Washington, Oct. 4.?Theodore Roosevelt, for seven years president of . the United States and candidate for , i reelection on the national Progressive s j ticket, occupied a witness chair for j three and a half hours today before I ; a senate investigating committee de^ i fending his administration, himself j and his campaign associates against , what lie termed 'infamous charges" and "hearsay evidence." He appeared before the committee , at his own request to answer statei ments made in August by John D. , Archbold that the Standard Oil com pany had given $100,000 to the Repub-ilican campaign in 1904 under the im-1 pression that President Roosevelt . knew of and approved acceptance of . the contribution. Not only did Roosevelt deny this, but he put into the for mal records of the committee a sweep, i ing denial that he 'had ever solicited ' funds from any one while president; j ^aa<I T?\' ' tnar any munev jia^i the V. 04 campaign committre with exjre.-.se-J or implied promise of favor 'from the administration: that exces' give funds had been used in rhe | cr ' ?S campaigns; or that money had i . ever be n improperly used in his bej half, so far as he knew. 1 Week Was a Bu ? n n ? a i It^fr I ai I 5 m)' uw tock of Fa Goods is Cc our Shoes, Hats, Cap , Comforts, Counterp; ose, Ribbons, Cloaks, ;, the newest thing ou! ite and White and B1 tew stock out and ou icking about "busine goods out by the wag irrive to fill the vaca: IBB? #3&p EST fgf JOE lltBII .

Sheldon and others had fully corroborated his earlier statements that this ffind was raised expressly for the New York State campaign and had not been solicited by i him for his own support in the fight for the Republican nomination. "There was not one word spoken by Mr. Harriman or by me having any j reference to any collection of funds J for the national campaign," he said, referring to his interview with Mr. Harriman in October, 1904. "On the contrary the request was from Mr. Harriman that inasmuch as we had a.mple funds for the national campaign and as the: national campaign was safe we could help him out in the State . campaign." The sessions of the committee were nicturesQiie throughout. Col. Roose velt arrived at the committee room 10 minutes before the hour of opening. His progress into the building was marked with cheers from a throng that . surged through the corridors. PoliceI men kept a line of over a thousand ' people in order while a hundred or so i fortunate ones occupied seats in the j . j eomniii too room. Col. Roosrvelt was | placed in a chair 0:1 a little *quar . : platform from which ho looked down 1 I : I upon the table, at which sat Senator.
