McCabe; Says Hoovers Fund Exceeded Hi's Washington, May 29. Inquiring in to the Johnson-Hoover fight in the California republican presidential pri- treaty and league of nations directly mary, the senate campaign investigat- at the door of President Wllsn, be ing committee today heard evidence causa of th tmcamnromta'insr attitude that approximately $200,000 has been of the president In relations regarding raised as a national fund for Senator j the treaty and covenant with the sen Johnson's campaign for the republican ate. presidential nomination and a charge that supporters of Herbert Hoover, republican, spent $300,000 in the Cali fornia fight. Alexander McCabe, California state insurance commissioner and one of the managers of the Johnson organization in that state was the witness. He tol l the committe he was unable to give exact figures as to how much wfti spent in the Johnson fight in Califor nia and how much of the money raised there for the senator was sent out of the state because he did not have his books. These he has telegraphed tor, he said ,and- he- was asked to remali here until they arrived. Mr. McCabe aid the Hoover Sup porters employed many workers at the polls and elsewhere and expended, large sums in advertising, adding that they spent "eight or nine times !. much as we, at the lowest estimate, $300,000." Replyingto Senator Edge, republi can, New Jersey, the witness emphat ically denied that any "slush fund" was spent in California for Senator Johnson or that any large sums had been spent that came into use through channels outside of his control. Mr. McCabe branded as "a d-- -d dirty scandal" a report that $100,000 in currency was drawn out of the Crocker National bank at San Fran cisco for the Johnson organization funds on the eve of the California pri mary election day.

Taft Holds Resolution Clumsy Try The republican peace resolution, ve t&ed by President Wilson and which yesterday failed of enactment heutiae of the inability of the republicans to muster sufficient strength in congress to pass it over the veto, ,i a two pronged measure, olumsq in its moans o fending the state of war existing be tween this country and Germany, but treaty and the league of nations. Mr. Taft arrived in Salem this morn ing and immediately retired to his room in the hotel to rest and attend to matters of private business. It was here that ' he granted interviews to representatives of the press. Resolution Two-Pronged The peace resolution Mr. Taft point ed out, even if approved by the presi dent or passed over his veto by the senate, could not have become oper ative as a treaty with Germany (as a substitute for- the Versailles treaty) ending the Btate of war between the United States and that nation, without its formal acceptance by Germany. Domestically, however, it would have become operative In ending by legis lative decree the broad war powers now in the hands of the president. Mr. Taft places the blame for the failure of this country to accept the Senators ITncensored. Without commenting on the un yielding position of the republican op position to the treaty as presented by the president, Mr. Taft eald that Presi dent Wilson's letter to the administra tion senators last November, urging themto stand at In their demand for the league un-revised, was the princi pal caue for the rejection of the trety by the senate. Pointing out that the treaty then failed of ratification (with reservations) by a margin of only seven botes, he holds that the Wilson letter was the means of .withholding those necessary seven votes Asked point-blank if he favored the league with the reservations proposed by the republicans, Mr. Taft replied that in his estimation, th ereservations would not hinder the successful opera tion of the league, nor would they ma terially weaken It. From this general statement he exempted artlcl 10, say ing that he would rather see that sec tion remain imtouchd. , , Mr. Taft appears much the same as upon his former visits to Salem. Tne train of his long speaking tour makes Itself evident at times' through the momentary appearance of an expres sion of exhaustion on his face, but his famous smile" still has Its ever-ready propensities and his deep gutteral chuckle continues to win sympathetic smiles from those who come In touch with him. ' This morning Mr. Taft was looking forward with pleasant anticipations to an automobile trip over the Columbia river highway from Portland to Hood River, Sunday morning. "It always does me good to get, bat Into your beautiful country with its wonderful green shades mingling in the landscape." he said. "You have a country like Ireland and England In its abundance of green."

He directed that a copy of the wm be handed to the different breweries In Portland, Or., to "assist them In showing the people how he was mur dered by the prohibitionists." But Dr. Toel lived too long. Even with prohibition In effect, he hung on for more than three years, so the breweries closed long before his will was made public Dr. Toel died last Thursday at the Perkins hotel In this city, where he had gone a day or two before.
