Judge Parker Tells Clapp Com

By JUDSON C. WELLIVER.
That Cyrus H. McCormlck, presi
dent of tho International Harvester
Company, contributed 112,500 to the
nomination campaign In behalf of
Woodrow Wilson, was one of tho In
teresting; facts doveloped during the
Clapp commtttoo's Investigation of
campaign funds today.
Mr. McCormlck's namo did not ap
pear In the list, prepared In ad
vance, which Wilson's managor, Wil
liam F. McCombs, presented to tho
commlttoe. Instead, thero was an
Innocent llttlo Item of "Cloveland H.
Dodge and Prlncoton friends,
$85,800." It was only under exami
nation by the committee as to who
were the "Princeton friends," that
Mr. McCombs named the donors to
this fund; and tho list Included Mr.
McCormlck.
Disproves Hillcs' Charge
The development of tills fact about
the Harvester trust's Interest In behalf
of Wilson was the more significant, be
cause the allied opposition to Colonel
Roosevelt has been diligently trying to
convince the public that Roosevelt has
been financed by this particular com
bination. When Chairman Hllles, of the Repub
lican national committee, was on tho
stand last week he devoted himself
largely to an effort to show that tho
Harvester trust was wickedly and ex
tensively financing Roosevelt. Colonel
Roosevelt retorted with the domand
that Hllles, for the Republicans, or Wil
son, for the Democrats, bring forward
proof of any contributions to the Pro
gessive cause. Ho denied positively that
the Harvester Corporation, illrectly r
Indirectly, had given a dollar to hid
campaign.
Now comes, atop of this effort to sad
dle the Harvester support on Roosevelt,
the revelation that It not only has not
been for Roosevelt, but that Its presi
dent did give 112,500 to the Wilson nom
ination fund. Nothing has been brought
out, of course, as to the amount given
to the election funds, becauso the pres
ent Inquiry does not touch on that par
ticular fund.
List Foots $193,556.
The McCombs list footed up 11D3.D56.81
as the total of contributions to the
nomination campaign of the New Jer
sey governor; an amount that caused
some gasping and wonderment In the
committee room when tho figures were
mentioned. In view of tho fact that the
Wilson people have from the start as
sumed an attitude of peculiarly virtu
ous and grinding poverty. On the face
of the facts brought out. tho Wilson
campaign would appear to have had
the oniy real, old-fashioned campaign
fund there was. Here aro some of tho
big contrlbuters as shown by tho Mc
Combs list:
Frederic C. Penfteld, Philadelphia,
who married Mrs. Anno Welghtman
Walker, possessor of a fortuno of many
millions, representing tho "Quinine
trust." 112,000; William P. McCombs,
$11,000; Charles R. Crane. J10.000: Cyrus
H. McCormlck. J12,C00; H. J. Harrett.
$2,500; F. D. Robert, $2,500; George F.
Handel, $2,500; R. Maglll. $2,500; Ahram
I. Elkus, $12,600; Harvev Thomas. $6,500;
Thomas D. Jones, $10,500; Daniel Pel
lows Piatt, $2,500; Henrv Morgenthau,
$20,000; Cleveland II. Dodge, $51,300;
collected through William G. McAdon
(Jacob II. Schlff), $2,600; and Edward
W. Sheldon, $1,000.
Much Sent to States.
How comfortably tho Wilson cim
palgn was financed Is Indicated by Mr.
McCombs' statement that he sent in
particular States such amounts as $10,500
to Wisconsin and $10,900 to South Da
kota. Judge Alton II. Parker was on the
stand a short time, and begun a story
which was Interrupted bv tho noon-tlma
recess. He told how ho cumo to attack
RoOBevelt, In tho late days of tho llioj
campaign, tor naving nis campairn

BRUSH STADIUM. NEW YORK.
Oct. 14. They were waiting for Rube
Marquard today the depressed fan
legion of Polodom which gathered
early to sit In on tho Giants' last
stand tholr last rally against an
overwhelming lead whoro defeat to
day would close out tho battle for
tho year and leave tho Bed Sox tri
umphant, successors to tho Mack
machine of 1910 and 1911.
And tho main hlngp of McOraw'a
wry necked southpaw was now tho
solo blockading feature beforo tho
Red Sox rush.
Have Hope In Marquard.
Remembering the Rubn had wrenched
off the only Giant .victory gained out of
five contests, they looked to him to lead
his pals back Into the fight again by
coming through with another conquest.
when Tesreau and Mathcwson could
take a combined shot at tho champion
ship, and look for better support.
Under theso conditions tho appearance
of tho renowned Rube stringing across
the battlefield with his accustomed
grace, poise, and nonchalance was the
signal lor a roar oi nopo ana welcome
which echoed with much tho same ef
fect as the buglo call sounding the
charge.
Whllo Marquard lolled about, a count
less number of eager orbs were shifted
In the direction of Stahl's array, whore
Wood, O'Brien, and Collins stood In a
group as If discussing tho general situ
ation unci comparing the rcspectlvo
powers of their well-known salary
wings.
Players Ask for O'Brien.
Stahl had first planned to work Wood,
but tho report was flashed that tho
players had asked that Ruck O'Hrlen
bo given another chance, ns they wore
confident that their spltball star could
upset tho left-handed pride of Manhat
tan Isle and close out the series by
dusk. The Job of picking his rifleman
was a tough task for J, Garland, as he
expectod tho Rube to pitch his heart In
this declslvo contest, where weather
ci ndltions were all In his favor.
Marquard likes nothing better than a
dark, gray background, where his
whistling speed and fast hop hnvo tho
foe bewildered. Thli day, like all tho
tho others, showed llttlo trace of sun
light. And as this shadowy feature of
tho woather proved n big help to Hugh
Dcdlent, Saturday, McOraw looked for
It to make Marquard Invincible today.
Next Game In Boston.
Shortly after both clubs had reached
tho field, Secretary Heydlcr, of the Na
tional League, ai rived with the state
ment that. In caso New York won. tho
next game would be fought In Boston.
Also In case New York should be vic
torious It was proclaimed that the no
tlonil commission would gather Im
mediately after today's contest and
flip to dectdo tho locat'on of Wednes
day's contest In order to have all de
tails settled in case the Olants should
teur off two games and prolong tho con
test. McOraw, uncertain as to W'hether
Stahl had decided to work Wood or
Collins, took no chances, ond trotted
out all his tulrlers for o practice. It
was evident that tho lOant loader
banked heavily upon Doyle, Merkle, and
Meyers, his trio of .300 hitters returning
to form, as the buttling lapse of this
trio has proven a costly stumble.
"We'll tret some hits todav," McOraw
said, "and If mv defense only backs up
the Rube there'll bo nothing to It. But
wo can't win ball games booting runs
over the plate for them while we are
forced to earn every Bcore we make.
That's the angle of tho situation now,
AH we have to do Is to make them earn
what they got and Its anybody's series
yet."

RAWLINS, Wro, Oct. 14. Two
escaped convicts were shot and
killed la the kills near here to
day by posses sent qui after them,
according to reports received kerc
shortly after noon. Other members
of the cane, armed with knives
and cleavers, are said to be hiding

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 14. With
two persons known to bo dead, two
others reported slain, and ono mor
tally wounded In tho open country
about RawllnB, Wyo., excitement was
at fover heat all over tho Stato to
day ns the result of last night's riot
of convicts nt tho Stato penitentiary,
resulting In tho second successful
prison delivery thero In thirty-six
hours.
Of tho eight convicts who over
powered their guards and escaped
last night, one, Antonio Paseo, a
life-termer, Is known to havo been
shot down. Another convict, name
unknown, Is said to have been slain
outsldo of Rawlins by a posse of
penitentiary guards and a third is
reported mortally' wounded.
Kill Hunter, Seize Weapons.
Charles Strazcr, a Rawlins barber,
attempted to stop tho fleeing con
victs when they left the prison, and
was siot through live temple by
Paseo, dying Instantly. Another citi
zen, a hunter, name unknown, was
also slain by convicts outside of Raw
lins when the fugitives held up a
hunting party and seized their wcap
ons and ammunition This could not
be confirmed early this morning.
Although sixteen hours hove passed
since the delivery. It Is Impossible
to get accurate statements from Raw
lins as to how many convicts are
still at large. There havo been two
deliveries since Saturday afternoon
and as a result much confusion ex
ists.
Lato yesterday "Dutch" Dalton, a life,
termer, and fourteen other convicts
overpowered the Inner guards at the
Rawlins penitentiary and escaped. They
spread out over the town and then went
Into the surrodudlng country. Warden
Alston ordered out a half dozen posses
to search for them.
Arm Selves and Escape.
The absence of many guards from the
prison was the direct cause of the sec
ond escape. Antonla Paseo, a bad man
of tho most desperate type, organized
a party of prisoners, and, early last
night eight of them rushed tho Inner
guards, overpowered the turnkey,
climbed the walls and quietly walked
away. Before going, however, they
armed themselves with butcher knives,
hatchets and cleavers from the kitchen
The party remained together and
started through the residence section of
Rawlins. Prison yard guards gave
chase. Charles Strazer saw tho fugi
tives and tried to capture them. They
fled from him at flint until they reached
tho yard of Bert Talbert.
Paseo slashed, Talbert across the
throat, seized his rovolver and shot
Strazer dead. Tho convicts took Strid
or's rifle and ammunition ond ran.
Guards overtook them near the rail
road yard ana shot the top of Paseo's
head off. Tho others (led through tha
yards, firing as they ran. Three were
captured and four reached the outskirts.

nanllo and General Martlnovltch
the Montenegrin lines about Scutari
King Nicholas Is tightening the
the Montengrln lines about Scutari.
As his toops sweep southward and
the two wings move eastward and
westward they leave a trail of devar
tatlon behind. The Montenegrin armies
have burned the Mohammedan vil
lage of Kranta, driving off tho sur
viving Inhabitants to secure food
within the Turkish lines or to per
ish of starvation and exposure In
the mountains. More than sixty llttlo
children perished In the burning of
the Ullage.
Through the capturo Saturday or Blel

Tho capture of this hill was a difficult

Patriotic enthusiasm and fighting
spirit overflowed at a meeting of
Greeks held by the Pan-Hellenic Union
yesterday, 100 men declaring they
would return to' Greece to flght the
Turk, and 2.W0 being subscribed In a
short time for the support of the fami

Thero wos no man at the meeting,
held In Plasterers' Hall, who did not
think war Is Imminent between Greece

speech was an appeal that once and for
all a stop be mado to the domination
of Turkey.
Alexander Alexandropolls, prominent
In his native land, and a delegate to
the International Congress of Cham

ing, declaring that the temper of native
Greeks Is at blood heat, war Is Inevita
ble, and It Is tho duty of Greeks to re
turn to the defense of their fatherland.
"The Uvea of the thousands of
Greeks who live In Turkish territory

MAN HIMSELF
Bridgie Webber Tells How
Police Official Went Look
ing for Rosenthal.
GAMBLER BACKS UP
STORY OF JACK ROSE
Defendant Only Sneers as Wit
ness Accuses Him of Gloat
ing Over Murder.
NEW YORK, Oct. 14. In a steadr.
firm voice, which was plainly heard
in every corner of tho court room,
Drldglo Webber, noted gambler, add
ed bis story of tho murder of Her
man Rosenthal to that of Jack Rose
in tho trial of Police Lieutenant
Becker today. Like Rose, Webber
named Becker as tho Instigator of
the crime and, like Rose, he de
clared that only tho insistence of the
policeman compelled the gamblers to
employ gunmen to shoot down the
man who threatened to end gambling
and protection payments in New
York.
But he went farther than Rose,
for Webber declared that, while
Rosenthal's body was still lying In
the back room of tho Tenderloin po
lice station house, Becker lamented
the fact that ho himself might not
havo been privileged to Are the fatal
shot.
Becker Only Sneers.
"Why, I drove slowly by the Hotel
mystlf," W-ebber sworo Becker said to
him, and If I could hove seep tho
I would have shot him down from
my car.".
As Wobber made this remarkable ac
cusation against the polloe officer he
looked straight at Becker, but the pris
oner only gazed sneerlngly In his direc
tion a second and then turned toward
his wife, sitting In a cornrf of the room
and smiled reassuringly at her.
Webber's story was for the most part
corroboration of that of Rose, and, as
soon as he was turned over to Mcln
tyre for cross-examination the defensa
attorney went at him hammer and tongs
In an effort to show that his story was
not worthy of belief.
Webber calmly admitted running an
opium Joint In Chinatown, but virtuous.
ly Insisted only white men and women
were permitted there, and that the bars
were up to Chinamen. He also failed
to fix any dates In his story, calmly
admitting to Mclntyre that he only re
mumbercd one the night of the killing.
Press Cards Withdrawn.
When the trial opened District Attor
ney Whitman suddenly shifted his plans
and called as his first witness Wlnfleld
S. Sheehan, secretary to Police Commis
sioner Waldo.
Before taking the bench Justice Goft
sent for District Attorney Whitman,
Attorney Mclntyre, and a number of
newspaper men. He said he was con
vinced a number of gangsters s'oured
admission to the court room on Satur
day by means of police cards Issued to
permit nowspapt representatives to
pass through the pu '-e lines. As a re
sult, Goff said, ao.. Nslon hereafter
would be on cards Blgh" by him per
sonally. Justice Goff was especially angered
over the fact that beforo Attorney Mc
lntyre left the court room on Saturday
night ho was openly threatened bv an
unknown Individual, who told him that
If he reflected on the wife of Jack Ross
he would be killed. Goff Is having a
search for this man made on the de
scription furnlBhed him by Mclntyre.
Identifies Orders.
Sheehan had been called to Identify
certain police orders sent to Becker and
Becker's signed reply, the Intention of
the State being to have Becker's sig
nature established. Mclntyre objected
strenuously to this evidence, but when
Sheehan had said that ho was perfect
ly familiar with the signature of the
accused officer Justice Goff permitted
the questioning along this line.
It was reported in tho court room that
Whitman had letters In his possession
Mined by Becker which he claimed
would provo the partnership between
Becker and Rosenthal and the relations
between Becker and Rose, as sworn to
by tho witness.
For an hour Assistant District At
torney Moss labored with Sheehan
trying to get him to Identify an
anonymous dealing with tho gambling
situation In New Tork as an Inclosure.
he had put Into a letter sent to Becker.
Sheehan insisted that he handled so
many letters dally that he could not
tell anything about any particular In
closure unless there was something un
usual In connection with it.
Then Moss tried to show that this
particular letter was a subject of a
conversation between tho witness and
Commissioner Waldo, but 8heehan In
sisted he knew nothing y' bout the mat
ter, and Moss was finally obliged to
glvo up und excuse tho witness with
out getting tho letter beforo the Jury,
Webber Takes Stand.
Brldgle Webber was then called to
tho stand.
Webber looked pale and worried as
he took the oath and settled back Into
his chair.
"Did you know Herman Rosenthal!"
asked Moss after he had established
Webber's name and occupation.
"Yes, I knew him for fourteen years.''
"Knew Jack Zellg?"
"About the same length of time."
"Know Lieutenant Becker?"
"I have known Becker about two
