Inquiry Mar Go Over.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 24.-The proposal
to summon Colonel Roosevelt to testify
before the special senate committee on
campaign contributions was. not consid
ered by the committee at Its executive
meeting today. The committee; however,
It was given out, will look particularly
Into the Penrose-Arehbold-Roosevelt con
troversy over Standard Oil, pontributlons
to the 1904 republican, war chest. '
. Plans to transfer the hearings from
Washington to New York were abandoned
and dates of future hearings were left
for decision until the senate acts on the
Penrose resolution, directing investigation
of .Standard Oil contributions and the
Reed amendment directing investigation
of 1911. The senate was expected . to act
today on these features. A majority of
the committee is said to be In favor of
resuming the Inquiry late In September
Instead of proceeding at once.
When Senator Penrose's resolution was
brought up la the senate Senator. Poln-
dexter proposed that the subjdeis to';be'
Investigated he extended jto .Include all
' correspondence" between John 0. Arch
bold "find mepibers of the senate and ot
the house of representatives, since 1900.
Tliis amendment, was. adopted. " :
, Senator Penrose proposed that the name
of George W, Perkins! be' Included with
that of Archbold. and, that the term "ex
presidents of the United. States'' be In
cluded with members' of congress.
"It is suggested, however," he- re
marked, "that as there is only one living
ex-president and we are not Interested In
dead ex-presidents, I wish to substitute
'Mr.; Theodore Roosevelt or colonel, I
believe his title is.' " .
This amendment was incorporated.
Senator Hey burn began a criticism of
the senate's attitude toward this ques
tion. He objected to the "vituperative at
tacks" on the republican party ' and Its
members in the senate debate day before
yesterday and declared that the senat was
not concerned in- the matter of what any
one contributed for the "legitimate ex
penses of. a campaign." He likewise ob
jected to the attacks on Colonel Roose
velt -.-
."I cannot see," he said, 'how It can
be said that because he Is now again a
candidate for the presidency it Is proper
to bring him before this tribunal In an ef
fort to assassinate his character."
Senator Heyburn said that the proper
time for such an attack was at the time
When Roosevelt was president when he
was subject to charges of "malfeasance
and disreputable conduct in office."
Senator Heyburn's speech began to as
sume the proportions of a - filibuster
against the resolution when Senator Suth
erland suggested that as the senate was
merely awaiting a single appropriation
for final adjournment recess be taken un-

DOOR SHUT TOBOLL MOOSES
Harrington's Opinion is That Third
. Party Cannot Get on Ticket
MUST PREPARE BEFORE PRIMARY
"No Cltlsen Will Try to Uphold Bach
Law Except Political Trick
sters," Asserts "Mike" la
Wrathful Voice.
That under the present election laws of
Nebraska no way exists to put the new
party ticket on the ornc-M ballot In
November is the deliberate conclusion of
"Mike" Harrington. If Harrington, how.
ever, Is correct the proposed convention
of bull moosers called to nominate elec
toral, state and congressional tickets will
all go for naught, because their nominees
could have their names filed only by
petition.
The Harrington opinion, over his sig
nature, . and . under the caption "The
Presidential Tangle in Nebraska," is as
follows:
"The purpose of election laws ought to
be to permit the voter to express In a
simple and clear way tils judgment as to
candidates and Issues." Election laws
should not attempt to give any preference
or Advantage to any party, or any candi
date over another.. The condition of our
election laws in Nebraska Is peculiarly
unfortunate As It stands today you can
not. In my judgment organise a new
party and get Its .party name upon' the
election ballot unless such new party
has been organised before the primary
election. Ordinarily It Is only after nomi
nations have been made that the people
can tejl whether a new party Is needed
and yet at the very time when they ought
to be free to exercise the privilege of
organizing a new party and having the
party name placed on the election ballot
they are denied this right by our present
election laws. No citizen will try to up
hold . such a law except a political
trickster. ... ". . .. . .
8parate Ticket Honest Way.
"ITielleve. It to be the general desire of
Nebraska progressives to nominate ana
vote for a progressive ticket from top to
bottom, but they are handicapped by our
election laws. A dispute arises as to
whether the electors on the republioan
ticket in case they are elected should
vote for Mr. Roosevelt or for Mr. Taft.
This causes ill-feeling between neighbors
wlilch should be wholly unnecessary in
order to let. each express his views. Mr.
Taft claims to be at least the technical
nominee of the republican party. Mr.
Roosevelt's friends claim that & ' vast
majority, of Nebraska republicans -and
indeed of the jrepubllcana of the United
States were fori his nomination and that It
the matter could have been submftted to
a direct primary the nation over Roose
velt would have been nominated.. ' But at
thjs time Mr. Roosevelt has parted com
pany with the old-time republican or-Sanitation-and
Is the nominee of a, new
partyiiisendswant tobuiid up this
new party and they want to vote for. men
who will stand out in the open as repre
sentatives of the party whose' candidate
Mr. Rooseyejt is. But in Nebraska,
those of us who arefor Roosevelt have
no way jf doing so except by voting the
republican ticket. The -real name under
Which we vote counts for little. 'But It Is
not' fair to either Mr." Roosevelt or Mr.
Taft to have eight electors, of whom six
are for Roosevelt and two for Taft.". Mr.
Roosevelt is entitled to have eight can
didates for electors who are for, him and
Mr. Taft is entitled to the same thing.
Wants Special Legislative Session?
"The -only way that I can see to rem
edy this injustice is by having the gov
ernor call a special session or the legis
lature,' A measure ought to ' be easily
agreed on between friends of the differ
ent presidential candidates which will
permit the organization of a' new party
after the primaries and before election,
and in this way we could settle these en
tire differences. The expense Of a special
session of the legislature .for such a pur
pose would not be., large and . would . be
money unusually well expended. It is
true that -the legislature is democratic,
but the request for a law which will
permit the supporters of both Mr. Roose
velt and Mr. Taft to cast a faW vote on
election day. Is. so reasonable that tha
legislature could hardly refuse to pass It,
and If. the democratic legislature should
refuse to pass such a measure the friends
of both Taft and Roosevelt would be per
fectly justified in joining together to de
feat the entire democratic ticket And
the matter does not stop with presiden
tial electors. It applies equally to mem
bers of. congress. There la a bare possi
bility that the election of president may
be -thrown Into the house of representa
tives.; Even If Mr. Taft should not carry
a single state, still he might have . some
electors. As tt stands he might have two
In Nebraska. He might have eight In
Pennsylvania to 'Roosevelt's" thirty, and
it- may be so in other states. - Mr. . Taft
might have enough votes to prevent an
election In the electoral college. It would
then go In tne first Instance to the house
of ' representatives, where each state has
one vote. It would take the vote of
twenty-five states to elect a president.
At this time the democrats have twenty
four of these states, the '. republicans
twenty-nine, and in Maine, Rhode Island
and Nebraska the delegations are equally
divided. If the house should fall to elect
before March 4 fine of two conditions may
arise. If no candidate for vice president
had a majority in the electoral college
then the senate elects a vice president
If no candidate for president had a ma
jority it Is quite plain that no candidate
for vice president would have a major
ity, and that the matter of, electing a
vice president would go to the senate.
It talces a majority vote in the senate 'to
elect a ' vice president If the . house
fsuied to elect a president and the senate
elected a vice president then after March
4 the vice president elected by the senate
would be president of "the United Stat!S.
But the way .' the ' senate is divided It
could hardly -be possible that It would
elect a vice president We might, there
fore, be left after March 4 without either
a president or .vice president and the
matter would have to be settled by the
succeeding congress. It is quite likely
that Mr. Roosevelt's friends by making
an unusual effort could nominate six can
didates for congress by petition without
any party name and get the Roosevelt
voters to'vote for these candidates. But
we should not be put to this trouble and
expense, and if the governor and legis
lature will be fair we will not bo."

WASHINGTON. Aug. M.-Chalrman
Stanley1 of the house "Steel ' trust" In-,
vestigating committee, fired a farewell
broadside at Former President Roosevelt
today shortly before congress adjourned
In reply, o the rcolonei's .characterisation
of the work-of the committee, as ."foolish
and futile." Mr. 9tanley; charged, that the
former president desired - no legislation
that would curb capital or -monopoly, and
that he had failed to take, any position
with reference to the dissolution or. the
control of " the Harvester trust : -or; the
United States Steel, corporation, y Mr.
Stanley declared that "the late revelations
of the relation between Colonel Roose
velt and the Standard Oil company should
surprise nobody." He Insisted that for
years Mr. Roosevelt had kept In touch
with wealthy men and "approachable poll
tlolans of the same stripe. - - - .
'The worst part of it," he continued,
"i not that Mr. Roosevelt shared the
plunder of this lawless monopoly. The
money was collected and spent; that is
ancient, history. TM astounding and
menacing phase of the situation Is not
that he once had access to the purse of
the Standard OH company, but 4hat be is
now attempting with an audacity charac
teristic of Roosevelt alone to carry out
to the letter the "pet policies of H. H.
Rogers and John D. Archbold. -Roosevelt
Is In a war a thorough 'progressive.'! He
is far in advance of his former party as
sociates in his energy and . audacity In
this propaganda for the licensing of or
ganised lawlessness." " ' ' '., '
Launching Into a bitter attack, on the
bureau of corporations, Mr. Stanley de
clared an investigation had proved it to
be the creation of the interests.
'The whole Infamous thing was- Incu
bated In Wall street," he said. .
Concluding, Mr. Stanley said the great
danger to the country In the ascendancy
of Colonel RooFevelt "was not that he
was the recipient of dirty money so much
as he was. the proponent of dangerous
policies." , . . -. , .

RESPECTS PAH) BY " HIS MEN
Only three more performances of Ak-Sar-Ben's
dasillng, stupendous circus re
main on tne schedule for 1812, and un
doubtedly not another of Its kind will be
seen after the third and last one, unless,
by some chance, the knight decide to re
turn to It.
' 66, with only three more, Gus Rense,
Dad Weaver and -the board of governors
have resolved to make them the most
gorgeous and glorious shows the knights
have evar tged the grandest finale for
the greatest season the organisation has
had.
The first of these three performances la
for the bankers of Nebraska. They will
be here more than 800 of them to attend
the annual convention of the Nebraska
State Bankers' association, and will start
off their first night In Omaha with the
highest kind ot hilarity at the den.
Billy Hughes, secretary of the associa
tion; Dad Weaver, secretary of the
knights, and Charles Black of the- board
of governors, 'are working together on ar
rangements for the oratorical contest
which is served as dessert In the big feast
of fun features.
Bankers to Talk.
: They say ' they can bank on several
bankers In this talk marathon for some
high speed In story telling, and have thus
far been successful in keeping from their
list every banker psosessing more than
one four-minute record. These precau
tions are customarily made to keep the
spectators smelling the palate teasing ef
fluvium from the dining room, and from
turning upon each other In cannibalistic
hunger and thus removing some 2,000 from
the knight' present record roll.
Looking still further ahead, one sees
looming up the big night when all Lincoln
comes down to Omaha. That Is next
Monday night It will be designated Lin
coln night. All the political patriarchs
from the state capital, all the merchants
and all the professional men, have been
Invited, and in all probability some 66
per cent will be here.
The final performance will be devoted
exclusively to Omahans. It will be
Omaha's own nlisht, a time' Which prece
dent has decreed shall be the most rip-
roaring, sip-soaring, htgh-tlming, bell-
chiming good time of the whole season

. Fully 2,600 friends, hundreds of whom
were policemen, firemen and city, offi
cials, filled every seat in the large church
while the aisles, choir loft and entrances
were massed with those who were un
able to secure seats.
Long before the hour for the removal
of the body from the home to St Peter's
church people began to arrive nd when
the body was borne from the house be
tween two long rows of patrolmen an
enormous crowd had arrived. The as
semblage was made up of almost every
prominent business man In Omaha. Civic
organisations, members of the Commer
cial club, Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, fire
men, patrolmen and plain cltlsens were
moved by one wave of grief a the somber
black casket was carried to the hearse.
,' Entire . Force Attends. '
Every member of tie Omaha police de
partment, with the exception of six, who
wore needed to guard the downtown dis
trict were present under the charge of
Lieutenant Thomas Hayes. Over half of
the fire department under Chief Salter
lined the opposite side of the street and
PolloeChlef Brlggs of South Omaha at
the head of his entire police and detective
department, marched to the residence, and
followed the long procession to the
church. " ' '
In the house, lying among a bower of
roses and flowers of all kinds was the
casket with the cover thrown back so
that those who wished could take a last
look at the man whom they loved during
life.
At exactly 9 o'clock County Attorney
English called for the active pallbearers
and simultaneously the heads of the hun
dreds of cltisens were bared as the body
was carried from the house. The patrol
men formed two long lines and stood at
"attention" while their dead chief was
carried away.
' These same big patrolmen, whose duty
It Is to guard the citireni of Omaha and
who. are supposed to be immune from
grief, broke down as their friend and
chief passed between them. Big tears
rolled down the cheeks' of brave men,
and many turned their heads as soon as
the casket had passed.
From the Home the procession moved
to the church. . The Vng line was headed
by several platoons of Omaha police and
firemen. The. hearse followed by the
active and honorary pallbearers came
next',. . . ""'
' A. Hen Stand at Attention.
Arriving at the church the patrolmen
formed two lines on cither sides of the
entrance, while the firemen lined the op
posite side of the street The carriages,
forty-five In number, drove between the
two lines, while the patrolmen and fire
men . stood, at attention.
High maes was said by Father McCarty
and he blessed the body with prayers In
Latin. Father T. H. Devlin, Jesuit, of St.
Joseph's hospital, translated the prayers
into English. Father Devlin then delivered
a short talk, in which he -likened life to

during which the dancer fall, one by

Is stopped for a while," said Father Dev
