elusive:;.' in the realms of finance, save
ample proof that he is something of a
political philosopher when he gave this
sidelight on the Roosevelt method of
getting contributions in 1904:
"Yep, I remember Cortelyou being in
the office once or twice on this sub
ject."
Senator Pomerene —"Was anything
said as to the amount they desired to
raise at that time?"
Mr. Morgan—l do not think there
was any limit. I think they would
take anything they could get.
Senator Paynter—They would have
taken all your assets?
Senator Pomerene —You mean there
was no limit to that game?
Morgan's reply was most emphatic.
".Vo. there wasn't!"
Even the Roosevelt men who had
been packing the senate committee
room to make ready for the appear
ance of the colonel tomorrow joined In
ihe general laugh.
The strongest man in Wall street
also gave his views of political grati
tude. He had admitted a moment be
lore that when Bliss came to him
to get another contribution he gave
530,000 in cash, and when he was asked
whether he had not called attention
Co the fact that h<? had already chipped
in $100,000, he said that Vhe earlier
"ibutions had slipped his mind.
••"Well.' , remarked Senator Pomercne,
"at least they should have shown some
gratitude over the total."
"My obligation was gone when they
got from me what they could," said
Morgan.
ISED TO BE!\(i HELD IP
Then Senator Paynter asked: "But
ou not seek to remind them that
that was a very liberal contribution
and that they ought not ti> ask you
for another $."0,000?"
"No; because they said it w.is an
emergency. It was the necessity of
getting more money."
"But after you had made the first
contribution you must have been sur
prised when they came back for more."
"No,"' said the financier, with irony,
■ accustomed to is."
'Did Mr. Bliss. Odell. Corielyou or
any of them express thefr gratitude?"'
"No, -, Paid th" Witness. "Gratitude
ratber scare* in my expe
rience.''
The days pro>-eedings= were brimful
of just such pvlianeps. The testi
mony showed that Perkins, the bull
moose "angel," whs just as diligent in
the colonel's behalf in 1904 as in 1512.
STEEL THIST CU7B IN, TOO
Even in 13'"M, it a-ppeared, the I'nited
States Steel company was willing t*»
invest 41 rt .ooo in Roosevelt's campaign,
so that Perkins' activity, considering
the feet that he is one of the Urge]
stock holders in that company, was not I
at all inconsistent with his former po-I
attlon.
it was Judge Charles if. Pu»]l, as-I
per of the Roosevelt cam
in ii'f'-l, tune a bull mooser, who
clutel Mβ hazy reeolleetloa the
fact thai the steel trust had been one
of the contributors to the big fund of
tl.at was raised to elect
ItooseveH. >
That the Interest of Wali street in
that campaign vu not because ef the
republican party, but because of Theo
dore Roosevelt himself, was clearly in
dicated by the fact that in 190S Mor
gan contributed a pmitry to the
campaign committee handling the. Taft
and by the additional fact
that Morgan did not contribute a
penny to .the republican party this year.
He said the reason that he did not con
tribute to the primary fight was be
cause ■ . out of the country,
: : eference for candidates
this year. He was not afeked whether
the support of George W, Perkins, his
r partner, was significant of the
fact that most of the trusts this year
gain favoring their spoiled child
of 1904.
ROOSEVELT, BOLD AS BRASS,
MAKES DENIAL,
While fitllSS, Cortelyou and Odell
were taking: Morgan's money and E.
H. Harriman's money and Frick's »nd
Archbold's—in a word, accepting 73H
per cent of $2,200,000 from the corpor
ations of the country—Alton B. Parker,
democratic candidate for president, was
charging that the trusts and Wall
street were rushing to the aid of Roose
velt and by tieir contributions were
.financing his campaign for, the pres
idency. To which ILoosevelt, with the
pa me vigr>7- with which he issues de
r.ials in the present campaign, made
the following formal statement from
the White Housr in November t ipo4:
"The statements made by Mr. Parker
are unqualifiedly and atrociously false.
As Mr. Cortelyou has said to me more
than once during this campaign, if
fleeted, I shall go into the presidency
unhampered by pledge, promise or un
derstanding of any kind, sort or de
scription, save my promise made open
ly to the American people that, so far
as my power lies, I shall see to it that
every man has a square deal—no lees,
no more."
WHAT MORGAN SAID *
At one time during , the hearing
Morgan said:
I want it distinctly understood
that J. P. Morgan & Co. never
made a single subscription to any
election "with any promise or ex
pectation of anything or return in
any way, shape or manner and we
never made it without we deemed
it advantageous for the govern
ment and the people. We never had
a communication from any candi
date. We never had an applica
tion from any candidate for money
and anything that we did, or that
was done under my suggestion—
and we were all in harmony—was
that it was necessary for the good
of the country and the business of
the people. There was never a
commitment of any expectation
of any return and we never got
any return, either, from anybody.
Frick and Morgan—the former
having contributed $100,000 to the fund,
and the latter, as shown by his tes
timony $150.000 —were later given au
thority by President Roosevelt to buy
the Tennessee Coal and' Iron company
for the United States Steel corporation.
One of Morgan's partners became a
member of Roosevelt's cabinet and
Morgan's son in law became assistant
secretary of the navy. And Perkins,
former partner of Morgan, is today
financing Roosevelt's third term aspira
tions.
Such are the damaging facts that
Roosevelt will have to answer tomor
row* when, accompanied by a band at
the head of a. parade of district bull
moose men, he will go from the railroad
station to the senate office building: to
testify to his knowledge of the "slush
funds'' of li<o4 and 1902.
"IT'S VERY BAD LAW,"
SAYS CHIEF JUSTICE
Supreme Court Holds That Election Statute
Is Vicious and Validates Fraud
gressive party stood for the destruction
of the representative form of govern
ment and the substitution of a pure
democracy.
The chief justice denounced the law
under color of which the progressive
party administration has stolen the
name of the republican party aa unjus
tifiable. He said that under that law
men who were bound in honor to act
for the republican party might act
in the name of the republican party
contrary to their oaths without fear of
the intervention of the courts.
LAW JUSTIFIES PERJTDKY
Speaking of the nominee to the legis
lature who swore that he was a repub
lican and would support a majority of
the republican candidates, in order to
get a place on the republican ballot,
Chief Justice Beatty said:
He may be bound In honor; bnt
he does not cease to be a member
of a party for the purposes of the
election law of thla state until he
has changed his declaration and
limitation.
Attorney General Webb, arguing his
demurrer, contended that the identity
of a republican and the character of the
convention held in Sacramento by the
progressive party majority was a ques
tion to be determined by the republican
voters and not by the court.
He Insisted that the secretary of
state, in certifying the nomination of
candidates for electors, was acting a:
an agent of the federal government and
that his acts were beyond question by
the state supreme court. He said that
the federal constitution was superior
to the state organic law and that, if It
chose, the legislature might appoint
electors without reference to the people.
He said that if the method of selecting
elector candidates prescribed by the
legislature had been followed, no com
plaint could be heard. '
COURT BOUND TO DEFINE
John B. Clayburg, fo.-mer attorney
general of Montana, contended for the
republicans that the court was bound
to dePne what was a political party
and that it was bound by its former
decisions to hold that a political party
was an association of electors who
agree upon certain policies and who
have the right to exclude those not In
accord with those principles.
He said that the legislative nominees
who got their places on the republican
primary ballot by swearing that they
were republicans <md intended to sup
port a majority «f the republican can
didates forfeited their right to repre
sent the republican party when they
formally espoused the principles and
candidates of another political party.
PROGRESSIVE PARTY DISTINCT
David S. Rose asked th<? court to take
judicial notice of the several political
parties, and his request Chief
Justice Beatty to observe that the na
tional progressive party was not only a
distinct and different party, but that it
proposed to change the form of govern
ment. He said:
It ha* declared Itself to be n new
party on one of the moat funda
mental principles of government.
It Tvoul.l convert thfa country Into a
pure democracy, instead of a rep
resentative form of government.
That !• n hat tt propose* to do. '
Tlcse insisted that when the progress
jive party men took the candidates' oaths
las republicans they and the people of
(California had onty one republican party
lin mind—the republican party that had
I nominated President Taft to succeed
j himself, and had adopted a platform
consonant with the time honored poli
cies of the republican party.
COIRT POWERLESS i:\DBR LAW
The members of the court freely con
reded this contention, but held that they
were powerless to prevent men from
false swearing with regard to a politi
cal question, or to avenge the repub
licans who had been betrayed. Chief
Justi'-e Beatty said:
When a political party meet* In
convention It may do an It pleane*.
The honor of itm members in not a
question for judicial inquiry.
Chief Justice Beatty and Associate
Justices Melvin. L.origan, Angellotti
and Shaw heard the arguments and
joined in the denial of the petition
without leaving the bench. Justices
1915 BOARD SULES
BUYERS OF STOCK
The Panama-Pacific Exposition com
pany will tolerate no failure to pay for
stock subscribed, where it Is evident
that the subscriber is able tg pay, but
is wilfully disinclined. The , ** directors
of the 1915 exposition do not feel that
they are keeping faith with San Fran
cisco and the people of tfte etate if
they allow any one to escape who can
live up to his obligation.
This is the declaration of Attorney
Frank S. Brittain in speaking of suits
filed by him on behalf of the exposition
yesterday against Kirk Harris and
Hunt, Hatch & Co. to enforce payment
for stock which they had agreed in
writing to take.
Each defendant is sued for $450 and
interest. One complaint alleges Har
ris agreed in writing on May 5, 1910,
to buy 100 shares of the exposition '
stock at $10 a share, payable in quar
terly installments through a
period. The defendant failed to pay i
for any portion and judgment is asked
for the amount of subscription to date.,
The complaint against Hunt, Hatch
& Co. alleges the firm entered 4n a Smi- i
iar agreement April 28, 1910. These
are the first suits of the kind filed by
the exposition company.
"We have had troubles in making:
collections through financial inability
of many" to pay, and we have had some
bankruptcy cases. They are unavoid
able," said Brittain. "The board of
directors has, however, directed that
in all cases where payment is evi
dently possible, but the subscriber is
disinclined, to prosecute the case*. The
company feels it has no right to let
cases of this kind slide."
FIVE TEETH ARE MUTE
EVIDENCE OF ASSAULT
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
STOCKTON, Oct. 6.—Corneliue Oroot,
a wealthy farmer near this city, ap
peared in court this morning as the
complaining witness against E. G.
Smith, charged with battery. When
Judge Yon Detten asked Groot whether
he could show where aiiy violence upon
his person had been committted, Groot
pulled out a small tin box and showed
five teeth, as he said:
"Here are five teeth he knocked out.
and I would have had two more, but I
swallowed them. He hit me without
any reason after saying that farmers
should stay where they belong. I nerer
saw him before."
Smith was sentenced to serv* alx
months in jartl.
THF BAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1912.
Continued from Page 1
Sloss and Henshaw were absent from
the Ftate.
The court rendered no formal
opinion. Before announcing the unani
mous decision of the court the chief
justice expressed the sentiments of
himself and his associates- in vigorous
terms. He denounced the law as un
justifiable and as a measure that dis
franchised at least one third of the
people of the state, republicans and
democrats.
LAW VIGOROUSLY DENOUNCED
The chief justice said: «
If a political party meets in a
convention regularly chosen and
acts according to its notions of
political expediency, good faith and
honesty, the courts can not inquire
into it. That is decided in the
Hutchinson case. They answer the
test. They have registered as re
publican?-. They could have re
nounced their affiliations to the re
publican party and made them
selves members of another party:
or there could have been another
party under that other name, but
they did not do that. They »e
--raained according to the test pre
scribed as members of the republi
can party. They elected their dele
gales to the convention, and the
convention was regularly held, and
it acted according to its notions of
political expediency and good faith.
And the courts can not inquire into
it: we can not decide political ques
tions. We can decide only what is
legal under the state law.
VOTERS ARE DISFRANCHISED
I have not a very good opinion of
■this law. I think i.t ie a very bad
law and will practically disfran
chise one-third of the voters of the
It disfranchises absolutely
all of the voters of the state as to
one-third of their proper represen
tation in the state convention. The
holdover senators were never
elected to perform any such duty.
They were never given that au
thority except by themselves, and
as to the others there were 14, 1
• believe, holdover republicans in 14
senatorial districts in this state.
The democrats were absolutely dis
franchised as to the selection of
one-third of their proper represen
tation in the state convention, and
in six of the senatorial districts the
republicans were disfranchised —
they could only elect two-thirds of
the representation properly appor
tioned to their districts.
LAW XOT JUSTIFIABLE
The law might have answered
very well under ordinary circum
stances, but in a condition like this
it does not and it is not justifiable
In my opinion, but it is the law. T
think anybody that considers the
way in which this law operates can
see that it does operate to practi
cally disfranchise the voters in the
whole state as to one-third of the
representation, and as to that one
third of that representation in the
state conventions it might very
easily change the nomination of
ejectors. If they had had such a
law at the time Bucknor and Bryan
were rival democratic candidates
'or the presidency it might very
well have resulted in the nomina
tion of presidential electors who
would have voted, for Buckner. The
law ought not to have been passed,
in r.iy opinion; but being passed we
are bound by it as long an it in
conceded to be constitutional. I
believe the court is entirely agreed
to deny the petitions.
C OXSTITITIO.X MAY BE INVOKED
The constitutionality of the amended
primary law regains to be determined.
Tt was not raised by the republicans
because they had no desire to produce a
situation that might result ia the com
plete disfranchisement of the members
of the democratic and socialist parties.
That the question may he raised before
the election is a possibility, and that
it will he raised after the election seems
a certainty. If the law were declared
unconstitutional after the election the
republicans robbed this year of their
right of franchise would be the only
sufferers from the job perpetrated in
the name of reform and progress, and
the legislature which meets next Janu
ary could attempt to replace the tailor
ing done by the agents of the reform
ers.
Meanwhile, thf> republicans of Cali
fornia who refuse to be coerced into
voting for the candidates who robbed
them, are reduced to the alternative of
losing their right to vote at all or vot
ing the democratic ticket as a rebuke
to the interests that have reduced them
to the political level of alien born
Chinese.

SLAYER SAYS
HE FIRED IN
SELF-DEFENSE
Almon Holloway Says
tacked Him With Krffe \
Before He Shot
Continued From Page 1
another message came from Hollowaf*
telling; of the shooting. Before leaving
for the county jail this afteVnoonf Hot
loway gave the following explanation
of the shooting:
I was in the kitchen with my
wife while she was preparing our
lunch. I asked her why she
didn't go and have the interlock
tory decree set aside and she
turned upon me with a carving
knife, saying, "I'll show you why I
don't do it." She slashed at me
with the knife and I was running
away when I slipped on the pantry
floor. She came at me with the
knife and to save my life I pulled
. my gun and shot directly at her.
I would rather die than do it again.
Slayer's Coat Shows Cuts
"When Holloway surrendered to the
police there were several longr silts in
the front and back of his coat. He
claimed that they were Inflicted by
the knife in the hands of his wife. Not
a scratch was on his body, however.
When asked how it happened that he
was carrying: a revolver, Holloway
said he had been shooting gophers in
the garden.
The police are attempting to ascer
tain the exact interval between the
time the screams of the woman were
first heard and when tlie shots were
fired. Both neighbors a*id police be
lieve that the screams of Mrs. Hollo
way Indicate that she was startled
suddenly by the appearance of her hus
band with the revolver in his hand.
Holloway has been a resident of
Palo Alto for many years. He worked
as a carpenter until Saturday night,
when he told his employer that he
was sick and would not be back for a
few days. He was a member of the
Palo Alto Rifle club, and his comrades
and fellow workers say that he was
subject to fits of terrfble passion.
Victim Twice Married
Mrs. Holloway was a handsome
woman, 36 years old. She was married
to Harry Anderton, who died about 10
years ago, leaving her a little daugh
ter. Seven years ago she married
Holloway and on account of his objec
tions the daughter was placed in the
care of Mayfleld relatives. The dead
woman is a daughter of Mrs. Anna N.
Ponnpy of Mayfield. She had a sister,
Mrs. Lillian Schaefer, and a brother,
Walter Palaxnountain, living in the
same place.
Mrs. Fchaefer came to Palo Alto this
afternoon with Constable J. K. Allbee
and after a long search located the
little son of her sistfr, who escaped
from the house after the shooting and
sought refuge with friends. Mrs.
Schaefer took the Httle boy to her
home in Mayfield.
Mrs. Schaefer eald she was talking
to her sister over the telephone an
hour beforp the shooting and that the
lattpr was in good spirits at the time.
The body of -Mrs. Holloway was
taken to Tinney"*-undertaking parlors.
Coroner Kell arrived from San Jose at
2:30 o'clock ami - took charge of 4he

by Dr. Carl Wilson and the inquest
will be held tomorrow.
MANY THREATS
TO KILL MADE
[Special Dispatch Iβ The Call]
SAN JOSE, Oct. 3.—That Almon Hol
loway. who killed his wife in Palo
Alto today, often threatened to kill his
wife. Is one of the allegations in the
unhappy story of their wedded life filed
away in the office of the county clerk
here.
The couple were married in Palo
Alto November 14. 1904. and Mrs. Hol
loway left her home October 4, 1910,
fearing that her husband would carry
out his threats against her life.
The divoc.ee complaint was filed
shortly afterward and heard in De
cember of the same year. She charged
her husband with the cruelest kind of
treatment, such as striking her with
his clenched fist and uttering threats
to kill her whole family.
In his cross complaint Halloway ac
cused his wife of being unduly suspi
cious of him. Whenever he attended a
meeting of the Carpenters' union, he
alleged, she believed that he had been
out to see another woman. Upon one
occasion he spent half the night in
decorating a Christmas tree for their
children. When he woke up the next
morning he found It stripped of Its
presents. His attorney also introduced
affidavits by Marshall Black and E. D.
Meaner as to his good character and
integrity.
The court upheld the wife's story in
its findings and gave her an interlocu
tory decree, the custody of the chil
dren and the Palo Alto community
property. - . .'_
