CHICAGO, Spt.. 11. The senate com
mittee inestigating campaign ex
penses today closed a two-weks" in
quiry into charges of Governor Cox
that the republican party Is seeking
a J15.000.C00 fund. The sessions here
also developed testimony bearing on
charges that the democratic party so
licited campaign contributions from
federal office holders and accepted
unlimited amounts from other con
tributors.
Refusal to summon Governor Cox
as a witness before the committee
was announced by Senator Kenyon,
chairman. He gave out a telegram
received from Frank A. Munsey, east
ern publisher, demanding that . the
democratic presidential nominee be
eubpenaed.
Senator Kenyon's reply was to the
effect that Edmond H. Moore had ap
peared before the committee as a
personal representative of the Ohio
executive, and the committee consid
ered that sufficient.
The committee will meet September
23 in either "Washington or New York,
Chairman Kenyon being empowered
to choose the city. Senator Kenyon
said that if Washington was selected,
the witnesses who were to have been
heard at Pittsburg would be called
there. .The committee had planned a
meeting- In Pittsburg to investigate
reports that Pennsylvania liqour In
terests were taking an active part
In financing the democratic campaign.
The last day's hearings were con
ducted by Chairman Kenyon, repub
lican, and Senators Reed and Pomer
ne, democrats. Senators Spencer and
Edge, republicans, were absent, the
latter having left Chicago last night,
after making a statement deriding
the Cox charges. This attitude drew

criticisms from democratic members.
Senator Reed having characterized
the Edge statement as "Indecent."
Republican Drive Planned.
Republican plans for a seven-day
drive for funds in Chicago, and tes
timony that the democrats bad as
sessed girl employes of the internal
revenue office at Aberdeen, S. D., 40
each to help finance the democratic
Campaign were topics today. -
Frederick C. Barber of New York, a
professional money-raiser, in charge
of the Chicago republican drive, tes?
titled he had prepared) a card index
f about 25,000 prospective contribu
tors, including a preferred list of some
500 to 800, each of whom was believed
to be able to give $1000. Upward of
1000 workers will be engaged in the
one week's drive, he said, with 1500,
00 as the goal.
Testimony by Caleb Bnix, local
newspaper man, that the republican
national committe had sent out pub
licity matter giving the Chicago
quota as $700,000 led Mr. Barber to
Buy he had heard others make the
same statement, but he "let them
rave." His goal, he emphasised, was
jr.no, 000.
"Did yon ever discuss the amount
ith Fred W. Upliam, treasurer of
the republican national committee?"
Senator Reed asked.
"Yes, sir, that Is. there was not an
awful lot of discussion about it. Mr.
Upham would say something and I
would listen, all the time with my
own plan in mind."
"While you kept In your own mind
what you were going to raise, what
did Mr. Upham say about what you
Should raise?"
"Mr. Upham is not an easy man to
contradict," Mr. Barber explained,
and 1 usually found that the easiest
way with him is to let him express
his own opinion and then go ahead
with my own plans. Mr. Upham in
nome talk with me mentioned $700,000,
hut I could not be sure whether he
mentioned it for all of Illinois or only
Xor Cook county."
Girla Korced to Contribute.
Miss Eunice Coyne, a newspaper re
porter in Aberdeen. S. r., and .Miss
Jessie Burchard of Minneapolis, clerk
tn the Aberdeen internal revenue col
lector's office, told of the democratic
effort to raise money from girl clerks.
11 iss Burchard said she had donated
S0 from her salary of $120 a month
after receiving a letter from a demo
cratic campaign fund raiser request
ing her to call at his hotel and "ar
range this matter." About a dozen
frirl clerks went to the hotel, she tes
tified, and subscribed $40 each.
A copy of the letter said to have
been received by the girls was pre
tented by Miss Coyne, who said she
received It from Miss Marian Armen
trout, a stenographer. The letter was
from F. M. Waterbury who. ' Miss
Coyne said, told the girls he was act
ing for Clarence H. Mee. South Da
kota chairman for the democratic
committee and father of J. Walter
Mee, internal revenue collector . at
Aberdeen.
Miss Coyne said some of the letters
were delayed because they bore- in
sufficient postage and that the girls
had to pay one cent on them when
they were delivered. . .
Girla Had to Pay Poitist.
?They had even to pay postage in
getting duns from the democrats, did
they?" Senator Kenyon commented.
Miss Coyne said she understood the
girls who were asked to contribute
were all dependent upon their $120 a
month salaries that most of them
were living away from home and be
cause rant and living costs were- high
In Aberdeen she "did not believe they
could afford it."
The newspaper story written by
Miss Coyne referred to the money
raising among the girls as "black
jacking," and Senator Reed requested
an explanation of the term. Mis
Coyne said it Ws a newspaper word
synonymous with "blackmail."
"You would have used a stronger
word If you had thought of It?" Sen
ator Kenyon commented.
"If there Is any word too strong to
be used for this episode, I do not
think the English language contains
it."
Miss Jesse Burchard did not agree
with Miss Coyne's conclusion that the
girls were unwilling contributors and
denied that they were afraid of losing
their jobs if they did not contribute.
The girls talked it over and de
cided to give $40 each. Miss Burchard
said.
"Did Mr. Waterbury fix that as the
amount?" Senator Kenyon asked.
"He mentioned it." replied Miss
Burchard.
"Is that the way you all happened
to give $40?"
"I supnose," she answered, "it was
because one girl gave $40 first."
Senator Kenyon characterized the
solicitation of funds from girl em
. ployes of the government as ' "worse

terday and was sentenced to a term
not to exceed 20 years in the peni
tentiary by Presiding Circuit Judge
Tazwell.
While his first wife, Mrs. Bessie L.
Rogers, was in a hopsital Rogers
married the daughter of A. W.
Leverich of Albany and went to Oak
land, Cal., where he -secured employ
ment as a window dresser. He was
arrested and brought back to Port
land last Vuly.
A plea for clemency was made on
the ground that the man has tuber
culosis but was ineffective. Rogers
declared that the reason he married
the second time was that the girl
was the only person who had been
kind to him and that she had nursed
him through a sickness in an army
hospital.
Judge Tazwell' told him that an
Illegal marriage, wa a poor way to
pay a debt of gratitude and that it
was an offense greater in the eyes
of the court than the forgery.

Securities of Defunct Jacksonville
' Institution at Time of Fail
ure Was $11,000. - J
M"ED FORD. Or.. Sept.- 11. CSpe-
ciaL) The first official information j
about Jackson county's losses througn
having -deposits in the defunct Bank
of Jacksonville was made public to
night by District Attorney Roberts
and the county court.
This report throw some light on
the cond-uct of. the bank by W.. H.
Johnson, president and cashier, who
is in Jail under $50,000 bail awaiting
trial, and also shows that Jackson
county had $1CK7,523.21 on deposit
against the bank's securities of $11,
000 at the time the bank failed.
Mrs. Myrtle Blakely is the county
treasurer, and her bond as such is
only $20,000.
Bank Report Soon Sae.
The state bank superintendent's re
port on the condition of the bank Is
expected to be made public within the
next week. The statement issued by
the district attorney and county court
reads in part as follows:
"Details of the audit of the county
treasurer's accounts and the condition
of the county funds, resulting from
the failure of the bank of Jackson
ville are summarized as follows from
the report recently filed with the
county court by E. M. Wilson, public
aecountant. who made a special audit
after the bank's- failure.
"The history of the account with
the bank of Jacksonville is reported
in detail from January 1, 1917, to
the time of the closing of the bank
August 11. 1920. January 1, 1917, the
balance carried in the bank was $11,
081.40. Up to June 1, 1918, covering
17 months, this remained uniform and
with but little variation in monthly
balances.
Increase Starts tn 1918.
"The increase in the monthly bal
ance begins in August, 1918, and on
December 31, 1918, was $5-5,968.40, of
which $13,927.86 was in drafts on
the bank of Jacksonville, coming
from the tax collector and deposited
December 31. On December 31. one
year later, the balance was $64,078.86.
During 1920 a gradual increase in bal
ances took place although decreases
are noted for January, June and Au
gust, until the balance at the -tima
the bank closed was $107,523.21.
This part of the county's funds be
ing unavailable during adjustment and
settlement of the bang's affairs, the
various county funds, districts and
municipalities will be short of funds
temporarily.
Pour Drafts May Bare Bearing?.
"Four drafts, issued by the Bank
of Jacksonville to the county treas
urer May J., may have a bearing in
drawing conclusions as to the intent
of Mr. Johnson, the cashier of the
bank at that time. On May 1 the
balance of county funds in the bank
was $91,318.93. The drafts issued to
the treasurer were numbers 97, 98 and
99 on the American Exchange bank of
New York for $25,000 each and No.
1406 on Wells Fargo Nevada' National
bank of San Francisco for $15,000. The
COAST SWEPT BY GALE
Astoria in Path Apparently of an
Equinoctial Storm.'
ASTORIA, Or., Sept. 11. (Special.)
A southerly gale that apparently
was the equinoctial Btorm struck this
section during the night and, accom
panied by a heavy downpour of rain,
contlnuea an day. Reports from, out
side were that a heavy gale was blow-
ing along the coast, but inside the
harbor the maximum wind was 26
miles an hour.

the storm is expected to continue dur

TOO TIRED TO SLEEP
Many people are unable to sleep be
cause they are too tired. They have
driven themselves so hard for so long
that they are on the verge of a nerv
ous breakdown. Night sounds ex
cite them and silence depresses them.
What little sleep they get does not
refresh them and each day finds them
a little weaker than, the day before.
The first thing to realize in seeking
relief from insomnia is that it is not
a disease but a symptom. Narcotics
will produce sleep, but they will not
remove the cause of sleeplessness. If
the victim of insomnia is pale and los
ing weight and strength and com
plains of headaches and indigestion,
It is reasonably certain that the
cause of the trouble is thin blood. The
problem theuis to find a blood-build
er that is non-alcoholic, free from
habit-forming drugs and is of proved
worth. Such a remedy Is Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills. This tonic will
supply the blood with the elements
needed to build up the tissues, to re
pair waste, to revitalize the nerves
and to strengthen the digestion. As
new health and strength are carried
to every part of the body it will b-s
found that sleep becomes natural and
that body and mind are invigorated
by the rest. ,
Do not neglect yourself, but begin
treatment now with Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. If your druggist cannot
supply you the remedy will be sent
postpaid by the Dr. Williams Medi
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., on re
ceipt of price. 60 cents per box. An
Interesting booklet, "Building Up the
Blood," will be mailed free on request.
