conference at the Auditorium.

NIEW YORK. Sept. 20.—The World !
says:
Early iu the 1904 rampulgn. the I
Standard Oil Cos., as well as other
trusts, railroads, banks and larye cor
porations, received a request to con ,
tribute to tbe Republican national
campaign fund. This request was ig
nored, Henry H. Rogers being respon
sible for its refusal.
loiter, when the second call for cam
paign funds was made, Mr. Cortelyou,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, sent word to Mr. Rogers
asking for an appointment at whicn
the existing conditions could be ex
plained and the financial support of
Standard Oil secured, ibis appoint
ment was made by Mr. Regers to be
kept at 26 Broadway, the Standard '
Oil building, and Mr. Cortelyou was!
Informed that both Mr. Rogers and
John D, Archbold would be pleased to
see him. Mr. Cortelyou finding that
Mr. Rogers was not to meet him alone,
but that Mr. Archbold was also to be
present, concluded it would be safer
and more discreet not to go himself.
The appointment was kept by Cornel
hit N. Bliss, treasurer of the national
committee.
Bliaa Promised Conservatism.
▲t this interview Mr. Rogers accus
ed Mr. Roosevelt of Ingratitude and re
called many past favors from tht>
Standard Oil Cos. to Republican candi
dates and campaign funds. Mr. Bliss i
admitted that President Roosevelt ;
might have acted harshly toward the
Standard Oil, but said that while Mr.
Roosevelt's first term war “construc
tive” his second term would be "con
servative.”
Relying on these assurances Mr.
Rogers and Mr. Archlboid made a con
tribution of SIOO,OOO.
This contribution coming to the
knowledge of President Roosevelt, he
wrote ,to Chairman Cortelyou a vlo
lent letter, denouncing tbe Standard
Oil Cos., and directing the return of the
contribution. This letter Is on Mr.
Oortelyou’s file, and a copy of It is
kept by President Roosevelt for the
purpose of making it public If ever
the facts of this Standard OH contri
bution became known.
The contribution was not returned.
Not one cent wae paid back. The
same wae used, eo far ae Mr. Rogers
and Mr. Archbold know, In like man
ner with other contributions.

FRANK WILKINSON,
DETECTIVE, SHOT
BY EX-CONVICT
FRANK LESKE, WHILE BEING AR
RESTED, FIRES BULLET INTO
OFFICER'S HEAD AND ESCAPES
—MAN WILL RECOVER.
Detective Frank Wilkinson, of the
central bureau, was Bhot and seriously
wounded by Frank Leske, also known
us Liska, an ex-convict, whom the of
ficer had JiiHt placed under arrest,
shortly before noon, Saturday. The
shooting occurred on Fourteenth-ave.,
between Magnolia and Linden-sts.
Leska escaped and Is now sought
by the entire police force of the city.
As he is still armed, It Is feared
may again attempt to use nis revolver
if cornered, for he is known as a des
perate character. Detective Wilkin
son Is in St. Mary’s hospital. While
the wound is of u dangerous nature,
his recovery Is looked for.
Wilkinson lost none of his game
ness, for which he Is note 1, after the
shooting. His first concern was lor
the apprehension of Leske, not so
much because of the shooting, but be
cause the man had escaped from him.
His first words-to u police office: wno
rushed to hla side ware:
“Get the boys out after Leßke.”
When Police Commissioner Smith
called to see him in the hospital, Wil
kinson apologized for not getting bis
man
“1 did the beat I could, commission
er,’’ he said.
Wilkinson did not lose conscious-j
ness after the shooting and was able
to talk connectedly of the affair, even
after he had been placed on the op
erating table.
Telia Story of Shooting.
"f on mv way home to dinner
in a Fourteenth car,” said he. “On
Fourteenth-acre., near MagaoUa su.. I
saw Leake and concluded he was up
to some mischief, so I Jumped off the
car to pick him up. As soon as he
caught sight of me he started to run.
I caught him between two houses. He
put out his hand and pretended to be
very friendly until he saw 1 meant i
business. 1 went through his pockets ,
and took out a pair of nippers and sev- i
aral false keys, used In picking locks,
and was just going to snap the hand-1
cuffs on him when he Jerked his band
away. Uke a flash he pulled out a ,
gun, put It right up to my nose and let i
me have It. I droped In my tracks
and Leoke beat it.
“I suppose I made u mistake In tak !
Ing chances with Leske, for I knew :
what kind of a fellow he was. 1 should
have searched him for a gun first, but,
of course, 1 wasn’t figuring on his
trying to shoot. I'll know better the
next time."
The bullet entered Wilkinson’s left
cheek, took away a part of the upper
Jaw and a couple of teeth with It.
paased through the bard palate and •
lodged In the neck. Dr. H. H. Cook, j
with the aid of an X-ray machine, 10-;
rated it just at tbe base of the skull,
and It was removed by Dr. F. B. Walk
er, assisted by House Physician Ole
met.
Wilkinson's first thought after urging i
the capture of the fugitive, was for his !
wife and at his request she was sent
for. She arrived at the hospital with
in a few minutes after the ambulance,
accompanied by her son, William, aged I
15. She collapsed almost Immediately,
but was able to go to her husband’s
side a few minutes later.
Leske has a bad police record, and
is known to have little use for police
men or detectives. He once threat
ened to shoot Detective Bob Palmer,
It Is said. ** '
I.eske was released from Marquette
prison about three years ago after
serving a 15-year term for burglary.
The police have kept close tab on him.
He was picked up on suspicion by
Wilkinson and his partner, James Cot
ter. only a few weeks ago. but was re
leased because there was no case
against him. Leske Is said to be a
pal of August Oblaser, another well
known crook, whom Justice Jeffries
sent to the house of correction for 90
days a few months ago alter he had
been caught In rhe act of breaking into
a house.
Leske is 38 years old. five feet.!
seven inches tall, smooth shaven, with j
brown hair and blue eves, and weighs j
about HO pounds. It Is thought he'

as he was placed on the stretcher. !
Wilkinson sent for Fr. Philip Dunn,
a Jesuit priest. on reaching the bos- i
pital, and the latter came at once.
Wilkinson has quite a reputation
for “lamping’’ crooks from descrip-a

George T. Gaston wins the Republl-]

of the primary returns, but Parker;
will ask a recount.
Gaaton'a lea l la so close that a
change of one vote In each of the 190
precincts would put Parktr ahead.
Charges of Irregularities m the count
are likely to be made.
The fact that, in most cases, two
sets of clerks on the aame precinct,
is llnely to lead to discoveries of er
-10 rs.
After tho close of the vote-counting, |
at 5 o’clock Saturday morning, Qas- 1
ton’s representatives claimed the nora-,
(nation for him by 400 votes, but this j
dwindled as the returns were checked ;
up.
The nomination, It now develops,
depended upon Gaston’s big vote in
the 35 districts outside the city, which
Parker was expected vo carry, but
which he lost by several hundred.
There waa uncertainty about the ?
shrievalty nomination until tbe laat
box was counted.
While Gaston started with a big
lead, this was cut Into deeply as the
count progressed, and by Friday night,
Parker had assumed the lead and
kept nis advantage through most of
the night. The last results from the
