- 9 % BROOKHART T0 SEE LAFOLLETTE TODAY Will Trave! Briefty With Can- didate—Fights. Mark Talk in St. Louis. By the Assoclated Press. LA FOLLETTE SPECIAL, EN ROUTE TO DES MOINES, IOWA; MEXICO, MO., October 15.—Senator Robert M. La Follette, independent candidate for ¥resident, after two campaign speeches in Missouri, today was on his way to Des Moines, Jowa. After an address there tonight, con- tinuing his efforts to win votes in this agricultural regton, he will go to Minneapolis for a speech tomorrow night. Then he will invade South Dakota for a speéch Friday night in Sioux Falls. As Mr. La Follette sped toward Des Moines, it was announced he was expected to have Senator Smith Brookhart of Towa aboard his special car today, for an hour or two. Ar- rangements had been made, it was said, for Mr. Brookhart, who is run- ning for re-election as a Republican, to board the train at Moulton, Iowa, and ride to Albia. While the Iowa Senator has assalled both President Coolidge and his running mate, Charles G. Dawes, he has not publicly indorsed Mr. La Follette's candidacy. Barred From College. It was announced that Phillip La Follette, son of the Senator, would make a campaign address on the campus of the lowa Agricultural College at Ames late today. It was declared that Dr. R. A. Pearson, president of the institution, had re- fused to permit him to speak in a college building, but that arrange- ments had been made by a committee of students to have the Senator’s son deliver a speech from an outdoor platform, erected for that purpose. During his address at St. Louis last night Senator La Follette charg- ed that the radio station at Des Molnes, which, he said, is owned by the Bhnkers Life Insurance Company of that city, had declined to broad- cast his speech tonight, although, he declared, such privileges had been accorded other candidat He criticized the foreign policies of Woodrow Wilson, and of the Hard- ing-Coolidge administration. Fights ark Speech. Mr. La Follette's St. Louls meeting became a bit stormy near the end of his address, when a group of men and boys seated in the gallery back of the platform began to “boo.” Sup- porters of the Senator, however, drowned out the derisive cries with cheers, but the candi e found it 80 difficult to proceed, that he finally ! asserted that {f he had time, he would go up into the gallery and put a stop to the disorder. Those who caused the disturbance were ejected as the Senator was winding up his spegeh, but not until there had been several fist fights. Semator La Follette was in excel- Tent spirits today and apparently had dismissed the incident from his mind. He told his friends that, aside from a “few hoodlums,” his audience in St. Louis was one of the friendliest of his campaign tour. HITS OLD PARTIES. Senator Says Bankers Dictate United States Policies. ST. LOUIS, Mo., October 15—Sen- ator Robert La Follette, discussing foreign relations here last night, de- clared that “the complete abandon- ment of the true American foreign policy came under the administration of Woodrow Wilson and has been continued and expanded under the present Harding-Coolidge adminis- tratio; . “It is true,” the Wisconsin Senator said, “that our departure from the traditional American policy began with the development of imperialism under William McKinley, following the Spanish-American War. The breach was broadened under Roose- velt and Taft.” Speaking in hte collseum where Woodrow Wilson was renominated for the presidency in 1916, Senator La Follette told his audience that Wilson was elected as an anti-im- perialist and did, in fact, do much during the first two years of his administration to check the tendency toward imperialism by using his in- fluence for Philippine independence, by curbing the extension of the dol- Jar diplomacy and by his attitude toward the Mexican revolution. “When war was declared in Eu- rope in the Summer of 1914," contin- ued Mr. La Follette, “President Wil- son declared for absolute neutrality— neutrality In thought, word and deed. This was a true American policy. If this doctrine had been adhered to, we would never have been drawn into war. We would be free from every form of foreign entanglement. We would have avoided at home the direct consequences of the last few Years. Citex Cont of Wa Sixty thousand American boys would still be alive. We would have no colossal war debt. We would be free from our heavy burden of taxation. We would have no prob- lem of caring for hundreds of thou- sands of wounded, diseased and shell- shocked veterans. We would not have American agriculture prostrate and demanding speedy relief. “We would have no such concen- tration of wealth in the hands of a few. as we have witnessed in recent years. Above all, we should have proved our proud distinction of a Nation steadfastly devoted to peace. “Had the plain principle of inter- national law announced by Washing- ton and Jefferson - b followed we would not have been talled upon to declare war upon any of the belliger- ent nations of Europe. The fatal error_came in the failure of Wood- row Wilson to treat the belligerent nations of Europe alike—the failure to reject the unlawful ‘war zones’ of both Germany and Great Britain. Holds Wilson ‘Sincere. “I do not doubt that President Wilson was sincere when he declared for absolute neutrality. I know the influence which surrounded him and which, ‘day after day, month after month, brought the heaviest imagin- able pressure to induce him to aban- don his position of neutrality and throw the strength of the United States openly on the side of the allled governments.” Asgerting that the foreign policy of the United States at present is being ‘dictated and controlled by. the same forces which were responsible for the abandanment and withdrawal of American neutrality during the war,” Mr. La Follette continued: “It #& my opinion that the private #monopoly system was primarily re- sponsible for the abandonment of our traditional foreign policy; that this system forced us into the World 'War; that this system is now driving up at breakneck speed along the of imperialism that lead in- @vitadly to war and to the ending PL tree gvoernment at home as well. _Says Morgan Caused ‘War. *Y am convinced—I was convinced 4t the beginning that we abandoned . our policy of neutrality through the rinfluence of J. P. Morgan & Co., the w agent of the British Empire, the early Spring of 191 loose the :;nu and agencie: da to drive us into war. |Tokio Propag anda Against U. S. Stirs Americans in East By the Associated Press. MUKDEN, Manchuria, October 15.—American ‘officiala’ here, seri- ously concerned over what is termed “insidious” anti-American propaganda conducted by the Jap- anese press, are planning a protest to the Japanese foreign office. According to translations the Tairraku Nichi Nichl says. this morning: “Certainly America is secretly supplying arms to the Chihli (Pek- ing government) forces. One hun- dred’ and ninety thousand rifies have been furnished already de- spite existing treaties governing the importation of arms into China.” As a result, Americans in Muk- den are mistrusted. American nowspaper correspondents _are treated as spies. Even Capt. Nor- man Baldwin, official United States military observer, has not been granted permission to go to the battlefront. to Morgan, the senator explained, and these obligations could only be met if Germany was defeated. He scored the Versallles treaty, then continued: “The present Republican adminis- trat.on was elected upon a pledge to abandon the foreign policies of the preceding administration and restore America to the same paths which had previously been pursued, “This pledge has been completely repudiated. The same forces that controlled American policy when Lansing was Secretary of State, the same forces that plunged us into the World War, now dictate the policies of Secretary Hughes. “Secretary Hughes, in his direction of the foreign policy of the United States can and does serve two masters. He serves both Standard Oil and Morgan & Co, with constant fidelity.” In this connection the speaker as- sailed the arms conference pact. ‘WHEELER TURNS EAST. Leaves California to Stump Middle West. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, Calif,, October 15.— Senator Burton K. Wheeler, independ- ent vice presidential candidate, de- parted from California late yesterday after seven days in the State. His destination was El Paso, but his poli- tical committee managers were en- deavoring to effect an itinerary change that would enable him to speak at Albuquerque, N. Mex., before continuing into Texas. Today's campaign program = for Senator Wheeler has been left almost unfilled, with only a possible oppor- tunity for brief talks to station crowds from the platform of his train. After a single speaking engage- ment in El Paso the candidate’s itin- erary turns him northward, with Oklahoma, Kansas and Missourl as his next objectives. ELECTORS BARRED. Washington Rules Against Inde- pendent Progressives. OLYMPIA, Wash.,, October 15.—At the conclusion of a brief hearing here today the Washington Supreme Court issued a peremptory writ of mandate directed -at the secretary of state, ordering him to withdraw the certi- fication of the Independent Progressive party. ‘ In handing down its verbal decision the court announced that it sustained the findings of Superior Judge J. T. Ronald of King County that the In- dependent Progressive party did not hold a legal convention. This means only one set of candi- dates for presidential electors pledged to Senator La Follette will appear on the ballot in the November election in the State. RADICALISM DENIED. Villard Defends La Follette—Hits Coolidge and Davis. INDIANAPOLIS, October 15.—Deny- ing that the platform of the La Follette-Wheeler Independent party is radical in any particular and declaring that it sought only a re- turn to Government for general In- wrests, rather than speclal interests, Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the Nation, spoke in behalf of the candidacy of Senator La Follette here last night. Mr. Villard denounced President Coolidge, the Government ofl scandal, and what he termed the “Wall street connections” of John W. Davis, adding: “The question of this campaign is whether the people or the mighty forces of finance shall control the Government. “I will guarantee that the very entrance of Robert M. La Follette into the White House will.drive the money changers from the temple of our administrative life. I further guarantee that if La Follette is elected he will not enter into any forelgn war and conscript our sons to murder people abroad, or on this continent as we have done in recent years in Mexico, Haiti and Santo Domingo.” Concerning La Follette's advocacy of a constitutional amendment giving to Congress the right to overrule de- cisions of the Supreme Court, Mr. Villard declared that limitation of the power of the Supreme Court had been advocated by Abraham 'Lincoln and Theodare Roosevelt. ASEED TO CAROLINA. GREENSBORO, N. C., October 15.— There is a possibility that Senator Robert M. La Follette and Senator Burton K. Wheeler will speak in North Carolina, it was learned here. E. C. Faires, secretary of the In- dependent-Progressive party move- ment in this State, said that one or both may visit the State, although no definite decision has been made, C. P. Barringer, State chairman of the party, has invited both to deliver speeches. WILL BUILD ADDITION TO NEW WALKER HOTEL Recent Purchasers to Begin Imme- diate Construction to Wing to Cost $1,000,000. A 10-story addition to the new Hotel Walker, at the approximate cost of $1,000,000, will be begun fm- mediately by C. C. Mitchell Company, who purchased the uncompleted structure last month. Officials of the hotel declare that when com- pleted this new addition will increase the value of the fully equipped hotel to_about $10,000,000, The new addition faces on Con- necticut avenue and will contain 140 more guestrooms, increasing the bedroom capacity of the hotel from 1,019 rooms to 1,159 rooms.

It is also understood that a change in the name of the Hotel Walker is contemplated. It is expected that the sompleted hotel will be opened about January 1 or 15, THE - EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, AUTOIS DRAGGED INTROLLEY CRASH Vehicle Demolished and Driv- er Badly Hurt—Roller- Skater Injured. Struck and dragged 75 feet by a street car at Connecticut avenue and M street last night, an electric auto- mobile was demolished and the driver, Royal Hurt, colored, 26 years old, of 1917 Thirteerth street, seriously injured. Hurt was rushed to Emergency Hospital, and physi- clans today were endeavoring to de- termine if his ckull had been frac- tured. The automobile was the property of Mrs. E. H. Alsop of the Martinique Hotel, and Hurt was the chauffeur. According to witnesses, the street car, proceeding south on Connectfcut averue, crashed into the electric going west on M street. The street car was slightly damaged. Two men were in a speeding auto that collided with a horse-drawn vehicle of Richard Rollins, Camp Springs, Md., at Pennsylvania and North Carolina avenue _southeast early today, killing the horse and badly demaging the wagon. Rollins, who was on his way to market with a load of produce, escaped injury. Occupants of the automobile failed to stop. - Boy Is Hit.

Sherrill, officer in charge 3730 of ‘public buildings and grounds, de- | clared it “will be a somewhat spec- tacular event.” This pool is the small transverse pool located between Seventeenth street and the east end of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting basin. The display fountain is composed of 124 nozzles set in the water of the pool and following its elliptical de- sign. They throw a stream of water 25 feet in the air and toward the center of the pool. On_each side of the center is a cluster of nine noz- zles throwing a spray 40 feet high. HERRON TELLS AD CLUB EVENING STAR POLICY The policy of The Evening Star and The Sunday Star in Its efforts to in- sure reliable advertising to the public and to publish attractive copy for its advertising clients was outlined by Col. Leroy W. Herron, advertising manager of The Star, insan address before the Advertising Club of Wash- ington at the City Club yesterday afternoon.

He outlined the steps taken by The Star to keep its news and advertising columns re- liable, clean and attractive and point- ed to this policy as the greatest means of establishing the confidence of the public. Illustrations of various layouts and styles of type and illustrations as explanatory of the various rules laid down by The Star in their regard were displayed during Col. Herron's addres: Col. Herron concluded with a re- sume of the steps taken by The Star to insure the comfort and content- ment of its employes. LAUREL ENTRIES FOR THURSDAY. FIRST RACE—Claiming; $1,300; olds; 8 furlongs.

By the Associated Press, v LONDON, October 15—The fur has begun to fly in the British election campalgn, which is sure to be short and almost certain to be snappy. It may have been the dropping of the case against Editor Campbell of the Workers' Weekly on which the gov- ernment decided to accept defeat and g0 to the country, but it has already become plain that the thing the voters are going to hear most about from all sides in this campaign is the Anglo-Russian treaty The Torles are playing anti-bol- shevism for all it is worth. In two days they have placarded the coun- try with posters depicting bewhisker- ed bolsheviki, greedy for the money of the good old British voter; but Premier MacDonald apparently has realized as keenly as his opponents that the way to gain the interest of the British voter is to mention his pocketbook, and he, therefore, has been busy explaining that the con- templated loan of £40,000,000 to Rus- sla would be spent largely in pur- chasing machinery made in England. “British Money for the British,” a mock patroitic song, has become a popular part of a popular West End revue; but the Conservative campaign managers take the subject seriously. Their posters depict what the Col servative newspapers describe as “a brutal bolshevik with greed in his eyes,” and under the picture aré the words: “It’s your money he wants. The Socialists say he can have it. Vote Unionist Poetry Comes In. ¢ An unshaven Russian is the subject most of the party’s placards. One little campaign poem, however, reads: “Bolshevik, bolshevik, where have you been? “Over to England, where the reds are still green.” Another placard says: “Russia al- ready owes us £ Don't risk another £40,000,000, but vote Unionis: Countercartoons already are spring- ing up mocking those who would have a serious bolshevik scare. “The weather will be dreadful under com- munism,” says one of them, while another declares “the Communists will stab poor grandpa.” The Liberals had a blg pow-wow in London yesterday at which both former Premiers Asquith and Lloyd George spoke. They, too, emphasized hostility to the Russian treaty. Mr. Asquith declared the real cause of the Labor government's precipitate appeal to the country was not the Campbell case, but the Russian treaty. The treat he sald, was a document unique* in the annals of diplomacy for its “combinations of political reck- lessness, business incapacity and al- most infantile simplicity,” and, he added, Premier MacDonald was “the villain of the piece.” Speaking of the campaign orations {FAVORITES ADVANCE .

In one of his addresses he even went so far as to predict that the Labor party would reenter Parliament with a journey. The premier began the day at Glas- gow, and, touring in the same type of automobile, through the gift of which he gained so much publicity recently, he went to Edinburgh for lunch and then proceeded by stages to New Castle, where he addressed a large crowd tonight. He said the Liberals and Torfes, who he thought were as far “apart as satin and Gold,"” had “united under the white feather” against labor in the present cam- paign, “The Liberal party,” exclaimed Mr. MacDonald, “has gone under the ghelter of the Tory guns to pre- vent them from being hopelessly wiped out.” Believe MacDonald Knows. There scems to be increasing evi- dence today that Mr. MacDonald knows what he is talking about in saying the Liberals and Tories now are uniting against him and ' his party. The Liberals, for instance, have decided not to_ run candidate against former Premier Baldwin, a conservative, in his constituency, and the conservatives of the Carnarvon district have announced that they will not put up an opponeet there against Mr. Lloyd-George. On the other hand, the old partles are concentrating against Mr. Mac- Donald in his Aberavon constituency. The Conservatives who opposed him there in the last election have de- cided not only not to run a candidate this time, but unofficially to support the Liberal nominee. L 3 r, with only a Conservativa running against him, Mr. MacDonald polled 17,439 votes to 13,927 for his opponent. Perhaps it is believed that in this election the Liberal can- didate can hold all the Unionist votes against the premier and pick up the few non-Conservative ballots which Mr. MacDonald got the last time. Broadcasting is beginning to enter the campaign. Mr. MacDonald already has ®poken over the radio and Mr. Asquith will address unseen multi- tudes on Friday LINCOLN HELD SANE; MUST STAND TRIAL Illinois Man Is Charged With Murder of Wife and Her Brother. By the Associated Press. GENEVA. I, October 15—The jury which has been hearing evidence as to the mental, condition of Warren J. Lincoln, who killed his wife and her brother and sealed their heads in a concrete block, last night re- turned a verdict finding Lincoln to be sane “at this time.” The verdict means that Lincoln, the Aurora, Ill, horticulturist - lawyer, who kept the authorities puzzled for months by confessions and repudia~ tions before he finally led them to a dump where heipointed out a block of concrete, containing the heads of his victims, must stand trial for the slavings. The court, in instructing the jury, admonished the body that it was only to determine Lincoln’s mental condi- tion at present. The jury was out for less than two hours,” and was reported to have taken but one ballot. BAND CONCERTS.

Two glistening raplers in the hands of unskilled Central High School boys clashed as a friendly fencing duel was started for the amusement of a group of students during the noon lunch period yesterday in front of a book store near Thirteenth and Clif- ton streets and Alfred Tugman, a 16-year-old junior, fell to the con- crete sidewalk with an ugly inch gash over his right eye. John Milligan, his 18-year-old schoolmate and op- ponent, dropped his blunted foil and stood bewildered over the almost prostrate form of Tugman. Four of Tugman's classmates took him to Emergency Hospital, where he is in serlous condition. Although physicians expect Tugman to recover, he’is suffering from a probable con- cussion of the brain, caused by his fall. Stephen E. Kramer, principal of Central, and Policeman George S. Davis of the eighth precinct, made a thorough investigation today and voiced fhe opinion that Tugman's in- juries were purely accidental. Milli- gan was questioned at the eighth precinct station and later returned to his classes. Bouts Are Customary. Friendly fencing bouts in front of the book store have been engaged in by the Central students during the lunch period for some months. The swords, according to the police, were the property of Richard R. Schiek, proprietor of the book store. Tugman _and Milligan had just squared off for the friendly duel and the latter made a lunge toward Tug- man and he threw up his hands. The blunt tip of the Milligan's foil struck Tugman just above the right eye and tore a ragged gash dangerously clos to the optic. The wounded boy stag- gered for a moment and fell. Mr. Kramer was visibly perturbed over the incident today and sald that though it was unfortunate it was something completely out of the con- trol of the school officials. “It was an absence aforethought on the part of the boys as well as the person who loaned them the swords, the Central principal said. “Neverthe- less, I will exercise further control over the students (o prevent a repe- tition.” Mr. Kramer said he was not in- formed of the accident until after Tugman had been taken to the hos pital. He immediately reported the affair to the police. Fencing was an unrecognized sport at Central last year, and a number of the students took part in the diver- sion. Neither Tugman nor Milligan, however, had ever taken lessons in the art. Robert Lawrence, jr., a member of the now defunct fencing club, told Mr. Kramer today that he, as well as others, had repeatedly warned the boys in front of the book store of the dangers of fencing with foils without masks. Members of the school's fencing club, he said, always wore masks. Tugman lives at 8 Iowa circl Milligan's home is at 1475 Columbia road. - .

While Washington's Chinatown was apparently slumbering peacefully in its habitat on Pennsylvania avenue not far from the pitol, with every outward evidence of serenity and quictude, police were tightening the protective cordon about that district and increasing vigilance to prevent any trouble, which might result seri- ously between the Hip Sing and On Leong tongs, which are on the war- path in a number of other cities. Late last night and far into this morring the “tong squad” of head- quarters, led by Inspector Grant and Detective Kelly toured not only Chinatown, but visited the isolated residences of Chinese throughout the city, giving warning that police were ready to frustrate and apprehend the first evidence of violence to crop up. Minister Sze Investigates. A hurried conference was held be- tween Dr. Alfred Sze, Chinese Minister to the United States, and Ziang Ling Chang, the consul general of New York, vesterday. The latter had been summoned by Dr. Sze. At the lega- tion no statement would be made re- garding the conference, and officials refused to afirm or deny that it had to do with the tong trouble. This construction is generally placed upon it by observers, however, and the fact that Chang returned to New York to- y led to the belief that he was act- ing in the role of conciliator between tongs and that a peace plan had been mapped out. Two arrests were made Ly the po- lice last night. Those takem. Thugg Bink, 36, of 924 E street, who was held for investigation, and Fang Goon, , of 9th and U streets, who was re- Fang satisfied authori- ties his mission here from Boston was a peaceable one. The arrests were made by Detectives Kelly, ¢ crivener, Cullinane and Richard Mansfield in the downtown section while the warning tour of Inspector Grant was in progress. Police Seek Highbinders. Search was going on thoroughly but quietly for Chinese highbinders today—one of whom especially, {8 wanted in Philadelphia for a tong murder vesterday. At the two tong headquarters there was rothing but sunlight and shadows on the pavement outside, with an occasional uniformed police- man showing up now and then. In- de, however, there were conferences and pow-wows going on, with leaders of each faction evincing considerable nervousness. Maj. Sullivan last night directed po- lice to pay special attention to Chi- nese laundries and cafes, informing the force of the murders in New York, Jersey, Chicago, Cleveland and Brooklyn. In front of the On Leong Tong head- quarters at 335 Pennsylvania avenue, a taxicab pulled up shortly after 10 o'clock. A young Chinese alighted. He went into the headquarters and It asn't long before it could be seen serious discussion was going forward anent some news brought by him. From the taxicab driver it was learn- ed that the young man had been picked up on Favette street in Balti- more this morning, and had chartered the cab for the journey to Washing- ton. The fare was paid with a gold piece. Tensity in Situation Seen. This and one other item at the same place gave evidence of the ap- parent tensity of the situation. A high official of the On I<ong Tong, proprietor of restaurants here, walk- ed out and in, and out and in, with his hand constantly in his right over- coat pocket, where police found an automatic pistol was reposing. He a permit to carr; the pistol, however. Conjectures were that he had received a threat. The high- binders are ordered in tong war- fare, it was learned, to get rid of the officials of their opponents’ organiza- tion first. And this man is one of the local officials. Officials of this same tong called on Inspector Grant this morning, but nothing was said anent the visit. ex- cept that it was similar to visits be- ing made by many Chinese to the chief of detectives. At noon all was quiet along the lanes of Chinatown, but police were ready to proceed into action. In the tour of the city last night warning was served on all places visited to keep the dark places well lighted s0 as to avold possibilities of trouble. = Norway Bank Suspends.
