Europe Broken, Bleeding Continuing with the story of the Good Samaritan, Governor Cox said: Broken and bleeding, Europe is today like the wayfarer on the road to Jericho. If you tell me that America, like the selfish Levite. hould turn her back on this tragic scene and seek only her own safety and comfort, I will tell you that you are libeling and slandering the America in which I believe. "We must bind up the wounds and y co-operation so stabilize political and . economic conditions that the wounded world can speedily recover." Predicting his election. Governor Cox told a large gathering at North western university that his success would be "a great victory for the peace of the world." is not every disloyalist in this country supporting Harding?" asked one in the audience, from which arose several affirmative answers and then Governor Cox replied: The answer seems so self-evident that I need not respond." CHICAGO. Oct. 30. Governor Cox of Ohio virtually finished his presi- ential camDaisrn here tonight with series of speeches to many thousands of persons, to whom he pounded home his league of nations and other doc trines. Except for a final speech Monday night at Toledo, Ohio, today was the last and a rushing day oi campaigning for him. In addresses here, at Gary, Ind., and Evanston, 111., Governor Cox predicted victory for the "cause of peace in Tuesday's elections and urged his audiences to "vote as our soldiers fought to end the war." His largest audience was that to night in the Coliseum, where his re publican adversary, Senator Harding, was nominated. The governor's political repertoire and his personal stamina as well were taxed by the number and size of his audiences today in a programme which kept him the center of swirling crowds until midnight, when his train left for Dayton. America Held Pledged. That American entrance into the league of nations was a "pledge" to the men who fought in the world war and to their mothers a bond to end wars forever, if possible and also a measure for national and world progress, economic and moral, was stressed by Governor Cox in all of today's addresses. He reiterated vehement attacks on the league posi tion of Senator Harding and other opponents. Belief that President Wilson would be ready to retire from public life if the "league pledge" should be kept was expressed by the governor to an audience of women. Declaring that the president pre sented the "saddest picture in all history," and deploring what he termed the "malignant policy of hate" against the executive, Governor Cox said: "He thinks of one thing and one thing only. He talks of it more than anything else, and it is this: That he gave a promise to the mothers of America, and that the promise has not eeen Kept. League Cox's Big Topic. The women s meeting opened the governor's programme here. This afternoon the candidate Brave his views on labor, settlement of strikes without the bayonet" and other in dustrial questions to a crowd of sev eral hundred persons at Gary, Ind. .Returning here, the governor mo tored to Evanston. discussing the league issue with a large audience at .Northwestern university. His Coli aeum meeting tonight was preceded oy an automobile parade with torch lights, fireworks and other features. Tne league was the big topic In all of the governor's addresses. Eco nomic, as well as moral arguments in its behalf were emphasized and he reiterated charges that Senator Harding was evasive on the issue and "trying to wiggle and wobble into the presidency. Governor Cox continued his attack on the Des Moines speech of his opponent and also assailed the senator's address last night at Cincinnati, in which the republican nominee, the governor said, "again expressed the creed of selfishness ' for America, "I know he's going to stay in Ohio alter aiarcn 4," Governor Cox de clared. again predicting defeat for his adversary and lso many other republican senators who signed the "round robin," designated by the governor as the basest conspiracy in ai tne nistory or tne world. Harding Support Rapped. "If Harding is elected you'll have continued confusion 'and no result.' the governor said, detailing what he said were numerous groups with conflicting views aligned in support oi senator uaraing. Governor Cox dieclared repeatedly mat his own election would be -positive marinate-' for American en trance Into the league of nations and that success of Senator Harding would be no mandate whatever." In presenting economic argument for the league, the governor, in hi Gary speech, predicted "smokeles chimneys there and throughout th nation should America stay out o the league. American membership, he asserted, would bring "an unpre cedented era of prosperity," through restoration of European credit and purchasing power. la his Coliseum speech tonight the governor attacked especially' Senator Harding's statement at Des Moines that "we must consecrate ourselves to the welfare of America and not of the rest of the world." Fl Patriotism Decried. "Applied to individuals, it is the doctrine of egotism." he said. "Ap plied to nations, it is the doctrine of isolation. And in both cases It Ls the doctrine of selfishness. To talk glibly about 'America only,' as if that were what patriotism means, is as foolish as it is false. That kind of patriot ism is cheap and spurious patriotism. The true patriot wants his country to be first in service, not first in self ishness. More than that, it is the ne gation of the New Testament and the Old Testament as well. "You will recall," the candidate said, "when the founder of Christian ity was preaching to a vast crowd beside the Sea of Galilee, in the midst of the sermon he was interrupted by a necKier in tne audience. Tne evan gelist, in his report of the meeting, says that 'a certain lawyer,' in order to trap the speaker, asked him, "Who is my neighbor?'

Mose Cbristensen, well-known dancing master, who succumbs to heart disease. musical circles, died early yesterday at Good Samaritan hospital from heart disease. The body Is at FInley's undertaking establishment pending arrangements for the funeral. Mr. Christensen, who was 49 years old and a native of Salt Lake City, went to the hospital two weeks ago. During the past few days he ap peared to be improving and his death yesterday was wholly unexpected. Mr. Chrlstenser. is survived by a widow, Carrie Christensen, and a son, Victor, both of Portland. He also leaves three brothers and two sisters, Fred Christensen, Seattle; Cris Chris tensen, Ogden; L. P. Christensen, Salt Lake City; Mrs. Christian Thompson, Salt Lake City, and Mrs. J. M. Bill ings. Ogden. Mr. Christensen came to Portland 11 years ago from Salt Lake City, and soon established himself as one of the leading dancing masters of the city and coast. He at one time served as president of the National Dancing Masters' association, and it was through his efforts that the national organization held its annual conven tion in Portland last summer. In addition to his standing in the dancing world, where he always was a strong advocate of the best and cleanest, he was a member of the Portland symphony orchestra. As vlolin'st. he ranked amonc the best on the Pacific coast. Mr. Christensen did much for the betterment of dancing conditions in Portland and among dancing masters of the United States he was looked upon as one of the leading author! ties. For three years past he had been in charge of the normal school for dancing masters, which has been con ducted in New York during tne sum met months. - Fraternally, Mr. Christensen was a member of the Elks' lodge of Boise, Idaho, of the Knights Templar and Mystic Shrine lodges of Portland. ' Object of Appearance for Defensa Is to Clear Himself of Odium Cast TTpon His 'Work. The case in the United States dis trict court dealing witu the alleged transaction of six men In altered war savings stamps, placed on the market after banks in the northwest had been robbed, will be resumed Wednesday morning, as Judge Wolverton ad journed court until that time in order to give the members of the jury an opportunity to cast their votes Tues day, The fight yesterday centered mainly about the efforts of the defense to prove that a promise of immunity had been made to Angelo Rossi, one of the defendants. William A. Glover, former secret service operative, who occupied the witness stand at the adjournment of court Friday, was the first witness called yesterday and his testimony aired a number of important angles of the case that Involves, in Its rami fications, Robert La Salle, former city detective; Dave Stein, Rossi, William Brenner, W. E. Smith and Fred Peterson, an ex-convict, who confessed to altering some of the stamps found in his possession, all as defendants. Operative Offera Immunity. Glover testified that, while he knew John Veatch, assistant United States attorney, in charge of the prosecu tion, would not attempt to shield any one. Joseph Walters, one of his oper atives, had promised Rossi immunity and that he had assured Rossi tnat he would not be double-crossed. This was Baid by iiover to have been be fore the time when the secret service knew .that Rossi was involvd in the disposal of the stamps, and the main reason was to endeavor to get a line on the men who had robbed a number of banks, and whose loot was esti mated at about $50,000. Glover, after reviewing his record as a secret service operative xor u years, until this fall, when he re signed of his ewn free will, caid that he wanted to get certain evi dence connected with his Tart in the present case introduced as a matter of public record, -and that this was the reason why, when he discovered that the government was not going to use him as a witness, he had asked Barnett Goldstein, a friend and for mer United States district attorney with whom he had worked on several cases, to ask certain questions one day last week that were challenged by veatch as Having been asKea lor a purpose. Goea Over to Defense. Glover also told how, when he found that be waa not going to be called by the prosecution, he asked to be called as a witness for the de fense so that be might air his con nection with the case. Glover told how he had been asked by his chief in Washington to give his version of certain report by a federal grand jury concerning the present case. He said that he had not as yet made any answer as he wanted the testimony, now being given in open court and taken down by a stenographer, to go to Washington. Glovers admission that an effort had been made to make a stool pigeon, or Informant, out of Rossi, in this case, was qualified by the statement of both himself and his assistant, Walters, that they thus hoped to gain information of such value that it would more than offset the protection of Rossi. They were blocked in this, they said, by the United States attorney's office taking the case out of their hands and plac ing it In the hands of the special investigation department of the de partment of justice.

Albany. The Court of Appeals has denied motions for a re-argument of the so-called New York City five-cent fare cases. This decision culminated these proceedings as far as the courts are concerned. The Court of Appeals recently held that where a maximum local trolley fare -was fixed by franchise agreement the Public Service Commission was without authority to alter such fare. It was held that the only remedy available to the traction com panies was the consent of the governing board of the city. The application for the eight-cent fare was made by the rapid transit companies of New York City. DAN KELL AHER for M ayor FARES! HT1 U Tkl BALLOT 99X (Paid Adv., Kellaher for Mayor Committee, by M.

Joseph Herns, a Jeweler, and then returned the money to Rossi, on his urgent plea that he needed it. John Veatch in sisted that the government has naade no use of any information in this case obtained from Rossi under any promise of immunity, and that all of the evidence that he gave and that has been used was of his own free will, after he had been duly warned of hia position as a possible defendant! In his testimony yester day Glover failed to recall any other specific Instance of the government granting immunity, under similar cir cumstances. ?mtth was on the stand when the case was adjourned and likely will be the first man up when the trial is resumed.
