Barker Promises Senate Blowup On Money Trust
Wharton Barker testified before the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee alleging a New York financier warned in 1904 that financial interests would back Roosevelt after scaring him into a railroad deal. He claimed Aldrich currency plans arose from Warburton, with a $1,000,000 fund and a scheme to boost royalties for rail interests. Barker said Roosevelt knew of the panic of 1907 details in advance and said a major money king foretold a 1904 Roosevelt win and railroad actions.
