SENATE MAY MAKE -
INQUIRY INTO WOOD’S
CAMPAIGN SPENDING
TIMES’ EXPOSE DEBATED IN SEN ATE
An exclusive 6tory published by The Indiana Daily Times Thursday
to the effect that Gen. Leonard Wood’s Indiana campaign managers,
out to “get the nomination for Wood at any cost," were paying $2.50
apiece for “testimonials" and running a highly-geared and expensive
press bureau, was brought to the attention of the United States senate
yesterday afternoon.
Senator Boran of Idano, vigorously assailing the heavy Wood cam
paign expenses, referred to the article and laid stress on the statement
that money was paid for statements favorable to Wood. Senator Moses
of New Hampshire, southern manager for Wood, replied that it was
news to him. Moses demanded whether Borah was making a direct
charge that Wood was using money to corrupt the American electorate.
"I say,” Borah came back, “that Gen. Wood's managers have set
out to control the republican convention by the use of money. Now let
them go to bat on it.”
WASHINGTON, March 27. —Charging that the managers of Leonard
Wood's campaign for the republican nomination for president have set out
to control the republican national convention through the use of money,
Senator Borah, Idaho, late yesterday afternoon created a political sensation
in the senate.
In a speech on campaign expenditures, Borah declared that a saturnalia
of corruption had been brought about by the use of money by candidates.
His speech may result in a congressional investigation of the cam
paign funds of all candidates.
Senator Kenyon, lowa, said he was considering introduction of a reso
lution for such, an inquiry.
Borah declared that Doth republican
and democratic candidates were spending
money “unconscionably,’* though not
Illegally, "because theie Is no law
against It.”
He Introduced a bill to limit such ex
penditures to SIO,OOO to a state on the
preconvention campaigns.
“TIME TO CLEAN
AUGEAN STABLES.”
Borah said that with ‘a senator Just
convicted by a Jury” In connection with
the use of money in campaigns, “the time
has come to clean the Augean stables.
‘‘The spending of money has become a
national peril,” he declared.
Borah declared that only an "innocent”
would believe that President Wilson does
not intend to seek a third terra, and In
response to Senator Moses, Wood’s man
ager, he said that if Wood “pursues his
present tactics much longer” Wilson will
be elected for a third term “if he wants
to be.”
He promised in due time to name the
democratic candidates who, he said, are
spending money as lavishly as the re
publicans.
Hurling his charge at the Wood men,
Borah challenged them with:
“Now let them go to bat on that. If
they like.”
Borah's bill provides full publicity for
campaign contributions and expendi
tures.
Violators would be subject to a maxi
mum penalty of JiT.noo flue and two
years’ Imprisonment
••PERFECT .SATURNALIA
(>* CORRUPTION.”
"For years,” said Borah, “the spend
ing of money in campaigns has been in
creasing.
“Indications are that this year there
will be a perfect saturnalia of corruption
through the use of money In the cam
paign.
"Developments thus far seem to me to
make It necessary for congress to take
some notice.
"There is no reason why this bill should
not pass in time to be effective thtrty
days before the Chicago and San Fran
cisco conventions.”
Senator Kenyon, at this point, said that,
in view of the slowness of congress to act
on a bill, a resolution of Investigation
should -be Introduced and adopted.
“I'm In favor of auch a resolution,”
said Borah, “but I think congress will
hesitate before daring to sidetrack this
bill.”
Senator Ashurst, Arizona, called on
Borah to give names.
“I’ll name them," said Borah. "You
must name the democrats you know
about.”
"If I knew of any democrat* who were
spending money Improperly Fd name
them,” said Ashurst.
“If I knew of any democrat who was
trying to get a third term I’d be quick
to tell the senate I am opposed to It.”
"If you don't know about a democrat
who wants a third term, you are blessed
with more innocence than I supposed
gnybody from Arizona had,” retorted
Borah.
“Do you know of any?” asked
Ashurst.
“If you’d seen a letter I Just saw,
you’d know it,” said Borah.
Ashurst said he'd like to have the let
ter read to the senate.
QUOTES STORY PRINTED
BY THE TIMES YESTERDAY.
Continuing, Borah said that “scandal
ous stories are being printed” about
huge sums of money being spent.
He read a published statement that
workers for Leonard Wood were told to
“get the nomination no matter what It
costs.”
(The story Senator Borah refers
to have was printed Thursday by
The Indiana Dally Times.)
He said Gov. Lowden’s managers had
spent their money with “more adroitness”
than Wood’s.
He added that two of the democratic
candidates had been as lavish In their
expenditures.
Ashurst demanded that Borah name
the democrats, promising If he did so.
"to see that they don’t get some of the
delegates they might otherwise procure.”
"WILL GIVE ALL FACTS
BEFORE HE’S THROUGH.”
Borah said he'd give all the facts be
fore he got through.
Borah then took up a recently pub
lished story, naming a group of men said
to have underwritten Wood’s campaign
for $600,000 or more.
Dan R. Hanna, Cleveland (Ohio) capi
talist, was one of those named.
Edward L. Doheny, an oil man, and
another of those named as an under
writer of the Wood campaign, Borah
said, was a heavy contributor to the
democratic funds for years.
"And he is now a candidate for dele
gate to the democratic convention from
fbe state of California,” said Borah.
Borah declared that If the men named
wished to they could “deny this charge
in forty-eight hours."
HANTS TO KNOW WHERE
MONEY COMES FROM.
"Any candidate for president who ac
< epts such stupendous favors from any
interests will, if elected, have to return
those favors in some way.” Borah said.
“Wood and Lowden and all other can
didates owe it to the American people to
come out and tell the country where the
money they are spending is coming from
and how it is being spent.”
Borah offered teiegaams he received
from South Dakota referring to the use
of money there by Wood and Lowden.
“Those telegrams told me that for
every vote cast there an average of $lO
was spent,” Borah asserted.
. Borah said he was not attacking the
people of any state, but, “as evidence
that there are people who can be bought,
let senators read what happened some
years ago in an Ohio county when prac
tically a majority of the people pleaded
guilty to taking bribes.”
Borah declared that If charges being
ripply circulated are true, "certain per
sons Jiave descended to actual personal
corruption.”
“The man who will accept money from
great corporations and conceal It, Is a
moral derelict unfit to be a precinct
officer, let alonge president of the
United States,” Borah declared.
Referring to an article Borah read,
in which it was stated Wood work
ers ip Indiana paid 52.50 each for
testimonials in behalf of Wood,
Senator Moses (New Hampshire),
southern manager for Wood, said It
was news to him.
“Tie money being spent for Gen. Wood
Is being spent legitimately and neces
sarlly,” said Senator Moses.
“No dollar has been spent In hts be
half Illegitimately.
“I can not speak with autborltity as to
exact sums received or spent, but I do
know that Gen. Wood’s campaign has
been Immaculate.
“I have no doubt that the total sum
Is much lower than reported'*
BAYS “PROCTER KNOWS
AND GEN. HOOD KNOWS.”
“I am perfectly aware,” replied Borah,
“that Senator Moses doesn't know about
this matter, but Mr. Procter knows
about It. *
“Mr. Hitchcock knows It.
“Mr. Doheny knows and Gen. Wood
knows.”
Asked whether Borah was making a
direct charge that Wood was using
money to corrupt the American electo
rate.
“I say without hesitation,” said
Borah, “and I waive my privilege as
a senator when I say it, that Gen.
H ood's mandgers hare set out to con
trol the republican convention by
the nse of money.
“Now, let them go to bat oa it.”
Borah said the use of Wood money had
"become an outrage against the Ameri
can people.”

Here are the comment* on the South
Dakota results made at the Indiana
headquarters of the candidates:
Wood headquarters—The result In
South Dakota was the add test.
Lowden headquarters—Gov. Lowden
made a good showing. At no time did
it appear certain that he would carry
the state.
The G. O. P, is. not strong for Gen.
Wood In Oklahoma, according to .Take
L. Hainon of Ardmore, Okla., who Is
visiting Indiana.
He believes that the people of Okla

that they feel the election of Wood
would mean domination by the mili

Mr. Hamon thinks that Gov. Lowden
and Senators Harding and Johnson have
a good chance In Oklahoma.

BELGIAN PORT
REGAINS MUCH
OF OLD TRADE
City of Antwerp Thrives
With Resumption of
Industry.
BOOMING AT SHIPYARDS
•
ANTWERP, March 27.—A1l the ex
traordinary energy and hustle which at
the present time pervades Belgous finds
Its concentration point at Antwerp. The
city is the commercial capita! of the
country and Is Just one solid lump of
business activity.
Said a director of an engineering
works as he raised his hands In self
pity: “The pressure is so much that
Ufetis scarcely worth living.” And tho
A.ntwerp business man genuinely feels
j that. When, however, he counts on his
j profits he begins to think that there may
j be something still left in life after nil.
j Every avenue of trade has been recon
j strueted and is being used to full ad
j vantage.
There Is a good Instance of how the
Belgian is snapping up business. Motor
lorries bought from the British govern
ment as aids for the transport troubles
! of Belgium affe now being sold back Into
England to the very considerable satis
faction of the Belgian contractor. An
Englishman from Northamptonshire has
’purchased well over 10.000 pounds’ worth
of Diamler lorries, which one time car
ried the British army. He was more
than pleased at the deal, knowing the
price he eftn obtain for them at homo,
and as for the Belgian seller his pav
had to be expressed in terms of cham
pagne.
PLAINLY SHOWN AT
QUAYS AJJD DOCKS.
A walk round the quays snd docks
of Antwerp shows plainly how this
cKy, as the great front door of Belgium
has, in a year, got back to nearly nor
mal working. The basins are well filled
with shipping. The warehouses stacked
with merchandise, wool and ‘other raw
materials. The actual task of loading
and unloading has been vastly speeded
up above the pre-war rate. They will
clear a ship in Antwerp qnlcker then
London can do It.
Shipyards form the premier Industry
of the city and they are now practically
in full order booked up with work for
many months ahead. They are running
continuously on the two-shift system,
which means sixteen hours’ labor each
day. Os the two yards building and re
pairing big ships in Antwerp Engineer
ing Company suffered most from the
Germans. It was seized and used for
the construction of the submarines
which, taken by canal to Zeebrugge.
made the port such an annoying spot
to the allies. Three ships being built
by the compsny when tho enemy came
i to Antwerp were simply smashed up
| and tho material used sot bomb proof
| shelters. Later all the bollermaklnir
1 tools In the works and the dry dock
j machinery was carted away Into Ger
| many. The ofMce records were not
j spared either. Thus when the war ended
; it was a case of beginning all over
i again with the Arm. They have suc
i eeeded wonderfully. Material for the
broken ships was carefully traced and
collected. Over 1.100 tons of stuff was
gathered In this way and was found to
be so little deteriorated by five years*
exposure that it could be reutlllzed.
Tools and machinery were obtained in
j various ways, orders for steel and ma
1 terlal contracted for In a variety of
| places. Now the company ha* commla
: slons In hand for eleven ocean going
j ships and Is employing several thou
; sands of men A wonderful record for a
| year ami there Is satisfaction In know
ing that the heads of this company are
j English.
CONTINUED WORK
UNDER HUN RULE.
The other main shipyard that of John
Cockerill & Cos., was not greatly inter
fered with by the Germans and cou
s tlnued building small river and canal
craft for Belgian owners during the oc
j cupatlon. Now the yard has come back
to Its pre-war property. It has two
j passenger liners laid down and a nnm
' ber of minor Tessols on the stocks. Tho
only handicap Is shortage of material,
which applies to every Industry through
out the country. The smaller yards have
all as much as they know what to do
with, while the repairing shops In Ant
werp are busier than they were before
boast iilties.
Generally, tha engineering workmen
have stuck to their Jobs good and hard
during the period of reconstruction and
the following boom. They have made
demands and threatened strikes and who
would not when the cost of living In
one's country had Increased 341 per rent
that is nn official figure. All serious
j labor trouble has, however, been averted
iso far for the simple reason that tho
masters have given tbs men all they
j asked. The average rate of wage Is now
! three times what It was In 1914. A
fresh demand has been put forward
within the last few days, which will
| bring It to four times the pre-war figure.
It remains to be seen If the employers
j will yield this. They are Inclined to be
j distinctive restive about It.
Antwerp is also back to its diamond
cutting once again. The trade died
during tho war because the skilled men
migrated across the Holland frontier
and went to recruit the Industry in
Amsterdam and elsewhere. Rather
alowly they have como back and now
Antwerp will cut diamond* for profiteers
home and foreign, as wall and truly as
Its Dutch rivals.

LONDON, March 27.—Diamonds are
still going up, but emeralds are acquir

WHO’S TO BOSS
TAMPICO? BIG
QUESTION NOW
Mexico’s Wealth Producing
Area Part Time in
Bandits’ Hands.
CAPITAL IS HARD HIT
TAMPICO, March 27.—Some day there
must be a “showdown" to establish jur
isdiction over the oil fields. It seems
Inevitable that eventually It must be de
termined whether the great wealth pro
ducing region of Tampico is to be under
the unquestioned authority of the recog
nized government of Mexico —the Carran
za government—or whether a band of
revolutionists, or bandits, or whatever
you choose to call them, shnl) continue
indefinitely to defy the federal govern
ment and exercise a certain measure of
control over the richest district of Mex
ico.
That control Is not complete, but It
exists sufficiently so that rebel forces
today are enabled to exact a toll from
American and other foreign oil Interests
that is generally estimated around
$30,000 a month. That figure Is the most
reliable obtainable, although higher esti
mates are frequently heard.
The Battle of the Oil Fields! It has
a picturesque ring, but thns far It has
never been fought. Whether It ever will
be depends, largely, upon the moods of
three different elements that today form
the eternal political triangle of the Tam
pico oil region—Venustlano Carranza,
Manuel Pelaez and the foreign oil in- j
terests.
“GENERAL" PELAEZ
ROMANTIC FIGURE.
Majiuel Pelaez —Yleneral” Peiaez his
followers call him—ls today on* of the
most romantic figures of Mexico. If not
the most scrupulous. Lists of Mexico's
rebel leaders always Include Pelaez. The
effect of the Pelaez movement as a po
litical force against the federal govern
ment probably Is exaggerated. But It '*
not likely that Pelaez worries greatly
over that feature. Tho fact remains that
this rebel chieftain, with a following
of soldiers and "moral supporters” that
has been known to reach 5,000 continues
;o roam about the oil district south of
Tampico, defying th* Carranza govern
ment, living largely “off the land," and
demanding hU pound of flesh—literally
It amounts to several pounds- from the
oil companies.
Louts Cabrera, Mexican v nlnlster of
finance, said recently he "hoped the oil
companies would see fit to co-operate
with the central government and refrain
from supporting a rebel leader."
But the oil companies put It differ
ently.
CARRANZA CAN’T
| HANDLE SITUATION.
According to their version, they are
forced to pay Pelaez for protection; he
| iooks after the safety of their Interests,
I they declare, with a degree of efficiency
! that Carranza can not achieve. It 1*
| pointed out, moreover, that If tribute
were refused, Peiaez could not- only
withdraw hta “protection,” but would:
be In a position to do considerable dam
age on hie own Initiative.
That's very well, you have both sides
of the atory. Then you ask:
“But If Pelaez 1* such a nulsanfe,
! from either point of view, then why
■ doesn't Carranza drive him out, tubju
| gate him, put him to rout?”
j There can't be many answer* to that
I query. Either it can't be done, or Car
ranza believes there are other Jobs more
urgent, or the military men serving
Carranza In the oil region haven’t seen
fit too carry out his order*.
