GO! $35,000
"NEW YORK; Sept. 12. At least
$67,000 was received since early
spring- by David Harvey,, promoter of
the Pershing victory reception, which
was canceled after his arrest last
Monday. This is one of the interest
ing: developments in District Attor
ney Swann's investigation into his
activities.
- Of this amount, $35,000 was ad
vanced by Mrs. Henry F. Dimock for
expenses in connection with the
George Washington Memorial Asso
ciation, and $32,000 was obtained from
the Armenian relief committee for ex
ploiting a motion picture.
Mrs. Dimock, of Washington. D. C
visited the district attorney's office
and went Into details of her transac
tion with Harvey. Information as to
the Armenian relief committee was
supplied by. Henry L. Rupert, a law
yer, of I Madison avenue. The In
quiry was conducted by Mr. Swann

It was announced that the district
attorney's office had learned that fif
teen bad checks had been issued by
Harvey in the last few months.
Tells of Giving Money.
Mrs. Dimock spent more than an
hour at the district attorney's office.
She was accompanied by her lawyer,
Francis M. Scott. After the hearing
Mr. Swann said:
"Mrs. Dimock told us that she
had turned over to Harvey $35,000
of her own money to start the cam
paign for the 110,000,000 to bifild
the George Washington Memorial In
Washington. This was after she had
given Harvey a contract whereby he
was to receive 5 per cent of all the
money raised by subscription for the
fund. In other words, under that
contract he would have received
1500.000.
"It appears that on February 15,
1911, the executive committee of the
association passed a resolution giv
ing Mrs. Dimock a sum not to ex
ceed 5 per cent of -the total amount
raised. She in turn arranged to give
the commission to Harvey for his
"We have not found that Harvey
handled any of the funds of the I
George Washington Memorial Asso
ciation. Whether any money actually
passed through his hands is yet to be
determined. We have been told that
he did receive one check for $1,000,
but this has yet to be investigated."

he was identified with Carl Deiner.
Investigation Into the latter man's
activities by District Attorney Kllroe.
resulted in a request to Lord ana
Lady Aberdeen and others to stop
making collections. In the effort to
examine Harvey on this subject, Mr.
Kilroe asked yesterday that he be
aent over from the Tombs. Harvey,
however, refused to appear without
his lawyer.
He will be arraigned before Judge
Rosalsky in general sessions this
morning. His attorney, Isldor "Wa
survogel. announced last night that
he would seek to have him discharged
on the groupd that his arrest was Il
legal. He contends that Harvey can
not be held for violation of parole,
because the offense he committed has
been outlawed. Mr. Talley Insists
Harvey was a fugitive from justice. .
WOOD SILENT ON
QUITTING ARMY
i Idea of General as Next G.

date Gathers Strength.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12. Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood today refused to dis
cuss persistent reports that he would
r!nm his army office within a few
Assistant District Attorney Talley, j days to become an active candidate
for the Republican Presidential nomi
nation. The report was first spread
by politicians who talked to General
Wood when he reached New York
yesterday.
General Wood feels, they said, mat
in telling of the Armenian commit
tee's transactions with Harvey, said:
"Our information comes from
Henry L. Rupert. He says the Ar
menians paid Harvey $32,000 on an
agreement whereby he was to get 10
per cent or the gross receipts of a;lt WOuld be almost disloyal for him to
moving picture. The money was ad- j remain in the army and at the same
vanced to him for expenses, and al-!fim -triv ta succeed President Wil-
though they have made repeated de
mands for an accounting they have
never been able to get a satisfactory
report as to how the money was ex
pended. "We will also continue our investi
gation into the story that he re-
ceived $50,000 from the Elks for two
pictures, and will also look into his
activities with the Federal Board of
Vocational Training."
The $35,000 which Mrs. Dimock ad
vanced to Harvey may not be lost by
her after all. When District Attorney
Swann suggested to her that she
might reimburse herself for this
money out of her share of the 5 per
cent of the association funds she told j ported.

against loss if necessary.

The possibility that Harvey had
some connection with war charities
in May, 1018, is another point into
which the District Attorney's office is
looking. There is a suspicion that

reported that Governor Lowden, of
Illinois, who is also mentioned as a
candidate, is willing to accept- the

"Prior to the time that the large packers became interested in the -stock
yardssin Denver the market was small and; inconsequential. It has '
grown tremendously since their interests began. The yard 'service has
greatly improved under their ownership. It is efficient and satisfactory. A
change of ownership in the stock yards at Denver would be a TREMENDOUS

RED TAPE connected with government supervision of privately owaed in

"From my own experience with railroads in the lastiyear and a half X
do not think I want any more of government control of private interest. . -
"I will tell you an instance: Last fall I bought 12 carloads of stock -feeders
and was shipping them out on Thursday evening on a branch line. !
found there was no train running on that branch line .until Monday. This
wa1nust six m,ies across from the main line of the Union Pacific, and I went
to the agent and asked a special service; if they could furnish me an engine
to run those cattle up to North Platte and then come right back up to within
six miles of the main line.
"The agent took it up with the superintendent and after hearing front
the superintendent he said the government rules were such that they coqld,
not furnish an engine for less than 25 cars. Thfc Union Pacific used 1o send'
me an engine for 8 or 10 cars. Then I said 'if they will let me unload the
cattle at Ogallala I will wire my men to come there and drive them across.
Well, after doing that, he said : 'No, we used to do that, but governoaaaf
regulations are in force and you have got to drive your fat cattle back to:
where you unload your stockers. So the government hauled those caitJe'llOl'
miles for nothing and I lost 3 days .feed."
