INI TAINTED MONET. ROOSKVKLT ALMOST DKMWDKI) MONKV, AtVORhINt; TO PKNROSK. - <?<?( $12.vhm? From standard oil? Direct t iiurge*. With Promise of ?More. Made by Pemuylvaiiiuii tffj IVor of Senate. Washington. Aug. 21.?In a careful, deliberate speech in the senate lata today. Senator Penrose replied tu charges made regarding a certificate of deposit for $25.000 sent to him by John D Archbold of the Standard Mil company in 1904. Senator i'enrose admitted receiving that sum from Mr. Archbold, but in? serted It was part of a contribution of 1125.000 made by Archbold to 'he Republican national campaign fur v'. $100,000 of wheh, he said, was to be paid to the national committee and $21.000 to himself for use in Pennsly vanl a. "President Rcosevelt had been ad? vised of the contribution." Senator Penrose said. He said that later Cor? nelius X. Bliss, then treasurer of the national committee, asked for another contribution of $150,000 from Arch bold and his associates "interested in the Standard Oil company." "The demand was urgent. Insistent, I may say Imperative .and It was rep? resented th*t ii came direct tram President Roosevelt,'* said Penrose forcefully. William Flynn. Roosevelt leader in Pennslyvania, was scored by Penros\ The senator charged that In 1004 Flynn offered him and Israel W. Dur? ham "$1.000.000 or $2.000.000" If they would foster his candidacy to the sen? ate to succeed Senator Quay. Senator Penrone read what purported to be copies of telegrams to show that Flynn asked John D. Archbold to as? sist him la being elected. Senator Penrose also attacked K. A, Van Valkenberg. editor of the Phil? adelphia Xorth American, and re? ferred to the "effrontery, hypocrisy and mendacity of the Van Valken? berg-Flynn combination." The galleries ox the senate wore filled and were bright with feminine finery In response to the announce? ment that Senator Penrose was to speak The floor was crowded with sena? tors and members of the house. He read his speech from printed proofs and talked slowly and Impressively. At the conclusion of his speech the senator promised further disclosures. Senator Stone of Missouri asked him if be knew anything of the contribu? tion of E. II. llarrlman to the 1904 Republican campaign fund. "The papers are on tile and letters exist." said Mr. Penrose. "which I think during the carrfpalgn will see the light of day. I think it would be very beneficial to the country If they should become public." "Where are they now?" asked Sen? ator Stone. They are hidden In the archiv.g of campaign committees, in the cel? lars and vaults of business men, and' in the office* of lawyers," returned 8enator Penrose. T think the time has come when these charges should be met and the American people should no longer be gulled by an? swers which Insinuate that another man is a liar." Senator Penroae had the clerk read a newspaper Interview with Ooi Roosevelt In which the latter w ifl quoted as spying hat Penrose bad nothing to do with the presidential campaign of 1904. The senator said he was a member of the national com? mittee and chairman of the Pennsyl? vania State committee, and conduct? ed the campaign In Pennsylvania "Mr. President. Is this ingratitude, mendacity or political aphasia?" he demanded. A rl, ule of laughter greeted this question. Senator Bacon asked to whom the $-'.000.000 was to be paid by the "cit Isen who wanted to be elected to the Senate" "I suppose either to Mr. Durham or myself '' responded Mr. Penrose. "We did n"t get that far In the considera? tion of the business." r I'ullM-rson of Texas, seeing a p*y h dogleal opportunity called up his bill forbidding campaign con? tributions by corporations and limit? ing the amount to be contributed by Individuals to $5.0" > A filibuster ggfilopsd tg.iinst IhS measure and after II senators had fore ml a half g**ggg roll ssJTsi gg It, the senate was for< ? .1 t..

J.ast summer .Mr. Poe requested n.e to Wilts him the results of I my Work with hairy vetch, especially what my yield of seed was per acre. I promised hini that 1 would do so, but upon thinking the matter over < I Concluded that the results were SO : \ gratifying thai it might be well to writ another year tor reai that successive crops would prove disap- | pointing, And it Is well that 1 did, ! f? r results this year from the grain end i f it were exceedingly disap- I pointing, but the yield of hay was tremendous. La i year 1 threshed the hay from seven acres and secured 3,500 pounds of seed or 500 pounds per acre. This year my yield was less than -i'0 pounds and the quality not so good. Last year, tho, my yield of hay was about 1 1-4 to 1 1-2 tons to the acre (the season was very dry) while thi? year on the same quality of land It ran at lca3t a ton better. The growth was so rank In places that it came over my horse's back. I had a few shocks of corn that were left until spring ns we did not care to damage the grain by running the gagon over it and these shocks were completely hidden by the vetch. I As tg sowing the grain, my re? sults are not in accord with those of most writers. In seeding on good land 1 would use the same quantity of oats or wheat that I would use if I did not Intend putting in the vetch and would then add 25 pounds to 4 0 pounds of vetch seed. My experience has been that a light seeding of oats would not support the vetch and it would fall down and cause you to lose a large portion of your crop. I have yet to find' the kind of land that will not grow vetch suc#essfully al? ways provided you inoculate for it. I have been growing vetch for a number of years but never take in a nev field without inoculating be? fore sowing. The best form of in? oculation is from soil where the vetch has been grown. I have made complete failures without inocula? tion on fields adjacent to the ones that had been growing vetch. The soil can be put down by hand or in the fertilizer ^art of a grain distrib? utor. I have used a distributor run? ning one time to cotton rows and secured sufficient inoculatiqn to in? oculate a 3 1-2 foot row. I have a friend that puts bis soil, seed and everything through the fertilizer part of his grain drill, but I have never attempted this. I never seed vetch after October 20, and never use any but the hairy. Wo are running a three-year ro? tation, the farm being divided into three great fields, the rotation be? ing cotton, corn, oats and vetch fol? lowed by peas. This year is the first that cotton has come since the ro? tation begun. We have cut out ni? trogen entirely ui>on 60 per cent of our cottbn, only using it where the soil was badly worn. The cotton is growing off fine and is now lapping In four-foot rows. There are fields adjacent where the owner has sim? ply run all cotton that will net av? erage one-third the size and he has used a complete fertil zer. With another round of the rotation I will cut out all nitorgen on my corn. I have found It more profitable to grow vetch and oats than cotton, and at the same time the improve? ment to my soil is simply wonderful. Anyone that will follow this rota? tion will be able to cut down more than half of his fertilizer bill. We expect to use ground phosphate rock this fall. Where soil is used for inoculation it must be kept out of the sun and covered as s<>on as put on field. I would be ungrateful in conclu? sion did I not give credit to A. G. Smith of the Hureau of Farm Management of the United States De parment of Agriculture for my suc? cess. The Department Is willing to assist anyone that is really inter? est od. Alex D. Hudson.

Last winter following the peas 1 had a very heavy volunteer crop of v. tch to come up which I turned under the first of the past May and put in cot? ton using only acid phosphate under the cotton. That field is today as black as my hat and the cotton is lapping In four-foot rows. Altho the sand is a little had it will make me more than a bale to the acre. This is what one crop of vetch followed by peas did for an abandoned field, My advice is to sow it anywhere if you only inoculate and prepare the soil."?Progressive Farmer. A Greenhorn in the Mountains. Altapass, X. C, Aug. 22.?It has been difficult for me to decide just where to begin this letter, for since leaving home I have been moving continually, seeing many things of interest to the writer, but some that are indifferent to the reader. So, while the matter was abundant, the difficulty lay in the choice. I have concluded to relate some of my ex? periences, and have thought that this article might be headed "A Green? horn in the mountains of Xorth Carolina," and so, if you chose, you may head it. You are doubtless acquainted with the notion0 of the average untraveled citizen respecting the uplands of our country, and its people, and you know from peraonal observation that they are crude in the extreme. Such are continually meeting with surprises, some not very pleasant, at least it was so with your writer. When 1 came to Altapass 1 knew no one there, had written none, had made no arrangements whatever for a place to stay, not a good thing to do, as any who tries it will find out. It was not my desire to stop on the railway; I wanted to get back in the country, or, better expressed per? haps, into the back country, not? withstanding misgivings, of roughs and toughs, illicit distilleries, etc., not always creatures of imagination, for sometimes they are grim realities. I wanted to see nature in its primitive state. In some cases one gets all and more than he is seeking. Some of my friends in Anderson county, re? minding me of Dark Corner and oth? er places, adv sed me to be cautious. It pays to be cautious in all weathers, but some are ca"tious in none. Ar? riving at Altapass I was utterly at sea as to where to go, and how to get there. True the hotels and boarding house were near, but they were not to my purpose. I approached everybodv for information, but to little purpose. After a time I discovered a man who would attract attention anywhere, not because he was pompous or showy, of medium height and slae, erect, a handsome oval face with Grecian nose, a perfect blond? It was Williard Vance. He told mc a lot of things but not exactly to my liking. I was bent on pioneering. 1 saw never a buggy, save one belong? ing to the hotel, but a few wagons were around. One of these where was j a man and a maid, I approached. They invited me to a seat with them, the girl asking me to go home with her. Yes, I have felt easier than when I crawled into that wagon.

Washington, August 22.?John D, Archbold, of the Standard Oil Com? pany, will appear at 9.30 tomorrow before the subcommittee of the son ate committee Investigating campaign contributions. The announceim nt that he would appear followed a day of bitter poli tlcal recrimination on the floor of the Senate, devoted to an effort to show I that former President Roosevelt knew that funds contributed by big corpor I ations were used to help elect him in ! 1904. The attack on former President Roosevelt today, originated in a colo quy between Senator Reed, of Missou? ri, a Democrat, and Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, Republican, who presented a resolution demanding an investigation of the circumstances set forth in his statement to the Senate yesterday, in which he charged that $100,000 of Standard Oil money went into the 1904 Roosevelt campaign fund with President Roosevelt's know ledge. Senators Penrose, Reed and Wil? liams each attacked Col. Roosevelt, and Senator Poindexter, of Washing? ton, a supporter of the new Progres? sive party, ca ne to his defence. Sen? ator Poindexter charged that a com? bination of ' regular Republicans" and Democrats was at work to defame Col. Roosevelt. The decision to summon Mr. Ach bold at once was made by Senator Clapp early in the day before the in? terrogation of Senator Penrose by Senator Reed began. He got into communication with Mr. Archbold in New York by long distance telephone and the Standard Oil official agreed to appear. Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, was designated to sit as the Democratic member of the special | committee until the return of either Senator Lea or Senator Painter. The debate between Senators Reed and Penrose was marked by the read? iness with which the latter replied to Senator Reed's questions. Early in the afternoon the two Senators wdth Senator Smith, of Maryland, had held a short conference in one of the rooms adjoining the Senate chamber. Senator Penrose, in answer to ques? tions from Senator Reed, declared that "according to his information," Col. Roosevelt knew that $100,000 of Standard Oil money had been received and spent in 1904 before he wrote a letter directing that any Standard Oil contributions be returned. A new element was injected into the political Imbroglio when Senator Penrose sug? gested to Senator Reed: "There has come to my notice quite a lot of information leading to the thought that some three million dol? lars was underwritten by George W. Perkins and his associates to nomin? ate Mr. Roosevelt for President of the regular Republican party in the pres? ent campaign for their own personal uses. Evidences regarding this matter will be submitted to the proper Sen? ate committee for consideration. The ultimate object of this enormous fund was the control of the Republican party in the interests of the elements employed by Mr. Perkins. The larg? est campaign fund in the Halted States for an American was raised for Mr. Roosevelt at the primaries last winter." Alleged contributions of ?100,000 each by the Missouri Pacific and the Southern Pacific railroads to the cam? paign fund in 1904 were mentioned by Senators Reed and Penrose, Renator Penrose declaring that President Roosevelt was always in close touch with the national committee manag? ing his campaign. When the colloquy between Sena? tors Penrose and Reed was concluded, Senator Reed made an extended speech attacking Roosevelt, reopening the question ?f the $2f.a,ooo collected for the Republican campaign land 111 I 1904 by E. 11.

Washington, Aug. 22.? The State department is determined to extend the fullest possible measure of pro? tection to American life and property in Nicaragua. It was announced to? day that if the naval forces now in that country, f,ven when heavily re? inforced by the large marine conting? ent now being assembled at League Island, and the several hundred blue? jackets en route to Corlnto, are not sufficient to assure that protection, ad? ditional forces will be rushed forward. Utterances in Congress have not moved the department. It is relying implicitly and confidently upon the long line of precedents, where Ameri? can military and naval forces have been employed without Congressional j direction in case where American life and property were in jeopardy. Of? ficials declare that this is the sole purpose of the landing of the fighting force in Nicaragua. It has not been found necessary to send any special instructions to American V.inister Weitzel or to Capt. Terhune. of the gunboat Annapolis. When the reinforcements, which will be en route to Nicaragua before the end of this week, have arr ved at their destination, the navy will have ashoro in that country the most nu? merous force it ever has landed in an American Republic in time of peace. Admiral Sutherland, who will com? mand the combined f^rce upon his arrival at Corinto on his flagship Cali? fornia, has the unlimited confidence of the State department based upon the manner in which he handled the revolutionary uprising in Santo Do? mingo about five years ago. Government officials do not admit that the prevention of the bombard? ment of an unprotected town filled with non-combatants, with many resident Americans and with substan? tial business interests within its lim? its, constitutes warfare in the mod? ern civilized sense. If the conflicting factions wish to fight the American navy commanders will not attempt to prevent them, but they must choose other grounds than the limits of a defenceless town with large American interests. There is a well grounded suspicion U at the Liberals, who have joined Gen. Mena. the conservative former s? cretary of war. in his revolt against the Conservative Diaz Government, : are in the majority at this time. If th'Ut be the case the United States au I thorities would make no objetclon to I their assuming control of the Govern? ment, but it is declared that, just as ! in the case of Panama, no military I dictatorship will be permitted and the aext president of Nicaragua must be ' a man chosen by a majority of the people by a free, and fair ballot. 1 The marines now being assembleed at Philadelphia for transposition on I the Prairie to Colon, are being drawn from the navy yards at Boston.
