WASHINGTON. Auk. 22. (Special.)
WARSAW, Aug. 22 (By the As
sociated Press.) Military authorities
announced today that the Poles cap
tured 35,000 prisoners today in their
counter-attack against the bolsheviki.
Many guns, thousands of rifles, hun
dreds of machine Runs and motor
carts and great numbers of horses
also were taken. Thousands of Rus
sians are thought to be cut off in
the forests awaiting an opportunity
to surrender. .
Among the 300 bolshevik soldiers
killed in the fighting at Mlawa were
W IX A I I found, it is claimed, a German .of fleer
land several German soldiers.
The bolshevik armies northwest of
Warsaw, between the Vistula and
Prussia, are sending wireless appeals
for help. The intercepted messages
repeatedly have asked bolshevik
headquarters for ammunition and
supplies.
The bolshevik wireless has re
quested information concerning the
location of these troops the rear of
which is endangered by the Polish
advances..
The vanguard of this red army has
reached points about 100 kilometers
south of Danzig, so near the Camp

His Assertions.

DONORS DENIED
The republicans are this week in
the midst of making those senatorial 1 Grappe region around Graudenz that
nominations which, according to their
plans if they are successful, are to in
crease tbe republican preponderance
in the senate from the present ma
jority of eight or ten. One of tbe
seats which the republicans hope to
win away from the decorcats is that
of John F. Nugent of Idaho.
In Idaho both parties will hold their
tate conventions Tuesday. The dem
ocrats undoubtedly will renominate
Nugent and the republican convention
will select from five or six candidates
that one who they think would be
most likely to make a successful fight
against Nugent in November.
Lracue to Be laaue.
Whoever the republicans nominate.
the opposition to Nugent is apparent
ly to be based chiefly on the league
of nations. Republicans from Idaho
say that Senator Borah, in the role
of republican leader of the state, has
already been diligently organizing the
state and making speeches on this
Issue. Borah is by far the best and
ablest equipped of the league oppon
ents in the whole country and Wash
ington has little doubt of his being
able to dominate his state on this
issue.
the French officers advised the Amer
ican typhus expedition to move to
Danzig. This the Americans did.
The American consulate, which
moved from Warsaw to Graudenz
when Warsaw was threatened, also
proceeded to Danzig.
TRAIN HITS BUS; 8 KILLED
Automobile 'Containing 15 Persons
Struck by Electric Coach.
CAMDEN, N. J., Aug. 22. A Penn
sylvanla railroad electric t.-ain struck
an automobile bus containing 15 per
sons here tonight. Eight occupants
were killed and four others injured.
The bus had halted while a steam
train passed south. The driver, it is
said, evidently mistook the waving of
flag by the crossing watchman as
a signal to proceed and started across
the tracks just as an electric train
came rushing north. An 18-year-old
girl and two babies were tossed into
the railroad station and were dead
when picked up. Two men and three
women also were killed.
and the democrats would have a diffi
cult time in Idaho this fail. Nugent
won his seat six years ago by less
than 1000 votes. On that occasion he
had aid of the non-partisan league.
This time the non-partisan league
will have a candidate of its own
Smool'i Scat in Danger.
Another senatorial seat, decidedly
one of the most Important in the
whole body, will be determined, so
far as the two candidates are con
cerned, this week.
On Thursday the republicans of
Utah meet to nominate a successor to
Senator Smoot. They will unquestion
ably name Smoot himself. On the
following Monday the democrats ol
Utah meet to name their candidate to
run against Smoot. Here in Wash
Ington it is commonly assumed that
the democratic nomination will go to
James H. Moyle, who is at present in
Washington as an assistant secretary
of the treasury. The contest between
these two will be one of the most im
portant in the country.
Smoot is without question one of
the two leading republicans in the
senate. His long service of 18 years,
coupled with the fact that he is an
extraordinarily hard worker, has
given him such a command of the
senate business that the republicans
would feel his loss as a calamity at a
timo when they are hoping to take
over the work of reorganizing the
government.
Utah Politics Chancing.
The democrats base their hopes on
the claim that within the last four or
six years Utah has become a demo
cratic state. Senator Smoot is almost
the only republican office holder in
the state. The democrats have the
other senator and both congressmen.
They also have nearly every state
and county official.
The overturn of Utah in favor of
Wilson in 1916 was a land-lide almost
never paralleled in any Etate. In 1912
Utah was one of the only two states
the republicans carried. In the other,
Vermont. Taft got about 42,000 votes,
Roosevelt on the progressive 24,000
and Wilson 39,000, but In 1916 Wilson
got over 84,000 votes to Hughes' 54,000.
It is the momentum of this extraor
dinary landslide that the democrats
are counting on this year. This Utah
senatorial election will be watched
by the country with extreme interest.
. 2 CANDIDATES INDORSED
Grays Harbor Bolo Club Holds
Meeting at Montcsano.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Aug. 22. (Spe
cial.) The Grays Harbor Bolo club,
at a meeting held at Montesano, dis
cussed the merits of candidates who
applied to the club for Indorsement,
picking two and reserving the others
for further investigation. Those in
dorsed were Varde Steiglitz, ex-serv
ice man, for representative in the
state legislature, and Mrs. Olive

Ohio Senator Declares $1000
Limit Is Being Enforced.
Rival's Move Is A'ext.
MARION, O., Aug. 22. Governor
Cox s charge of a republican cam
paign fund of $15,000,000 was charac
terized by Senator Harding today as
"absolutely untrue" and "perfectly
ridiculous."
Mr. Harding, declaring he seconded
cordially the challenge of Republican
National Chairman Hays to the demo
cratic nominee to produce evidence of
excessive republican contributions,
said he was not fearful of the results
of any investigation.
"We court the fullest investigation
of our fundr in every respect," he
tald. "Not only are statements of ex
cessive expenditures absolutely un
true, but as a matter of fact we are
having difficulty in producing funds
we legitimately need to conduct the
campaign as it should be conducted.
Stories of a $16,000,000 fund are per
fectly ridiculous."
Campaign Coats Declared Rising.
Senator Harding added that the
wave of advancing costs and the en
franchisement of women had raised
the legitimate financial requirements
of the national campaign, but he de
clared his party's money chest con
tained "nothing like" the total named
by his democratic opponent.
Asked whether any of the money
raised .by the national eommitteetJ
fore the Chicago convention would be
used in the campaign, he said it all
had been expended by convention
time and that in making its arrange
ments at Chicago the party treasury
had been compelled to borrow "some
thing like a quarter of a million dol
lars." The senator's attention was called
to Governor Cox's charges that the
$1000 limit fixed by republican man
agers had been evaded by "dummy"
contributions. He again declared he
would welcome any proof of the as
sertion and when he was asked
whether the party would return
money found to have been given
through "dummy" contributors, he
replied :
"I think that Is rather a far
fetched hypothesis."

London Times Says It Understands
That Parliament Has Agreed
to Favorable Action.
LONDON, Aug. 23. The London
Times says this morning It under
stands that Great Britain has agreed
to recognize the independence of
Egypt.
The decision, according to the Lon
don Times, resulted from recent con
versations between the Viscount Mil
ner mission, which recently visited
Egypt, and an Egyptian delegation,
headed by Said Zagloul Pasha, former
minister of justice.
Among the fundamental points of
the agreement are:
Egypt will recognize Great Brit
ain's privileged position in the valley
of the Nile and agree in case of war
to afford every facility for access to
Egyptian territory; Great Britain will
maintain a garrison in Egypt; in the
canal zone Egypt regains control of
foreign relations, subject to "her not
making treaties contrary to British
policy and will have the right to
maintain diplomatic representatives
abroad. Capitulations will be abol
ished.

Aberdeen Assessor Finds Gains Due
to Car Shortage.
ABERDEEN, Wash.. Aug. 22.
(Special.) Large Increases in as
sessed valuation were reported yes
terday by the county assessor's of
fice. In some cases increases have
been due to abnormal conditions in
industries of the harbor, as in
shingles, in which the value of stock
in mill yards has increased from
$87,610 last year, to $846,080 for 1920,
because of a. shortage of railroad
rolling stock.
The only decrease in valuation
listed is in unimproved land, held
last year on a 50 per cent actual
Valuation at $2,225,936, and this year
at $-',139,523. The decrease is said to'
be due to reclassification.
Governor Roberts Declares He Will j
Permit No Act Intended to I
Nullify Ratification. I
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 22. From
the snarl of legal and legislative
technicalities that have enmeshed
Tennessee's ratification of the suf
"rage amendment tonight came the
prediction of the Tennessee constitu
tional league that the injunction
against certification of the ratifica
tion, obtained yesterday, would pre
vent enfranchisement of American
women for at least a year and a
half.
ROSS TAKES SWIM HEAT' The constitutionaI sue. which

ground that the state constitution
prohibited the present legislature
from acting, made its prediction in
a message to the governors of Ver
mont, Connecticut. Florida, Alabama,
Louisiana. Delaware and South Caro
lina. The message declared that
Tennessee had not ratified the suf
frage and served notice that any
state official who attempted certifi
cation .would be attacked for con
tempt of court under the injunction,
which the league announced would,
if necessary, be carried to the high
est court.
Suffrage advocates reiterated their
contention that the action of the
house yesterday in defeating the
".Valkcr reconsideration motion and
in ordering the senate joint resolu
tion of ratification transmitted to
the senate for engrossing to be un- I
assailable, despite lack of a quorum.
Governor Roberts tonight declared
he had been informed by Stale Attorney-General
Thompson that the
action of the two houses of the legis
lature constitutes a ratification of
he amendment and consequently he
would countenance no act intended

representing Finland and holder of
several American distance records and
championships, today won the seventh
Olympic Marathon. He showed won
derful endurance and covered the dis
tance. 26 miles 3S5 yards. In the re
markable time of 2 hours 32 minutes
35 4-5 seconds, through mud and rain.

The eight years that have passed
since Kolehmainen won three cham
pionships at the Stockton Olympics
seem to have passed lightly over his
head and to have increased, rather
than diminished, his stamina and
speed. xnrougn. almost the entire
distance Kolehmainen was closely at

others with the stadium aimost in

A o Americana Win Points.
Lossman made a determined effort
to overhaul the Finn, but was unable
to qu'te do the trick, although only
a few seconds separated them at the
end.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth
men to finish and thus win points
came in rapidly and in exceptionally
good condition. The first American
to cross the line, Joe Organ of Pitts
burg, was seventh, less than ten min
utes behind the winner. '
Carl Llnder of Qulncy, Mass., and
Charles Mellor, Chicago, were 11th
and 12th, while Arthur Roth, St. Al

gave out after 14 miles.
Among the Canadian contestants in
the marathdn, Dellow, whose time
was 2:46:47, was placed thirteenth
and Scholes fifteenth.
The race was run In an almost
steady downpour of rain; the air was
raw and cold. The contestants
passed over country fields and
through small, villages, switching
constantly from gravel paths and
cobblestone and brick walks to mud
roads. But it appeared to affect but
little the stamina of the leaders.
Both Kolehmainen and Lossman
finished strong; then ran around the
tr&ck, together, the victor wearing a
wreath of flowers and the Finnish
flag.

lives in Qulncy, Mass., but, like the
winner, he came home to run for

Autoisls Watch Experiment.
EVERETT, Wash.. Aug. 22. (Spe
cial.) Alfred Hubbard, Seattle boy
inventor, who has been working for
some timo upon an atmospheric
generator, gave two demonstrations
of its use when installed in an auto
mobile in Everett yesterday. Fol
lowing his exhibition on July 29 in
Lake Union with a motorboat, young
Hubbard began to prepare for a test
of his invention in propelling auto- '
mobiles.
Friday night the car was run "In
the garage under power from the gen.
erator and It was decided prelimi
naries had gone far enough for a
more conclusive test. At 10 o'clock yes
terday morning the automobilo was
towed to 3208 Norton avenue where
Alfred Hubbard lives with his uncle,
James Hubbard. Here three of the
atmospheric generators were put on
the running board and connections
were made with the motor under the
hood. Albert Burke explained later:
"With Tom Hopkins at the wheel
we went down to Norton and out
Norton to Twenty-fifth. We turned
there and came back up to Pacific
on Grand across to Norton and up
the steep hill to the house, all with
out trouble. The automobile took
the hill well; there was plenty of
power; our speed was about 22 miles
an hour, and there was nothing un
usual In the operation of the car. The
distance covered was sixteen city
blocks.
Wlrea Begin Smoke.
Smoking of the wires connecting
the generator and the motor was
the cause of stopping the test this
forenoon Hubbard said, and he sent
to Seattle for a controller. This
wasn't received in time for the night
trial, however.
"It drives just like any car except
that it goes into action easier than
the gas motor and more like the elec
tric. It is also quieter."
"It need3 to be adjusted by way or
gears and that sort of thing, but
that's a minor need and the essen
tial fact remains that the power is
there," said Fred Durr.
Saturday afternoon at the Hubbard
home a 60-pound generator was taken
from the house and put on the auto
mobile at the curb. The Hood was
lifted showing the naked interior
where the 400-pound gas engine or
dinarily is found. Here low down
was what was said to be a specially
wound motor jacket connecting
with a fly wheel. The car was thrown
into neutral and the wires of the
generator were touched to the connec.
tion3 with the motor. It acted im
mediately continuing until wires were
again disconnected. This 60-pound
generator was not the one tested out
in the morning, but is the one which
Alfred Hubbard thinks will be suit
able for automobile operation. With
the motor it was only a little over
100 pounds. The coil used in the
morning was that used in .the motor
boat test. Tbe one used tonight was
different.
Fen Know of Test.
The coil has the appearance of a
huge spool of white wound wire on
bases about a foot square. The spool
la about a foot high. Generator and
motor together occupy less space than
the gas engine of the car.
Few persons, except those connect
ed with the garage, knew about the
demonstration in the morning until
it was over, but the announcement
that the machine would be driven
through the principal streets at 8
o'clock last night attracted crowds.
The automobile was delivered stripped
of an engine to the boy's home on
Norton avenue. About the time for
the scheduled demonstration on the
streets uptown in the evening, the
coil, rather heavy and about 12x12
Inches, was carried from the house
to the running board of the machine.
Lifting off the hood, the ends of the
long wiro strands connected with the
automobile's motor, were taken out
and touched to the short leads from
the "atmospheric generator" or coils
as this body was resting outside the
machine. Instantly the connection
sputtered and flashed, then became
steady as the automobile motor
whirred.
After this primary test the "gerera
tor" was placed inside a wooden box
in the car's back seat and longer
wires, size double, were streamed
from it to the motor leads. No sooner
were the wires touched together
again than the automobile started
slowly up the dirt hill, turned and
came to the paved highway.
Many Watch Test.
The car advanced between fie and
ten miles an hour. Five minutes ol
steady traveling brought the wire t.
nearly the scorching point. 80 Hjb-
