Made by Atterbury
NEW TORK, July"2i-w; W. Atterbury,
vice president tit the Pennsylvapla rail
road, was the principal witness today
before the arbitration commission, sitting
at Manhattan beach to. pass Upon the de
mands of the locomotive engineers of all
eastern rail ways for Increased" pay, : His
testimony, while it referred mainly 'to the
Pennsylvania lines east of Pttteburgnr'M
which he Is the operating head, presented
the Wnoleca'8e'of the railroads so clearly
that he held the attention of the board
for the: three hours that he was on the
stand. v '.
Mr. Atterbury said the Pennsylvania's
method pf arriving at a.baals of pay for
its- employes ha been"a - constant n-
deAvor, to pay a fair rate foe affair!, day'al
work." He furnished tables showing
hours of work, miles run and ths average
pa tor engineers which last, he said, was
cequar to,:it not better, than that on any
competing railroad. " ',. .?
To grant the demands now made by the
engineers would, the witness said, add
to the operating expenses of the railroad
tba sum of t911,5S0 a year, and It pro
portionate Increases were made in the pay
of all other employes, the cost would be
tll,l78,St, .which. h' declared would wlps

,,v York State Campaian and Waa
Not Handled by the Na
tional Committee.
WASHINGTON. ' Juiy 23.-George B.
Sheldon, treasurer of the republican na
tional committee in 1908, today' told the
senate committee Investigating campaign
funds his version of the late Edward H.
Harrlman's contribution to President
Roosevelt's campaign In 1904. 1
Mr. Sheldon Bald he knew unofficially
that J". P. Morgan & Co. and Henry C.
Frlck were contributors in 1904. . The lato
Cornelius N. . Bliss 'was .treasurer then,
but Mr. Sheldon was associated with-him
In, an unofficial capacity.' He could not
remember the ampunts which the Morgan
firm or Mr. Frlck gave In 1904, but classed
(hem. among the. large contributors, to
that campaign.. '
The books which Mr Sheldon ss treas
urer, kept. In 1908, were produced for in
spection of the committee. 4
8enator Taynter introduced the subject
of Mr. 'Harrjman's cdntrlbutlorfr He said
he had heard tt: discussed and asked Mr.
Sheldon to tell what he knew about it ,
That has all been printed my letter
to Mr. Roosevelt,", responded Mr, Sheldon.
"I did not .recall that you . had written
anything.' Tell Us anyway." v -
.' i . Odell Asked for Funds.
"About two weeks before ths election."
began Mr. fiheldon. "Governor Odell, who
was state chairman came to Mr. Bliss.
then treasurer of the republican national
committee;' and stated that whereas 1 it
was, -perfectly olear that fMr,' Roosevelt
would be elected the state ticket was in
doubt -
"He meiie'd for some money. Mr, Bliss
said he had. no money, but he would see
what lie could do. He went to Mr, HarT
Vlman and Mr. Harrtman gotMr., Har-
rlman.lth Mr. Bliss got together some
$260,000 and that money was handed to
4he state, committee and never went Into
tlm national committee.'.' v. j- (--
f Did. Mr Harr'man see ny- one else
before , he contributed? My memory of
events-is a little hasy," said. Senator
Paynter, '
VI asaume that he did not," replied
Mr. Sheldon.
"Wasnt .it, a-sybject, of correspondence
between- Mr. Harriman' and -Mr. Roose-
"No, sir. Mr, Roosevelt never knew
aoytbiog about- It until long affer -he
fiecupn. ..jy..v i i, , e
t'What was there about a letter which
disappeared from Mr. Harrlman's files?"
."I know nothing about the letter." ,
."Wasn't the , public first appraised o(
this, contribution through a letter the
president had written to. Mr. Harriman?"
, cannot tell you,'', replied ,Mr. SheU
, Rooaerelt Did Not Know.
"Tou aald- - that -aO- Aoosevelt knew
nothing, of it until after ths election By
that you mean that you have no knowl
edge ef his knowing?"
"I had no knowledge."
Some of the committee were surprised
that Chairman Clapp questioned Mr.
Sheldon ' about the 1904 campaign instead
of the 1908 light . k
.''DOl yoa. know . of 'any contribution In

Sheldon. He gave similar answers to
questions .about, the "tobaoco trust" the
'.'harvester .trust'.' and 'sugar trust," Stan
dard Oil, the American Protective tariff
league and various manufacturers as
WaK-TMr.-Sheldon 'referred' to his' book
and said . the . contributions to the na
