LIGHT ON PRE-CONVENTION CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES Washington, May 25.—In its inquiry into pre-conyention campaign expendi- tures and pledges of presidential candi- dates, the senate investigating committee dealt in quick succession today with the candidacies of Herbert Hoover and Sena- tor France of Maryland, republicans, and Governor Edwards of New Jersey and Senator Owen of Oklahoma, democrats. From . M. Baruch the committes sought information as to the campaign being made in behalf of W. G. McAdoo, democrat, but learned nothing, Mr. Ba- ruch testifying to his own utter ignorance of campaign or campaign financing for any candidate. John F. Lucey, a manager for. Mr. Hoover, said the national campaign fund raised in behalf of the former food ad- ministrator amounted to approximately $62,000, With a present deficit of $4,000, exclusive of the amount spent in Califor- nia. Questioned by committee members, he said he would ask the head of the Hoover campaign in California for infor- mation as to expenses in that state. Charles 1. Hepburn, a Pennsylvania Hoover leader, said that $20,000 had been contributed in_that state. Walter W. Vicks, representing Gover- nor Edwards, testified to. the collection of §12,90 for his principal, and emphatically denied that “wet” influences, money or individuals were or would be concerned i it g . For Senator Owen, J. W. Beller, a manager, said $10,410 had been collected, and expressed the opinion that more might have been used to advantage. Senator France told the committee he had no manager, funds, finances or cam- paign. Chairman Kenyon, after adjournment, ordered notices of the investigation sent to Nicholas Murray Butler of New York and Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts, or their representatives. When Mr. Baruch went on the stand Chairman Kenyon of the committee read newspaper dccounts of a fund of $5,000,- Armenia and Other Foreign ident might call a special session for its especial consideration. It i8 known that republican leaders have advised against the possibility of a special summons, and knowing the sentiment of the senate and house one of the leaders declared tonight that the “best thing to do is/ to get the mandate question over with.” Chairman Porter in a statement said he had not had time to confer with all members of the committee, but that he regarded “the proposition of sending American soldiers fo Armenia or any other foreign country for the purpose .of settling their political and economicaly quarrels as utterly absurd.” If. my views prevail with the coml mittee,” Mr. Porter said, “we shall give the president a mandate to follow that portion of Washington's farcwell ad- dress admonishing us to keep out of Eu- ropean entanglements, or I would gladly give him power forcibly to intervene in Mexico and stop the murder and rob- bery of American citizens which has been going on for over ten years. “The word ‘mandate’ is mijsleading. In the past the action suggested by the president would have been called forci- ble intervention, which is equivalent to war. “If the president will apply ‘watchful waiting’ to Armenia and other foreign countries and forcible intervention to distracted Mexico our immediate neigh- bor, I could agree with him but dis- tance appears to lend enchantment to the presidential view.” PROGRESS OF PROSECUTION IN ZIMMERMAN MURDER TRIAL Springfield, Mass, May 25.—Two wit- Miss Jern! with the murd ry Zimmerman, nat 1 Suy e prosecution in the trial of C.

GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY EMPLOYES VOTE TO STRIKE gestion of Chairman Kenyon that he was “a sort of a government assistant” and said emphatically that he was merely a private citizen without political associa- tions or interests or governmental attach- ments. He summarized his knowledge of campaign funds, expenditures and candi- dates in the following prepared statement which he read to the committee: “I am not, nor have I been in any sense whatsoever, the manager for any candi- date for the nomination for the presi- lency, nor have I been the manager for any person who may be: a candidate for such an office. Neither have I collected, given, promised or disbursed any money or moneys in the interest of any candi- dmte;~direetly or indirectly, for th1S nomi- natign, or for any person ho may be a candidate for such position.” Chairman Kenyon took a good look at the statement and said: “I guess after that, considering the terms of the senate resolution of inquiry, we haven't anything more to ask you, Mr. Baruch. It might just be possible that we can call vou after the conven- tions. That's all” The inquiry into the Hoover campaign ran severa lhours. Senator Reed of Mi: is used by the company.

RAILROADS EXPECT TO SHOW AN INCREASED EFFICIENCY ‘Washington, May 25.—Railroads of the country expect to show increased effi ciency nad. reduced expenses under pri- vate operation, Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio, said today at hearings before the interstate commerce commission on the application of the carriers for freight rate increases of more than $1,000,000,000 to meet the guaran- teed annual return of 6 per cent. The statement made during cross-examination was in reply to a question by Glenn E. Plumb, representing railway employes. For a period, Mr. Willard said, demands for service would effect savings in ex- penses. Answering Clifford Thorne of Chicago, representing shippers’ associations, Mr. Willard said the tendency would be eventually to increase the volume of traf- fie on the roads, but not this year. Gov- ermment efforts during -the war, he ex- plained, resulted in the freight cars being loaded to capacity, while the average §rsexl§m car load was less in 1919 than in This did not reflect less efficiency on the part of the roads, Mr. Willard said, but the cessation of certain influences. Under private control there will be savings because of efliclency, .but ex- penses will not immediately drop as fast freight service probably will have to be resumed and passenger mileage greatly increased, the witness said. 5 Mr. Willard said he believed the in- vestment in the Baltimore and Ohio was fairly reflected in book accounts, his own Mr. Willard stated that the Baltimore and Ohio was not returned in as gocd condition as when it was taken over. He estimated the difference as to maintenance of structure and way at five or six mil- lion dollars. SOLDIER RELIEF LEGISLATION 18 PUZZLING HOUSE LEADERS Washington, May 25.—House leaders weer perturbed today over the question of soldier relief legislation. ‘With democrats and about fifty of their own number attempting to block immedi- ate consideration, leaderg started a new move in the hope of breaking the com- bination co that the bill might be pre- sented to the house not later than Thurs- day. Although Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee announced that he planned to eall up the measure Thursday, there were -indications of a possible change in the republican pro- gram, but some uncertainty as to what might happen. Instead of the effort to give the relief bill the right of way by a special rule, republicans fighting for the bonus dedided on other parliamentary tactics and announced they would en- deavor to get it hefore the house by sus- pension of the rules. Although this would require a two-thirds vote for passage, the plan would permit only a straight-out vote for or, against adoption. Democrats asserted . they would put up a solid front-and wit hthe help of “insur- gent republicans” defeat the ~big. tax measure. They claimed that supporters of the bonus had failed to obtain suffi- cient votes to give it the right.of way. While house. leaders were fighting he- hind the scenes, Senator Sherman, repub- lican, Illinois, speaking in the senate, denounced the proposed legislation “as an attempt by the American Legion to loot the feneral treasury.” BANKS WELL ABLE TO CARRY NATION’S INDUSTRY Cleveland, O., May 25.—Banks of the country are well able to carry the na- tion’s industry through present difficul- ties, Richard S.
