boon after his arrival at 9:45 this
rooming the ex-president retired to
his room for a short rest previous to
the luncheon In his honor by Mm Com
mercial club. His afternoon was d
voted entirely to work on a series of
editorials he is writing, after which
ha dines quietly with a few intimate
friends.
The former president arrived lu the
ctiy at 9:45 aboard a special coach on
the Oregon Electric railway. He was
met at the depot by Governor Ben W.
Olcott, members of the supreme court;
and Thomas B. Kay, former state
treasurer. With these jnen as escorts
the distinguished visitor was whisked
away in an auto to" Hotel Marlon,
where he rested until 12:30, the time
for his appearance at the lunch.
When Governor Olcott was intro
duced to Mr. Taft at the train by Mr.
Kay ,the former president exclaimed:
"Oh, yes. I have been very much
interested in your airplane flights."
The governor replied:
"You should go up also. It's great
fun."
Mrs. L. Riley and small daughter
were introduced to the former presi
dent. Mrs. Riley said she was a dis
tant cousin of Mrs. Taft.
"It pleases me greatly to meet

McCabe; Says

Washington, May 29. Inquiring in
to the Johnson-Hoover fight in the
California republican presidential pri- treaty and league of nations directly

that approximately $200,000 has been of the president In relations regarding

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."

Deprived Of Beer
:: Makes Will :;
Terms Outlived
Portland, Or.. May 29. When Ore
gon went bone dry in 1918, Dr. George
L, Toel, an elderly citizen of Dallas,
Or., was ready to die. He had a pre
monition that he would pass away be
cause he was to be deprived of beer- -his
staff of life.
So. Dr. Toel made his last will and
testament. He bequeathed to Dr. F. O.
Lehman of Portland, Mrs. Harriet E.
Smith .and Walter L Tooze Jr., both
of Da!ias, in equal parts, the money i
due him from Carl Hener Norden of i
Germany in caw of death taking place
in i-uiisrijuiriii-v ut an aiiucuuii o ine
stomach, "caused by the prohibition
law depriving him of the beer he had
been accustomed to for over forty-five
years."
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.
He iet t no estate other than two suit
cases and some personal effects. War
with Germany wiped out the amount
due him from an estate there.

McCabe, California state insurance commissioner, who acted its

Replying to questions ot Senator

not aggregate more than a few thou
sand dollars.
The wtiness testified that $25,009 of
the total of the California fund wai
sent to the Johnson national headquar
ters In New York. He added that he
had been in touch with the state or
sanitation up to "about May 4 when
the California primary closed,"
"Money was still coming In then,"
Mr. McCabe testlflea. "But we wen.
in constant difficulties meeting th
campaign of our opponents. Mr.
Hoover ran opposing Johnson then-.
Possibly $20,000 has been collected
since to meet the deficit."

Slate Officials Contribute.
"A large number of state officials
did contribute to us," Mr. McCabe said

they did not give large amounts."

millionaires are on the Johnson ticket
of delegates" from California, the wlt-
Vss named Mr. Crocker, Mr. Flelsh-
hlioks-, George I. Cochran and M. H.
De Young. Mr. DeYoung he said gav

"How many millionaires on the

to E. F, Mitchell in Indiana, probably
$5000 to Montana; $4000 to Michigan;

certain as to exact amounts. To Min
nesota $1,600 wns sent, he said.
Oilier States Aided.
"Then out of California funds you
sent more than $50,000 to other sta
tes?" Chairman Kenyon questioned.
"I'm sure that's about right," Mr.
McCabe answered.
"You say this money was raised In
small amounts?"
"Yes, by public appeals for funds."
"Somewhere around $50,000 was
I spent In California then. How was that
"In four big meetings we paid ex
penses of speakers," Mr. McCabe re
plied .adding that printing snd circu
lation of printed matter was the lar
gest item, with little or no money spent
on newspaper advertising.
"Did you see any evidence of ex
penditures by your opponents In the
Hoover campaign?" Senator Kenyan
asked.
"That was our great anxiety," Mr.
McCaoe answered. "We didn't know
how effective it was going to be. They
