FLYNN DONATION
RECORD OF 1912 EXPENDITURES
IN ROOSEVELT CAMPAIGN
TOLD TO COMMITTEE.
PERKINS ALSO HEAVILY.
Munaey Another Contributor—Flinn
Replies to Charge That He
Offered to Buy 8enate
Seat.
Washington, Oct. 2.—William Flinn
of Pittsburg, Roosevelt leader and
Progressive national committeeman in
Pennsylvania, and Elon H. Hooker ot
New York, treasurer of the Progres
sive national committee, testified be
fore the senate campaign expendi»
tures committee. The witness gave
some inside facts about the primary
expenses of the Roosevelt campaign
for the Republican nomination at Chi
cago.
Mr. Flynn appeared not only to tell
of his contributions, but to answer the
charges that Senator Penrose had
made last August that Mr. Flinn offer
ed $1,000,000 to him and Isreal W. Dur
ham in 1904 for the Pennsylvania sen
atorial appointment to succeed M. H.
Quay and that in the same tight Mr.
Flinn exchanged telegrams with John
D. Archbold of the Standard OH com
pany, asking bis support.
The Pittsburg man declared that 11
Senator Penrose made the first state
ment, "he lied." As to the other, he
produced J. G. Splain of Pittsburg,
who testified that he "thought" he had
signed Mr. Flinn's name to the tele
gram to Mr. Archbold June 7, 1904
and that he and not Mr. Flinn had
handled the telegrams with Mr. Arch*
bold and had attempted to Becure the
Standard Oil influence in Mr. Flinn's
support.
Flinn Makes Admission.
Prodded by Senator Pomerene of
Ohio, who demanded a specific answer,
Mr. Flinn admitted having written an
agreement in January. 1906, in which
Senator Quay, J. O. Brown and Mr.
Flinn proposed to divide up the fed
eral and local patronage of Pennsyl
vania. He declared he had "gold
bricked" Senator Quay, that he had
never signed or intended to sign the
agreement and that he had written
It only to allay Senator Quay's oppo
sition to the Republican candidate for
mayor of Pittsburg.
The investigation brought out the
fact that Mr. Flinn has this year con
tributed $144,308.29 to the Roosevelt
primary, the Republican and Progres
sive campaigns in Pennsylvania.
Mr. Hooker, who preceded him on
the witness stand, produced records
to show that the Roosevelt national
committee had spent $141,657.44 in the
entire national primary campaign,
over $52,000 of this sum going to Mas
sachusetts for the bitter primary fight
there.
Spent $52,606.52 in New York.
Mr. Hooker also produced the rec
ords of the New York primary cam
paign where the Roosevelt forces
spent $52,606.52. The records showed
that George W. Perkins had given
$15,000 to the New -York and $22,500
to the national campaigns, and D. R.
Hanna $25,000 to the national cam
paign.
Mr. Flinn apportioned but $99,384.18
as "Roosevelt expenditures" in his
statement of the sums he has con
tributed this year.
Contributed 90 Per Cent of Total.
Other items given tor the election
of delegates brought the total of his
Roosevelt contributions up to $102,•
000 and he admitted that he had con
tributed 90 per cent of the money
spent to carry the state for Roosevelt
In the primaries. He added that he
believed the end sought—a change of
conditions in Pennsylvana— was
"worth the price."
The senate committee will hear
Senator Joseph M. Dixon, manager of
Colonel Roosevelt's campaign since
its beginning last February.
J. G. Gordon, president of the
Fourth National bank of New York,
who audited the books of Cornelius
N. Bliss, Sr. George R. Sheldon,
treasurer of the Republican national
committee in 1908, and Congressman
John R. Weeks of Massachusetts, who
will be questioned regarding congre»
sional funds, also are expected to tes
tify at once.
Seats in Great Demand.
New York, Oct. 2.—At the rate ap
plications of preferred patrons for
seats at the world's baseball series
were being received by Secretary
Heydler of the National league it ap
peared likely that the number of re
served .seats to be put on public sale
would be small unless hundreds of the
applications were turned down. Out
of the 8,500 seats available, applica
tions for probably 2,000 had been re
ceived by noon Tuesday.
Near Riot at Dee Moines.
Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 2.—Demon
strations against strikebreakers in
rne instance resulting in serious in
juries to a victim marked the second
day of the teamsters' strike here. Po
lice interference prevented what pro
mised to become a riot when transfer
companies attempted to man their

Attorney General Would Have Office
Of State Sheriff Created
DISTRICT FARMS ALSO ADVOCATED
The Recent Murder of the Moore
Family at Villlsca Shows the
Need of Change In the
Handling of Crimes.
Des Moines.—A law creating the
office ot state sheriff, as well as es
tablishing a central bureau of iden
tification, which was recommended to
the board of control by C. C. Mc
Claughry, warden of the Anamosa re
formatory, is needed in Iowa, accord
ing to George Cosson, attorney-gener
al. Two years ago Mr. Cosson and
H. W. iByers, former attorney-general,
In their hill presented to the legisla
ture for the reorganization of the at
torney-general's work, proposed that
the office of state sheriff be created.
The bill was defeated.
"Warden McClaughry's suggestion
Is a good one," Mr. Cosson said, com
menting on the central bureau idea.
"And in connection with it there
should be a state sheriff. It is time
that the state take some steps to pre
vent crime."
Mr. Cosson declared that If the
finger print system of identification
Is universally adopted It will lessen
crime.
"History shows us that the elec
tric light in the city had a big part
to play with the work of criminals.
Shortly after they were installed in
the big cities, the records show that
the number of holdups, murders and
robberies decreased. It stands to rea
son that criminals will fear a certain
identification method as much as they
feared lights."
And while the state is going about
It to put up a bigger bar to criminals
It might establish a state farm or
district farms to send persons guilty
of misdemeanors, the attorney-general
thinks. He would have finger print!
taken of every person sent to SUCH
farms He said that there Is some
objection to photographing personi
guilty of minor offenses, but he can
see no reason why it should not be
done.
With every city and county work.
Ing in conjunction with a state office
the attorney-general said that great
results could be accomplished in re
ducing crime.
Iowa Railroads Are Busy.
Contrary to the general supposition,
railroads are not busy alone with the
movement of crops. The grain move
ment is enormous but it is not the
only. item. The crop conditions have
in turn stimulated and created a de
mand for merchandise. The extraor
dinary movement of freight has been
a great thing for the country in more
ways than one. It has been a parti
cularly happy thing for the railroads.
It is enabling them to recover losses
of the last two years when the condi
tions were against them and it is put.
ting them back on their feet. If It'
had not been for this stimulation
some of the roads would have been
forced into the hands of receivers.
Not only is freight traffic heavy, but
travel is heavy and it is increasing.
The passenger business has picked
up with the freight traffic and both
departments of the railroads are ex
periencing an unusual amount of busi
ness. People travel in prosperous
times. When it is dull they travel
only when they have to. Travel has
picked up wonderfully. And when
railroads are doing business it is a
sure indication that merchandise is
moving and that money is circulating.
Women Want New Laws.
The executive board of the Iowa
State Federated clubs is in favor of
the mothers' pension law. The board
advocates the following legislation
in addition to mothers' pensions
teachers' pension bill, centralization
of rural schools laws for a better
water supply and purifwhe waters ot
the Iowa rivers and streams equal
suffrage a law appointing a woman
assistant state labor commissioner.
The legislative committee will bring
all these bills before the coming leg
islature.
The association has a scholarship
and loan fund committee which re
ported thirteen scholarships award
ed and sixteen loans made to help
worthy girls through school. No in
terest is charged on these loans and
the girls pay the money back in small
Installments as soon as they obtain
work. So far about $2,100 has been
contributed by the clubs of this state
to make up the loan fund.

State Furnishes Anti-Tcxln.
Iowa people who have use for anU
toxin in diphtheria cases should
informed that by purchasing the
packages for sale at state agencieE
much money can be saved. Dr. Gull
ford H. Sumner, secretary of tha
state board of health, has already es
tablished 250 stations in Iowa where
anti-toxin can be bought at about one
third the r:03t of the usual charge at
drug stores.
Dr. Sumner says that 5,000 units or
one of the larger packages can be
bought of any anti-toxin distributor
fcr $2.25, and one of the smaller pack
ages for €0 cents. The larger pack
age is designed to cure cases of diph
theria which have not passed'a de
velopment of more than twenty-four
hours and the smaller packages are
to be given to children in the family
who have not yet been affected as a
preventive. The usual charge at drug
stores for the larger package Is $7.50
and for the smaller package $2. Any
person may buy the state anti-toxin
at any of the state stations. Every
physician has a list of the stations.
Day of Low Taxes Is Past.
"The day of low taxes is past," as
serted Alfred C. Mueller, mayor of
Davenport and president of the Iowa
League ot Municipalities, tn an ad
dress at the fifteenth annual conven
tion of the League. He urged con
certed action to procure laws that
would permit the incurring of heavy
obligations, if they are necessary to
the proper upbuilding of the commun
ities.
"W? need more city conveniences
today than we did ten years ago." he
asserted. "Our cities are not merely
commercial or industrial enterprises
they are our koines nrirl- they must be
made places ia which we can rear our
families under cleanly and wholesome
conditions. They must be healthy,
both from the physical and the moral
points of view. To brirg these about
there must be more parks, sewers,
police and fire protection."

portions.
No New Political Jobs.
The employers' liability commis
sion's proposed working men's com

KILLED BY AUTO
WELL KNOWN AUTO RACER
CA8TS TIRE WHILE GOING
90 MILE8 AN HOUR.
MECHANICIAN WILL DIE,
Machine Is Wrecked.—Report Thai
Narrowness ff Course Caused
the Tragedy
Denied.
Milwaukee, Oct. 2. David Bruce'
Brown, wealthy young New York
sportsman, was killed, and his mechan
ician, Tony Scudalarl, was probably
fatally Injured on the new Wauwatosa
automobile road course on the eve ol
the eighth running of the Vanderbllt
cup race.
Bruce-Brown was driving his high
powered Fiat car at a 90-mile-an-hour
speed when a rear left tire blew out.
The heavy racing car swerved Into a
ditch and a second later men and
machine were catapulted diagonally
across the road and into a field with
terrific force. The men were thrown
clear of the car, which was hurled
high in the air and then smashed into
a tangled heap of wreckage.
Bruce-Brown's skull was fractured,
his left leg broken and he suffered
Internal Injuries. Surgeons said that
death resulted directly from hemorr
hage of the brain. The top of Scuda
lari's skull was crushed, his right arm
broken and his body seriously torn.
Bruce-Brown died at Trinity hospi
tal three hours after the accident, hav
ing only partially regained conscious
ness for a few minutes. Surgeons had
trephined his skull on both sides in
an unavailing effort to save the young
race driver's life.
Fellow Drivers Weep.
Caleb Bragg, Bruce-Brown's close
friend, Ralph De Palma, Teddy Tets
laff and other well known drivers,
stood weeping in the hospital corridor
as Bruce-Brown was wheeled from the
operating room to a private ward.
The hospital authorities withheld
news of Bruce-Brown's demise for an
hour. Various explanations were giv
en for this delay. Bruce-Brown, ac
cording to his friend, Caleb Bragg,
met his death in a heroic, but useless
effort to keep his swerving car on
the comparatively narrow roadway, af
ter the explosion of the tire which
caused the fatal accident.
Course Is Held Narrow.
Bragg declared that the course was
dangerously narrow. He asserted that
Bruce-Brown could have saved himself
under similar conditions on a wider
road. Bitter exceptions, however, were
taken to this statement by officers of
the Milwaukee Automobile Dealers'
association under whose auspices the
races here are to be held.
Referee A. F. Pardlngton also de
clared that the accident could not be
blamed on the course.
"The accident was unavoidable,"
said Mr. Pardlngton, "and the track
was in no wise to blame. It Is In ex
cellent condition. The casting of the
tire would have upset any machine
Wilson Stands For a Principle
Will You Stand By Him?
Woodrow Wilson is a vastly different order of man than you find among the ranks of many good men in
practical political life.
Woodrow Wilson is not among the great majority of politicians and business men, otherwise estimaNe
characters, who believe that the end justifies the means, who are honest in a commercial or political sense.
The candidate of the progressive voters of the country not only does not believe in the doctrine of
"anything to win," but he insists on plain old fashioned honesty in every detail of his campaign.
Woodrow Wilson proposes to win on the merits of his candidacy and platform or not at all.
"Clean hands or no fight" is Wilson's ultimatum to his supporters throughout the country.
No Tainted Money For Wilson
Not a dollar of questionable money will be spent to elect Woodrow Wilson.
The Democratic National Committee is heart and soul in accord with the candidate's views.
And the corrupting influences, with no political faith, casting about to win a foothold in the new govern
ment with bribes of ill-gotten gains, have despaired of reaching Wilson or his campaigners.
They have gone to the enemy, whoever that enemy may be. It is a matter of common knowledge that
the "Interests" are using all their political funds to defeat Wilson.
This makes it your fight.
•What the American People Need to Know
The people have constantly made the mistake of believing that this is a money-ridden nation.
Such is only the case insofar as the People fail to get together and so permit the few to control the dishonest
representatives they, by mistake, elect to office.
The actual money power of the People is still greater than that of the Interests.
The Progressive People of the country, if they get together, can buy and sell the Corrupting Influences
and destroy their financial power.
So Woodrow Wilson and his managers believe that not only is it the only clean method but the most
practical method for the Progressive People of the country to supply the Woodrow Wilson Campaign Fund.
The People to Fight With THEIR Dollars
This year a popular president is to be elected with the People's money.
The Woodrow Wilson Campaign Fund is to be collected from the rank and file of the Progressive Voters
of the country.
...
The bills of the Democratic National Committee are to be paid, not with the thousands of the Interests,
but with the individual dollars of the earnest, eager voters who desire clean, efficient government and who are
willing tfe help Wilson as he wants to be helped.
Money thus needed is not spent in improper ways or in any manner similar to the way in which the tunas ot tne
Butwe have to tell the voters of the country about Woodrow Wilson. We have to tell them what he has done.
We have to tell them what he stands for. We have to point out to them the important planks in his platform. All this
means that to hold up our end we will be obliged to spend as much money as those who oppose us.
This means that every man or woman who believes in Wilson should be willing to contribute to his cause.
Let the supporters of Wilson help us to spread the Wilson gospel to the four winds.
Let the Progressive Voters battle this year with their pocketbooks as well as their ballots.
We Solicit Popular Subscriptions—Can You Give From $1 to $201
Of course, you can—and you are glad to support the cause in this way. A
Practically every voter can afford to give 91 to aid the Wilson Campaign. A great many can give W. A great
many can give 15. And there are lots and lots of progressive voters who will be eager to donate from flu to WU.
And we will be proud to receive from thousands, who can only afford $1, their $1 contributions. We want to bear

This year the man with the dollar must defeat the government traducer who spends nis thousands.
Get Club Subscriptions
If you know many Wilson men, if you work among many Wilson men, head a list with your name and money and
get the others to join you with their subscriptions.
Then send your list with the money to C. R. Crane, Vice Chairman, Finance Committee, Democratic National
Committee, 900 Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois.
No loyal Wilson man can do more than this to assure Wilson's victory at the polls in November.

Was Well Known Racer.
Although only 25 years old, Bruce
Brown was one of the best known au

He began racing in 1907, winning his
novice race at the Empire City track.
In 1908 he ran away from school
and acted as mechanician for the late

National Banks Declared Able to Hai*

Alone.
Washington, Oct. 2.—Uncle 8am
opened his October accouut with a
190,013,494 working balance in the
treasury a public debt c'ecreased by
$211,590 during September and with
customs receipts rapidly increasing
as the main feature of the monthly
figures.
The final reports for September
showed total receipts of $55,682,556,
disbursements of $58,446,255, and a
total balance in the general fund of
$149,846,615. The total customs re
ceipts were $27,475,127, an increase
of $2,728,818 over September, 1911, but
the internal revenue receipts, not in
cluding the corporation tax, fell $1,
725,653 below the $26,147,673 of a year
ago. The total disbursements over
ran the receipts by nearly $5,000,000
against an excess of nearly $2,000,000
in receipts over expenditures in Sep
tember of last year, a difference due
in part at least to belated appropria
tion legislation.
Banks Need No Crop Money.
National banks will not, for the pre
sent at least, have any of the talked
of $25,000,000 deposits of public funds
to aid in the movement of the crops.
Secretary MacVeagh and Assistant Se
cretary Bailey decided that the banks
are fully able to cope with the situa
tion, without help from the treasury.
There were 20 national banks au
thorized to begin business during Sep
tember with an authorized capital of
$1,030,000 making a total of 7,422
national banks doing business today
with an aggregate capital of $1,056,•
