MOORE SA YS PLAN TO RAISE MONEY SECRET Vast System Within By stem Told About by Cox's Campaign Manager . COMMITTEE TAKES ADJOURNMENT CHICAGO, Sept. 3. —The workings of a great “secret system” of campaign fund collection by the republican party will be laid before the senate “slush fund” investigators here next week, E. H. Moore, Gov. Cox’s mana- , ger at the San Francisco convention, predicted yesterday shortly after his f arrival to present new evidence supporting Cox’s charges against G. O. P. > leaders. Moore was prevented from beginning his disciosures when the. com- ! rnittee adjourned until next Tuesday. Adjournment was taken because several members of the committee s had important speaking engagements outside Chicago.

In the meantime a summons had gone to republican headquarters here for submission to the committee of the names of all “regional financial directors” and all records kept by Henry M. Blair, assistant to Treasurer Fred V. Upham. It Is upon the alleged activities of felalr and the “regional directors” that Moore's evidence rests. "The committee.” said Xloore. “will be given lead? which, if followed, will disclose a -vast system within a system —a secret plan of money raising designed to produce a great sum. MOORE TEEES OF SECRET SYSTEM “There was one system of ways and means committees throughout the states, which operated under I'pham'a direction, and which \he public was let in on. “But behind that was a secret system. under Blair's direction, made up of regional workers, who organized teams, had team captains and conducted a drive for funds. "This secret organization made up quotas, not only for states but for cities. “Upham and Hays denied at first that there were any quotas at all. '■Then' they were forced to admit that there were state quotas, but they still .deny there are city quotas, as charged : by Gov. Cox at Pittsburg. “This committee, if it will, can find out E all about those city quotas. “They were fixed Just as Gov. Cox read them at Pittsburg." Part of Moore's evidence consists of “Form 101,” which, he said, comprised instructions sent out by Blair to the money raisers in the alleged "secret organization.” "This form.” said Moore, "is conclusive evidence of the plans that were made and followed. SPEC IFIC INJUNCTION AS TO SECRECY. HE SAYS. • "It contains a specific injunction to • secrecy. cautioning workers not to leave anything lying around on • tables at {luncheons held for the purpose of comt paring notes and making plans. [ "It further provides for the 'cream hist' of which Gov. Cox told. ! “This list was to be made up of twenty or twenty-five good prospects in a t<-otntauuHy and as a special favor was 'to he given to team captains, j "Luncheons were to be held at which team members were to be assigned lists of prospeets they were to canvass for contributions.” Moore said if the republicans would• "Just come out and tell the truth about \ raising the nr cney they would have nothing to fear.” They have committed no crimes by simply raising a large snm. he added. “The wrong thing about it." aald Moore, “will lie In their concealment of it and their expenditure of such a ! great sum after they collect it.” The -switch in plans forced the committee to postpone Its projected hear- 1 !tig In Pittsburg which had been tentatively set for next week It is uncertain whether William Barnes will be asked to appear he-e or will be Hiiestioned. later iu the east concerning ills alleged plans to ra'se funds for republican propaganda. "The senate investigating coramltttee can either dig up the proof of Gov. Cox’* charges or It can leave matters so that i Truman Newberry will have a lot of dla- | tingnished company.” Moore made thia statement while wait- • ing for the committee to decide whether it would hear him of not. Moore said that if the senate commit- j tee does not produce and act on evidence of Cox’s charges, the evidence will be, laid before the department of Justice.

JOHNSON TAX LAW THWARTS SALE OFBONDS Market Shy of Proposed Issue, Park Board Attorney Says. FEARS ‘JOKER’ IS IN ACT The supposed Joker in the Johnson “home rule” amendment to the state tax bill, passed at the recent special session of the state legislature by which, as The Times originally pointed out several weeks ago, it is impossible for bonds to be Issued legally by any county, city or township or school government until Jan. 1, is Influencing local banks and bond houses to go slowly in buying sueh bonds. v This face was brought out yesterday at the meeting of the board of park commissioners during a discussion of plans for issuing bonds to make the many Improvements on park properties which have been under discussion for some time. Clyde Hoffman, attorney for the board, discussing the plans from the legal angle, pointed out that the local municipal bond market has been made very cautious because of the possibility that the sup- j posed joker may turn out to be real, despite a ruling by Attorney General Ele Stansburg that no mistake has been made. The supposed Joker arises out of the fact that section four of the Johnson amendment repeals, in its entirety, section 203 of the state tax law passed in 1919. Section 20.3 is that in which the state board of tax commissioners receives the , power to pass on bond issues of local ] government units. Since Section 4 of the Johnson amendment entirely wipes out Section 203 and does not contain any language giving the power to pass on bond Issues to uny > governmental body, except that it returns the power to th- local unit after Jan. 1, 1921, several prominent local at- . torneys are of the opinion there is grave doubt whether any governmental unit has the power to Issue bonds until the ; beginuing of the year. The board reached no definite decision on the matter of bond issues, defer ring it for two or three weeks until : James H. Lowry, superintendent of parks, has had time to make a thorough j investigation of the market for the kind of bonds which the board must issue. Further difficulty In selling the securities is expected because of the fact that ♦he legislature gave authority to the board to issue bonds for five-year terms only at C per cent. Twenty year bonds bearing *> per cent interest might be sold easily, it Is said, but bond buyers are not eager to buy those for shorter tprms. The board adopted a resolution calling for the negotiation of a temporary loan of $35,000, with which to pay Us bills from Oct. 1 until the November installment of tax money is received The attorney was Instructed to prepare an ordinance authorizing ihe loan which will be presented to the city council The loan Is made necessary through the fact that the board, because of the mistake In the assessed valuation of city

BOGUS OFFICER NAMES DOCTOR Tells Where to Get Certificate Signed. Warning that anew kind of bogus “health inapector” is abroad In the city was issues yesterday by Dr. Henry G. Morgan, secretary of the board of public health. The latest Imposter is helping one ot two doctors, considered unethical by the more reputable members of the profession, to fatten off of the Ignorance of the law in men and women who are required to pass physical examinations In order to handle food. The bogus “Inspectors” and the unethical doctors are planning a financial harvest during State Fair week and It Is to block them that the warning is issued, Dr. Morgan said. The warning is as follows: “Upon several occasion? the attention of this department has been called to parties who represent themselves to be health officers In order to induce food handlers to go to a certain physician for a health certificate. SIGNED BY ANY DOCTOR “The state food laws require that all food handlers have a certificate showing that they are in good health, but this may be signed by auy licensed physician of the state. "The health department has absolutely no power to designate any particular physician to Issue these certificates. “Anyone representing himself to be an agent of the .board of health and Indulging in this practice Is bogus and without any authority. “Get your health certificate signed by any licensed physician.” The fake inspectors have been going around to restaurants, groceries and other placer, where food was handled and telling employes that they must go to the specified doctor or doctors. The doctors charge an unusually high fee, of which. It Is thought, the “Inspectors” get a goodly percentage. Paul G. Davis in Big Demand as Speaker Paul G.
