By Associated Pies WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—George R. 8 of the Republican’ National — * Committee today that in 1904 ma $100,000, J. P. Morgan & Co. $100,000, H. ce * George J. Gould $100,000. Sheldon said he had no personal knowledge: tions, but that the late. Cornelius Ni ‘a, shown him his report. ‘* Whe ‘Was a mtribution made re the them Chauncey 1 as any co Standard Oil Co:?” ‘Yes, sir.’ “How much?” **$100,000,”” | In Archbold’s Name, Sheidon said the Standard Oil .con- tribution. was not on the list as com- ing from the oil company, but it was charged to John D. Archbold. “Do you remember any other large contributions?” asked Senator Oliver. “Yes, J. P. Morgan & Co. gave $100,- 000; H. C. Frick, $100,000, and George J. Gould, $100,000,” answered Sheldon. “lJ remember those because of their size. I do not recollect any others.” George B. Cortelyou, who was chair- man of the Roosevelt Campaign Com-: mittee, has testified that the fund was about $1,900,000.

Senator John M. Dixon, Col. velt’s political manager, had a sto session with the committee. He testi- fied he had spent $96,000 in the Pro- gressive primary campaign, which was not included in the figures presented yesterday by Progressive Treasurer E. H. Hooker. Senator Dixon renewed his charge that the investigation was being di- rected at Col. Roosevelt more than any other candidate, and challenged the committee to call Charles P. Taft, Thomas Fortune Ryan and others he} named, who, he said, he had been in- formed, had made heavy expenditures ¥ é or Gov. Harmon. Senator Dixon said he had kept no ac- curate record of his expenditures. He said $%,000 had come from George W. Perkins, $25,000 from Frank A. Munsey and $25,000 fom Dan R. Hanna, and ‘that “whenever we got desperately — up I went back to Perkins.” with members of the committed, 4
