(I'DtUd Nrw Stff 'Cf"tpondtit)
Chicago, Augv SI. Admission that
the Republican 'national, committee
hss, fixed' the um of $M5.500 a
"a mark to shoot .at."' for-the 120
campaign fund was drawn from Fred
W. Upham, treasurer of he Repub
lican national committee,: in testi
mony late Tuesday before the sen
ate committee investigating cam
paign funds. '
The sdmlMlon was made on cross
examination tr Senator Reed, following
Unham's submission of a quota list at
elded upon In May, 1919. giving the
amounts, assigned to the various states
for national campaign purposes.
SOCKCr.S ARE TRACED
A total of $417,600 was the goal to
be raised from the states, although, ac
cording to upham, this was beyond ex
pectations.. In addition, notations on
the list disclosed, (771,000 was to be
raised. If possible, for work in the states
and $700,000 for the congressional cam
paign. '
Tha- quotas were fixed earlr In 1119,
Upham said, while the S3.079.OO0 budget
under which the party is operating Was
not adopted until July. 1920.
Senator Spencer saved how much of
the money ao far collected came from
N Torc. Upham aubmltted a state
ment of 'the iumi raised In the various
states for the work of the national com
mittee up to August 26. it showed a
total of I61I.01S.S4 and Included Cali
fornia. 113.822.45: Arizona, $942.56;
Washington, $7570.80; Iowa. $6746.30;
Montana, $2754.80; Nebraska. $1368.53;
Oregon, $988.37; Hawaii. $19,198.26, and
Philippine Islands, $19,060.50.
HEED DEMA5P LIST
Upon demand of Senator Reed. Gov
ernor .. Cox's spokesman, Upham agreed
to submit this list to the Investigating
committee. Republican leaders readily
acceded to Reed'a demand, muting that
'production of the "quota list" would
show the entire falsity of Oovernor
Cox statement, in his IMttsburg speech;
regarding alleged quotaa aicned to 61
Cities and totaling $8.145,W" Upham
admitted that state quotas were not final
and might be changed several times dur
ing the campaign.
Upham'a testimony of the morning
seanion ahowed :
That collections and pledges for the
Republican campaign fund since the
Chicago convention total , more than
$1.3001000.
That $700,000 has been allocated to
the Republican aenatorial and congres
sional campaign committee, which la
not Included in the $3,079,000 budget
submitted by Chairman Hay.
: That there la nothing to prevent
state, coimty and city organizations
raining any sums they wish for local
use after having filled the quota as
sepaed against the state by the national
committee.
Uphaiii. like Chairman Hays, denied
with the utmost vigor all of Governor
Cox a charges regarding a $11,000,000
(i. O, 1. corruption fund" anfl an at
tfmpt by "sinister Interests" to buy an
underhold on the presidency.
Upham was followed on the witness
stand by Htmeon D. Fess of Ohio,
chairman of the Republican congres
sional campaign committee.
' 'obs submitted a financial statement
showing receipts of $119.2'J8.92, of which
all but $54,531 has been spent, he said.
He Maid there was one contribution of
$3000, but couldn't recall who cav It ;
two of $2500, while the average contribu
tion wae $10.
He was followed by Representative
Fred A. Britten of Illinois, who. In a
public statement, recently charged that
the British embassy in Washington was
.wains an cnicriuinnicui iuiiu 01 ,ow I IgiQ
10 ipreaa propaganda in oenau uf tnenne
jeagua or unions.
When the committee demanded that
Britten prove his charge he said he hoped
the Investigators would summon Thomas
X Lament of New York, publisher of
the New York Evening Post, and offi
cials of Doubleday, rage & Co.
Committee memhers a irked whether
Britten hlmaelf had any evidence of tha
' vse of the $87,500.
HO EVIDENCE OF FUND
"Not of that particular fund.
, , , , , . ' , . ,r? k
Britten. nnit I have evidence of the use
of vast sums for propaganda purposes. , I
am satisfied that such money has Been
of direct benefit to the candidacy of
Oovernor Cox.
The 'evidence Britten submitted in
support of his charge consisted of a
quotat'.-m .from ia London weekly which
said that tha sending of British propa
gandist to the United States bad done
harm and a fiction story boosting the
League of Nations, sent out. he said,
by the -Western' Newspaper union free
of charge to any editor-who desired it.
Beed said Britten-' statement regard
ing the use of the $87,500 entertainment
fund of the British embassy in behalf
of Cox was a wild jump of the Imagi
nation." Britten admitted it was, but
said he hoped -the committee-would get
evidence proving . him -correct.
Tha committee ' summoned the Chi
cago manager of the" Western News
paper ' union- to ' appear this afternoon
and tell who Is paying for. the distribu
tion of the fiction story, "Uncle Sam
of Freedom Ridge," mentioned by
Britten.
Senator Pomerene and Senator Reed
went after Britten rough-shod, de
mandlng why he had made charges
when he had no evidence of their
truth.''
Tve submitted evidence," replied
Britten.

Season of Forest
Fires in Douglas Is
. One of Shortest
Roseburg, Aug. 31. The season of
gives evidence -of being one of
he shortest on record for forest fires
In Douglaa county. The recent rains
have put out practically all fires In
the forests outside the reserve and
there have been few fires In, the na
tional forest of any consequence. In
Southern Douglas county the rains
were light, but sufficient dampness has
covered the ground to prevent any for
est fire from spreading.
The large number of fires In the pri
vately owned timber were mostly due
to carelessness of the stockmen, who.
It is alleged, would rather see the
brush burned out than to try to pre-
vent a fire. No grear damage has been
re nor ted. The atmosphere has cleared.
Tha local fire warden reports but three
fires since the rains, which will soon
be under control.

much Interest Noel maintains the law
was not violated, as the car had a make
of lenses which do not require dimming.
The view of District Attorney Roberts.
which Is backed by an opinion' from
Attorney General Brown, Is that there
Is no "legal lens" .and that all auto
lights which glare must be dimmed or
put out entirely, snd a spotlight used.
