.WASHINGTON, Oct L-The total ex
penditures of William Fllnn of Pittsburgh
In the 1912 progressive campaign have
been $144,808,29, according to a statement
he gave to the senate campaign Investi
gating committee today. The total
"Roosevelt expenditures" covering Mr.
Fiinn's personal activity as leader of the
Roosevelt forces in Pennsylvania was
$s"9,384.18. But the statement showed an
' additional sum of S9.0SS0, "expended by
John S. Weller, treasurer of the Roose
velt league." Other amounts expended
by Mr. Fllnn came under the head of ex.
penditures in republican and progressive
organization work, which Mr. Fllnn did
cot characterize' as "Roosevelt expendi
ture." The statement given to the committee
today was in answer to the repeated de
mands of Senator Oliver and Chairman
Clapp to know what amount the PittS'
burgh man had spent for all campaign
l purposes. '
Kevstone Triumvirate Agreement
Senator Porrierene produced a copy of
.what was said to be an agreement be-
't ween the late Senator Quay, Mr. Fllnn
I and J. O. Brown, under which political
affairs in Pennsylvania were to foave been
i apportioned between them.
"Did you write that agreement?" the
i senator demanded. -
Mr. Flinn declared he had been Called
I to Washington to' teU about campaign
expenditures and did not expect to be
tasked such questions.
"The committee does not care to be
' I lectured to." said Senator Pomerene.
"nlil vrut rurlte tin.t nsreament?"
"I'm perfectly .willing to tell tn my
.own way of my relations with Senator
'Quay," said FUnn. , ;. : J I
- r"I Intend that yon. shall answer w my
'way. Did you writ that agreements
vyes,- I did, or rather . I wrote an
agreement something like that" said
I Fllnn. "I ' can't teU whether that's It.
The Quay-FUnn-Brown agreement pur-
ported to provide that the three men
named should divide city and federal
patronage equally and work togethes po
litically. It already has been published.
Under the agreement Senator Quay was
to ' have control of republican national
delegates and Fllnn and Brown' were to
control local officers. The agreement
Contained a clause making Its effective
ness dependent UDon signature of C. L.
Macee. ,
Mr. FUnn- said he had framed the
'agreement' to allay the opposition of Sea
ator Quay to- the republican candidate
for mayor of Pittsburgh; that he had
never signed it and never Intended to
sign it. but had. written it to "gain
time" from Quay.
Sold Quay a Gold Brick.
"You recoKnize that it is about as
vicious an agreement as could be made,
don't you?" demanded Senator Pomerene,
rising and advancing toward Mr. Fllnn,
Mr. Fllnn said he had never intended
It should be effective. He said he had
voted against Quay, knowing the agree
ment would probably be dismissed and
that he would rather have had it pub
llshed than to have voted for Quay.
"I sold the senator a gold brick," said
Mr. FUnn.
Senator Pomerene wanted to know
more about the telegram sent, to the
Standard Oil company asking assistance
In Fiinn's canvass to succeed the late
Senator Quay. Mr. Fllnn repeated it
Mitchell Clothing
Store is Bobbed by
Three Employes
MITCHELL a Oct l.-(Special.-Something
of a sensation was created
here yesterday to the arrest of Abe
Koolish, Verne Woodman, Phil Medley,
all of this city, and Alerlc Bras of Seattle,
Wash., who has been visiting here a
month'. The first three are charged with
stealing goods from the Becker clothing
store and Bras for receiving a portion of
the stolen goods. All four young men
have lived here for & number of years,
and their parents are highly respectable
people. Koolish, Medley and Woodman
have been clerking In the Becker store
for some time and were trusted em
ployes. They formed a system of steal
ing the goods from the store and secret
ing them in the basement during the
day, and at night they took them out
and shipped them to St. Paul In suit
cases to Mllo Asplnwall. The shipping
of the suit cases aroused a suspicion,
and Mr. Becker placed a guard in the
store Saturday night, and he was re
warded on that occasion, for the three
boys entered the store after midnight
through a window, getting away with a
quantity of goods which . they at once
secreted. Asplnwall, the St. Paul man.
was arrested there today by Sheriff
Berry, and he will be brought back to
this city for his preliminary examln
tlon. Each of the young men waived ex
amination and they were bound over to
the November term of court in the sun
of $500 each. About $600 worth of goods
has been recovered here and in St. Paul.
It is estimated that the trio have got
away, with fully $1,000 worth of goods,
comprising suits of clothes, gloves,, silk
socks and all kinds of furnishing goods.

LONDON, Oct. 1. Everything, accord
ing to the dispatches from the disturbed
centers, seems ripe for the long expected
conflagration in the near east
The armies of the Balkan states are
preparing for war with feverish activ
ity. The mobilization order given out
yesterday Is being put into effect with
all speed, according to dispatches re
ceived here.
The various nations concerned appear
to believe that the longed-for moment
has at last arrived when they will be
(Sailed upon to march against Turkey.
The Turkish government diplomats as
sert, would like to find an easy way out
of the present war with Italy, and thinks
a war in the Balkans would give the
Ottoman government the outlet. The
Balkan states at the same time are anx
lous to get at their big neighbor while it
is involved with one of the great powers.
Potrers May Interfere.
There still remain but two points in
regard to which diplomats can continue
to maintain optimism. The first of these
is the fact that winter Is approaching and
will render active operations difficult,
while the second is that the European
powers are working In accord and have
warned the belligerent little states that
whatever might be the outcome of a war,
they would not be allowed to extend any
of their borders so as to take in a portion
of Macedonia.
At present there appears to be no rea
son why any of the European powers
should become involved if war breaks
out, although It is recognized by the dip
lomats of every country that it would
take little to draw them in, once the
trouble is started.

Austria Will Mobilise Army.

forced to mobolize a few of its army
corps in Bosnia so as to prevent Ser
vians from entering the Sanjak of Novi

which that country Is anxious to recap

bility of securing that addition to its ter.
ritory is the inducement for Servia to
join forces with its neighbors against
Turkey.
With the Austrian army thus partly
mobilized RusBla, It Is agreed, may
think It necessary to do likewise, as It
particularly desires to prevent a repeti
tion of the situation which occurred dur
ing the preceding crisis, when it was
compelled, under the threat of Germany,
to change its Balkan policy because of
its unpreparedness to protect Poland
against the armies of Germany.

A motion to 'set aside the order con

McManlgal, aged about 40 years, short,
chubby and of a florid .complexion, en
tered the court room grinning. His eyes
twinkled 1 keenly as he 'glanced at the
other defendants. He closely scrutinized
one by one the men with whom, he as
serts ho was once associated, but against
whom he now is arrayed as a prosecut
ing witness. As he looked not a sign ot
recognition other than McManlgal's In
scrutable grin passed between them.
Ortle JO. McManlgal, do you plead
guilty or not guilty, to the charges against
you?" asked Judge Anderson.
The sceno was dramatic. All the win
dows of the court room had been cur
tained to exclude outside annoyance and
the padding on the walls, provided to
deaden noise, seemed . to intensify the
silence. A score of attorney leaned for
ward to hear the prisoner's reply.
MeManlenl Plead Guilty.
McManlgal rubbed the back of his hand
across his chin and grinned again.
i'l plead guilty, your honor," he said.
McManlgal's plead will qualify him as a
witness for the government for which
purpose he had been Imprisoned for
eighteen months. But it occasioned no
surprise, for he already had confessed
to his operations as a member of the
McNamara "dynamiting crew."
