But to have a real fireworks display on the Washington Monument Grounds 1,000 citizens must con- tribute S1' each by tomorrow night. Send your checks im- mediately to Isaac Gans, chair- man of the finance commitiee, Franklin School. At least $1,000 must be contributed by patriotic citizens of the National Capital by tomorrow nignt or plans for the hig fireworks displav at_the Washington Monument on .uly 5 in connection with the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the establish ment of American indspendence will have 1o be abandoned, it was an nounced vesterday afternoon by 1s: Gans, finance chairman, after consu tation with Edgar C. Snyder. chair man of the city-wide committee on arrangements, and K. C. Graham, fireworks chairman for the celebra- | tion. | One thowsand men and women are asked to give §1 each by tomorrow night in order that the people of ‘Washington may enjoy an Impressive fireworks display on this Important historic occasion. To date $2,096 has heen donated for the celebration, of which $1,500 will be spent for the| pageant ceremonies on the east front | of tha Capitol, and approximately $500 for all other incidental expenses, such as printing, posters, postage, renting of chairs for official guests, transpor- tation of bands, badges, eic. It was planned to spend $1.500 on fireworks alone, but the committee feels that if necessary that amount may be cut to $1,000. But $1,000 is necessary to put on an adequate dis- play that will be a credit to the city. and that amount must be in hand this week or the fireworks will have to be given up. All other plans for a big celebration were said today to be making excel- | lent progress and the people of Wash- | ington are asked to come forward at once to save the fireworks feature of the program.

WILLIS NOT ON DRY PAY ROLL, HE SAYS Never Was on It, He Asserts, in Reply to Reports of Wheeler Testimony. By the Associated Press. amed by Wayne B. Wheeler as one of the Senators who had received “honorariums” from the Anti-Saloon League for making prohibition speeches, Senator Wiilis, Republican, Ohio, rose in the Senate today and de. clared he had never been on the league's pay roil. Senator Willis read reports appear- ing in the morning newspapers of the examination of Wayne B. Wheeler before the special Senate committee last night, which included his name in a list of Congressmen who had r ceived expentes and “‘honorariums” from the Anti-Saloon League. Declaring that the import of the articles was that he was or had been on the pay roll of the Anti-Saloon League. he asserted that he was not now and never had been upon such pay roll, but that while a private citizen, holding no public office, he had made a few speeches outside of Ohio in wetand-dry fights in various communities. “Whatever remuneration 1 received came from the local community,” he declared. “and not from any national organization. It should be added in this connection that I have never received one penny by way of com- pensation, expenses, or otherwise, for any address upon the wet-and-dry question anywhere inside the State | of Ohio.” CHILETIGFORMS U.S. | OF DECISION TO END | ARICA NEGOTIATION | _(Continued from Flirst Page.) | Estay. who declared Chile should do | everything possible to remove the dis. | credit placed on her by Gen.

LASSITER STILL GUARDED. ARICA, Chile, June 18 (#).—Chile- an army and navy contingents were guarding the residence of Gen. Wil ltam Lassiter today following vester- day's demonstrations, in which the plehiscitary chairman’ was the object of hisses and antl-American cries. The residences of the Peruvian dele- gates were also under guard. The demonstrations were staged by hileans in disapproval of Gen. Las- siter’s course in moving that & plebi- scite to decide the sovereignty of Tacna and Arica, as between Peru and Chile, would be fruitless in view of Chile's alieged unfair tactics. The motion was carried at a recent meet- ing, the Peruvians voting with the Americans. THe United Staies cruiser Galves. ton has arrived to take Gen. Lassiter home. The five-day perfod allowed for a Chilean appeal, under the provi- sions of the arbitral award, does not expire until tomorrow night, and con- sequently the departure of Gen. Las- siter and his legal advisers is not absolutely certain. Indications are, however, that no appeal will be forthcoming from the Chileans, since such action would be contrary to their legal stand. Fur- thermore, the Chileans say the fate an appeal would have is clearly shown by the fact that the Americans have completed all preparations for de- parture, this indicating the receipt of advices from Washington that any ap- peal would be rejected. el The status of the boundary commis- sion is uncertain, but it is understood the delegations are awalting instruc- tions from their governments as to ad- News Vendor Attacked.

DES MOINES, June 18.—Smith W. Brookhart's campaign for the Republican nomination for the United States senatorship did not cost him a penny, and $444.56 of the $1,934.44 contributed to his State headquarters remains, his expense account shows. Most of Brookhart’s contribu- tions were gathered through the Wheeler defense committee. Ex- penses, a financial statement shows, were taken care of in many cases by farm and labor committees where he spoke. speeches in the Klan organization pre- senting the “qualifications” of the va- rious, primary candidates, but had made’ no recommendations. The Klan membership largely was for Pinchot, he said, and in response to Senator Reed declared Klan leaders had made no effort to use their influence in be- half of Pinchot. ¥ Charles Anderson, a Pittsburgh la- bor leader, next was called, but after brief questioning was dismissed by Senator Reed with the admonition to “come hera perfectly sober tomor- row.” He had exasperated the chair- man with his rambling testimony and was warned that he was ‘‘under the pains and penalties of perjury.” Says He Gave $3,000. Senator King then interrupted to say he did not think the witness was in condition to_testify. Anderson had told of having given $3,000 to Edward N. Kenna, treasurer of the Vare Pittsburgh committee. Pressed by Reed as to where he got the money, he said he had had it in his pocket fof two or three days. “1 got $1,800 from a friend who 1 it to me,” he added. Where did you get the other $1,500 you had in your pocket?” Reed asked. “Well, the nature is private, but if you want it I'll tell you." “Let's have it,” Reed directed. “Had It to Bet on FElection.” “Well, T had that to bet on the out come of the election.” Anderson leaned across the table and got very confidential with Sen. ator Reed. He confided that since he had been a member of the Pittsburgh city council he had carried from §600 to $800 in his pocket all the time. Dismissal of Anderson exhausted the list of available witnesses present except Mr. Wheeler, who asked for a conference with the committee, which was held in an adjoining room. After the conference Wheeler took {o gressing from his regular examina tion because “the committee under- stands that you are not in the best { of health.” “I am ready to go on if the coms mittee desires,” Wheeler said Senator Reed then read from a statement issued vesterday by Wheeler, the concluding paragraph of which said: “It is a matter of comment that leaders of wet organizations who doubtless could give much informa tion about money spent outside of the campaign committee have not the stand and Reed said he was di- | Mr. | to the salarles of the paid officials of the Anti-Saloon League, Wheeler said the general superintendent received $7,500; an_assistant superintendent.| $6.500, or $7,000, and the manager of the publishing interests, $8,000.

The dry leader added that the State superintendents received from a mini mum of $2,400 to $8,000, in the case of one superintendent. “Have you any men who hold public positions, who are speakers or lec- turers?"" “I think not, except occasionally Reed adverted to the former activi- ties of Richmond Pearson Hobson, but Wheeler said he did not speak now. The Anti-Saloon League leader said John Kramer, former prohibition, had received $7,500 a year as a speaker after he quit the Federal service. $2,000,000 1S REPORTED.
