The State com- mittee is sending out handsomely illustrated biographies of President Cool- idge, together with some of his speeches, the nominating speech in Cleveland by Marion Leroy Butler, a speech by Kepresentative Wood of Indiana of the Republican congressional cam- paign committee on national issues, and in every way seeking to ac- centuate the national aspect of the State campaign. Judges Charles 1. Donahue, at Democratic State headquarters, to- day said: “The Republicans are try- ing to camouflage the campaign. They claim that a vote for Brewster is a vote for Coolidge, and are trying to use Coolidge’s cloak to cover their own candidate for governor. We are making the fight on the straight is- sue of whether Maine is to be dom- i d by the Ku Kilux Klan. e will not claim that a vote for Pattangall is necessarily a vote for Davis. We are separated from the national election by practically two months. The advice of the Repub- lican managers to Republican voters is to hold their noses and vote the Republican State ticket for the good of the party.” Democrats Hammer Brewster. “The Democratic State committes is hammering away at Brewster, the. Republican candidate for govermor, trying to force from him a declara- tion of his stand on the Ku Klux Klan.

Automobiles and Bootlegging Uncle Sam’s The were automobile and bootlegger blamed for one more brand of trouble today, when it was learned that they are believed partly respon- sible for the Treasury’s new policy of trying to substitute the old-fashioned silver dollar “cartwheel” for the crisp one-dollar bill, 1t's the dirt.

Because of this fact and because it 19 known to all men that up to date Senator Brewster stands in the public eye as the Klan candidate for governor, we have asked him a sim- ple and pertinent question, which, in justice to himself and the public, he Should answer. We repeat it. ‘Do you believe that the Ku Klux Klan fills a useful place in the life of Maine? “The Senator’s views on that mat- ter are of interest. He undoubtedly has an opinion on the subject. He has been in the confidence of the leaders of the organization ever since its support was fir: tendered to him He knows its policies, its principles, its political philosophy.

LOOK TO REICHSTAG. BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER. Dy Radio to The Star and ago Daily Newx. Copyright, 1924, BERLIN, August 19.—The Reich- stag probably will be called Thurs- day to begin discussion of the laws rmany must pass to make the Lon- | don settlement effective and to enable ! the Dawes plan to operate, hence the question, “what will the Reichstag do?” is on the lips of every one The Geramn government has done everything in its power to prepare the ground for smooth legislati It accepted the counsel of the delega- tion to London advising acceptance. It convened the party leaders who— .even those not in the government— advised acceptance. Now It is plac- ing the acceptance plan before a committee of jurists to advise If it is necessary to have a two-thirds majority, since the treaty of Versall- les provides for plurality passage of laws necessitated by the treaty. The news that the French are show- inis their good will by evacuating Ap- penweir, an important railroad cen- ter, and aro preparing to evacuate the * Dortmund region in occupled Westphalia, is strengthening the hand of the Berlin government greatly. Appenweir commafids the main line from Holland to Switzer- land. Dortmund Is the advance point of the French occupation beyond the Ruhr into Westphalia. 1t is the home of one of the largest Stinnes works. Opposition is expected from Na- tionalists, headed by Ludendorft and Von Tirpitz. The former has just conducted a military review, iron- d at Weimar, the home of : German constitution. There was 1scist troops in uniform peeches were made denouncing the Marx government and prolongation of Rubr occupation. However, not much opposition is expected, since Ludendorff seems to be strong on words but disinclined to do anything wxeept beat drum Hence Germany awaits without trepidation the Reichstag meeting. Anyway. German laws and traditions permit the dissolution of the Reichs- tag if it is stubborn, and this would mean new elections, with new gains for the middle parties, since the cause of peace is gaining ground. REPORTS IN BRUSSELS. By the Associated Press, ¥ BRUSSELS, August 19.—Premier Theunis vesterday made a detailed report to King Albert on the: inter- national conference in London, whereupon, the monarch abandoned his intention to preside at the next cabinet meeting, at which M. Theu- nis will make his official report on the accord concluded during the London negotiations. The king left during the evening with Crown Prince Leopold for a trip the Alps. They will return at end of the mont d and three out of their four ives in the House. Only one district, the Lewiston district, is regarded as doubtful. In the days of Nelson W. Dingley and Charles D. Littlefield this district was an impreg- nable Republican stronghold. It was carried by McGillicuddy in a of campaigns. The Democrati didate this year is Bertrand G. Intyre of Norway, Me. The Ku Klux Klan issue will be acute in that dis- trict. The Republican leaders feel that while they have a fight before them they will carry the State ticket on the national issue, getting their ma- jority from the normal Republican majority existing in the State, as shown by previous national, senatorial and congresslonal elections.

S Left $205,000 to Husband. Mrs. Mors left an estate of $125,000 and $80,000 in life insurance to her husband, it was revealed here today by Mors’ lawyers and the district at- torney’s office. Another development was the an- nouncement by Mors' attorneys that $5,000 worth of jewelry, composed of a black pearl, a brooch and a dla- mond and sapphire-studded watch, had been stolen from Mrs. Mors the night she died. They demanded that the district attorney investigate the disappearance. The will of Mrs. Mors bequeathing everything to her “beloved husband” was drawn in New York, August 4, 1921. One df the witnesscs who sign- ed it was Mrs. Schapp. The police abandoned search for a moving picture actor, or pugilist, to whom McCoy was reported having confessed early Wednesday that he killed Mrs. Mors. This man, named in_an anonymous telephone call to police headquarters by a woman's voice as Dick Summers, or Dick Som- mers, apparently is a myth, the police say. Mors was granted a special letter of administration by the - superior court, under which he may reopen the antique shop of Mors, Inc, by posting a $25,000 bond pending the probate of Mrs. Mors' will.

Among the newspaper stories dealing with_the ¢ in which he figures, the Kid today found one appearing under his own signature, a modest essay of some 300 words in which Mrs. Mors was not mentioned. His ultimate intention, he an- nounced, several days ago, Is to com- pile a comprehensive autobiography, a task for which he explained he “never had any time until now.” The much married former pugilist was shoved off newspaper first pages for an edition or two yesterday for his eighth wife, Dagmar Dalgren, actress and dancer, who, police say, staged a disturbance on the front porch of apartment house where the Mors shooting took place, breaking a pane of glass and upsetting a few potted plants. Four policemen who responded to the emergency call sent in by fright- ened apartment dwellers, stopped the rumpus but made no arrest, explain- ing that the outbreak wi largely a dis ay of temperament. That insanity will not be the sole prop of McCoy's defense was indi- cuated in the announcement by his attorneys that they had found three witnesses prepared to testify that Mrs. Mors talked of committing suicide shortly before the night she met her death. Funeral arrangements for Mrs. Mors still waited on instructions from her parents in New York. -— The little girl expects no declara- tion of tenderness from her doll. She loves it, and that is all.

Y., August 19.—James McVickar, wealthy oil ' man, and his wife, who was the widow of Willlam Disston, Philadelphia. saw manufac- turer, remain married today by decree of Supreme Court Justice Tompkins, who wrote the concluding chapter of their involved divorce proceedings. Justice Tompkine, in a decision in which he accused the McVickars of having acted in collusion to obtain Mrs. McVickar's divorce, which she later caused to be invalidated, today denied the oil man’s petition to again validate the decree. Mrs. McVickar, whose widowhood brought her a fortune of $7,500,000, was secretly married to the oil man in Jersey City in December, 1922. It was not long after that their friends in New York and Philadelphia society learned that Mrs. McVickar had taken up quarters at the St. Regis Hotel, and that her husband was making his home at one of the many clubs to which he belongs. She filed a divorce action here last April 27, an unnamed corespondent figuring in the papers.
