THE SUN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1912. SAY T. R. PLANNED HIS RACE IN 1911 Clapp Witnesses Tell Overtures to Penrose Last Jnnunry. of RYAN'S MG 11)04 GIFT Declares He Put 8450,000 Into Parker Fight to Save Party. PERKINS STARTS FUSS Argues With and Chides Committee and Lectures Questioners. 9122.000 HIS 1012 MITE Roosevelt Hacker's Contribution Makes Third Tarty Fund, Now Known, $835,000. Washington-, Oct. 21. These wrre the principal disclosures nt to-dny'a tits lon of the Clapji Investigating com mittee: Thomns K. Ryan contributed $450,000 to .TudRo Parker's 1904 campaign, put tine up $350,000 when he knew Parker was beaten and merely for the purpose of holding the Democratic organization Intact. Qeorse W. Perkins contributed $122.- ouo to Col. Itoosevelt s 1012 preconven lion campaign, swelling the total of that fund as disclosed before the committee to JS33.000. Col. Roosevelt was planning to cap. turo the Republican Presidential nom ination weeks before he responded to the spontaneous call presented by the seven Governors' Senator Penrose, who lias been held up by Col. Roosevelt as a horrible ex ample of a party boss, was Invited by one of the leading Roosevelt managers to cast his lot with the Colonel, and when ho refused war was declared on him by the Roosevelt forces In Penn sylvania. Mr. ltjan's testimony flabbergasted the Democrats and It 1s likely that very little will bo heard from them In the re mainder of the campaign regarding the corporation contributions to the Roose velt 1904 fund. A good many Demo crats have been scratching their heads and wondering what Judge. Parker would have to say. The Roosevelt supporters were consid erably embarrassed over the sworn tes timony that an effort had been made to cnllat the services In the Roosevelt cause of n man whom the Colonel has been holding up as an undesirable poli tician, one or tho perpetrators of the Chicago "theft" and a Senator who ought to be hurled from the Senate. John II. Nugent of Philadelphia, an undertaker and a local politician, and noDert Malght, a Philadelphia publisher, were tne witnesses who testified In re tard to the effort to entice Penrose Into the Roosevelt ranks. Plan ncil Capture In UMI. Nugent testified that Col. Roosevelt wa planning to capture the nomination as early ax December, 1911. The Infer ence was that this Information had come into his possession through correspond ence! with Col. Roosevelt. On Jnnuary 22 Nugent visited the Colonel on the lat ter'n Invitation nnd had a long talk with him In regard to the movement In Pennsylvania. This was some time before the" seven Governors had delivered their call to Mr. Roosevelt. The witness said that the Colonel referred him to William L. Ward of Westchester as the man who 'was handling tho finances of the "cam paign." Nugent and Halght called on Mr. Ward und they say that Ward agreed to furnish them tlG.000 to enable them to undertake an immediate cam paign for Roosevelt In Philadelphia. The 115,000 never came. Instead Ward got In touch with Will iam Fllnn of Pittsburg and Editor Van Valkenburs of the A'orth American nnd Nugent and Ilalght were pushed aside. Nugent testified that In his talk with Ward the latter told him that Penrose, had had an opportunity to support Roosevelt. "Penrose," said the witness, "was asked In January to give his support to Roosevelt. He wan given ten days In which to mako a reply. Thereupon he notified Ward that he had decided to stand by Taft nnd the organliation. Ward said that on receiving this word from Penrosn It had been decided to 'go after' Penrose. Mr. Ilalght. who followed Nugent ns a wltners, corroborated his testimony In detail. George V. Perkins made the most unfavorable Impression of any witness that has appeared before thn committee, not even .senator Dixon, the Roosevelt manager, excepted. He scemej to re gard his appearance as a Joke, and ap parently was perfectly willing to have hs Answera accepted as Impudent. He accused one of tho Senators of asking fiuestlons for the purpose of getting his name In the headlines of tho paper, talked about "hot air" and "blondes and brunettes." answered one question with .in "Amen," Joined In voting with the committer.

Ahked nbout the pro-con vent ton rnm pnigas of this year Mr. Kyan ndmitted that he had contributed between 175,000 and tHt.oiH to Mr. Harmon's campaign nnd more tliuii KO.nuo to ltepreHeuliiti Un derwood'a. It Is a matter of record from statement tllod by the managers for Gov. Harmon and Congressman Underwood that Mr. Ryan gave 77.oiio to tho Harmon fund and IM.Ooo to the Underwood fund. He testified that the friends of each of these candidate solicited him for contribu tions nnd he was glnd to assist'them. "I waa not asked to contribute to the pre-convention cnmitnlgn of either Speaker Clark or Gov. Wilson," said the wltnei. "If I had been nsked to do bo, 1 would have contributed." Mr. Hyan then entered Into an explana tion of Ills relations tothe (ire-content Ion camfxiign of 1912 and explained his in termt in It . "When I icturned from Kurojv in toil I decided that the prospects for IJeniotrntic success were tnvorauie ir any democrat other than Mr. Brj'an were nominated I felt that any good DMtnocrnt exc'pt Mr. Bryan could be elected, and while I luul no candidate I was willing to nid tn tho nomination of any other man than llrvun. He had led tho party to defeat In three campaigns nnd he nppoared to me to Ixi the only cloud on the horizon. "I had known Gov Harmon of Ohio for twenty-five yeiirs. I thought he would make n good President just as ho had made a good Oovernor for Ohio, and when Ills malingers enme to me I gave them money at various timea up to the amount I have indicated. Later on when my friend Senator Itankliead. who was managing Congressman Underwood's campaigr), came to mo witli nn argument in favor of nominating a Southern man it appealed to me very strongly I had always wanted to see a Southern man elected President by the Democrats I gave them in all more than MO.otki." Mr. Perkins was the second witness of the morning session. He came to tho committer room nccotnivtnled by Mrs. Perkins, Miss Perkins and several friends. The witness had proceeded for almost an hour beforo his testimony occasioned any excitement. In his own way he told a story of his connection with the cam- pa igiis ol 1804 and 1D0N. I'erklna Knvornl Puhllflty. Considerable material submitted hr Mr. Perkins was made up of letters felici tating him on his work in tho campaign of 1004 and 1908 and documents showing that he had urged publicity of contribu tions. The committee showed some im patience in having all these things put into the record, but thu witness was insistent. He said that Chairman Hitchcock after the election took him to see President-elect Taft at tho homo of Henrv W. Taft in New York and there told" the President-elect of the excellent work done by Mr. Perkins in the campaign and that Mr. Taft thanked him person ally. Perkins testified that he was' ap pointed on the finance committee by Milton E. Ailes of Washington, chairman of tho Inaugural committee. ' and that he contributed $1,000 to pay the vxpeWs of President Tnft's inauguration In stating his total contributions to the preconvention campaign for Col. Roosevelt Mr. Perkins indicated tho followinp amounts for the objects stated: New ork State committee,. SlS.furi; to E. H. Hooker, treasurer of tho national fund. 22,000; to Senator Joseph M. Dixon for tho Washington headquarters. $32,foo; for polls and other necessary election work in New York and lirooklyn, J15JW; to E. M. Sims or Chicago, S17,00. The committee quizzed tho witness as to whether or not there had been any agreement between himseir. Prank A. Munsey nnd Daniel R. Hanna by which tho three were to eouallv share tho burden of the campaign. Perkins replied Uiat he had frequently conferred with Munsey hut had seen Hamin but twice. U'hll,, he knew that Hanna had given tVj.wM iu iwt national campaign no was not aware that he had given more than that until after ho read Hanna a testimony in u newspaper. jusi.oerore the noon recess there was n flurry. Mr. Perkins mmnlaineil i,r Hie way the investigation was being con ducted and twice rose and addressed tho committee in nn animated manner. He waa reproved bv Senator Oliver, who l.. clared that he did not intend to Ik lec tured Dy witnesses. Senator Uapp mildly reproved Mr. Perkins and Senators I',,m... rene and Paynter manifested disapproval in their muttered sentences. Mr. Per kins showed his anger first in his refer ences to the Lite John A. McCall, presi dent of the New York Ufo Insurance Com pany. He paid tho former president of the New York Mfo a high compliment far having contributed to defeat fzeo silver. nnyn Mrnmitluii Killed .Mi-dill. He would have lxvn tint run In hi trust, we.ik nnd cowardly had ho taken uny other course, I ho unscrupulous. dastardly attacks on air.

Ho far iih I In jiolioyholder ever 'couiilaiuod of that contribution, but I received thousands of letters ancr ine testimony given Ijeforo tho insurance investigation thanking us for what had lieen done," Hut it waa when ho wus quest inued in regard to tho charge that the ciimiuign for Cel. Roosevelt hadtjoen undorwiittcn in tlio sum of M.ooo.ooo that the witnoss really became oxciled, Hi.sing from his chair und gestloulnting, li shouted; "In the long list of unmltignled lies put out in this campaign that one probably deserves to be placed at the head U-caiiso it is the largost. I Itad hoped thai Sena lor Penroso would I hero this morning, He made that sUileiiiout on the floor of the Honute nnd he ought lo be required to prove it or liko u gentleman retract . There is not n scintilla of truth in it from A to Z." The witness was interrupted in his ex clamatory sjieedi by tho chairman, Sena tor Clapp. "Just a minute." yelled Senator I'lapp. "All that you uro required to do is lo deny and the committee tvin act on your do. nial." This did not satisfy thu witness, who demanded to know whether Penroso Vnn to Ijo called, . "I want to know whom I slnnd, I havo been taught lo havo is)oct for the United States Sen-He.

Senator Clapp again reminded the witness that tho committee had no Juris diction over such matters and that the witness was present to speak for himself. Perkhw then dotnnnded to know If tho committee intended to require Penrose and Hilles to prove their charges. Senator Oliver made a protest. Ho said that that was n matter that the committee would determine for itself und that ho was tired of being lectured ' witnesses. t Perkins declared that It would be' very easy to prove the matter of Harxpster trust contributions. Ho called atten tion to the fact that Cyrus H. McCor mlok had publicly denied that any con tribution had been made by tho Harvester coinpanv as a corporation and suggested tho books wero open to provo there had been none. Ho said tho same was true of the steel trust. In the courso of lil testimony Mr. Perkins froqtiently referred to tho testi mony given by 1 nomas V. Hyan to the effect that ho had contributed nearly half a million dollars to the campaign of Judge Parker in 1001. The members of tho committee plainly resented this and once or twice "his reference to Mr. Hyan led to a sharp conflict liotween him and Senator Pomerene. "I feel so insignificant on tho subject of contributions after hearing Mr Ryan's testimony." said Mr, Perkins, "that I tdo not feel that I cun givo tho committee mucii oi value. At another time the witness roso from his chnir nnd demnnded to know why Senator Pomerene had not questioned Thomas F. Itynn about tho details of, his contribution. Mr. Pomerene wis' quizzing Perkins at the time. In Tilt With I'.i me rene. "1 am not here to bu lectured by you," snapped me renntor, "1 know what vnll nre. hprn fnr ami you know what I'm here for," sharply rctuneu I'erKius. "You are not going to get nwav with it." lie shouted. "This is the most partial and unfair thing this committee hns done, and it has done many unfair things in tne course or mis investigation. You did not ask Mr. Jtvan to explain his con tribution of $150,000 in detail. Why dldn' you sk him?" In the correspondence submitted by Mr. Perkins were two letters from Cor nelius N. Itliss which tended to show flint fio.nnn had been given to Perkins by Hliss to be sent to Senator Beverldge in tne campaign oi ioi, rermns ex plained that' Beverldge returned the chock and said that he waa carrying the expenses of his campaign out of tils own tiinds. "I nearly fell dead when I got th cheek back," said Perkins. "Ho is tjm only man in my experience in politics who ever returned a dollar." Senator Pomerene had evidently been supplied with some information from Indiana concerning Mr. Perkins's lltmnclnl aid to Senator Heveridge in tho cam paign of He asked him ir he had made any other offers of financial assist ance to Mr. Heveridge. The witness did not remember anything, "Is it not true that approximately $100,000 was sent to Senator Beverldge in 1004 to nid him in his campaign?" asked Mr. Pomerene, "How do I know? I was not on either tho State or national committee," snapped Perkins, "Isn't it true that $.V),000 was sent by you to Senntor Beverldge, who returned l.-J.HII oi it.' "I don't know what you nre talking about or anything approximating it, replied the witness. "Did you ever have any conference with Beveridge?" "I havo known Albert Beveridgo hince wo were loys nnd I have conferred with nim on every, conceivable subject, but I have told you that I remember noth ing of any money that was went to him except the JM.nno which he returned," "Do you consider tho International Harvester Company a legal combina tion?" Perkins was asked, CiiiiKliIrm llarvpstrr Co, Moral. "Not only legnl but moral br well," ho replied, "and in tho interest of tho producer and the consumer," "And you think the same of the steel trust?" "Amen," was the reply Asked if ho had threatened Herbert Knox Smith, Commissioner of Corpora tions, with the wrath of the "Morgan interests" unless he ceased lo purwie the International Harvester Comiwmy, the witness replied: "I may havo done it It was just lilts me Any other man with red blood would have done it. " At ono iKtint in the quontionlng Perkins accused Senator Pomerene of trying "to get into tho headlines of the morning newspuTS " This caused a mild sensation In the committee. Senator Paynter moved to strike it out of the record. The members of tho committee voted "Ayo, ". When noes wero called for the witness voted "No" and then laughed. "Now, that is another impertinence shown to this committee," said Senator Oliver "I know thai It is and I withdraw it; I apologize lo the committee," said the witness "Wh it cirn you do with n Bull Moose anyhow?" inquired the witness. Perkins denied that when he threatened Herbert Knox Smith with I he wrath ,r the "Morgan interests" he meant any (o1itIrs.il reprisal. He said that whatever he umy lino Riiid nt that tlmo had refer ence to the fight in tho courts. He rohunU'd sharply the suggestion from one of the members of tho committee that ln was supiHirtiug Hoonevelt IsioaUHe the suit was not brought When asked whether if the suit had Is'en brought he would have now beon stipiiortiiig Boose olt or not , he replied: "Now, there you go again, Senator. How can 1 tell what I would have done? J do not bellevo that I would let one little Incident swerve me from the genera I pro graium'i that includes so much of good for the country."

RESCUED IN ROUGH SEA FJame Still Itaglng in Vessel Ship Now Seems to Ho Doomed. NoRl'OLK, Vtt Oct. 21. With het crew and passenger safely-on board the rev- enuo cutter Seminole the fate of the Mer chants and Miners steamer Berkshire, which has been at anchor In Lookout Covo since Sunday with a fire In hor hold, seems sealed to-night. Tho llro gained cenewed headway to day and just when, tho crow of tho veeel and the life savers from Cape Lookout station, who have been fighting tho flames since Sunday, thought they had It under control, there was an explosion that shook tho big ship from stem; to stem, bringing the twenty-one passengers who had remained on board hurrying from tho saloon, badly frightened. Then tho officers decided It was time to leave the burning ship. Tho rovenuo outter Som (nolo was within a hundred yards of the Berkshire when tho explosion occurred and she signalled that lifeboats would be sent to take off those on board. The rescue was effeoted under tho most unfavorable weatker conditions. A high northeast storm has lpen sweeping the const since Sunday and to-day a blinding rain added to tho misery of those on board the Berkshire. The ship appeared to list slightly and me crew and lire savers could hardly i-aiiu uu uieir icei.

Several had burned arms'and hands, and their blackened fce ami bloodshot eyes told of tho strain under which they had labored since Sunday I1IUI lllllff While the rescuo was being made, tho Seminole kept five streams pouring tons of water into the hold of the burning ship to prevent another explosion. No ofllcial explanation ot tne explosion could be ob tained from officials of the steamship company here. It is said, however, that the Berkshire carries a quantity of tur pentine, and the explosion might have been caused by bursting barrels, which became ignited When tho flames reached tho section of tho ship whero they were stored. i , ., When those on the Berkshire had len safely landed on board the" Seminole the injured members of the crew were given medical attention.
