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.

time today to preparation of the
address he will deliver here Thurs

The president intends to make

fore the election and in it to out
line the condition of the country,
the results of the administration's
policies and its future hopes and
plans, particularly in business and
domestic affairs.
Arrangements have been made
to give ; the address the widest
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
standard time.
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.
A plea to give the sugar pro
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
barth of Spencer; Idaho, president
of the western tariff association.
Mr. Coolidge made it known
that while he will probably not
hold any hearings personally he
expects to receive considerable ad
ditional information on the sugar
beet industry) in this country, in
reports requested of the commis
sion and department of agriculture
before taking iaction on the sugar

tions in hand to date, the demo
cratic national committee expects
to conclude the present campaign
in a maximum outlay of $750,000
the senate investigating commit
tee was told today by Clem L.
Shaver, ! chairman, and James W.
Gerard, treasurer. t
Expenses thus far have aggre
gated j $597,119, according to a
statement put into the record by
Mr. Gerard. Of this sum $461,
801 has been paid, the statement
shows. There is an existing de
ficit of approximately $48,000 on
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
of the republican national com
mittee testified to expenditures of
$1,700,000 with an
estimated

1 Session is Brief
The examination of , Mr. Shaver
and Mr. Gerard consumed less
than an hour, and as no other
witnesses were available the in
quiry j was adjourned! over - until
late tomorrow when the La Fol
lette charges of a republican
slush" fund will be investigated
further. i
When Mr. Gerard i placed the
maximum budget at $750,000,
Chairman Borah asked him about
a recent statement issued by the
democratic ... national
i committee
41.590.000
that at the outside
would; be raised, f "I am not in
charge of the conduct of the cam
paign," Mr. Gerard said,! adding
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.

Responding to inquiries as to
funds: raised by state committees

BERLIN, Oct. 21. (By the As

President Ebert had decreed the
dissolution q! the Reichstag came
as a surprise to a great majority
of the deputies who either are in
Berlin or on the way here to at

for a compromise which would
enable the minority cabinet to
continue in office, especially as
the cardinal problems of Ger

definitely solved through the gov
ernment's acceptance of the Dawes
plan. The party organs of all

A report that the heads, might
have been brought here byDr. W.

in diseases of the head, seemed
in the opinion of officers nothing
more than a rumor. Efforts to
find a man of the name of Hess

McNichols gave the heads for dis

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 21.
Lessons learned? in establishment
of the federal budget system were
held up here tonight by Charles
G. Dawes, reoublican vice presi
dential nominee, as a warning to
the American people against. mak
ing "any experiments in changing
from a close president who watch
es the nickels."
Opening his eastern speaking
tour here with a discussion ot-T the
budget, Mr. Dawes declared "this
government is safe in its present
method of doing business so long
as we retain as president a man
who keeps his place at the head
of the goverpnient business or
ganization and keeps a club hang
ing on the wail for the benefit o'
department heads."
Mr. Dawes spoke before an audi
ence that packed the Academy of
Music where President Coolidge
spoke a month . ago. J
Governor Pinchot, seated on the
speaker's platform, formally wel
comed Mr. Dawes to: Pennsylvania
and declared he was present "as a
republican to stand behind Mr.
Dawes on the'; platform and urge
his election." L i
Mr. Dawes aroused his audience
at the start byi commending the
people of Philadelphia as "loyal
enough and patient enough to
stand by my friend, Smedley D.
Butler." I !
There was an outburst of ap
plause and Mayor Kendrich, seated
in a box near the speaker's plat

William C. Sproule, former gov

Mr. Dawes and both he and Gov

The chancellor said that after
the nationalists demanded seats in
the cabinet for members who
voted against , the Dawes plan and
the democrats ; had announced
their unalterable .antagonism to
an enlarged cabinet which failed
to include socialists, he was forced

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
mines. '' It- took , the people of
America the greater part of a gen
eration to winHhia children's bat

as "astonishing"' and respecting

to war. ' i

man's Death I
WILWAUKEE, Oct. 21. The
terror known only to men marked
for death at the hands of an un
seen; foe gripped Milwaukee's
Chinatown tonight;
Groping for clews to the iden
tity of the gunman who last night
killed Wong Tak Go, the supposed

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
ed there" than in f his previous
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
actual knowledge ot Wonk Tak
Go's death, but rather fied to some

After spending four days on
their own private business, the
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
ial army pause a bit but it is an
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
ed. . i 1
Canvass ly Districts ,
: 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
