St louis Mo, July 9.—Questioning of, 3 dozen witnesses by the senate com- mittee investigating campaign expendi- tures today resulted in charges that high cost of living bureaus established by the department of justice were “political en- terprises” used primarily to “bring about the nomination of Attorney Genmeral A. Mitchell Palmer for president by the democratic national convention.” Witnesses also declared that Edward Goltra. democratic national committee- man from Missouri, distributed $150 checks to St Louis delegates to the state convention which was instrumental in the ousting of Senator James Reed of Missouri from his national convention seat. Goltra was declared by witnesses 1o be a supporter of Palmer, but a few also admitted receiving expense money from A C. Stuevers, a local capitalist, said to have been a supporter of Gov- ernor Cox. The charges againit the attorney gen- eral and the department of justice Were made by Miss Olivia Brueggeman, for- merly executive secretary of the Missou- ri women's high cost of living bureau, who declared she “was dismissed because she wms a republican.” Mrs. John R. Leigh burean. and Miss Mary Scott, its pubi ity director, partly contradicted Miss Brueggeman's testimny, declaring that while its representatives had attended state democratic and republican conven tions nartly at government expense, they 2id so to organize counties in the anti- ng campaign. they mdmitted that “no counties were organ- ized at these conventions” and that they aiso “talked politics with the women answering ques- sons - without * hesitation, told the com- mittee that workers employed by the de- partment of justice to educate the people in lowering level costs, confined their speeches 1o boosting Palmer, and gener- ally the only time living costs were H.C.

Senator James Reed F mentioned were when the speakers would explain that “election of Palmer to the presidency would mean lower prices.” “We were asked to include ‘Palmer publicity matter in our ‘H. C. L’ pub- liiety and to use it in such a way that it ‘would not be quickly detected as a boost for him for president, this was done. “When our representatives attended the state conventions the government paid theis railroad fare and allowed $4 a day extra. They went apparently to organize counties, but inreality to boost Palmer for president.” Miss Brueggemann said there were eighteen “H. C. L." bureaus in the coun- try. “run at a cost of at least $102,000 a year, and that she understood they also Were used to advocate Palmers candi- dacy. Miss Scott denied that any publicity matter in support of the attorney gen- eral's candidacy had been sent out from the bureau. “Before God, Senator, we were justified in using government money to attend the conventions, for we did government work,” she sals Mrs. Leighty also denied that “Pal- mer puffs” were included in the bureau's publieity “We worked to reduce the high cost of g and we did—somewhat,” she said. The statements concerning Goltra were |made by democratic city committeemen who were delegates to the state convem= tion. They declared that they “were for Reed” and “against Palmer” but accept- ed the money from Goltra under ihe sup- position that it had been raised among the democrats. Their expenses always had been paid to conventions ,they said. The committee will meet again tomor- |row to hear additional witnesses. After tomorrow's session it expects to disband temporarily. Goltra and Davis will be questioned as coon as possible, Senator Kenyon said tonight. Henry Stuevers, mentioned in | today’'s testimony, also has been sub- | poenaed but is believed to be in San | Francisco. i MURDERED HIS WIFE TO GET HER MON - Chicago, July Lieutenant Carl ‘Wanderer in a new conféssion which the state’s attorney gave sut tomight. admit. ted that he shot and Killed his wife to get rid of her and get possession of her money.

The platform which will be used by the resolutions committee as a_ basis for its work is one adopted by the Committee of 48 last December when it held the first ublic. ownership of trans- ies and certain other pub- tion to force idle land abolition of special priv- will be made to secure- en- nt of the platform by the Labor 'y of the United States and the World ar Veterans, both of which are hold- conventions here. It is our hope that labor, including farmers and other divisions of the labor- ing classes, will find in the mew party’s platform a common sense ideal which theycan support wholeheartedly at the polls,” said J. A. H. Hopkins, chairman of the Committee of 45, who has had charge of the orzanization work which resulted in the calling of the conven- tion. ‘The full :success of what we are try- ing to accomplish Would include our get- ting the support of organized labor, sym- pathizers of the single tax. the Non-Par- tisan League, and the bulk of the inde- pendent voters of the country who are dissatisfied with the evasion of respon- bility which the republican and demo- cratic parties have revealed In their platforms. ‘Our_delegates from every state in_the union include representatives of these paries, who see their opportunity to form a coalition strong enough to insure de- feat for hoth old parties mext November and the election of a president and vice president chosen by the people themselves on a platform that undertakes nothing but the courageous meeting of issues which confront America today.

Mr. Hopkins would make no prediction as’ t the probable nominees for president and viee president. He called attention to treturns from a_questionnaire sent out 1 last spring.

SINN FEIN COURTS SUPERSEDE CROWN TRIBUNALS Dublin, July 9—Evyidence is piling up here which seemingly would indicate that the newly organized Sinn Fein courts rap- idly are superseding in power the crown tribunals. A great number of cases on appeal are being withdrawn from the crown sunreme court because it is stated that the litigants have little confidence in the power of that tourt.. For the same reason it is alleged that unlonists are ap- pealing to the Sinn’ Fein lower courts. One unionist attorney is credited with saying that it was useless to take a case before the crown court and that ds his client desired quick actioh hé took the case to a Sinn Fein tribunal. In many parts of the provinces Sinn Feiners have taken over control of liquor | selling and have issued orders to saloons | regarding the hours of closing. Sinn Fein | pickets .have been effective in stopping Sunday drinking by checking up bona fide | travelers who are entitled under the law to drink. The policy of serving drinks onJ Sunday hitherto has been spasmodic. Now | it has been made regular by a code issued | to license hours by which they may be open only from § o'clock in the morning until 9 at night and which prohibits the | selling of liquors on Sundays or church holidays.
