The dapp investigating committee tor the first time since It began Its sessions last summer, yesterday turned up really Important testimony touching upon con tributions to the Republican war chest." which elected Theodore Roosevelt In ISM. Through the testimony of George R. Sheldon, treasurer or the Republican national committee since 190S, It was es tablished, not only that John D Arch-j bold, vice president of the Standard Oil Company, contributed 1100,000 to the campaign fund of 1304. but that Henry ;.' Frlck, the steel magnate, J. P. Mor ran . Co, and George J. Gould con tributed like amounts Nearly 73 per ent of the contributions, he said, were Yom corporation". Mr. Sheldon, who had testified before, was recalled for the purpose of laving this Information. His testimony as to the Standard Oil contribution will be re--elved as final settlement of that ques ion. The Republican treasurer told the com mittee that he learned of these large contributions from a memorandum which had been shown him by the late Corne lius X. Bliss, treasurer of the Republican National Committee In 1904 When Mr. Sheldon succeeded Bliss in IMS. the lat ter had turned this list over to him. Mr Sheldon, because of the campaign con tributions law which had gone Into ef fect since 1904. was unable to solicit funds from corporations, and turned the memorandum back to Mr Bliss. It Is supposed that this memorandum was iraons the papers which Cornelius Bliss. r.. son of the treasurer, testified his lather had destroyed before his death. The llurrlninn Fuml. Mr. Sheldon further testified that in a statement of receipts for 1904, which Mr. Bliss had shown him. reference was made to a fund of $255,000 or S240,000-Mr. Bliss could not remember which amount nas mentioned which H. H. Harrlman had turned over as coming from s? num oer of individuals. Questioned as to a letter which he had wrlttrn Pol. RoosevMt touclilns en the then existing control ersy over the Har rlman fund.

Senator Joseph M. Dixon, of Montana. Col Roosevelt's manager, was on the tand most of the day, to the marked Jiscomfort of all concerned. Senator Dlion showed a characteristically Bull Moose tendenci. His occupancy of the witness chair was one succession of spats with members of the committee, from the time he told his colleagues that they were doing nothing but shoot ing at Roosevelt until he. stepped down with the remark that he tried to be human at -all times, regardless of Sena torial courtesy or dignity. Senator Dixon was summoned and came, supposedlj. to throw some light on the contributions to the Roosevelt pre-conventlon campaign of last spring. The real purpose, however, as far as the Senator was concerned, was to publish to the world the charge that Roosevelt Is the sole object of the committee's In vestigation Despite heroic efforts on the part of all members of the committee, Dixon succeeded In his purpose. Fran tic and angry attempts to head him on were altogether unavailing, and the way he trampled on Senatorial courtesy was a caution Even Col. Roosevelt's lone friend on the committee. Chairman I'lapp, could not listen with equanimity to some of the things Dixon said, and indicated his displeasure in no uncer tain terms, but the Montana Progres sive spoke his little piece to his own complete satisfaction As to developing any Important facts from Dixon's testimony, it was out of the question He wouldn't stick to the questions propounded by members of the committee long enough to give them any satisfaction. If, Indeed, he did not com pletely Ignore them. Trait." Big: Contribution!. Mr. Sheldon made the startling state ment that of the 1.900,000 raised by Mr. Bliss In that Roosevelt campaign. 731-2 per cent was contributed by corpora tions. Democrats eagerly seized upon this ttatement as complete confirmation of the charges made by Judge Parker In that campaign that Mr. Roosevelt's fight was being financed almost entirely by the trusts Mr. Sheldon said that In the Bliss ac count, which he audited, the receipts Tooted up to $1,900,000, and the expendi tures to about $1,800,000. and at the foot of the statement was the Item In re gard to the $240,000 that had been re ceived by him and delivered direct to the State chairman. The statement submitted to the Sen ate committee recently by Mr. Bliss' son put the total of the 1904 fund at over $2,100,000: so that In this statement Mr. Bliss apparently had included the Harrlman contribution. Mr. Sheldon declared that he had been moved to write Col. Roosevelt a public letter giving his- understanding of the Harrlman $240,000 contribution, be cause he believed that Mr. Roosevelt had been misrepresented In tnat matter. Mr. Sheldon added that Col. Roosevelt had told him that he was Impatient with both Mr. Cortelyou ana jur. miss oe cause they had not publicly explained this transaction. Mr. Sheldon declared that the Initiative for the Harrlman fund :ame entirely from Odell, and not from Roosevelt. "Tou know this?" asked Chairman Clapn. "I do." said Mr. Sheldon.

Representath e William bulzer nas nominated for Governor of New York on the fourth ballot at 1 o'clock this morning by the Democrats after a four-hour session that was filled with exciting events Although Suizer was really nominated by acclamation, the fourth ballot was completed In compliance with the statutes. When the result was announced It showed that Suizer had 4)7 and Glynn three votes. These three were from Cayuga, and were controlled by Thomas Mott Osborne, who had led the opposi tion from the start Suizer was a con sistent gainer after the first ballot, and It was evident that when the third bal lot was concluded that nothing epuld stop the sentiment, which had about reached flood height for the Washington County man. At the beginning of the third ballot the ball was set rolling by Albany County, which changed Its nine votes from Glynn to the Representative. This was followed by two other counties with small representations which also switched to Suizer. Mets Withdraws Name. Without waiting for Klngs'County to be called, Herman A. Metz. former comp troller of New Tork. took the floor and withdrew from the contest In favor of Suizer, and the Suizer crowd went wild In an Instant Senator Robert F. Wag ner, of New Tork, was on his feet and announced that New Tork would cast Its 103 votes for Mr. Suizer.

Ambassador Wilson was notified of the murder of Russell, and upon his repre sentation to the Mexican government. troops are now in pursuit of Caso and his forces A new turn was given the already se rious situation in the south of Mexico vesterdav by reports of new revolts in that region. It Is stated that Gen. Ac ullar, the former Federal commander, has wiped out a force of about 200 Fed eral soldiers at Tehuacan. and that Gen. helix Lnaz has taken up arms against the government in northern Puebla. at a place called Zacapoaxtla Dim In the- Field. The significance of thee reports Is found in the fact that Felix Diaz. Is the nephew of former President Diaz, and that he Is understood to be operating In conjunction with Gen Aguilar. Advices received indicate that Gen. Aguilar' s force, which began operations in the State of Vera Cruz, are now close to Gen. Diaz, who Is In Puebla, an adjoining State. . From what Is known here about Felix Diaz, it is believed that any revolution he may lead will be on a much higher plane than the bandit operations Zapata, In the south, or Orozco, In the north If reports of his union with Gen Aguilar are confirmed. It Is believed the combined movement will soon become the most serious phase of the Mexican sit uation, and the most menacing to the Madero government Gen. Diaz Is known as one of the ablest men of Mexico He Is decidedly pro American When his uncle was Presi dent he was at one time director of po nce or .Mexico City, and proved himself an extremely capable man. He Is under stood to be popular personally, and it is not doubted that it he set out to da he could gather a large following In the field against the present govern ment.

Mexican ieacrais claim mat iney were victorious In a skirmish which took place In Canvon Aura, near the line of the Mexican National ltauwavs. it is stated about &00 men were engaged In this battle on each side.

Greece has long prepared for war and has bought four new torpedo boats, while the other three states of the confedera tion practically completed mobilization of the main parts of their armies at points whence all could be united easily. Government and press of Turkey are crying for war. and every available sol d er and reserve has been ordered Into the mobilization camps.
