Iawson, of "Frenzied a e Finance" Fame, Before Senate h Campaign Fund Probe-s, Rives In- on sh, formation Obtained In a "General by Way." of the Facts Above Stated. an The "sinister system" formed a ]i deep laid plot to control the pres eut Presidential election, Thomas W. Co Lawson, of Boston, told the Senate wil campaign contributions committee ide Thursday. Mr. Lawson was careful Co: to impress upon the committee that pre he knew only in a "general way" of las the alleged colossal scheme to nom- the inate and elect a candidate "astla- of factory to the Wall street.intirests." hoi The conspiracy of the Wall street be interests, of which Mr. Lawson knew the in a "general way", included, he we. declared, the defeat of Col. Roose- gre velt at the Republican National Con- upi vention, the nomination of President aec: Taft and the injection of Col. Roose- tha velt Into the campaign as a third kn< party candidate to "split the Republi- crii ca party"; a1 this withc*at the and - knowledge or consent of Col. Roose- ten velt. . Then Mr. Lawson knew, in a "gen- det eral way", a mysterious fund of $1,- the 000,000 had been raised In Wall St. The tb deadlock the Democratic Conven- huz tien at Baltimore, prevent the nom- ed ination of the candidates before the ed : Convention and to name a dark horse the satisfactory to the "system,' who was He to be elected. "I communicated this His information to Mr. Bryan," said Mr. iou Lawson, "and as a result Mr. Wilson rea was nominated and the scheme fail- turt ed " . the: The committee went after Mr. Dos Lawson's conspiracy story rather ed sbarply and endeavored in vain to j pin him down to a statement of his Fra basis for the recital. Be said he had it la private means of information, many sau of them confidential, and finally in- in i formed the committee that when a ion bit of Information became known to She him he took particular pains to ar- cap range matters so he might not know tha the exact source of the Information. attE . This rather took the committee off tha Its feet, and the Senators questioned was in vain in an effort to get specife froi Information from the witiness. He ed said in an effort to defeat the "sys- and tem's" plans he had financed a $100.- ed 000 independent advertising cam- par paign in behalf of Cgl. Roosevelt In and the hope that he could be nominated ma on the Republican ticket'hnd elected. the Senator Pomerene and the witness ma: became Involved in a heated argh- tint ment when the Senator demanded Mr Lawson's authority for his statement T regarding the $1,000,000 -raised to control the Baltimore Convention. Mr. Lawson said he believed that In quiry was not within the committee's jurisdiction. ."Do you understand the scope of TI this committee's power?" demanded the Senator Pomerene. The witness half lina rose and pounded his clenched fists She on the arm of his chair. He glared con at the four men behind the long corn- in mittee table and leaning toward them thai shouted: eleC "I dont't think I could misunder- Don stand the scope of this committee's TI work so far. I've read the record. ann I uanderstand what J. Pierpont Mor- Is a gan and the other men of his class F have been compelled to answer. I lest don't believe this committee should S seize upon me just because I 'am on son the side of the people against these 'I men. Oh' yes, I understand these mir things. With all deference to the 3 committee, the testimony of those Inn -men before this .committee has been I regarded as a joke." Cat Mr. Lawson testified that he knew 2 "In the same general way" of contri- Dill butions amounting to from $500,000 S to $700,000 to the fund of Alton B. nat Parker in 1904, made by the Stand- coo ard Oil groutp. He said, after a j lengthy ,explanation, his information ton on this point came partly from con- Ric vensations with the late H. H. Rog- ern ers, of the Standard Oil Company. "This Investigation," said 'Mr. C Lawson, "seems to 'be a matter of passing the buck up to dead men. I don't like to do It, but I guess I'll have to." In defining his "general way" of knowing things. Mr. Lawson said: "I am in the public statement bus- wh iness. All I know Is a general way. me: I sometimes say I know, In a public one statement, when I think I know. ed When 1 say I think, I usually guess." wit As the last witness of the day the wh committee heard John C. MeColl, see- anc rotary of the New York Life Insur- tul ance Company, who placed in the swi record the widely published story of tui the $48,700 contribution by the New but York Life to the Republican fund in doc 1904. in connection with which G. as W. Perkins was Indicted in New do' York. ui a iup Kifl Victims With Wooden Ares. dra A new collection of several thou- tel, sand weapons used by the cannibals too of South Sea Islands is on exhibit at anl the University of Pennsylvania.

In other words :ii we may vote for Wilson four years from now, we may vote for Roosevelt or we may vote for somebody else. We are tired of being ridiculed at Te: national conventions and have de- Mi: cided that we should form a party of rec our own." m $1 Bryan Wires His Regret. adi The following telegram was sent old to. Roosevelt by Bryan: "Allow me for to join with your countrymen, irre-' spective of party, in deploring the murderous attack made on you and .

Greece, not wishing to detach her elf from her allies, sent instruction any Wednesday morning to th sinister at Constantinople to com iunicate a declaration of war to th 'orte. Greece at the same time sen fraternal greeting to the allie tates. Servia was the first of the hree states to declare war Thursda: Light, Bulgaria followed a simila ,ecl'ration. War hai become general throug] he Balkan peninsula. Turkey, al ady engaged in fighting Montene ro, Wednesday morning issued srmal declaration of nostilitie gainst Servia and Bulgaria. Greec opposed to be in sympathy with Ser is and Bulgaria, was .not mention d in the declaration. The Greel inister has not been asked to leavi bs Turkish Capital. The Turkisl inister, however, left Athens. I1 i also announced that fighting be seen the Turkish and Green armies as begun on the frontier. In the declaration of war Turkey laces the .blame on Bulgaria anc ervia. Although Turkey has an eipated the Balkan states and order r a simultaneous advance of her ar Lies against Bulgaria and Servia, i1 expected that the Servians and Bul riane will be ready to meet the urkish invading force by the time reaches the frontier. Turkey's ithdrawal of her troops from the amediate vicinity of the Greek fron or and the omission of Greece from is declaration of war were doubt m dictated by Kiamil Pasha, pres lent of the council of state, and the al head of the Turkish Govern ent. He wants to avoid a fight with reeee, whose interests, as he recent told the Greek premier, are iden cal with those of Turkey. He alsc sired to cede the Island of Crete to reece. There is an inclination song military men to think the im )rtance of the Montenegro victories is been exaggerated. The Monten rins are fighting gdesperately, but Ley neglect the commissariat service id the hospitals, which are essential such a campaign. News from Constantinople is to the Teet that hostilities were opened Lrly Thursday morning by the Turk h troops at various points on the ulgarian and Servian frontier. The visions of the Turkish army were -dered to make a simultaneous for ard movement. In giving the or ar for a general advance the Otto an war minister mentioned only at the movement was to be made ainst the frontiers of Bulgaria and wrvia. There is a powerful Turk I army concentrated near the reek frontier, but this has not yet ion put into motion. A note addressed by the Turkish vernment Thursday morning to the ulgaran and Servian legislations at ,nstantinople said it was impossible Smaintain peace any longer, not ithstanding that it was the ardent sire of the Porte to do so. It was, erefore, obliged to put an end to i missions of the Bulgarian and rvan legations, and the diplomats ere nvited to leave Constantinople the earliest moment. The note stated that the steps was ken in consequence of the recent yte handed in to the Turkish Gov -nment by the iBalkan States, which urkey considered constituted an in rference with her internal affairs. second factor was the mobilization adertaken by Servia and Bulgaria, d the third reason was the daily drmishes on the frontier. Turkey has withdrawn a large sum Smoney reported to be $17,500,000 -om Germany, according to reports -om Bucharest. The money was de sited in Germany during the reign Abdul Hamid and was ear-marked elusively for a war fund. The wax now In full blast, and soon we will ear of some decisive battles.

WOUNDI HEAIMN EXRAY SHOWS BULLET FRACTUR ED THE FOURTH RIB WOUND IS NOT SERIOUS Surgeons Make Statement Concera ing Colonel Condition After Thor ough Examination and First Su cessful X-Ray Picture-Bullet Ap parently Imbedded in Broken B. The bullet wound inflicted in Col. Roosevelt's chest at Milwaukee Mon day night, it officially was announced Thursday for the first time, is healing normally without infection. The statement that no complications have shown themselves was made after a day during whieh the first successful X-ray picture of the wound in' the Colonel's chest was examined by the surgeons. The fact developed that the would be assassin's 'bullet fractured the Col onel's fourth rib. The missile re mains imbedded, apparently, in the bone. The fracture, however, it is stated, will not affect the treatment fn any way, but will be allowed to seal untreated, as will the wound. A description of the wound given Wednesday night by Dr. W. B. Mc Cauley is the first to be given to the public by the surgeons. He said that he bullet's path through the muscles r' the chest is lacerated to some ex :ent by the battered lead, but that :here was little contusion and no ex :ensive area of bruised and extrava sated surrounding tissues. "The bullet did not 'mushroom,' is might have been expected," said Dr. McCauley. "For teat reason it ut a comparatively small hole in the kin and did not reduce a large por ion of the nearby tissues to pulp, as s the case in a soft bullet that 'mush ooms' in animal tissues after it hits L bone. I think the bundle of papers n Col. Roosevelt's pocket checked it end the spectacle case, for some rea on, failed to spread the bullet much. "The wound is about big enough o put your finger in at the surface end it doesn't appear to get very uch bigger. I would call It a very lean wound. The skin is torn at the urface in a ragged way, but not badly, and there is little bruising." The impression grew Wednesday bat Colonel Roosevelt would be able o do little or nothing more In the ampaign. Although he expressed he hope of leaving for Oyster Bay unday, it Is probable that he will be ompelled to remain in the hospital or at least a week longer, and that Lfter his arrival to plunge into the ampaign again. There was little in the appearance f Colonel Roosevelt to Indicate that ie was not in his usual health. His ace has not lost its color, and, as he at propped up with pillows, he mov *d about easily and apparently was ree from pain. As he talked he'used is characteristic gestures, although rith perhaps less vigor than is usual ith him, and at times his laugh ould be heard in the corridor out ide. He seemed to enjoy his relief rom the cares of politics and seem 6 determined to make his stay In the ospital an enjoyable vacation. His lree children who are in Chicago, ropped In to see him three times uring the day, talking for an half our each time. Mrs. Roosevelt rouldn't permit them to remain Ion er, lest her husband tire himself. Messages of condolence continued a pour in to-day from all parts of le world. Among them were cable rams from crowned heads of Eu rope. One of the messages was rm Samuel Gompers, president of le American Federation of Labor, eading: "Upon learning of the outrageous ttack upon you, I was too much hocked to find expression. I join rith the men of organized labor In ommon with all our people who are rofoundly hoping for and expecting our speedy recovery." THINKS SCHIRANK INSANE. hat is What Alienists Say of Roose velt's Assailant. The conviction that John Schrank, ~ol. Roosevelt's assailant, is insane is xpressed in a statemen. given out by bree prominent New York alienists, )r. S. Carios McDonald, William Ma ton, and Max Schlapp. The state ent adds: "It is apparent that Roosevelt's .ssailant belongs to the class of men al defectives who are potential crim nals, liable at any moment to com uit deeds of violence upon the slight st provocation. "It is certain that numbers of such l-balanced individuals are to-day at arge in this city. There should be ome system whereby competent ox 'erts can see such individuals and udge whether the community should me safeguarded against them. We econmmend the establishment of a learing house for the examination f mentally defective persons, under he charge of a body of accredited xperts in mental and nervous di eases."
