Money King Testifies that He Was Never Asked by-

Roosevelt to Contribute for the Campaign. HE SAYS HIS FIRM DONATED $150,000 In 1904 Campaign, but Em phatically Repudiates Story Wayne MacVeagh Asked Him for Contribution. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. J. Pierpont Morgan, the money king, was the star witness before the senate committee investigating campaign funds today. He testified that the firm of J. P. Morgan & company gave $150,000 to the Republican campaign fund in 1904, of which $100,000 was given in October and the other $50,000 on November 1, of that year. Mr. Morgan said the contributions were given for the good of the country generally. He wanted it distinctly understood that no promise of return or immunity had been received in exchange, and he emphasized the fact that the donations were made by the firm of Morgan & Company and not himself personally. Mr. Morgan declared that the request for funds did not come from President Roosevelt, as heretofore rumored. In 1908, Mr. Morgan testified, his firm donated xnly $20,000 to the Republican campaign fund. Charles. H. Duell, assistant treasurer of the Republican national committee in 1904, testified that three New York insurance companies gave $50,000 each to the Republican fund that year. ' Much Interest Shown. Great , interest was shown in Mr. Morgan's testimony. Senator Clapp began his examination by reading a newspaper clipping containing statement' by' CnaTles Edward " Russell," In which the"wfltef' charged . that' .Theodore Roosevelt while president demanded that Morgan raise $100,000 additional to the sum the banker had already contributed for Roosevelt's light against Parker. The clipping told of a visit mdde by Wayne MacVeagh j to the office of Morgan in October, 1904, at which time Morgan was called to the telephone to talk to "somebody in Washington." At the end of the reading of the clipping the chairman asked, "do you recall an incident of this kind?" "None at all," replied Morgan. "Do you recall a visit of MacVeagh to your office?" "No, I don't but he may have come there. The circumstances of the telephone is a fiction made out of whole cloth. I never had any communication through the mails or over the telephone with President Roosevelt in my life," said Morgan. After consulting a notebook Mr. Morgan said that in October 1904, he gave $100,000 and added $50,000 more on November 1 to the Republican funds. Mr. Morgan could not recall .any other contributions made in 1904 to the Republican funds and said that he had no knowledge of his firm contributing to any of the other political parties. In reply to questions Mr. Morgan Baid he assumed it was Mr. Bliss who solicited the donations. Mr. Morgan said he knew nothing of E. H. Harriman having solicited funds from his l!rm and declared there never was any combination of big business interests to support or oppose any nominee.

Warlike Preparations Continue with Feverish Activity. Greece Commandeers Vessel in N. Y.

TURKISH PRIESTS PREACH HOLY WAR Balkan States Told by Powers that They Cannot Grab Territory if They Enter into Conflict. (National News Association) NEW YORK, Oct. 3 Just as the j Greek steamship Macedonia was about to sail for Athens today she was commandeered by the -Greek consul general at this port and her two thousand passengers were ordered to debark. The Macedonia later sailed for Philadelphia, where she will be loaded Mlth ammunition for the Greek army and navy. PREACH HOLY WAR. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 3. Throughout Turkey priests of the Moslem faith are preaching a holy war against all Christiandom. Fanatics demanding of the government that war be declared not only against the Balkan states but against all Europe. The Shiek Ul-Islam, head of the Mohammedan priesthood is in daily consultation with the Turkish ministry. The Turks are distributing inflammatory circulars throughout European Turkey urging all Turks who are old enough to bear arms to rise up against the Christians. Practically all the Christians throughout the Balkans are members of the Greek Catholic church. $ Because of the danger from fanaticism this is the most dangerous element yet injected Into the situation. There are fears of wholesale massacres of Christians in regions where the Turks are in control. : V HOLD. A CONFERENCE: " PARIS. Oct. 2s An imnortant con ference of the representatives of the ! powers on the Balkan situation was held at the foreign office today presided over by M. Poincaire. the J French foreign minister. It was attenj ded by the diplomatic envoys of Eng land, Germany, Austria, Russia, Bulgaria, Greece, Servia and Montenegro. The conference is reported to have dwelt principally with the financial phase of the situation by which the powers with the possible exception of Austria will act independently in refusing war loans. Afterwards M. Stancioff, Bulgarian minister to France, declared that his government has been and still is working for peace. "My home government . is fully In accord with the European powers which are seeking to prevent a Balkan war," said M. Stancioff. "We must be on the defensive, however, in view of the military activities of Turkey. It is true that the Bulgarian army is being mobilized but this is a precautionary measure. It is not to be interpreted as an , aggressive act toward Turkey or any other power. Scope Being Limited. ''Tne powers of the continental "nations have tacitly agreed that if war should come it must not be a conflict for territorial acquisition. "This is of course to prevent .tne embroilment of any European power. "The Bulgarian government as well as the governments of other of tbe near eastern powers have insisted that Tiirlreir nurrr tmi tho ternns nf the Berlin convention for Balkan reforms. "Turkey has hesitated to the point where her action might be interpreted as flat refusal. These reforms are recognized as just and unless they are brought about there will always be unrest In Balkan territory. I believe that the mighty chancellories of Europe realize that affairs must . be brought to a head, but if Turkey can be influenced by peaceful measures Instead of war I am sure that the satisfaction felt by the Balkan governments Will be as great as that felt by the governments of Europe.

Democratic Presidential Candidate Stops Here a Brief Time Enroute to Indianapolis Today.

SMALL CROWD WAS AT LOCAL STATION It Was Not Generally Known the Candidate Was to Pass Through. Party Leaders Greet Him. Smiling genially, Governor Wood row Wilson, of New Jersey, stepped from his private car at the Pennsyl vania station this morning and shook hands with a number of the small crowd who had gathered about his train to greet him. The Governor's train stopped at the Union station about five minutes and the Governor did not have time to address his ad mirers. This was the first stop made by the Wileon party since leaving New York, for Indianapolis. The train arrived here shortly before 11 o'clock. It is highly probable that a much larger crowd would have been at the station had it been known yesterday that Mr. Wilson was to stop in Rich mond. The first notice to that effect was received this .norning and con sidering the short notice the crowd was fairly large. Cheers Greet Wilson When the Governor appeared on the rear platform of his car he was lustily cheered. He then stepped from the car to the platform below and heartily shook the hands of those who eagerly pushed up to greet him. A number of local Democratic lead ers boarded the train here. Another party of Indianapolis men arrived "here at 10 o'clock and returned on the presidential candidate's train. Among those in the Indianapolis delegation were Bernard Korbly, Dem ocratic state chairman: Charles A. Korbly congressman from the Sev enth district; Judge M. B. Hottel, Reginald Sullivan," Dem6cratic chairman of Marion county, and Mark , Thistlethwaite, formerly of this city, secretary to Governor Marshall. Governor Wilson's private steno grapher gave out the following state ment, dictated . by. the candidate, on the nomination of William Sulzer by the New York Democratic convention yesterday. "The freedom, both of action and of chfcice, which the convention exercised must afford every Democrat greatL satisfaction. In choosing a candidate it named a man whose reputation for integrity and independence is unquestionable, a man of high principle, devoted to the public interest. Mr. Sulzer, as the chairman of one of the most important committees in congress, has shown- capacity and discretion of a very fine sort. He certainly deserves the suffrage of independent men of every caste. His running mate, Mr. Glynn, has a very enviable reputation, both for , capacity and independence, and the ticket as a whole is of the kind to gratify progressive Democrats , very deeply. Both candidates 'have already shown character and capacity in the service of the great state of New York." Congratulates Sulzer. Governor Wilson made public here today the telegram sent to each of the two nominees of the Syracuse convention. It follows: "My heartiest congratulations and good wishes. . I am greatly gratified by the action of the convention." Before the arrival of the Wilson train, Bernard Korbly, state chairman, was interviewed by a representative of the Palladium in regard to the Syra cuse convention. Mr." Korbly was asked if, in his opinion, the nomination of Mr. Sulzer to bead the ticket in New York was really a Wilson victory over Tim Murphy of Tammany fame. Mr. Korbly evaded giving a direct answer to the question, saying that Mr. Sulzer was a man of high ideals an that he was against special priviIedge of any kind ; that he would not accept campaign''' contributions from any corporations. . . "What do you think of Mr. Roosevelt's invasion of the South," Mr. Korbly was aBked. . "It will do him no good," he curtly ; replied. "Colonel Roosevelt will not i carry a single Southern state." "From your point of view, what is the outlook for the Democratic party. mot only in this state but nationally, the state chairman was asked. "Nothing to it but the shouUng," came the answer. "And further," Korbly continued, "We're going to find out a great deal about the campaign contributions of the other two parties." POOR ARE ASKING FOR FUEL SUPPLIES With the advent of cooler weather.

LONDON, Oct. 3. The quesUon whether that extremely militant suf-. fragette, Miss Christabelle Pankhurst, is ex-jmpt from extradition in Paris ' is not so simple as it may appear. The existing extradition treaty with France, signed in 1876, expressly ejwrlndes malicious Injury to property, if the offense is indictable. If the matter rested there. Miss Pankhurst would not be protected. The treaty, however, provides that no accused person shall be surrendered If the offense in question thall be deemed by the State upon which the demand is made to be a poliUcal offense or ai act connected with such an offence. It would rest with the French authoriUes to decide whether deliberate injuries to private. properety committed in time of quiet, constituted a political offense or not. ,

TARIFF WAS DEALT WITH BY CANDIDATE Says the Progressive Part)' . Stands for Square Deal to Workers and It Deserves Victory. This noon Gterluf Jensen, Progres sive candidate for congressman. spoVe to a good crowd of employes of the Wayne Works. He told his audienc -that the Progressive party was the only one which advocated sane and bene ficial legislation for the men and wo men in the ordinary walks of life. He " said the party was founded by the people for the purpose of bringing about better conditions for themselves and that the people should support their own party. Prosperity ' which bens- . fited only a., few classes of ctUzens was unhealthy prosperity, hs said. and he pointed ost that the Progres sive party stood for a prosperity that would beneficially affect every class. . This could be obtained, he said, by es : tabllshtcg a tariff low enough to re- . lieve the condition of the wage-earn- . era, and high enough to protect legiti- ' mats business interests. rThe Democratic party advocates rs " moval of tariff, thereby dealing a death blow to American business and throwing the workers Into competition with cheap European labor. What G. O. P Is For. , The Republican party, on the other hand, he said, advocated extreme protection for Bis Business, which meant the contlnua on" of small wages for the workers and exhorbitant prices tc necessities of life. . .
