The western "swing" of Governor Cox was opened early today with a beforebreakfast rear platform address to a railroad station crowd at Toledo while the Democratic candidate was enroute to Michigan. "I am starting for the coast," said Governor Cox to his sunrise audience. "We're in the fight to win. We will win because our cause deserves to win." In urging the league of nations, Governor Cox referred to the present disagreement over German indemnities. "The voice of America," he said, "must fix it. Now they say that we should substitute for the league the old Hague tribunal. Closed Up Before War. "That institution closed up before the war. I Imagine there are bats in its belfry and spider webs everywhere. "It was a distinct failure, having failed to prevent war in 1914. The opposition candidate says he will go back and open this old institution and try to keep house there." Declaring that the league "is the modern idea of bringing the nearest guarantee of peace," Governor Cox said it was a progressive plan and that Senator Harding, the Republican nominee, stood for reaction as he had done also in opposing the new Ohio. LANSING, Mich.. Sept. 3. Michigan Democrats gathered in force here today to greet Governor James M. Cox, opening a month's campaign tour planned to take him through 22 central and western states. A strenuous day had been arranged for the Democratic nominee. Enroute to the Michigan capital the program called for several rear platform addresses and a half-hour speech at Jackson.

Rosevelt, Democratic candidate for vice president, told an audience here today that "in traveling across the country he found a great number of people belonging to other parties whwo are grasping the real issues of this campaign." "I hope the big issues will remain uppermost," he continued, "and that the people will decide between them. That is why Governor Cox and I consider it our duty to go before the people and present the issues as we see them." CHICAGO. Sept. 3 Opinions of Gov. Cox and Senator Harding regarding a national department of public works, a budget system, development of resources and other questions of public interest are given in letters from the two candidates made public today by the American Association of Engineers.

He said he had been considering a department of public works and added: "I should be unworthy of public confidence if I ventured to decide such an important and far reaching question without tho very fullest study." "You may say, in a general way." he continued, "that I think very well of the appointment of an engineer on the interstate commerce commission and I have always spoken In favor of a progressive and constructive policy of conservation. I am sure y6u know I favor the budget system, and a very forward policy relating to reclamation and conservation."

COUNTY CANNOT CUT DOWN, BROOKS SHOWS IN FINANCE REPORT

In the financial report W. H. Brooks, county auditor, has prepared for submission to the board of county commissioners and to the county council at their joint meeting, next Tuesday, he calls attention to the fact that the county government has been affected by the high cost of living just as much as individuals but without the same degree of opportunity the individual enjoys of curtailing expenses by the practice of economy. The auditor points out in his report that about 50 per cent of the county's operating expenses are mandatory by statute, 30 per cent are required, leav ing only 20 per cent over which the county board can exercise any control. "It is, therefore, not an easy task to reduce greatly the amount of the budget without crippling some branch of the service," the auditor adds. Do Only Emergency Work. Mr. Brooks states in his report, that since the first of this year the policy of the county government has been to postpone new extensive improvements but to do all emergency work promptly. The balance on hand in the general fund of the county, June 30, which is supposed to be sufficient to meet the expenses of the county government for a period of six months, was larger than any balance show for the Bame period the past five years. This amount was 1120,932.64. Balances for the same period in previous years were: 1916, $52,910.96; 1917, $72,853.32; 1918, $87,330.95; 1919, $97,905.88. The report shows that the levy for the proposed south side bridge fund has produced a total of $95,631.55, of which amount $80,000 was transferred to the fund for the construction of the Main street bridge, leaving $15,621.55 in the south side bridge fund. The net cost for the maintenance of the county infirmary in 1919 was $14,936.74, the report shows. $10,281 Repairs at Smithfield. The report shows that $10,281 was expended for repairs to the Smithfield hospital, that $13,623.99 was exended for maintenance of the hospital farm, and that the amount received from the sale of hospital farm products was $11,685.66. There was $58,455.63 collected as delinquent taxes in 1919. Delinquent tax collections in previous years were: 1912, $16,977.87; 1913, $17,742.28; 1914, $22,400.33; 1915. $26,741.66; 1916. $29,924.03; 1917, $42,965.35; 1918, $57,610.33. The auditor lists the total assessed valuation of property in Wayne county for the year 1920 at $91,082,709. as against $93,641,438 in 1919. The auditor concludes his report with the statement that the county's budget for 1921 will total $455,980.50 as against the current budget of $393,060.14, .... r-K-'.' . . . MILTON BANK REPORT IS NOT DONE; JUDGE PLACES IT ON FILE Stating that the report he received Thursday from Claude Kitterman, receiver for the Farmers Bank, of Milton , Ind., was not sufficiently specific and complete, Judge William A. Bond has ordered the document placed on file. The report submitted by Mr. Kitterman practically contained nothing except an inventory of the assets of the Farmers Bank. Judge Bond expressed satisfaction with the way the receivership of the bank was being conducted and expressed the opinion that it would be some time before the receiver would. be able to submit a report on the liabilities of the institution. No Publicity "Undesirable." One of the attorneys representing the receiver, made the statement Thursday at the time of the filing of the receiver's preliminary report that the work of investigating the affairs of the Institution had been embarrassed somewhat by "undesirable publicity. ' Judge Bond made it plain Friday that he does not share the view of this attorney. "In my opinion," he said, "there has been nothing published in connection with the affairs of the Milton bank to which exceptions could be taken. "The failure of this bank was an event which greatly effected the public it served, and that public is entitled to any legitimate information concerning the affairs of the bank that the press can secure. Incidents like the failure of the Milton bank cannot be hushed up, and should not be expected to be." No Grand Jury Call In connection with a report that certain matters concerning the failure of the Farmers' bank were to be submitted to the grand jury. Judge Bond stated that up to this time he had received no information which would warrant him in calling the grand jury into session. Judge Bond stated that with the convening of the October session of the circuit court the grand jury would meet. He said he did not know whether the grand jury would be asked to investigate any of the bank'3 affairs at that time.

WOMEN BREAK INTO POLITICS WITH BANG, WHEN THEY ADDRESS STREET MEETINGS

That a new political era has dawned was realized by the crowds that attended 10 ward street meetings, held Thursday evening under the auspices of the Republican county central committee, when addresses were delivered by several women. There were men speakers, but it was the unusual spectacle of women standing in automobiles parked on street corners discussing the political issues of the day that caught the fancy of the crowds, which gave them respectful attention and cordial applause. The fact that many of those who attended the ward meetings were women was a matter of general comment. Sees Republican Victory.

Pedro Zamora, the Jalisco bandit, has threatenrt tn cvriit W A fSandvl flnrdinpr. an American citizen and W. B. John-! son, a British subject, who were kidnapped by Zamora's band at Cuale on Aug. 20. This information has been given government authorities by deserting members of the Zamora forces who ! say that the threat to kill the two captives may be put into execution if the men are not ransomed immediately, according to despatches received from military headquarters at Guadalajara. It is reported Zamora has refused to answer communications from the government, presumably relative to the release of the two prisoners, and it is said he has increased the amount of ransom required. The Esperanza Mining company, which employed Gardiner at Guale, is holding the ransom money ready, upon advice of the United States consul here, but it is declared it has not been able to communicate with the outlaw. - Government is Working. The government is exerting every effort to secure the release of the two men without paying ransom, which of-; ficials say, might encourage every potential bandit chief to enter the business of capturing and holding foreigners until paid large amounts. Federal troops are said to be close behind Zamora, who is reported to have sought refuge near the El Panal mountains in Western Jalisco. MEXICO CITY, Sept. 3. Provisional president De La Huerta has rejected demands by the leaders of the National Republican party that he continue in office and ignore the result of the election to be held on Sept 5.

Will Give Their Reasons. It will set forth the reasons whj the award they were pledged to accept is not satisfactory. It will be along the lines of the statement made to the operators yesterday. The mine owners yesterday declined to receive newtwage demands, asserting that they had no power to do so and were authorized only to sign the contract based on the award of the commission. In asking the president or the secretary of labor to reopen the negotiations, the anthracite men are following the proceedure used in the soft coal fields after the bituminous commission made its award. In that case the president consented to the reopening on condition that soft coal miners then on strike, first returned to work. Collieries Still Idle. Many collieries throughout the anthracite regions were still idle today due to workers remaining away from the operations as a protest against the terms of the award.

UNDER WATER FOR 42 HOURS, MEN RESCUED Under-Sea Telephone Saves Lives of Crew of Navy Submarine S-5 Developed During World War. CALLED SHIP TO AID

(By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 3. The sub marine S-5. which was partially flooded while making a dive 55 miles southeast of Cape Henlopen, is being towed toward the Delaware breakwater bv the steamer Alanthus. The crew and officers of the submarine are saf aboard the steamer. Radio messages flashed from tho army transport. General Goethals. to the Philadelphia navy yard via Cars may. iom or tne rescue of the men after they had spent nearly two das locked in the disabled vessel beneath the Atlantic ocean 55 miles south of cape Henlopen. It was after 3 o'clock this morning when Lieutenant Commander C. M. Cook, who exercised his prerogative of being the last man o leave his vessel, was taken abord the steamship Atlantus. Nine Hours Had Elapsed. Nine hours had elapsed since the plight of the undersea boat had been made public through a wireless call picked up by an amateur operator in Farmington, Conn. It was a small buoy, a development of the world war. together with' the vigilant eye of a lookout on the bridge of the transport General Goethals, that gave the 30 men on the submarine S-5 their chance for life. This small buoy with a bell and a buzzer device that can be operated when the boat is submerged, is part of the equipment of all later types of submarines. It was cut loose when the S-5 went down. The lookout on the General Goethal saw it, being attracted by its bell, as well as the fact that it was not noted on the chart. Voice From Ocean Floor. A small boat, with an officer in command, ws lowered from the transport to investigate. When the buoy wa reached the buzzer device could be heard. The officer cut into the connection and quickly there came this message: "The submarine S-5 has been submerged for 30 hours. Air is running Ehort. Machinery is damaged, Send for help. . This plea was sent broadcast by the wireless of the General Goethal. Among those who responded was the steamer Alanthus. which with th-i army transport, stood by the sumbersed vessel and managed to attach grappling hooka to its stern. Pumps Air into Boat. Holding the submarine in a vertical position, a hole was bored through her plates and air pumped through to the suffering men who had almost given up all hope of rescue. In the meantime the call for help had been picked up by the navy wireless station and by command of Secretary Daniels, destroyers were rushed to the rescue from Philadelphi, Newport News and New York. Before all these vqpsels had hal time to reach the scene, however, word was flashed that all the crew had been taken aboard the steamer Alanthus. The wireless did not tell how the rescue had been effected, or what vessels besides the Alanthus and General Goethals, If any, had assisted. None had been Injured although all bad suffered for lack of air. It wan one o'clock when the first man was taken off the submagne and more than two hours later before Commander Cook left his vessel. NEW YORK, Sept. 3. The rescued officers and men of the United States submarine S-5, who were submerged for more than 42 hours in their crippled submarine off Cape Henlopen, owe their lives to a hitherto little tested safety device the telephone buoy, developed during the world war. The steamer General George W. Goethals, plowing along her course off the Cape yesterday, caught the insistent clanger of a huge gun. Sighted a buoy where the mariners' charts showed no buoy ought to be; drew closer, and observed that there was a telephone on the mysterious buoy. A few moments later the Goethals had a boat over side and this message came up from the deep: "The submarine S-5 has been sobmerged for 35 hours. Air is running short. Machinery damaged. Send for help." Flashes News to Shore. The Goethals wireless flashed the news ashore and within a short time fleet dest rowers and other navy craft were rushing to the rescue. The Goethals, in the meantime, got a line about the stern of the S-5 and drawing It to the surface drilled a small hole through the metal hull through which air was pumped to the suffocating men until the rescuers arrived. Yesterday's use of the telephone buoy is said to have been the first critical test to which the apparatus has been put since its development less than three years ago. It has been placed on only a few of the newest submarines, and many naval officers were ignorant even of its existence, until its dramatic entry as the savior of the S-5'3 crew. An officer attached to the submarine base at New London, Conn., explained the operation of the telephone buoy to The Associated Press today. The buoy with, its telephonic and signaling equipment, he said. Is attached to the hull of the submarine In such a manner that it may be releas ed by an electric control from within.. When the buoy is released and rises to tbe surface, the gong, capable of being heard for a mile, goes into operation. The buoy also Is equipped with electric lights, giving it even greater signalling power in darkness. (Continued on Page Twelve) s.
