" WASHINGTON', D. C, ' Aug. 19.
(Special.) Governor Cox has begun to
talk about Senator Harding's personal
relation to a big political "ring" and
to a "senatorial oligarchy," and today.
In his address to members of the Ohio
legislature. Senator Harding began to
talk back in the same strain.
This is not the most dignified kind
of argument for Cox to start. And It
doesn't exalt the campaign for Hard
ing to reply with "you're another.'
But since the candidates . them'selves
have begun it, it is permissible for
an outsider to make an examination
of both the glass houses from the
point of view of the house as a whole
and especially from the point of view
of the independent voter.
Both Under Obligations.
Gambling, Bootlegging and Similar
Conditions in North End to
, . ' Be Attacked.
A general crusade against gambling.
bootlegging and other forms of vice
n the north end' and elsewhere in
he city is about to be launched, ac
cording to reports from the city hall
and the police station. That such a
move is involved in the shifting about
of various officers and men by Mayor
Baker and Chief of Police Jenkins
was not denied by these officials. It
was said the campaign wouil De
naugurated Monday when changes in
personnel throughout the police serv-
ce will take effect.
Mayor Baker in the past has tried
several ways to bring about a
clean up. The proprietors of sev
era lsoft drink establishments have
been arrested and their licenses
are now before the city council
for revocation, but vice condi-
ions generally continue to be bad.
The mayor was said to be dissatisfie-d
with the slow progress made by the
police bureau in the fight.
The changes in personnel include
the assigning of Sergeant Kills to
emergency work with eight men
under his command. The Ellis squad
Is said' to be the group on which the
mayor is placing his hope for re
sults. This squad, it is said, will
work independent of the station and
will report direct to Chief Jenkins
and Mayor Baker.
Mayor Baker yesterday refused to
divulge any of his plans further than
to say that he was familiar with con
ditions and that he expected a remedy
within a short time.
Counsel Is Preferred to
That of Bosses.

Independence of-Action Preserved
W hen Executive Proposed Snr
render, Senator Declares.
To your correspondent there has
always seemed to be an odd coinci
dence between Senator Harding's rela
tion to the politicians who backed
him at Chicago and Governor Cox's
relations to the politicians who put
him across at San Francisco.
In tho first place, each of the can
didates is under extraordinary obli
gations to a single politician. Gover
nor Cox is indebted for his noraina
tion to EL Moore more than to any
other one ma n. In tho same way Sena
tor Harding is Indebted to Harry
Daugherty for his nomination more
than to any other man
Governor Coxr just after his nomi
nation, made public a statement of his
obligations to Moore by presenting
the latter a gold watch and issuing a
public statement to the effect that he
was under greater obligation to Moore
than he could ever repay.
Public'M Interest Clear,
Right there, of course, comes th
public interest in this whole matter.
Tho relation of Cox to Moore and of
Harding to Daugherty becomes o
public interest only on the assumption
that either of these candidates might
if successful, be embarrassed by
demand for repayment on the part of
the respective politicians, not from
Cox personally, nor from Harding per
sonally, but from the president of the
United States officially. The pcopl
are interested only in obligations in
which the president of the Unite
States may be called on to pay out of
public patronage or other forms of
public favor. That is the whole poln
as regards Cox and Harding: jawin
at each other alone this line.
Your correspondent in comparing
the relative desirability of the two
candidates has always felt that Moore
and Daugherty check each other off,
go to speak.
Both Able Individuals.
Probably both Moore and Daugherty
will resent this last sentence vio
lently. Moore undoubtedly thinks he
is better than Daugherty, and Daugh
erty would be shocked to think he
should be put in tho same class as
Moore.
Both are extremely able individuals
and everyone who has ever had any
ordinary personal relations with them
likes them. Each in his way is a big
man.
It was not a case of Harding em
ploying Daugherty to be his manager,
nor of Cox asking Moore to round
tilings up lor turn. Jt was rather a
case of a very able politician taking a
survey of tho situation in his party,
of picking a man with whom he felt
he could make a killing and going
to it. What Moore is to the demo
cratio party in Ohio Daugherty is to
tho republican party. Each is the
ablest politician in the old-fashioned
sense in his party.
Application la UeneraL
This description does not. need to be
restricted to Ohio. There are few
abler politicians anywhere than these
men. And it is just because they are
politicians that the Ohio public out
side the circles of those who have
come to like the two men through
personal contact are supiclous about
tial candidate that each more or less
has made.
Tho nature of the . indictment
against the two differs somewhat.
Daugherty, Ohio folks who don't like
him say, is the sort of politician that
is illustrated by one episode in his
career. This one specific count,
-which they claim illustrates the whole
story, is an advantage which they
allege Daugherty once took in his
relation to Taft. Daugherty had, to
come degree, the same relation to Taft
that he now has to Harding. Daugh
erty managed one of Taft's campaigns
in Ohio. Thereafter Daugherty turned
up in Washington with a request that

S. NATIONALITY SAVED
MARION, O., Aug. 19. Senator
Harding, reaffirming his faith in
party sponsorsnip In government,"
aid in a speech today that his dem
ocratic critics were correct in sup
posing that, if elected, he would
permit the senate to have some say
n determining the policy of the gov
ernment."
"The senate 6aved American nation-
lily In 1919 and 1920," he said, "when
the executive jDroposed to surrender
it. If a republican administration is
chosen you can be certain thUt the
senate will have something to say
about the foreign relations as the
constitution contemplates. I would
rather have the counsel of the senate
than that of all the political bosses
want to have done with personal
government. I want to put an end
o autocracy reared in the name of
democracy."
Filibuster Held Justified.
The senator also referred to the
senate filibuster, which blocked sev
eral big appropriation bills in the last
days of the democratic congress, and
said that while he did not approve it,
at the time, the result had saved
about a billion dollars by putting the
supply measures over into the repub
lican congress.
The rule , requiring a two-thirds
Vote in -the-' Sfcnaie to . ratify treaties
he characterized as one of the wisest
provisions in the constitution.
The league of nations was touched
on briefly. Senator Harding declar
ing that Article 10 would break
down the orderly processes of the
federal government by transferring
from congress to a foreign council
the rjower to decide when the nations
should go to war.
Official Oath Sacred.
"It would be a sorry thing," said
Senator Harding after commenting on
hist early legislative impressions, "for
public men to forget the oath o
office. Somehow, there has been i
tendency of late to Ignore this" obli
gation. It is not easy for me to for
Show Net Operating; Income
of $12,113,196.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. Trunk
line railroads incurred a deficit of
15,616,328 on June operations, ac
cording to a. preliminary report is
sued today by the interstate commerce
commission. Increased wage charges
which the roads have been obligated
to pay under the decision of the wage
board were included in a. part of the
mileage reported on, the commission
said, but it had not been ascertained
for all the lines.
Gross operating revenue during
June, the report said, was $480,949,-
000, while operating expenses were
$464,965,000. The ratio of expenses to
revenue was 96.7 per cent, while for
June, 1919, it was 83.5 per cent. In
addition, taxes totaled $3,469,000 while
back wages due under the increase of
the wage board amounted to $25,371,
765. .
Railroad -operations In all districts
except the western contributed to the
deficit, which, it is indicated, will be
somewhat larger than reported when
the full extent of the retroactive
wage ..increase is felt. The western
district showed.net operating income
of $1,113,196, while the deficit in the
eastern district was $19,161,553; in the
southern district $7,211,536, and in the
Pocahontas district a new sub-divl
sion, created by the commission to
apply the recent rate increase, the de
ficit was $1,356,434.
A note attached to the table said:
To compare earning power of
roads in 1920 and 1919, it should be
notea mat corporate war taxes are
not included in 1919 returns; that The
revenue of all roads for six months
of 1928 include approximately $50,000,
000 back mail pay, and that the in
crease wage accrual resulting from
decisions by the state and railroad
labor boards ' retroactive to May 1
are incomplete."

Driver Inquiring Way and
Goes in Pursuit. '
The "scholarly-looking highway
man with spectacles, who held up
wo taxicab drivers Wednesday night.
and robbed both of their money and
one of his taxicab, was arrested last
night by Patrolman Humphreys after
the robber .had held up L. N. McCon
nell, driver of a for-hire car, and
robbed him of $7 -nd his automobile.
The prisoner confessed that he had
committed all three robberies be
cause he had no money and could not
get work. . He said his name was
Frank Payne, alias Frank De Feyter,
and that he was 17 years old. He told
the police that he arrived in Portland
Wednesday morning en route to Los
Angeles, Cal., whero he wanted to act
n the movies,
McConnell reported to the police
that the robber hired him at Sixth
and Washington streets to drive to a
number on Hillcrest avenue. The
chauffeur told his fare that he did
not know of any Hillcrest avenue, and
suggested ' that they try Hillcrest
drive on Council Crest. The holdup
was committed near Vista avenue and
Spring street.
Young Payne drove to the east side
in McConnell's car and his arrest fol
lowed a chase for about two miles on
Milwaukie street. Patrolman Hum
phreys was talking to Dr. Elmer E.
Anderson when Payne drove up and
asked if he was on the right road to
reach the Pacific 'highway and go
south. The physician answered in the
affirmative. Payne drove on, but the
policeman grew suspicious and asked
the doctor to give chase.
The fugitive speeded up when he
paw the doctor's machine following
him and the two machines went out
Milwaukie street at the rate of 57
miles an hour. At last the doctor's car
got close enough so that the police
man waved his revolver and threat
ened to shoot if Payne did not stop.
Payne slowed down and put up his
hands, allowing his automobile to run
against the curbing.
Payne freely admitted his crimes.
He declined to tell where lie had come
from, although he said he had been
in France, New York, Omaha, Neb.;
Denver. Colo.; Seattle, Wash., and
Alaska. The police think his home is
in Seattle.
Payne was identified by McConnell
aiid by V. A. Montgomery." driver, for
the City Taxicab company, who was
one of the victims Wednesday night.
Montgomery- reported the loss of $30
and his cab. Payne said he obtained
only 4 cents and two metal slugs from
him. The cab was found a short time
after the robbery.

tho 1500 meters race of the Olympic
games. It was the second most sen-
ational footraco of the seventh Olym
piad, being ust a little short of tho
hrills of the 800 meters race Tuesday.
All competitions today were held
in tho rain, giving English athletes
something of a home-like atmosphere.
They scored Impressively two firsts,
second and a sixth place for 16
points, one less than tho Americans.
who won one first, two thirds and
one fifth for 17 points. Sweden was
third in the scoring, taking one sec
ond, one fourth and one fifth place
for ten points.
Hay nun Off Feet.
The big upset came In the running
by A. G. Hill and P. J. Baker, both
Englishmen, of Ray off his feet.
While a few experts and trainers had
expected Ray would have difficulty,
most Americans supposed him to be
invincible and wagered accordingly.
Had the adherents of the Englishmen
been more plentiful they could hava
made what is known in sporting par
lance as a "killing," in the betting.
The caliber of the runners was
demonstrated by the time of the win
ner, 4 minutes 1 4-5 seconds, on a
slow, rain-soaked track. This time
was only six seconds more than tha
world's record.
Ray, who finished eighth, was cen
sured by some of the athletic authori
ties for his tactics against tho classy
field. They maintained that instead
of trying to set the pace at tho start.
Ray should have reserved his en
ergy for a fast sprint near the end.
Hill Leads In to Tape.
A. G. Hill, England, won the final
heat; P. J. Baker, another English
man, was second, ju. l. tnieias,

the lead at the start. After tho field
had straightened out, he led Hill and
Baker by three yards, with J. J.
Connolly of the Boston Athletic asso
ciation, fourth and Shields well back.
After the first lap Ray still was
ahead. On the back stretch in the
third lap Ray tried to jump the field,
but had no strength, and Hill easily '
passed hint.
