eral Iiurrett said tonight "My or
der to Colonel Markham was In tho

'The guard, of course, Is a re

General Barrett's order followed
n day of rumor concerning n threat
ened clash between whiles and
blacks, over the lynching last night
of Claude Chandler, negro boy, son
of an alleged "moonshiner" killed
in a raid on a still at Arcadia, 23
miles northeast of here, Saturday
morning, when a federal prohibition
officer and a deputy sheriff also
were, slain.
Tho body of the negro boy was
placed In tho window of a negro
undertaking establishment today,
after It .had been found near town
suspended from a tree, and many
negroes viewed tho body.
It was believed by officers that
the negro boy fired tho shots which
killed tho officers In tho Saturday
morning raid.
Governor Robertson this afternoon
advised a group of about 20 negroes
who called at his office, headed by
IloBcoe Dungee, editor of a negro
publication, "in remain quietly at
homo and trust officers of the law
to preserve order and protect them
from harm." Tho negroes told tho
governor they wero trying to avert
race trouble and urged him to con
tinue his efforts to prosecute persons
who took part In the mob that
lyncncii unanui'-r.
Governor Robertson today of
fered a reward of 300 for the ar
rest and conviction of any member
of the mob which ncted hero last

'The state has officers commis
sioned to enforce Its laws, and I am
tuVirmlned that they shall carry out
their duties," the governor said. "We
have not reached the point yet of
needing to call In private citizens to
help tho officers. The best way for
nil parties to uvo-jl disorder and rarn
disputes Is for citizens to trust their
authorized agencies to do their duty
nnd themselves ro about their busi

CHICAGO, Aug. 30. The senate
commuted Investigating caninalcn
expenditures hunted today for thn
trail of tho 115,000,000 fund which
Governor Cox chanted thn rentih-
iican party was seeking in "an at
tempt to corrupt tho American clcc
titrate and buy the presidency." Will
II. Hays, republican national chair
man, nnd Homer S. Cummlngs, until
July 20 tho democratic national
chairman, were examined nt length,
but neither threw nny light on tho
reported JIB, 000,000 fund,
Tho commltteo also heard Repre
tentative M. I). Flood of Virginia,
chairman of the democratic con
gresslonal campaign committee, nnd
former Representntivo Joseph L.
Rhlnock of Kentucky, treasurer of
the committee,
Tho outstanding points ln tho mnie
of figures through which tho com
mittee struggled were;
Testimony by Mr. Hays that tho
republican national committee bud
get for tho presidential campaign
called for expenditure of 13,079,-
037.20,
Declaration by Mr. Cummlngs that
alolwlng for the Increased cost of
limiting, clerical hire, rents, trans
portntlon nnd all tho necessities of
n national campaign, a national com
mltteo should be able to stage i
"fair, decent nnd stiff campaign
with reasonable publicity," for
(2,000,000.
With that amount of money, ho
said, the national chairman need not
worry over finances.
Mr. Hays also testified the re
publican national committee was
seeking to raise approximately
11,000,000 to be donated to the
various stato committees for their
local campaigns, making a total of
slightly moro than 4,000,000 In tho
republican campaign for all pur
poses.
Mr. Cummlngs declared he be
llcved this amount wns excessive nnd
pointed to the 191ft campaign, say
ing that ho learned ln his home
stato of Connecticut tho republicans
spent $250,000 ln that year. He
considered this was too much for
a commonwealth of that slxe. "If
you let , the state commltteo run
wild," ho said, "you get an accumu
lated expenditure which In Itself Is
nu outstanding evidence of corrupt
purpose. I suggest that this Is Just
what Is going to happen with tho
republicans this year."
"Has either party any monopoly ln
this practice." asked Senator Kdgo.
"Thero Is no monopoly upon the
system, rejoined Mr. Cummlngs,
"but there Is no doubt about repub
lican success ln that direction."
Hoth Mr. Hays nnd Mr. Cummlngs
refused to discuss details of their
commltteo financing, asserting that
as chairmen they had only n general
knowledge of such subjects nnd that
tho books and records of tho com
mltteo trensures would have to bo
relied upon In that respect. '
Neither chairmen knew of nny
largo Individual contributions and
Mr. Hays was rather positive, thnt
the republican plan to limit Individ
ual gifts to 11,000 was being carried
out succissfully. IIu knew of 38 ex
ceptions to tho rulo, tho largest be
lug for (9.000, two for (5,000 each
and the other 35 for lesser amounts.
Mr. Cummlngs explained to the
committee that tho organization of
which ho was chairman was poverty
stricken when he ussumed that of
fice and he left It to his successor
(651 In cash and a net Indebtedness
of slightly moro than (100,000.
A charge by Mr. Hays that as
early as July, 1919, the democratic
commltteo had an elaborate fund
gathering organization In tho Ilond
building, Washington, was explained
by Mr. Cummlncs as n bureau for
both propaganda and finance He
said It '.grew from a hope," hut was
reduced In size when It was found
tho overhead charges for maintain
ing the organization exceeded the re
ceipts by (10,000 to (15,000 a month.
Tho two chairmen agreed that
legislation looking to federal con
trol of presidential campaigns was
desirable. Senator Pomercnn argued
that congress wan powerless nt pres.
ent because the supremo court had
held that presidential electors wero
state officials. A suggestion that a
constitutional amendment might bo
necessary lo glvo congress oversight
of presidential campaigns brought
from Mr. Hays a proposal thnt tho
parties might unite In an effort to
obtain such a change on tho basic
law.
