DEMOCRATS JUGGLE FIGURES, SAYS G. 0. P. Tariff on Rubber Not Up 150 Per Cent, as Davis Charged, De- clares Committee. Misuse of percentage calculations in comparing the Democratic and Ford- ney-McCumber tariff laws by Demo- cratic party spokesmen. is claimed by the Republican National Committee in a statement issued last night. As an instance. the statement re- calls that John W. Davis, the Demo- cratic presidential candidate, tn his speech at Seagirt, N. J. August 22, declared that in the present tariff law the duty on rubber footwear was rals- ed 150 per cent. “Apparently what Mr. Davis, or his advisers did,” the statement said, was to subtract from the Republican duty, which is 25 per cent, the Demo- cratic duty, which was 10 per cent, and divide the difference, 15 per cent, by the 10 per cent, thus arriving at per cent as the duty increase on the goods. It is not. It is the in- crease on the Democratic percentage. “The layman naturally concludes the present duty on rubber footwear is per cent plus. instead of the actual 25 per cent. This is the use of percentage of percentages, instead of percentages of value.” BLACK HILLS FREAK MINE PRODUCES 68 MINERALS One of Largest Crystals of Beryl Ever Found in That Section Is of Special Interest. Special Dispateh to The Star, SIOUX FALLS, S. D., October 11.— Perhaps the greatest freak mine of the United States is the Ingersoll mine, in the Keystone district of the Black Hills, from which 68 different minerals have been taken. The mine formerly was owned by the Harney Peak Tin Mining Company. The minerals were classified by at- taches of the South Dakota School of Mines and by mineralogists who have inspected the Ingersoll and other mines of the Keystone district, In addition to amblygonite, one of the rare minerals, which is among the commercial ores, the Ingersoll con- tains a good deposit of beryl. As a matter of fact, one of the largest crystals of beryl ever found in the Black Hills was discovered in this mine, and the crystal is one of the attractions for mining students and mining men. Extcnsive uses for beryl have been found Numerous other minerals with unique names have been found in the Ingersoll mine. The price commanded by amblygonite is $60 a ton. Lepido- lite varies according to quantity shipped. Beryl is held at present at between $50 and $60 the ton. e TURKS DENY RAIDS. Claim No Incursions Made Into Mosul Vilayet.

Husband Held on Breach of Prom- ise Judgment, as Guests Wait. Special Dispatch to The Star, NEW YORK, October 11.—After cpending a night in a cell instead of celebrating his fifth wedding anni- versary at home, as he planned, John R. Dewar was released from Raymond street jail, Brooklyn, pending the final result of his failure to keep a promise to marry, made ten years ago. Last October Miss Marie R. Slagel was awarded a $10,000 judgment against Dewar in a suit charging breach of promise to marry her in 1914, when each was 17 years old. Friday he was arrested on a charge of fallure to pay the judgment, plus $161.65 interest. His wife, who, until 1919, was Miss Anna Blenderman, learned of his arrest and imprison- ment, after waiting vainly that eve- ning for her husband to join her and friends at a dinner party in their home in honor of their anniversary. Dewar inherited about $10,000 upon becoming of age, six years ago. Miss Slagel, who charged the en- Fagement was made in 1914, when she and Dewar were attending Perklomen Seminary at Pensburg, Pa., testified at the trial of the damage sult that she had been earning her living on the stage. —_— AUTO INJURES SEVEN.

Y., October 11.— Seven persons were injured tonight, some seriously, when an automobile, which was being cranked, leaped from the curb upon the sidewalk and ran into a crowd of pedestrians. The ac- cident occurred in the heart of the business section. The injured were hurried to hospitals. Joseph Verillo, owner of the car, was taken to police headquarters and held until the condition of those in- jured could be definitely ascertained. Antonio Degarlo, one of the injured, was reported to be in a critical con- dition with six ribs broken and in- dications of internal injuries. Mrs. B. A.

BRITISH PARTIES LAUNCH CAMPAIGN Manifestos Issued Indicate Fight Will Be Made Largely on Home Affairs. Octeber 11.—The three big parties have lost time in placing their platforms before the clectorate. Three election manitestos are out to- night. The Labor manifesto i signed, among others, by Ramsay MacDopald, John Robert Clynes, Robert Smilie, George Lansbury and Arthur Henderson The Conservative manifesto s} slgned by Stanley Haldwin, and the Liberal by B H. Asquith and Mr. Llovd-George. The first noticeable feature, which | undoubtedly is an outgrowth of the new experience of the country in baving had a labor administration for the first time, is the small part now played in the election literature by foreign affairs and the defense ques- tlon. These are searcely mentioned in the Labor manifesto. apart from the Russian treaties and a brief par- agraph claiming credit the im-| proved relations with nce and| Germany, and noting the important steps taken at Geneva toward arbi- tration, security and general disar-| mament. In the Liberal document allusions are equally scanty, but in the Con- servative manifesto, fellowing tho Tory tradition, the empire and for- cign relations are given greater at- tention, but still are overshadowed by social and economic questiens. In reference to foreign affairs Mr. Bald- win pronounces his party for ‘“co- operation in all matters admitting of common action with the United tates” for the support and strength- ening of the League of Nations on practical lines. « r Charges Navy Nexlect. With regard to defense, he says that the Unionists, if returned to power, will have to “examine afresh the position in which the defenses of the empire have been left by the present administration” and, while favoring any practical proposals for | the general limitation of armaments, must “scrutinize carefully, in con- junction with the dominions, the far- reaching commitments and implica- tions of the scheme recently put for- | ward at Geneva." None of the manifestas touches upon any such questions as Egypt or Irak The competition between the three parties is clearly on the ground of so- cial and economic reforms and on these alone. After the result of the general election a year ago it is no surprising to find that the question | of free trade versus protection has also almost vanished from the picture It is true that the Liberal document pronounces unshakably for free trade, but the Labor manifesto does not mention the subject. Mr. Baldwin admits that the last election settled the question, but he still advocates a safeguarding Industries act which the Labor administration abolished and supports measures of imperial pref- erence, which, he declares, “we shall steadily keep to the front. No Slogan Produced. | A noteworthy point is that while the Liberals charge Labor with the entire responsibility for the projec- tion of the election, the Labor meni- festo declares that the government was defeated by a partisan combina- tion of Liberals and Torles. Moreover, as was foreseen, there Is no great na- tional question or election slogan forthcoming. All three manifestos concentrate on virtually the same social program. The Labor manifesto deals largely with reforms already achieved, or those which were contemplated, but which Labor was prevented from carrying out by the refusal of the Liberals to support them. Housing, education, pensions, remedial meas- ures against unemployment and for bottering the condition of women and children, abolition of the slums and similar subjects occupy a big space in all the manifestos. The Liberals strongly emphasize the need of dealing with coal mining and the power question, and would authorize the state to acquire all mineral rights and provide state as- sistance in the construction of super- power statiors for generating elec- tricity. Political gossip says, although it is not mentioned in the manifesto, that Mr. Lloyd-George is espacially strong on this subject, having recently pub- lished an important pamphlet on it. Liquor Question Up. The Labor manifesto advocates re- organization of the whole mining in- dustry on the lines of national own- ership. - The Liberals contend that the excessive consumption of alcohal ought to be dealt with on bold and democratic lines. On this question labor urges a full and impartial in- quiry by a royal commission, which, it says, the government had arranged to begin next spring. With an eye to the women’s votes, Mr. Baldwin sets forth a plank for a royal commission to inquire into the high cost of foodstuffs. The liberals favor re-establishment of economic and commercial relation with Russia, but oppose Great Brxluin'! guarantee- loan to Russia. 1o lapor manifosto, alluding to the general pacification of Europe ac- complished under the labor regime, “refuses to exclude from this pacifi- cation the Russian people, with whom it is essential to resume our trade in the Interests of the unemployed and the country as a whole.” Clalm Tax Reduction. Labor olalms great credit for the Goysrnment’s financial policy, de- claring that its budgets swept away £30,000,000 annually of taxes on tha‘ people’s f0od, and the manifesto asks: “Is it not because liberals and union- ists fear the second labor budget that an excuse has been found for giving the labor government no further chance? On the question of unemployment it declares that the labor slogan still is: “Work or maintenance 1ines labors’ accomplishments and in- tentions. For dealing with that evil it advocates the taxation of land values and the prevention of exces- sive hours of labor. It concludes: “The path to our goal is long and narrow, sometimes so hard that men and women faint by the way. But, we have faith in humanity; we refuse to belleve that there is nothing to be done but conserve the present order which is disorder, or that the misery, demoralization and ruin that it causes to innocent men, women and children can be reqedled by the perpetual repetition of 'the abstract principles of individualism. “We appeal to the people to sup- port us in our steadfast march toward a really soclalist commonwealth in which there shall at least be an op- portunity for good will to conquer hate and strife, and for brotherhood, if not to supersede greed, at least to set due bounds to that competition which leads only to loss and death.” Reaction. ¥iom Londen Answers.

RAISE $1,200 REWARD THEY’RE STILL PLAYING SERIES AND WILL BE ALL WINTER LONG FOR GIRLS’ ASSAILANT| State of Virginia Helps Fund Of- fered for Capture and Con- viction of Negro. By the Associnted Presa. RICHMOND, Va. October 11.— Twelve hundred dollars of a pro- posed $1.400 reward for the capture and conviction of the negro man who attacked two Westhampton College Kirls on a roadway back of the school campus Yester fternoon, has al- ready been posted, and it is expected that the remalning $200 will be sub- scribed tomorrow, President F. W, Boatwright of the University of Richmond announced tonight. One thousand dollars of the reward had been offered by the school and Gov. Trinkle told Dr. Boatwright and A. W. Patterson, chairman of the board of trustees, today that the State of Virginia would add $200 to that amount. At a special meeting to- morrow the board of supervisors of Henrico County are to take the matter up and Commonwealth's At- torney W. W. Beverley, said tonight that he felt confident that they would subscribe $200 to the reward fund. The two young women are receiv- ing medical attention at the univer- ity infirmary, where they are slowly recovering from the nervous collapse which followed their experience. Both are :aid to have been struck in the face by their assailant, while one was cut with a knife. Doctors say, how- ever, that no resultant scars will remain. One negro is already under arrest and is being held in jail until the condition of the two girls is such that he can be brought before them for identification. Officers, however, have not discontinued their search. Sup- plicd with an incomplete description of the man, they are continuing their hunt in an effort to apprehend the perpetrator of one of the most daring attacks known to local authorities. CALL LAST MEETING. Members of the Anthony League, who retently formed the Susan B.

The two grinned sheepishly. “How did you know it?” Never mind,” was “they’re all doing it.” Throughout the Government de- partments folks wore the “smile that won't come off,” with the exception of those rabid fanz who couldn't stop playing the game. “Well, 1 slept from 2 to 4:30 this morning,” this heaved with a deep but whole-hearted and self-satisfied sigh of pride, from one rabid fan, who by the way is in normal times, among the calmest and most collected of men. “The rest of the time I .was playing that game over again.” Radio Helped Shut-Ins, Odds and ends of radio sets could be seen in all parts of curious places downtown, on windowsills, in closets and around desk corners—where they had performed valiant service to those shut-ins who were sacrificed to the great god of business, or of the “cant-get-away” bug.

CHICAGO, October 11.—Ending up the first week of a monih's stumping tour with an address here tonight, Senator Robert M. La Kollette, in- dependent presidential candidate, predicted, apparently with inercased confidence, that he will win a clear- cut victory in the November eléction “The people of America are arous- ed," he declared. “During the last six days 1 have spoken in six states. I have seen the people of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersoy, Michigan, Ohio and Illinois. Everywhere it is the same story. The people are flocking to the progressive standard. | In all my public life I have seen no such demonstrations of enthusiasm. “They are coming to our support. They are in revolt against the de- cadence and corruption of the two old parties. But that is not the cause of their enthusiasm. It is far deeper They see in the progressive move- ment a new hope.

It will be settled by the people of the United States at the polls on the fourth day of November. On that day they will, I am confident, elect the progre ticket by a substamtial majority. Speaks Ia Armory. The Wisconsin senator spoke tonight | in the 35th street armory, packed to | the doors by the largest crowd he has faced since starting on his present trip. His speech was mainly a summing up of points emphasized | by him earlier in the week, and as| he directed thrusts at both the old parties, relterating that both are| dominated by “private monopoly,” | the audience voiced its approval by prolonged cheers. | The meeting came after the most| stirring day the candidate has spent. | Arriving early in the morning from Cincinnati he found thousands of his| | supPorters awaiting him at the sta- | |tion. Through downtown streets he, was escorted to his campaign head- | quarters behind a detail of mounted police. Following him were admirers, afoot and in automobiles. System Rules America. After tracing the development of the manopoly system in the United States, Senator La Follette, in his speech declared: “Its tools are the raffroads, the banks and the trusts. Today this tem rules America. Jt declares other independent factories shall ibe opened or closed. It determines, as was shown fn 1920, whether men who work with their hands may organize for their own protection. It dtermines whether men shall be permitted to work at all. “The open shop drive from 1320 to 1922 was directed from Wall street. its purpose was to crush the trade | union movement and take from labor the small gains it had made during the war. In this conspiracy the finan- cial oligarchy had at its command the injunction judges. It had at its serv- ice the Department of Justice. It even made use of the Army of Amer- ica, whose boys were enlisted—not to destroy, but to preserve the liberties of these United States. Pewer of Bankers. “The international bankers have become the supreme power in this economic oligarchy. Two hundred and fifty thousand miles of railways, with approximately twenty billions of capitalization, have passed under the dominfon of the banking syndi- cates of Wall street. The natural re- sources of the Nation—coal, iron and oil—are subject to the same control. Great {nsurance companies, which gather in the dollars of the people, have become the private property of these banking agencies. Trust after trust and monopoly after monopoly has fallen under their power. ¢ * ¢ “The Progressives are fighting to restore Government to the broad basis of the popular will. We are determined to break the power of private monopoly. We shall end its despotic control. Should Preserve Freedom. “We Progressives believe that the power of the Government should be used to preserve freedom, not to crush it. We are opposed to the use of the injunction in labor dis- putes. We denounce the perversion of the power of punishment for con- tempt of court as a means of de- priving men of their constitutional right to trial by jury. “When I am elected President of the United States there will be no Palmer or Daugherty _injunctions. The Federal troops will be restricted to their legitimate functions and not be degraded to the position of strike- breakers. “The organization of labor, like the organization of farmers and all other classes of citizens, for mutual benefit and legitimate purposes, will be en- couraged &s one of the means of creating through the power of asso- ciation agencies which can deal on something like equal ground with the enormous aggregations of capital” Equality Before Law. Declaring there had been a de- struction of equality before the law,” Senator La Follette declared “legisla- tion was needed “making it a crime for any individual, whether an of- ficial or a private citizen, or for any organization to interfere with the exercise of the rights of free speech, free press and freedom of assembly.” “I believe that all thorough Ameri- cans will join with me in this de- mand,” he continued. “The preserva- tion of these fundamental rights de- pends upon the maintenance of genu- ine representative government. The people themselves, through their elected representatives, must guard their libertles. No one else will ect them. pr‘o":‘odny we hear on every side that the courts are the defenders of the liberties of the peopl—that without thir benign protection constitutional rights would cease to exist. No i telligent citizen believes this asser- tion. I know that there are many judges who have rendered signal services in asserting the sanctity of human rights. But I know also that in recent years our courts have more and more exalted the rights of prop- «rty above the rights of man. ¢ ¢ » “I ofter this challenge to all those who regard judges as the sole de- fenders of our liberties: Show me one case in which the courts have protected human rights and I will show you 20 in which they have dis- regarded human rights ta protect operty.” & grgywau hisses and b at the mention of “Mark na,” “the De- partment of Justice,” “the Injunction Sudges” and “Wall street.” * Referring. to prohibition for the fizs, timg sincg be set oyt on an ing from It can is sweeping and Re- defeated. i | bined efforts of the | when an | tives | which are unw: WASHINGTON MW DES UNDER AUTO Burned to Death When Car Overturns Near Savage Two Injured.

Sticking consistently to his pre- pared text, except for a few brief in- terpellations, Mr. La Follette summed up the points made by him in previ- ous campaign speeches this week. Time and again he was forced to sus- Ppend until cheering died down. In an hour's address he made no di- rect reference to either of his oppo- nents, or to Charles G. Dawes, the Republican vice presidential nominee who lives in a suburb of Chicago, The audience cheered wildly for several minutes when Senator La Follette entered the armory. He was introduced by Jane Addams, chair- man of the meeting. The candidate lost no time In plung- ing into his prepared address. A declaration that “the common people are rising as in ‘61 for a new declaration of independence” brought on a prolonged wave of cheering, as did a statement that “corruption and greed have penetrated even to the doors of the White House.” At the point the Senator departed from his manuseript to compliment the newspaper men who are accom- panying him on his tour, declaring they were reporting his addresses with generosity and “exceeding fair- ness.” Then he said: “At one time my name was not per- mitted to appear in the public prints. That was not the fault of the re- porter—the orders came from away back. But a new day has come. I speak for the millions who will cast their ballots in November.” A wave of applause at this state ment grew into a storm of cheers, the crowd rising as it gave vent to its feelings.
