crats Are Levying Assess
ments Against Women
rrT,-.win Sent. 11. The - senate
committee investigating campaign ex
penditures today wound up a two
weeks' innmry into charges by Gov
ernor Cox that the republican party is
seeking a J15.000.000 fund. The' ses
sions here also developed testimony
bearing upon charges that the demq
cratic party solicited campaign con
tributions from federal offipe holders
and accepted unlimited amounts from
other contributors.
The committee will meet again on
September 22 in either Washington or
Sew York, Chairman Kenyon empow
ered to choose the city. Senator Ken
yon said that if Washington was se
lected, the witnesses who. were to
have been heard at Pittsburgh would
be called to the capital. The com
mittee had planned a meeting In Pitts-,
burgh to investigate reports that
Pennsylvania liquor interests were
helping finance the democratic cam
paign. V ,.
Today's hearing was conducted by
Chairman Kenyon, republican, land
Senators Reed and Pomerene. demo
crats: Senator Spencer and Edge, re
publicans, were absent. The latter
left Chicago last night, 'after issuing
i statement deriding the Cox charges.
Counter Charge Mad , ;
Republican plans for a, seven-day
drive for funds in Chicago and testi
many that the democrats had assessed
girl employees of the internal revenue
office at Aberdeen, S, D., $40 ''each to
help finanve the democratic campaign,'
were the topics of today's Inquiry., ' '
Frederick Courtenay Barber, of New
York, a professional money raiser In
charge of the Chicago republican
drive, told the committee' he had pre
pared a card index of about 26,000
prospective contributors, including a
preferred list of some 700, to 800, each
of whom was believed able to', give
11.000. Upwards of 3,000 'workers are
engaged in the one week's drive, - he
said, with $500,000 as the goal.
Testimony by Caleb Enix, a local
newspaper man, that the Republican
national committee had sent out pub
licity matter giving the Chicago quota
as 1700,000 led Mr. Barber to say that
ne nad heard others make the same
statement, but he "let them rave."
His goal, he emphasized, was five
hundred thousand dollars. . '
"Did you ever discuss the amount
Mi Fred W. Upham, treasurer -of
the republican national committee?"
asked Senator Reed.
Says Suggestions Ignored
"Yes, sir; that is, there was not an
awful lot of discussion about it.: Mr
Upham would say something and" I
would listen and not contradict him,'
"1 the time with my own plan in
mind. Mr. Upham in some talks with
mentioned $700,000, but I could not

Any Hour American Among,
the Hunger Group Dying
LONDON, Sept. 11. "The lord mayor
of Cork is in a very exhausted condi
tion. He is still suffering severely in
his head and' his body. He is still
conscious." - ,
This bulletin was issued at 10
o'clock tonight, and the general im
pression from official and. unofficial re
ports is that Terence MacSwiney's
death is expected at any hour. The
officials apparently take this view be
cause the police guard about the prison
was doubled tonight. ,
While a fortnight ago crowds of the
Irish people hung about the prison
all day, the numbers have gradually
dwindled, and tonight no more than a
dozen persons congregated outside of
reporters. .
-Masses will be said In many Irish
churches tomorrow, if Mayor MacSwi
ney is alive. Thus far there have
been no masses for ' him in the Eng
lish Catholic churches.

In Cork . jail,' to ' American citizenship,
was, obtained today from his father.
TlinothyMurphy, 'arihoemaker resld
ing at Pouladuff , a suburb of Cork.
Timothy Murphy said he had fifteen
children, only, six of whom are now
living. He emigrated", to America . in
1883, settling in Lynn, Mass., where
three of his children were born, in
cluding Joseph, who was .- born in
1886. Timothy took out first citizen
ship papers In 1898, but left before
naturalization' was complete.
At the beginning of the war, Murphy
declared, one son born, in " Lynn regis
tered at the American' consulate in
Queenstown as an American. This son
was now living in New York. ' Jo
seph, however.' failed to reelster at
Fthe consulate."
l&Near the Murphy residence is an old
qarry, in which, it is said, Joseph
urphy found a German shell casing
thrown there by a soldier on his re
turn from France, and took it home
as a souvenir. The shell brought the
charge that he had a bomb In his
house, and he was arrested by the
government.
Timothy Murphy Is constantly in at
tendance at- his son's bedside in the
jail. He said Joseph's condition to
day was very grave.

From Spring Poetry
To Spring Onions Is
Far Cry, He Made It
WASHING Olf, Sept. ( 11. From
spring poetr to spring onions may
be a long Jump, yet Tomo Joshov
Vukichevicho, who used to. regale
the royal family of Montenegro with
heart throbs, took it without losing
his self respect. Not long ago,
Tomo, who was the poet laureate of
the little kingdom, lost his, job, and
like many budding poets, who ; find
it increasingly difficult in the high
price times to keep " the wolf from
the hall room door, decided to go to
work. " v '. ,
It seemed to Tomo, that the Jobs
had all been filled, but somebody
suggested that , he eonsult the Red
Cross which has a station at Pod
goritza, and after looking him over,"
they decided he- would do in the
onion ' patch. So he went to work
and the onions '. responding to his
delicate touch, thrived' like llllles In
the field. Advices today from Pod
' goritza - indicated V. that Tomo was
using his spare time writing an
pis in' Serbian blank verse, extol
ling American relief in Montenegro,
and incidentally pointing the way
to other poets anxious to eat.

LEAGUE NOT WAR

M'Adoo Refutes Statement of
Lodge Covenant Would In
sure World, Peace, He Says : r
PORTLAND, Maine, Sept. 11 De
nial that "the league of nations Is a '
union to wage war,',' ' as , charged by
Senator Lodge, was made here to
night by William G McAdoo, in an ad-,'
dress at. the final' democratic mass
meeting in the state campaign. He
said there. was no foundation for such
an assertion, and added that If the
United States becomes a member "the
league will be doubly powerful to pre-
vent war.'' ' - - r . .
, "Every obligation ' of good faith to
our, allies," Mr) MeAdoo Said, and every
principle and Ideal 'for the settlement- ,.
of International disputes "by peaceful ' '
methods, of which this nation has been"
the consistent champion for . half
century, appeals to the American peo
ple xt6 Join their power with the great . ,
nations 'of the earth to secure for the '
time in human history this great boon' .
of an organization to make the' recur-; .
rence of war so, remote as to be im- ' -
possible. t v !" '
The paramount ' need of the world
today Is peace, and Insurance against ;
war. The ' democratic party stands for '
peace and Insurance against war. The ,
republicans oppose' it. . - .-
"At Augusta a f ewnghts ' ago Sena--tor
. Lodge charged That 'the league of ;
nations. is a union to wage war." This'
Is ? frequently asserted by republican . v.
orators, ' but without any foundation
whatever. The7 answer to it Is the con- .
stltutlon- of the league of natiens . it- "
self, which expressly binds the thirty- r,
seven , nations which have , already
joined the league to promote interna
tional co-operation and achieve inter-
national peace and security by, the ac- , c -ceptance
. of obligations not ' to resort .
to war." -''.. -'" V
In the rfaceof the obligation ' pf .
which the nations have accepted not . v ,
to resort to war.-how can it be charged,
with any sort of Justification that these
thirty-seven nations rhave formed a ;
"union to wage war,"' In other words, v' .
Senator Lodge and other republican
