PRICE THREE CENTS iincm mim testimony IS SECBETAHY MOTION PICTURE I TRUSTEES SUIT MURDER PROBERS BOLD ROBBERY IN EXPRESS CAR t AS IN CONTEMPT? Roosevelt Wing of Republi cans Assert That Dual Chairman Roland Ex ceeds His Authority. TALK OF EXCLUSION SUGGESTS VIOLENCE Full County Committee Meets Tomorrow at Noon Mr. Grant Gives a Letter to the Public. The political plot has so thickened in the republican household, hereabouts, that it has become positively opaque. Mr. Roland, from his dual position as chairman of the congressional com niittee and of the county committee, lias issued calls for both conventions, as stated in this paper yesterday, and after a harrowing period of uncer tainty. The Roosevelt wing of the party has set up the claim that Mr. Roland clearly exceeded his authori ty, and in substitution of this rlaim they produce documentary evidence in the shape of the republican plan of organization. Sure enough, that plani invests the right to call the county convention in the county ex ecutive committee not in the chair man and they set up the further claim that the conven may only be called for the purpose of nominating a county ticket, and not, as set forth in Mr. Roland's call, for the exclusive purpose of sending delegates to the state convention. The Roosevelt people declare that the Taft folks have waived all pre tence of making a light against the ancient enemy, the democratic par ly, and are bent solely on promoting a row In the state convention In the interest of Chairman Morehead. The Taft people, when one may be found, respond that It makes little differ ence what men who do not belong to the republican party may say, and they throw out the Intimation that they will proceed to take charge of the party machinery and all that per tains thereto, in the precinct meet ings. The Moose, or Meese, will not lie permitted to participate, say they, in the further deliberations of the loyal Taft adherents. It will be observed that fl this In timation, or threat, Is put into exec ution against the Roosevelt folks the forecasted act of exclusion suggests something physical, and, it may be further observed, that It does not take tho logician to see that this thing may easily lead to the shed ding of b-l-o-o-d. All these things, Including the sanguinary possibilities, will re) eive attention tomorrow at noon, when there Is to be a meeting of the full county committee to take action with respect to the doings of Mr. Roland, whose critics, as before stated, say he Is clearly guilty of usurpation. It Is stated this afternoon on good authority that if there Is a quorum present tomorrow a call for a con tention, Ignoring that of Mr. Roland, will Issue. A Letter of Mr. Pearson's.

The best plaices In Euroi (Continued en page 4) Says Roosevelt Replying to Statement About the Harriman Funds. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. Hi Refer ring to the testimony given by Benja min B. Odell before the senate com mittee investigating campaign contri butions. Col. Roosevelt said yesterday that the relation of the late E. H .Har riman to the national republican cam paign funds in 1904 had been definite ly settled by him in the letters pub lished six years ago. He declared that no question could be raised by any honest man and that any attempt to do so was to deal In falsehoods. Mr. Odell's testimony was, he said, purely hearsay, and not to be considered as evidence against his own statement and George R. Sheldon's latter. As was pointed out in that statemetit, the colonel con tinued, he had never directly nor in directly asked Mr. Harriman for a dollar, but on the contrary, Mr. Har riman had asked that money be given to him and to Odell. When ex-Governor Odell's testi mony was called to the ex-presldent's attention at the conclusion of the leaders' conference he declined at first to reopen the controversy. After a moment's reflection he dictated this statement: "I have not a thing to add to what was contained in my statement con taining the letters published at that time. These letters speak for them selves. Mr. Sheldon's testimony bears them absolutely out. I never directly nor Indirectly asked Mr. Harriman for a dollar and he never spoke to me about giving a dollar to the national campaign fund. On the contrary he asked me to help him get for Odell and the slate campaign fund some large sums of money from the nation al campaign committee on the ground that my election was safe anyhow, that it was essential to help Odell car ry the state ticket. Let m,e repeat that every fact was set forth in full and in detail by me six years ago while Mr. Harriman was alive. This statement contained my letter written at the time to Mr. Harriman, and neither Mr. Harriman or Mr. Odell ever attempted to answer this com munication of mine, and no human being can so much as attempt to re fute any statement I therein made without branding himself as dishon est and untruthful. Mr. Sheldon's statement, which he of his own ac cord volunteered to make, corroborat ed everything that I said. 1 was glad to have it published, but the letters that 1 gave needed no corrobora tion." It Is understood that after some of the national organization plans left over had been cleared up the problem of the colonel's itin erary for his sweeping campaign trip next month was tackled with such success that while not yet ready for publication, It has on the authority of Senator Dixon been shaped up all save the finishing touches. In order to cover the 30 odd states which the colonel hopes to enter In the one tour a very close schedule Is demanded. In some states It is likely that not more than one or two stops will be made. As far as possible stale fairs and state conventions will be utilized to secure the greatest results In the least lime. The ex-president Is fully alive to the hardships of so rapid and exten tlve a trip, much of which will be made in special trains. He remarked that he had never supposed It would bo necessary for him to undertake again such a task.

The presi dent expects to sign the 1160,000,000 pension appropriation today and thou sands of veterans and their depend ants who have been practically with out the usual government aid for many weeks may cash their checks.

Miss Florence Bernstein, on trial for ths murder of her husband, George, was prepared to resume the stand today In her own defense. Yesterday she denied em phatically that she shot her hmband. Six alienists watched closely, pre paring to be called on to testify whether she Is the victim of "furore trsnsltorla." a form of Insanity ac cording to the defense, causing her to forget what she waa doing when her husband was shot as he lay In bee. at House May Cite Stimson to Its Bar Unless He Produces the Ray Case Papers. PRESIDENT'S BROTHER SUMMONED AS WITNESS Committee Wants Light on Army Paymaster's Ac ' tivities in 1908 Campaign. Washington, Aug. 10. The house committee on expenditures in the war department is preparing to hale Sec retary of War Stimson before the bar of the house on contempt charges unless he agrees forthwith to produce what are known as the "missing pa pers'' in the record of Major Beecher I). Ray, the paymaster whose conduct has been under investigation for more than seven months. 1 An assistant sergeant at arms of the house is to start for Kiddefoid Pool, Me., armed with a subjonea for Charles ', Taft, brother of the presi dent. C. P. Taft is expected to throw some light on Major Ray's political activities in the campaign of 1908. Major Ray is accused of miscon duct with his clerk's wife, ot having received favors at the hands of the administration because of his politi cal efforts for President Taft, and of having been shielded from court martials for tho samo reasons. A batch of papers said to contain damaging evidence against the offi cer has been sought in vain by the committee. These papers are sup posed to be In the possession of Major-General Franklin Bell in the Phil ippines. Bell got possession of them when he was chief of staff of the army and when Ray iir said to have been most active in politics. Army officers have told the com mittee that the papers became mixed with some of Gen. Bell's private pa pers and all track of them had been lost. The committee called Secretary Stimson In a last effort to get the documents. Mr. Stimson Immediately question ed the authority of the inquisitors to demand the papers, which, he said, he had never seen. Before he had been testifying ten minutes he be came Involved in arguments yvith other members of the committee. His testimony became a cross fire be tween himself, Chairman Holm and Representative Uuikiey. Members of the committee were much put out at what they termed .Mr. Stlmson's lack of proper respect. He responded that the committee ap peared to be trying to impute im proper motives to himself and offi cers of the department. After two hours of dispute Stimson left, the committee room unceremon iously. The angry members imme diately met In executive session and decided to ascertain to what extent house resolutions shall be respected by cabinet officers or cabinet officer answer questions of a committee with arguments. The committee had about decided to let C. P. Taft out of the ordeal of testifying, but Secretary Stimson's at titude angered them to such an ex tent that they propose to go to the bottom of the case. Mr. Taft will be questioned ron-i-ernlng his relations with Major Ray, who was allowed to leave his com mand to attend the Chicago conven tion, where he Is said to have been instrumental in lining up the labor delegates for President Taft. Before he was placed In the pay-corps by Senator Mark Hanna, Major Ray was a railroad conductor and a leading member of the brotherhood. Secretary Stimson read to the com mltteo two letters that passed be tween himself and President Taft concerning the proposed promotion of Ray to lieutenant colonel. The presl dent ordered Stimson to take no steps until the house committee icom- uleted its Investigations. "If, however," wrote the president, "they take no action or make no re port until the end of the session, will send in Major Ray's name for promotion, a few days before ad Journment, in order that I may make the temporary promotion of Major Ray by vacation appointment." HELD FOR LARCENY Harbor Who Charged SI. 25 for Shave and Haircut without Frills (ids in Trouble. Philadelphia, Aug. 11. Franklin B. Forrest of I-ansdowne Is the com plslnant against E. J. Townsend. pro prletor of one of the largest barber shops here, "n the ground that he had been charg-d $1 26 for a plain everyday ordinary haircut and shave without tb usual frilly. When ho could not pay the $1.26 he says, the barber made him leave a 8( gold watch and a silver match safe. Forrest reported the occurrence to the police and swore out a war rant for the barber's arrest on the charge of larceny. The magistrate held Townsend In 1800 ball for a further hearing next Federal Government Files Ac tion for Dissolution of Companies. Philadelphia, Aug. 16 The federal government today filed a civil suit for the dissolution of the Motion Picture Patents company and the General Film company. They are accused of combining to monopolize business to the extent of increasing or decreasing the number of moving picture thea ters in which they have no proprie tary interest. Regarded as Important. Washington, Aug. 16. The moving picture anti-trust suit filed today Is regarded by the department of justice as one of the most important moves under the Sherman law. as it squarely asks for a judicial determination of the relation of that statute to the patent laws. The suit will test the right of corporations and individuals to join respective patent monopolies into big monopoly. CIVIL SERVICE TENURE PROVISION DEFEATED House Fails to Override Pres ident's Veto in Appro priation Bill. Washington, Aug. 16. House dem ocratic leaders failed yesterday in their third successive effort to over ride the president when they sought to pass the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill over Mr. Tafl's veto. The vole, lf,;t to 107, was 20 short of the requisite two thirds of those voting. As a result the bill will be taken In hand, shorn of one provision to which the president objected, fixing a seven-year tenure for government. nrjjilo?:es under the civil service, and sent on its way again. The other feature to which the pres ident objected, the abolition of the commerce court, will be left in the measure, but the temper of the senate on 'this program is yet to be ascer- alned. It is acknowledged at both ends of the enpitol that there Is a strong sentiment against the continu ance of the court and objection by the senate for this reason is not expected. So strong is the sentiment against the tribunal that leaders of both the house and senate believe if the president eloes the bill as changed, it can be passed over his objection. In the vote in the house there were many peculiar changes of front on the part of the democrats and "insurgent' republicans, the latter's votes having been the deciding factors in passing the wool and steel tariff revision bills over the president's veto. Eighteen democrats deserted their party on the roll call, while 13 "insurgent" republi cans voted with the majority. ROBBER INJURES BABE TO TORTURE MOTHER Police Searching for Crook Who Dashed Infant Against Wall lit Money Search. New York, Aug. 16. The police are searching today for one of the most brutal crooks they have ever known. He entered an Eighth avc nuo apartment, picked up an infant ind dashed it against a wall to tor ture the mother into revealing the hiding place of money. There was no money in the house. In another place he choked a bride nto Insensibility, robbing her of Jew lry and money. ATTEMPT TO BLOCK Brandege Presents and Urges Rejcc tlon of Conference Report on Canal BUI. Washington, Aug. 16. The confer ence report on the Panama canal bill containing provisions against trust owned ships, and granting free tolls to certain American vessels, was adopted by the senate today, after a futile fight led by Brandegee, chairman of the canal committee. Washington, Aug. 16. The senate today agreed td consider the cam palgn contribution bill Saturday, the bills of lading bill Monday and the vocational school bill Tuesday. An attempt to prevent the Panama canal legislation at this session of congress was made today by Senator Brandegee, when he presented the ronference report on the bill. He urged the report be rejected and th measure allowed to go over, saying he believed the bill a violation of the treaty with England and could not vote for It. Mann's Opposition Renewed. Washington, Aug. 18. Minority leader Mann today renewed opposl lion to sending the postofflce approprl itlon bill to conference, Insisting vote to be taken on the senate par eels .post amendment before being en .rusted to conference, on the ground it 1 such expression would be Impos - slblo after a conference report. SEE PERIL IN POSTAL UNION Amendment to Appropriation Bill First Step Toward "Organization" of Gov ernment Employes. LEGISLATION SOUGHT BY LABOR FEDERATION And Not by Most Men in the Railway Mail Service, Asserts Their Chief. When ing the Senator Root in debat postal appropriation bill admission of the right declared of government employes to strike would imperil the government, many persons thought this was due to the New York senator's conserva tive view of economic questions. But it has since been learned that the head of one of the great organi zations of postal employes took an equally serious view of the legislation nacted by both the house and the senate regarding postal employes who join organizations for the improve ment of conditions and hours of labor and pay. This legislation barred strikes by government employes, but was peril ous in other ways according to ex perts who discussed it. Peter J. Schardt president of the Railway Mail Clerks' association, de- lares that this legislation was not sought by the great majority of postal employes, but by the American Fed eration of Labor, which desires to "or ganize" the entire service. in affiliation with the federation he sees tne first step toward a great organization of all government em- loyes and ultimately the Injection of their vast influence into politics, to gelher with an ever present tempta- tion to coercion and intimidation. Senate's Provision. The senate amended the house pro- mion, and it now stands in this form and will probably be thus finally en- cted: "That membership in any society, association, club or other form of or ganization of postal employes not affiliated with any outside organiza- lon Imposing an obligation or duty upon them to engage in any strike or roposlng to assist in any strike against the United States, having for ts object, among other things, im provement in the conditions of labor of Its members, including hours of abor and compensation therefor and cave oi ansence, hy any person or groups of persons In said postal ser vice, or the presenting by any such person or groups of persons of any grievance or grievances to the con gress or any member thereof, shall Tiot onstitute or be cause for reduction n rank or compensation or removal of such person or groups of persons from said service "The right of persons employed in the civil service of the United States, either Individually or collectively, to petition congress or any member thereof to furnish information to either house of congress or to any committee or member thereof, shall not be denied." The provision against affiliation with any organization imposing an obligation to strike will not prevent affiliation with the American Federa tion of Iabor. That body imposes no such obligation, it will operate to hack any development of a brother hood of railway mall clerks organ ized last year under an agroement that In certain contingencies reslgna tlons should be presented "en bloc.1' Mr. Schardt g View of Bill. Mr. Schardt, who is a railway mall clerk from Milwaukee and a man of proved business sense was asked: Do the provisions of the postal hll regarding organization satisfy the as soclatlons of postal employes?" "The provisions In the postal bill will satisfy most of the employes, but we believe they go a great deal fur ther than anything the postal em nloyes advocated. They have been Interested in obtaining the legislative right of a hearing and defence In case or removal or demotion, and the right to petition congress for a redress of grievances, and have believed that with such legislation they would be safeguarded and protected against un fair treatment by the postofflce de partment. "The men In the government service who have given this subject some study have believed that It would be unwise to give government employes legislative encouragement to affiliate with organisations having nothing In common with I he service In fact uch a movement will encourag imalgamallon of all federal employe nto one large organization. The next tep would be affiliation with power ful organisations outside of the ser vice. "Tte temptation to use the tre nendous power thus gained, to en force demands without due regard to the merits, to attempt coercion and Intimidation and to Inject the great 'nfluence of such an organisation Into politics would he ever present, and n doubt he Indulged In, to the serious detriment of the public welfare and lthe Inevitable destruction ot the etv service Itself." . !.

PERKINS MAY RETIRE FROM HARVESTER CD' End of Voting Trust in the Corporation Occasions the Report. New York, Aug. 15. It is thought that George W. Perkins may soon re tire from the International Harvester ompany, accomplishing another step his retirement from financial af fairs which began with his deposition from the chairmanship of the finance ommittee of the United States Steel orporatlon nearly five years ago. The intention of Mr. Perkins to get ut of finance Into "the larger ques tion of capital and labor" he an nounced on January 1, 1911. He was then leaving the firm of J. P. Mor gan & Co., where he had been for a considerable period as practically the ranking partner among the younger men. Henry P. Davison, who has rapidly become one of the leading partners in the Morgan Arm, had en tered the firm before Mr. Perkins' de- arture and had immediately assumed mportant responsibilities and had a prominent place in the firm's coun- els. The immediate event that leads nlninn In financial circles to believe that Mr. Perkins will very shortly get out of Harvester is that the voting trust in the company has just ended. George Perkins with Cyrus H. Mc cormick and Charles Deerlng were the voting trustees. With the disso lution of the voting trust Mr. Perkins ceases to be one of the triumvirate of management, in which triumvirate he was especially prominent as a leader. The handling of the company goes back d'.rectly into the hands of the tockholders, with the McCormick, the Deering and the Morgan interests hav ing practically the control. Although no definite word of Mr. Perkins' intention to retire has been given it was broadly hinted In author- tative quarters that "rumors of such resignation" had been started. This is what Mr. Perkins said about his reported retirement, when ques- ioned at Oyster Bay. where he is in conference on the Bull Moose ques tions of the day: The situation was Just about the same as It was when I left Morgan. From that time my interests have teen more specially concerned with the larger questions of capital and labor and the relation of government to business organization. Ab I stated then I may find it desirable to make some changes, but I can say now that none are Imminent." PHESENT TWO REPORTS Tennessee Democratic Con vention Adopts Platform for Candidate McMillin. Nashville, Aug. 16. Shortly before 1 o'clock this morning, the demo cratic state convention adopted a platform for Gubernatorial Candidate McMillin. Two reports on the liquor question furnished the main Interest.

MESSENGER FORCED TO GET INTO TRUNK He Says Man Who Entered Car Was Masked Local Officers Not Specially Active in Case Today. -. Mr It Is learned this afternoon that the amount taken from the Southern express car last night between Biltmore and Asheville by a bandit was $925.75 and that it is believed that only about $500 or 1600 of this was In cash, the rest being checks and money orders. It ft t K t It K Kit Itltlttt When E. F. Carr, express messenger on train No. 13 running between Co lumbia and Asheville, had concluded his work of unloading the packages addressed to the Biltmore office about 10:30 o'clock last night and turned from the door, he found himself fac ing a masked man who had him cov ered with a pi;tol ,and who command ed the startled messenger to open the Southern Express company's safe. When Carr had complied, the robber directed him to get into a large trunk, which is used for carrying small pack ages, and after he had done so shut the lid. He then took money out of the safe, probably less than $3000, and presumably dropped off the train as it was slowing up for the Asheville sta tion. This Is the exciting story which Mr. Carr told, when he emerged from the trunk, slightly cramped, at the Ashe ville station, just as other employes of the company were wondering what had become of him. Naturally his story caused a great deal of amaze ment around the station, and imme diately the hue and cry was raised, officers were notified and a search be gun for the bold robber, which lasted all through the night without result. Th'" morning, however, the excitement seemed to have subsided someehat, as Sheriff V'llliams stated that his depu ties were not working on the case and Chief Lyerly said that his men were not actively engaged, although they were keeping a lookout for any sus picious man that may be found In the city. Did Not Hear Man Enter. The train was running about an hour and a half late. When It reach ed Biltmore there were a few pack ages to be set out. Intent on his work, the messenger said, he did not hear the man enter the car; for It is thought that he nust have entered at that place through the door on the other side, which was open. It is not quite three miles from Biltmore to Asheville, and the robber lost no time in getting down to business. The safe which was robbed locks with a key and It was soon opened by the mes senger. There were "her valuables In the safe but the man took nothing but money. It Is likely that he did not wish to waste any time on things which he did not know were valua ble. The trunk which he made Carr enter Is large enough to accommodate the average sized man. He did not lock It, but the messenger had no de sire to get out while the robber re mained In the car, and In It he re- ' malned until he heard the train enter ing the yards and men entering the car to see why he did not appear. Mr. Carr does not know at what point the man left the train. It was prob ably Just before It entered the Ashe ville yards. The messenger could not tell the officers much about the ap pearance of the robber. He waa masked, Carr says,, and he was too excited to take much notice In the short time that he had the opportu nity. Officers Had Little to Work On. Express Agent J. T. James arrived at the station Just a few minutes after the train arrived, having been notified of the occurrence. He quickly got In' touch with the authorities of the city and county. Two deputy sheriffs and several policemen went to work on the cats. Having so little to go on, It Is not strange that their search was fruitless. Sheriff Williams said this morning that he supposed that the express company detectives would pursue the matter. Chief Lyerly said It Is not known whether or not the robbery waa committed within thi city limits, but his men would do all they could In the city. Mr. James was not able to tell just how much money was taken, and said that It would take a good while to as certain the exact amount. He did not think It would amount to H00. He la looking for Superintendent Sadler of Charlotte this afternoon to direct the caae and two company detective. Mr. James stated that Mr. Carr has been In the employ of the company since last Clirlstmac and that he ts a man of excellent reputation. . He wis formerly agent at Marlon, but waa placed on the Columbia run July 11.
