f-i .4' THE WASHINGTON TBIES, MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1912. ri' V fiUSSEL'S STORY ' ABOUT MORGAN ' iS CORRECTED Telephone Conversation Was . With Harriman, Not With u , Roosevelt. (Continued from First Pee.) Roosevcit: but that Utterly Ills senti ments had undefgone some change, and he no longer felt very friendly. Story MacVeagh Told. "Outing the conversation Mr. Mac Veagh ald, aa I "now recollect It; that one morning, late In October, ' 1994, ho had bten In Mr. Morgan's office In New Jfork. At secretary entered and asked Mr. Morgan personally to answer a' .telephone call from Mr. Harriman. Mr. .Morgan demurred, but went out ttf tele phone. Returning presently, he seemed displeased with what had transpired, arid demanded to know: "What do you suppose that man. In the White .House I do not recall whether the word 'maniac' was used, but at anyhow It was an expression In nowise complimentary wants now7 It seems that Mr. 'Harriman has accepted the President's Invitation to dlnn with him, and now he comes back wanting more campaign money." "Mr. Morgan indicated the opinion that there was no need of raising more money; but Mr. Harriman was Insist ent; he wanted to raise JffiO.OOO. of which he would give 150,000, and he wanted 150,000 more from Mr. Morgan. "Mr. MacVeagh said that he observed, facetiously, that to give the money Probably wouldn't subject Mr, Morgan's solvency to any undue strain. Mr. Mor gan admitted that, but didn't like to make contributions that were not needed. Morgan Gave Money. " "As I recollect It, after two years. during which the conversation haa not. been much In my mind, Mr. MacVeagh added that Mr. Morgan concluded tljst he would give the money, and did write .his "check for It and send It to Mr, Harriman." On a brief cross-examination the witness said that he had no further Information about campaign fund matters. He added thai his recollec tion of the MacVeagh Incident waa not fresh In his mind, and some de tails might be corrected by Mr. Mac Veagh and Mr. Morgan, whose mem ories would doubtless be more vivid than his own. Other Important Testimony. A mass of Important testimony wns laid before the committee by five wit nesses, Charles It. Crane, Lewis Ham merllng, of Mew Tork, and Col. John J. Hannan, secretary to Senator Ia Follette; In addition to Mr. Welllver and Mr. Russell. Conspicuous In the testimony was the atatement of Charles R. Crane, of Chi cago, who was alleged by Elom II. Hooker, treasurer of the Progressive party, to have given 170,000 each to the La Follette fund and the Wilson fund. Mr. Crane got close attention through out his testimony. He said he gave t:s,C81M to Lo. Follette's campaign. Vis that all you gave, directly or In directly r' "Tea sir." "How much did you give to Governor Wilson r "Ten thousand." said Crane, "In two contributions one on March 28 and an other April 30." Crane's attention was then called to Hooker's testimony that he. Crane, told Hooker that he had given $70,000 each to Senator La Follette and Wilson's campaigns. "I never had such a conversation," said Crane. "I talked with him, but never told him I gave any such sums." In connection wtlh his testimony, Crane made the following statement: "My contribution, to the Wilson fund was made after It had become appar ent that La Follette probably could not be nominated. I desired to see a Pro gressive nominated and elected Presi dent. I could very well support both Wilson and La Follette, as both men are .Progressives. That I was contrib uting to both the Wilson and La Fol lette funds was known to the managers of the two candidates, I made no se cret of the fact. tong a Progressive. "I have been In sympathy with the Progressive movement for many years. "A word on another matter. During the primary campaign, particularly dur ing the California campaign, I was stated to be the head of the so-called 'Bath Tub trust,' the Inference being, of course, that I was Interested In politics to protect that organization. Let me aay that I nor no member of my family own or ever have owned stocks or bonds of that organisation, I do not own and never have owned nor has any member of my family so far as I know any hocks or Donas or any ci me sa-cauea trusts." Crane said ho gave about 5,000 a montn to la roiiette. "I was wllllntr to clvo much to each candidate," said Crane. "Hooker ns around to get money for his Promts alve candidate. He thought he might as wen come in. Crane gave no money to the Cull Moose fund. "Would you have been subjected to this criticism by Colonel Roosevelt If you had contributed to three campaigns instead or two?' asxea uenator rom erene. "I might have been accused of monop oly." answered Crane, laughing. "What ever Interest I had. was a personal not a business Interest." Cranu was on the witness stand only fllteen mlnutee. La Follette Statement Col. John J. Hannan, secretary to Senator La Follette, submitted to the committee a statement of La Folette's pre-conventlon receipts and expendi tures.

Although Justice doff Is nearly soven- Ay years old, he haa decided to hold night sessions of his court In order to expedite the trial, not alone of Flecker, but of the four men accused or being the actual murderers of Rosenthal and all of the other persons Implicated In the crlmo. , District Attorney Whitman appeared with Frank Moss, his chief assistant, as his aide. The ,defense was In charge of John F, Mclntyre, one of the leaders of the criminal branch of the bar, who has been counsel for the defense In many of the most noted murder cases In this vicinity In recent years. A special panel of KO talesmen from the "struck Jury" list wus on hand when the Becker trial was called. It was the belief of the district attorney that he would have his Jury complete by tomorrow night Molntyre was more pessimistic and thought the entlru weex wouia ds neeaea to get the Jury. History -of Case. Horman Rosenthal, a gambler, who had been having trouble with the po lice, arising largely 'out of charges of grafting that he had made against Po lice Lieutenant Becker, was shot and Instantly killed about 2 o'clock In the morning of July 16 In the doorway of the Hotel Metronole In West Fortv- thlrd street. Rosenthal had come to the hotel at midnight and had been In con versation with several men In the res taurant. He left the hotel when told a friend wanted to see him outside Just at that moment a gray touring car, which had been standing on the opposite side of Forty-third street, moved slowly across. There were four men In It besides tho chauffeur. Three of the men got out of the car, drew revolvers and began tiring, under tne rusimae or outlets Rosenthal died almost Instantly. The gray tourlijg car and Its occupants dls aDDeared. . The first arrests were of Louis Libby and William Shapiro, the owner and driver of the gray murder car. A little later Jack Rose, the self-confessed col lector for Lieutenant Becker, surrender ed, and "Brldgey" Webber, the gambler and proprietor of the poker rooms at r orty-secona street ana aixm avenue. where the gunmen gatnerea ror tne at' tack on Rosenthal. Was arrested. Harrv Vallon. Webber's Dartner: Ja cob Reich, or Jack Bulllvan, as he pre fers to be known, tho intimate friend of Lieutenant Becker, were apprehended soon alter. y Arrests of Gunmen. After another Interval "Whltey" Lewis and "Dago Frank" Clroflcl, two of the gunmen, were caught. Not long ago Samuel Schepps, paymaster of the mur derers, was caught at Hot Springs. Ark., and brought back to New York. There then remained the other two gunmen who rode In 'the murder car. These were' Harry Horowitz, or "Qyp the Blood," and'"I.)fty Louie" Rosenxwelg, These were captured In the Borough of Queens, where they were living quietly with their wives In an apartment which had been rented for them after the mur der. Lieutenant Becker was arrested soon after Jack Rose and Brldgev Webber were imprisoned, and since men nas been held In the Tombs awaiting trial, Jack Rose's confession was the direct causo of Becker being charged with murder in the first degree, of which the four gunmen are also accused. It is alleged he had them hired to kill Rosenthal. "Red blotches all over face itched so I could not sleep" NEW York, N. Y., July 28, 1912.-"About six months ago red blotches appeared all over my face and body, which itched so I could not sleep. The troublo first began on my face, and then on my arms, and on parts of my body. It was very itchy, and burning, especially at night. I tried many salves and medicines to clear my blood, but they only drove the sores from one place to another. I was ashamed to go out in the street. I saw an advertise ment for Rea'nol Soap and Ointment, and sent for a sample. I used them and they helped me enough to assure me-4hey would cure me, v so I bought some Rcsinol Soap and Ointment; and in a short time my face and body were again clear and cured."
