SUCH -THE PREDICTION V:v:' It is Said That He Will Immediately Put on Foot Another Investigation of Mergers ' of Various Harriman Lines National Publicity Bill Or ganization to Meet. (By Leased Wire to The TlAies.) Netf- York, April 4. President Roosevelt will immediately proceed to hit back at E. H. Harriman by put ting on foot another investigation of the mergers and combinations of the various Harriman railway lines. ThiB is tho prediction made by the men who know both in New 'York and Washington. They say that Roosevelt Is a good hater, and that he will not rest until oe has exhausted every means for the humiliation and punishment of the man who says the president solicited him for a political fund of J 200,000 during the campaign of 1904. The (president's retaliatory plan may go so far as an appeal to the federal courts of New. York state for an order compelling Mr. Harriman to answer a score of questions which ho refused . to answer, "by advice of counsel," Then he was under ezaml nation by the Interstate commerce commission a Yew weeks ago, is the opinion of the railroad attorneys. , One of the first decisive develop ment, of the Harriman-Koosovelt-eon-trbversy caine when a tteetlng'of the -national .. pubUcity bill ; organisation was called by Secretary, Perry Bel mont. The meeting was made pertinent by the exposures ot enormous con tributions related by Mr. Harriman In his letter to his friend, Sidney Webster, and backed up in his public statement aimed against Roosevelt. Its purpose will be the further advo cacy of a law compelling the publi cation of campaign contributions and expenses by the national and con gressional committees of both parties. THE PRESIDENT WELCOMES HARRIMAN AS AN ENEMY. Washington, April 4. "From now on. It will be a fight in the open be tween the president and his enemies. The time for beating about the bush has ended, and all the world will be able to see the prettiest scrap that has been pulled off for many years." This was the comment today of a high administration official who stands very close to the president. Continuing he said: , "The president cordially welcomed the opportunity of placing Harriman In. the list of his enemies. Instead of saying in his speech hereafter that he despises demagogues of all kinds, he will come boldly out and declare that he hates men like Harriman. He has placed him on the same level with Debbs, Moyer and Haywood. The very fact that Mr. Harriman's future opposition to him will have to be in the full light of day is very gratifying to the president. He feels that the enmity of such a man is to be courted. " Certainly so long as Harriman stands for what hedoes, he (the president) doe not' want his friends. The people at large will Choose between them and will make no mistake." . . That the president likes a red-hot roufh-and tumble fight, - every one knowirahd he is not at all backward In admitting the soft impeachment of himself. . In his interview -with, the Washington,, newspaper correspond ents yesterday he stated, an incident that totk place while he was assist ant secretary of the navy.
