HINTS SOVIET FUND IS AIDING LA FOLLETTE T. V. O'Connor Asks Extent of Contribution to Bring About Un- { certainty in America. By the Associated Press. BUFFALO. October 16.—Thomas V. O'Connor, chairman of the Shipping Loard and for years head of the Long- shofeman’s Union, asked an audience hiere last night if any one in “abso- lute authority” would deny that a large amount of moneys has been sent from Russia through Mexico to stréngthen the cause of Senators La Foljette and Wheeler, the Independ- entinational ticket. “How much money has been sent here by Soviet Russia,” he asked, “to win this fight and bring about uncer- taigty in this country, the same as in their own country?” Mr. O'Connor spoke at length on the connection of union leaders with the Ya Follette-Wheeler campaign, and asserted that “members of labor or- anizations are not going to stand-for having their vote delivered by na- tional officers or local representa- tives.,” The speaker, who predicted Presi- dent Coolidge's election, charged that Senator La Follette hoped to throw the contest into Congress, where he expected to “name and crown a Presi- dent and in that way gain for himself @ greater power than that possessed by the man who is crowned.” —_— ‘What Experts Bay.

DECLARES COLUMBUS WAS NOT AN ITALIAN 0ld Controversy Given New Start by Speaker at Anglo-Spanish Society Meeting. By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 16.—The century- old controversy over the nationality of Christopher Columbus has come to the fore again through the pro- nouncement yesterday at a meeting of the Anglo-Spanish Society of Lon- don by Col. W. R. Mansfield that Columbus was a Spaniard and not an Italian, as more popularly believed. Col. Man'fleld has been engaged in extensive rescarch and says he is prepared to upset the popular con- ception of the early life of Columbus. Ho asserted in his lecture today that the Italian documents which here- tofore have supported the belief con- corning the great discoverers na- tionality are forgeries, so clumsily executed he wonders that historians have failed to realize their worthless- ness. On the other hand, he declared that documents which have been occasion- ally advanced to prove the pure Span- ish blood in Columbus’ veins are not spurious, but real proof of his na- tionality, and that he was born at Pontavedra, in Galicia, Spain. —_— NEW STEP IN ELECTRICS. I.goomofives for Railroad Will Be Traveling Substation. NEW YORK, October 16.—Seven electric locomotives, marking what is said to be a new step in the elec- trification of railways using alternat- ing current, will soon be put in ope- ration on the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad here, it was announced yesterday. Each of the lo- comotives will be a traveling sub- station, picking up 11,000 volts of alternating current from overhead wires and changing it to direct cur- rent, which operates the driving motors. Long-distance transmission of high voltage altrenating current is thus combined with the efficiency and dur- ability of direct current motors. RATE CASE NEAR END. Final arguments in “the trans- continental long and short haul case were begun today before the Inter- ADVERTISING MADE GERMAN LOANGO $120,000,000 Being Spent This Year to Enlighten Pub- lic on Investments. BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispateh to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., October 16.—The startlingly heavy oversubscription of the German loan in America could never have been possible had it not been for financial advertising. That statement was made to the writer by Gaylord S. Morse, president of the Financial Advertisers’ Association now in convention here. He explained that through financia! advertising, thrift, saving and safe investment had become so much a part of the life of the American peo- ple as to put them in a position to in- vést huge sums when they saw op- portunity to do so. Bankers Seen in New Light. “Financial advertising,” he said, ‘has introduced bankers to thousands of prospective customers. It has en- abled them to get together and do business. It has demonstrated that the old time idea of the banker with a long face, a long coat, and ice wa- ter in his veins who took his cus- tomer's right eye and tossed it in the vault as security was as obsolete as the stage Irishman or the Dundreary Englishman. “Advertising has established confi- dence and has brought out the indi- vidualities of banking organizations, which, being le up of men. have their personalities just as other men have theirs, All banks render fiduci- ary service of some sort. This is a service which justifies an extended campaign of education of the public. $120,000,000 in Advertising. Intelligent investment is the cor- ner stone of such service. It is not a game to be played by the ignorant or inexperienced. Our adverti " 3 should not be directed to capitalists already made when 8o much more could be done to mark the course for the wobbly feet of the misguided and unsophisticated. We have no business to be in a business demand- ing public confidence if we are not genuinely interected in the other fellow’s aspirations.’ Mr. Morse laid special stress on the value of the daily newspaper as a medium through ~which confidence could be established with the public as a whole and predicted that finan- cial advertising would grow tre- mendously. He declared his own esti- mate of $120,000.000 as the total of the amount nually by banks in America was ex- tremely modest. Truth Held Biggest Factor. Carroll Ragan of the United States Mortgage and Trust Company of New York, who ig slated to succeed Mr. Morse as president of the adver- tisers, agreed heartily with the con- clusions of the latter as to the future of financial advertising, and a‘ded that truth in such advertising was an abso'ute essential. “A bank has nothing to sell the nublic except ervice,” he declared “It has no concrete object which it can pass across the counter for the patron’s inspection. It must sell an idea. So much the more reason. therefore, that it should be in a posi- tion to fulfill every detail of the idea that is sod in order to inspire and retain confidence.” Mr. Ragan declared the volume of bank advertising was increasing steadily, and the practice of adver- tising bids fair to become universal on the part of financial institutions, whether large or small. Newspaper: he said, had done much to establish the habit of careful and safe invest- ment through improvement in the character of their financial pages and the determination to exclude from their columns any advertising which had the slightest odor of fraud. How Advertisements Pay. Thomas B. McAdams, a_former president of the American Bankers' Association, made it plain to the delegates that the American Bankers’ Association and its member banks fa. vored extensive advertising to sta bilize conditions. He asserted that the only advertisements which p: for themselves were those in which the integrity of the advertiser were made plain, and that the entire finan- cial structure of the banks and of in- dustry rested on a foundation of pub- lic confidence, efforts to undermine which must be strongly opposed. P BAN OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS ON CHINESE IS FOUGHT Orientals to Test Mississippi Law. Former Governor Is Counsel. By the Associated Press. JACKSON, Miss., October 16.—A test of the ruling of the State board of education Issued last Summer that Chinese children are not entitled to attend white schools in Mississippi is to be made In the courts here. Ex-Gov. FEarl Brewer of Clarks- dale has been employed by the Chinese residents of Rosedale, Boli- var County, whose children hereto- fore have attended the white schools, to fight the case. The attorney general handed down a ruling that Chinese children could not attend the public schools and the board of education acted on it. The school authorities acted on the board of education ruling and refused to admit the Chinese children to the schools. They also were denied ad- mission to the negro schools. MINE STRIKE ENDS. 6,000 to Return to Work in Penn- sylvania County. SCRANTON, Pa., October 16.—After a five-hour discussion members of the general grievance committee of the Glen Alden Coal Co. at a meet- ing here yesterday voted to call off the strike which has cr'pped the collieries of the company in Luzerne County and forced idleness on ap- proximately 6,000 miners.
