WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. (A. P.) Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations committee today asked Sec retaries Mellon and Hoover of the American debt funding committee for full Information concerning recent loans made in this country to Euro pean nations. The Idaho senator said ho had been informed that foreign ' nations were obtaining loans In this country at C and 8 per cent interest and that the amount of such private loans to "lor elgn countries and industries during the last year" had reached one hllllun dollars, with one billion more In the progress of negotiation. Press dispatches, the letters to the cabinet officers stated, declared that prospective settlements will pave the way for a flood of loans to Europe. Senator Dorah holds that If Euro pean "governments are negotiating large loans in this country at this time at 6 and 8 per cent interest, giving security acceptable to Ameri can bankers, the foreign debtor na tions can afford to pay the terms the same as were imposed In the British debt to the United States. Economically and financially, France Is able to pay her debt on that basis, Senator Borah holds. League of Nations Moved. GENEVA, Sept. 25. Lord Cecil In a brilliant and moving address before the league of nations assembly today supported the resolution calling for the preparation or. a general msarma ment conference and-the consldera- tlon of some system of conciliation and arbitration. The characterization In the draft resolution of aggressive warfare as a "crime." he said, merited special at tention from the world. He reaf firmed Great Britain's devotion to the principle of arbitration and cited her attitude In the dispute with Turkey over Mosul as evidence of his coun try's anxiety to further the cause of peaceful settlement of International difficulties. Lord Cecil voiced confidence that progress was being made toward the achievement of both disarmament and security. Wire Report on the Pear Market NEW YORK, Sept. 25 (U. S. Hit renu of Markets.)

'A NEW YORK, Sept. 25. (A. P. Far from being downhearted over the defeat of his club in the National league race for the first time In five years. John McOraw, grey-haired man ager of the New York Olants. regards the triumph of the Pittsburg club as a "good tonic" for baseball. McOraw has nothing but praise for the Pirates, but predicts that the Glonts will be back on top In 1926. "Of course, I was eager to set a record of five straight pennants and get another crack nt the Senators." said McOraw today, "hut having got over the shock of having that ambi tion blocked. I am ready to admit that baseball fans perhaps even the New York fans were tired of the continu ance of Olant supremacy. "I conie that the victory of the L H'rntes should be a good tonic for National league baseball. Barney Crejluss' outfit certainly knocked at Gave His Wife to Boarder On Account Cooking and Conduct .

CONFESSES HE Jailer Got $2000 Per Month 'Dead Sister' Visits at $100 Each Alleged Bribe " Taker Absent Man Who Gave Tip Killed. CHICAGO, Sept. 25 (A. P.) Frank Lake, beer-maker and federal prison er, confessed from the witness stand today that he and his partner, Terry Drut'gan. paid $2000 a month for privileges to Wesley Westbrook, for mer jail warden, and various sums to others, and Federal Judge Wilkerson ordered Westbrook, Huns Thompson, former assistant superintendent of the jail and Henry Foerst, formerly Westbrook's secretary, taken into custody. A deputy marshal was sent out for Westbrook, who, the judge said, must be in court. The others were turned over to the marshal. Westbrook yesterday denied " that he had ever received money from Lake or Druggan. He was not in court today. The first payment. Lake testified, was $1000 to Foerst for a transfer from a cell to a hospital ward. Other payments followed quickly, he said, $100 being slipped into Foerst's coat pocket each time he was taken to visit n sister who died, until $1500 had been paid. After his sister's funeral, said Lake $2500 or $3000 was said Foerst for a transfer of Lake and Druggun to the hospital ward. "1 know Thompson got $500 the first and fifteenth of every month," said Lake. "Mr. Druggun paid It In my presence." NEW YORK,' Sept. 25. (A . P.) Police headquarters today received information that David Brum, alleged pickpocket, narcotic peddler, und rum runner, who was found deud In a sedan in the upper east side this morning furnished a tip that led to the raiding of the bootleggers' hend quarters in the Knickerbocker and L.ongacre buildings in Times Hquui-e Wednesday by federal agents. The Times Square raid, conducted by more than a score of department of Justice agents and police uncov ered whut was later described as the "biggest bootlegging ugency in the country." Ten nrrests were . mnde, nmong them Mux CJreenberg, who, United States Attorney Buckner declared, was the bruins of the illicit organiza tion. Krom bank checks and vouchers the raiders found indications of un usually large financial operations which they sold indicated nation-wide activities. SANTA HARUARA, Cul.

He pointed out that Pittsburg will enter the an nual classic under the handicap of facing a new experience, but that the club's hitting strength and excellent pitching should offset this. Washington, he added, also has formidable twirling and the all im portant factor of steadiness. "Steadiness won the pennant for Rucky Harris," said McOraw, "and .Tnhnsntl nn d Coveleskln. the Cluhi star right handers, may decide the series in their favor.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25. (A. F.) Radical organizations receiving as sistance from a fund created by Charles Garland, of North Carver. Mass., "to fight . capitalism." have made more than $1,000,000 In Wall street In the lust two years. The American fund for public service has increased from $800,000 to $1,500. 000, Morris Ernst, counsel for the foundation, revealed today, despite the fact that $500,000 has been given nway to various radical organizations and nublications.- 'Some of our securities rose in vniua 2.000 per cent in two years," Mr Ernst Bald. "A large part of our cap ital was stock In the First National hank which increased more than $1000 a share. It shows that radicals are conservative when it conies to handling money on a large scale." Dr. Norman Thomas, socialist can didate for mayor, described the fund's success in making money In Wall street as one of the greatest jokes of the season. 'It's not n Joke on us," he said. "It's a Joke on George P. Baker, chairman of the board of directors of the First National Bank. Think of George F. linker (one of the richest men In the country) making money for the radi cal movement." Garland, Harvard graduate and so cialist, established the fund In 1022 with the $800,000 he refused to nccept as his share of the estate of his father, .lames A. Garland, Boston millionaire. He is now living on a farm near Ens- ton. To. "Private property is the main cause of unhnpplness," Garland said at the time. "The longen you have money the harder It is to see straight." Dr. Scott Nearlng Is president of the foundation which is Incorporated in Delaware. Radical newspnpers In Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle. Okla homa and New York hnve been subsi dized. The growth of the fund was re vealed In connexion with an an nouncement that broadcasting rights for stated periods dally. are to be pur chased in a radio station with about $50.1100 of the fund. Dr. Thomas and Mr. Ernst said that radical and liTiernl dlscusslsons of politics, sociology and economics would be broadcast at stat ed hours each day because the present radio urograms are one-sided. Tho urograms also will include jazz and classical -music, drnmatlc selec tions nnd talks on literature. Shortly after announcement or tne rndlcals' radio plans. Cardinal Hayes dedicated radio station WLWL nt the Pnullst church and praised It as a means of helnlng to stifle "lying prop nganda" nnd of giving "the seeds of truth to the winds or heaven.
