Campaign Fund Figures Are
U ncovered—Dissolution
of German Reichstag. 4
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
^KNATOU iiOUAirs campaign fund
Investigating committee, liavlng
shifted the scene of operations to
Washington, spent a busy week main
ly in Inquiring into the truth or falsity
of/the charge made .by Senator La-
Follette and his attorney, Frank I*.
.Walsh, that there Is a conspiracy to
raise between ten and twelve million
dollars to secure the'election of. Cool-
idge and I>awes. Attorney Samuel
I’ntermyer was associated with Walsh
in the cross-examlnaWonrof witnesses,
the most importarit of whom were
Pennsylvanians. It is from their state,
according to the LaFolletfe charges,
that much of the alleged slush fund
is expected.
These Pennsylvanians, among whom
were S. M. Yarn-lain, president of (he
llaldwln Locomotive works; K. T.
Stotesbury, Philadelphia partner of J.
P. Morgan & Co.; Joseph It. JJrundy,
president of the t^tate Manufacturers'
association and autiior of letters so
liciting campaign contributions; and
Chester W. Hill and Nathan T. Fol-
well of IMdladelplda, testllied with
apparent frankness concerning their
efforts to raise money for the Repub
lican campaign and concerning their
own contributions. They said they
were not ashamed thus to aid their
party. Mr. Grundy and Mr. Hill said
they had raised $3df>,000 in the eastern
part of the state and were still going
ahead. Senator Caraway sought, to
develop that the contributors were
“government beneficiaries," but Mr.
Grundy said the list to whom letters
had been sent had been bought from
an addressograph company.
“Pretty good letters,” commented
Senator Caraway. “Worth $3(k r »,000.
You say you are grateful for the laws
passed under the Republican admin
istration. You mean the tariff?’’
“No. All the laws.’’
Mr. Yam lain said; “I am not
ashamed of the Republican party. It
never entered my bead whether it
would take ten or tifty millions to
win the election.”
"Money talks?” asked the sarcastic
Mr. I nterlayer.
“No, sir; righteousness talks. I
have confidence enough in the work-
in^ {icnjiL* tif thiv ‘‘“'inirv tu iVH thut'
they will not be hoodwinked by any
thing. The American workingman
votes straight.”
‘"ion feel that you speak for the
workingman?" asked Attorney Walsh
in amazement.
''1 es. 1 do not speak for Mr. Sam
uel Gompers. 1 -haven't the slightest
fear of LaFollette. I feel that it
'von t take more than one hay wagon
to haul away his votes!"
'1'. Y. ('Voundr, via led a party of
labor inert to Washington to tell Mr.
Coolidge he had their support, 1 v T as’'
asked eoneerning the expenses of that
trip. He said he advanced the moneyi-
and was reimbursed by Joseph Ryan ;
. vire president of the longshoremen's
union, and that each aapi had paid
his share. Mr. o'Cennor was also
questioned about Ids intimation, in a
speech at RulTalo, that LaFollette was
receiving Soviet money from Russia
through Mexico. He admitted lie had
no information to support this but
*'-f*aitnt wits "common rumor” and lie
believed it. having heard it from crews
of boats returning from Russia.
Willianj Knox, president of the
American Rankers’ association, wired
the committee a flat denial W the
charge made by Attorney Walsh that
a political fund to defeat LaFollette
had been raised at the meeting of the
association in Chicago. He said no
request lias ever been made by the
association for funds for political pur
poses. Mr. Stotesbury, whom Walsh
named as the chairman of the commit
tee to raise this fund, denied all knowl
edge of it.
B EFORE hearing ail this testimony,
the Borah committee called Na
tional Chairman Clem Shaver and Na
tional Treasurer James W. Gerard to
tell about the Democratic campaign
fund. Mr. Shaver said the national
committee hud received only $348,440
to date, was already $48,000 in the
hole and expected to end the campaign
with a deficit of about $130,000 unless
it is pleasantly disappointed by more
liberal contributions. Mr. Gerard
Identified some of the larger donors
to the fund, including T. L. Chad-
bourne, Harney M. Baruch and Henry
Morgenthuu of New York, (’. C. Wat
son of West Virginia and Mr. Gerard
himself. He cheerfully told the com
mittee that he and ills associates
would gladly 'spend a million and a
half if it were given them.
LaFollette’s campaign fund, it
seems, Is not at all large, hut that ills
managers would gladly accept and
spend more is made evident by a for
mal statement of Attorney General
Ekem, treasurer of the third party.
He appeals for contributions without
placing any limit thereon, and says:
“If our friends come forward liberally
now we can put tills tiling over.” Last
week LaFollette and Wheeler turned
their attention to the eastern states,
especially New Y’ork, for, as Mr. Ekern
said, “We are now assured of enough
states In the West to prevent the
election of Coolidge.” The fight among
the three parties for New York's 43
electoral votes is exceedingly hot. If
ly took complete control of the city,

tlie gates. A proclamation was issued
stating that General Feng did not wish
to make war and had called a confer
ence between the government and the
Manchurians. It was said he also de
manded that President Tsao Kun re
sign, and reports from Tokyo said
Tsao had fled from Peking.
Earlier in the week General Chang
fought two bloody battles with the
Peking forces in the Shanhulkwan re
gion and, according to the most reli
able reports, defeated them with
heavy losses. Part of the Manchurian
army reached the sea near Chinwang-
tao and thus had about 15,000 Peking
troops virtually surrounded. It was
believed General Wu would flee on a

A T THE sixth annual

American Legion held recently '
in St. Paul-, the following mes- Y
sage from President Coolidge
was read in the convention hall
in lieu of the President's at-
tendancejat the meeting:
“The thought of (lie world
turns inereaslrigly toward peace,
its preservation and perpetua
tion. 1 am glad to be able to
say to the Legion that tills
thought is more a al more (ind
uing leadership and direction.
We are justified, as never be
fore. in the hope for great
coniplishnents, through the
operation of the nuth ns, in the
ways of peace. Y’ou >f the Le
gion, better than any others,
know what war means. So I am
happy to extend to you my con
fidence that highly important
progress'is making' along the
road which leads to the elimina
tion of war from this world.
Y’ou have done me honor in at-,
tributing to me ability to add to
the inspiration which Legion
members must always draw
from contemplating their great
part in the history of their
country and the world. Theirs
has been both in war and in
peace, a record of unselfish
readiness to serve.’h ,

Davis predicts that LaFollette will
carry six or eight states, all normally
Republican.
G ERMANY is to have a general
election December 7, when a new
reiehstag wilt tie chosen. The pres
ent reichstag was dissolved on Monday
of last week by President Ebert be
cause Chancellor Marx had failed so
to reorganize the cabinet that lie
would have a working majority in the
legislative assembly. It will he remem
bered that the Nationalists consented
to vote for the Dawes plan laws on
condition flint they should have three
seats in the cabinet, that there should
be a tax on Imported grains and that
Germany should not Join the League
of Nations unless her claim that she
did not start the war was accepted.
The government promised all this, hut
found ’’difficulty in carrying out Its
pledges, especially that concerning the
war guilt. Also the various parties re
fused to co-operate with Marx in the
formation of the new cabinet, and he
finally gave up. The Nationalist party,
largest of the seven, has issued a proc
lamation declaring in favor of the res
toration of the monarchy and against
tiie Versailles treaty and the Dawes
e mean to create a
new Germany, free from Jewish con
trol." if the Nationalists should win
control—which is unlikely—civil war
might result, for the republican- -ele
ments are prepared to support the re
public with arms.
Tiie German Industrial.magnates are
trying to form a coalition of the •Na

A TTORNEY GENERAL STONE, In
a brief filed in the Federal court
at St. Paul, Minn., seeks for "effective
dissolution" of the International Har
vester company’s alleged monopoly of
tiie farm machinery business. The
proceedings are supplemental to the
consent decree in dissolution entered
in that court in 1918. This, Mr. Stone
holds, did not go far enough, and he
asks that tiie court give proper pro
tection “to the farmers and land own
ers who are dependent upon agricul
tural machinery and Implements ob
tainable at reasonable prices.” Dur
ing a test period which ended 18
months after the declaration of peace,
according to the brief, eight of the
Harvester company's competitors
went out of business, and in 1922, tiie
last selling season under the test
period, the defendarit company’s busi

I N THE tiflal week of the British
parliamentary campaign the situa
tion was so Confused that it was al
most impossible to predict the result
of the elections, but it seemed no party
would obtain a clear majority of the
seats. Tiie united front of the Lib
erals and Conservatives against Labor
appeared to have broken down, many
of the Liberals giving actual support
to the right'wing of the Labor party.
Great bitterness developed, there were
many riots and various notables were

were draped from windows, red muf

unhitched their red petticoats, came
to the Moors of their cots and darn ed

WOMEN MEMBERS ARE
LIVE LEGIONNAIRES
A bursting shell in tiie Uhafeau-
Thierr* area overturned an ambulance
hut tiie woman who was driving it
was pulled out of tiie wreckage only
slightly injured. That accounts for
the fact that Mrs. J. W. Atkins is
still ullv£—so much so that she,, Is
counted one of tiie livest Legionnaires
of which tiie Lowe-McFarlane post of
tiie Legion, Shreveport, La., boasts.
Tiie energy and spirit that enabled
Mrs. Atkins to enroll many members
in tiie Lowe-McFarlane post recently
is tiie same she displayed in tiie great
war.
She served six months as an am
bulance driver at tin*. French front
with Miss Anne Morgan's famous
unit, the American Uommlttce tor
Devastated France, which did volun
teer service with tiie Third French
army. Mrs. Atkins, if she so minded,
could relate many vivid and thrilling
stories of her experiences while driv
ing her ambulance and earing for tiie
wounded. Site was at tiie battle of
Chateau Thierry where her ambulance
was overturned hy a shell. "We were
there to help and net to be helped
and performed service just as a man."
Mrs. Atkins says. She did all tiie re
pair work on her ambulance that did
not require tiie service of a skilled
mechanic, (in one occasion she re
paired 17 punctures in one day cn her
machine. N'cr Is Mrs. Atkins tiie only
woman member of which Lovve-McFar-
larie post boasts.
Many years ago a sparkling little
girl plajing outside tin* walls of St.
James palace in London caught tiie
eye of a prince who called tier to him
and gave tier a string of heads, say
ing: "Y’ou’re a bright little girl; here
take these heads to go with your
bright ness."
Tiie prince later became King Ed

same' cheerful spirit, as a United
States army nurse, which had once
pleased tin* prince of Wales, and
which, incidentally, is now pleasing
tiie members of Lowc-McFarhmc post
of which she is a most active member
and member-getter.
Mrs. Butler was born near St.
James palace in London, hut follow*-

“joined tip" as a nurse and made ex

Shreveport, where site is successfully

as "Blue Bird Cottage," a homey lit-
