PENROSE ATTACKS COLONEL, AND ROOSEVELT HITS BACK

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. Senator Boies Penrose, of Pennsylvania, stood in the presence of the United States Senate yesterday before a full attendance of senators and with galleries crowded to the utmost, and made a confession of the most startling import, corroborating to the fullest extent the claim made by Progressives as to how "big business" has ruled the politics of the country by contributing to campaign funds and getting its takeoff either in immunity from prosecution or in tariff graft obtained through inordinate protective schedules. Listen in Astonishment. The impression made upon the Senate Progressives by Senator Penrose's speech, which was his long-heralded answer to the charges accusing him of too close a relationship, since he has been a senator, with the Standard Oil company and of accepting a check for $25,000 from that octopus, was best stated by Senator Borah of Idaho, who listened in astonishment to what Penrose had to say. "I think the average normal citizen who reads that speech will feel like taking a bath and an emetic. He admits everything and seems to be glad of it," said Senator Borah. Speaking in a wholly matter- of-fact way, as If such performances were in strict good taste, Senator Penrose told how he had milked the Standard Oil company for a contribution of $125,000 in 1904, of which $25,000 was con tributed to him for use in the campaign in Pennsylvania and the remain ing $100,000 was turned over to Cor nelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the Re publican national committee. Senator Penrose explained to an already disgusted crowd of listeners that he was considerably younger in 1904 than he is now and anxious to make as good a record as possible as state chairman, so he accepted the Standard Oil's contribution of $25,000 and was "highly gratified by the result in the state." Proud of Bribe Offer. He also referred with great pride to the alleged fact that he had been offered a bribe of between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 to procure the senatorship for William Flinn as successor of Senator Quay. While admitting enough to condemn any public man, Senator Penrose dodged some of the most important charges made against him. He did not explain how he spent the $25,000 which the Standard Oil contributed for use in Pennsylvania. He said nothing whatever about the charge, which is substantiated by correspondence, that as a member of the Industrial Commission, with access to its facts and information, he furnished John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil company a copy of the commission's report before it was made public and that it was given Archbold's O. K. Will Force Investigation. The general consensus of opinion tonight is that Penrose's remarkable confession will force a thorough con gressional investigation of the rela-i tions between Big Business and poli"President Roosevelt had been advised of the contribution," Senator Penrose declared. He said that later Cornelius N. Bliss, then treasurer of the national committee, asked for another contribution of $150,000 from Archbold and his associates "interested in the Standard Oil company." "The demand was urgent, insistent I may say, imperative and it was represented that it came direct from President Roosevelt," declared Senator Penrose forcefully. Promises More Details. At the conclusion of his speech the senator promised further disclosures. Senator Stone, of Missouri, asked him if he knew anything of the contribution of E. H. Harriman to the 1904 Republican campaign fund. "The papers are on file, and letters exist," 3aid Senator Penrose, "which I think, during the campaign, 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 Senator Stone. "They are hidden in the archives of campaign committees, in the cellars and vaults of business men and in the offices of lawyers," returned Senator Penrose. "I think the time has come when these charges should be met and the American people should no longer be gulled by answers which insinuate that another man is a liar." How to Clean Hats. The easiest way to keep the straw hats of the family as good as new is to buy 5 cents worth of oxalic acid, a clean, soft cloth and a toothbrush. Dissolve the acid, take the hat in the left hand, dip the brush in the acid, rub a small piece at a time and then rinse off with water and wipe dry. Work rapidly, holding the hat so the acid and water will run off. With care it can be done without taking off the band and accomplished in a few minutes. It is best to work near a faucet. How to Serve Demi-tags. The very latest wrinkle in coffee serving is to pass rock candy broken in tiny bits Instead of the customary lump sugar. The tiny coffee cups so much in vogue now in their silver holders are entirely too small to use even a half lump of sugar. So the rock candy not only Is advantageous, but looks very pretty heaped In a little silver or glass susrar bowl. No Truce In Sight. "Bumpus. your old enemy informs me that he Is ready to bury the hatchet. I suppose that will mean a cessation of hostilities ? ' "Hardly. You see, he wants to bury the hatchet In me."

WILKESBARRE, Pa., Aug. 22. An attack on Senator Penrose was made by Col. Roosevelt last night after he

had read the senator's statement in the senate. The former president j quoted from letters and telegrams which he sent to George B. Cortelyou, chairman of the Republican national committee in 1904, to prove that no contributions had been accepted from the Standard Oil company. "Mr. Penrose and his allies and the entire crowd of crooked politicians and crooked financiers who have attempted to make these attacks upon me," said Col. Roosevelt, "have made them and are making them, not only knowing that they are false, but because they are false and because they know that the forces behind me, which I at this time represent, are' the only forces which the crooked politicians and crooked financiers of the country have really to fear. Brands Statement False. , "The only part of Mr. Penrose's statement that needs comment by me is that portion In which it is asserted that I had been advised of a heavy campaign contribution from Mr. Archbold in behalf of the Standard Oil company to the Republican national campaign committee, and that I directly or indirectly requested a contribution from Mr. Archbold and his associates interested in the Standard Oil company. This statement is false." Col. Roosevelt then read from copies of letters which he said he had sent to Mr. Cortelyou in the latter part of October, 1904. In these letters he said he had been informed that the "Stand ard Oil people" had contributed $100,000 to the campaign and he told Mr. Cortelyou that if it was true that such a contribution had been made the money should be returned at once. He wrote that "in view of the open and pronounced opposition of the Standard Oil company to the establishment of a bureau of corporations, one of the most important accomplishments of my administration, I do not feel willing to accept its aid. I request, therefore, that the contributions be returned without further delay. No Contribution Accepted. "Mr. Cortelyou informed me," said Mr. Roosevelt, "that there had been no contribution received from the Standard Oil people and that none would be received. Over the phone last night, in response to a question of mine, he said that he had at that time made this statement, and that his memory and mine agreed entirely as to the circumstances of the occurrence. "If any contribution was received it was against my explicit and reiterated directions as set forth in these letters, in response to which, as I have said, Mr. Cortelyou informed me that my directions would be complied with and no contributions accepted from the Standard Oil people." Col. Roosevelt then quoted from an open letter issued just prior to the 1904 election by Mr. Cortelyou, saying that every contribution was made without pledge or understanding regarding the policy of the administra tion. Penrose Fears Elimination. Referring to Mr. Penrose and his al lies, Mr. Roosevelt said: 'They know that the triumph of the Progressive cause, and only the tri umph of the Progressive cause that is, the Progressive party means the elimination from politics of the Penroses and means driving from their entrenchment in both business and politics the powers of special privilege such as the Standard Oil company. Naturally these men, aided by the newspapeers which they control, will stop at nothing in order to rid themselves of the only enemies they really fear, and the measure of their hatred should be sure of the support given to us by every honest American." It Pleased the Composer. A curious story is told as to bow the Rothschilds supported Carafa. the composer. The latter was far from rich. His principal income was derived from a snuffbox. And this was the way of it: The snuffbox was given to the author of "La Prison d'Edinbourgh by Baron James de Rothschild as a token of esteem. Carafa sold it twenty-four hours later for 75 napoleons to the same Jeweler from whom It had been J bought. This became known to Rothschild, who gave it again to the musician on the following year. The next day it returned to the Jeweler. This traffic continued till the death of the banker and longer still, for his sons kept up the tradition, to the great satisfaction of Carafa. Reversed the Terms. An old negro who lived on a southern plantation went to the nearby city for a visit and while there went to see his young "marster," who was living in th city at the time. On his return the young man's mother asked if he was in good spirits. "Well, mum," responded the old negro. "I reckon I'll 'spress it a little diffunt an say de good sperrits wuz in Marse Jeems." Exchange. Her Banking Plan. "I should like to open an account at this bank, if you please." "We shall be glad to accommodate you. madam. What amount do yon wish to deposit? "Oh. but I mean a charge account such as I have at the big dry goods stores." Chicago Tribune. Business Associates. Messenger Who's the swell ye was talkin' to, Jimmie?

Manager Dooin of Wins Argument

The conversation had switched to J baseball in one of the downtown bar-1 ber shoos last' evening. The integrity ;

of managers and players, umpires and games that the sport would be killed, officials, was the topic on which the j I know what I am talking about." tonsorial artists were declaiming. j But the barber doubted his custo"The game can't be on the square mer's knowledge of the national game when you consider the Evers suspen- and adduced more argument to con-

"You've got to show me that the game isn't a frame-up from beginning to end. and that the league officials aren't conspiring against the Cubs," continued the lather artist. "Ugh," grunted the patron who was trying to dodge the lather dauber long enough-to take part in the conversa tion. "And I would not be surprised if some teams threw games now and then to help a pennant chaser," affirmed the barber with a wisdom seemingly born from inside information. By that time he had deftly wiped with his little finger the lather out of the mouth of his customer and given him an opportunity to speak. "You poor, ignorant bone head," exploded the latter, "do you thing baseball players are crooks? Baseball is NEW MAIMERVICE From Richmond to East Is a Great Improvement. Through correspondence with the superintendent of the Railway Mail Service, Postmaster Haas, has added another dispatch of mails for eastern points. No mails are dispatched east over the Pennsylvania lines now between 9:20 a. m. and 4:30 p. m. It was discovered that mail might be dispatched via the Springfield local which leaves here at 2:20 which makes connection at Xenia with fast train No. 40 out of Cincinnati and which arrives ahead of No. 20 in New York by 4 hours and 14 minutes. This is quite an important addition to the service and will prove very valuable to business men. All mail deposited now up to 1:40 p. m. will arrive in New York next morning at 9:20 a. m., which will gain a whole day In getting reply over train No. 20, which leaves here at 4:20 p. m. and arrives at New York at 1:34 p. m. Mails for Columbus, Ohio, and east of there will only be dispatched on this train. The new service will be started next Monday. HOW TO GROW VEGETABLES. Seeds Should Never Be Sown Just After a Rainstorm. Just after a rain is a poor time to sow seeds. It is better to wait until the ground can be raked or harrowed easily. When transplanting is to be done, first wet the ground thoroughly-. Then it will be possible to take up a good ball of earth with the plant and the roots will not suffer. Corn and melons should not be cultivated deeply. The roots grow near the surface, and merely stirring the soil sufficiently to create a dust mulch Is all the plants require. It 19 Important to have the garden tools sharp. Some people never think of sharpening the blade of a hoe, but It is altogether worth while. Squashes keep best if allowed to remain on the vines as long as possible before the season of bard frosts. Then they get thoroughly ripened and the shell well hardened. Poultry manure Is a good dress Ids for the vegetable garden if scattered over the ground in the spring and cultivated in. It is particularly good for forcing the growth of onions. Seeds of beets, parsnips and carrots germinate slowly. Often weeds come up thickly before the plants appear, but the gardener is afraid to cultivate. A few radish seeds sown with the others will obviate this difficulty by mark ing the rows within a few days. Some gardeners greatly improve their lettuce, Swiss chard and spinach by growing them under a canopy of cheesecloth held about five feet above the ground by stakes or a light frame. An excellent way to economize labor in watering plants is to sink a tomato can Into the ground at the base of each plant having first punched the bottom full of holes. The water poured into the can will reach the roots directly and not be wasted. Weak manure water may be given this way to excellent advantage if the plants need feeding. Generally speaking, the depth to ptant1 should be four times the diameter of the seeds. There seems to be no likelihood of exterminating the aligators of Colum bia, no matter how great the slaughter as each femaje lays about one hundred eggs a year.

A WIISS10HJESTIVAL To Be Held at St. John's for First Time in 40 Years. For the first time in forty years St. John's Lutheran church will next Sunday celebrate a mission festival. Although interested in missions and always liberal in its support of the cause, the congregation in the last four decades never set aside a Sunday devoted exclusively to the consideration of the mission cause. The congregation will be addressed next Sunday by two of the ablest pastors of the Joint Synod. Dr. F. Ernst, director of Luther Theological seminary, St. Paul, and rated one of the foremost Lutheran theologians of the United States, will declare the sermon in the morning. The Rev. Carl Hein, of Columbus, Ohio, associate editor of the German Lutheran church paper, will preach in the evening. Both sermons will be in the German language. A MISSOURI JUDGE As shown by a letter received by Judge Fox this morning, the Judge of the probate court of St Genieve county, Mo., is in conflict with Webster's dictionary. The letter pertained to a court matter and the Missouri probate Judge used the word "desition." Upon first reading Judge Fox could not understand the meaning of the word, but after reading the letter twice he arrived at the conclusion that the Missouri judge meant to use the word "decision."

MISSIOIIS A TOPIC FOR JOIIIT SYIIOD Both Home and Foreign

Work Considered at Dayton Meeting Today. (Palladium Special) DAYTON. O.. Aug. 22. After the perfection of an organisation, the Lutheran Joint Synod, in session here, today devoted its attention to a consideration of home and foreign missions, la conformity with a rule adopted by the preliminary committee on organization and program, no delegate was permitted to speak longer than five minutes on the same subject. The report of the ReT. Paul F. Heln. home mission executive, showed that the work had been conducted in the last two years without Incurring a dollar of debt. Nineteen fields became self supporting. The board Is supporting 103 missionaries in the United States and Canada. The most distress ing need of the board, the executive reported, is the lack of missionaries to occupy strategic fields. The report of the board on colored missions showed that this work has made the most encouraging progress in the last twenty years. The advisability of buying a mission post in India of the Hermannsburg Mission society of Germany, provoked a lengthy discussion. The moneys collected in the joint synod for many years have gone into the treasury of the German society. In the last year a well defined movement among the laity demanded that the synod occupy Its own foreign mission work. Negotiations to purchase a field from the Hermannsburg society have not been concluded as yet. Several delegates believed the synod should begin foreign mission work nearer home, and Peru was cited as a fruitful field. Delegates from the Pacific coast pressed the claims of mission work among the orientals in that section. Friday the synod will discuss its educational institutions. Saturday is devoted to nominations and varla. The various treasuries and elemosynary Institutions are scheduled for consideration Monday. The synod will consider matters pertaining to Us publication house and its periodicals Tuesday. Wednesday is set aside for unfinished business. CITY ADVERTISEMENT. Department of Public Works.
