WASHINGTON, jQct "I. asked no man to contribute to the campaign fund when I was elected ' president of. the United States, and I wish to reiterate that Mr. Bliss and Mr. Cortelyou both assured 'me that no promise had been made as a return for any contribution. Neither they or any one else having au thority, asked me to act, or refrain from acting in any matter because any con tribution had been made or withheld. "Gentlemen, could I put It more sweep- lnglyj" W In these words. Colonel Roosevelt sum marlzed his testimony today at the close of the first part of his bearing before the Clapp committee of the -senate In vestigating committee, The colonel specifically denied that he ever asked for contributions, to his 1901 campaign fund; or that he bad knows of any contribution by 3 P. Morgan. To those unequivocable statements Col onel Roosevelt added again that ha had ordered the return to the Standard Oil company of any , contribution It might have made in 1904; and, that he did not veueve worneuua a. suss naa ever ae manded a contribution from John D. Archbold or from any corporation by any methods of extortion. - Colonel Roosevelt did not deny that cor porations had contributed to the 1304 cam paign. He said his letters and published statements had always acknowledged that fact, but he specified that no such contributions had ever been obtained un der any suggestion that the administra tion would reward the givers with special favors. Colonel Roosevelt testimony bristled with characteristic statement. "Senator Penrose should be driven from thesnate," he declared, "because of i acknowledged friendliness with Standard gressman Bartbold should be forced to prove their statements that the Roose velt primary campaign funds this year had amounted to S3.000.000 or $4,000,009 or should be driven out of public life." .. He declared as had Senator Dixon, his campaign manager. Wednesday, , that the senate committee's activities .had thus far been directed solely toward the Roosevelt campaign' funds' and ' that' no attention had been paid to other candi dates.

Hs forced hi way through the crowds In the corridors with some difficulty and found his way to Senator Clapp' private r'oom. There he met the member of the committee. The crowd continued to grow, end every door of the big room was sur rounded by an anxious crowd.

"I havs nothing-to say upon any sab. Ject," said the colonel. Greeted with Applause. ' The' spectators applauded rigorously as Colonel Roosevelt entered the room, fol lowed by a secretary lugging a big valise filled with paper.' The colonel took hi place In the witness chair and the sec retin with the big grip between his knee seated himself beside him. "You were a candidate for president in 1904?" asked Senator Clapp, "I was," answered the colonel shortly.
