Arch bold, of the Standard Oil Company, In 1N. Senator Penrose admitted receiving that sum from Mr. Arehbold, but said It waa part of a contribution of $ 125. 0O0 made by Arehbold to the Republi can National campaign fund. $100,000 of which amount, he aald, went to the Republican National committee and $25,000 to himself for use in Penn sylvania.

Miss, then treasurer of the National Committee, asked for an other contribution of $150,000 from Arehbold and hla associates "Interest ed In the Standard Oil Company." "The demand was urged, Insistent I may any Imperative and It was re ported It came direct from President Roosevelt," declared Senator Penrose, forcefully. William Fllnn, Roosevelt leader In Pennsylvania, waa scored by Penrose. The Senator charged that In 1904, Fllnn offered him and Iracl W. Dur ham "$1,000,000 or $2,000,000" if they would favor hla candidacy to the Sen ate to succeed Senator Quay. Senator Penroso read what purported to be copiea of telegrams to show that Fllnn asked John D. Arehbold to asalst htm In securing the election.

The Senator aald he waa a member of the National Committee and chairman of the Fenn aylvanla atate committee and conduct ed the campaign in Pennsylvania. "Mr. President, Is thia Ingratitude, mendacity or political aphasia?" he demanded. A ripple of laughter greeted this question and Penrose settled Into hla seat. Serintor Paeon asked to whom the $2,000,000 was to be paid by the "cttl ren who wanted to be elected to the Senate?" "I suppose either to Mr. Durham or mvself," responded Mr. Penroso. "We did not get that far In the considera tion of the business. SENATE SUSTAINS TAFT STEEL VETO WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.

He said that when the Re publican party, through its progres sive associates bad reached a point where It would "respond to the pur poses for which It waa born," an at tempt waa made at Chicago to divert It Senator Stone asked Mr. La Fol lette whether he meant the nojJna tion of President Taft or the nomina tion of former President Roosevelt "I am surprised," began Senator La Follette, "that I left the Senator from Missouri In doubt I hope I did not leave doubt In the mind ot cnyone else." Then, moving down the center aisle, he continued: "On the day that Theodore Roose velt waa made President of the Unit ed States there were 149 trusts and combinations in the United States When he turned this Government ov er to William Howard Taft there were 10,020 plants In combination. When he became President the trusts bad an aggregate capitalization of three bil lion dollars and when be left the Pres idency tbey had an aggregate capital ization of thirty-one billion and more tban 70 per cent of Its was water. "The present administration has sought to apply tbe anti-trust law more vigorously than its predecessor; but the time to have applied the Sher man anti-trust law effectively was In the infancy ot these trusts, when there were only 149. "I don't believe that the man who was President at the time of all times in the history of the Sherman anti trust law when it could have been made potential in deterring trust or ganizationI do not think that the man who waa President then la the man to find the way out now." Then turning to Senator Stone, Sen ator La Follette inquired. "Does that answer the Senator from Missouri?" 'That does fairly well," responded Senator Stone, dryly.

The United States embassy received today a re ply from the British foreign office to President Taft's Invitation to the British Government to participate in the Panama-Pacific Exposition.

No hint Is given In the reply In re spect to other possible Influences which may affect the British decision but It Is evident that a loophole baa been left for British refusal of the Invitation on account ot possible un favorable canal legislation.

M. James Is to take place. Superintendent James expects a good many entries for the district and he believes that a baby show In con nection will prove a big attraction. There will be three classes: Babies up to 6 months. Babies from 6 month to 1 year. Babies from 1 year up to 2 years. Tbe judges will be physiclana and nurses, those most competent to de termine physical perfection, lesa at tention being paid to beauty than health. Of course a combination of beauty and health will be a winner. It has been suggested that the win ner of the local contest be sent to the atate fair, where the child may en ter into compettlon with bablea from all over the state. Estacada has many fine babies and It is believed a repre sentative from that district would win In tbe state contest LAW IS APPROVED CITIZENS, INTERESTED IN EDU CATION, URGE ITS PASSAGE AT NEXT ELECTION CAMPAIGN FOR MEASURE PLANNED Defeat Two Years Ago Ascribed To Misunderstanding Many Thought It Provided County High Schools About twenty representative citi zens ot all sections of Clackamas County, at a meeting in the county court room Saturday afternoon, went on record as favoring the adopting of the high school fund law. The meet ing, which waa presided over "by County School Superintendent Gary, was harmonious throughout and it was the consensus of option that the law passed by the legislature four years ago should be approved by the voters of this county. The law. If put Into practice, will mean a high school education for virtually every boy and girl In Clackamas County. Under its provisions tbey will not have to leave home to obtain a high school educa tion. The law provides that any district that can maintain a high school may draw from the county high school fund $40 for each student up to twen ty and for the next twenty $30 each. All over that the charge will not be more than $12.50. Representatives of Estacada, Canby Molalla, Macksburg, Mllwaukle, Glad stone, Parkplace, Willamette and oth er sections attended the meeting. Mr. Gary announced that the question would be submitted to the voters at the next election and said he waa con fident It would be passed if thorough ly understood. It was defeated two years r.go by a narrow margin, the superintendent explaining, that many voters thought the law provided for county high schools. Among those fa voring the proposition, who made speeches, were Robert Glnther, can didate of the Socialist Party for Coun ty School Superintendent; Superin tendent of the Oregon City Schools Tooze; A. M. Vineyard, of Canby; W. W. Everhart, of Molalla: Charles X. Kracksberger .of Macksburg; Captain J. E. Apperson, of Parkplace; E. P. Carter, of Gladstone, Robert Goetz, of Mllwaukle and H. M. James, of Esta cada. Plans for an educational campaign were outlined, and it was decided that meetings should be held In every dis trict In the county in the interest of the high schools. Circular letters will be given the pupils to give to their parents. The high school law, which was passed four years ago by the legislature, must be approved by the voters of the various counties be fore It can become effective. Among the counties that have approved the law, and find it a distinct advantage, are Lane. Linn, Polk, Marlon. Yam hill, Jackson and Umatilla, That it will be approved by the voters of Clackamas County at the coming elec tion Is generally Relieved. 18 WHEAT E Frank Jaggar, of Cams, who has been threshing wheat and oats throughout the county, said Thursday that there was not more than two third's of an average wheat crop and about an average crop of oats.

They are contemplating building a pavilion tor annual displays of this kind. .

"Canby, the home of the County Fair will hold the juvenile fair In the Clackamas County Fair Pavilion and will have an attractive ball game dur ing the day. "The Commercial Club of Oregon City has generously given the beaut iful club rooms for the fair at that place.

'The interest at Wilgonville la most commendable. Doors will open at 9 o'clock and there will be some thing ot Interest all day and evening. There will be speakers from the O. A. C. and elsewhere and a musical and literary program by the people of the district. "Oswego haa the disadvantage of having a very small fair district but they are not daunted by difficulties and are going to bave a very com mendable display and a royal good time. "The fair at Milwaukle, because of the large number ot children inter ested and the complete organization of the forces will no doubt be a pro nounced success.
