PROBE MAY EXTEND TO CAMPAIGNS

Senator Pomerene Would Authorize Senate Investi-j gating Committee to Extend! Inquiry to Summer s rohtics PALMER DENIES CHARGE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, June 3. The senate was asked today by Senator Pomerene. Democrat, to authorize the committee investigating pre-convention political financing to extend its inquiry to the presidential and senatorial campaign which will end with the elections in November. The names of William Wrigley, Jr., and C. L). Shaffer, of Chicago, previously mentioned as heavy contributors to the Wood fund, were read off the receipt books by the committee this morning. Senator Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio, referred to payments of $ 40,000 to Burtt himself, which are shown by , the books. The witness said they were paid to the Ohio committee. ' "This was accounted for to the committee by A. A. Sprague. treasurer of the national committee, when he was here last week," Mr. Burtt said. Says They Had Meeting C. H. LuelL of New York, was the next witness. He told the committee he was associated with the Wood campaign "during the early days and until the change in management, which occurred In January, when John T. King went out." "The first plan was to raise a half million dollars to finance a national campaign," he continued. "There was a meeting at the home of Ambrose Monell, where General Wood, Robert Cassatt and myself were present. It was in the end of November, 1919." "Was the meeting pre-arranged?" asked Senator Spencer, Republican, of Missouri. "Yes, Mr. Cassatt was asked to undertake the task," was the reply. "Later he definitely declined to take part, and so far as I know did not take part." With only two witnesses of the subpoenaed list remaining to be heard, the committee expected to suspend temporarily its activities. Just what the future policy of the company would be was in doubt following the action of Senator Edge, Republican, of New Jersey, late yesterday afternoon in announcing he would seek release from further attendance upon the sessions. Sayc It's Useless Further. Senator Edge took the position that the committee already had accomplished what it had been instructed to do; that it had brought out what the approximate expenditures of the principal candidates for the presidential nomination had been and that further proceedings simply would result in "inquisitorial sessions." One of the two witnesses to be heard today was Warren Gregory, named as the leader in the Herbert Hoover campaign in the California primary. The contest In that state was be fore the committee at adjournment yesterday, the last witness being J. H. Rossiter, one of the supporters of Senator Johnson. Mr. Rossiter testified to his knowledge about $125,000 had been raised by the Johnson forces for use in California. Bitter Clash Features Hearing. A clash between Attorney General rainier and F.ugene C. Bonniwell of Philadelphia, who it was disclosed, were political enemies of long standing, enlivened the session. Charges by Bonniwell of misuse of federal power by Mr. Palmer in his Pennsylvania campaign were branded as unqualifiedly false by the latter. The attorney general appeared during the luncheon recess after Mr. Bonniwell had launched a broadside of charges, including a sweeping assertion that the whole Palmer campaign in Pennsylvania had been a "ghastly and debasing degradation of law." Mr. Palmer, in opening his statement, said Bonniwell had employed "character assassination" methods against him in Pennsylvania for years, and concluded it with the assertion that in Pennsylvania "Judge Bonniwell's word is not evidence of fact." Cummings Leases Seidel Buggy Factory Building; Plans Large Expansion D. H. Cummings, of the Lorraine Motor Hearse company, said Thursday that his company had leased !hf Seidel buggy factory at North Twelfth and E streets. This property was recently sold by George Seidel, president, to the American Seeding Machine company. Seidol. however, was to retain possession until June, 1921. With the acquisition of the Seidel plant, the Lorraine Motor company takes a place of prominence in the Richmond industrial world. This company recently increased its capital stock from 50.nn to. $l,5no nm. This increased capitalization, explained Cummings, was made merely to take care of the increasing busine-s of the company. About 30 men will be employed at the now addition. The lease marks the end of the carriage industry in Richmond. George Seidel founded the concern about 16 years ago. At that time thp Wesfcott carriage company was in full swing. Later the Westcott plant was turned Into an automobile factory exclusively. In 1919 George Seidel, president of the Seidel Buggy company, founded the Pilot Motor Car company. He continued in the buggy business, although acting as president of both concerns.

Wants U. S. to Get Behind Foreign Business Ventures (By Associated Press) CINCINNATI. O.. June 3. Speaking before the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, Harry A. Wheeler, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, urged that the government "place itself underneath business in a helpful way. especially in the export field just as England and other countries have done." It is this "getting underneath," he said, that accounted for the success of Great Britain In the world's markets, and until nhe United States governmentgives the samo consideration and assistance to its business men In

foreign countries, the American exporter will be at a disadvantage, he declared. UGHTS ORDERED FOR BRIDGE; FIREMEN TO BEPLAT00NEDS00N? The city board of works decided Thursday to proceed at once with the installation of the lights on the Main street bridge as specified in the original plans. The board thus abandons its more recent decision to erect temporary lights. The lights will cost approximately $6,500, James Dillon, superintendent of the municipal light plant, estimates. and the city attorney was instructed! to draw up an ordinance for the amount. Twenty-two cluster lights will be erected on each side of the bridge. On each approach to the bridge two especially powerful lights will be placed. The work of installing the clusters will be done by the employes of the municipal plant. Platoons Are Recommended The board recommended to the city council that the platoon system be installed in the local fire department August 1. The city council recently instructed the board to consider abandonment of the improvements on South E, Fourth 6treet and Ft. Wayne avenue in order to provide sufficient funds for the system. The board found that by rescinding the order for the improvement of South E street from Sixteenth to Twenty-third streets enough money would be made available to establish the system. The board accordingly will go ahead with the other improvements and the city clerk was instructed to advertise for bids on them. The South E street improvement contract will be let at the same time the county lets the contract for the 18-foot strip of roadway provided for by the three-mile road law. Must File Oil Petitions The board announced Thursday that all petitions for oiling of the streets must be filed with the city clerk on or before July 10. The necessity of ordering the oil in advance in large quantities makes the setting of a time limit on the petitions imperative, the engineer says. The board went on record as favoring the establishment of a Wayne County Service Men's Welfare committee. City Controller Bescher was appointed to attend the organization meeting Thursday afternoon. Mr. Bescher will represent Mayor Zimmerman, who is ill. GREAT HOSPITALS TO BE BUILT FOR VETS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. June 3.

TENNESSEE, GREATEST BATTLESHIP, IS PUT INTO NAVY SERVICE (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, June 3. The superdreadnaught, Tennessee, the largest and most formidable battleship afloat, goes into commission today at the Brooklyn navy yard. Formal ceremonies were set for 2:30 o'clock. Constructed here at a cost of $20,000,000, she represents the last word in battleship architecture. She is 625 feet long, has a beam of 98 feet and a displacement of 32,500 tons. She is the next thing to a pleasure yacht in the comfort of her appointments for officers and men. She is the first battleship to recruit her entire personnel from the state from which it takes its name, and she represents advantages taken from lessons learned in the battle of Jutland and other important naval battles of the world war. Has Fighting Brain. This last special feature, which distinguishes the Tennessee from all other units of the United States navy, is the highly organized "fighting brain" enclosed in a steel fort near the top of the forward mast. Here are concentrated devices for observing many ships, a device not known, in the battle of Jutland, enabling the crew to quickly ascertain the positiou of enemy craft. Special devices are installed in this turret to enable the crew to quickly train the 14-inch guns on the enemy before the crew of any other battleship known could even sight the Tennessee. This new device consists of three decks and their fighting complement is 25 men. Signal Devices Modern. By special signalling devices, connected throughout the ship, reports from this fighting top can be flashed instantly to all parts of the ship, thus insuring instant correction of range, and rapid firing. This "fighting brain" is filled with mechanical devices for range finding and other delicate instruments never be fore used on a battleship. Another important feature in the construction of the Tennessee is her electrical control of speed, enabling her to quickly change from her capacity speed of 21 knots to an almost imperceptible motion This is considered an important point from the standpoint of maneuvering MANDATE RESOLUTION IS OUT OF COMMITTEE WASHINGTON. D. C, June 3. The senate resolution on President Wilson's request for authority to accept a mandate over Armenia was ordered cut today by the house foreign affairs committee.

VENEZELOS TO KEEP MARTIAL LID ON (By Associated Press) ATHENS, Greece, May 31. Martial law in this country will continue as long as Greece is at war with Turkey and the peace treaty is unsigned. Premier Venezelos said in a speech in the chamber of deputies today. Opposition parties, instead of "rejoicing over the triumph of their country in the peace treaty have taken advantage of the abolition of martial law to start a propaganda for the return of King Constantine," he declared. "The government," M. Venezelos continued, "does not fear that 6uch machinations will succeed, but reopening of questions relative to the former king A-ill certainly lead to bloodshed, as the opposition parties are desperate and the largf iiberal majority is equally determined not to permit the issue to be raised. The government has extended the olive brance to the opposition, which has replied with sediton." Wayne Works Moulders' Demands Impossible, Says Clements, Head of Firm John H. Clements, of the Wayne Works, said Thursday that his concern absolutely would not accede to demands of about 75 striking moulders and coremakers. Their jobs will be held open for a reasonable length of time, however, he said. These men walked out from the Wayne Works Wednesday afternoon. They demanded a flat day rate of 90 cents an hour; time and a half for overtime and double time on Sunday, and the discontinuance of piece work. Clements saia everything in the Wayne Works foundry and core room is made on a piece work basis. He also said the coremakers made six per cent more on piece work than they would on the new demands. Moulders made about 10 per cent more. "By acceding to these demands," said Clements, "we would be taking money from the men that really work and giving it to men who do not do as much." Officials of the Swayne-Robinson and American Seeding Machine companies said Thursday that their foundry employes appear contented. No demands have been presented at either place. C. Thomas Dead in Anderson Friends in this city received word Thursday morning of the death of Calvin West Thomas, who died at his home at 261 Main street, Anderson, Ind., at 4:45 p. m., Wednesday.

CONTESTS FOR

6. 0. P. PLACES SMOOTHED OUT Seats Are Adjusted and Big Time Stuff Begins as Johnson and Harding Arrive Five Days Ye. RULING FORJHE FUTURE (By Associated Press) CHICAGO. June 3. By unanimous resolution the Republican national committee directed Chairman Hays to notify all state organizations that they must discontinue holding local conventions for election of national delegates in places where "it Is the custorn and practice to refuse admission to negroes." Shortly after the committee resumed its consideration of delegate contests it was announced that in Sixth Tennessee District Harry A. Luck, of Nashville, had withdrawn his contest. J. C. R. McCall, of Nashville, uninstructed, was 6eated. He was claimed for Wood. The first contest taken up was the suspended Florida case dispute between the Wood faction headed by Committeeman Beam and that led by H. L. Anderson, of Jacksonville, reported to favor Johnson. Jacob L. Babler. of St. Louis. Mo., national committeeman who told the senate investigation committee of receiving Lowden funds arrived today and took bis seat in the committee. Two Republican presidential candidates Senator Johnson of California, and Senator Harding of Ohio, arrived In Chicago today, and their coming marks the beginning of the active days of the pre-convention period. Dry Man Asks Questions. Virgil G. Hinshaw, chairman of the Prohibition national committee, this morning drew up two questions for presentation to the Republican presidential candidates and said he was going immediately to their headquarters to ask an answer In person of each candidate or his representative. The questions were: Do you believe in the 18th amendment, as interpreted by the Volstead act, which act as you understand Interprets intoxicating liquors to be anyihing containing more than one-half of one per cent of alcohol? "Do you favor your party adopting a plank in its national platform endorsing the 18th amendment and Its enforcement as interpreted by the Volstead act or some measure equally eeffcUve?" Mr. Hinshaw declared he Intended to tell the whole country what answer each candidate made to these questions. Five days remain before the Republican party assembles in the Coliseum to pick its candidate and those five days are expected to contain crowded hours of conferences, last minute alignment of forces, and final decisions among the campaign managers. Everyone of the candidates except Herbert Hoover is expected here at some time. The advance guards of the delegates are beginning to arrive and by Sunday they will be coming In a steady stream. The majority of them to be sure are technically unpledged but most of them have their leanings and very few of them are claimed by less than three campaign managers. But Nobody Is Sure. Some of the chairmen of the Incoming delegations are announcing their preferences in prepared statements which breathe confidence and success, but the political managers standing on the sidelines and making up their slates have found no reason or changing their opinion that while some of the candidates have enough delegates to give them formidable fighting strength in the convention, it is going to take more than two or three ballots to show where the forces of conciliation and compromise must be applied to bring forth a candidate who will command a majority. If the realm of speculation were to be entered it would be necessary to mention practically evedy candidate who has announced himself thus far, because everyone of these mnriMnta has a manageer who advances a set or reasons why his principal is the logical choice for a convention which will not be prepared to give a majority of its votes to anyone at the outside. as the delegates begin to gather, there is a forerunner of discussion nt the convention issues which will find expression in the party platform and mose wno are interested In having the party take a Dosition on varimia subjects, are busy lining up influences wnicn they expect to be effective In the deliberations of the resolutinn committee. Expected to Speed Up. As soon as the members of the national committee are freed from consideration of the claims of delegates contesting for 6eats, things are expected to move along with more speed. The committeemen will find themselves free to give attention tr th. convention issues. While tile contests are on discussion of candidates, platform and prospects are to tbem left hand work. The committee today still had before it, awaiting decision, the Florida and Georgia cases and the cases of the eighth district delegates from Mls(Contlnued on Page Ten) FORGE WHISKEY PRESCRIPTIONS IN CHICAGO TOO SAYS HOWARD (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, June 3.
