Perkins appeared be fore the campaign fund investigating committee and denied that a huge fund had been collected to finance the Roosevelt campaign. The As sociated Press report says: Through out most of his examination Perkins was in a wrangle with some member of the committee. Time and again he waved a clenched fist in the air and declared that the committee "could not get away with it." Once the committee voted to expunge a remark from the record.

Mr. Perkins ac counted to the committee for ,123, 000, which, he said, he spent on the preconvention campaign of Colonel Roosevelt. "That was absolutely all of my contributions," he declared, emphati cally. Mr. Perkins could not recol lect clearly the amounts he sub scribed or collected for the republi can campaign fund of 1904. He said the various large amounts credited to "G. W. P." on the list of contributors to that fund, furnished the com mittee by Elmer Dover, were un doubtedly secured by Treasurer C. N. Bliss from men whose names he had suggested or whom he had asked per sonally to contribute. The witness also said he a'.most dropped dead when Senator Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana, returned to him $10,000 which he sent him in 1904. This was the only Instance he Knew of, he said, of a man running for office returning money after he had got his hands on it. Democrats generally will be in terested in the following report from the Associated Press: Thomas For tune Ryan loomed up as the biggest individual campaign contributor that has come to the committee's atten tion when he told of contributing ou,uuu to tne fund of Alton B. Parker in 1904 Of this sum Mr. Ryan said he gave $350,000 after he was convinced that Mr. Parker was defeated, in order to save the demo cratic organization. Half a dozen Philadelphia news paper men were sworn to testify that William Flinn, the Pittsburgh leader, was in Phiadelphia at the time Pen rose charges that Flinn offered him $1,000,000 for his support to the senatorship to succeed Senator Quay. Mr. Flinn, on the stand, declared he was not in Philadelphia at the time. The committee will meet tomor row, but it is probable no witnesses will l)e heard. Several will be sum moned for Wednesday, according to present plans, and the committee, after Wednesday's session, probably will adjourn until after election. Thomas Fortune Ryan was the first witness today. He told the com--mittee that he shouldered $350,000 of the debts of the democratic na tional campaign in 1904. "Early in the campaign," he said, "I gave $50,000 to the fund, al though I was opposed to the nomina tion of Judge Parker.
