Youth Accused of
Taking Dad's Car
That the 14-year-old son of J.
W. Hamilton, of Albany, is believed
to have stolen his father's automo

by Salem police.
Local officers were asked to
keep on the look-out for the lad.
The car was said to have wire

as yet been seen here. The com

pared Alleged Plea
for Money
Chicago, Aug. 31. Deniat undr
oath that he had ever seen, heard
of or ordered made up the list of
campaign quotas assigned to vari
ous cities, as presented by Governor
Cox in the latter's recent speech
at Pittsburgh, was made today by
Fred W. Upham, treasurer of the
republican national committee, in
testimony before the senatorial com
mittee investigating campaign ex
penses. Chairman Kenyon of the
committee, caled attention to the
list, saying it tallied more than S,
000,000. Never Saw List.
"The first time I ever saw the
list was in the newspapers the day
after the Cox speech," said Mr. Upr
ham. "Furthermore no one in my
office madeup such a list with my
knowledge or consent."
Mr. Upham also denied flatly
that the official bulletins issued
from his office to field workers en
gaged in raising the republican cam
paign fund wore secret or counse
led secrecy. He pointed out that
the only prohibiton In that respem
referred to publishing lists of con
tributions in local newspapers.
"Such a list was published in one
city," he said, "and several persons
objectedt o seeing their names in
print."
Hays Figure Increased.
Seven hundred thousand dollars
was added to the proposed repub
lican campaign chest figures pre
sented by Chairman Hays yesterday
when Treasurer Upham revealed
that the republican senatorial and
congressional campaign committees
are to raise independent funds.
He testified that the national
committee up to $500,000 and the
congressional! committee $200,000
to be returned when they cortect
their own funds.
Mr. Upham explained that only
$600,000 of the loans could actually
be spent in the 1920 campaign as
the senatorial committee was to get
only $400,000 before November 2.
The other $100,000 Is to be used to
finance future campaigns.
Senator Reed, cross-examining
Mr. Upham brought out the fact
that money advanced the two com
mittees was on straight loans and
was not included in the budget of
approximately '$4,000,000 which
Chairman Hays told of yesterday.
Banks Back Loons.
Two banks in New York, one in
Chicago, one in Boston and one in
San Francisco, as well as two in
dividuals have contributed to the
$360,000 borrowed by the republi
can national committee, Mr. Up
ham told Senator eRed. The loans
were made on authority of the
party executive committee and do
not constitute a legal obligation on
which the lenders could sue the
committee members, the witness
said.
The lenders, and the amount they
loaned the committee are:
Liberty National Bank, New
York, $125,000.
First National Bank, Boston,
$50,000.
Continental and Commercial Nat
ional Bank, Chicago, $50,000.
Chase National Bank, New York
$75,000.
Crocker National Bank, San
Francisco, $25,000.
Walter S. Dickey, $25,000.
Fred W. Upham, $10,000.
Bayonets are Cheap.
Before leaving the stand Mr. Up
ham, questioned by Senator Ken
yon, entered a catergorical denial
to Governor Cox's charge that the
"special interests" were financing
the republican campaign.
"Is any campaign being made
among those who seek to control
the federal reserve bank?" Senator
Kenyon asked.
"No."
"Is any" campaign to raise money
being conducted among people who
'want to put down labor disputes
with the bayonet?' "
"No, sir."
"Have you inquired the price of
bayonets?" Senator Reed interject
ed. "Yes, they are very cheap."

Fire Burns Over
Dried Klamath
Marsh, Claim
Closing of the Klamath straits
through which the Klamath river
during high water found its way
into Lower Klamath marsh and
lake, has left the peat lands in
the marsh at the mercy of a fire
which is slowly but surely convert
ing the marsh into a desert waste,
according to A. E. Bolton of San
Francisco, owner of 2400 acres of
land in Lower Klamath marsh.
Roltnn has annealed to Percy A.
Cupper, state engineer to use his
influence with the federal recla
mation service in an effort to se
cure the opening of the straits in
order to permit bf the natural
flow of the water onto the peat
lands which are now dried out and
threatened by destruction from
fire.
Lower Klamath lake, a part of
which is in Oregon and a part 'n
.California, together with Upper
Klamath lake, in Lake county, was
ceded to the federal government
for reclamation purposes in 1905.
At the present time the right to
the waters of the Klamath river
are contested between the Klam
ath drainage district, organized
for the purpose of reclaiming the
lands In Lower Klamath lake, and
the California-Oregon Power com
pany which proposes to construct
a dam for the storage of the water
in Upper Klamath lake for the
development of power at its plant
in California. A contract entered
into between the reclamation ser
vice and the power company has
been suspended through the ef
forts of Klamath post, American
Legion.
Clipper has referred Bolton's'
appeal to the secretary of the In

Cox Brands Hays' Denial
Of Subscriptions Above
$1000 Per Head False
Republican Chairman Caught in Own Trap b
Claim of Democratic Candidate; Clain
Preface to G. 0. P. Campaign Fund Plea
Called for $5000 Donations
Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 31. Gov
ernor Cox, democratic presidential
candidate, Tn a statement today de
clared as "absolutely untrue and
false" statements attributed to Will
H. Hays, chairman of the republi
can national committee, before the
senate sub-committee investigating
campaign expenditures, that it was
not the policy of the republican
committee to obtain contributions
in excess of one thousand dollars.
Governor Cox referred again to
what purported to be an otneiui
document issued by the republican
committee to prove his assertion.
The document referred to by UK
governor is alleged to have been
issued two days after Senator Hard
ing's nomination at .Chicago by
Treasurer Upham.
Quotes 6. O. P. Bulletin.
The document, Governor Cox
said, showed by its preface that
subscriptions were to be sought in
excess of . $S000, that the "quota"
should be "sold" and that a mini
mum of three hundred thousana
dollars was to be sought In cities
the siae of St. Louis, Cleveland and
Detroit.
Contrasting this official docu-
"ment from the republican national
headquarters. Governor Cox said,
"with the statement Mr. Hays yes
terday made under oath, I cannot
believe a single word he says oh the
subject. That he has been caught
in his own trap is evident."
Mr. Cox's statement in part fol
lows: Bays Badly Mixed
"I have read Will Hays' testi
mony before the senatorial com
mittee. For months he has said
to the public that the campaign
funds were to be raised through
individual subscriptions not ex
ceeding one thousand dollars. In
the fact of accumulating evidence,
he admits that in a number of in
stances, subscriptions were made
running as high as nine thousand
dollars, but in the same breath he
says that it was not the fixed pol
icy of the. national committee to
secure the money in allotments
exceeding tone thousand dollars.
This Is absolutely untrue and
again I $l1! Into evidence a docu
ment from the republican nation
al committee.
"Two days after Senator Hard
ing was nominated, a. communica
tion was sent to the men whom
Treasurer Upham himself char
acterized "as the 'money diggers.'
The document Is headed 'Campaign
plan larger cities.' The very first
advice Is this:
$5000 Minimum Set
" 'Secure as chairman for the
campaign a man widely known and
of commanding Influence. Have
him appoint a strong, representa
tive executive committee of at
least twelve men. It may tequire
two or three days to secure such
a committee, but It must be hand
picked. The time has arriv
ed when some prosper should
be asked for subscriptions rang
ing from $5000 and upwards. In
any case It is absolutely necessary,
first of all to sell' to this commit
tee the quota, and the campaign
plans.'
"The very preface of the doc
ument shows two things. First,
that subscriptions were to be
sought from five thousmd dollars
upwards and 'that the 'quota'
should be sold.
" 'In a city the size of St. T.otils,
Cleveland or Detroit, a glltdg-e Hat
of at least three thousar.d names
should :e secured. This I'st should
contain only the names of pros
pects able to contribute from $100
up.' This would make at th low
J t
est calculation practically one It
of a million dollars in cities ot
the given size, . 1

Whole Procedure Secret
That the whole procedure

the eye of the money digging:
chine is thoroughly established
another precaution as to
It is couched in these terms:
" 'No instructions to team ca
tains or workers should be prlafct

or dinners that might fall into

"The senatorial committee
