FINANCIAL PLAN UNDER DISCUSSION Witness Tells Committee He Understood Samuel Insull Gave Money For the Campaign. Chicago. Aug. 5. —C4 3 ) —Frank L. Sm’th. republican senatorial nominee in Illinois, testified today before the senate campaign funds committee that I during the recent primary campaign he “understood” that Samuel Insull, Chicago public utilities magnate, had contributed funds to his candidacy. “It was common talk in the cam paign and charges were made by.‘op ponents.” . “Did you deny it?” Reed asked. “In a speech at Springfield during the campaign I said that if one who had paid $38,000,000 in reduced rates, to the public wanted to contribute to my campaign I saw no reason why he should not do so.” The chairman of the lUonois Com merce Commission which controls rates on public utilities in the state said he had no definite information j from Allen F. Moore, his campaign j manager, that Insull had actually j contributed to his campaign fund, j His testimony is that the utilities executive gave $125,000 directly, and spent $32,025.10 for propaganda against the world court which bene- j fitted Smith’s candidacy. “I can conceive ,of no citizen that directly interested in politics being in terested to the extent of making such charges to a United States Senate.’’ Smith added. Therefore I assume that there was a political motive behind It. But I cannot give any name.” “The committee will he glad to have the namfs if you learn then.” Senator Reed said.

Asserting that his ward organiza tions raised no funds in the past cam paign Eller said business men raised $1,548.91 for his personal campaign. ORDERS ANOTHER ARREST IN HALL-MILLS CASE Ralph V. M.

Chicago, Aug* 5. —The tears of man over woman’s invasion of the barber shop are declared by the na | tion’s specialists, in convention here, to be of the genus crocodile. Because, they say, he is slipping around after hours haunting feminine beauty parlors and paying unwilling operators more than do their women customers for every aid devised by I the beauty culture profession. One proof proffered at the Ameri- j can Cosmeticians Society convention! here was the fact that mere man I used $8,000,000 worth of hair Oye, i last year, with other items in prapor-1 < tion. Men were charged witk spend- [ I | ing more time and money on their appearance than ever before. They have found beauty aids a vast help in a business world which puts a premium on good appearance and youth, it was claimed. The barber shop of hair cuts, shaves and shines, the experts said, is a thing of the past. Tomorrow it will be a masculine beauty parlor. The cosmeticians were interested in a statement by their President, Mrs. Nellie B. Cooper, that a wife’s breakfast table toilette should oc cupy only six and one-half minutes. In that time she can apply founda tion cream, powder, rouge, lipstick and eye-brow pencil and eyelash brush, Mrs. Cooper said. Guildhalls’ Guarded Treasures.

SHERRILL, Editor and Publisher MANY MOTORISTS WITH NO LICENSE PLVTES The Largest Number of Delinquents Seem to Be in the Cities. Sir Walter Hotel Tribune Bureau Raleigh, Aug. 5. —Few actual ar ; rests of motorists for running with ; out their new license plates are be -1 ing made, but many are being stopped, and instead of being taken before a judge, are taken to the automobile license bureau here, where they are ! required to purchase their license plates. This is in accordange with the ruling of R. A. Doughton com missioner of revenue, that automobile dwners were to be shown as much Consideration m possible, and only deliberate and intentional offenders y/cre to be prosecuted. While there were some 15,000 or 20.000 at th» beginning of the week who had not ' ye: secured their licenses, this num ber is diminishing rapidly. S . Strange to say, th6 large number ; of delinquents seem to be in the cities, where, evidently depending on the traffic congestion to conceal their 01. l ! license plates, they hoped to “get | by.” Several have, remarked that more old license plates were to be seen in Raleigh than any other sec tion of the State, probaly because the central bureau is here, and a license may bo obtained in a few minutes no tice. Many others are just trust ; ing to luck to “get bj’” as long ns possible, while others simply have I not the cash with which to buy a li cense, according to Commissioner . Dough ton. ' i ttttu they have enough money to buy gasoline with, though,” , he remarked, stating that he bad re ceived hundred of letters from auto mobile owners who said that they simply did not have the cash to get a license with now. The only thing for. them to do is to keep their cars in their garages or back yards until they can get a new license, the com missioner says, as from now on all delinquents are to be nabbed when ever they appear on the highway new license plates. Only a few eases of stolen license plates have been reported, though a j much larger number of lost plates have been reported. Car owners are urged to fasted their license plates ou seeurely and rigidly*, to avoid loss. SHORT, TIGHT SKIRTS IN FALL STREET GOWNS International Motifs of American Designers Include Rich Russian Embroideries. Chicago. Aug. 4.—The American woman of fashion will find an in ternational motif in her gowns this fall, from indications at the open ing of the Chicago Garment Manu facturers’ Fashion Revue. Russian, French, Italian and Cxeeho-Slovakian tendencies in cut, cloth and trimming of many of the smartest gowns predominate in the first inking from the designers of the new styles. Handsome embroidery, after the manner of Cossack uniforms reflects J < the glitter that was once Russian; < brilliant color, notably chanel red j and royal blue, with elaborate bead- j ing. show the Parisian influence, j j while the straight, tailored line for street wear is England's contribu i tion. Black, in rich materials, such as brocade, flat crepes and chiffon vel ! vets, is shown and a new coat-dress ' ensemble of black velvet trimmed with wide bands of white fox evoked enthusiasm- Skirts are short—almost to the knee —and tight; and many of the street dresses are sleeveless and cut low at the neck. Bellringers Out of Job. Mexico City, Aug. 5. —Clergy, nuns and teachers are not the only suffer ers from the new religious laws which have come into operation in Mexico. As a result of the new regulations which virtually destroy the activities of the Catholic churches an enormous army of bellringers finds itself with out employment. One of the most striking features of Mexican life to" the casual visitors has always been the noise of .church bells. Every hamlet, * and many of the ranches of the country, have one or more Catholic churches, and each edifice is equipped with one or more | bell towers. The great cathedral in the City of Mexico has sixteen of these towers. It has always required a great army of men to keep the church bells going in Mexico. It is estimated that that in this city alone there have been more than 2,000 bellringers regularly employed. On days of religious cele brations the number has been aug mented, as it has been the custom to keep up the ringing of the bells through the day and night on such occasions. 4 MCE FOR TRUCE IN MEXICO SEEMS LESS IT PRESENT !

In a serious ClgtfH at Guadalajara, one of the stron|e*t Catholic centers in the country, aii persons are reported dead and tm. teen wounded.

Small numbers of worshippers are seen in the Catholic Aurehes. The cathedral continues closed pending completion of an inventory of its treasures for the government. Knights of Columbus Protest.
