' DUPONT OFFER DECLINED Powder Men Desirous of Helping, but Xo Way Is Seen Total of Republican Fund. 1.55, 618, Already Published. WASHINGTON. July 17. Preslden Taffs campaign fund of 1908 was th oubject of Inquiry today by the Senat committee Investigating the political was chests of that campaign and of Alton B. Parker, fonr year before. Postmaster General Hitchcock, chair man of the Aepubllcan committee In 1908. told the Senatora no contribution was accepted from any corporation, and that the committee, had declined 120.000 from T. Coleman Dupont, of Delaware, because the Government then was at taekina- the powder trust. Moreover, Congress had forbidden corporation contributions. The total of the Republican fund was tl.6S5.518. Mr. Hitchcock said, and he reminded the Senatora that those fig ures were disclosed in the report filed In Albany In conformity with the laws of New York. To ha ct- Trast Not Cnatrlhator. Neither the Tobacco Trust nor any of Its stockholders that Mr. Hitchcock knew of contributed. Some stockhold ers of the Steel Corporation and somt of the International Harvester Com pany, among the latter, George W. Perkins, gave to the fund. Mr. Hitchcock went Into details con rernlng the offer of financial assist ance made by General Dupont, who went to the committee with $20,000. "He turned It over to the Treasurer. George R. Sheldon. began Hitchcock. "When I learned of it I told Mr. Du pont I did not think we could accept It, because the Government had a civil suit against a corporation In which ha was Interested. I Instructed the Treas urer to return It. and he did so." Hitchcock said General Dupont de clared he felt twe was not doing bis part and asked If he could not give the money in some way. Hitchcock said he replied In the negative. "I am positive he did not contribute it to any other fund, he added, be cause I have talked to General Dupont about it since the campaign. He said that when the fund was returned he considered he had given it to a cause and placed it on special deposit. Snail Coatrllrations Desired. Hitchcock insisted that with the ex ception of about 25 all the contribu tions were below (5000. "We figured that the more persons we could get to Invest, the more inter est they would take In the success of the venture," explained the former chairman. Before the system of collecting money by finance committees organ ized in each state was put into oper ation. Hitchcock said. fortunately friends of the party came forward with large contributions. The first "friends' he mentioned In that connection were Charles P. Taft. brother of President Tart, who contributed S30.000; William Nelson Cromwell, 925.000; Mr. and Mrs. Lars Anderson. 125,000; Andrew Car uegie. 120,000; William Smith Cochran, 115.000; Frank Munsey, $10,000; White law Rfld. $10,000; M. C. Borden. $10,- 000, and General Corbin, for a number of persons, $10,000. Senator Paynter asked Hitchcock if be were acquainted with any of the stockholders of the International Har vester Company. He said he knew the Mt-Cormlcks. Krank ' Munsey. George Perkins and Clarence S. Punk. "Did Mr. Perkins contribute?" asked the Senator. "I do not thlrftc so." "Did the McCormicks?" "Not that I remember. They would be more likely to contribute to your party, sir. DUFUR HIGH SCHOOL SURE Voters Authorize Institution at Spe cial Election. DUFfR, On, July 17. (Special.) Be ginning with the Fall term, Dufur Is to have a complete high school course. In connection with its public school sys tem. Heretofore the tenth grade has been the most advanced course of studies offered. The District School Board called a special election at which the voters de cided almost unanimously to maintain the full number of crrades prescribed for schools offering; the complete high ichool course. Heretofore many students have se cured the last two years of their high school course elsewhere, but now this will be unnecessary and also It is be lieved that the added school advantages will attract families to this city as well as scholars from the surrounding com munities. Steps for the enlargement of the present school building are to be taken at once so that all will be in readiness for the opening in September. "-"-I.- ":p W&XSWlS flllllllll 'i' pillllll ;L,i..n. .

July 17. (Special.) Sullen, unruly and a persistent dls turber of prison discipline. J. B. Mc Namara, elder of the McNamara broth era, confessed dynamiters of the Times building, is passing- a long period in a dungeon at San Quentin: a cell Into which but a bit of sunlight pene trates and where the sound of human voices is seldom heard. There he must wait until the dawn- ng of a desire to conform himself to the requirements of his station in life. Long hours of solitary confinement have had no effect thus far, the prison authorities say, but they expect to bring the convict to submission. Ptiao.er Resists Discipline. McNamara refuses to obey orders, is awless in his demeanor and will not submit to discipline, according to ac counts received from the prison offi cials by Deputy Sheriff Manning, who returned from the North today. Mc Namara would not do his dally work in the jute mill. He Is also believed to have been a ringleader In the re cent uprising of convicts and It la aus pected he knows a good deal oi the conspiracy to burn the Jute mill and its valuable machinery. 'The prison authorities have found B. a bad actor," said Manning. "He causes all the trouble he possibly can. He assumes a sneering attitude all the time. He will remain in the dungeon until thoroughly submissive, the off! lals assured me. Insanity Plea Suggested. It has been suggested that he is trying to lay a foundation for an In sanity plea at some later date, but the officials declare It is a plain case of natural cussedness cropping out. John J. AlcNamara, on the other and, is proving a model prisoner and as tried to Influence his brother In that direction, but to no purpose. Both the McNamaras are In good health. HAN SEES VICTORY HARMOXY EXISTS IX RANKS OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Delegate Tells of Weary Honrs in Taking 4 6 Ballots Says Wil son Won Fairly. "With the nomination of Woodrow Wilson as candidate for the Presi dency on- the Democratic ticket the supporters of Bryan, Clark, Under wood and other aspirants for the nomi nation have acquiesced to the will of the majority and wltb the belief that Wilson la the best man for tbe posi tion are going to strive for his elec tion," declared F. V. Holman. a dele gate to the Democratic convention, who returned yesterday after spending sev eral weeks near Chicago. "I have talked with many people in cluding; Republicans and I have found that they are of the opinion that Wil son is a good man. - I believe con fidently that he will be elected. In the first place It is certain that he will get the votes of all Democrats, progressive or conservative. It is also highly probable that ha will get many progressive Republtcana who are not radicals of the Roosevelt kind. "1 base my opinion on what I have gleaned from conversations with poli ticians In many parts of the East, In cluding Baltimore. New York and Chi cago. I remained In the East until tbe noise of the convention had blown over and I believe that when the polit ical atmosphere grew clear thera was a unanimity of opinion that no mistake was mads by the party In selecting Mr. Wilson. "The convention Itself waa a long, hot and hard one. It la hard to realise what S ballots means without being there to take , part in them. During the first ten ballots I was for Wilson and cast my vote that way. At tha time Clark had a majority and Wilson was trailing behind with less than one third. After ten ballots I turned to Clark and remained with him until Wilson began to gain. I then wen back to him and remained for the last 25 ballots and until he was nominated. Wilson's gains came slowly and for the most part consisted of scattering dele gates. The convention was composed of men who could not be stampeded. "Each of the ballots took about an hour and it 1s possible to tell how we worked when we were in session all one day and night until 7 o'clock next morning. Another day we were In session until 3:30 o'clock in the morning. Wilson's nomination was by good, clean and honest tactics of which there Is no dispute. , TURKISH CABINET IS OUT Members All Quit In Body and Crisis in Affairs Is Feared. CONSTANTINOPLE. July 17. The Turkish Cabinet resigned today In con sequence of the revolt In the army against the methods of the Committee of Union and Progress. It was thought that the vote of con fldence In the Grand Viier. passed by the chamber on Monday, after, he had announced that the Turkish govern ment refused as unacceptable all the proposed conditions of peace with Italy, had given the Cabinet a new lease of life. The feeling, however, against the dictatorial Saloniki committee, which behind the scenes had been preparing the departmental action of the minis ters. was no longer resistible. Mahmond Shefket Pasha's resigna tion of the war office was a protes against the action of the Committee on on Union and Progress, which preemp- torlly, countermanded his orders to the troops to abstain from Interfering In the elections. Military League Active. The military league has rapidly grown and Is pledged to secure the appointment of a new cabinet which will enjoy the confidence of the pow ers. The league la determined to over throw the Committee of Union and Progress, which apparently is losing the vice-like grip it has held on the government and the Turkish Empire since the revolution of four years ago. The news from Albania Is serious. The troops have been 'rebuffed by the Albanians In many directions. Four battalions of Infantry recently were surrounded by the Albanians on the River Kruma, near Dlakovam. In the Vilayet of Kassovo. and more than 300 troops with three of their officers were forced to surrender. They were dls armed and carried off to the rebel fastness. Albanians Beaelge Troops. 4 The remainder of the Turkish trooDS retreated to Dlakova. where they are besieged , by the Albanians. A dispatch from Athens, under' yes terday's date, said it was seml-offl- clally declared there that a serious movement was on among the- Turkish officers and members of the Liberal party In Turkey to place Prince Mejld Effendl, son of former Sultan Mourad. on the Turkish throne, owing to dis content with the Sultan Mahmed Rechad Khan. TAX- CITIZENS ON WEIGHT French Town Adopts Unique Plan to Increase Revenue'. Atlanta Constitution. A small French town In the Pyrenees district has hit upon a novel and, in a way, a distressing plan of solving its problem of taxation. Revenues from ordinary channels have proved Insuffi cient to meet the municipality's budget. The resourceful officials have, there fore, resorted to. the unique scheme of taxing citizens according to sthelr weight. The cltlsen below 13S pounds Is ex empt. From that weight on up the tax steadily rises, until It attains formid able proportions. The man who is ex tremely given to avoirdupois bids fair to be either bankrupted or driven to extreme economies in the matter of cigars and refreshment of a fluid na ture. Either that, or dieting and "banting" will beoome the vogue among the prudent. Failure in these measures, there may be a fresh French revolution, the slo gan being "class legislation." In any event, there will be wholesale taxdodg lng In the little town, with the possi bility of migration to less harsh communities. "Woman Fails to Secure Bail. PASCO, Wash., July 17. 'Special.)
