Sating committee this morning that
Theodore Roosevelt in 1904 invited
.ward Harrunan to the White House
to talk about funds for the political j
campaign and in a few days .the rail-
way financier advised that he had
secured a fund amounting to $240000
and then turned it over to. the nation

O'Dell's story of the Harriman con-
tribution was so different from that
of George R. Sheldon that the com.-
mitteenien asked him for an explana-
tion and he replied that the Republi-
can treastlrer "Bliss (1904) might have
"told some white lies" to Sheldon.
Sheldon became treasurer in 1908
and he said that Bliss and Harriman
had arranged a contribution and that
Roosevelt did not know about it un-
til after the election.

Veto Wild Excitement' in
Hoase.
Washington. D. C. Aug. 1 1. Presi
dent Taft today vetoed the Steel Bill.
In inessase regarding same he said
that he disapproved of tflve measure
because- it provided for revenue only-
ami toolc no account of the protection i
of American industries.
Yest onlay by the' narrow margin of
five votes the House passed the wool
tariff revision bill over tlie President's
veto. Tlie vote when counted stood
174 to SO and was made possible only
by the defection of twenty one Re-
publicans who voted with the demo-
crats. The announcement of the result of
the vote created a wildr scene in the
House and amidst- the 'graitestconfus-
tion the republican speakers protested (
f 3
that Speaker Ckark must count as vot-!
ing ten niemhurs who answered "pres-
ent" to their names a ruling which
would have defeated the democratic
margin over the necessary two thirds.
Th sjeaker tleclined to heed their
'protest.
Deihocratrc and progressive leadei-s
of the Senate do not believe tliat the
wool bill can 'be Kissed in tlwf body
over tho veto of the president but
Lhoy will continue the demand for ac
tion on the cotton measure:
The vote on the wool bill by which
the veto of the president was over-
ruled came as a surprise to the re-
publican lenders 'in the House. When
they discovered hhat defection from
their ranks -was to Ik expected It was
too late to prevent it
Not in 13ve momlory of the oldest
member of the House lias a tariff
