2 SMPUBLM RAISED 525.10 D IN CITY Olffl Former Manager of Govern or Cox Declares That Man Who Collected Fund Was Disgusted and Quit CHICAGO, Sept. 2. —The senate committee investigating the cam paign expenditures adjourned short ly after noon without having heard Edmund Moore of Ohio, Governor Cox’s personal representative. Chair man Kenyon announced that the com mittee would meet in Chicago next Tuesday, September 7, to hear Moore and other witnesses, cratic speakers’ bureau. “Tile senate investigating commit tee can either dig up the proof of Gov, Cox’s charges or it can leaxe matters so that Truman Newberry will have a lot of distinguished I company,” said Mr. Moore, while 1 waiting for the committee to de cide whether it would hear nim. “If the committee will call those | regional directors they can find out the real quotas, not only for states but, for cities,” said Mr.’ Moore. “Treasurer Upham testified that Georgia’s quota was $25,300. I am prepared to show that sum was the quota of Atlanta alone and that it was all raised by June 14. I can name the man wno raised it. He was so disgusted when Harding was nominated that he quit and said he would not support the ticket.” Mr. Moore declared that the Re publicans had corrupted Lincoln’s “government by the people” into the “government buy the people.” Further investigation into the Re publican year-book, being prepared by William Barnes, of the Albany Evening Journal, will be undertaken by the committee next week in Pitts burg, it was announced today by Sen. ator Kenyon. The committee there Will devote particular attention to Charges that liquor interests have contributed to various campaign funds, Senator Kenyon said. Mr. Barnes will be subpoenaed to appear at Pittsburg meetings, it was an nounced. Miles J. Poindexter, of Washing ton, recent candidate for the Repub lican presidential nortiination, and chairman of the Republican sena torial committee, told the investiga tors that the $3,000 which his com mittee s£nt E. O. Weller, Republican candidate for the senate from Mary land, was not an example of the gen eral practice of the committee; "There is no fixed rule or system by which candidates are helped.” explained Senator Poindexter. “We supply funds for campaign activi ties upon which we have agreed with the candidate or his campaign or ganization.” Senator Kenyon brought out that the senatorial committee had an ar rangement by which the former’s maximum campaign fund of $200,000 was guaranteed by the national committee. In return, all moneys collected by the senatorial commit tee are turned back to the national treasury of the party, Senator Poin dexter said. He added that Senator Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey, is chairman of a subcommittee In charge of collecting funds and that he in turn had organized an auxil iary committee headed by Elliot Wadsworth, of New York. “They have not raised any money to speak of.” Senator Poindexter said, and Senator Reed of the inves ts. ting committee supplemented this with the remark, “not yet.” Senator fomerone had the witness state that the $200,000, if divided equally among the thirty-two states in wKich senatorial elections are to be held this fall, would average $6,- 250 to the state, and he then called attention to the federal statute lim iting campaign expenses of a sena torial candidate to SIO,OOO except in states where a lower limit had been set bv statute.

Hardwick have subsequently circu lated as to the facts of that inci dent, and further refute the state ment made by Watson and echoed ' by Hardwick to the effect that Wat son’s righteous arrest for public in decency and disorderly conduct was either a “frame-up” or an “out rage,” and we publicly declare that the action of the citizens of Buford was impelled by motives of preserv ing public order, and that the action of the chief of police of Buford in finally resorting to the arrest of Mr. Watson after all persuasion had failed was done only to avert a trag edy and preserve the public peace and decency.” W. A. Plummer, an ex-enlisted man, who served with distinction in the Thirty-second division overseas, , was elected temporary chairman of the post and W. M.

Pinch John Barleycorr Riding in Town Hearse SEYMOUR, Conn.—Federal li quor agents In this vicinity have been stopping everything that moves on wheels in their search for illegal liquor cargoes, but funeral processions managed to escape until last Thursday. A hearse proceeding solemnly through the main street of this village without coaches trailing behind attracted the attention of the agents.

Inside the hearse were several gallons of high proof whisky. WEATHER By Wireless Leßoy Pasley, of Manhattan, Kan., taking wireless weather forecast ser vice. MANHATTAN, Kan. Kansas farmers will not have to squint at the sky or wait for the paper here after to know whether they had bet ter hurry and get in the hay. They’ll get the weather by wireless. That is, they will if they care enough about it to put in a receiv ing set —cost probably about $35 — and teach the hired man or the farm er’s boy how to tune it in. E. A. Stewart, of the physics de partment of the Kansas State Agri cultural college, has established a wireless weather report service tor farmers; the first, he believes, of its kind. Every morning at 9:55 he sends out the day’s forecast. All the farmers have to do is to equip themselves to receive it. COX PROMISES TO TAKE CARE OF “DIRT FARMERS” COLUMBUS, Oh Sept. 2 —Governor Cox today declared that if elected president he would appoint “dirt to responsible government positions, including the secretary of agriculture and members of the fed eral reserve, and I regional reserve board, tariff commissions and the interstate commerce commission. The Democratic presidential candi date discussed agricultural questions and outlined his proposed policies in an address at the executive office, to about one hundred representatives of the national board of farm organiza tions holding a convention here. Federal regulation of cold stor age facilities, a fair test of private railroad ownership and operation and co-operative buying and sell ing by farmers was advocated by Governor Cox. He also declared that business, labor and agricultural in terests must have defined by law limitations which they can under stand and stay within in their future conduct. Advocating apointment of farm ers to the federal reserve board and also regional boards, Governor Cox added: “I wish there were more farmers on them now. A great many inter ests do not look with favor on my election because they want to change the law (the federal reserve act) by making bankers only eligible for membership. Nothing could b'e more menacing to the farmer.” Georgia Highway Trucks Not Required To Buy License Tags Motor trucks donated to the state of Georgia by the federal govern ment after the war, and allotted by the state highway board to the coun ties for use in the construction of highways, will not be required to pay the motor vehicle license tax, but will be required to have identifica tion tags, and the same will be is sued by the secretary of state. This plan was formulated Wed nesday by a conference held in Sec retary McLendon’s office. Attorney General Denny, Highway Engineer Neel and various county commission ers and sheriffs were present. Colo nel Denny held that the motor trucks were not subject to the payment of tax. but must have tags of identifi cation.

BY THEODORE TIEI.ER Although only ten days remain for the submission of bids, no bidders have yet shown up at the postoffice department with offers to carry the mail by contract from New York to Atlanta, and on several aerial routes proposed through the west. The sec ond Assistant Postmaster General Praeger said today no bids had been received but that he had been “prom ised” bids before September 10. About two months ago the post office department advertised for bids for carrying the mail by airplanes on a number of routes which were to supplement the routes now being served by the department itself. These bids were advertised for open ing on September 10. There was just one obstacle apparently in the way and that was a “rider” inserted in the postoffice appropriation bill wherein congress stipulated that no additional mail routes by air should be established unless transportation of the mail through the air could be accomplished as cheaply as by train. Congress made no concession because of the rapidtiy of air delivery. It developed today that bidders are slow about coming forward, although the postoffice department announce ment gave them the privilege of bid ding on one or more of several routes. Otto Praeger, nevertheless, refuses to admit that he has lost hope re garding extension of the air mail service. He said today that he had been promised bids by one or more contractors and he confidently ex pects their propositions before Sep tember 10. Mr. Praeger is an en thusiast about air mail deliveries and wants to extend the system all over the country. Congress has stood in the way so far and the best that could be ob tained in the last apprppriation bill was permission to extend the service at a cost not exceeding what the department is paying the railroads. Along the Atlantic seaboard there has been interest chiefly in the pro posed air route from New York to Atlanta, via Norfolk, Raleigh and Columbia. Eventually the depart ment expected to extend this route to Key West. Various cities along the route have been in competition as "stopping places” or gasoline re filling stations. Both Charlotte and Greensboro, N. C., wanted to be in cluded as stops, but so far the de partment has not agreed to any stops south of the Virginia line other than Raleigh and Columbia, and it is said that only local mail pouches are to be left in these cities. The main purpose of the proposed route is to deliver mail rapidly in New York and Atlanta, both great distributing cen ters. However, no bids have yet been re ceived for this service, nor on any of the other proposals offered by the postoffice department, and there may be no southern aerial route after all. Mr. Praeger hopes there will be, be cause he thinks the circuits now in operation justify a country-wide ex tension of air deliveries. Asked today if he expected to get any blds, Mr. Praeger said none had been received but he expected them. “Oh, yes, we will get bids, I am confident,” he said. “You see, we have ten days yet.” ‘‘But there has been no rush of bidders during the past two months,” it was suggested. “We will get some bids before the time is up. We have been promised them,” said the enthusiastic Mr. P ra e ger. ._ THOUSANDS HEAR THOS. E. WATSON SPEAK IN MACON MACON, Ga., Sept. 2.—Macon witnessed one of the greatest politi cal events of its history last night when Thomas E. Watson spoke to a crowd estimated at 8,000 persons at the new city auditorium. People were standing in the aisles, standing on ladders and sitting on the joists of the unfinished building. Hun dreds of women stood with the men and fully 2,000 persons were turned away,from the building. When Mr. Watson entered the building there was prolonged ap plause and considerable cheering greeted the speaker severd.l times during his address. The applause, however, was confined mostly to a small group of Watson supporters seated in front of the building. Mr. Watson appeared to be well pleased with his audience. He be gan his address ‘with the events of the war of '76 leading up to th6 war with Germany. He was severe in his denunciation of President Wil son. Mr. Watson criticized the gov ernment for its manner of conduct ing the war and was sarcastic in his remarks regarding the stand the Atlanta post of the American Legion has taken against him. U. S. Guarantee of Rail Earnings Boosts Public Debt $101,755,000 WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. —Federal guarantee of railroad earnings re sulted in' an increase In the public debt of $101,755,000 during August, according to treasury figures issued today showing the nation’s gross debt to be $24,324,672,000. Treasury records charge the In crease in the public debt to an is sue of certificates of indebtedness offered August 16, sold to cover pay ment to the railroads under the guar antee provisions of the transporta tion. Advances to the carriers, against probable deficits during the month, were said by treasury officials to have reached nearly $i60,000,000, and on this basis they figured there would have been a slight reduction in the public debt had not the earn ings guarantee been in effect. Payments to the roads in August do not correctly indicate the amount to which they will be entitled when a final accounting for the six months period over which the guarantee ex tended Is made, It was added. As a result, the drain on the treasury probably will continue for several months, but officials believed it would be possible to clear up all transactions with the railroads with the exception of the revolving fund by the opening of the new year. The figures made public today show redemption of approximately $2,500,- 000 in Liberty bonds during the last thirty days, about $1,500,000 of which were of the third loan. Brooklyn Rapid Transit Sends Out Armored Cars On Its Surface Lines NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—Armored cars of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company were ordered sent out in large numbers today, in defiance of the strikers who were attempting to tie up surface transportation in that borough. These cars, sheathed in wire screening as a safeguard against the missiles of strikers, moved through the streets at in tervals, two policemen beside the motorman, and one at the elbow of the conductor. They carried but very few passengers. There was no prospect today of an early settlement. Crowds of strikers stood around the car barns, which were heavily guarded by po lice. A number of persons had been injured in fights and by Hying stones, but up to this morning there had been no clashes approaching the di mensions of riots. John Kline, 17, was found lying in the street in a dying condition from a stab wound early this morn ing. and the police theory was that he had been mistaken for a strike -1 breaker and attacked. War Gave Europe 12,000,000 Orphans PARlS.—Twelve million chil dren in Europe lost one or both parents during the war, it is shown by compilations gathered by representatives of the Amer ican Red Cross in eighteen coun tries.

Pretty Girl “Hobo” Clips Her Curls and “Rides the Bumpers” PORTLAND, Ore. —She was ar rested at Union Station, clad in a man’s working clothes, her hair clipped short. The story she told the police, and which they are convinced is true, aroused general sympathy for Miss Elizabeth Lancaster and won her quick release. She is nineteen years old and, with her brother, worked for a year on their homestead in Idaho. They could not “make a go of it,” she / \ 5 Wlfffcw! Eliza Mlt, * ■ 81 says, and her brother lost his nerve and decamped, leaving her only sl. Elizabeth struggled single-handed until her provisions were exhausted. Then she walked sixteen miles to Po catello and undertook to beat her way to her home in Snohomish, Washington. “As long as my hair was long and everybody knew I was a girl,’’ she explained, “I couldn’t travel very fast. So I cut off my hair. I hadn’t cried any up to then, but I wept some when I clipped my locks." A Portland department store gave Miss Lancaster a feminine outfit, a purse was raised for her and she was sent on to her parents. HERE’S LIST OF NEW BULLETINS ISSUED BY U. S.

THREE BOYS ARE BACK AFTER HIKE OVER THE WORLD Three Atlanta boys are seriously considering the advisability of col laborating on a descriptive work to be entitled “The Impecunious Globe Trotters, or Through Europe on Thirty Cents.” They have just re turned from a two months’ tour which, they firmly aver, lays over the famous pilgrimages of the well known Mr. Cook like a country grid dle cake over a restaurant steak. And the whole trip cost them about SIOO apiece. The young gentlemen in question are John Staton, who has won laurels as the star athlete and all-round scholarship man of Boys’ High; Jimmy Calhoun, of 79 Highland View, and Craig Mathews, of 172 Cypress street, both of them prominent in school affairs. With them on their travels was Bob Gray, of Newport News, Va., whom they annexed as a companion just prior to their de ; parture for the other side of the big pond. The trio of Atlanta boys left on June 21, having decided to make the most of their vacation by seeing a little of the world. They wheedled SSO apiece out of their parents, de parted for Newport News and after two weeks of waiting, during which time they worked in the shipyards, shipped on a tramp steamer bound for Antwerp, Belgium. It so happen ed that the vessel carried several hundred head of cattle, so John and Jimmy and Craig and Bob found themselves in attendance upon the more or less healthy bovine speci mens going overseas to swell the foodstock of our European neighbors. They spent seventeen days on the high seas and the boys insist that the phrase is well chosen. Appetites were decadent during most of the trip across, but the quartet bore up nobly under a menu consisting of soup, spaghetti, doubtful bread, cod fish, “spuds” and beef so tough it could be bent, but not otherwise port at Antwerp, they saw the town, spent all their money for souvenirs and passed on to Korsor, Denmark, where, by dint of scratch ing about and selling some of their personal belongings, they scraped up enough funds to visit the castle where the Hamlet is supposed to have starred in the original cast. Copenhagen, Helsingfors, a place with an unpronounceable name— Brunsbuttelsboog, Ostend, Kiel, Cal ais, Zeebrugge and Flushing were in cluded in their itinerary, the quartet of Americans managing to see all the sights by dint of strategy or plain, old-fashioned nerve in lieu of ready cash. They went along over to the mouth of the Thames when ther cattle boat finally bucked across the chan nel and they spent a day or two in London, calling on the king but find ing him out, inspecting the British museum and the various other points of interest. Fourteen more days on the old tub of a cattleboat brought them to New York, where they cleaned up as best they could, se cured the expert attention of a dis tracted barber and took in Ziegfeld’s Follies, Chinatown, Broadway and Forty-second street. Busted again, they had purchased their tickets back to Atlanta and the trio returned to the bosoms of their respective fam ilies on Tuesday, having left the fourtr member of the party in New port News. “Denmark and Germany are the cheapest places in the world to live in,” said John Staton, describing his travels with great gusto. “The rich est man in Korsor is worth 3,000 Kronen, about S3OO and if I had a case of plain old soap. I could buy out three-fourths of Germany.” Wannamaker Asks Cotton Growers For Acreage Reduction MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sent. 2. Drastic reduction in acreage in the cotton growing states and the for mation of an export corporation for the marketing of products were rec ommended by President J. S. WanYia maker, president of the American Cotton association, in his address delivered Wednesday to important committees, at the annual meeting of the Alabama division and southern tommissioners of agriculture. The president made the following recommendations: First, to secure the necessary ex tensions of credits so as to permit the economic handling of the cotton crop. Second, to recommend a minimum price for cotton. Third, to set aside 25 per cent of the best grades from the growing crop, removing that entirely from the market until next May, June and July, and the orderly marketing of same. Fourth, to put into force and ef fect a drastic reduction in cotton acreage and enormously increase the production of food and feed crops. Fifth, to form an export corpora tion for the purpose of marketing cotton, especially the lower grades, ,into Central Europe.

Moscow is a city teeming with ac tivity, its streets, squares and ba zaars crowded with people, and with little outward evidence of distress, except the daily struggle of people seeking their allotted quota, of food. But Petrograd, once one of the bus iest and gayest capitals in the world, is a city of deserted streets, with only scattered groups of people in those centers which were formerly the scenes of greatest activity. Traversing the entire length of the Nevski Prospect, formerly the grand boulevard running from the Nova river, one passes fewer than a hundred people. Along the banks of the Neva, from the winter palace down to the Alexandrovsky bridge, cordwood is piled high along the beautiful marble and stone balus trades and throughout the streets. Conscripts Provide Fuel It is being unloaded from barges by enforced labor. After the con script labor finishes its day’s work, groups of men and women gather through the night to carry away stray bits of wood remaining for their winter supply of fuel. Women are among the workers on the barges, standing waist deep in the water logged craft and handling big cross cut saws. The food prices at Petrograd are generally about 15 per cent higher than at Moscow, where at the end of July beets sold for 4,000 rubles a pound. (The American dollar is worth about two or three thousand depre ciated rubles.) Pork then was sell ing for-5,000 rubles; sugar, 4,000 ru bles: salt, 1,000 rubles; black bread, 1.000 rubles; small white brea rolls, 200 rubles each; potatoes, 700 rubles, and eggs. 300 rubles each. Air of Military Rule An atmosphere of military rule permeates Moscow more than any of the other cities. The population is under a constant nervous strain and few are able to avoid arrest by the supreme counter revolutionary committee. Persons disappear into prisons and no charges are preferred against them. If they are finally set free, they encounter the greatest dif ficulties in living. The popular say ing in the city now is that Moscow’s population is divided into three class es: Those who have been imprisoned, those in prison and those who will be. At present Moscow is in a gala new red dress entertaining delegates to SUCCESSFUL GRADUATES OF THE SOUTHERN TELEGRAPH INSTITUTE WRITE STRONG TESTIMONIALS Mr. Jesse E.
