WASHINGTON, May 27. Senate ln
Yestigation into pre-conventlon ex
penditures in behalf of presidential
candidates today brought forth in
formation as to plans to put William
G. McAdoo's name before the demo
cratic national convention and an as
sertion from John T. King, original
manager for Major-General Leonard
"Wood, that Dan R. Hanna of Cleve
land, early in the general's campaign,
had promised "to go out and gather
in 500,000." In reply to questions,
Mr. King said he did not know
whether the money was received.
As to three presidential candidates
whose expenditures the committee In
spected for the first time, testimony
was presented showing that 113,109
had been contributed for Senator
Harding of Ohio, 68,375 for Governor
Coolidge of Massachusetts, J40.500 for
Nicholas M. Butler of New York, all
republicans.
Conference Is Related.
Tn i-esnect to the candidacy of Mr
McAdoo, Dr. Burris Jenkins, publisher
of th Kansas City
Post, told the
committee tnat ne nao. come 10 Well
ington for a conference last night
with Jouett Shouse, assistant secre
tary of the treasury; Daniel C. Roper,
ex-commissioner of internal revenue;
Commissioner Robert Woolley of the
interstate commerce commission, and
Frank Wilson, ex-director of liberty
loan publicity.
Dr. Jenkins explained that he had
been asked to place Mr. McAdoo in
nomination at the San Krancisco con
vention, but of any funds to be used
in behalf of the ex-secretary of the
treasury he knew nothjng, he said.
Resuming its inquiry Into the cam
paign of Attorney-General Palmer,
the committee finished its day with
ex-Federal Judge J. H. Covington, na
tional treasurer of the Palmer cam
paign, answering questions designed
by the inquisitors to show connection
of several Palmer supporters, as
named on the contribution list previ
ously produced, with the office of the
alien property custodian, of which Mr.
Palmer was the war-time head.
Covington Is Interrogated.
Judge Covington's legal representa
tion of the Revere Sugar company of
Boston, which has a case pending be
fore the department of justice, also
was touched upon.
Ta a question as to whether his
activities in behalf of Mr. Palmer
were occasioned by his quasi-governmental
legal associations, Mr. Cov
ington gave an unqualified negative.
Only nine men on the contribution
list, he said, "had any connection, di
rect or indirect," with the adminis
tration of alien property.
Mr. King's testimony concerned the
early organization of the Wood cam
paign, its financing under his direc
tion to the extent of $91,000 and his
retirement in favor of Colonel Will
iam C. Procter. He denied reports
that the Wood campaign had- been
underwritten by a group of wealthy
men, who attended a dinner given bj
the late Henry C. Frick for the pur
pose. "A question of policy," Mr. King
said, caused him to withdraw as Gen
eral Wood's manager.
The witnesses denied that the financ
ing of General Wood's campaign was
taken up at the much-discussed din
tier at the New York home of Henry
C Frick. He also denied that he had
ilscussed the subject with George
"VV. Perkins.
"I raised about $91,000 as I re
member it," he said, "$30,000 in con
tributions and about $50,000 which
I secured on my own note. They then
owed rne some money when I quit."
"Where did the contributions come
from?" asked Chairman Kenyon.
Dam Hanna Mentioned.
"A Major Hooker on General Wood's
Haff tn Chicago told mo that $25,000
ould be sent me," vac the answer.
'I got in the mail from Chicago one
cashier's check for $15,000 and an
other for $10,000. Then two of Gen
eral Wood's friends, whose names I
do not remember, sent checks for
$2500 each."
"Who brought you into touch with
General Wood?" asked Senator Reed.
"I think it was Pan Hanna," Mr.
Kins said, adding: "He and William
Loeb told me of a plan to make Gen
eral Wood a candidate." Mr. King
paid "Mr. Hanna agreed to raise halt
a million dollars. It was not dis
cussed with General Wood.".
"Dir Mr. Hanna ever raise any
money and turn it over to you
"He did not."
"Why didn't he?"
'1 don't know; that was what I was
trying to find out when I left.1
"What did you do with the $91,000?"
Senator Reed asked.
Fund Spent in Six States.
"Used it for traveling expenses and
publicity. Some money went into
Mates six of them."
"What states?"
"Georgia, Florida, Massachusetts,
Oregon. Nebraska there may have
been one other."
Mr. King said $5000 was sent to
Oreson to a man named Doro at
Portland."
"I've never seen him since," the wit
ness added.
"The net result of your 11 months"
connection with General Wood's cam
paign was the expenditure of $91,
000?'" asked Senator Edge, republi
can. rew Jersey.
"Yes." the witness replied.
James B. Reynolds, ex-treasurer of
the republican national committee,
testified that he had managed a cam
paign for Governor Coolidge of Mas
sai-husetts, us "long as there was i
campaign." He said the largest ex
penditure was about $22,000 for the
book on his career and speeches, and
no money was sent out of Massa
chusetts.
Judge J. Harry Covington, treas
urer of the campaign organization
supporting Attorney-General Palmer,
was called to identify subscribers to
funds collected by it. He denied hav
ing been connected with the alien
property custodian staff. He said he
was counsel for several German
owned chemical companies the cus
todian took over.
"Mr. Palmer had you appointed?"
Chairman Kenyon pursued.
"Oh. undoubtedly, but I was paid
from the corporation funds. I never
received a dollar from the govern
ment." He also testified that Joseph
F. Guffey was connected with the
alien custodian, as director of sales
at $1 a year.
"He's a very wealthy man; has
given $10,000 up to date without be
ing asked for anything."

NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
A GALAXY of entertainment is
"Hitchy-Koo," a.continuoua bill
of polite and sometimes not so polite
vaudeville, with the same excellent
performers occupying numerous roles
throughout the scenes. The sonorous
voiced, shaggy haired Mr. Hitchcock
plays, of course, the main role in
many of the episodes, with George F.
Moore tagging along in his comedy
wake. There is infinite variety in
everybody's performance.
Mr. Hitchcock's drolleries still run
smoothly, his voice is as sepulchral
and musicless as we have always re
membered it, and his achievements
teem to be just as originally pleas
ing as they have ever been. He
renews acquaintance advantageously.
He still pursues his friendly habit of
hobnobbing with the folk who pay
three dollars and more for a seat to
eit in and laugh. Last night he found
targets for his original comedy in
various local lights, picking them out
in the boxes and chatting amiably and
in neighborly way with close-ups in
and aisles and front rows. A ripple
of excitement followed when a quar
tet of Portland's finest trooped down
the aisle and staged a pseudo arrest,
which was sid-stepped skillfully by
Mr. Hitchcock.
The scenes of the numerous sets are
extremely handsome, mostly of the
Impressionistic school, and .beautifully
colored. One curtain, in jade greens
and blues, with padded fruit and
flower motifs strung across it, is most
unique.
Another picture is a woodland glade
where a travesty on "Pocahontas" is
given effective interpretation, with
comedy of caricature and grace and
lissome dancing maids.
A temple in India is another picture
of delights in color and sound, with
Florence O'Denishawn amazingly
graceful and a slim princess of dance
n a spectacular interpretative- .num
ber. An "old-fashioned garden" is an
other memorable moment, with pretty
maids and young men in old-fashioned
garb bowing and pirouetting while
charming Rita Dane sings of old
fashioned days. She is a very pic
turesque personage, is Rita Dane, and
sings sweetly. Of the comedy mo
ments there's a barber-shop happen
ing with Hitchcock as a tonsorial im
presario and Bert Savoy, feminine im
personator, doing a manicure vam
pire.
Humorous, too, is a telephone story,
with Hitchcock patiently waiting for
a number while the operator gives
him wrong numbers, no numbers or
busy. A climacteric sequel shows
Hitchcock's whiskers to his knees,
the telephone girl's hair snowy and
years elapsed while she still replies
that the line is busy. Its timeliness
and truthfulness make this playlet
Keenly relished.
Two cunning sisters, one just a
cutie and one a precocious childlet.
have a specialty in songs set to
smiles. Chief Eagle Horse, who has
an excellent singing voice, and
teeman from Pennsylvania?" Chair
man Kenyon pursued.
"He's just been elected," Mr. Cov
ington returned,
Senator Edge asked if Fred V.
Lynch of Minnesota, who contributed
250, had not been made president of
the Bayer company after the property
custodian took it over.
'1 believe eo," Mr. Covington re
plied, adding that Mr. Lynch also be
came an officer of a confiscated Ger
man steamship company.
'Do you know about a meeting in
New York city this week, with Mr.
Lynch, Clark Howell of Georgia, and
one or two others, where it was ar
ranged to turn the whole Palmer
campaign over to Bernard M. Baruch
for Mr. McAdoo?" Chairman Kenyon
asked.
Judge Covington said he knew of
no such meeting and added: 1 only
know about Maryland where I have
tried to go as a delegate to San Fran-
Cisco. I couldn t make a dent in tne i
organization." 1
Explanation was asked. "Well, it
was because I was for Mr. Palmer and
the delegation is to go for Mr. Mc
Adoo."
15,000 Fee Is Recalled.
More discussion of alien property
affairs brought from Mr. Covington
the statement that one fee to him in
t,he matter of the Bayer company was
$15,000. Mr. Crocker, he said, re
ceived $10,000 in the same case.
'Your professional relationships
have not influenced you to the assist
ance of the Palmer campaign, has
it?" Senator Pomerene asked.
'It has not. I should have sup
ported Mr. Palmer in any case, Mr.
Covington returned.
The committee got into a warm
partisan discussion wnen senator
Edge read a series of names of direc
tors appointed by the alien property
office for seized companies ana citea
their political status as democrats.
The name of Mr. Crocker appeared
several times.
Sugar Company Represented.
"You represent a sugar company
here don't your the chairman asked.
"The Revere Sugar Refining com
pany of Boston, Mass.," Mr. Covington
replied.
"Had. a conference yesterday witn
Attorney-General Palmer about its
affairs?" Chairman Kenyon asked.
"I did, or rather went with the
president of the company into such
conference," Mr. Covington said.
"Have you had some conferences
here about tho dye bill?" Chairman
Kenyon asked.
"Yes, I've had a good deal to do
with it."
"Are you employed by the Du
Ponts?"
"No, by the American dyes council,"
Mr Covington returned.
FAY TO DORO UNEXPLAINED
Dow Walker Unable to Identify
Man Named as Getting; $5000.
No explanation of the statement
made by John T. King before a con
gressional investigating committee re
garding the transfer of $5000 to
Portland man named Doro could be
furnished yesterday by local head
quarters for the Leonard Wood cam
paign.
When notified of the press dispatch
giving Mr. King's statement, Dow V.
Walker, manager of General Wood's
headquarters here, said that he was
unable to identify the person named
as the recipient of the o000 check.
"A full statement of funds received
and expended in Oregon by the Leon
ard Wood organization is being pre
pared," said Mr. Walker, "and will
be available when required by proper
authority."
"I received a check for $5000 from
headquarters," stated Dow V. Walker,
manager of the Wood campaign in
Oregon, last night. "This check was
not signed by Mr. King and I had no
financial dealings with Mr. King, al
though I met him. He may have had
dealings with someone in this state
before I took charge last uecemoer
I have never heard of a man named
Doro."

A SLICE right out of a circus tops
the Hippodrome bill and from Its
beginning to the last whirl of the

interest. When the curtain rises on

on their hind legs with their fore
feet braced on pedestals, while a
diminutive equestrienne. Miss Dock
rill, and her athletic partner, Mr. Hol
land, pose artistically on the backs
of the two outer horses, the picture is
so startling that applause rings out
all over the house. The four horses
are handsome1 and groomed to a
satiny smoothness. One of them Is
trained to dance modern steps and
cake walk. Mr. Holland puts the trick
horse through a series of clever
capers. One of these is a remarkable
feat, that of making a circle with his
dancing hind feet around his front
feet which remain stationary and be
come crossed as the circle progresses.

SUGAR HEARING CLOSES
W. II. GORE ' SATS MEDFORD
FEIT "DOUBLE CROSSED."
Surprises Sprang Before Abrupt
Halt; Case to Be Resumed
in East.
MEDFORD. Or., May 27. (Special.)
The hearing in the matter of the
Utah-Idaho Beet Sugar company,
which has been on here this week, un
expectedly came to art end late today.
The federal trade commission party
leaves for San Francisco- Saturday to
continue the hearing there, and then
moves to New York City to hear other
phases of the case, and from there
will go to Salt Lake City to finish
taking testimony, especially that of
the defense. Only witnesses for the
government were examined herj
The defense sprung a surprise- to
day when W. H. Gore, Medford banker
and member of the legislature, was
under cross-examination, by introduc
ing evidence in contradiction to Mr.
Gore's assertion that he did not know
until the spring of 1915 that Medford
would be expected to finance the fac
tory. Mr. Gore testified that when he
first heard from Alexander Nibley
that Medford would be expected to
finance the factory, it was a great
surprise and that he and the other
Medford men felt that they had been
"double crossed." -
Franklin Bramwcll of Grants Pass,
who was put on the stand this after
noon by Special Attorney Beer for
the commission, under cross-examination
told that early in 1914 Colonel
J. F. Mundy of Medford worked with
himself and Alexander Nibley for the
establishment of a factory at Grants
Pass or Medford but that his services
in- this line of w.ork were eventually
dispensed with.
F. C. Bramwell, cashier, of the
Grants Pass Banking company and
son of Franklin Bramwell, testified
that in September, 1916, at a banquet
of-the sugar beet growers and busi
ness men of Grants Pass. Thomas
Cutler, general mana'ger of the Utah
Idaho company, in a speech declared
that the sugar factory at Grants Pass
was there to stay. This factory was
dismantled and moved to Toppenish,
LWash. H. C. Garnett. Medford busi
ness man, also testified that along the
line that the Utah-Idaho officials had
given local business men to under
stand that the factory would be built
at Medford if a 6000 beet sugar grow
ing acreage was signed up in the
valley.

they build goodwill and greatest satisfaction among
all of his customers.
