esteem it would
certainly have taken some
other shape than a gift of
money.
"I intended my check to be
used for the purpose of assist
ing him in his campaign and
for no other purpose what
ever.
"The Governors quotation
from my letter is not in ac-
cord with the communication
itself nor with the letter he
wrote me in acknowledging
the receipt of my contribu-
ton. would suggest that he
make public the letter in it's
entirety"

lieve that his worst enemies will think
of asking this or attempt to make any
more capital out Of the David Oliver
check.
NORTH AMERICAN.
"Penrose will be genuinely shocked to
learn that Brumbaugh accepted $1,000 for
his personal needs. Boies has a hearty
contempt for anything less that $4,000,
and il has to come In certificates OF de-
post"
BULLETIN.
Under the caption. "The Latest Brum-
baugh Mess" The Evening Bulletin says:
"lf the check for $1,000 which Senator
divers brother sent. about two months
before the Gubernatorial election Of 1914,
to Martin c. Brumbaugh. was intended AS
n contribution to Brumbaugh's campaign
fund, the candidate violated the law and
committed perjury when lie put II priv
ately in his own pocket and failed to in
clude ii in the filing of his expense ac-
count in the office of the Secretary of the
Commonwealth.
If however, he accepted this check, as
he now says. not for campaign purposes
but as a personal gift he was entirely
willing to become an object of the char
liable consideration of a rich man at a
time when a candidate for the Guberna-
torial office should have been specially
careful to avoid even the appearance of
being placed under pecuniary obligations
to any one.
"ln the campaign, and also since lie en-
tered his present office, Governor Brum-
baugh has had much to say about public
virtue and high standards of political con-
duct: and it is this behavior on his part
as a moral teacher that causes the Oliver
to become particularly dis
tasteful as a sign of a somewhat phar-
saiCal order of mind.
Moreover the donor of the check dis
tinctly denies that it was personal pres
ent, declaring that he intended it for no
other purpose whatever than as cam
Daign contribution: and this view of it
IS confirmed by Brumbaugh's immediate
of it as your generous
lelp in this fight
1T may be worth while to ask whether
.her are more checks of this kind which
were similarly disposed of by the recipient
In the campaign of 1914? But even If
there were no Others the manner in which
his one was handled after II was received
together with the present attempt of the
Governor to explain it away, puts an end
1t once TO his performance, clumsy enough
rs it has already been, playing his part as
4 special exponent of political honor and
morality"

CANTON JOINS REVOLT
AND DECLARES ITSELF
FREE OF YUAN SHI KAI
Big City in Southern China
Takes Whole Province, the
First On Coast, With 1t
in Secession
CHANGE WITHOUT FIGHT

SHANGHAI, April S.-The independence
of Canton and Kwantung Province has
been formally declared following a con-
ference of military and naval officers and
leading citizens with Lung Chi Kuang,
Governor of Kwangtung. No fighting
took place.
Ewangtung is an important province
of China in the southeastern part of the
Republic on the China Sea- It's capital
is Canton, which has a population OF
100000. In the province there are esti-
mated 10 be from 100000 to 100000
people
The secession is considered important
here, as pointing to the probable down.
fall of President Yuan Shi-kai as IL is
expected TO lead to the detection of other
southern provinces and strengthen the
hands of the southern leaders i'm their
reiterated demand for Yuans retiremen.
and the redistribution of the Nanking con-
stitution.
The influence at Pekn of Vice Pres-
dent Iii Yuan Hung and Secretary of State
Hsu Shih Chang and Marshal Tuan Chi
Jul, it is thought possible, may result in
the peaceful solution of the situation that
the southerners ardently desire, but in
formation from usually well informed
foreign source in Pekin is to the effect that
Yuan Shi-kai will fight bitterly. The
China Merchants Company has refused to
transport northern troops to Canton.
The United States cruiser Cincinnati is
on her way to Annoy. The Galveston is
due at Swatow today, when the Whining
ton will sail for Canton,
1t is considered noteworthy that there
are no apprehensions for the safety OF
foreigners.

The PUBLIC LEDGER made an exhaust
i've investigation Of the various expense
accounts on file at Harrisburg. but was
unable to find any mention of the Oliver
contribution, although there We're many
individuals mentioned in the accounts
filed by the six different political commit
tees Interested in advancing Doctor Brum-
baughs election, including the Repub-
lcan State Committee, the Brumbaugh
Citizens Committee the University of
Pennsylvania Alumni Brumbaugh Com
mittee, the Brumbaugh Citizens Commit
tee of Allegheny County, the Brumbaugh
Advertising Committee of Lancaster
County and the Philadelphia Auxiliary
Committee.
When this information had been col
lated the PUBLIC LEDGER, through two of
its editors, placed the matter before the
Governor, by appointment, at Harrisburg
last Tuesday. This was in accordance
order that the Governor could freely and
fully explain his position He asserted
that he had supposed from the beginning
that the Oliver contribution was per-
sonal gift and not meant to further his
campaign or political interests. lie said
that he was already familiar with the
facts, because Senator Oliver had pre-
sented them to him through Public Service
Commissioner John $. Killing three
weeks ago. At that time he declared he
had explained his point of view to Mr..
Killing, who assured him at the close of
their interview that he need trouble him
self no further on the subject. because
neither Senator Oliver nor his brother
would disclose the facts.
The Governor was asked to explain
how Mr.. Killing could give him such an
assurance when he was sent as an ennis
sary for the purpose of threatening pub
licity He said that he would have Mr..
Killing explain to the PUBLIC LEDGER. and
in the meantime, he requested that there
should be no publication. This assurance
was readily given to the Governor. No
further communication was received by
the PUBLIC LEDGER from the Governor.
Mr.. Killing called the editor on the teIe-
phone and said that he would be able to
Ike his attitude plain, but that first he
would have to see Senator Oliver He
asked that publication be withheld until
he could hold that conference. This was
agreed to, but Mr.. Killing failed to send
any further word, and Notwithstanding
this agreement, Governor Bpumbaugh
himself chose to reveal the story yester-
day when he handed his statement 10 the
press associations.

"The Governor could do as he

to asking the people to indorse a
man for the Presidency who might
be liable to impeachment, | thought
it time to put stop to it. Upon
reading the papers, Mr.. Killings
first exclamation was that it would
subject the Governor to impeach-
ment, and my impression is that
he also stated that he did not see
how the Legislature could refrain
from such action if the truth were
