WASHINGTON-, Sept. 30. Cornel
ius N. Bliss, son of the late Cornel
ius N. Bliss and treasurer of the
republican national campaign com
mittee In 1904, . was the first wit
ness to be called before the investi
gating committee today. Bliss said
that there was nothing found among
his father's papers to show that the
Standard Oil Co. had contributed
$125,000 to Roosevelt's campaign
fund in 1904. Bliss read a letter
from his father to Henry New,' of
Indiana, In which the treasurer stat
ed that he had refused to make pub-
lie Jits 'accounts of the campaign
expenditures because he believed the
contributors were entitled to privacy
in the matter. Tills letter said the
. receipts for the campaign totaled ?2,
088,000, besides $107,000 left over
from the 1900 campaign. Witness
testified that his father had destroy
ed all books and papers relating to
his work as treasurer for the com
mittee just before his death. Let
ters from Taft, then secretary of war,
to Roosevelt, asking him to become
national chairman In 1904, were
read by Bliss.
