Thorpe Is high, wids and Impetuous. -The other day he was stand ing on ths sands at Long Beach, When he heard faint cries beyond the outer line of rollers. Thorpe could Just . see a man out there. Apparently he needed he!p, "Come," said Mr. Thorp to tho near est lifegusrd, and they went They amashed through the breakers and did a fancy crawl stroke to the side of ths endangsred man. "Put your hand on my shoulder," said Thorpe. "Bawgle, woggle ooog," said ths man, or something Ilk that. Thorp got him by one arm and the life guard got blm by the other. Now and then they caught him by the hair or an eyebrow or something whn their holds slipped. But they got him safe to the sands. There the rescued man proved to be a big. 1 husky 'individual, who had evidently been a man of great strength before his figure slipped. Whatdj want to do that forf asked the rescued man, angrily. Then he turned and, though weak and Shaky, dashed back Into the sea. ' "He's a nut," said Mr. Thorpe ta the lifeguard. And so they went for htm again and dragged him to land, not quite sv' gently this time. Thorpe had to thump him In the wind to still his pro tests, and when the rescued man got his breath back he tried to hit his heroic rescuer with a rock. "What's the matter with you, any how T" Thorp asked, Indignantly. "Nothing, you mutt," was the surprls. Ing reply of the rescued man. "I'm all right. The guy who Is in trouble is still out thsr." Bur enough. Thorps and the life guard saw, beyond the outer line of breakers, a man making his slow way to shore. He wss weak snd frightened, but he was getting in all right. Thorpe apologised to the man ha had pulled out of the nice, cool wet and went away. -Cincinnati Times-Star, Deputies laid Two Country Resorts After hsvlng been warned by Sheriff McShane to close up their places, William Paulsen, proprietor of the Concordia park on the Center road, and C.

My letter books show no record of any audi Ittter as has been published. The signature of that letter Is very unlike mine." Mr. Arohhoid said th payment to Sen ator Penrose was probably In currency. "You were the man in the Standard Oil company who had charge of these polit ical matters?" suggested Senator Clapp. "Only In Pennsylvania and Ohio, where I had known the relations of our busi ness." Subsequently to these contributions Mr. Archbold said he talked with Mr. Bliss, not later than October 10,' about further contributions. He thought Mr. Rogers might havs been at one of them. He re membered that no one else waa present - What -was the result of these con ferences?" asked Senator Clapp. "W decided not to make any further contribution." Mr. Archbold said that in the 1KM cam paign he had not been connected with the United State Steel corporation, the American Tobacco company, the Amer ican Sugar Refining company or any rail road combination, that he had not dis cussed with any representative of the cor poration named the question of campaign contributions. "Did you have any conferences with snyone except Mr. Bliss, whom you knew and . understood to represent Colonel Roosevelt?" ssksd Senator Clapp. Promised to Tell Rooaavelt. "Nj. I talked very frankly with Mr. Bliss. I told him ws wanted to make this contribution, but not without the knowl edge of the powers that he. We wanted It understood and appreciated by Colonel Roosevelt. Ar. Bliss smilingly assured me that that would be the case." Asked by Senator Clapp if be made any personal contributions the witness replied that if he had It was a small amount and he had no recollection of it. He said ha had no knowledge of either John D, Rock efeiler's or William Rockefeller's making individual contributions to the campaign. "Do you have any - knowledge or did you hear such reports as you believed of Individuals contributing to the republican campaign fund in 1904?" persisted Sen ator Clapp. I have no absolute personal knowl edge," said Mr. Archbold, '"such as would justify ms In testifying. Of course I was awar of th talk about th Harriman contribution, but I had no personal knowl edge of it." Mr. Archbold could not remember the date at which he first heard cf it. Were you solicited by Mr. Harriman?"' I do not recall that I was, hut I havs seen my name mentioned as being among the contributors. If money was given by Mr. Rogers or my other buslnesg associ ates it wss without my knowledge." Th witness said he had understood the Harriman contribution- was $240,000 or txo.ooo. That ended Senator Clapp's examination and the witness was turned over to Sen ator Pomerene. The Ohio senator began at or.es an ef fort to learn more details of the 1125,000 contribution of 1904. Mr. Archbold said that he. had talked with Mr. Bliss about It a weVk, prior to when he gav th money. Who was present at that interview?" asked Senator Pomerene. Mr. Archbold' recollection was that Mr. Rogers, Mr. Bliss and himself wero there. What was said about Mr. Roosevelt?" asked Senator Pomerene. Bspected RooaeTelt to Be Fair, 'Mr. Bliss told us of his attitude to ward business Interests. Mr. Bliss said he thousht Mr. Roosevelt would be a fair and conservative man when It came to 'th test, and urged that th policies of the republican party were the safest for th business world." It was because of his conservative views and your belief of th attitude of th republican party toward the business world thst Induced you to contribute?" "The party question was first," replied Mr. Archbold. "Mr. Bliss thought Mr. Roosevelt would fairly carry out party politics." "We decided that our Interests lay on the republican side" said Mr. Archbold, "and It wss decided that we should make this contribution. "Nothing was decided about how It was to be distributed. Later, however," Mr. Archbold said, "it waa decided after a conference with Senator Penrose that the Standard Oil men should make th additional ,128,000 contribution foe th campaign of Pennsylvania." "Was this Standard Oil money or funds of th officials personally?" asked Sen ator Pomerene. , . "It was company money" said Mr. Archbold. Senator Pomerene wanted to know th details of th conversation between Mr. Archbold and Mr. Bliss with reference to Colonel Roosevelt's knowledge of th contributions. "I said" answered Mr. Archbold, "Mr. Bliss, we are Inclined to make this con tribution to you, hut we want it to be come known to the powers thst be to th president" . "You named the president?" broke in Senator Pomerene? - "I named President Roosevelt, yes." said Mr. Archbold, "I said to Mr. Bliss that we did not want to make the contri bution unless It would be. gratefully re ceived." Depended I son Bllaa' Word. "Did you have any misgivings as to this, st the time?" "Thet hsd been so.a talk about ob jections to contributions from certain sources," said Mr. Archbold. "Had you any knowledge that this con tribution hsd been made known to Presi dent Roosevelt?" "Only tbe assurance of Mr. BUss through my conference with him." "Just what did he any? urged Senator Pomerene. "He said: Ton need have no misgiv ings in that matter, I will represent you and I will so that It I properly known.' " Senator Pomeren wanted to know why the contribution hsd been' msde in cur rency. Mr. Archbold' smiled as he replied: "I don't suppose there waa any desire on the part of either of us for publicity." Senator Pomerene then took up the islt of Mr. Bliss to "IS Broadway" (the Standard's . New York office), wku further contributions, according to Mr. Archbold, were asked from the company. "At a later time Mr. Bliss came to my office," said Mr. Archbold. "He said: 'I have to come to you again on tb? money question.' He pointed out the sit uation In the campaign and the need for further funds. I said I thought we had done pretty liberally. Finally, I told him that I could not decide the matter, but that I would lay It before the board." "Was there anything in that conversa tion to indicate that Colonel Roosevelt knew of your contribution?" asked the senator. "He gave me to understand that our contribution had been accepted and that further contributions would be accepta ble to Colonel Roosevelt." Second Contribution Refnaed. Mr. Archbold said thst on the latter oc casion Mr. Bliss mentioned 1100,000 as a further amount. Mr. Archbold told the board that he had Impressed upon Mr. Bliss the desire of the Standard Oil of ficials that the contributions should not bo received unless they were acceptable to Mr. Roosevelt The board decided to "stand upon what it had done," and make no further contributions. "Did you regard Mr. Bliss as a man of veracity and Integrity, and when he said he had told Colonel Roosevelt of this matter had you any reason to doubt him?" asked Senator Penrose. "None in the world," answered Mr. Archbold. "When you told Mr. BUss that the board would do no more, what did he say?" "He said that It was a mistake," an swered Archbold. "He said: 'I speak to you personally, I think you had better make this contribution. If you don't, somebody els will and I think you will be making a mistake.' He put it on per sonal grounds, and mentioned his friend ship for me, toward the end." "Did Mr. Bliss ever tell you that Colonel Roosevelt was grateful to you for not making this further contribution?" asked Senator Pomerene. "No," returned Mr. Archbold. The witness said he never had heard of any proposition to return any cam paign funds until within the last two or three days. Senator Pemerene asked if Mr. Archbold ever had talked to Mr. Bliss later about that. ; , "I went to Mr. Bliss after President Roosevelt and some of his bureau men began some unjust attacks upon us," said Mr. Archbold. "Mr. Bliss threw up his hands and said that he saw the attacks were unjust, and said that he sympathised with us, but that he could do nothing." Mr. Archbold said the attacks he re ferred to were made upon the Standard Oil company by James Garfield and Her bert Knox Smith. Both had been com missioners of corporations. "President Roosevelt unfailingly ap proved these attacks, without investi gation and without the slightest knowl edge of the facts," he added. Sajr Companr Waa Persecuted. The witness declared there waa "mors than a coincidence" in th appearance of adverse governmental reports, "every time we were concerned in litigation in the courts or every time legislation ap peared her In Washington in which we were interested." 'These reports of Garfield and Smith were the work of mere puppets, who Jumped when Roosevelt pulled the strings," declared Mr. Archbold. Senator Pomerene asked Mr. Archbold if he thought the refusal of ths Standard Oil company to make a second contri bution had anything to do with the so called unlust investigations. "We," Mr. Archbold began, and then stopped to" bit his Hp,' "t don't know." "Did ybu ever call the attention of Mr. Bliss to what he had ' told 'you " before election In regard to Mr, Roosevelt's at titude?" asked Mr, Pomerene.' "I presume I had some talk with' Mr. Bliss about Mr. Roosevelt," replied Archbold, "but Mr. Bliss was not the. kind of man to say 'I told you so.' Mr. Bliss said that it was with humiliation that he must say that he had no influ ence with Mr. Roosevelt. . Senator Pomerene insisted on knowing what passed between Mr. Archbold and Mr. Bliss at the conversation when the Roosevelt Investigations were discussed, r "I suppose Mr. Bliss probably expressed his opinion that it would not havs been thus If we had done' as he had wished and I have no doubt watever on that question myself," answered Mr. Arch bold. "Do you know whether Mr. Bliss re ported to Mr. Roosevelt that you had declined to make a further contribution." asked Senator Pomerene. "I assume, of course, that (t was so reported. I do not know in what shape the report was made, but it undoubtedly was made," said Archbold. More Tcatlnaony by Penroae. Senator Penrose was a witness this afternoon. He introduced into the record the statement regarding th 135,000 contribution to the Pennsylvania campaign fund of 1904 by John D. Arch bold and the contribution of $100,000 to the national campaign fund, which ha made Wednesday In the senate. He said he7 had practically nothing' to add to that, but would answer any questions. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 - Senator Penrose said that he . had been given to understand at the time that Colonel Roosevelt knew of th contribu tion of $100,000 to the national, campaign fund by the Standard Oil company and of the demand for further contributions. "I also knew of the urgency of the re quest of Mr. Bliss to Mr. Archbold for th additional $150,000," said Penrose, "and his saying that th refusal to give It prob ably would result in other measures, th theory being that It threw the 'powers that he," as Mr. Archbold calls them Into other financial hands and that the Stand ard Oil company would be the 'goat,' as, the popular saying is." Senstor Pomerene took up th examina tion of Senator Penrose and inquired as to various Interviews with Archbold and :-A NATIONAL INSTITUTION' Brownina King T . a T-f &Co ATi!Tvr.

"It was generally understood that he stood for a protective tariff as outlined i the republican platform since 1896," answered Penrose. "Was anything said about his attitude toward so-called 'big business?' " asked Pomerene. "There was general assurance on the part of Mr. Bliss that the powers of the president's office would not be used In a harsh way for demagogic effect" Bllaa Told Archbold. Senator Penrose said that In an inter view following the first Standard Oil con tribution, at which he was present, Mr. BUss told the Standard Oil officials that Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Cortelyou "had been advised of the first contribution and were extremely solicitous about their eom plying with his request for a second contribution. Senator Penrose declared he told Mr. Archbold that he was making a mistake in not making th second contribution, and that Mr. Archbold agreed with him. The senstor explained that he believed If Mr. Bliss, who wa In close touch with Mr. Cortelyou "and Mr. Roosevelt, said the national committee needed money, that it really was in need. Senator Penrose said he never had dis cussed Standard Oil contributions with Mr rvirtalvmi. hut ha believed the sub ject of contributions had come up cAusally In conversations he had bad with Pres ident Roosevelt, both before and after the election of 1S04. , "While no direct reference was made to the contributions In 1904, I believed that the president was cognizant of the habit of the Standard Oil company to contribute to every campaign since 1894," said Penrose. He was positive that Mr. Roosevelt never had suggested to him that the Standard Oil money be returned. He again referred to the letter which Presi dent Roosevelt wrote him, thanking him for his "extraorxanarjr efforts." Senator Pomerene obtained a promise that the letter would be inserted In the record. Senator Penrose said he had been one of th eoriginal Rsvelt supporters and hsd called the state convention In Penn sylvania, which was the first state con vention to declare for President Roose velt' renomination. "We endorsed Roosevelt," said Penrose, "and worried Senator Hanna In Ohio, wlm waa opposed to Roosevelt, to sur render jenaior r wnivrr kuu a.ujw iqq j Ohio convention to endorse Roosevelt "1 may say that I probably was as earnest a supporter of Colonel Roosevelt all through his seven years' term as any except, perhaps. Senators Piatt, Quay and Foraker." Senator Penrose's testimony was brief and corroborative of- Mr. Archbold' s at the morrring session. At Its conclusion the committee adjourned and it was an nounced that George W. Perkins of New York would appear next Tuesday. Chairman Clapp was in commutation with New York City over the long dis tance telephone today and It was said he had been discussing with some one there the probability of Colonel Roosevelt's ap pearing. The nature, of his conversation could not be learned. CONTRADICTION BY COLOXEL, Sara Penroae Telia Deliberate nnd Wllfnl Falsehood. NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Colonel Roose velt declared that "Senator- Penrose's statement that George W. Perkins under wrote my primary expenses for $3,000,000 or any sum even remotely resembling it Is a deliberate and wilful falsehood, which he knows to be such when he makes it. "Mr. Penrose," he added, "would do well not to attribute to others the In finite baseness which actuates himself." Colonel Roosevelt added: "Until Sen ator Penrose spoke the other day I had never heard of Mr. Archbold's name In connection with making any contributions t the republican national campaign fund."
