TO OUTLAW IR
Republican Nominee Says
However That League of
Nations jWill Mean This
Country i Must Sacrifice
All Ideas of Nationality
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
MARION. Ohio. Sept. 3 Hope that
the United States will take the lead to
"outlaw war" and secure the perma
nent peace of the world was voiced by
Senator Hardin? today in a speech at
a homecomine celebration at Mount
Gilead, Ohio, a country town in his na
tive county.
Addressing a crowd from a street
booth where members of the American
Legion were soliciting funds for a
home for their local post, the Republi
can nominee declared that he was will
ing to do anything short of surrender
Ins? the nation's independence to attain
world concord. He maintained that
acceptance of the league of nations
as it was written, however, would in
volve a sacrifice of nationality which
no friend of peace should advocate.
To Show Gratitude
"I want to show my gTatitude to
these men in an effective way." said
Senator Harding, turning to the former
service men, "by seeing that neither
they nor their sons nor their sons'
sons shall ever be called to the battle
front again. I am not sure that I am
In complete accord with others as to
the means, but if I can speak the con
science of America, we will lead the
world to outlaw war."
The candidate also declared the na
tion must show "practical, helpful gen
erosity" to th former soldier, adding
that it was unfair to impose uni'ersal
service unless there was to be an ade
quate expression of fratitude with the
return of peace."
The speech was the second del'c
ered by Senator Harding today, his
position In sunport of the co-operative
agreements for farmers having been
outlined a few hours before.
Co-operative marketing, he told a
committee of the national board of
farm oreanizations. would be the first
practical step that could be taken
to reduce the coot of living.
Meets With Leaders
During the day the nominee took up
several other important issues in talks
with political leaders, one of his con
ferences bringing together here for the
first time representatives of all three
of the grouns into which senate Repub
licans divided drinsr the league ratifi
cation fight.
On his front porch during the aft
ernoon he talked over the situation
with Senator Knox of Pennsylvania,
an irreconcilable: Senator Spencer of
Missouri, a mild reservationist, and
Senator Townsend of Michigan, who
stood during the fight with the middle
ground group, led by Senator Lodge.
Other callers at Senator Harding's
office today included Harry M. Daugh
erty of Columbus, a member of the
Republican campaign committee, and
Jake L.-Harmon, national committee
man from Oklahoma.

WHEAT GOES UP
CHICAGO, Sept. 3 Wheat ran up

MAYOR IS TIRED
BUT STILL WILL
ACCEPT NO FOOD
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
LONDON, Sept. 3. The condition
of Lord Mayor Macswtney snowed
no radical change tonight although
the patient was said gradually to
be growing weaker. Sean Mac.
Swiney, his brother, remained at the
prison tonight.
The Gaelic league announced to
night that for the first time during
his hunger strike, the lord mayor
had complained to his wife of feel
ing very tired. The prisoner was
unable to converse with his rela
tives. He was still quite conscious
however, and "his mind was as
clear and his will as strong as
ever."
Labor leaders this morning ad
dressed an appeal to Premier Lloyd
George, asking the lord mayor's re
lease. The message said in part:
"We are convinced that the gov
ernment's treatment of the lord
mayor already has seriously Jeop
ardized the hope of an early settle
ment of the Irish question on a
basis of conciliation, and appease
ment, and has stained the name of
Great Britain with dishonor In the
eyes of the civilized world. By its
persecution in prison of the lord
mayor of Cork, the government has
outraged public sentiment every
where and his death will bring
about a terrible explosion of anger
which can only lead to further
bloodshed In Ireland."
TRACE BOLSHEVISM

Republican A. P. Leased Wire
Trace Bolshevism
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. Bolshevik
activity in Mexico is directly charged
to Aguirre Berlanga, secretary of the
interior and head of the cabinet under
the late President Carranza, In a state
ment recently issued by Abel Diaz de
Leon, who is affiliated with the Com
munist federation. Diaz de Leon is
one of the group which broke away
from ' the Aguas Calientes conference
when the Communist party, led by
Lynn A. E. Gale. C. F. Tabler and oth
ers, determined upon a radical pro
gram of social revolution.
Diaz de Leon, in his statement, said
that propaganda among the soldiers
and military students of Mexico un
doubtedly was the work of Gale and
Tabler who, a few days ago, were or
dered expelled from the country as un
desirable aliens.
I. W. W. Involved
"Bolshevism in Mexico, thanks to the
money sent by the I. W. W. in the Unit
ed States and the Lenine party in Rus

exclusively.' the statement adds. "He

Explanation is made that Berlanga,

thought by aiding the I. W. W. in Mex
ico and the United States, he would
be able to prevent America from de
claring war on Germany and would
consolidate the people of Mexico in
support of Carranza's government. Ber
langa. the statement says, spent $50,
000 of the public funds in bringing on
an agreement with the I. W. W. in the

Republican A. P. Leased Wire
LOS CERRILOS. N. M., Sept. S.
The body of a man, about 55, with the
skull crushed as if by a heavy blow on
the side of the head, was brought here
today from Domingo, about 40 miles
south of here. An envelope in one of
his pockets gave the name of D. M.
McBride, 767 Merchants street, Los An
geles, Cal. Prom other papers in his
grips it appeared he was a member of
the Knights of Columbus at Philadel
phia, Pa. Letters were also found ad
dressed to another McBride in that
city, who, officers believe, may be his
brother.
Two grips filled with clothes of good
quality were found near the scene of
the crime, but all money and jewelery
had been removed from the body.
An effort is being made to locate the
supposed brother fn Philadelphia.
Japan and the United States had come
face to face with each other across the
ocean as neighbors, each embodying
conspicuously the respective civiliza
tions or the East and West. Ho was
convinced, he added, that in this be
perceived plainly the hand of destiny
warning tnat japan and America are
particularly charged with he duty of
bringing the F.ast and the West into
harmony.
Troubles Can Be So'ved
"That both sides do the r v: most,'' he
continued, "with this fundamental
truth in view and with du regard at
principles of justice and fair play, I
have not the slightest doubt that .all
the troubles actually existing and all
the troubles that may possioly arise
between the two nations can be solved
to the. entire satisfaetioa of both. I
have profound confidence in the ever
lasting friendiliip and understanding
between Japan and America."
President Tokugawa of the house of

the congressmen:
"I know you come in a private ca

RENDER REPORT
ON SINKING
SUBMARINE
EASTERN GIST
Failure of Intake Valve to
Close During Dive For
Exercise Is Held Responsi
ble for Accident to Naval
Vessel
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3. The
submarine S-5 sank on Wednesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock because one of
the air intake valves refused to close
when the craft made "a quick dive for
exercise." That is contained in an of
ficial report made to Washington to
night by radio by one of the boats
that stood by and helped in the rescue
of the men from S-5, according to a re
port here tonight.
The radio message to the navy de
partment, the report says, is as fol
lows: '
"S-5 made a quick dive for exercise
2 p. m. Wednesday. Large valve in air
intake failed to close. Admitted large
quantity of water to living spaces.
"Boat went to bottom in 165 feet of
water. Got valve closed and expelled
all water possible. Whereupon stern
lifted barely out of water, bow on
bottom, inclined down 60- degrees.
Water Runs In
"Water ran into forward compart
ments. Storage batteries gave off
strong chlorine fumes.
"Forward compartment vacated and
sealed. Continued all possible efforts
to expel water. No success.
"Finding stern just clear of water.
Lieutenant Commander Cook and crew
began drilling with small hand drills.
Very slow work. Could only work two
minutes at a time; bad air.
"At 3 p. m. Thursday steamship
Alanthus saw submarine, came close.
Attention attracted by calling and wav
ing through small hole by now through
submarine. Made fast and hung to
submarine until relieved Friday morn
ing; no tools. Could not enlarge hole,
but saved lives whole crew by pumping
air in with small water pump.
"Steamship General Goethals next
arrived. - Her chief engineer clung to
submarine stern. , Worked small hand
drill for eight hours. Splendid work.
Crew Suffers
"Finally got hole large enough at 3
a. m. Friday ana an omcers ana crew
escaped without permanent injury. All
suffering from 37 hours bad air. Some
temporarily incapacitated. The cap
tain and some others soon revived and
besran assisting, in salvaging sub
marine.
"Naval vessels that started from
Hampton Roads, Philadelphia, New
York and New London began arriving
early Friday morning. Ohio now at
tempting to tow S-5 inshore.
"Consider saving personnel was
splendid feat. Slightest mistake after
accident on part of officers would have
resulted loss of some or all.
Due to Negligence
Members of the crew of the de
stroyer Overton, which arrived at the
Philadelphia navy yard tonight after
having been to the scene of the dis
aster, said that the entire accident
was due to the negligence of some
member of the crew.
Officers of the Overton would say
nothing, referring all inquir.es to
Washington. But all commented on
the bravery of the officers ana crew
of the 3-5, as they were rescued irom
the ship.
The first request of each man was
for a cigarette. Every one or them
was wan and pale from the 37 hours
spent in the darkness of the sunken
hull, with all oxygen virtually ex
hausted. Discovered By Steamer
NEW YORK. Sept. 3 The plight of
the disabled submarine S-5, whose
crew of 30 men was rescued early to
day after be.'ng submerged for 44
hours, was first learned by the steam
ship Alanthus, which accidentally dis
covered the submarine off the JJela-
ware capes yesterday afternoon with
30 feet of her bow protruding above
the water. Captain E. O. Swinson of
the steamship General George W.
Goethals reported on his arrival at Ho
boken tonight. Earlier reports were
that the General Goethals had located
the distressed underseas vessel by
means of a telephone buoy released
from the submerged craft.
The crew of the submarine owe
their lives, he said, to the quick work
of Chief Engineer W. R. Grace of the
General Goethals and his assistant, R.
A. McWilliams.
The imprisoned men. Captain Swin
son said, had cut a small hole through
the hull and had stuck through a pole
on which was flyi'ng an undershirt.
The Alanthus was unable to rescue the
crew as she had no apparatus for cut
ting through the submarine's hull. The
crew cf the Alanthus, however, be
gan pumping air through the small
hole made by the undersea craft's
crew.
To Salvage Vessel
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3 Assured
of the safety of the officers and crew
of the disabled submarine S-f, naval
authorities have centered their atten
tion on the question of salvaging the
vessel. Lieutenant Commander Ilol
brook Gibson, commanding officer of
the submarine repair base at the Phil
adelphia navj yard, sailed tonight on
tho destroyer Piddle, with official
plans from which the undersea boat
was constructed. Salvage experts from
the local yard and the Brooklyn navy
yard were on the Piddle, which is
equipped with machinery that may be
needed to restore the vessel.
Word that two of the rescued men
were in a serious condition from in
halinsr chlorine gas caused by the mix
ing of the sea water and sulphuric acid
in the submarine, was brought here by
the destroyer Billir.gshy, one of the
vessels whi'ch went to . the aid of the
S-5. Their names were unknown.
MEETING Is SECRET
BELFAST, Sept .3. Tho proceedings!
of the meeting of the Ulster unionist j
council today were strictly secret. The
decisions arrived at were provisional. !
There is no foundation for the rumor i
that the government contemplates
recoenizing the Ulster volunteers. It
was pointed out that such recognition
would be regarded by the Catholics
throughout the country as "tantamount
to a declaration of civil war.

SWARMS OF SOVIET
SPIES TO PREVENT
RUSSIAN UPRISING
WASHINGTON. Sept. 3 Swarms
of soviet spies with which Russa is
infested make impossible any revo
lution against the bolsheviki at tl.
present time, advices received .od8
in official circles here state.
Revolt against the bolsheviki, the
advices said, only is possible if
provoked and supported by ou'sido
influences as the efficiency ot the
secret police in Russia is such as to
nip in the bud all plots and con
spiracies. The dispatches add that the fear
of the extraordinary commission
also has been a deterrent factor of
powerful influence among the dis
affected Russian population.
COMBINM BATES
EXAMINER'S REPORT
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 General
disapproval of combination rates
based on distances east and west of
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers
was expressed in a tentative report
submitted to the interstate commerce
commission today by Bxaminer Will
iam A. Disque.
The report was drafted in connec
tion with a complai'nt filed by the In
termediate Rate association, relative to
the class and commodity rates to Pa
cific coast cities and the intermoun
tain territory from points east of the
Rocky mountafns.
The disapproval expressed by the ex
aminer if adopted by the commission
would result In a complete change in
the method of establishing freight
rates throughout the country.
Says Basis Unnatural
"The combination basis ordinarily is
abnormal, unnatural, unscientific, dis
criminatory and some may say un
American," Examiner Dfsque's report
said. "It can tlmost be said to be
prfma facie unreasonable. The car
riers had been regarded more and more
as one national system and the day
may not be far distant when we' should
proceed to the establishment of Joint
through class and commodity rates,
substantially lower than the combina
tion of locals, between practically all
points In the country.'
The report added that tonnage
through the Panama canal was in
creasing at such a rapid rate as to
"cause one to belfeve that within a
comparatively short space of time, it
will reach a point which it will be
felt in a serious loss of tonnage han
dled by the rail lines unless they have
in force appropriate measures to meet
the situation.

EIHCIAL PROBLEMS

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Sept. 3 Financial
and marketing problems were stressed
today by F. E. Schneider of Phoenix,
secretory of the Arizona Cattle Raisers'
association, who addressed the Cochise
Graham Cattle Growers' association
meeti'ng here in semi-annual conven
tion. Mr. Schneider and others held
that the money situation was one of
the most serious confronting Arizona
cow men, with special consideration by
the federal reserve banks desired for
relief. Mr. Schmfder reviewed ques
tions of grazing in national forests and
favored a definite policy by iie state
land board on leasing of state lands
for grazing.
Dayton Moses of Port Worth, attor
ney for the cattle raisers of Texas, in
vited Arizona cattlemen to join the
Texas association. He said that if any
class had "got the worst of it" since
the war, it was the cattle producers.
G. v. Hays of Wilcox responded to
Mayor A. E. Hinton's address of wel
come. E. Waller McKenzie of San
Simon presided m the absence of Pres
ident George Morgan of Ronita, who
is in a Rochester, Minn., hospital for

Tou can put up more food for less

any other way.
There are three methods of doing
this: Fermentation with dry salting,
fermentation in brine, and salting
without fermentation.
Salt, water, an old keg or crock,
a board over the top, and a brick on
the board. This, roughly is the
outfit. The use of it is described

Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 Expiration
at midnight tonight of the 90-day pe
riod allowed the president by the new
merchant marine act to give notice of
the intention of the United States to
revoke certain clauses of commercial
treaties brought no official announce
ment from the executive department
of the government.
State department officials, whose
study of commercial treaties to which
the United States is a signatory nas
revealed that about 25 such pacts con
travene the merchant marine act, de
clined to say whether any decision had
been reached or any action taken.
Clauses of existing treaties which
must bo revoked are those which in
the words of the act "restrict the ri-rht
of the United States to impose dis
criminating customs duties" on im
ports entering the United States in for
eign vessels and in vessels of the
United States and which also restrict
the right of the United States to iifl-
pose discriminatory tonnage dues on
foreign vessels and on vessels of tho
United States enterVng the United
States.
May Abrogate Treaties
Speculation has been widespread as
to the effect of notices to other na
tions of this government's intention to
revoke such clauses. Officials have
expressed almost general belief that
the' revocation of the clauses will lead
to abrogation of the entire treat.'es.
Many of the treaties cannot be abro
gated except on a year's notice and
this in the opinion of some officials
will permit remedial legislation be
fore the pact's expiration if it really
was not the intention of congress to
take such a "radical" step as some of
ficials believe.
Treaties with Argentina, China, Li
beria, Panama and Tripoli, however,
could be abrogated by those govern
ments immediately. Upon their abro
gation department of commerce offi
cials believe sections of the Underwood
tariff act of 1913 providing for a dis
crimination of 15 per cent in favor of
imports carried l'n American vessels sa
compared with imports carried In bot
toms of those nations automatically
would come" into effect. Chairman Ben
son of the shipping board has taken
an opposite view and has insisted that
no di'scrlminatlon would be exercised
against any foreign shipping unless
provoked.
Secretary of Commerce Alexander
expressed the view today that Ameri
can foreign trade would have noth
ing to fear even should the president
give the revocation notices. Opposi
tion to this section of the act, as well
as to the entire merchant marine law,
in its policy of developing a permanent
merchant marine.
TENNESSEE SOLDIS
SEND MUTES TO

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 3. At the
request of the house of representatives
Governor Roberts late tonight forward
ed to Secretary of State Colby a certi
fied copy of the journal of that body of
last Tuesday, when the attempt was
made to rescind its previous action in
ratifying the federal suffrage amend
ment. In transmitting the papers the gov
ernor merely attached a statement that
"the attached paper is a full, true and
correct copy or transcript of all entries
appearing on the Journal" of Tuesday
and that the clerk had authority to
make and certify to tho correctness of
the transcript which was sent.
Transmission of the journal to Wash
ington was not regarded tonight by
the suffragists as affecting the valid
ity of the proclamation previously is
sued by Secretary Colby of the rat
ification of the nineteenth amendment.
They pointed out that Governor Rob
erts did not certify what action the
house had taken or as to legality or
effect.
The anti-ratif icationists. however,
were jubilant because they interpreted
the sending of the statement as mean
ing that this record would become a
part of the evidence that is to be used
in the courts to overthrow the valid
ity of the suffrage amendment's rat
ification by Tennessee.

ANTI-SUFFRflGISTS
REGEIVE TEMPORARY
SETBACK If COURT
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 Opponents
of woman suffrage received a tem
popary setback today in their efforts
to expedite appeal from the decision of
Justice Bailey of the District of Co
lumbia supreme court refusing an in
junction to prevent Secretary of State
Colby from promulgating the suffrage
amendment.
Chief Justice Smyth of the District
of Columbia court of appeals denied
the petition of suffrage opponents as
represented in the American constitu
tional league, for certification of the
case to the United States supreme
court without waiting for a decision by
the appellate tribunal.
Lacks Authority
The chief Justice held that he lacked
authority to certify under a decision
of the United States supreme court
which held that such certification
could be made only where the decision
of the local apellate tribunal was final.
As there is a constitutional question
involved in the suffrage case there
would be a right of appeal from a de
cision of the court of appeals to the
United States supreme court.
Counsel for tho anti-suffragists,
however, have not abandoned hope of
getting the case into the highest court
in the land before flection day and
when the court of appeals convenes
October 4. will make a motion to ad
vance the case on the calendar and
probably request that their conten
tion be overruled in order that they
may appeal at once to the United

BATTLE CHEEK, Mich., Sept. 3. e
Governor Cox today made a whirlwind n
rush into his western campaign, mak- d
ing a dozen speeches throughout Michi- a
gan renewing his attack on Republican v
campaign contributions and peace poli- "
cies. Charges of "a plot to buy the -presidency"
were reiterated by the
Democratic presidential candidate in 8
virtually every address of an itinerary
which kept him on the rostrom of tha '
rear platform of his private car from
before breakfast until late today. His '
principal address was at Lauslng, the 1
state capital, and here, with his closing '
address tonight at Kalamazoo. He also
made numerous rear platform speeches. 1
Local flavor was given by the gov-
ernor to his address by constant refer
ence to the election fraud case of Sen- r
ator Newberry, Republican of Michi
gan. The candidate declared tliat an
attempt was being made, by the Repub
lican contributions "to Newberryize the
nation."
Attacks Big Business
As proof of his charges, the governor
read to a large crowd on the state-cap-itol
lawn at Lansing from copies of the
Republican treasury's "Official Bulle
tin," presented in his Pittsburg address
and also before the senate investigating
committee, and an alleged list of sub
scriptions to the Republican hand book
of William Barnes, Jr., of New York.
The latter, he said, comprised repre
sentatives of "big business almost
everywhere in New York."
Reading from a list of prominent men
named in the subscription list, Gov
ernor Cox added:
"These men are not making contri
butions to my fund. And there are
three very definite reasons. First, they
have not been asked, second, they
wouldn't be permitted to, and, third,
they probably wouldn't if they had the
chance because they don't approve of .
my policies."
To Watch Committee
Commenting on names of corpora
tions on which he characterized as the
"Boss Barnes list," Governor Cox said,
corporate contributions rpre illegal. Ho
also promised to keep his eye upon the
senate committee, reciting that it did
service before the Republican conven
tion and now had the opportunity t
prevent "purchase of the presidency."
The league of nations was extolled by
the governor in a speech today. He de
clared that "the mothers of Amerlct"
are for it and denounced a separate
peace with Germany. He applied tha
terms "stand-patter" and "reactionary"
to Senator Harding, his Republican op
ponent and replying to Mr. Harding's
recent address in favor of combining
features of the league and The Hague
tribunal, declared the plan internation
ally "reactionary."
Accusing Senator Harding of chang
ing positions frequently upon the
league issue. Governor Cox said The
Hague tribunal was and had "bats In
the belfry, and spider weba every
where." Ridicules Proposal
"Now tho new plan," the governor
continued, "is to re-establish that old
institution which has proven an abso
