The $2000 wan re ceived last May from Mrs. John II.

"Did you hare any sinister purpose in raisin these funds?" queried Senator Kenyon. asking 4 stock question. "No air. it was for the best pur pose in the world." replied Mrs Haur and she then smilingly as sured Senator Pomerene that the remark was a reflection upon "us Democrats." At the start of the session there was evidence that Charles Boesch enstein of EdwardsTllle. 111.. Dem ocratic national committeeman for the state had sent letters to post masters asking voluntary contri butions to bis party's campaign fund. Five of these addressed to the postmaster at Augusta. 111., a rural town In Hancack coounty. were given to the committee by an emissary of the postmaster ' who explained that the official would be too busy to come in person un til next week. He also said the postmaster was progressive who had won ap pointment by a civil service exam ination after the Democratic In cumbent resigned a year ago. Mr. Kelly turned in a list show ing the quotas, pledges and pay ments from the different counties of Ohio. He said that in some ten counties there' were drives for ad ditional funds to be used for coun ty purposes, and Senator Reed pointed out that in the case of To ledo and Cleveland these addition al drives brought the totals-to llOO.ooo and $100,000 respec tively. the amounts named for Hum places in the Pittsburgh speech of Governor Cox. Senator Pomerene asked whether contributors would be re imbursed if the Ohio total went beyond the figure set by the na tional committee. Mr. Kelly said nts duties were confined to col lectins and transmitting money to itne national treasurer Mr. Owens' testimony brourht first chuckles, then gales of laughter rrom the committee and audience. He bgaa ty introduc ing himself to Senator Heed as a professional "money digger" and said he had been engaged in that ork for 20 years. He was asked about the substitute for form 101. but would not acknowledge origi nal knowledge of it. Finally he told Senator Keed he mlcht have made -suggestions about every paragraph in the document but knew nothinr about it in it nm Ipleted state. He identified several para graphs as "orthodox." but dis claimed knowledge of every one referring to city quotas, oro-; paitens and c hairmen. He said he had attended a meetin?

In .dividing the onnti among the congressional districts tne figures were boosted, he said, on the theory that It waa neces sary to ask for more than he ex. pected to get. lie asked for $388.- 400 to get $250,000 for the na tional committee. 'Another case of 'expanded truth'." Senator Pomerene re marked. Mr. Fritsche told Senator Reed he had received $2,000 contribu tions from two persons In Michi gan, in each case $1,000 before the convention and $1,000 since. Senator Reed aked where the witness obtained authority to do so and Mr. Fritsche produced "confidential bulletin No. 6" of the Republican national commit tee which suggested the plan. Senator Reed pointed out that the suggestion was "made after Chairman Hays publicly an nounced no contributions of more than $1,000 would be accepted." He asked Sir. FriUche fo rthe five bulletins which preceded No. S but he said he had never received them. Mr. Fritsche s testimony re vealed a series of swollen quotas, each successive official in the chain from national committee to city chairman boosting the figures reaching him to provide for possl ble shrinkage. Senator Reed brought out that the Republican national commit tee. seeking about $3,000,000 for Us budget, fixed quotas totaling between five and six millions. Mr Fritsche said he boosted the fig ures when be subdivided the state quota, increasing the Wayne coun. ty goal "fifty to sixty per cent" to $200,000. An assistant. R. T.

Fritsche said, announcing the De troit quota as $300,000 or $50,000 more than the Republican nation al committee sought in the state.

Commercial and Court Streets Formerly Chicago Store ROME. Sept. . The spirit of unrest has penetrated since the war even to such old world and out of the way spots as the Is land of Sardinia. Among these picturesque peasants, many of whom cannot read or write, though they are often people of dignified manners and strong character, public opinion is dif fused by word of month and a stronr nartr has arisen lately whose motto is "Sardinia alone". who think that the island, which is the second largest in the Med iterranean, would be more pros perous If It governed itself ana had little or nothing to do with Italy. In ancient days Sardinia was one of the great grainerles of the world, supplying first Catnage later Rome with Immense quan tities ot grain. Now a large pro portion of the Island Is unculti vated and aoout one-fifth Is cov ered with forests, chiefly consist ing of oak and cork trees. The most valuable exports, however, are from the mines ot lead, sine, antimony, copper, sliver, lignite and anthracite, which is only thoroughly developed would be a source of great riches. The Sardinians are a splendid fi'hting race and not only dur ing the late world conflict hot throughout the Napoleonic wars and the middle ages provided some of the staunchest soldiers In Europe. The Sardinians have al ways considered their Island the Cinderella of Italy. They say they have been alternately neg lected and taken advantage of by the central government, education haa been disregarded, the malar ious state of the country has been ignored, few roads or railways have been provided In ord.r to develop its resources, while gov ernment money has never been fortnroming for its needs. The peasants of Sardinia de clare that this Is ' the moment when Sardinia might start on the road to receneratlon and recon struction, moral, commercial and economic bat if it is. as of old. aoandoned to apathy and want of Initiative, ruin is certain. A deep spirit of discontent and irritation is prevalent. The Sardinians call themselves "the Irish of the Mediterranean" and a large par ty Is being formed of those who desire to work out their own sal vation and at least for a certain time to be entiiely Independent o the mother country, which they accuse ot having treated them more Hkt the typical stepmother.
