by tne hSSOcldGeQ TresS.
President Roosevelt's 1852 ,0OO, 600
defense program is developing even
more rapidly than originally ex-
pected
The Chief Executive has recon-
mended cash outlay of 1888 ,843, ,799
for defense purposes during the year
starting July /. This is S152,843.-
799 more than he estimated when
he sent the program to Congress
last January II. The remainder will
be covered by contracts for which
Congress will provide the funds
later.
The President first informed Con-
gress that only $210000,O0O of the
total actually would be spent from
the Treasury before June 30, 1910,
exclusive of $21, 1,O62, 900 for Panama
Canal defenses.
Congress thus far has provided
$100 232 ,299 in cash and contractual
authorizations totaling $66 800, ,9So
for the Army's share of the pro-
gram, plus direct appropriations OF
S44 500 900 and contrdctual authori-

Parts Of these funds were included
in the $508 100000 War Department

went through in a special bill.

ness in Missouri. The checks totaled
500, 500.
On the same day the law firm had
repaid the $100,500 to Mr.. Street In
checks.
Mr.. Milligan said Mr.. Street ad-
mitted a transaction but would not
reveal the identity Of the person
paid the money until the steamship,
Queen Mary, then at sea on it's maid
en- voyage, had docked at New York. I"
AFTER it was learned that the pas
senger list Of the Queen Mary
disclosed that T. j. Pendergast, a
politician then reputed to be the
most powerful political figure in
Missouri, and who was not a public
officer, was aboard and bound for
New York, an investigation was be-
gun to determine whether any part
of this money had been paid to him., -
Mr.. Milligan said.
Reveals Patients Worries"
During Dr. Sophian's lengthy dag
nosis of Mr.. Pendergast's ills, he con-
flded his patient had worried about
politics The doctor also said "hear-
say evidence" came to him that horse
racing was worrying the boss and he
had urged him to drop his interests
in races.
In addition to the insurance
case allegations, Mr.. Pendergast was
charged with using straw men" in
his widespread construction and
liquor interests to make profits of
$l28 $50 in 1885 and 1886 on which
he failed to pay taxes
Mr.. Milligan said Edward l..
Schneider, secretary treasurer of
seven Pendergast firms, told the
Federal grand jury April % he had
been used as a straw man"
Next day, the grand jury which
previously had indicted the boss on
the insurance angle of the income
tax charges, reindicted him.
May Mr.. Schneider disappeared
as Mr.. Pendergast pleaded innocent
to the latest charges. He abandoned
his car on Missouri River bridge,
leaving in it two suicide notes

bluntly In his arguments today that
Mr.. Pendergast sold his political in
fluence for money.
Never before had that charge been
made In open court. Mr.. Milligan
disclosed for the first time that the
boss was promised $3.50, 1000 to bring
about the 1885 settlement of q
$9,50O,000 State fire insurance rate
case In which the bulk OF the money
was awarded to insurance companies
and agents. Mr.. Pendergast's ma
chine at that time dominated State
government.
The $750,O00 payment was not
completed, however, Mr.. Milligan
explained. because of the death of
Charles r. Street of Chicago, rep
resentative of the fire insurance
companies, who collected the money
and negotiated the deal with Mr..
Pendergast.
Mr.. Milligan said a total Of $440,-
600 was paid, of which MIR. Pender-
CAST got $315,000, and that the pay
of man was A. L. Mccormack of St.
Louis, then president of the Mis-
souri, Insurance Agents Association.
No Further Prosecution.
The prosecutor declared Mr.. Pen

suborned perjury" and was guilty
OF most flagrant contempt" in pro-
curing r. Emmett O'Malley, a CO.
defendant, and former State insur-
ance superintendent, ito palm of

legitimate one"
Mr.. OMalley, also under indict-
ment on income tax charges, has
been accused by Mr.. Milligan of get
ting $62,500 of the payoff while
holding his State Office.
The district attorney added, how
ever, there will be no further GRIM
inal prosecution against the defend
ant CPendergast) for these addi-
tional offenses."
Courtroom Crowded.
Mr.. Pendergast arrived at the
Federal Building II minutes before
scheduled pleading time.
Thirty minutes before his appear
ance spectators were crowded into
every available seat in the small
courtroom. Only about 100 could be
accommodated.
r. Pendergast sat between his
nephew. Jim Pendergast, heir-ap-
parent Of the shattered machine,

DR.. A. Sophian, Mr.. Pendergast's

posed political cZar was suffering
