Governor James M. Cox was given two vic tories in Ohio by the Hamilton county, Cincinnati liquor interests and those influences are still friendly to the Democratic candi date, tormer President William H. Tart declared in an interview here today." ' "The governor says he votes dry," said Mr. .Taft. "Perhaps he does, but 1 ttiink most of his friends are wet. The liquor! In terests were responsible for two Cox victories in Ohio. I know. I recall distinctily that Governor Cox in one of his campaigns w& defeated by 5000 majority in the remainder of the state when he reached Hamilton county, wherein Cincinnati is located, and which is normally from 15,000 to 25,X0O Republican. There he was given a majority of 12,000, the result of the support of the liquor in terests. " - "I note he says he votes dry Well, his is only one vote, and probably it did not antagonize the liquor Interests, for it is a safe assertion that in Ohio campaigns Mr. Cox has had the liquor men's support. SENATOR ASKS FOR RECORDS Spencer Calls Upon White House for an Official Document WASHINGTON, Oct. 11. Two additional . contributions' were made j today to the controversy between President Wirson and Senator Spencer, Republican, Mis souri. '. . . r To support the president's dec laration 1 that Senator Spencer's statement that Mr. Wilson had promised American military aid to Rumania and Serbia in the event of an . invasion of those countries, was Mfalse," the White House 'made public an "official version" -or tne president s re marks tor-the Serbian add Ru manian representatives at tbe Paris neace conference. I j Senatdr Spencer after reading the transcript, said in a statement that there was no substantial dif ferenee between it and the official stenographic reports . from which he had quoted. -He reiterated thatkthe president had promised military aid to Rumania and Ser bia, and declared be would con tinue to make this assertion in his campaign for re-election. ' The-senator again called upon the White House to produce the official record ot the president's address which ' was delivered at the eighth plenary session of the peace conference on May 31, 1319 , Secretary Tumulty refused to answer or comment upon the senator's statement. Meantime it was announced at the state department that a cable gram had been sent to Paris re questing that tbe official peace conference record of the presi dent's "address be sent to Wash ington Officers of the depart ment would not say what use was to be made of this record and therejwas no comment from the White House. It is understood that the president's direction to the department to cable to Paris waa given before the "official version"' as made! public today, was received at .the WTiite House. This version was volunteered by Fred A. Carlson of Chicago, who was an official stenographer for the American peace, delegation. Mr. Carlson wrote that he had prepared the transcript from his original notes taken at Paris after he had read Senator Spencer's statement that . he - "would i be glad" to make oath to its accu racy " " League Liars Is Applied to G. 0.

In the tomorrow of the world's his tory another story will be writ ten, and these name men will share the opprobium or future fenerations- with that little group of wilful political obstructionists who blocked the passage of the Iphlmip in the senate for petty nolitieal reasons." ; . "Jf the campaign could con iinrfn tnr twn months more, he iiwiarrf "Senator Harding would either lose every state fin the union or wonia nae m and wholly abandon hts preseni position.

NEW YORK WANTS COAL ALLOWANCE Swedish and Canadian Buy ers Are Paying Premiums for American Coal While Cities May Suffer SITUATION IS ACUTE IN METROPOLIS Dealers Are Forcing Into Cold Weather With Coal at $25 NEW YORK, Oct. 11. While Commissioner of Public Markets O'Malley today was warning May or Hylan of possible $25 a ton coal this winter. Public Servie3 Commissioner Nixon began an in vestigation of public. utility con cerns, some of which," he charged with obtaining coal ' on . federal permits and then selling to Job bers. Coal Is Shipped Abroad Mr. O'Malley reported to the mayor that Swedish and Canadian buyers were outbidding Ameri cans in the anthracite field and recommended that the mayor ap peal to the federal government for an immediate embargo on an thracite shipments to Canada and abroad. He urged also that New York be made a prefer-in tial point for shipments for immediate consumption. "Swedish and Canadian buyers are paying premiums for Ameri can coal." Commissioner O'Malley said. "They are taking all they can get at $12 a ton. while the highest authorized' price of legit imate companies for American consumers Is $8.70. The mines have developed a system of never having any coal at $8.70 but. quote all the higher " prices you want to listen to. Four million tons went to Canada last summer, CommlJ sionar O'Malley reported, and a month ago, while New York householders pleaded for a do mestic supply, 55,627 tons -were shipped to Canada and the New York market was consistently un dershipped." - i Cold Weather Loom j "They are forcing us into cold weather when we will cry tor premium fuel even at $25 a ton," he added. , Commissioner. Nixon, In nis in vestigation sought to learn wh"2 ther public service companies had been obtaining coal through fed eral permits . and then disposing of it to Jobbers. This caused somewhat of a Burprlsa as It had been announced that tbe hearing was for the purpose of determin ing how much xoal avas beinr held by the various companies and al so to formulate steps to insure adequate supplies for the winter. Some local consumers told the mayor" today they had been charged $19 a ton while their larga . dealers admitted surrep tious offers ot coal at $14 had been received from "snowbird" brokers. . ' Fuel Is Joggled Further light on the situation and how the Juggling of fuel has retarded industry and caused In convenience along the Atlantic seaboard is pointed out in the re port of United States Senator Calder's committer in reconstruc tion and m-oductlon. made public today. The .primary purpose of the committee was to ascertain why building materials were not available for construction, but the commutes inquired into the coal situation, says the report, when it found that the interstate commerce had issued orders that all flat and open top -cars- be withheld from shippers of build ing materials and used exclusive ly for coal shipments. The cars, it Is declared, fell in to the hands of groups of specu lators, who routed them to what ever destination promised the greatest profit. It is alleged that by this maneuver, contracts were evaded and the fuel in transit be came what is known as spot coal. Th3' committee found that when coal in cars at tidal and interior points should have been around $7 a ton, the manipulators forced the spot price to from $10 to $23 a ton. Committee I T Go On The comralttae's investigation has not been completed, said Sen ator Calder; "and cannbt be dropped at this point, ltlls es sential that the constituent ele ments of the conspiracy- be brought Into the spotlight and that it be ascertained whether the profiteers who effected this holdup were irk any way connect ed with those In control of the mine? or railroads, or with, the political organizations who had power of direction and control of both." - FRIENDSHIP NEEDED NEW YORK.

Oct. 11. Che-Ta-MIsta, a full blood Yakima Indian and his squaw turned de tectives on their own account here today, and the result of their efforts was the recovering of a number of valuable articles of In. dian adornment, said to have been stolen from them. . The two Yaklmas arrived here from Toppenish, Wash., Saturday and told the sheriff they believed that thieves who had stolen $1500 worth ot property from them had come here to dispone of it. Then they set out alone on a tour of the pawnshops. Today they returned to the sheriff and said they had found some of their things. An officer accompanied them to a store and recovered three pairs of beaded cuffs, one embroidered hatband, ten belts and other ar. tides of the total valve of $400.

New York, noted chemist who was re sponsible "for the pure food set, national leader in the fight which is being waged for purer and bet ter roods,, was a prominent vis! tor In Salem Monday afternoon.' One of the principal objects of Dr. Wiley's trip to the coast was for the purpose of Inspecting the local plant of the King's Food Products company, which Is one of the largest, if not the largest dehvdrating plants in the United States, as well as one of the most moaern ana up-to-aate in every respect. Dr. Wiley visited the different departments required in perfect ing the dehydrating process, and from a knowledge derived from long years of studying various means of food preservation, ex pressed himself as being highly gratified with the results of the method used. He complimented the management on the cleanli ness and system ured In the many departments, and in speaking of the fine quality of the fruit and vegetables preserved by this method, which he had tested at big own table, said that it was almost Impossible to tell them from the fresh products brought irom tne garden.- "There is no doubt In mr mind that the dehydrating process is tne coming method of preserv ing." said Dr. Wiley. Dr. Wiley's visit to Salem will assist in bringing before the peo ple or tne- country the fact that Salem Is the center of the dehy orating enterprise, the produce tor which is grown In its immedi ate vicinity. Dr. Wiley was accompanied from Portland by a party com posed of L. W. Pennington, sales manager, and Carl J.' Eastman, advertising manager of the King's Food Products company, and by a Mr. Hathaway.

Selz ure and sale 'of foreign ship vio lating American prohibition laws is under consideration by the bu reau of internal revenue as a means oi cuming liquor smug gling, uincials of tbe bureau were represented tonight as seeing no solution to the problem other than through invoking liberal pro visions ot the Volstead act against snips Bringing In liquor. - Evidence gathered by federal enforcement agents was said to have disclosed that masters ot for eign ship frequently conspired with their seamen to violate the prohibition laws. The supply of alcoholic beverages has been greatly increased along the east ern seaboard by this means. It was said. The bureau Is understood also to have discovered -definite con. nection between foreign seamen engage'd . in smuggling and. a "whisky ring" through which the smuggled commodity is marketed. The Volstead act provides spe cifically for confiscation of vehi. cles f transportation employed in violation of that law. Bureau officials were said to feel that al though foreign complications may result, they should take steps in that direction in order to control the traffic. No estimate has been made ot the amount of liquor this reaching American "boot leggers" but officials are agreed it has reached large proportions within the last six months. Technically foreign ships are within jurisdiction ot American laws when inside the' three mile limit. This makes them liable to confiscation at any time contra band good is found on them. Certain foreign ship masters are alleged to have employed a unique method of defeating prohi bition. The reports revealed it was stated that pay of seamen had been reduced to nominal amounts and in some cases to one dollar a week in lieu or more pay. the sea men were permitted to lay In stocks of liquor in foreign ports and deliver it in American ports. While questioning ot masters always has brought denials, offi cials: here were said to be confi dent of the existence of, such a conspiracy, since the pay reduc tion has been made without pro test from the seamen. A case on record in the bureau was said to show that foreign sea men on one ship had smuggled through approximately 800 quarts of Scotch whisky purchased for about one dollar a quart and sold here at more than $10 a quart.

GGVERNOR QUESTIONS JUDGE TAFT Cox Charges Ex-President and Senator Harding as Joined in Deliberate De ception of Public UPR0AR0US CHEERS GREET CANDIDATE Enthusiasm Is Evidence of Arousing of America's Great Soul ST. LOUIS. Oct. 11. Governor Cox in his address tonight at the Coliseum, propounded nine specl- nc questions to former President Taft bearing upon the latter's support of Senator Harding. uovernor cox gave numerous quotations from Mr. Taft's state. ment today and past speeches In support of the league. The gov ernor asked whether Senator Har ding and the former president were not joined together "in de liberate deception." "Ex-President Taft." the gov ernor said. "In a recent statement discusses the proposal of adopting the league of nations by leaving article ten out of It and responds to the question with the words "That is exactly what we want.' I should like to ask Mr. Taft these questions: fox Ask Nine Qnrtlon. .First Did you not In an ar ticle to the covenanter under the title 'The Principle We Fought For' discuss article ten In these words: 'The law of the league with the sanction of the power ot the league thus forbids tbe viola tion of the international com mandment "thou, sbalt not steal by force." It is the embodiment ot tbe principle that we entered and fonght this war to maintain the question. "Two Did you not also In the same article say 'the Monroe doc trine as originally declared by Monroe was article limited to the aggression of nonAmerlcan na tions against coountrles of the western hemisphere? "Three Did you not In the same article also use thee words: 'Article ten is one of the grat steps forward provided in the league for the securing of general peace? Fourth You say that the league to enforce peace had no ar. ticle ten In Its proposition. Shouldn't you have ' been more frank with the American people by telling them that your plan only had four articles in it and that your substitute for article ten was article three? Can you de ny that in your article three you provide for the joint use of the military forces of the nignatory powers in event of violation of the conditions. of the covenant? "Fifth Did not your proposal carry a definite legal obligation to employ forces and In this respect was It not very much more drastic than 'article ten of the league? "Six You say that Senator Harding has already voted twice for the league with reservations but you tailed to say that your candidate within the last two weeks very definitely announced that if he had it to do oyer again he would not vote for the league even with the Lodge reservations. "Seven You say that Senator Harding promises that as presi dent, hewill endorse the covenant withont'the article ten. To whom has he given the promise? Cer tainly not to Senators' Johnson and Borah. Everyone kirows that he has not given It to the Ameri can people. Has he given It to you? If so. Is it not so much In conflict with Senator Harding's recent statement that he propones from now on to turn his back on the league with or without res ervations that it Joins both you and him together In deliberate de ception? "Eight Assuming that the pledge has been given to yon. then may we not answer It with your own words spoken at a luncheon given by the civic organ izations ot California In which you said 'The .gentlemen In the sen ate who are setting ont to defeat this league are those I would not trust over night?' "Nine How do you reconcile Lyour recent statement that the president was responsible for the failure to ratify the treaty with your statement In tbe Metropoli tan Opera Hon so spWeh March S. 1919. as follown: " 'If the president infUt. as I hope be will, that the lacue b Incorporated In the poe treaty " back, re-pons bill ty with the body that refuses to rat Uy it and also with that part of your speech delivered January. 192o. at the Academy of Music.

Speaking before a large audi ence tonight. Senator C. M. Hitch cock.' democratic leader In tbe sen ate for the treaty ratification, charged the republican party with putting tbe protective tariff Issue in cold storage. That is the rea son, be declared, the league of nations issue Is before the people In solemn referendum. The trea ty, he continued, was held up In congress "in .order to force a cam paign .issue. Senator Hitchcock said In part: "This Is the first time the pro tective tariff has not been one of the great, if not the greatest issue between the two great parties. For some reason, however, the repub lican convention at Chicago put tbe protective tariff Issue ln cold storage. Every other former re publican convention had the cour age to boldly advocate the pro tective tariff as the sole means of salvation because laboring men for years have voted tbe republican ticket under fear of the 'empty dinner dinner pail.' "Why did they not bring that Issue out this time? Because the democratic party -has ruled tbe country for six or seven years un der a tariff for revenue only in a period of the greatest prosperity the country has ever known. Bus inessmen have never heard such a high degree of prosperity as In tbe past six years so they had to put the protective tariff -in cold stor age. Then there was the money questions and banking and cur-1 rency matters. That also bad to be abandoned. When the demo cratic party went Into office In 1912; It found the nation cursed with the worst financial system of any civilized nation. Rasso-PoUsh Peace Signing Ts Delayed RIGA. Oct. 11.

Another victory tomorrow will complete the lnter-lcague af fray and permit the local club to fly two banners In the breeze next spring, an epoch-making ev?nt In the history ot the Cleve land team. With the standing 4 to 2 In favor of Speaker's players It Is conceded by even lh most loyal ot Brooklyn fans that noth ing but a most remarkable rever sal ot form on the part of the Robins can prolong the rerles more than a game or two. . Game Is Pitching Vmt While the play today lacked much of the sensational features of Sunday's thrilling battle. It was well played from a technical baseball standpoint, resolving it self early Into a pitching dael be tween Walter Malls , and Sherry Smith, two ot the leading south paws ot the major leagues. Mails had decidedly the b?tter of the contest, the batters from the east being held to three scat tered hits while the local fonnd Smith's rang for seven safeties.
