RECORDS BURNED BY BLISS Accounts Fail to Show Aid by Arch- bold or Standard Oil for Roose­ velt--Son of Party Treas­ urer Senate Inquiry Witness. Washington. Oct. 2.--C. C. Tegethoff, former private secretary to the late E. H. Harriman, testified before the sen­ ate committee investigating campaign fund donations here Monday. Mr Tegethoff produced a ser ie? of papers f rom the Harr iman estate f i les . The f i rs t was a receipt s igned by C. N. Bl iss as t reasurer of th« ' nat ional Republ ican commit tee , dated 1904. I t was for $50,000, which Mr Teirethoff eaid was Mr. Harr iman ? contr ibut ion to the Republ ican campaign fund of 1904. Then Mr. T e g e t h o f f put in the rec­ ord a series ©f letii rs in which Presi­ dent Roosevelt asKi d K H. Harriman to visit him at ihe ^ bite House dur­ ing the fall and winter of 1903. Let­ ters continued up to May 17, when President Roosevelt wrote asking Har­ riman if he could ' "ake lunch with me on Monday, May I'li." The date, according to a rapid ex­ change of letters produced, was final­ ly fixed for Wednesday evening, May 25, when Mr. Harriman consented to dine at the White House. In a subsequent letter written by William Loeb, then secretary to the president, it was set forth that "Sec­ retary of State Knox, Mr. Oortelytm. and Senator Murray Crane would also be present" Cornelius NT. Bliss, Jr., was the first witness. Under examination by Senator Payn- ter the witness said that his father had told him he allowed the books'of the treasurer's office of the Republican national committee to be destroyed because he, the elder Bliss, believed the records useless. "Have you found any papers bear­ ing on the campaign funds handled by your father?" asked Chairman Clapp. Mr. Bliss placed in evidence a re­ port from the auditor who examined his father's accounts when he re­ signed as treasurer of the Republican committee. He said the records did not show any contribution by John D. Archbold or the Standard Oil com­ pany. Members of the committee ex­ amined the records.

BALKAN CRISIS IS MENACING Bulgaria and Servia Mobilizing Troops While Turkey Is Concentrating 100,000 on Frontier. London, Oct. 2.--War between Bul­ garia and Servia on the one side and Turkey on the other seems unavoid­ able, according to dispatches received here Monday from Sofia and from Athens. Proclamations have been is­ sued by both the Bulgarian and Ser­ vian governments calling for general mobilization of their armies, while Turkey is concentrating all available forces, 100,000 men, consisting of eleven divisions of the "Redifs" or re­ serves, in the vicinity of Adrianople and along the Bulgarian frontier. Reports from Sofia indicate that crowds in the streets have grown to thousands, all demanding war at once, while Turkey troops ordered from Thrace into Albania have been ordered back to their stations, so that no re­ inforcements have been sent to Salo- nica, the Dardanelles or Smyrna for use against the Italians. Here in London the Balkan situa tion is regarded as decidedly serious, only the lateness of the season and the efforts of the powers to keep the peace staving off immediate war. Lawrencc.'Mass., Oct. 1.--Leaders of a procession of 5,000 textile strik­ ers closing in on a squad of police­ men who, with drawn revolvers, had attempted to force them to disband, stabbed one officer in the back, crushed in the head of another with a blow from a club and seriously In­ jured several more Sunday. Hundreds of shots were fired during the street battle and in the rioting that followed. The police were com- 1 pletely routed and the strikers con­ tinued their parade. The streets are i crowded with strikers and more trouble is feared. The city, which is largely composed of mill workers, is ; practically in a state of insurrection. Three thousand of the workers had gathered at the railroad station to wel­ come several hundred visiting sympa­ thetic workers from nearby mill towns who had come to indorse the twenty- four-hour strike which began Sunday. After the arrival of the train 5,000 of the workmen and their sympathizers formed in line to march to the cen­ ter of the city. At their head was Carlo Presca, a prominent member of the Industrial Workers of the World, waving a red flag. A squad of police­ men was rushed out to meet the marchers, with orders to disperse them. The marchers refused to break step. The policemen drew their re­ volvers and charged. The crowd fell back as they saw the weapons, but gaining courage as Presca and his aides spurred them on, they closed in on the officers, many of them with drawn revolvers, and a pitched battle ensued. Policeman Thomas McCarlle and Special Officer Ludwlg seized Presca. Firing their revolvers into the air, the officers were about to es­ cape with the prisoner between them when McCarlle fell to the sidewalk with two stab wounds In the back. A moment later Ludwig collapsed from a blow on the head from a club. The assailants made their escape. Freed, Presca waved his red flag aloft again and exhorted his followers to shoot to kill. The workers began a twenty-four- hour strike Sunday as a protest against the imprisonment of Joseph Ettor, Arturo Giovannltti and Joseph Caruso, who are to be tried separately for the murder of Anna Lopizzo.

FEDERALS GAINING CONTROL Senate Subcommittee Which Has Been Probing Affairs in Republic Has Practically Concluded its La­ bors and Report Is Ready. Washington, Sept. 30.--That the United States will land marines and bluejackets at Vera Cruz, Mex., vfith- in the next few days unless revolution­ ary disturbances in that section cease was stated by several 6tate depart­ ment officials on Friday, who admitted they were worried at the conditions in eastern and central Mexico. The Madero government, having successfully quelled the revolt in the northern part of the republic, has ap­ parently driven all the Zapatistas and a few of Orozco's followers into the neighborhood of Vera Cruz, and con ditions there are reported as being very bad. The opportune arrival of the Amer­ ican gunboat Des Moines at Vera Crux came as a welcome relief to the state department 'officials, who feared for the safety of Americans and their property there. Reports from the extreme southern and northern sections of the republic indicate that the federals are gaining control of the situation. Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 30.--The senate subcommittee which has been investigating the affairs of Mexico for the past two years, the period taking in the Madero and Orozco rebellions, practically concluded its labors at the Hotel Alexandria on Friday and will in the future submit its report and recommendations .to the senate com­ mittee on foreign relations. The re­ port will be a voluminous document and will set forth these three impor­ tant features: That the evidence produced before the Investigators points to the neces­ sity for the United States to inter­ vene In Mexico in order that Amerl cans and American interests be pro­ tected. That the evidence proves conclus­ ively that no American money was J used In financing the Orozco rebel- j lion. That the evidence tends to estab­ lish the claim that American funds were used to finance the Madero rev­ olution, and the report will point the finger of suspicion at two large cor­ porations. Positive proof of the lat­ ter, however, may not be forthcom­ ing. TYPHOON KILLS 300 TERRIFIC 8TORM HOLDS SOUTH­ ERN JAP£N IN ITS GRASP.

BABY IN MISERY WITH RASH Monroe, Wis.--"When my baby was six weeks old there came a rash on his face which finally spread until It got nearly all over his body.

On face and body it was in a dry form and would scale off. He was in great mis­ ery and at nights I would lie awake holding his hands so that he could not scratch and disfigure himself. I tried simple refnedies at first, then got medicine, but it did no good. "Finally a friend suggested Cutlcura Remedies, so I sent for a sample to see what they would do, when to my Burprise after a few applications I could see an Improvement, and he would rest better.
