HILLES REFUTES ft PET CAMPAIGN LIE Retracts Statement Harvester'Cbmpany Contributed to Roosevelt.

(National News Association) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 30. . Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the Republican national committee has practically admitted that George W. Perkins told the truth in calling him (Hilles) a liar regarding the Republican ' chairman's gtatecent that the Harvester trust spent millions of dollars to get the Republican nomination for Theodore Roosevelt at Chicago. Since George W. Perkins called the statement a "plain, downright lie," and demanded that the Clapp investigating committee of the senate summon Mr. Hilles and force him to either retract or substantiate his accusation, the national chairman of the Republican party has become wavy. Statement Spread Broadcast. In his statement in the Hearst newspapers he made the deliberate accusation" over his signature that "Roose- ,,. velt spent millions of dollars of Harvester trust money to gain the Republican nomination." The statement was circulated broadcast by the Republicans and the Democrats as a campaign document. Confronted with the fact that he will have to prove the statement, Hilles Immediately retracted it. At the Union League, where he was a guest of William T. Tilden, he said, that he meant that George W. Perkins, as a private individual, spent the mo- : ney. . -;" '' : . - ' ' - He. carefully explained that be had bo evidence and did not wish to state that the Harvester Trust as a corporation ever spent any money at air in Theodore Roosevelt's campaign. He was told that Perkins had called the statement untrue, and that he had asked the senatorial commission, headed by Senator Clapp, to summon him (Hilles) and force him to prove his statement or else retract it. "He hedged about for a while before gulping down the bald signed statement that he had made, but finally came out with the declaration that he meant -that Perkins, who made his money from the Harvester trust, spent some of his own private fortune. Where Money Came From. He distinguished carefully between the Harvester trust and the money tfhleh Perkins made from the Harvester trust, but tried to pull a herring across the trail by intimating that the money which Perkins spent came originally from trust sources. ' "I don't say that the Harvester trust as a corporation spent any money at all for Roosevelt," said Hilles. "I do Bay that George W. Perkins spent the money through that trust." , "Do you meafl that Perkins was spending trust money when he contributed to the Roosevelt campaign?" he vas asked. "No. It was his" private fortune." ' Hilles then intimated that his statement In the Hn ret papers was not to be taken literally. .""If the Harvester trust contributed any money to the Roosevelt campaign it would be againit the law." he said, "and I do not claim that." .Hilles was asked whether, in his opinion, if a man who had made his money in the wool trust contributed to the Taf t campaign,' he would say that the wool trust was contributing. "No, I would not," he said. "And I do not charge the Harvester trust with pending money for Roosevelt. It was George W. Perkins" money." OPENING RECEPTION !

Music Lovers are the Same A 11 Over the World Sousa States

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "Music lovers are th-3 same the world over," said John Philip Sousa, the world's most celebrated band director to a representative of the Palladium this morning. This in reply to a question as to where the most enthusiasm was manifested in the recent tour of the globe made by this famous organization. "Presumably those who go to a concert go because they like music," said Mr. Sousa, "and audiences are very much alike in Johannesburg, London or Richmond, Indiana." "I have played in a good many Richmonds for there are a number of Richmonds in the field, said Mr. Sousa wittily. "Richmond, England; . Richmond, Virginia, and other Richmonds. "We celebrated our anniversary the other day," went on the great composer, "for we came of age on the 26th. On that day the band was twenty-one years old we were, I think, in Springfield, Ohio and there are five of the original company now in the present organization. "Our organization is, perhaps, unique in its musical complexion," said Mr. Sousa in reply to a question or two as to its artistic ideals. "I was told that I could not conduct one on Its basis. That it was musically anachronistic. Artistically anomalous. But the celebration of our coming of age refutes these predictions." Sousa, who is evidently something of a musical anarchist in that he is not hampered by tradition and ignores precedents preferring to create his own states that there is no reason why he should not play an arrangeFAILED IN EFFORT . To Secure a Divorce Decree Because Client Erred. Daniel Coleman, a negro employed by the street department of the city, failed to secure a divorce in the Wayne circuit court this morning because he declared that he would have been willing to live with his wife, even after she had admitted that she had been guilty of having intimate relations with another man. The allegation in the divorce petition was adultery. The judge questioned Coleman as to whether he was willing to live with i his wife after she had admitted her guilt. "Why yes, I wasn't mad at her for that," he replied. "It was because " "That is enough," the judge interrupted. "I can't grant a divorce on that ground." The attorney for the plaintiff was evidently displeased at the "balk" made by his client. COUNCIL MEETS NEXT MONDAY The city councill will not meet this evening. As this is the fifth Monday in the month and not the first Monday in October, the city fathers will not hold their meeting until a week later. Citizens generally are anticipating with much interest the proceedings of the next session. UPON HOME STRETCH 1 Col. Roosevelt Today Goes Into Tennessee. (National News Association) CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Sept. 30. Col. Roosevelt started on the home stretch of his swing' around the circle today and invaded the Republican stronghold of eastern Tennessee.

ment for some popular song of the hour as an encore for a Wagnerian number or other musical classic. That it is not so much the matter as the manner. In other words that a director or composer can lend the fire of his genius, or the peculiarities of his talents, to any composition of whatever character and interpret it with artistic eclat. In some general remarks as to the character of great instrumental ensemble bodies Sousa talked interestingly of their varying form. The Symphony orchestra, which was the most perfect expression; of the Casino band, whose existence is more entirely continental; of the military band which must, said Sousa, work impressionistlcally, in big, broad effects,

rather than in finer detail; of the or-1 ganization made up entirely of the brasses and their different manifestations. "Isn't that rather ancient history?" asked Sousa smilingly in response to a question from the reporter as to has original connection with the United States Marine Band. Nonetheless the great bandmaster referred reminiscently to his leadership of that organization although he modestly refused to agree to the well known fact that it was he who gave this band its fame. Sousa's personality is one of great charm the famous "march king" possessing an easy and aggreable manner and a fluent address. His appearance here after his great world tour is interesting and the band's engagement one of the musical events of the local season. CATCH BLACKMAILER In Act of Picking up a Decoy Package. .
