at his homo in Farming-ton. It read:
"On board U. S. S. General Goethals,
at sea, September 2 Send destroyers
with gear to relieve crew In sub
merged submarine S-5. Been in this
condition 35 hours. Bring material
for cutting through hull."
Inquiry at the United States sub
marine base at New London brought
a statement from officers that noth
ing was known there about the report.
Officers said, however, a submarine
could remain submerged for a much,
longer period than 36 hours without
danger to the crew
The United States destroyer Over
ton sailed from the navy-yard to
night to the rescue of the submarine.
Officials expected her to reach the
submerged vessel at daybreak.

Was of Automobiles.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2. A freight " train
of 21 cars loaded with automobiles
and other merchandise was stolen to
night from the train crew at Cicero,
a suburb, and driven by the train
robbers to Bensonville, 111., where it
was abandoned. The train was taken
from the yards of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railroad after the
crew had been beaten and thrown off.
Police arrived in time to arrest five
men who had not had time to join
their companions on the stolen train.
Railroad officials immediately began
an investigation to learn if any of the
meichandise in the cars had been
taken.
A few hours later railroad officials
and police were notified that another
freight train, bound for Savannah,
III., had been flagged by the same
band, who rode off with the first
train after throwing off the crew.
According to reports received by the
police, the stealing of the trains fol
lowed several encounters between
train crews and former employes who
had joined the switchmen's strike here
months ago and had lost their jobs.

APPEAL MADE TO CANADA
Country ' Asked to Bridge Gap Be
tween U. S. and Britain.
OTTAWA, Ont., Sept. 2. A plea for
Canada to aid in bridging the "chasm
of ignorance and the abyss of mis
representation" between Great Brit
p-in and the United States was voiced
today by Sir Auckland Geddes, Brit
lsh ambassador to Washington, In an
address before- members of the Can
adlan Bar association.
"If the bridge failed, if trouble arose
between the English-speaking na
tions, it would then be a foolhardy
man who would look for any peace
in the future." Sir Auckland said.
"There would be collapse after col
lapse and civilization would not long
exist."

With her crew the S-6 had been ' Semenoff and Vladivostok Regime

Among the republicans there are
five candidates competing for the
chance to oppose Senator Henderson
on election day. Of these five prob
ably the best known is Governor
Tasker L. Oddie. Governor Oddle's
nomination would probably give the
republicans the best chance they have
to d.efeat Henderson and add a repub
lican to the senate. He is popular
and has made a favorable record as
governor.
Another candidate;-for the repub

r. D. B. Dodson Declares Admiral
Benson Inclines Toward Colum
bia River Independence. ' '
Portland's fight for removal from
the supervision and Jurisdiction of
Seattle in the operations division of
the shipping board is shaping toward
success, according to a telegram re
ceived by the Portland Chamber of
Commerce yesterday from W. D. B.
Dodson, general manager of the
chamber, who is conducting the fight
for this port in the national capi-
tal.
When information was first re
ceived here that Admiral Benson,
chairman of the United States ship
ping board, was about to divide the
Pacific coast into two operating dis
tricts and make Seattle headquarters
of the new district Including Puget
sound and the Columbia river, a sharp
protest was" filed by the chamber of
commerce, port and dock commis
sions, and interested private business
men. Portland at first asked merely
to be replaced in the San Francisco
district, but according to the mosagn
received from Mr. Dodson, Admiral
Benson now inclines toward th'jyes
tablishment of Portland as th hSild
quarters of a separate Columbia river
district. Such action on the part of
the admiral, who now constitutes tho
shipping board. Is exactly what Port
land interests have desired, but at
first hesitated to ask.
R. A. Dean, general counsel for the
hipping board, and special assistant
to Chairman Benson, who visited all
Pacific coast ports recently, lmmedi
ately recognized, after a brief stay
here, the Injustice of Seattle's
domination of Portland's affairs, and
stated that, in his opinion, the matter
could be corrected qulckiy upon his
return to Washington yesterday.

CHICAGO. Sept. 2. Democratic
witnesses today were unable to pre
sent to the senate campaign investi
gating committee the data on which
Governor James M. Cox based his
charges of a $15,000,000 republican
campaign fund, because of the ad
journment of the committee until
Tuesday.
At the request of Senators Reed
and Pomerene, the democratic mem
bers. Chairman Kenyon tonight is
sued a list of Bubpenas for witnesses.
chief of whom is E. H. Moore of Ohio,
Governor Cox's personal representa
tive. Mr. Moore was here today to
present all the data Governor Cox
has regarding campaign expenses,
but he was not called.
Several Names Withheld.
Several subpenas Issued were with
held from publication at the request
of Senators Reed and Pomerene, the
latter of whom returned to Chicago
from Columbus, where he conferred
with Governor Cox and Mr. Moore.
Among" those made public were six
republican leaders, including Harry
M. Blair of Marion, Ohio, assistant to
Fred W. Upham, republican national
treasurer.
The others are chairmen of the re
publican ways and means committees
in Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana and
Kentucky. They are charged with ap
portioning the republican budget
within their -lerrltorles.
Reed Ont After Facta.
The six republicans were called at
the request of Senator Reed, who an
nounced that he wanted to find out
how Treasurer Upham's fund-collect
ing machinery was functioning in rep
resentative states.
Decision of the committee to re
cess today to permit members to keep
week-end speaking engagements was
unexpected. Mr. Moore had appeared
to. testify and had told newspaper men
he expected to present documents in
support of Governor Cox's charges
that millions were flowing Into the
republican campaign chest.
The committee heard Senator Miles
Polndexter of Washington and Her
man Henke, treasurer of the National
Young Men's Republican league, and
then adjourned.
Republican 'Boast" Cited.
Mr. Moore told newspaper men that
he would attempt to prove that the
republican leaders had publicly
nounced last January that they plan
ned to raise a 16,000,000 campaign
fund and "had boasted of It." He also
declared that $25,000. had been raised
in Atlanta, Ga., "prier to June 14 by
a man who later became so disgusted
when Senator Harding was nominated
that he quit the party."
Mr. Upham testified earlier that
the auota for all of Georgia was $25,
000 and said that $2058 was all that
had been raised.
Failure to hear all witnesses today
upset the committee's plan to meet
In Tittsburg next week and inquir
ii.to charges that the liquor interests
there had assisted Attorney-General
Palmer's campaign for the democratic
nomination for president. That plan
however, has not been dropped and
Senator Kenyon said before leaving
tonight that the committee would go
to Pittsburg, probably soon after
hearing the witnesses subpenaed
here.
Polndexter on Stand.
Miles J. Polndexter of Washington
recent candidate for the republicai
presidential nomination and chair
man of the republican senatorial com
mittee, told the investigators today
that the $3000 which his committee
sent E. O. Weller,' republican candi
date tor the senate from Maryland,
was not an example of the general
practice of the committee.
"There is no fixed rule or system
by which candidates are helped, ' ex
plained Senator Polndexter. "We
supply funds for campaign activities
upon which we have agreed with the
candidate or his campaign organlza
tion."
Senator Kenyon brought out that
the .senatorial committee had an ar
rangement by which the former's
maximum campaign fund of $200,000
was guaranteed by the national com
mittee. In return all money's col
lected by the senatorial committee
are turned back to the party's na
tional treasury. Senator Poindexter
said. He added that Senator Freling
huysen is1 chairman of a subcommittee
In charge of collecting funds and that
he -In turn had organized an aux

Proceedings Will Include Criminal
and Civil Action and Involve
, Millions, Say Officials.
WASHINGTON. Sept. Z. (By the
Associated Press.) Prosecution of
324 contractors, marking the begin
ning of a move by the government
to clean up its war contract contro
versies, has been ordered by the de
partment of Jastice. The proceedings
will include criminal and civil actions
and Involve "millions of dollars," of
ficials said today.
Practically all of the cases embraced
by the prosecution order were turned
over by the war department, but there
were indications that some cases
I would be received from other depart
ments. The shipping board is under
stood to be planning to request crim
inal prosecution in half a dozen cases.
Contracts on which action will be
pressed were said to involve amounts
ranging from a few thousands to a
few millions." They include agree
ents for th. furnishing of supplies
cf many commodities, construction of
camps, cantonments and warehouses
and other facilities for the training
of the army.
Preparatory to instituting legal pro-
ceeclngs in most cases, the govern
ment has started a re-checking of its
data and figures, planning to pursue
the Investigation into the records of
the firms and individuals whose con
tracts are questioned. This work will
require several months.
Officials expressed belief that al
though the war department had failed
to reach an agreement, many con
tracts would be settled out of court.
The department abolished Its fraud
and graft investigating sections some
months ago.
With respect to a score or more of
the contract settlements In dispute
there was the belief that "honest mis
takes" had been made by the con
tractor or sub-contractor and that an
investigation of records would pro
duce grounds on which adjustment
could be easily made. It was said
that in other cases, however, "plain
raud and conspiracy" had been
proved so clearly that no other course
was open except direct action looking
to Indictment.
Robert T. Scott, assistant to the at-
orney-general, said it would be the
policy of the government not to deal
leniently with the fraud cases.

Knox declared his conviction that the
foreign policy of the Wilson admin
istration would be repudiated at the
November election and that Senator
Harding's stand would commend it
self to the voters.
"The one great thing to be hoped
for in the campaign," he said, "is
an adequate appreciation of its op
portunities for the republicans of all
sections to record the protest against
the maladministration of national
affairs during the last eight years.
Independence Held Sacred.
"Senator Harding made It clear that
we are not independent if we sur
render any of our functions of- gov
ernment to an alien council, and but
one thing can excuse such surrender,
and that is our conscious willingness
to do so. Only an avowal of lethargy
and indifference to the highest duties
of enlightened government can Justify
conferring their discharge to strangers-
"you cannot conduct a political
campaign on a specific foreign policy.
But you can on the question as to
whether our foreign policies shall ba
submitted to foreign control."

less than four or five new cabinet
officers are being proposed. I am not
a miracle ot human Intelligence and
cannot pretend to say to you today
what ought to be done in each in
stance. "I do pledge you the most sympa
thetic concern and if responsibility
devolves upon me I shall call the at
tention of the congress to the pend
ing crisis in the American education
and urge the best thought of the
country t6 its early solution."
Saluting the baseball players simply
as "Cubs," Senator Harding piunged
directly into his discourse, on political
issues as analogous to the problems
of the diamond. .
"I pay to you." he said, "my tribute
to baseball, because I like the game,
just like every other real American.
It has been in the blood for over half 1
a century and it has helped us as a
people.
Great to Be Rooter.
"I like tho tension of a tight game.
It is great to be a rooter. It is fine
to see him recognizing a great play
but I like his partisanship. I feel tha
same way in big national matters.
I like to think of America first. I want
ioon.
