THE OMAIIA. DAILY DEE: WEDNESDAY, ATCIIL 3, 1907. NICK ALTROCK HAS CHARGE Popular Pitcher at Head of Comiikey'i Ysnlcaos He- Friday. PA'S BOYS GETTING IN FINE TRIM lrlry and Thompson Will Do the Blab Work for Omaha Against the White So. Nick Altrook. the popular twIrW of the White So. will have charge of the dlvliilon which will play In Omaha Friday. He Is aid to have a heavy hitting bunch In his continent, m the teams he has mot will testify. Pa will send McNeeley and Thomp son In to pitch for Omaha. Interest Is being worked up over the game, evc-n though Comlskey does eee fit to send his Tanlgana to Omaha, and the olJ Vinton street park will be taxed to hold the crowd If the day Is anywhere near pleasant. Pa's boys are working the sore spots out of their system and will be In good shape by Friday. The first week was a strenuous one. but the warm weather helped and all are rounding Into snaps faster than In any former season. Austin and Hall came to Omaha In midsummer condition, Austin having played Indoor ball all winter. "If this fine weather continues we will be In midsummer form by the time the White 8ox arrive," said Captain Franck Monday after the hard practice. "While It baa hardly been warm enough to work P a sweat, the men have worked bard, snd after practice they take a good run and a Turkish bath. No, we don't have to crime down to do that, but can perform the operation right In the new club house which Pa has so thoughtfully constructed for our use. We have two stoves there, counting the water heater, and can run the temperature up to quite a height, so some of the boys can work off numbers of pounds In the bath rooms." Pa Is wearing a smile, these days, which won't come off, and all because he has a team of younssters to his liking. Pa de lights In a fast fielding team, and that he has, but he has with It a good hitting team, and one which will be fust on the bases. Such speed as some of the men showed Sunday In the game with the Originals was a surprise to all the fans. When Austin attempted to go from first to third on an Infield out and made It, the fans stood up and howled. Pa simply smiled, for he saw life ahead In the new team. To all appearances the Chicago Nationals are much stronger than they were last year. They have all their old stars, and lm addition some, new men of unusual SVosnise, to the only possibility of their Mt being as strong this year as last would have to He In the theory of their old stars being weaker, and there seems to be no debate on this score. If any of them has weakened It has not become ap parent, and If there Is any reason why any of them should be weaker now than before they won the pennant, that reason does not appear to the average observer. Chance will have a superabundance of Outfield material and It all seems to be gilt edged. There Is his old trio, Bchulte, Slagle and Sheckard, and Artie Hofmann in addition, besides Oesaler, tried and found not wanting tn the championship race last year; Randall, formerly a West ern league star, and Osborne, a promising youngster. Chance la confident of victory by hard work, but not sanguine. He la quoted as saying he thought the Cubs would pull outj In first place this season and would win the World's series, but he has not been quoted as saying he was positive of, this. Tet this seeming lack of confidence on the part of Manager Chance Is not attributable to bis belief that the Cubs are weaker or not, In fact, stronger this year than last, but simply to the fact that he, as well as everybody else, believes the other teams In the National and American leagues will be stronger and the race will be tighter. It has not always been known that mem bers of the faculty of Wisconsin univer sity were effective foot ball players, but Just the same, faculty Interference has been the means of completely putting out of the game Wisconsin's great California sprinter. Parsons. Why are these profes sors always butting In? Is the question now asked in Wisconsin. In that game Sunday before 30,000 ador. Ing fans, Stone failed to get a hit or a chance In the field.

ItlUs not Checks. ' With full belief that he. the president, would keep this agreement I came back to New York, sent for Treasurer Plies, who told me that I was their last hope and that they had exhausted every other resource. In his presence I called up an Intimate friend of Senator Depew, told him that It was necessary In order to carry New York stau? that IJO.OOO should be raised at once and If he would help I would subscribe $50, (Kin. After a few words over the telephone the gentlemnn snld he would Jet me know, which he did probably Ur three or four hours, with the result that the whole amount. Including my subscription, had been raised. "The checks were given to Treasurer miss, who took them to Chairman Cor telyou. If there were any among them of life Insurance companies or any other like organizations, of course, Cortelyou must have Informed the president. I do not know who the subscribers were, other than the friend of Depew, who was an Indi vidual. This amount enabled the New York committee to continue Its work, with the result that at least EO.000 votes were turned In the city of New York alone, making a difference of 100,000 votes In the general result. "There are between f,2o0 and 2,300 dis tricts In New York, and a campaign such as that of the expenditure of, say ISO In each district for campaign purposes, not Including the watchers on election day, would take more than $100,000. Meeting; with President. "Some lime In December, 1904, on my way from Virginia to New York, I stopped and had a short talk with the president. He told me then that he did not think It necessary to appoint Depew as ambassador to Paris as agreed, in fact, favored him for the senate. I had not expected that he was the one (sic) to what would be necessary, but he arrogated that to him self, and I, of course, could say nothing further. After that I used what Influence I could to have Depew returned to the senate, as I considered there had been Im plied obligation which should be lived up to. "This Is the way I was brought to the surface In the political matters, as I had never before taken any active part and had only done what I could, as any private citizen might, so you see I was brought forward by Roosevelt In an . attempt to help him, at his request, the same as I was In the Insurance matter by Hyde and Ryan by their request for my help; and. In the case of Ryan, I probably would have dropped the matter after our first interview had It not been for my desire to save Bel mont from taking a position for which he j could have been criticised by the public j press, as he was the one Ryan desired me i to Influence from opposing Morton for elec- tlon as chairman of the Equitable board, and Belmont afterward thanked me for taking his part, as, if he had voted against Morton In view of his local traction con tentions with Mr. Ryan, It would have been misconstrued. "Ryan's success In all his manipulations, traction deals, tobacco combination, manipulation of the State Trust company Into the Morton Trust company,' the Shoe and Leather bank Into the Bank of Com mercethus covering his tracks has been done by the adroit mind of Ellhu Root, and this present situation has been brought about by a combination of circumstances which has brought . together the Ryan-Root-Roosevelt element. "Where do I stand? "Yours sincerely, E. H. HARRIMAN." "So much for what Mr. Haniman said about me personally" says the president In concluding his first letter to Mr. Sherman. Far more Important the president regards the additional .remarks which Mr. Sherman said Mr. Haniman made to him when he asked him If he thought It was well to see "Hearstlsm and the like" triumphant over the republican party. "You," says the president, "Inform me that he told you that he did not care in the least, because those people were crooks and he could buy them," and other similar remarks. This, the president says, was doubtless partly In Noastlng cynicism and partly In a burst of bad temper, but It shewed. In the pres ident's opinion, a cynlclBm and deep-seated corruption which he denounces In strong words. The second letter to Mr. Sherman simply contains an addenda to the .first. LETTER TO CONGRESSMAN SHERMAN Test of Communication of President with llarrlmnn. WASHINGTON, April I.-Followlng la the letter to Congressman Sherman referred to In the president's statement on' the Hani man letter: WASHINGTON, Oct. 8, 1906. My Dear Sherman: Since you left this morning I succeeded In getting hold of the letters to which 1 referred and 1 sent you a copy of Governor Odell's letter to me of De cember 10, As 1 am entirely willing that you should show this letter to Mr. E. H. Harriman, I shall begin by repeating what you told me he said to you on the occasion last week when you went to ask him for a con tribution to the campaign. You Informed me that he then expressed great dUsatla faction with me, and said, In effect, so long as I was at the head of the republican party or as It was dominated by the poli cies I represent, lie would not support it, and was quite indifferent whether Hearst beat Hughes or not, or whether the demo crats won congress or not. He gave aa a reason for his personal dislike of me partly my determination to have te railroads supervised and partly the all-ied fact that after promising him to appoint Depew am harsuilor to France. 1 fnjled to do It, and I understood you to say that he alleged that 1 mode tills promise at a time when he had come down to see me In Washington, when I requested him to raise Jojo.oou for the republican political campaign which was then on. .Never Asked for Money. Any such statement Is a deliberate and willful untruth by rights It should be char acterised by an even shorter and more ugly word. I never asked Mr. Harriman to raise a dollar' for the prraM-intiHl campaign of 19M. On the contrary, our communications as regards the campaign related exclusively to the fight being made against Mr. Hlgglns for governor of New York, Mr. Harriman being Immensely interested in the success of Mr, 11 ikk Ins because he regarded the at- lacK on itiKgins as being really an attack on him, Mr. Harriman. and on his friend, tiovernor Udell, and he was concerned only In getting, me to tell Mr. Cortelyou to aid Mr. Higglns so far as he could, which I gladly did. He also (I think more than ouce) urged me to promise to make Senator Iepew ambassador to France, giv ing me In detail the reasons why this would help Governor Odell. by pleasing cer tain big financial interests. I Informed him tiiat I did not believe it would be possible for me to appoint Mr. ucpew and further more expressed my surprise at his saying that the men representing the big financial Interests of New York wished that appoint ment made Inasmuch aa a number of them had written to me aaklng that the same place be given to Mr. Hyde, and that aa a matter of fact, while I was not prepared to axinounoe my decision, I doubted whether I could appoint either Mr. Depew or Mr. Hyde to the place. Switches to Hyde. As soon aa Mr. Harriman heard that Mr. Hyde was a candidate and had asked the mutes of his backets, he hastily said that he did not wish to be understood as an tagonising Mr. Hyde, and o-M be quite willing to support hlin, and though I under stood that he still preferred Mr. Depew, he left me strongly under the impression that he would be aimoat as well suilnrted with Mr. Hyde, and was much discontented at my informing him so positively, no) once, but repeatedly, that I did not think I should be able to appoint either. His and my letteis now letor ma of the fall of lA run as follows: On his return from sending the summer In Europe In 8ept.nber he wrote me stat ing that If 1 IhuuKhl It deslratiie he wiiu.il cwuie w i-s at any uiue, lther haa or later (he had bee.rl, as you remember, a orieitaie t tne republican national con vention, having voted for my nomination. On September a I anrwered this letter, say ing: "At present there Is nothing for me to see you about, though there were one or two points In my letter of acceptance which i snouia nave liked to discus wltn you ue iW8 pulling it out." Invitee lie rr I man to Dinner. On October 10 I wrote him: "In view of the trouble over the state ticket In New York 1 should like to have a tew words with you. Io you think you can gt down here within a few days and take either lunch or dinner with me?" The trouble 1 spoke of had reference to the Iw-lt against lllngins that Is. In real ity, against Mr. Harriman and Mr. Harrl man's friend. Governor Odell. A reference to the files of the New York papers at mat time will show that thtro wae a very extensive bolt agalrml Mr. Hlggtns upon the ground that Uovernor Odell bad nomi nated him and that he had In some matters favored Mr. Harriman overmuch neither ground, In my Judgment, bnlng tenable. Mr Hairlman's bocklyg of Ooverw r IMell and extreme willingness that he showed by se curing Hlgglns' election, was a matter of common notoriety and mentioned In all the papers, notable In the New York ami. On October 1 Mr. Harriman wrote me: "I am giving a very large part of my time to correcting the trouble heje and in tend to do so if any effort on my purt can accomplish it. I will take occasion the first of next week to ru.1 down to see you and think by that time the conditions will have Improved." Letter to Harriman. I wrote Mr. Harriman the following let ter, which l give in full; "FeriKTiaJ. "October 8, 194. "My Dear-Mr. Harriman: A suggestion has come to me In a roundabout way that you do not think It wise to come on to see me in these clotting weeks of the compalgn, but you are reluctant to refuse, Inasmuch as I have asked ytu. Now, my dear sir, you and I are practical men and you are on the ground arid know the conditions bet ter than l do. If you think there is any danger of your visit to me causing trouble, or If you think there Is nothing special I should be Informed about, or no matter In which I could give aid, why, of course, give up the viii fur the time being and then, a few weeks hence, before I write my mes sage, I shall get you to come down Ho i-ls-cubs certain government matters con nected with the campaign. "With great regard, sincerely yours. You will see that this letter la absolutely Incompatible with any theory that I was asking Mr. Harriman to come down to see me In my own Interest or Intended to make any request of any kind for help from him. on the contrary, all I was con cerned with In seeing him was to know If I could help In securing the election of Mr. Higglns a man for whom I had the highest respect, and who I believed would be. as In fact he has been, a most ad mirable governor. Letter from Harriman. Moreover the following letter will show that Mr. Harriman did not have In his mind any Idea of my asking him to collect money, and that on the contrary, what he was concerned with In connection with my letter to him was the allusion I made to the fact that I would like to see him be fore I wrote my message to discuss cer tain government matters not connected with the campaign. His letter, which la of November 30. reads as follows: Dear Mr. Fresldent: 1 have Just had a telephone talk with Mr. lxeb and re quested him to give you a message from me. "I drew his attention to the last para graph of your letter to me of October H and explained, of course, that I did not want to make a trip to Washington unless It should be necessary; that the only mat ter I knew of and about which I had any apprehension and which might be referred to In your coming message to congress Is that regarding the Interstate Commerce commission, and what the attitude of the railroads should be towards It. "I have communications from many con servative men in the west asking me to take the matter up, they having, which I have not. Information as to what you pro pose to say In your message on that sub ject, and I am very apprehensive about It. "Mr. Doeb stated he believed that that part of the message could be sent to me and I hope that he will do so. I sincerely believe It would be best for all Interests that no reference be made to the subject and In any event, referred to in such a way aa not to bring about increased agita tion. It is, as you well know, the con servative elemetit, and the one on which we all rely, which Is the most seldom heard from. Yours sincerely." This letter to me was crossed by one from me which reads as follows: Another Letter to Harriman. "Strictly personal. November 30, 19)4. My Dear Mr. Harriman: Mr. Loeb tells me that you called me up today on the telephone and recalled my letter to you of October 14 In which I spoke to you of a desire to see you before sending In my message, as I wanted to go over with you certain governmental matters, and you added that fou had heard that I had referred to the nterstate Commerce commission; that you regretted this and wished 1 had left It out. In writing to you I had In view, especially, certain matters connected with currency legislation and had not thought of discus sing railroad matters with you. However, If It had occurred to me, I should have been delighted to do so, but If you remem ber when you were down here both you and I were so Interested In certain of the New York political developments I hardly. If at all, touched on governmental matters. As regards what I nave said in my message about the Interstate Commerce commission, while I say I should have been delighted to go over It with you, I also must frankly say that my mind was definitely made up. Certain revelations connected with the In vestigation of the Heef trust caused me to write the paragraph In question. I went with extreme care over the Information In possession of the Interstate Commerce commission and of the bureau of corpora tions before writing it. Paragraph Considered. 'I then went over the written paragraph again and again wltn raui Morcmrv, wno is, of all my cablnt-t, the man most familiar with railroad matters of course, and with Root, Knox, Taft and Moody, it is a mat ter I had been carefully considering for two years and I had boen gradually, though reluctantly, corning to the conclusion that It Is unwise and unsafe for me to leave the question of rebates where It is now and to fall to give the Interstate Commerce commission additional power of an effective backing in regulating these rates. -"Lot me repeat, truit I did not have thle Suesikvn in mind when I asked you to come own but that I should most gladly have talked It raver with you if it had occurred to me to do so, but, a a matter of fact, as you will renumber, when you did ouiiw down to see me, we were both so engaged In the New York political situation that we talked of little else, and finally, that the position I have taken has not beon taken lightly, but after thinking ever the matter and looking at It from different standpoints for at least two years, and after the most careful consultation with Morton, Taft, Moody, Knox and Hoot, aa to the exact phraseology I should use. "I do not send you a copy simply be cauae they have given no one a copy, not even the men above mentioned. It is Im possible if I give out copies of any portion if my meeauge to prevent the message to be known in advance, and three prees as sociation which now have the messaig are under a' heavy penalty not todlsdoee a word of it before the appointed time. "Sincerely yours." Harriman Writes Again. On December 1 he wrote the following letter on the same subject: "December 2. 1904. "My Dear Mr. Roosevelt: i thank you fxic the favor of the SC'th. It was natural for me to suppose that railroad matters would be Included In any discussion you and I might have before writing your maswige. I am of the opinion that an effective Inter state Commerce coninnsU4i could regulate rebates and revent same without ajiy ad ditional power of arvy kind, and, aa you Ray, Paul Morton is more familiar with such matters than anyone else In your cab inet, and I believe he will agree with me in this. I fear there has been a lack of co-oratlon. "During the enormous development of the last four years the railroads have found it very hard to keep pace with the require ments Imposed upon them, and the so called surplus earnings, as well as addi tional capital have been devoted to pro viding additional facilities and the better ing and enlarging of their proiertles, so as to give the increased and better ser vice required of them. This work of bet terment and enlargement must go on, and :s all-Important for the proper develop ment of all sections of the country. There Is little djut.t that during the next de cade every single track railroad In the country will have to be double-tracked and provide larger terminals and facilities and any move that will tend to cripple them financially would be detrimental to all In ternets over the whole country. "I leg that you will pardon my not sign ing this personally as I have o leave to catch my train for Arden, and have asked my secretary to sign It for me. "Tours sincerely." Sot Convinced ny llarrlmnn. I was unable to agree with Mr. Harri man's views of the matter and left my message unchanged as regards the lnter stitx commerce law. V iThrough drsft of thle portion of the nirM.ikf was completed In October, before the election). I le i jlunys discussed with freedom all n,y propocd moves In Uie irual and iawwr matters with the representatives of the big corporations or big railroads as well as with the leaders of the lalwirlng men, of the farmers' organisations, the shippers' organisations and the like, that 1 bad ss freely seen and communicated with Mr. Harriman, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Hill and other railroad men as I had seen and communi cated with Mr. Gompers, Mr. Ke-fe, Mr. Morrisson and other labor leaders. Mr. Harriman had, like most of the big railroad men. always written me very strongly protesting against my proposed course as regards the supervision and con trol over big comblnstlons and especially over the big railroads In a letter of his of August 19. I a. for Instance, he ex- firessed the fear that a panic would fol ow my proposed action. It will be seen that the above corres pondence Is entirely Incompatible with what Mr. Harriman now, as you Inform me. alleges as to my having asked him to secure money or to subscribe money for the presidential campaign. Letter from Odell. As for the Depew matter he professed throughout to be acting In the Interest of Governor Odell and through Uovernor Odell had been anxious that Mr. Depew should be nominated as ambassador to France at a time when he was supporting Governor black for senator, he had changed his mind shortly sfler the last letter to me, above quoted, from Mr. Harriman, and on December 10 he wrote me the letter I enclose which reads In part as follows: "My Dear Mr. Fresldent: A great many of your friends here In New York would be very much delighted and pleused If you could find It possible to appoint Mr. James H. Hyde as minister to France. Large businem Interests have given him splendid executive abilities and his association with so many prominent business men would be fitting recognition of the effective work done by him In the late campaign. In addition to this he has behind him, 1 am sure, the approval of Senator I'latt and Senator Depew and, so far as I can speak for the organization, I believe his appoint ment would be, without question, more satisfactory than any that could be made from New York at the present time. Personally, I should appreciate your fa vorable consideration of this suggestion almost bevond anything else you could do for me. If you bo desire I shall be glad to come to Washington and talk with you about It, but I believe there are others who are close to you and who feel Just as I do and 1 thought therefore that this lotter would be sufficient as showing the attitude of the organizations and myslf personally upon this important appoint ment. Appointment Refused. As you know, I was obliged to refuse the request of the New York financiers and of the republican organizations of the state and city, not deeming it proper to appoint Mr. Hyde to the position he sought. So much for what Mr. Harriman said about me personally. Far more Important are tho additional remarks he made to you, as you Inform me, you who asked him if he thought It was well to see Hearstlsm and the like triumphant over the republican party. Y'ou Inform me that he told you that he did not care In the least, because these people were crooks and he could buy them and whenever he wanted legislation he could buy It, and that If necessary he "could buv the Judici ary." This was doubtless said partly In boustful cynicism and partly In a mere burst of bad temper of his objection to the Interstate commerce law and to my actions as president. Hut It shows a cynic ism and deep seated corruption which make the man uttering such sentiments, and boasting, no matter how falsely, of this power to perform such crimes, at least as undesirable a citizen as Debs or Moyer, or Hsywood. It Is because we have capi talists capable of uttering such sentiments and capable of acting on them that there la strength behind sincere agitators of the Hearst type. The wealthy corruptlonlst and the demagogue who excites, In the press or on the stump, In office or out of office, class against clnss and appeal to the basest passions of the human soul, are fundamentally alike and are equally ene mies of the republic. I was horrified, as wos Root, when you told us today what Harriman had said to you. I say. If yott meet him you are entirely welcome to show him this letter, although, of course, it must not be made public unless required bv some reason of public policy, and then only after my consent has first been obtained. Sin cerely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. To Hon. J. S. Sherman, St. James Build ing, New York. Addenda to Foregoing;. The second letter to Mr. Sherman ! aa follows! THE WHITE HOl'SE, WASHINGTON. Oct. 12, 1906. My Dear Mr. Sherman: I would like to make an addenda to my let ter to you of the other -day. Both Mr. Cortelyou and Mr.. Bliss, as soon as they heard that Hyde's name- had been sug gested for ambasandor, protested to me against the appointment. Slncerelv yours, THEODORE ROOSEVEL.T. STATEMENT BY ALTON B. PARKEIl Former Candidate Refers to Ills Chnrare Abont Campaign Fands. ALBANY, N. Y., April i Alton B. Parker, democratic candidate for the pres idency In 1904, displayed the keenest in terest In the letter of E. H. Harriman, published today, especially In regard to Its relation to his own charge made In the 1904 campaign that the great corpora tions were largely financing the republican campaign. Tonight he Issued the following statement. That $160,000 was turned over by the Equitable, Mutual and New York Life In surance companies, to Mr. Cortelyou s com mittee, has never been denied, of course. It was testified to under oath before a body who could have summoned Mr. Bliss and Mr. Cortelyou to the witness stand If It had been denied. It Is safe to deny Mr. liarriman's statement because there Is not a committee before whom Mr. Bliss, Mr, Cortelyou and others can be summoned and compelled to testify. Congress 'has refused to make an Investigation of the corporate contributions of 1H04 or to pass a law pro hibiting corporate contributions In the fu ture. The money raised by Mr. Harriman and contributed by the life Insurance corn panles aggregating J350.0O0 waa but a drop In the bucket as compared with the total contributions by railroads and other great corporations. The public Importance of an Investigation at thla time therefore cannot be overestimated. One of the questions now pressing for solution Is whether federal governmental control over railroads and other great cor porations shall be extended further. It will help to solve that problem rightly, to learn that governmental power In the past has been used for political purposes used to raise money to continue an existing administration. The proof that It has been so used will make It perfectly clear to every mind that It can be used again. Possession by the public of that knowl edge and the necessary deductions there from will Inevitably lead to attempts to sur round such power as has been or may be conferred with the absolutely necessary safe-guard against abuse of It. So far, no ef fort has been made in that direction. It has not been made because the people have not appreciated the necessity of It. That they may do so, an Investigation should be had that will bring out the whole truth. It will help many to see quite clearly what is now hidden; vis.: the ultimate purpose of those who seek to strip the states of power that it may be centered at Wash ington.

This treacherous and destructive disease Is often primarily Induced through contracting a cold, or a series of colds, as a nat ural sequence following exposure when overheated, sudden climatic changes, getting wet, cooling on too suddenly. Irritating vapors, or such other causes as materially weaken the general system. The bronchial tubes brunch off from the trachea like a network and conduct the air to and rrom the lungs. They are very delicate and easily affected. The starting point is frequently a severe cold In the head, or repeated colds, producing an inflammation or diseased condition of the mucous mem brane lining the nose or throat, commonly designated aa a Catarrhal condi tion. Poisonous secretions then accumulate, which are not only absorbed, affecMng the blood and nerves, but there Is also a constant dripping of this poisonous substance from the nose, to throat, etc., hence It extends to the bronchial tubes, frequently producing Asthma, then Into the lunga, causing acute lung disease, and finally Into the lung tissue, terminating into consumption. Through neglect and inattention It gradually weakens the whole pulmonary system, making It very susceptible to disease aa it seldom ceases in its des tructive course until It has invaded the stomach, liver and kidneys, affecting the entire system. If the Inflammation extends Into the lungs, it Is very apt to render them susceptible to the pneumonic germ, tending to make the suf ferer an easy prey to the ravages. If the disease is allowed to progress until It has advanced to this stage the sufferer then realises that he is in the clutches of one of the most de structive diseases that pervades our land, spreading desolation. In Its Incip ient stages little pain or inconvenience Is experienced, and the sufforcr Is lulled Into a sense of false security, postponing treatment' day after day and week after week, in the meantime allowing the disease to advance iep by -Step until It has securely fastened its tentacles upon the system.
