TESTIMONY IS CENTERED ON VETS' PAPER Senate Hearing Turns on Buying of Publicity Bureau by Repub licans and Paper by Democrats Dupont, G. 0. P. National Com mitteeman, Delaware, Admits Purchasing Advertising Agency By Li. C. Martin Washington, Sept. 25. U. P.) Testimony at the closing session of the senate committee Investigating campaign expenditures today was to the effect that prominent Democrats had helped buy a soldier newspaper and that prominent Republicans had helped buy an advertising agency. It was not shown that either the pa per or the agency was being used for political purposes, this being denied. The committee asked Richard H. Waldo concerning the testimony of J. Lu Hefiernan. who said Waldo, repre senting the "Duponts." hsd tried to get hold of the "Stars and Stripes." Waldo said Herrernan had told him Bernard Baruch put up $7000 and Secretary of Agriculture Meredith $2500 to help buy me paper, or which lietfernan is an official, and that W. D. Jamieson lemocratic finance director, had "as sessed" Baruch and Meredith for these amounts. JAMIESOX LOANS ! Earlier in the day Mrs. E. M. Paries Jamieson s secretary, aald she shad bought control of the paper and that Jamieson had loaned her S4000 to make the purchase. She had borrowed $34,000 additional, she said, but refused to tell from whom. Waldo an id In his opinion the paper was not being used as a political organ and Mrs. Parks declared she had in sisted that it be kept out of politics. T. Coleman Dupont, Republican na tional committeeman from Delaware, testified that he. William Boyce Thomp son, chairman of the ways and means committee of the Republican national committee, and some others had bought an advertising agency, which placed ad vertisements in foreign language news papers.!.' He denied this was part of a plan to control the editorial policy of foreign- language papers so that they would support Harding and Coolidge. BAECCH GAVE 847,48s Guy Mason, Washington representa tive of" the League to Enforce Peace, said he helped get a 147,500 contribution from Bernard Baruch and the league had tried to get a large aum from Henry Ford, but got nolhlag. E. E. Britten, private secretary to Secretary of the Navy Daniels, said Daniels paid his own way to the Demo cratic convention at San Francisco. In connection with Baruch's alleged contribution to the League ta Enforce Peace, committee members called atten tion to the fact that testimony has shown contributions, pledgea or invest ments by Baruch of more than $100,000. Other contributions of Baruch were $25, 000 for production of a moving picture entitled "Uncle Sam of Freedom Ridge," an additional $12,500 which, it was testi fied, Baruch has obligated himself for in connection with . the picture, $12,500 for distribution to newspapers of "Uncle Sam. of Freedom Ridge" in story form. $5000 to the Democratic national com mittee and $7000 to the Stars and Stripes. T IS PLEDGED TO LEAGUE Full Realization of Treaty Versailles Is Promise of Millerand. of By Henry Wood I United Pre Staff Correspondent) Paris, Sept. 25. (U. P.) Full realization of the promises of the treaty of Versailjea, but Jealous watchfulness that no nation is harmed thereby, will be one of the alms of the new French reglrtu. President Millerand told the cham ber of deputies toda;-. , Millerand and his premier, George Leygues. were given a vote of confi denoe by the chamber prior to his address. "France is attached permanently to a republican regime," Millerand said. "Universal suffrage is the master, but to execute the voters will la necessarily a free executive power, under control of parliament, with an Independent ju diciary. "A confusion of powers is the germ of all tyranny. - Tou will choose for yourselves the opportune hour for modi fying the constitution to grant the presi dent, more authority. "Before that. It Is necessary to secure In full .accord the allies' full execution of the Versailles treaty. Our diplomacy will do Its utmost to that end. But like wise, she will watch-Jealously to see that no injury .ever Is done the rights of newly -born nations or those re-born through our victory." Millerand praised the French army and navy and asserted the colonies and protectorates had repaid France -for their care. "There must be a reduction In mili tary service," Millerand said, asserting there must be a national defense eco nomically as wejl as militarily. "All social conceptions have the right to express themselves." the president said. "However, none of them has the right to impose itself violently upon the others.

Department store heads pointed to a decline, . daring the past 0 days, of between do cents ana -91.&0 per' yara in silk goods sold over retail counters. Woolens, fine linen and cottons, chiefly In hosiery and underwear, are not "drop ping to earth, nor will there be a marked decline this year, they stated. The element of labor, both m the handling of the' product, its manufac ture and the raw material, is the chief cause of high prices, they stated, but in placing the charge at labor's door they raise the question of whether it would be proper to attempt any reduc tion on that score, for some time. The declines of the past few days, on certain commodities, they declare to be but the "lopping off of profiteering prices."

They will vote for Cox because Sen- ator Harding has apparently taken the position of Senator Johnson, of Cali fornia of opposing the league; There is an active campaign here against the league, but it has not made much of an impression. The president of the Mormon church presided at Gov ernor Cox'a meeting, but is reported to be in favor of the reelection of Senator Smoot, Republican.
