I ROBBERS
NAVY OFFICIALS
TO INVESTIGATE
FATAL ACCIDENT
Absolutely No Clew Has Been
Uncovered Pointing to
Cause of Explosion
WASHINGTON. Oct. 21. Three
experts of the bureau of ordnance
were ordered to Norfolk late today
to assist in the inquiry on board
the cruiser Trenton as to the
cause of the , explosion yesterday
which killed and injured more
than a dozen other members of the
crew of that ship.
The details , were made public
by Secretary Wilbur when offici
als at Norfolk; reported they were
unable to find the slightest clue
to the cause of the catastrophe.
The' only theory advanced in com
munications to the department
was that powder charges being
hoisted to the ; guns may have
caught and in some way became
ignited by friction. So far as
could be learned at the depart
ment the records of i the navy
show no : parallel act.

publicity availabler-by radio and
present plans call for it to be
broadcast as i far as I the Pacific
coast, j Mr. Coolidge is to start
speaking at 9:30 p. m., eastern

Enthusiastic reports on the
trend of the campaign were pre
sented today to the president by
various callers, one of whom, S. T.
Meservey of Chicago and of Iowa,
said that the republican national
ticket j would carry Illinois and
Iowa by comfortable majorities.

ducers an opportunity to present
testimony in connection with the
report of the tariff commission on
the sugar duty i was presented to
the president by Frank J. Hagen

Expenses thus far have aggre

statement put into the record by
Mr. Gerard. Of this sum $461,
801 has been paid, the statement
shows. There is an existing de

the i basis of this showing and
Charlman Shaver said : he antici
pated a deficit at the! end of the
campaign unless contributions
came in more rapidly.
At previous hearings, officials

late tomorrow when the La Fol

When Mr. Gerard i placed the

that at the outside
would; be raised, f "I am not in

that he assumed the committee
would: spend; $1,500,000 if they
gave it to us. Both the former
ambassador to Germany and Mr.
Shaver said they knew of no or
ganizations except the national
committee that were undertaking
to raise any substantial sums for
the democratic camjaign. Mr. Ge
rard said there were organizations
like the young men's democratic
clubs and women's organizations
but that the national committee
had contributed to them.

the American people against. mak
ing "any experiments in changing
from a close president who watch

Opening his eastern speaking

as we retain as president a man
who keeps his place at the head
of the goverpnient business or

Prophesies 1 That Political
Alignment to Be on New
Basis in Future
ROCK ISLAND, 111., Oct. 21.
(By Associated! Press.) Senator
Robert M. La Follette! again In
Illinois for two campaign speeches
before swinging eastward, declared
in! an 'addirees here tonight that a
new political alignment is at hand
- an allgnmentj of primary prodc
erB, of men who prodce wealth, of
the men who feed us, clothe us,
haul us, house us." j
I frequently hear the sugges
tions that the j farmers and the
wage earners will not work to
gether," the independent presi
dential candidate asserted. "It is
said that theirj interests are an
tagonistic; that this is an unna
tural and impossible alliance. But
the reverse is true. The farmers
and the wage workers have a com
mon economic interest. They are
natural political allies. They suf
fer from, the same things. They
w$nt the same things, and the
things they Want are good things.
"The issues j which should di
vide men and women politically
are being expressed in this cam
paign for the first time in a gen
eration. It is between these two
produce wealth' and these two ex
ploit wealth. It is between those
who create wealth and those who
unjustly appropriate wealth. It
is this issue that makes the farm
er,, the wage i worker, the mer
chant, the clerk, the teacher and
all those-employed in the produc
tion and distribution of wealth na
tural allies. Their economic in
terests are the same. They suffer
from tire same evils. They have a
common interest. i
"On the one hand are the un
privileged millions who want, only
a square meal, j On the, other are
the privileged who have obtained
the unlawful f not a criminal
strangle hold osn the people."
Declaring that the , "economic
oligarchy of today seeks to hold
human beings in bondage by per
verting the law through crooked
courts just as did the slave own
ing . oligarchy of i860," Senator
La Follette said that this was be
ing done by various means, among
them injunctions in labor disputes.
P"It has 'used subservient
courts," he.continued, "to nullify
the Clayton act which sought to
protect the worker in his right to
organize and to bargain collective
ly for his own I protection.
"It has nominated, a presidential
ticket in open j hostility to organ
ized labor. It' placed Daugherty
at the head of j the department of
justice and used all the power of
the government to destroy the
trade union organizations of the
two million railway workers of
the country," Coolidge would have
retained him until this hour if the
Brookhartywheeler investigation
hid not, forced his resignation.
Attacks Labor Board,
"It created ;the railroad labor
board and packed it with nen bit
terly hostils to labor. This board
has done more to breed discord
between employers and employees
and promote strikes than any
piece of legislative folly ever con
ceived. !' ' - : j .)
I "Not content with making war
on men, it makes war on little
children. It would destroy the on
coming generation by dwarfing the
children in mind, and body in the
mills, in the factories and in the

WILWAUKEE, Oct. 21. The

for death at the hands of an un

Chinatown tonight;
Groping for clews to the iden
tity of the gunman who last night

Lok Wong, proprietor, of a res
taurant here had been missing
from his hotel and place of bus
iness since about three hours be
fore the ; shooting. ;
Lqk Wong, according to Detec
tive Sergeant Arthur Burns, is a
member of the On Leong tong,
sworn enemy of the Hip Sings and
three or four days ago received
warning from the On j Leong
headquarters Jn Chicago . that he
had, been marked lor death by the
Hip Sing organization." .
"Wong," Burns said, "moved
to a " downtown hotel thinking he
would be less likely to be attack

abode and remained until late
yesterday afternoon. After the
slaying of Wong Tak Go, Lieuten
ant Harry ,Ridenour went to the
hotel to question Lok Wong and
learned he had checked out short
ly before C o'clock. No one at
the hotel or the j restaurant : could
give any indication of Lok Wong's
whereabouts. Burns stated, j
Police so far are inclined to
the theory that Lok Wong has no

After spending four days on

YMCA army meets again today
noon at the old ".Y" gymnasium
for a dinner and a new campaign
to get the rest of the building
money. . '
They lack less than $50,000 to
complete. the job; enough to make
even such an industrious, sacrific

obstacle that they "just know"
they can overcome. !
One captain, not content to lie
down and breathe, has been busy
enough to get in some important
money; i much more "than . $1,000,
during these four days intermis
sion. That will be chalked up
on the board at today's dinner
meeting. There might be others,
though they are not yet announc

: The whole Salem personnel has
been gone . over; those who have
not yet been seen at all, those
who have been seen and have not
yet responded, and those who
might be expected to be even more
generous as they see the need of
greater sacrifice. There are said
to be a good many of this class;
it is a fine tribute to be called on
a second time to help finish the
Job- already: bq wre1I "begun..
The city is to be canvassed by
districts, instead of by personal
selection of fiien to see, and each
district will be systematically can
vassed, so that everybody in Sa
lem knows exactly the story of the
Y" and its needs. The Salem
press was publicly complimented
at the last dinner last week, for
giving such excellent front-page
publicity "the best in the history
of YMCA building campaigns,''
one speaker said. But there are
still a few who do not know just
what the Salem Y" has done for
the young men -and boys and girls
of the cityr and the canvassers
are to stress the story of local
service as the best reason for lib-,
