EXPENSES HERE Transferlng me scene of the Investigation of campaign contri butions in the 1904 Presidential election to Tacoma this morning the key was discovered that prom ises to unlock the mystery and make an open book of the whole controversy as to who gave the money and why. Acting on a telegram from Sen ator Platt, Senator Wesley Jones held an investigation in federal court room at 10 o'clock today and examined Elmer Dover, Pa cific Coast representative of the Byylsby company, the largest pub lic service gas company in the country. Mr. Dover was secre tary to Mark Hanna for years and later secretary of the national re publican committee for about ID years. He resigned from the sec retaryship of the advisory com mittee two years ago to devote nig time to the gas business. "Did you solicit or secure any contributions to the campaign fund, of 1904?" asked Senator Jones. "The only large one I person ally secured was $15,000 given by the family of Senator Hanna," said Dover. He declared as secretary it was not his duty to secure contribu tions. But he had secured a few. The Hanna amount was the only large one. Asked if he had any record of the contributions that years, he said: "Mr. Cornelius Bliss, treasurer, gave to me records and we made copies and I think the list of con tributions is in this list. I would not be sure all are on it, but I think at least some of them are. The lists are in a lnrge box I have stored m Chicago, which contains all the records I kept." Senator Jones wanted to know if the records could be secured and Dover said he was willing to turn them over to the committee and if it wishes Dover will make a trip to Chicago, unlock the box and bring the missing documents to the light of day. Dover Bald he knew nothing of the Harrlman contribution, the Standard Oil, Steel trust, Harves ter trust or other large contribu tions, ac It was not part of his dules to look after them.

It was a fear that he might harm some Innocent person that sent him to. the police headquar ters. He was afraid of himself, not for himsalf, but for the com munity. Paul Duroy made a sacrifice, for it is a noble thing to walk into a jail cell, knowing an insane asylum ward may be the next step lest in a moment of wltlessness a crime may be committed. They took Paul Duroy to the county Jail. They laughed at the idea of a weakling German stu dent suddenly being transformed Into a beast man. It was ridic j UIOUS. But Paul Duroy knew. He li*ew his brain had lost its grip on his muscles. He had felt the snapping of the delicate nerve threads and realized what it meant. Last night Paul DuToy's fear might have become a reality. "Kill," hie broken mind told him. But he was in a cell in the county jail. There was no one to kill but himself, and, with tho blood lust strong, he rushed at the Iron bar, his head down, crashing his poor ekull against the hard wall. He tore his hair and uttered fiendish screams as he fought against himself In his cell. Again and again he rushed at the steel bound cage, until in bis fellow prisoners in nearby cells were awakened and called the jailer. Three men with difficulty car ried Paul Duroy to another cell; a place where maniacs are kept. It walls, floor and ceiling are up holstered by heavy mats and Duroy could bring no harm upon himself here. At last he became quiet. This morning he was ra tional.
