Repeats His Denunciation of
Electoral Case Decision. -
DELEGATES LADD ATTACK
Colonel Roosevelt May Be Cited For
Contempt If He Enters State—Sow
Editors Held.
Chicago, Dec. 11. At the formal
opening of the Progressive party’s mu
, tlonal conference here Colonel Roose
velt repeated and emphasized his criti
cism of the act of the supreme court
of Idaho in ruling Progressive electors
from the ballot in the November elec
tion.
Not to criticise the decision, for
which several Boise editors, who quot
ed the colonel's original strictures,
have been, cited Tot contempt, would
have been cowardly, the colonel as
serted. Roosevelt himself may be cit
ed for contempt if he enters Idaho.
“The Boise Capital News," said Col
ohel Roosevelt, “was the only paper
i that had the courage to criticise the
decision. I hold that It would have
been cowardly not to have criticised
such an outrageous decree. The se
verest criticism the papers contained,
; however, *was in a telegram from me.
“I did not make it half strong
; enough; it was much worse than th®
| ordinary bad decision. I hold that
I the decision was outrageous and it was
the duty of every honest citizen to
protest against it and denounce it In
the strongest terms.
“Now- the court has cited Publisher
Sheridan and other editors for con
tempt. The court has it within its
power, by indicting a sufficiently
heavy fine, to ruin the only paper In
Idaho with the strength to hold out
against it.
“I advocate that the Progressive
party pay any fine that may be inflict
ed, and that we send the best lawyers
obtainable to Idaho to fight the case
and to give it the widest publicity.
The action of the Idaho court is not
only against the people of Idaho, but
against the whole citizenship of the
United States, and the people should
use every effort to combat the out
rage.
“It is to prevent just such outra
geous decrees that the Progressive
party advocates the recall of judicial
decisions.”
Roosevelt finished his address amid
tumultuous cheers, in the midst of
which arose the cry; "Let’s hear from
Idaho."
In response /. H. Gibson,
well, Idaho, brought further cheering
when he said:
“The supreme court of Idaho, in
stead of being In position to cite edi
tors for contempt should be wearing
stripes.”
William Allen White, of Kansas, the
next speaker, adhered to the theme of
court criticism with respect to the de
feat for governor of Kansas of Arthur
Capper, who lost by twenty-nine votes.
He declared there were 5000 votes
cast which never were counted, but
that despite this “the Kansas court de
clined to permit a recount.”
“You will be cited for contempt,’’
cried some one in the audience.
“That’s all right,” answered the
speaker; “I always said that the fur
of a jack rabbit should be substituted
for the ermine.”
Roosevelt’s attack on the court
came in the course of a long address
with which he opened the national
conference. In it he declared the new
party had come to stay and did not
contemplate making terms with the
Republican party.
The colonel early digressed from his
set address to thank those who had
contributed to the campaign fund. To
give emphasis to this, Roosevelt walk
ed to the front of the platform and
pointed to William Flinn, George W.
Perkins, Frank A. Munsey and C. S.
Bird. Calling each by name, he con
tinued:
“I not only want to thank you, but
to say that I have been happy to be
associated with you. I want to say
that there have been no more disin
terested Progressives than yourselves.
Nobody will ever have to investigate
me to learn that I knew of these con
tributions and was very much obliged
for them.”
PARENTS BLIND THEIR CHILD
Souged Out Its Eyes to Make It More
Pitiable as a Beggar.
Cerbere, France, Dec. 11. —A man j
and wife, living in the village of Gave,
in Catalonia, were caught in the act
of gouging out the eyes of their five
year-old child, with the object of mak
ing it more pitiable and thus able to
obtain as a beggar more sympathy
from the public.
The other inhabitants of the village
were attracted by the child’s screams,
and when they arrived on the scene
found that it had already been blinded
and otherwise mutilated.

WAS CHECKING UP
ARCHBALD, HE SAYS
W. P. Boland Suggested Steps
In Katydid Deal.
i
Washington, Dec. 11. —William P.
Scranton,. -Pa., charged-by..
Judge Robert R. Archbald, of the
commerce court, with having organiz
ed a conspiracy that resulted In Judge
Archbald’s Impeachment and his pres
ent trial before the senate, admitted
on the witness stand that he had sug
gested the various steps by which
Judge Archbald was connected with
the deal for the Katydid refuse coal
dump, in order to “check up Judge
Archbald.”
“I wanted to button up Judge Arch
bald,” he said, shaking his finger at
the accused jurist, who sat in front
of him. “I wanted to show he was the i
kind of a man he is.’’
These admissions. made under
searching questions by Judge Arch
bald’s attorney, A. S. Worthington,
were interspersed with the vigorous j
denunciation of Judge Archhald by j
Mr. Boland as a “corrupt judge,” and j
charges that Judge Archhald had beenj
“working for the railroads.”
Repeated demands were made by
Judge Archbald's attorney that Mr. |
Boland be required to answer ques- (
tions directly, but notwithstanding
cautions from President Bacon, he em-!
bodied in his replies sweeping charges;
against Judge Archhald and frank ad-1
missions that he had set out to get I
hold of everything he could that would
help in “showing up” Judge Archhald j
and that would sustain the belief Bo- j
land held that Judge Archhald was be-;
ing “used” by the railroads.
The testimony of William P. Boland,
who followed his brother, C. G. Bo
land, on the stand, centered chiefly
about the case of the Marion Coal
company, of which they were chief
owners, embraced in the second article
of impeachment charges against Judge
Archhald. Mr, Boland declared he be
lieved Judge Archhald had used his
influence to attempt to bring about a
settlement of a case between the Mar
ion Coal company and the Lackawan
na railroad.

I GET MONEY FROM COUNTRY
, New York Clearing House Official Ex
plains That High Call Rates Are to
Get Money Needed For Speculation.
Washington, Dec. 11. —The first tes
timony regarding “concentration of
credit” was heard by the house bank
ing and currency committee in its in
vestigation of the so-called money
trust.
W. E. Frew, president of the Corn,
Exchange bank, of New York, and
chairman of the New York clearing I
house committee, occupied the stand I
and was put through a grilling exami
nation by Samuel Untermyer, counsel
for the committee.
Through Mr. Frw MV. Untermyer
put into the record evidence of trust |
agreements by which five men control
two of New York's greatest financial
Institutions, the Trust com
i pany and the Guarantee Trust com
pany, with aggregate deposits of near
; ly $400,000,000.
The Bankers’ Trust -company, Mr.
: Frew said, was controlled by H. P. j
Davison, George B. Case and Daniel
| G. Reid; the Guarantee company by
I H. P. Davison, George F. Baker and
William Porter.
These men hold and vote all of the
: stock of the companies except enough i
to allow a board of directors to qual
ify, and under the trust agreements
have absolute authority over the af
fairs of the companies, even to the ac
quisition or merger of other institu
tions.
Mr. Untermyer also secured from
Mr. Frew a description of the method
by which money was attracted to New
York when small country merchants
and farmers demand funds for the
moving of crops or the accommoda
tion of their business affairs.
Mr. Frew- said that the money was
needed on the New York stock ex
change for speculative purposes; that
country banks kept large sums on de
posit in New York, and that when
the “home” demand for money be
came strong the New York price of
money rose, and the country banks, in
order to gain the big interest charges,
put their money out in call loans on
the New York stock exchange. All ot,
these loans are based on stock ex- j
change collateral, Mr. Unterrayei
elicited from the witness,
Wneh Mr. Untermyer endeavored to'
attribute the enormous growth of the {
Bankers’ Trust company to the Influ- i
ence of J. P. Morgan & Co., Mr. Frew
objected, and the lawyer grew bitter. |
He finally pinned the witness down to
the admission that the “Morgan Influ
ence” might have aided the company j
Mr. Untermyer connected up Messrs. |
Davison, Case and Porter with the |
Morgan company.
Mr. Untermyer questioned Mr. Frew I
rather sharply as to how he classified
the cost of collecting out-of-town;
checks. Mr. Frew said it was a “loss,” |
but the lawyer insisted upon calling
It an “expense.”
*‘W T hat you want to do is to make*
the customer pay the expense of con- 1
ducting jour business, after he has
given you the use of his money,” Mr. |
Untermyer observed.
“The Morgan Influence” formed the
basis for most of the day’s session.
Mr. Untermyer first took up the Bank- j
ers’ Trust company. Mr. Frew said Its
management was held b> r a trust com
mittee, composed of H. P. Davison,
George B. Case and Daniel G. Reid.
Mr. Davison is associated with J. P.!
Morgan & Co., and Mr. Reid Is a di-!
rector in the United States Ste&l cor-|
poration. Mr. Frew said the three 1
men administered the affairs of the •
company, elected Its hoard of directors
and controlled its operations.

WEBBER NOW DENIES |
ROSENTHAL PLOT
Says Gunmen Were Hired Only
to Scare Gambler.
New York, Dec. 11. —“Bridgey” Web
ber, one of the four informers In the
Becker murder trial, returned with hla
wife from a trip to Havana with the
amazing statement that there was no
plot to kill Herman Rosenthal, so far
as he knows.
Webber persisted in this statement
in the face of reminders that he had
testified differently as a witness in the
Becker trial and the trial of the four
gunmen.
Webber is bitter against his fellow
informers—Rose, Vallon and Schepps
—particularly Schepps. He says he
never would have confessed and had
just paid Max G. Steuer, a lawyer,
slt,ooo for a defense when he heard
Jack Rose had confessed. Then he
“got in line.” 9
No mention of killing Herman Ro
senthal was ever made to him, Web
ber declared, but he had talked with
Rose about buying Rosenthal off or of
scaring him out of town. The gunmen,
according to Webber, were employed
to “throw a scare into Rosenthal,” and
two of them got drunk and killed him
instead.
Webber’s sensational statement that
he knew r of no plot to kill Rosenthal
was autlined to Assistant District At-
Moss, who conducted the prose
cution in the Becker and the gunmen
cases. Moss was surprised and said: i
“This is the first time I ever heard
such a story. During the preparation
of the trials Webber never said there
was no murder plot. On the contrary,
he repeated to me the story he subse
quently told on the stand. I under
stand Webber wants to live in New
York. Perhaps he is trying to make
his stay here more peaceful by placat
ing the friends of the men convicted
of the murder of Rosenthal.”

New York, Dec. 11.—General Dani-

treasury between $27,000 and $32,00*
of moneys appropriated to the New
York monument commission, of which
he is chairman, or each ®iember oi
the commission will be herd responsi
ble.
This is the opinion of Attorney Gen
eral Carmody. Members of the com
mission do not agree with the attornej
general. They put the entire matter uj
to General Sickles.
Governor Dlx in Albany mad© public
the particulars of the endeavor on th
part of the state to straighten out th
financial tangle of the affairs of th
monument coni mission, which sue
ceeded the Gettysburg and Chattanoo
ga battlefield monuments commission,
established In 1883.
The correspondence between th
state comptroller, General Sickles and
members of the commission, shows
that while General Sickles had prom
ised to return the money it has not
reached the state treasury and he has
asked for an extension of time.
General Sickles \ declined to make
any statement concerning the new
financial tangle In which he is in
volved. At his home the attendant
said that the general would not talk
to the newspapers. Mrs. Sickles and
her son, Stanton, left word at the Ho
tel Albert, where they have been stop
ping, that they would be out of town
for a couple of days.
Friends of the Sickles family said
that Mrs. Sickles is willing to come
