PRICE THREE CENTS ROGERSRAlsST WIESOFMdUNDS MR. WEBB CAWT GET SPEAKERS fefc 01 Shot Twice in Head and Cir cumstances Indicate That He Took His Own Life. ' HAD GONE TO WOODS SOUTH OF THE CITY Told Companion, A. L. Reed, That He Wished to Look over Property Which He Had Bought. F. Rogers Grant, a prnmlnont real estate man of the city, president of the Grant Realty company, shot him self, the evidence Indicates, twice In the head this morning shortly after J 2 o'clock and died as a result of the wounds about Z o'clock this after noon at the Mission hospital. He was attended by Drs. E. R. Morris and J. T. Sevier, who took him in an auto mobile to the Mission hospital, hut there Was never any chance for his recovery, as both bullets were found to have penetrated the brain. Mrs. Reed, in a conversation with one of the officers, said that Just as Mr. Grant and her husband were leav ing the house, Mr. Grant remarked to Mrs. Reed's mother that he guessed she would be one of his pall bearers. The tragedy occurred beyond the end of St. Dunatan's road in a small strip of woods, an.l the pistol from which the shots were Bred was found close beside the body. Mr. Grant had driven to the end of the road with A. I. Reed, and. had left Mr. Reed holding his horse while he went into the woods, first telling Mr. Reed thai he wished to look over the property, which he said he had recently bought. The latter waited nbout 46 minutes for him and then fearing that he had become lost went In search for him, finding the body a short distun e away. He Immediately telephoned for medical aid. W.R. McDeriiott..wh.la,J'ik'i lr!8r ldent of thff Urant Realty company, stated this afternoon that Mr.' Grant . had been overworked this summer, that he had fainted about two weeks ago In front of the Candy Kitchen on Haywood street and has never been (well since. The suicide was due to this breakdown, he thought, no trou bles but 111 health being known. Mr. Reed was naturally rather ex cited over the tragedy but he told his story clearly and concisely. He said that he had been figuring with Mr. Grant on the proposition of buying a small strip of land adjoining his own property on the Swannanoa road, and they had talked several times of go ing down there together to look H over. This morning, he said, he saw Ir. Grant at the Elks club, when they had had another talk about the prop erty, and they had finally decided to go out there. They went together to the livery stable of Wiley Hrown to get a horse and buggy and while there a remark Is said to have been made by Mr. Grant that might have Indicated his Intention of attempting to take his own life. According to Mr. Reed, Mr. Grant Inquired of the proprietor of the . stable If he owed him anything, and then followed the question up With. th statement that If he did he would never pay It, and that he did not ex pect to pay for th turnout he was getting at that tlmo. This statement was borne out by Mr. Brown, to whom Mr. Grant's remarks were directed. After getting the horse and buggy, according Ho the story told ly Mr. Reed, the two drove out to the home of the latter and were met by Mrs. Reed on the step. He said that Mr. Grant appeared to be nervous and said, when asked about It, that he did not know what was the matter. and made some reference to having! a fainting spell In front of the Candy Kitchen earlier In the day. Mrs. Reed then volunteered to make him a cup of tea or coffee but he refused It. It appears that Mr. Grant had promised to take Mr. Reed to the Nor mnl and Collegiate Institute by a cer tain hour so that the latter could meet his small daughter and bring her home. After the nop at the house: then, they set out for the school, but before arriving there Mr. Reed said that Mr. Grant looked at his watch and remarked that he had to go down on St. Dunstan's road to look at some property and that he (Mr. Reed) would have time to ac company him. The drlvo then continued to St. Dunstan's road, and they went out to the end of It where the turn Is niado. and Mr. Grant said that he was going down through the woods to see how much of the land hnu been cleared." and asked Mr. Reed to hold the horse until he returned. Mr. Reed said that he stayed there with the horse fot about 45 minutes, and then realising that it was nearly I'mo for him to go to meet his daugh ter, he got out. hitched the horse and siurlcd to hunt for Mr. Grant, think ! possibly that he had become lost, lie said he climbed over the fence and s'nrted off through the woods, railing Mr. Grant's name l see If hn could I'Hi'te him and that the first tt knew of the shooting wus when he suddenly muni ) upon the prostrate body ly ing In the woods s short distance fmin where the burse and bugvy Were flHI'llll.K.

Colonel Roosevelt was a witness be fore the Clapp campaign fund investigating committee today. He was applauded vigorously by the spectators as he took the stand. Clapp Inquire! whether his attention had been called to tho statements of John D. Arehbold. "It has," Col. Roosevelt replied. Clapp asked what the witness knew about the Arehbold contribution at the time it is said to have been made. The witness wanted included in his answer his recent letter to Senator Clapp - denying that he knew of n Standard Oil contribution 'to' the-1904 campaign at the time it was made. He said that since his election -as gov ernor of New York 14 years ago he had written and signed a ..hundred thousand letters, so that it was not possible that be could at once recall all the letters he had written on any subject. Since he wrote the letter to Senator Clapp he had found two oth er letters bearing on campaign con tributions, he sai:i, one to Cornelius llllss, in 1 90(5, which he understood was recently given to the committee, and the other to Sheldon in 1H0K. He read the letter to Sheldon dated Sep tember 21,'iwhleh was substantially as follows: His Protest, to Sheldon. I "Am informed that you or some one in behalf of the national commit tee have been soliciting contributions from corporations,- particularly John It. Arehbold and the Standard Oil company. If this Is true, I wish to en ter a vigorous protest and say that not only should such contributions be refused but that If made thoy should mmediately be returned." The letter set forth -'that "four years ago. Cor- lyou 'ret ustsd, all contributionifxiim irpoi!tions which were being pros uted or were likely to be prosecuted. Answer to Congressman Kihley. Colonel Tosevelt said: "There Is o testimony against me except In the form of hearsay evidence as the statements .of men who are dead." lie usked permission to discuss the let ter published In Hearst's Magazine om Congerssman Sibley. 'It is the letter which in substance i tales tnat aioiey came 10 speuK to me about seeing Arehbold and I said I Would be delighted to see him and sked Sibley to bring An hbold to lunch," he said. "1 don't remember ever talking to Sibley about the mat- r, but may have done so. I always saw men brought to see me by any congressman "or senator. If any man. trust magnate, socialist, lawyer or lergyman had business with' me and wanted to see me, I saw him, and If thought anything could be gained from tho standpoint of public service in seeing any man, then, without wali ng for him to ask, I sent for him. If nm elcctjtl president a year hence. Rockefeller or anyone else wants to see me, i ll see mm ana u i nave nylhlng, to ask for the public service from Rocekfeller. Morgan or anyone lse, I'l send for him." Roosevelt said that during his ad ministration he had sent for Morgan to discuss currency questions and for mere, a socialist, to get suggestions for his platform. "I have sent for trust magnates and prize fighters. 1 have sent for John I Sullivan, Rat ling Nelson and Dr.H Lyman Abbott, he said. He then took up the Harriman mat ter, defending the use of the term 'practical men" In the much-discussed letter. He said his erlort wus to get mctlcal men into politics. "When the use of tho word 'practl- ar Is taken to indicate nn Improper motive on the part of the user, then think there Is some moral weakness n the. man wno -manes m au.ii inn." he said. He read the letter and declared It was "absolutely in compatible with suggesting my getting aid from Harriman." He said nam man telephoned Secretary lxieb on Octnher 20. 1904. wanting to see Roosevelt about the New York state campaign, which was "running had- ly." He made an appointment wun Harriman and Loeb was present dur ing the interview. Harriman told me the - national commHiee nao pieoiy m mmmj asked m to request money from It for the New York state campaign or any other." said the witness. Roosevelt denied ever making the statement that corporations had not ontrlluited to the 1904 campaign. He aid his recent letter to Clapp denied upeelllcally that corporations had been "black-mailed" Into contributing or assured of some kind of favor for ontrlhutlng. Contributions Not Considered I""- roKT, The colonel sold corporation contri butions were not considered Improper in 1904. and that It was public knowl edge that they were being made. "I want to call attention to this fact In connection with the statement of Arehbold ns In the case of Harriman each testified that he got no improper consideration from the administration. Thcv did not complain that the ad ministration did whst it ought not to have done but that V refused to n(. whst It ought not to do. I don't for a minute helleve. as Arehbold testllled, ilntl lillSM :-d to blackmail Arehbold ii h.. ill, I I know nothing of It. I had Toward Big Business. the assurance of Cortelyou yesterday that such a contribution was not made." Referring to Penrose's testimony that he arjvised Arehbold for the Standard jil to submit to blackmail to prevent being subjected to hostility from ceijlaln sources, the colonel said "that coiHd m"e;vrt hostility only from myself,. thiiiittorney-general or the commission filN corporations. They could incur m hostility only if they violated the law. So the action of Penrose was advlc. to protect itself against prosecution for violating the law. The colonel shook his fist at the committee, shouting, ("1 hold that the seriate should throw Penrose out of the senate for the admissions he has made before this committee." He said Arehbold testllled he made a. contribu tion and expected some unusual kind British Submarine Sunk By Liner; 14 Lives Lost Officer in Command Picked up After Going Down with His Craft Struck by the Amerika off Dover Sixth Disaster of the Kind.

Philadelphia, Oct. 4.-Prof. Emory R, Johnson, specialist on commerce mil transportation at the University of Pennsylvania, who has been in the canal zone as the personal represen tative of President Taft, has returned and Immediately started on the ex haustive report he will make to the president. One of Prof. Johnson's recommen dations is that the canal shall be made self-supporting from the outset He estimates the annual lixed charges at $15,600,000. For the first decade he sets the tonnage al 10,500.000 and for the second decade at 27.000,000. With this nrosoectlve tonnage. ' which is based on movement of vessels for the last fifty years. It should be easy to fix tolls that would bring an an nual revenue of f 15,500.000. The canal would have Its own rules for the measurement of vessels ac cording to Prof. Johnson, and he now is at work on a system which he will recommend. He said that the net ton nage, which will be about 70 per cent of the gross, would probably be harg ed upon, and that 2 1-2 per cent would be deducted for vessels pass ing through In ballast. f;acn tou cu bic feet probably would be reckoned as a ton, and the charge probably would be about 25 cents a hundred cublo feet. Prof. Johnson thinks that allowing American coastwise vessels to las through the canal free Is a mighty poor sort of a subsidy, which iwould red ii e the tolls about $2,500,000 a year without compensating bcnellt. lie suggested that It would, bo better to give $2,500,000 direct to selected American lines sailing from Ameri can iiorts.

WALSH LOSES HIS LIFE TRIG A SPIRAL CURE Fifty Thousand People See Young Aviator DroT 2000 Feet to Death. Trenton. N. J., Oct. 4. With 50,000 persons watching him at the inter state fair grounds yesterday afternoon, Charles I". Walsh, while making a spiral descent In a Curtlss biplane fell 2000 feet to Instant death, about a quarter of a mile outside of the fair grounds. When physicians reached him Walsh was dead and his machine was a complete wreck. Practically every bono In his body was broken and his face and body were badly cut Walsh had heen giving exhibitions at the fair all wek, and this year, for the first time, was doing fancy stums In the air with his machine. He was very high, probably, 5000 feet, as he began his descent. He was making spiral descent with the front of the machine pointed almost downward when the upper plane seemed to be come loose. Walsh could plainly be seen struggling to regain his balance but without any result. The machine made a rapid descent to the earth and the large number' of spectators real ized that Walsh had lost control of his machine and that death was Immi nent. The nccldent had a -depressing effect upon the audience at the fair grounds nnd within a few minutes nearly half of those that saw him fall began an exodus towards the gates. Walsh's body was brought to a morgue In this city, and Secretary Margerunl of the fair association gave orders for the abandonment of other tlights, scheduled for the day.

A .detachment of :I00 Turkish sol diers, according to the dispatch, cross ed into Servian territory and in the neighborhood of the town of Vranya encountered a body of Servian infan try. ..' An engagement ensued which lasted an hour. Hostilities between the Ralkan states and Turkey have begun, ac cording to reports from many quar ters. A dispatch to the Russian gov ernment says the -.-Bulgarians are crossing the frontier. Military action has thus outstripped slower footed diplomacy, for no ulti matum has yet been presented to Tur key and In Constantinople none Is ex pected until Monday. The porte. however, has sent an official notifica tion to the powers, which reads: 'In view of the manifestly aggres sive attitude of the Balkan states Tur key . reserves to Itself full liberty of action, convinced that the civilized world will not fail to do justice to Im moderate attitude.. Rut this cannot exclude care for safe guarding Its dignity and scarcity, as well as its rltihts."
