2 LAWS GOVERNING CAMPAIGN FUNDS ARE INADEQUATE BY DAVID lAWBENCE (Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.) CHICAGO, Aug. 31. —About all that the investigation of campaign finance by tne United States senate has re vealed thus far and probably all that it ever will reveal—is that the laws of the United States and the indi vidual states do not adequately pro tect the American people against corruption. . Both the Republican and Demo cratic leaders who have testitied make it clear that there is no way of telling just how money is raised inside tne states for national pur poses either by organizations ostensi bly independent of the regularly formed political committees of the states of the union such as the Hughes alliances of 1916, or the Anti-Saloon league or the liquor deal ers’ associations or any other insti tutions interested in electing or de feating the candidates of the differ ent parties. Neither Homer S. Cummings, re tiring national chairman of the Dem ocratic committee, nor Will Hays, the Republican chairman, was willing to impute motives of corruption to his respective political foes and while there was an occasional colloquy that seemed for the moment sharp, the best of feeling and good nature characterized the investigation. One almost got the impression that the Republicans and Democrats who or ganized the campaigns would breathe a sigh of relief if laws were enacted to prevent independent organizations from doing things which the national committees today are powerless to prevent being done either in the name of Republicanism or Democ racy. Indeed. Senator Spencer, Re publican, asked Homer Cummings to make some suggestions of possible legislation that would purify elec tions and he indicated that it wouldn’t take him and Will Hays long to draft such proposals based on their respective experiences. Cumming's Gives Views Mr. Cummings was very useful ~ to the Republican senators who drew tx from •him frank answers concerning .» the limitations of campaign funds in federal and state organizations. In ~ the first place, Mr. Cummings sav nothing wrong with Will Hays’ .• budget of $3,000,000, but said he be lieved anything much beyond that .. would be “manifestly excessive.” He w wouldn’t agree to Senator Edge’s , suggestion, seconded by Will Hays. . that everything had practically dou i bled in cost since the 1916 campaign and that if both Democrats and Re publicans spent two and a half mil lion dollars in that year it would ..-‘not be excessive if they needed much more than that this time. Mr. Cum mings said that he believed an addl '-Z' tion of $500,000 this year to the Democratic fund of $2,300,000 in 1916 would be an adequate estimate For ““ 1920 for either party. Pressed for his line of reasoning, the Democratic leader brought out significantly that, much money is wasted in advertising and in other directions in the last weeks of a sp campaign which if contracted for earlier or by competent persons would mean economy of a quarter of a million of dollars. He implied that g- efficiency and the benefits of expres ” sions would more than make up in [ economies what the rise in costs of ? eupplies today would entail. ; Senator Reed jumped back into the Democratic party again and cross examined witnesses from the view point of Governor Cox. For instance he compelled Will Hays to admit that while the Republican national ; committee had nothing to do directly t or indirectly with the publication by William Barnes, of New York, of a • Republican campaign book, neverthe less that volume for which some of the largest corporations in the United States had subscribed liberal sums or njoney was a “concurrent” effort that helped the Republican campaign just as any other political propa ganda. But Republican senators were I quick to suggest that this might happen on the Democratic side with out the power of the Democratic leaders to stop such an enterprise. Hays Explains The examination of all witnesses revealed how little value attaches to the certificates filed by the national committees of both parties showing campaign expenditures. While m many instances the national organi zation acts as a collection agency for state committees and actually turns back large sums of money for state uses, both Mr. Hays and Mr. Cum mings developed the fact that nobody knows how much the state commit tees collect for use inside the states without making a statement of any sort to the national organizations. Mr. Hays denied absolutely that the quotas which Governor Cox has said were set for fifty-one cities totaling more than $8,000,000 were the Repub lican figures. He refused to give the exact quotas, leaving that to Fred W. Upham to supply. In reply to questions about several states or cities Mr. Hays professed not to re member a single quota. All he would say was that Governor Cox’s alleged quotas were false. Mr. Hays would only admit this much: “At different periods different quo tas have been suggested by the treas urer’s office as tentative goals in dif ferent states, and the state commit tees themselves have fixed different quotas. These are changing constant ly and always, of course, were made very much higher than the amount either necessary or anticipated. The fact is, quotas mean very little.” Some of the Democratic leaders afterwards said Will Hays’ argument on quotas would prove troublesome to the Republicans after this investi gation was concluded for it was not in accord, they declared, with the line of reasoning adopted by Senator Harding and Chairman Good, of the house committee on appropriations, who base much of their praise for the last Republican congress on the state ment that congress cut down by at least two billion dollars the quotas Or estimates made by the ten govern ment departments of the sums they wanted to get from congress. The departments always do what Mr. Hays said his committee did—they ask for more than they expect tp get. He says the mere asking for large quotas isn’t of importance. It’s the amount actually raised or authorized .'-to be spent. Mr. Hays declares his "budget does not authorize an expendi -ture of more than $3,076-,000. That’s -the sum his bureaus are permitted to ’ appropriate though only about a mil lion dollars in cash actually has .’been turned in. In other words, the -Democrats now twit their opponents by saying that even if Governor Cox doesn’t prove that eight or fifteen million dollars in quotas have been or shall have been spent, he ought to get credit for saving the rank and file of the Republican party the dif ference between a budget of $3,000,- . 000 and what might otherwise have fH>een insisted upon in the way of * quotas in excess of that sum. t In a nutshell, if Governor Cox £> wanted to throw a monkey wrench ’"into rhe Republican financial cam jpaign simply because the Democratic ieffort to raise money has been a fail -sure thus far, he may succeed, but so Xfar as proving either corruption, --actual or intended, or the expenditure Jof excessive sums, his own support- CSers doubt 'whether he can do so con twincingly because of the inaccessibil '-itv of state fund records. lA. S. PERRY MAKES i TELLING SPEECH FOR HOKE SMITH CAMILLA, Ga., Aug. 31.—Speak ins’ to an audience of approximately .350 citizens of Mitchell county Mon day in the courthouse at Camilla, Alex Perry, of Cuthbert, advocated -the re-election of Senator Hoke /Smith in a brilliant address. Mr. Perry was introduced by J. E. Brooks, one of the most prominent business men of this section, and an ardent Hoke Smith supporter. Mr. Dorsey’s attack upon the Al bany Herald and Joseph E. Davis in his recent speech at Dawson was se verely criticized by Mr. Perry, and the applause with which his criti cisms were received showed con clusively that the people of this sec tion heartily disapproved of Mr. Dor sey’s action.

He says he may use this barrel in another trip over the Falls if sufficient money is offered him. . I j a Deadly Japanese Beetles Storm Poison Barrage AndßavageN. J. Farms Despite Heroic Measures Last Fall, the Pest Has Ap peared in Devastating Swarms RIVERTON, N. J.—The Japanese beetle, regarded as the country’s worst crop pest, has penetrated the elaborate barrage of bug prisons, burned headlands and imported ene mies which the department of agri culture experts had established around its quarantined area in Bur lington and Camden counties. Scouts employed by the department have found the beetles during the last few days in other distant sec tions of Burlington county, while re- ' ports that the pest has crossed the j Delaware river and invaded Pennsyl vania were verified today. While the government is impos ing a strict quarantine and exami nation of all products shipped out of the restricted areas heretofore known as the beetle district, the spread of the insect now gives the government a far more serious problem. No quarantine can be extended at once to these new districts because of the red tape involved, and it may be weeks before needed precautions can be put into effect. Hundreds of miles of hedge rows along country roads were burned over last fall by federal and state authorities to prevent the beetles from harboring there and depositing their eggs in uncultivated ground. Thousands of acres were treated with poison compounds and millions of the bugs were gleaned by hand at so .much per quart. Yet the beetle in the original area appeared this year in more destruc tive numbers than ever before, and the newly discovered colonies in oth er districts give it a foothold for an increase next year in wide areas of both states. Big Cotton Increase After Cover Crop CLEMSON COLLEGE, Aug. 31. —In connection with the increased inter est now being aroused in cover crops by the drives being made by various county agents, the facts and figures below are of importance. Cotton, following cowpeas, gave 511 pounds to the acre; cotton, following cotton, yielded only 279 pounds. The results indicate the need of a bal anced system of rotation. In the above instance, according to the Office of Farm Management, United States Department of Agriculture, both plots were of similar soil and each had received 336 pounds of fer tilizer to the acre. Oats, planted to follow crab grass, gave 7.1 bushels to the acre, but, coming after velvet beans, the yield was 28.6 bushels — four times as much. Land left to “rest” does not im prove as rapidly as when worked with a good cover crop. When corn was planted every three years and the land left to weeds in the intervals, the yield was only 18 bushels to each acre, but after five years of corn and crimson clover the yield increased to 50 bushels an acre. Fifth of Population Lives in Big Cities WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—More than one-fifth of the population of the country is located In thirty-three leading cities having 200.000 or more ■ innaoitants. A table showing these cities in order of their rank for 1920, issue today by the census bureau, placed their combined population at 22,724,565, which is slightly more than one-fifth the total population of the country, as estimated by Dr. Joseph A. Hill, chief statistician of the bureau, at 105,000,000. You Can Figure It Out for Yourself! SACRAMENTO.—Here are a few facts—there’s a raisin shortage; de mand for yeast has tripled in last year; price of raisins has doubled; demand also doubled; they’re not eating the raisins, either. Figure It our yourself! Bear Is Sent By U. S. Mail MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. The first attempt to send part of a zoo to Minneapolis .by mail was successful when Sheriff Earle Brown became host to a little brown bear. The bear came in. with the morning mail, the gift of friends in Wisconsin, and al most disrupted the affairs of the sheriff’s office, while deputies brought out the courthouse stock of peanuts, popcorn and candy and fed the surprise package. Even sheriffs and deputies in their own stronghold have a wholesale respect for live wild bears, and although forty pounds of cub sat up and begged politely to be taken out to see the sights, the sheriff said he preferred to look at him through the wire mesh that covered one side of the box. “Guess I’ll take him out to the farm, and when he gets used to me I’ll let him out,” said the sheriff, judiciously. Office on Wheels For Governor Cox COLUMBUS, O. —The governor’s office of the state of Ohio is traveling on wheels inside the private car Federal, which Gover nor Cox is using for the cam paign. Despite the fact that the Demo cratic nominee is swinging around the country at a break-neck gate, making four and five speeches a day, he has not resigned as chief executive of the Buckeye state and intends to keep on holding the office until his term expires in January next. He insists on tak ing care of all state business, which is. forwarded to him daily, acted upon and returned to Co lumbus.

Hun ter, known here as “king” of sea lion hunters, paid at the rate of $2.50 each. Bounty is paid on the sea lion sbecause they are considered the Pacific coast salmon’s worst enemy. They gather off the mouth of the Columbia river here to prey on fish bound upstream. Sea-lion hunting is dangerous. Hunter says, and he tells of narrow escapes from angry bulls. Seals, he asserts, are not as awkward as they appear, but can travel fast. Re cently one chased him over the rocks but was killed by Hunter’s compan ion before it reached him. Hunter works from a small launch while at sea. Much of his hunting is done on rocky beaches, where seals congregate. He learned his trade —as he terms it—as a moun taineer hunting bear and deer in the Cascade mountains. In addition to the government bounty, Hunter is paid by salmon cannerymen for destroying seals Estimated on the 1919 pack the rate of the cannery bounty would be about $2,900 for every 1,000 sea lions killed. COLLEGE GIRLS SMOKE AND CHEW IN EXPERIMENT Twenty-four girl students of the University of Wisconsin will be paid 40 cents an hour next winter to blow blue clouds of smoke into the labo ratory of; Prof. M. F. O’Shea. The same privilege is now being handed right out of the humidor to twenty-four male students and the makin’s are free. For eighteen months these stu dents have been the subject of an investigation by Prof. O'Shea, who is seeking to determine what effect, if any, tobacco has on the mental faculties of the users. The test will last another six months. One of the purposes of the inves tigation is to see if tobacco has the same effect on girls that it produces on men. Just what the test has shown to date, Prof. O’Shea will not tell. He will make a complete re port when it is finished. Simultaneously, similar investiga tions are being made at Johns Hop kins, University of Michigan, Leland Stanford, Harvard and Cornell. In these schools, however, the exami nations are to determine the effect of tobacco on the physical body and the morals. Prof. O’Shea is special izing on the mental effect only. Since chewing is also included in the test Prof. O’Shea is prepared to raise the pay a little as an added inducement when he collects his class of co-eds. “This work is being carried on for scientific purposes only,” Prof. O’Shea explained in Madison. “It is not in the interest of any propaganda whatever. Personally, we do not care whether tobacco is harmful or not. All we want is the scientific truth which we will publish to the world.” The students upon whom the in vestigations are being made have no idea what the test will show. The professor has been careful to keep them in the dark on that subject. “The idea is this,” he explained, “is to eliminate all suggestions from their minds. If I should let them know either frankly or by intima tion what I am learning the very knowledge "would have some sugges tive influence on their minds which would hamper my work. I am studying the effect of tobacco in all forms. Some of my subjects smoke pipes, some cigars, others cigarettes, while still another group chew the weed. “These young men use tobacco only when I tell them to do so and abstain when I give the order. I spend three and a half hours a day with them in the laboratory. “I pay my subjects 40 cents an hour and the university supplies the tobacco. I have them smoke under all conditions. Sometimes before they study for their other classes, sometimes afterward. Also some times before meals and at other times immediately afterward. Our laboratory is a very pleasant place, more like a parlor, with big easy chairs, than like a workshop.” One of the requirements that the professor makes of his students is that they will not discuss the work with outsiders. This also is to keep out suggestions. An effort to draw out one of the boys brought this retort: “You tell ’em, you’re a newspaper guy,” which shows how much his mentality has been affected. In addition to reporting his own findings, Prof. O’Shea will include in his report the testimony of 1,000 business men who employ smokers. —Philadelphia North American. L'PSI lAW DENTES HE NEGLECTED HIS DUTY AT CAPITAL Denying the charges made by his opponents that he neglected his duty as a congressman by absenting him self when important measures were under consideration, Congressman W. D. Upshaw, candidate for re-elec tion, spoke to a large crowd at the East Point school house on Monday night. Mr. Upshaw challenged his opponents to specify a single meas ure that had suffered because of his absence from the national capital. .The charge had been made that while Congressman Upshaw was in Atlanta, the house of representa tives passed a resolution calling for the abandonment of Camp Gordon. The congressman discussed this sub ject in considerable detail and in sisted that he was in Atlanta for the purpose of accompanying Gen eral Pershing on his inspection of Camp Gordon, his purpose being to impress upon General Pershing the advisability of recommending the permament maintenance of Camp Gordon as a military establishment* Store, Gin House and Dwelling Dynamited At Hollonville, Ga. CONCORD, Ga., Aug. 31. —Last night at one o’clock the store of Yarbrough and Johnson, the gin house of U. A. Yarbrough and Sons, and a dwelling house being erected by Eudry Brandenburg were dyna mited at Hollonville about five miles west of here. The store and house were completely destroyed, but only the boiler foundations of the gin were demolished. No clue or evidence has been found, and blood hounds could not pick up any trail. Michigan Officials Selected at Primary DETROIT, Aug. 31.—Candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, congressmen, the state legislature and county offices were selected in a state-wide primary in Michigan to day. The principal interest was in the gubernatorial and congressional races. Nine Republicans sought the nomination to the governorship. There was no contest for the Demo cratic nomination. Three women aspired to seats in congress and six of the state’s pres ent representatives were opposed for re-nominati on. A. E. F. Headquarters Are Mustered Out WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. —The American expeditionary forces of the world war passed finally into history here today. At the direction of Secretary of War Baker the A. E. F. headquarters, the last unit of the organization, was mustered out without ceremony. Gen eral Pershing has maintained the headquarters here since his return from France. Tomorrow Pershing will open head quarters as general of the army, as provided by the army reorganiza tion act. Pershing has nottified Sec retary Baker he will resign from the army, but he has announced no date for his resignation. 50 Killed, 100 Hurt In Mex Rail Wreck MEXICO CITY, Aug. 31. —Fifty persons were killed and 100 injured in the railway wreck near Ciudad Victoria, state of Tamaulipas, last Saturday, according to latest reports reaching this city. Most of the vic tims were soldiers of the Sixty-fifth battalion, which was being transport ed to Guadalajara. Among them, however, were two women and three children who were members of prom inent Tampico families. Lost Diamond Found In Chicken Gizzard ALBANY, Ga., Aug. 31.—While dressing a chicken for Sunday din ner at her home, 531 Commerce street, here Saturday, Mrs. R. E. Johnson found in the fowl’s gizzard a half-carat diamond which she had lost from a ring exactly eight months Lovely Aerial Champion Who Broke Loop Record Longs for Competition NEW YORK. —Would any lady airplane pilot like a nice little race to Philadelphia and Atlantic City on the way? Or a straight dash of 100 miles? Or does any feminine flyer fancy herself in an altitude contest, up about 20,000 feet, for instance, with a few dives and spins on the way down? If so, Miss Laura Bromwell, who set a new record for her sex by flip ping eighty-seven loops at Mineola, is all ready. “Now that I’ve got this record, I want a lot more,” volunteered the Lovely Looper when a reporter saw her yesterday at the Curtiss offices, > “Next Sunday, if the weather is pleasant, I m going after altitude, i and hope to get 25,000 feet. Tne present record for women is 17,200, held by a French girl. She Yearns for Competition “But what I want most of all is some competition. Let the other girl flyers get busy. I hope one of them breaks my looping record soon, so I can go out again and flip 150 or so. But more than that. I’d like one of them to give me a good fast race.” In a lacy gown, a flopping hat which trailed a black veil, and dis tinctly dainty shoes and hose, Miss Bromwell looked far from an aerial daredevil as she sat in an easy chair and voiced her desires. Her big blue eyes and very blond hair puffed over her ears removed her still further in appearance from that classification. But all the experts say ‘ the world hasn’t yet seen her equal as an aerial stunt artiste. “You know. I really did away over a hundred loops Sunday,” she said, “but the officials could only count, eighty-seven, because I was above a cloud belt when I started. I counted 123 myself before I gave up the tally.” The interviewer, who, on occasion, had found one loop to the afternoon quite sufficient for all practical pur poses, asked how this flipflop descent felt. “It didn’t bother me at all, Miss Bromwell declared. “I had never done many continuous loops before — in fact, previous to last week I never did over two or three—and I won dered if keeping at it would have any distressing effect. It didn’t. It was merely a*case of going through the motions and watching to see I didn’t come down too low.” The recording barograph on the Curtiss ship the girl flyer used registered 8.200 feet when she began her stunt. Her last turnover was at the low altitude of 900 feet. Won First Bide by Selling Bonds “How did you get into the flying game?” she was asked. “Down in Virginia, where I was visiting at the time of the last Lib erty loan, a prize of a ride in a ship was offered to any one "who would sell $20,000 worth,” the aviatrix re plied. “I was so eager to go up that I sold nearly that many and then bought the rest myself. Lieutenant H. F. Hunzinger took me flying, and I liked it so well I determined to be come a pilot myself. “I learned at Mineola between last July and October. R. H. Depew taught me straight flying and Bert Acosta stunting.” “How did you come to make your first loop?” _ , , “I did it the first time I ever had a ship up alone. I had heard the men tell how to do it —so I did it. It w as that wav, too, with all the other acrobatics. They’d tell me of a spin or a diva and I’d go up and do it “Had you taken part in athletics previously?" , “Yes, I had done a lot of swim ming. In fact, I think I still hold the record for a high dive by a wom an. I went off the suspension bridge at Cincinnati, my home town, which is 115 feet above the river. I still swim and walk a lot to keep in form. Big Strike Plot In South Charged By Walter R. Brown Aserting that an effort is being made by the labor unions to organize the negro farm laborers in the south for the purpose of calling a gigantic strike and “bringing the white south to its knees, Walter K- Brown, candidate for governor, on Tuesday issued a statement in which he afirmed his intention to fight such a program to the limit. Mr. Brown declares that negro labor unions are now in existence in Georgia and that efforts are being made to organize the negroes in the rural sections. He quotes from a negro publication to substantiate his statements. “If I am elected governor, or ganized labor will have to obey the law and no orders from union head quarters will be allowed to stand above the constitution and the statutes,” says Mr. Brown. He Offers Two to One That Mitchell County Goes Against Dorsey Denying in strongest terms the claim that Dorsey will carry Mitchell county, and offering to wager SIOO against SSO that Mitchell county will not go for Dorsey in the coming pri mary, D. A. Spence, one of the best known citizens of Pelham, on Mon day afternoon sent the following tele gfam to The Journal: “Pelham, Ga., Aug. 30. “Referring to a statement in the Atlanta Constitution of the 30th, signed by O. J. Culpepper, editor of the Camilla Enterprise, to the effect that Mitchell county is safely in the Dorsey column, wish to say that I will wager one hundred to fifty that Mitchell county does not go for H.>gb Dorsey. “4ccordling to the best information obtainable, Hugh Dorsey will be a hopeless third in every precinct in the county. The same conditions seem to exist in all the counties throughout the Second congressional d ; strict. “D. A. SPENCE. Military Police Try To Arrest Editor HOUSTON, Texas, Aug. 31.—As a result of numerous expressions ot indignation over an attempt last night of military police from the Galveston martial law zone to ar rest G. V. Sanders, a Houston editor, at the Houston Country club, Gen eral J. L- Wolters, in command of the military zone, indicated today he would issue a formal statement bearing on the case. The attempt to arrest Sanders was said to have resulted from articles published in a local newspaper deal ing with martial law at Galveston. Sanders was spirited away from the club before his arrest could be ef f e’Cted. Miitary authorities at Gaveston were quoted as saying the attempted arrest was unauthorized. Poll in Rochelle Favors Hoke Smith ABBEVILLE. Ga., Aug. 31.—Leroy Tippins, cashier of the Bank of Rochelle, took a poll of the business men of that town, which resulted as follows: Hoke Smith, 41; Tom Wat son, 11; Dorspy, 17, and 13 non-com mittal. He went to every business man in the town and had the poll cer iffed. This is a fair indication as to how Wilcox county will vote on elec tion day.
