COMMITTEE IS AROUSED Clapp an OlWer Demand Wordfl Be Withdrawn Elmer Dover j Presents Memorandum . of Contributions. WASHINGTON. Oct. IS. MedlU Mo Cormtck, of Chicago, today read a pre pared statement touching: upon the at tempted assassination of Colonel Roosevelt, declaring: it had been Incited by "falsehoods of character assassins and liars like Charles D. Hilles." " The statement was made before the Clapp .i.. imMtlntlm camoalgn funds. A storm broke when Mr. Me-, Cormlck said: "It is difficult for an ordinary man in the compass of ordinary language to compete with the testimony of char acter assassins and liars like Mr. Hil les men who, because their faleshoods Incite weak-minded men to actual as sassinations." McCormick argued heat edly that his statement was admissi ble as evidence, while Senators Oliver and Clapp declined to allow McCormick to proceed and demanded that he with draw his words. The statement final. ' ly was admitted to the record without being read from the prepared copy. . Coatrlbntoni Lint Obtained. For the first time of Its investigation the Senate campaign fund committee obtained today a copy of a list of con tributors to the much-disputed 1904-Re-publican campaign fund. Elmer Dover, who was secretary of the 1904 Repub lican committee, put the list in evi dence, saying it had been copied from i the private memorandum book of the late Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the committee. He told the investi gators he believed that in many in stances the list- was inaccurate and ambiguous, owing to typographical er rors. It totalled J3.28CT.018 and showed vir tually all the contributions of the 1904 fund which have been mentioned in the committee's Investigation. The list credited J. P. Morgan & Co. with two contributions, one of $100,000 and one of $50,000. A contribution of $100,009 appeared on the list from "H. II. K." and "J. D. AV." Dover Explains Initials. Mr. Dover told the committee he supposed the "H. H. R." stood for H. II. Rogers, of the Standard Oil Com pany, and that the "J. D. "W." was an I error and should have been the initials ; ; of either John D. Archbold or John D. Rockefeller. E. H. Harriman was credited with . $150,000 in two contributions. George ; AV. Perkins appeared as giving $35,000 In two contributions. The following entries were on the list, "G. W. P.," $25,000; "G. W. P." $100,000 and "G. W. P. committee" $100,000. There was still 'another entry, "G. W. P. committee," $100 000. Two contributions of $25,000 each credited to "C. N. Bliss for P. R." were on this list. George J. Gould appeared as giving $100,000. The committee tried in vain to get any information as to campaign con . - tri buttons from Colonel George Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly. He said be ' knew absolutely nothing of funds col ; Iflcted or of attempts to collect funds or of offers of funds to the Wilson pre convention campaign. A gruelling cross-examination, by Senator Oliver ; failed to bring out any statement about the much-discussed Harvey-Wilson -Thomas F. Ryan incident.

"Aw, your honor." he said, "why don't you let me explain this? It would only take five minutes. If we keep up this foolishness it will take two hours."

The question was stricken out and Sullivan made another appeal to the court. "Everything I want to tell has been stricken out," he complained, "but when I was with the District Attorney there was no one to object and they asked what they wanted to." Mr. Mclstyre turned the witness over to Mr. Moss for cross-examination. Sullivan became combative when Mr. Moss asked if he had ever given bail for criminals. "I object to that question," shouted the witness. He was directed to an swer and said he had given bail only for "crapshooters," but never for "any thing worse." , . Sullivan was soon shouting at the top of his voice and refused to be sub dued. "Weren't you interested in a crap game at 98 Second avenue?" asked Mr. Moss. . Sullivan Denies Rnnninn Game.

Winter supplies for Wallowa County sheep men whose herds" pass the cold months on Snake River, will be taken In by the all water route from Portland. The goods will go up the Columbia River, up the Snake to Lewlston by regular boats, and thence to destination on the gasoline craft Prospector, which has been running on the upper river since early Sum mer. As wagon roads are unknown in the Snake River country. In this part of its course, it has been necessary since the first settlement of the coun try, to take In supplies on paok horses. But the river boats now seem to offer a cheaper route. The two largest outfits running sheep on the river have combined in their purchases and thus will be able to make up a considerable shipment These outfits are Graves and Litch, and Crate and Hanson. They will make their purchases through Enterprise merchants, but the Portland whole salers will put the consignments on board boat Instead of shipping here by rail. , Short Course Leaders to Be Six.
