Accidents at State Fair-Thought to Be Result of Conspiracy: T7 A. Phelps, tho balloonist at the state fair, who takes up the grizzly bears, had a narrow cs-' cape from nn appalling death yesterday: afternoon. Incidentally, there is a story' of deadly plotting behind tho cause of the accident that befell Phelps, if the statement of all balloonists at the fair grounds Is correct. Phelps mado a tine ascent at 5:30 o'dock yesterday afternoon. lie cut. loose the parachute to which is attached ono of the grlrzly bear cubs. The bear and his parachute dcoconded in safety. Then Phelps cut loose his own para chute. Ho descended to within 100 or 1D0 feet feet of. the ground when five of tho ropes broke by which the aeronaut's hoop is attached to tho 'parachute. Slmul tancoualy the parachute itself spilt. -PhcIpB was swinging at the time in an effort to make a convenient landing. To this fact he attributes his escape, for as ho swung the ropes broke -and he struck tho "pole" of the race course with his right hip. This served to break his fall faomewliat, and while ho hit tho earth with a terrific Impact, aud a sound as though he nnut havn been crushed Into iu mass, . .tho momentum had been suffi ciently broken to save the full force of the full. The attending physician and tho few who witnessed the. accident are of the opinion that Phelps 'would surely have been- killed but for the presence of the fence rail Wife Bitten By Bear.

MORGAN TELLS OF IKING BIG CONTRIBUTIONS Admits Giving $100,000 to Roosevelt Campaign Fund in 1904, and 50,000 More Just Before Election. CONFIRMS STORY TOLD BY SHELDON Financier Makes Good Wit ness and Parts With Senate Investigating Committee on Best of Terms. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. J. Pler pont Morgan told tho senate contributions committee today that while ho had contributed $180,000 to the last two Repub lican presidential funds, the gifts were made "without expectation of roturn." After saying ho had contributed $1G0, 000 to the fund of 1904, and 30,000 to the fund of 1908, Mr. Morgan turned to the committee and exclaimed earnestly: "I want it distinctly understood that J. P. Morgan & Company never made any subscription to any olectlon with promise j or expectation of anything or return In any way, shape or manner, and wo never made It without we deemed it ad vantageous for the government and tho people. We never had a communication from any candidate. We never had an application from any candidate for money, and anything that we did, or that was done under my suggestion and we wore all In harmony was that it was necessary for the good of the peo ple and the business of tho people. Thero never was a commitment of any expec tation of any roturn, and we never got any return, either, from anybody." Repeated Denials. Thin statement followed, a series of. questions by Senator Pomercne as to whather New York financiers had con ferred and ascertained the attitude of various candidates toward buslncas be fore making contributions. Mr. Morgan repeatedly denied that there was any concerted action among New York busi ness interests in support of the Repub lican candidate in 1904. Mr. Morgan said that after making his original contribution of $100,000 in 1901 ho was importuned to give another $50, 000, which he did. This, ho understood, was part of tho so-called Itarrlman fund and was turned over to B. B. Odell for the New York state fund. Charles IT. Duell, assistant treasurer of the 1901 fund, who followed Mr. Mor gan on the atand, said that all the ac counts of tho committee were open to Mr. Cortelyou, tho chairman. Roosevelt Today. Colonel Roosevelt will b tha principal witness before the commlttco tomorrow. Ho will be questioned as lo his knowlcdgo of contributions by corporations to tho 1901 fund and particularly as to tho eo callcd Standard Oil contribution of ?100, 000, which ho said hs ordered returned. Tho colonel will also bo asked as to the financing of tho pre-convontlou campaign for his nomination this j'ear. Mr Morgan was a willing wltnoBa bo fore the commlttco. At times ho chuckled gleefully, as when ho told tho committee that "there was no limit" to the amount tho .Republican campaign commlttco in 1901 was willing to accopt. Mr, Morgan took his heekUnp by the committee In a holiday spirit and laughed heartily as, In leaving, ho told Chairman Clapp that ho "guessed" his expenses and witness fcc3 "would be all right." Morgan Arrives. Mr. Morgan reached the commlttco room before the hour set for 'the hearing, ac companied by ids son-in-law. Herbert I. Sattcrlce. Tho financier tugged at his mustache as he took hl3 seat and watched the members of tho committee closely. "Glvo tho stenographer your name, please," said Chairman Clapp. "J. Pierpont Morgan." "Your address?" "Two hundred and nineteen Madison avenue, Now York, "your business?" "Hanker." Chairman Clapp called Mr. Morgan's at tention to a published artlclo by Charles Edward Russell, charging that President Roosevelt had demanded that Mr. Mor gan rale 5100,000 for hlH campaign and that AVayno MacVeagh had been presont when Mr. Morgan talked with the white houso over tho telephone. "Do you remember any such incident?" naked Senator Clapp. "Nothing whatever," replied Mr. Mor gan, "I nevor corresponded over tho tele phone, telegraph or by mall with Presi dent Roosevelt that I know of," Mr. Mor gan added, "nor with anyono at tho whlto house. 'TJid you inako any contributions to the Republican national campaign of 1904?" Hir. Morgan adjusted Ills glasses and looked at a paper. "In. October, 1904, T gav0 $100,000; on November 1 I gave another $50,000." ".nv more?" nuked Chairman Clapp. "No', that's all I know of."

MOYER INSISTENT THAT MEN WILL WIN Utah Copper Company Offi cials Firm in Independent Stand; Two Small Mines at. Ely Resume. TTAT mining operations will bo re sumed at Bingham today or to morrow, or at least not later than the first of the coming week, was the substance of reports that came yesterday from apparently authentic sources. It also was reported that tho resumption of work would take place on a small scale, employing ntrike-breakers or formor employees who are willing to return, and Increasing the number of workmon gradually until the normal foroe Is reached. It is declared that several hundred strike-breakers are at hand and uwalt an order by mlno operators, principally the Utah Copper company, to take up their respective tasks at Bingham, where. It is known, several hundred more men will be available, having been forced out of their Jobs because of tho strike but not because they favored it. Officials Are Silent. Officials of the Utah Copper company have rigidly held to their statements that operations would bo resumed, but still de cline to say tho exact time. Assistant General Manager R. C. Gommcll, who was iu Bingham "Wednesday and yesterday, returned to Salt Lake last evening with Superintendent J. I. Shilling, supposedly to confer with tho company officials on resuming work at the mines. .Neither Mr. Gommcll, Mr. Shilling nor D. C. Jack ling, vice president and general manager, would last night affirm or deny that tho Bingham properties would be opened again today or tomorrow. Apparently fearing a movement at once that might bring trouble in the mining camp, Sheriff. Joseph C. Sharp became active yesterday. He ordered notices sent to all men who had applied for positions as deputy sheriffs at Bingham slnco the strike was called and who had not been deputized, by" which careful note was se cured of tho applicants' addresses, tele phone numbers and where they could be readily reached, day or night. While the sheriff declines to make a statement, it is reported that he fears there may be serious trouble if operations aro resumod, and that he Is preparing to rush a large body of deputies to tho camp on quick notice.

Wilde, business ropresentatlvo of tho As sociated Union of Steam Shovolmcn. Willing to Settle. "I am willing to step aside and let the mlno owners and tho miners select whom soever they pleuso to settlo theso strikes," declared Moyer. Moyer was bitter toward the Utah Copper and Nevada Consolidated compa nies, which ho accused of Intimidating smaller mine owners, He approved tho suggestion that tho Commercial clubs of Salt Lako and Ulngham make an cfforL to effect a settlement, saying it was lo tho Interest of business men thaL the strike bo discontinued. He said: Mr. Jackling Is quoted as saying he . is willing to meet tho miners em ployed by his company whenovtir thoy desire. Now is his opportunity and the opportunity of all tho mine own ers to realize that desire. It docs not matter to mo whether tho miners so lect as tholr representatives any offi cial of the federation, whether thoy select mo or any other man, whothor ho la employed or not employed in ,nny capacity at thn mines.
