WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-John D.
Archbold today told the senate com
mittee investigating camjalgn funds that
the Standard Oil company's $125,000 con
tribution to the republican war chest o:
1904 wag made upon assurances from
Cornelius N. Bliss that "the contribution
was acceptable to Colonel Roosevelt and
that further contributions would be ac
ceptable." He said that later Mr. Bliss asked hint
for another contribution about $150,000
and , upon the Standard board's refusal
to make it had said, to the witness: "I
think you had better make this con
tribution," that "outrageous attacks" by
the srovernment had dated from the
b ' t ifusal; that when, in a rebating
Against the Standard at Buffalo,
..United States attorney there had
notified Washington officials there was
no merit in the case to Justify indict
ments, word came back from Washing
ton: 'Dn the merit; get the indictment."
In answer . to a question by Senator
Penrose, Mr.' Archbold declared there
had never been made to him a sugges
tion that the J100.000 contribution to the
nations! fund be returned by the repub
lican campaign committee.
Contribution to Penrose.
Mr. Archbold explained that the 125,000
.given to Mr. Penrose, "was a political
contribution and not a payment for aer
..vlces in public or private life."
. Mr. Archbald, referring to a magazine
article, said a letter reported to be his, in
rose, seemed to be a forgery. '
. - tKTKn Vf r AlrhhnM f!nlMhl hill tAHtl-
Tnony several members of the. committee
conferred over the. advisability, of invit
ing Colonel Roosevelt , to testify. Mr,
Penrose wants the commute to subpoena
the colonel. v
-MHphbold' testimony, tiowever, was
regarded of Such, Importance that It was
determined to call William Rockefeller,
if his health will permit, and to 'recall
George B. Cortelyon, republican national
chairman in 1904, who appeared before the
I committee July 11 and could not recall
that any contributions from corporations
were used In the Roosevelt campaign.
Mr. Cortelyon also testified at that time
that he never heard of a contribution by
1 Mr. Archbold or any one "on his behalf."
When Mr. Archbold was excused it was
announced that Senator Penrose would
take the stand late today.
Star Witness . Appeara Early.
The star witness appeared half an hour
before the appointed time and chatted
with Senator Clapp and Senator Jones.
Senator Penrose appeared ten minutes
after Mr. Archbold arrived. Messengers
were hurried out to get Senators Oliver
and Pomerene, who were to sit as mem
bers of the committee.
Finally the committee assembled, Mr.
Archbold was sworn in and Senator Clapp
asked him what contribution the Stan
dard Oil company Ha J made to the cam
paign of 1904. - '
"We made two contributions to the re
publican campaign in 1904, one to Cor
nelius N. Bliss of 1100,000, and the other
to Senator Penrose, of $25,000," replied
Mr. Archbold.
"Do you remember When the contribu
tion of $100,009 to the republican campaign
fund was made?" asked Senator Clapp.
"I have not the date in mind," said
Mr. Archbold, "nor have I had time to
thoroughly search with reference to It
My best recollection is that it was some
time in September, 1904. I think about
the middle of September."
"By check T"
FarniMit In Cnrrency.
"My recollection is that it was given
to Mr. Bliss in currency."
"Wno was present!"
"To the best of my recollections I was
alone and at my office."
"Have you any written data with which
to fix the date?"
"Mr. Bliss gave . me a receipt, but In
such invest'satlon as I have been able
to make before I hastened here. I have
not been able tq find it. I hope to do so."
"Had you had any previous talk with
Mr. Bliss as to this matter before you
made the contribution?" asked Senator
Clapp. ;
"Yes. Some tlma before, either at my
office or that of H. H. Rogers." replied
Mr. Archbald. "We had a talk about
politics and contributions and I said the

NEW TORK, Aug. 23.-The following
editorial by Mr. Roosevelt, entitled "Tho
Progressives and the Colored Man," Is
from the current issue of The Outlook:
"In national republican conventions
there have usually been a number of negro
delegates from the south largely men
of bad character, almost openly venal
and practically none from the north. In
the democratic conventions there have
been none from the south, and rarely oris
from anywhere. In the progressive na
tional convention there were numerous
colored delegates from the north from
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jer
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
-and also from the belt of states in the
south that used to be called "border"
states Delaware, Maryland, West Vir
ginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas.
From all these states taken together, in
all cf which there already existed a real
and strong progressive party, there were
several times as many colored delegates
as had ever been in a republican national
convention. All these delegates were men
of character and standing, who stood on
a level with their white fellow delegates
in point of ability and integrity. From
the south Atlantic and gulf states there
were no colored delegates, and from .two
of them no white delegates. In these
states the progressive party had to be
'formed out of absolutely new material.
"The progressive convention, therefore,
on this point differed from the demo
cratic conventions In the fact that there,
were many colored delegates Instead of
none. It differed from the republican
conventions in the fact that these col
ored delegates came from the stateB
where there were strong white progres
sive parties, whereas In the republican
conventions ye colored men came from
states where there was no white re
publican party. The progressives did jus
tice to their own colored neighbors who
dwelt among them, whereas the repub
licans had always exercised a cheap
virtue by admitting colored delegates
from the states where they themselves
did not dwell. Incidentally, I wish to
emphasize the fact that absolutely no
good of any kind resulted to the colored
man from being allowed to appear as a
farcical "delegate" from states wherein
he possessed no shred of real political
power.
"I instance the progressive national con
vention, in the first place because in this
regard it is an instance ot performance
instead of mere1 promise; and in the next
place because it shows just the attitude
we progressives are taking towards the
difficult question of actually getting fair
play between the two races, instead of
merely indulging In fine; talk- about it.
Unlike the democratic party,, the pro
gressive party, stands for justice and fair
dealing towards the colored man; and,
unlike the republican" party, it proposes
to secure him Justice and fair dealing
In the only practicable way, by encour
aging in every part of the country good
feeling, between the white men and the
colored men who' are neighbors, and by
appealing in overy part of the country to
the white men who are the colored man's
neighbors, and who alone can help him,
to give him such help, not because they
are forced by outsiders to do so, but as a
matter of honorable obligation freely
recognized on their own part. The plans
already tried by the republican and demo
cratic parties have " failed utterly and
hopelessly. No other plan than the one
we propose offers the remotest chance of
benefiting either the whlta man or the
colored man of the .south. Therefore it is
merely the part of wisdom to try our
plan, which is to try for the gradual re
enfranchisement of the worthy colored
man of the south by frankly giving the
leadership of our movement to the wisest
and justest white men of the south."

BOLD ROBBERY MAIL TRAIN
Unidentified Man Takes Registered
Paokages from Denver Express.
IS SHOT WITH HIS. OWN GUN
Bandit Wh Boarded Train at Ken
ans City Left Mall Car at Uw.
. renea and Then Hid in a
Sleeping Car.
TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 22.-The daring
robber who was shot and seriously
wounded by his own revolver while resist
ing capture after he had robbed tho 'mall
car on Union Pacific train No. 10, which
,lft Kansas Qlty for Denver at o'clock
this morning was still alive at a hospital
here this morning, but the ' police had
not yet learned his Identity. Hospital at
tendants salrf he was able' to talk and the
railroad officials hoped soon to Induce
htm fj divulge his name and other Infor
mation regarding himself.
A bolder, stranger robbery on a train
never has been recorded In the history of
the Union Pacific railroad,, which has
been thtf ylctlrrt of many holdups, local
officials of the company said .today.
The train known as the "Denver Ex
press," a long train, carrying heavy
mall;, was Just leaving Kansas City when
an active man, slender and about 40
years of age, ran across the. depot plat
form and leaped into the mall car through
the open door. J.; Withers, the clerk in
charge of the car, turned and faced the
man, who leveled a revolver at him.
Withers was commanded to bind and gag
his five associates and not to raise a
hand it he' cared for his life.
Takes All Registered Packages.
Withers obeyed the command and bound
and gagged all his fellow workers E.. t,
Smalley, Joseph Gaines, C. If. Stewart,
F. R. Oldham and Robert Hartxfall. The
robber then went through all the regis
tered pouches, stuffing the rich packagej
into his pockets, After securing the loo
he commanded Withers to untie his com
rades, being careful to keep all the clerks
covered With his revolver. At Bonner
Springs, where the train made a brief
stop, the robber commanded the men to
work the mail so as not to attract atten
tion of persons at the station.
When Lawrence was reached the robber
dropped from the car and ran toward tho
rear of the train. Withers quickly gave
the alarm (o the train crew.' A negro
porter said he saw a man with bulging
pockets In a sleeping car.
. Conductor M. E. Smith hastily sum
moned two Lawrence poMcemen, and all
three followed the porter Into , the car;
Hides In Sleeping Car. .
The robber , had hid himself in an up
per berth. Smith boldly pulled the cur
tain, aside and made a grab for him. The
robber raised his revolver and pulled
the trigger Just as Smith taught his hand
and turned it back. The bullet entered
the man's che.-t close to the heart, lie
dropped his weapon with a curse and
moaned with pain. In another minute
the conductor and the two policemen had
dragged him Into the aisle and pinioned
his. arms. The robber, weak from the
less of blood, made no resistance. A
physician on the train gave him tem
porary treatment and the train proceeded
to TopeUa. Here the robber, unable to
talk, was placed in a hospital.
The only clew to the man's Identity
was a letter In his pocket addressed to
"Mrs. Wills Lonsberry, Medford, R. F.
D No, 1"
The robber ' this afternoon gave his
name as Willis Lonsberry, formerly of
Medford, Ore., and said that he Is an
ex-railway mall clerk and has a wife and
two children In Medford.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Aug. 23.-(Speclal.)-As waa
predicted at the time of the split in the
republican convention and the organlia-.
Uon of a republican state committee from
the Taft republicans who did not pro
pose to be sat down upon by men who
would not recognize the nominees of tho
national convention, tine Taft or regular
republican committee Is the only state
committee that will be recognized by the
national republican committee. j
Last nlB'nt Judge E. P. Holmes, who
waa one of the leaders In the fight for
the national ticket, and who has been se
lected as one of the executive committee
of the new commltte-s, received a tele
gram from Chairman Hilles Of the na
tional rpublloan committee ' stating that
the Taft organisation would be the only
organization which would be recognized
as the republican state committee in Ne
braska. The telegram reads In part aa follows:
"Natloral committee recognises as regu
lar republican organisation In Nebraska
that which is supporting President Taft
and Vice President Sherman for re-election.
'
"Those who would masquerade as re
publican will not have the co-operation
of the national committee. ' The attempt
to confuse the issue by men who are out
of the party and yet seek to operato
from within Is being exposed and de
feated," (Signed.)
' CHARLES D. HILLES."
This will menn that the Eppersonian
men will not receive any encouragement
from the national committee, but will
have-to look to the Perklns-Munsey-Mc-Cormlck
political machine for what as
sistance they may have. It also means
that as soon as the regular republican
organization Is completed next Monday
night at its meeting at the Lincoln hotel
in this city, a campaign wJU be made in
the interests of Mr. Taft.
' Holmes t naltle to Serve.
'While Judge-Holmes has been spoken
of as chairman of the regular republi
can committee, he says, this morning
that he cannot take the position on ac
count of his private legal business, which
takes all of his time. He thinks, how
ever, that an Omaha man will bo
selected and the headquarters continued "
In that city.
The Judge Is firm , in the belief that
there can be but one Republican state
committee In Nebraska and that com
mittee the one that suppors the Republi
can naional ticket and Its platform.. If

Why one man succeeds
and another fails is
often a mystery.
Many times It is not due to
the superior capacity of the one
over the other; the reason is ia
the difference in the manner
in which the two go about the
end. One chooses the right sys
tem, and the other the wrong.
In advertising many
men iret started wrong.
Some start right and win.
Bee want ads start every
man right, and that is the
reason the man who uses
these little classified busi
ness getters is the one who
succeeds. Try, this plan.
