less are the people to whom Governor
Cox referred as intendiner to employ
bayonets to keep labor down," asked
Senator Kenyon.
"I couldn't tell you what he was f?et
tinsr at." replied Mr. Vpham. "hut I
ahoidd sav these people are the best
we have In this country."
The national treasurer said that
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts had
reported more than 7.000 subscribers
from that state which was ten times
the number of any previous campaign.
The contributions from the state of
Washington were the first ever re
ceived from there bv the Republican
national committee, he said. Not . a
ingle contribution of more than $1,000
has come from New York, but Mr.
Upham was not famliar with the
Identity Of the contributors.
Expensive Ad Campaign
"There mav be a contribution there
from John V. Rockefeller for all I
knew." he added.
Chairman Hays resumed the stand
to furnish Senator Reed with informa
tion as to the committee's budget for
ttdvertising in foreign language news
papers. He said the party had no ap
propriation for that purpose, but hoped
to use some of its funds in that direc
tion, having an item of $40,000 which
perhaps might become available. In
that connection, Mr. Hays turned
over to the committee a letter from an
advertising agency which stated that
the Democratic organization was
planning to insert one thousand inches
of advertising in the "best foreign lan
guage papers." He said advertising
experts had told him there were 241
publications which might be placed in
such a catogery and that it would
cost $235,000 to carry out the program
outlined in the letter.
Senator New of Indiana, head of the
speakers' bureau of the Republican
national committee, was called to tes
tify as to salaries paid campaign
speakers. He said he had planned to
, psy jcsi few speakers who could not

"'--"'- Professional Spellbinders
Senator Edge. Republican, New Jer
sey, asked Mr. New if there were any
cases of speakers seeking work from
both major parties. The witness pro
educed correspondence with Prof. John
O. HalL formerly of Willamette uni
versity, Salem, Ore, which he said,
furnished an example- of this practice.
The correspondence showed that
Professor Hail was recommended to
Senator New by Congressman Nelson
of Minnesota, as a speaker fitted to ad
dress Scandinavian audiences. Senator
New wrote Professor Hall asking the
terms on which his assistance could
be obtained.
Replying from Washington. D. C,
where he was employed by the ship
ping board. Professor Hall said his
Democratic friends" had offered him
$7,500 and expenses and were wilK-ng
to give him $10,000 for campaign work
on behalf of the Democratic ticket.
A good appointment after the
campaign of non-political character,"
was also mentioned as part of the of
fer. Professor Hall wrote, however,
that he preferred to work for the Re
publicans. He offered his services to
Senator New on the same terms.
"X?d you bite," queried Senator
,Pomerene.
"No, but you did, rejoined Senator
New. "He is now head of the Scan
dinavian bureau of the Democratic na
tional committee, Murray Hill hotel.
New York city."
Fred A. I'ritten, member of the na
tional house of representatives from a
:hVcaso district was tailed to give evi
dence to support published charges
that British government funds were
being used to further the Cox cam
paign. Jle to!d the committee that a
fiction story being circulated free to
country newspapers by the Western
Newspaper union was he believed,
paid for by British interests. The
story, entitled "L'ncle Sam of Freedom
Ridge," was said to lie propaganda for
the leag le of nations and the newspa
per syndicate's offer of it to the papers
bore an indorsement of the story pur
porting to be by President Wilson, lie
said he had no further evidence.
Senator Pomerene asked Mr. Britten
if he meant ".to dignify what you have
given this cotrniittee as evidence."
Mr. Britten replied that he did and the
Ohio senator asked:
"Don't you regard it as a pretty se
rious matter for a member of congress
to make a serious charge of that ki'rul
against the British government or any
other government without having any
proof to offer to the committee?"
"Congressman Britten replied that
he did not make the charges against
the British government but that it was
merely a suggestion based upon h.'s
opinion."
The committee called Miles II. Mc
Millan, Chicago manager of the West
ern Newspaper union, but he was un
able to throw li-lit on the question of
who was financing the free distribu
tion of the story. Senator Reed brought
out that the probable cost of the ven
ture would be from $27,000 to $30,000.
George K. White, chairman of the
Democratic national committee then
was put on the stand and testified that
Paul Cochran, publicity director of the
Democratic committee had proposed to
him that the committee distribute the
story through the newspapers, Mr.
White said he favored the project if
the cost was not too great but never
approved Mr. Cochran's plan.
"You don t know who arranged for
it, who is paying for it?" Chairman
Kenyon asked.
"Nobody on the committee to my
knowledge has arranged personally,"
the witness replied.
Senator Edge asked Mr. White if the
plan would not violate the corrupt
practices act, and Mr. White replied:
"Well, I would want to take that up
with an attorney. I very frankly
haven't thought of it and I will take
that under consideration."
Mr. White, it was announced will be
summoned to the stand agam tomor
row to give a full account of the Dem
ocratic committee's affairs. He prob
ably will be followed on the stand by
Wilbur Marsh, treasurer of the Demo
cratic national committee.

THREE BOYS DIVIDE
01 STOLEN BICYCLE
Riddle: Divide one bicycle among
three boys.
Officer Nick Papo found the answer
to this riddle yesterday when he ar
rested three Mexican boys who had
stolen a bicycle belonging to Frank
Garcia. One of the boys had taken
possession of the handle bars and seat,
a second was in charge of the chain,
front wheel and pedals, while the last
of the trio contented himself with the
rear wheel. Officer Papo found the
frame of the bicycle discarded in the
canal at Seventh avenue and ' Tonto
street.
Papo compelled the boys to bring
all the parts to the police station, where
they spent some time reassembling the
wrecked bicycle. They were then
turned over to the county probation
officer.
Army Needs Men To
Serve In Germany
The war department has authorized
the enlistment of a limited number of
men for service . with the American
forces in Germany. It is necessary
that these men enlist for three years,
and the local army recruiting station
has been instructed to select only those
who are qualified and ready for imme
diate service without being put through
a long period of training. Former
service men will be given the pref
erence. This assignment includes a 590
bonus and 20 per cent additional pay
for foreign service, with the opportuni
ty to see Germany and visit the cities
of France and Belgium under most
favorable conditions.
It is pointed out by the local army
recruiting officers that this chance to
go to Germany will not remain open
very long, as every effort is being made
bv the recruiting service to secure the
required number of men as rapidly as
possible.
Tte ' Art S
Saving, with some peaple, is a knack ; but
with most of those who succeed it is an art
acquired through practice. "Art" says the
dictionary, "is the practical application of
knowledge; the exercise of skill; a system
of principles and rules for attaining a de

of saving, as in playing a musical instru

of beauty and utility, requires practice and
a Will to succeed. There are grand prizes
in store for those who master the art of sav

DECLINES CANDY OF
COLORED SUITOR;
HAS HIM ARRESTED
. Ten o'clock Saturday night!
James Conley, negro barber, dis
missed his last customer hastily and
devoted the next 10 minutes tp his own
tonsorial requirements. At 10:10 he
was at a llreek confectionery purchas
ing a CO-cent box of candy. About 13
iTiiiiulen later Conley was lit the home
of Mrs. Ktta l'owell, negro, who lives
alone with her two small children.-''
This h tailed chronology of events
was brought, out in police court yes
terday when Conley appeared to lace
a charge of disturbing the peace
brought against him by .Mrs. Powell.
"i'irst he came to the back door
where 1 was ironing," Mrs. l'owell ex
plained,'' and 1 askej him what he
wanted, lie said he had brought me
a box of candy, and I told him to take
it on home to his mother, lie said he
bought it for me and would not go
home until he delivered it."
Conley admitted he was rather per
sistent in tendering the box of sweets.
After being rejected at the rear door
he went to the front of the house and
sat in the window. Mrs. Powell went
into the front room, closed and locked
the door, closed and locked the window
where Conley was parked and finally
pulled down the shade.
"lie told me that if I didn't let him
in and take the candy he would kill me.
When I said I would call help, he said
he would cut down every one as fast as
they came," Mrs. Powell testified.
Conley then managed to get the screen
off the front window and pushed the
window open. Mrs. Powell screamed
and fled in scanty attire, jumping a
fence and cutting across lots until she
reached the home of a neighbor, who
called the police.
Conley's case was called Monday
afternoon, but he forfeited a bond of
$25 by failure to appear. Policeman
Williams brought Conley into the court
yesterday afternoon. Judge Thomas
found the defendant guilty and sen
tenced him to serve 10 days in jail.
An appeal was taken.

BELFAST, Aug. 31 The official re
turn of the casualties since Saturday
morning give 17 dead and 16 9 seriously
injured. This latter does not include
a large number of cases of persons
suffering from minor injuries who were
not detained in hospitals.
At one place last night, it was found
necessary for the police and military to
disperse a crowd before the fire bri
gade could get to work. Subsequently
the crowd and police came in conflict
in Albion street.
The situation became so threatening
that the commanding officer ordered
the troops to fire. A laborer was
fatally wounded. About midnipht a
shooting affray occurred at Mount
Collier. A woman was seriously
wounded by a rifle bullet during a
disturbance in the York road district.
In the Shankil road district last nigrht
a score of buildings principally saloons,
grocery and public houses, were set
afire. Many of them were gutted and
several homes adjoining also were
burned.
The period of destruction commenced
early in the day with attacks on
licensed premises and isolated private
houses, Repeated attempts were made
to burn these places but the fire bri
gade saved the premises in most cases.
At nightfall the situation became
more serious. Large crowds, mostly
young men and boys, became active
and evidently were determined upon a
policy of reprisals for the Sinn Fein
attack in York street.
Tramway service in the York street
district was suspended early in the
evening. By 7 o'clock a number of
fires had been started and from that
time on until after midnight the fire
brigade was busy.

IIHTED: HER OF
THIS LOT OF BOOZE
Found Three trunks and one dozen
bottles of bonded tequila. Owner may
have same by calling at the sheriff's
office and identifying his property.
In fact, the owner is in such demand
that the officers are looking for him.
The manner in which the trunks were
found is as follows:
Deputy Sheriff Al De Witt, after re
ceiving a tip that a shipment of liquor
was en route to northern Arizona and
would be transferred at Phoenix, went
to the depots yesterday morning to
nose about for the wet goods. While
in the Santa Fe depot he caught the
fra-rrant scent of what he sought. The
trail led to two trunks, both of which
had been broken open. Inside the dep
uty found several broken bottles but no
booze. Some one had beaten him to it.
A tag on one of the trunks issued
by a local delivery company for trans
fer from one depot to the other con
tained a notation that there were
three trunks, and soon the third was
located. It was locked, and when
broken into it was found to contain
12 bottles of teguila packed in pillows,
gunny sacks and newspapers. The
name Martinez appeared on the tag,
and according to the agent at the de
pot, the trunks came in on the Ari
zona Eastern railway Monday night
and were transferred to the Santa Fe.
