LABOR TOWER CAMPAIGN AIM ON GIP. TICKET And 'Hell’n Maria' Dawes, Hated by Gompers, Will Bear Brunt. By United Press ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug. 5. —Labor’s attack in the three cornered presidential race must be cen tered on Charles G. Dawes, council of the American Federation of La bor decreed today. v In its first order to its 3.000,000 members the committee shouted a warning against the Republican candidate and gave its first campaign slogan, ‘‘raise hell with Hell'n Maria. ’* Defeat of the Republican ticket is regarded as even more necessary than election of La Follette, the labor candidate. Dawes Hat-ed Dawes is hated with sincere bitterness by Samuel Gompers. labor’s chief, who says the Republican vice presidential nominee “typifies the extreme enemies of our cause.” Phamplets setting forth record of the Chicago banker were ordered prepared by the committee for circulation. These documents charge Dawes with originating the organization known as “the Minute Men of the Constitution.” and through it attempting to destroy organized labor by creation of the open shop. They accuse him of undisguised capitalism and "dollar despotism.” To go along with this, the pamphlets cite record of President Coolidge in the Boston police strike, where they maintain he revealed an anti-union stand. Matthew Well, who is acting as Gompers’ right-hand man in the campaign, expressed sentiments of the committee in a statement declaring that “General Dawes' record will receive the proper attention and we are not without information as to that record as far as labor is concerned.” . ' Work With La Follette Well says the committee will work in complete harmony with the directing La Follette committee in Washington and aid wherever possible. Well welcomed La Follette's reply' to the indorsement, saying: “It is of great importance because some of the Senator’s critics have intimated that there was in the Senator's economic philosophy a strain of variance with us.” HIGH BOND IS FIXED Police Say Man Obtained White Mule From Woman. Daisy Maple, 612 E. Wabasn Sr., is held today under high bond on a vagrancy charge. Lieutenant Eisenhut stated an investigation showed that after he arreted Henry Galand, 531 E. Market St., he learned that Galand had obtained white mule from the woman. Last Thursday the officers arrested her and charged her with operating a blind tiger, f Shirley Gibson, colored, of 308 N. Senate Ave., was charged with transporting liquor after police say they found an auto bearing his certificate of title with a five-gallon can of alcohol It in.

Senator Couzens Promises Biggest Investigation of All When He Probes Into Treasury Department
By CHARLES P. STEWART XEA Service Writer C-Wjl ASHINGTON, Aug. s.—“ln|\vy I vestigating” is going to | I break out again in Washington, Sept. 1, probably worse than ever before. It will be only one investigation, instead ow half a dozen, as I earlier in the year; but that one, for various reasons, promises for to outclass anything heretofore. It is the investigation Senator Couzens started into the Treasury Department. / Senator Couzens’ plan is to delve specially into the doings of the Income tax division and the prohibition unit. Against these two administtrations more charges probably have been made than against all other governmental departments, bureaus, divisions and units combined. That’s one reason why sensations of the first order are foreseen. It 1? an investigation, of all inv stigations, which has been desper t?ly fought. The fact, despite all o .stacles, that those behind it are stlli determined to jam it through, suggests a tenacity, a ruthlessness, on their part that promises “the real thing.” The character of some of the investigators suggests it, too.' • May Enliven Campaign And it wiJJ, come right in midst of a national campaign. Whatever is brought out. if anything, will have its bearing—red hot, perhaps —on The campaign itself. It will be recalled that: Senator Couzens first asked for a treasury inquiry. The investigating committee chairmanship went to Senator Watson of Indiana, who wanted no such investigation. Couzens was given a place on the committee. So were Senators King of Utah and Jones of New Mexico, who were friendly to the inquiry, but seemingly not, at the time, en-' thusiastically so. A fifth member was Senator Ernst of Kentucky, who, like Senator Watson, didn't believe there was anything to investigate. k Couzens. with little backing, had to push the inquiry mostly by himself. No trained investigator, as he expresses it, he simply “floundered around." But he didn’t give up, as doubtless it was expected he would. Suddenly came the announcement that he had hired Francis J. Heney, San Francisco graft prosecutor, to help him out. This meant a sure-enough ifivestigation—at once. The outcry was terrific. President Coolidge himself joined in the protest, scolding the Senate for doing so much investigating, anyway. Couzens had no right to hire a lawyer of his own, he said. Can’t Stop Them But the Senate supported Couzens. Since it was doubtful if he did have a right to hire his own lawyer, a resolution was adopted for Heney’s employment by the Senate. At that point Couzens, the investigation’s whole inspiration, fell ill. From that moment not another word about the inquiry was said and it was generally believed —and hoped by some—it had been forgotten, until a few days ago, when, most unexpectedly, Senators Couzens. King and Jones called on Chairman Watson, with news they were ready -to begin again. Senator Watson resigned. Senator Ernst was out of town, but it was expected he would quit, too. Little, however, care Couzens, King and Jones. They decided to go ahead by themselves. Couzens was elected chairman. But to avoid the slightest suggestion of animus, the three decided to select other counsel in place of Heney. They set Sept. 2 for the start. There is small doubt they will make it then. If It develops what many officials predict It will, it will be among the most sensational features of what promises already to be a most unusual presidential campaign.

The resolution on school books: “This organization has always stood and will continue to stand, for the improvement of the educational facilities of the public school system and that the proportional share of the added cost thereof will be borne without complaint by the Individuals of our membership. But. on the other hand, expense avoidable and unnec essary, springing from Individual whims, cannot be condemned too severely by all school patrons, and this organization does now condemn the act of the school board in making the recent changes in the music textbook and for making other arbitrary and frequent changes in other textbooks, with the seeming design of causing frequent purchasing of new books by the patrons. “Be it therefore resolved, That we oppose ail such unwarranted acts of the, school board, and that we advocate such legislation as will place and hold the interests of the school patrons above those of the publishers of text books.” Silent policemen at Rural and Washington Sts., Rural and New York Sts., Rural and Michigan Sts. and New York St. and Sherman DrWill Ije asked by the club.

A Puzzle a Day-
“MA KEPT A LION” “Little Willie had a bad habit of picking up everything he laid his hands on; one day he made a trip to the zoo, and brought a young lion home with .him, so his mother kept the animal for him in the back yard. N The puzzle, however, is this; re arrange the letters in the statement “Ma kept a lion,” and you can form * single word which will tell you little Willia’s greatest fault. Yesterday’s answer: s’ The first player pocketed the three striped balls, which were numbered 13, 14, 15, a total of 42. The second player won the plain colored balls, numbered 1, 2 and 3, a total of 6. Six is the lowest possible total with three balls; 42 the highest, and hence the only possible arrange ment by which three balls could pro duce a total seven times as great as three other balls. In pool, balls 9-16 are always striped; so the win' ning player must have won the striped balls. Garage Robbed O. J.
