Campaign Fund According to the

Four coiuriouiiona ui ?avv,vw
ench, from John I). Archbold, of the
Standard Oil Company; J. P. Morgan
Co., H. C. Frick and George J.
Gould, were made to the Republican
national campaign fund of 1904,
when Roosevelt ran against W. J.
Bryan, according to records of the
late Cornelius N. Bliss, which passed
through the hands of George 11.
Sheldon, treasurer of the 1908 Republican
committee, who testified o*
Wednesday before the Senate committee
investigating campaign expenditures.
Mr. Sheldon said Mr. Bliss gave
him a detailed statement of the 1904
funds; that he noted "these large
contributions," and twat ne was
positive no record appeared of the
$100,000 Archbold contribution having
been returned. With equal positiveness,
he swore that the records
showed the disputed Edward H. llarriman
fund of $240,000 had been
received by <Mr. Bliss for the New
York Republican State committee,
headed by B. B. Odell, Jr.
"That fund of $240,000 was raised
at the request of 13. 13. Odell,"
said Mr. Sheldon, "and turned over
to his committee in its entirety." Mr.
Bliss's records showed it was en- j
tirely apart from the funds spent by ,
the national committee." Mr. Shel- ,

(1011 S Siaieilieilis weie mnuc in ?. iuii (
of a day of wrangle between Senator
Joseph M. Dixon, manager of Col. j
Roosevelt's present campaign, and
members of the Senate committee.
Senator Dixon charged the com- ;
mittee with concentrating its activ- (
ities upon the Roosevelt funds and <
ignoring the financial activities in
behalf of all other candidates, Re- j
. publican and Democratic alike.
Committee members heatedly denied
this, declaring that arrangements
for the investigation had been left
entirely in the hands of Chairman i
Clapp, a stron)g supporter of the
Progressive national candidate and
that managers for all candidates had
been subpoenaed to testify.
Published statements of Govern- i
or Wilson and Senator LaFollette,
that they did not receive $70,000
contributions from Charles R. Crane,
testified to by E. H. Hooker, win |
result in the calling of Mr. Crane as'
a witness at an early date. Senator i
Dixon demanded as soon as he took '
the stand, and repeatedly throughout
his testimony, that the commit- '
tee examine "before election" every 1
one who handled funds or might
have contributed to tne pre-convention
campaign of Mr. Taft, Wilson,
Underwood, Harmon, Clark or LaFollette.
Statements by Chairman Clapp
and other members of the committee,
that these men had been summoned
did not silence Senator Dixon's
demands, or his assertion that
Col. Roosevelt was not getting a
"square deal." The charge brought
a sharp retort from Chairman Clapp,
who said the statement" reflects upon
the one member of this committee
who is friendly to Col. Roosevelt."
Senator Dixon accounted for over
$96,000 more of Roosevelt's funds
In the fight before the Republican
National Convention, at Chicago.
This was collected and expended by
him personally, he said. Ho had
kept no accurate records, ho said,
the money "going out as fast as it
came in," but over $52,000 was
spent in the conduct of campaign activity
from tho Washington headquarters.
The fund handled by Senator Dixon
was largely contributed by C.eorge
W. Perkins, Frank A. Munsey and
Dan It. Hanna. The Senator said
he tried to distribute the burden
equally amongst the three men and
thought each had given about $25,000,
while William Eno gave $10,000,
and other smaller amounts.
This fund of $96,000, was in addition
he said, to the $163,000 handled
by E. H. Hooker, at New York,

given by William Flinn, in Pennsylvania.
The amounts contributed
fctfi by Mr. Perkins, Mr. Munsey and Mr.
Hanna also were in addition to their
contributions to the Now York fund.
Senator Dixon declared he would
tell anything he could about Uoosefc
velt funds, but he insisted that tho
committee show as much activity towarn
other candidates us it ban towars
the Progressive candidate. He
if said lie had been informed that
large sums had been contributed for
the support of Taft, Wilson, Underwood,
Harmon and Clark.

LYNCHED IN PRISON
WHERE HK HAI) BEEN TAKEN TO
SAVE HIM FROM A MOB.
But ConvictH in tlio IVison Learning
That the Negro Had Assaulted a
I
White Woman Hanged Him.
Details of the lynching of Frank
Wigfall, the negro assailant of Mrs.
Esther Higgins, known as the "prisoners'
friend," by the convicts of the
State penitentiary at Rawlins, Wyo.,
Wednesday, while Sheriff Willis, at
the county jail, was holding off a
party of would-be citizen lynchers
may never be known.
The sinister threat, "the first man
who squeals is the next man hung,"
silenced all the convicts and prison
guards examined by a coroner's jury
The jury gave up the task late Wednesday
afternoon, without learning
anything.
Wigfall was placed in the county
jail late Tuesday for safe keeping, after
his capture at Kort Steel. When
the mob surged about the jail early
Wednesday morning the sheriff probably
saved the prisoner's life by slipping
him out unseen and rushing liirn
to the penitentiary nearby. Wigfall
was placed in a cell, which soon aft
prisoners marching to breakfast ha .
to pass. As they filed by the negro
made slighting remarks of his crime.
With the mob at the jail still
clamoring for the negro, about one
hundred of the prisoners broke loose
immediately after breakfast and
made a dash for the negro, who also
had been taken to breakfast. The
guard was overpowered before he
could thrust the negro into a cell and
himself locked in the cell by the infuriated
convicts.
One of the convicts produced a
rope and while the others held the
negro he tossed a half hitch over the
negro's head and made the other end
fast to the balcony rail of the cell
house. The negro was tossed over
the railway and the convicts march3d
back to their work. Not until the
cries of the imprisoned guard
brought other guards was the lynching
known to any ono except those
who took part in it.
Sunday night Wigfall broke into
Mrs. Iliggins' house, chopping down a
door with an axe. About dawn .Monday
he left her in a pitiful condition.
A few hours later she crawled to a
neighbor's house and told what happened.
Posses searched the hills all
Monday night for the aged woman's
assailant. I.ate Tuesday night he
was catured in an exhausted condition
by a justice of tne peace.

Seeing her daughte.* gradually
nearing death's door Monday, the
mother reluctantly announced she

Arrangements were quick! v made,
and Tuesday the surgeons removed

Fifteen Million Bales Needed.
Business men, traveling in the Interest
of cotton milks and visiting
null centers In Europe as well as In
this country, agree in the conclusion
that the world will need fifteen million
bales of cotton this year. Any
amount under that number will be
a short crop. A fourteen million balo
crop should give us fine prices for
cotton. Taking all reports as they
come in and putting them together,
the indications are that fourteen
Trillion bales will be raised this year,
with the probability of running half
a million less.

Congressman John JT. Fitzgerald of
New York, a Democrat and chairman
of the committee on appropriations, In
addressing the house Aug. 26, 1912, on
the subject of appropriations said,
"Thoughtful men have watched with
alarm the rapid Increase In the cost of
government in the United States." He
further said that two causes seem responsible
for many present evils:
"One, the UNFAIR AND UNJUST
SYSTEM OF TAXATION by which
an undue share of Income by those
whose circumstances in life are not
considered more than reasonably comfortable
Is taken through our customs
laws for the support of our government;
the other, the difficulty or inability
to readjust our system of taxation
and to remove many taxes from the
necennaries of life, so long a? the GOVERNMENT
IS EXTRAVAGANTLT
CONDUCTED, or the Instrumentalities
provided for the conduct of the
public service are either inefficient or
are not utilized so as to render the

THE Til,1GOT (IF WAR

revolution is. They have passed
through a month of turmoil (August),
witnessed three battles and experienced
the horrors of a bombardment.
They have seen the people ol'
the city panic stricken, women and
children killed; have borne the BUf
lorings of hunger in a town beleaguered
and have had miraculuous
escapes from exploding shells uiuj
bullets. Daily they saw hundreds of
recruits marching out blithely, with
vivas and laughter to fight, perhaps
to meet the death thousands of their
fellows already had met.
The capital of Nicarauga in August
was the focal point of the revolution
of which Gen. Luis Mena, the deposed
secretary of war, was the head.
The two military heroes of the uprising
in 19C9-10, which overthrew
Zelaya, were Bmillano Chamorro and
j mis Mena. Mena became minister of j
I war and organized the assembly,;

Then the United States stepped in.}
the American minister notifying Meno
that his election was regarded as
piemature and a violation of the pact
made with the representative of the
United States. Mena was deposed
later as minister of the war and Clen. j
Chaniorro was appointed commander-j
ln-chiei of the army. Mena eventually
tied and armed the Liberals. Thus
began the revolution which reached
its climax in the bombardment of
non-combatants?a violation of all
the morals even of the republica of
Central America, except in the case
of Zelaya who bombarded Managua
in the revolution of 1 903.
It was no part of (.Menu's plan, how
ever, to take Managua by assault.
CJen. Zeledon, some time minister of
war under Zelaya, was responsible
lor that when Mena lay helpless on a
sick bed. The bombardment was on
Monday although Zeledon had been
warned that thousands of innocent
women and children were in tiie city.
All the day the savage shelling continued,
the shells exploding all over
the town. By a strange fatality women
and children were the victims.
In one house a mother and her four
daughters were wounded. A child
sitting on a door step was cut in two.
woman with her babe at her breast,
running across the street, was struck
by a shell and both were instantly
killed. One hundred and thirty-six
women and children were killed or
wounded. The escape of hundreds of
others was miraculous.
The second evening of the bombardment
a shell hit the presidential
houses and exploded in a room where
the president and his cabinet were in
conference with General Chomorro.
Strangely enough, no one was injured.
A shell exploded in the interior
court of the house of an American
official. Four American ofTicials
and three servants wero on either
side of the court but none was hurt.
Through Monday and Tuesday the
battle raged, culminating in a sharp
attack in the afternoon. Chamorro
saved the day by leading a force
which routed the attackers momentarily.
A battalion of 400 American marines
under Maj. Butler reached 'Managua
from Panama the following day.
Their presence probably prevented
another attack. The attempt to take
the capital and thus capture the government
having failed, the scene of
war was shifted.

Shaw then fell upon her, beating
