New York, Aug. 29.—Brooklyn awoke 4his morning to find its transportation facilities gompletely tied up by an unex- pected strike of approximately £,000 em- ployes of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Eystem. The strike has been pending several days and at a meeting late last night, the acr men voted to defer action om the strike for one Wweek. Three hours later another eeting was held and the men voted to go on strike at § o'clock | this morning. Tomight all lines virtually were para- Iyzed. No surface cars Were running and only a meagre number of trains were crawling over the elevated and sub- way lines. These were under police pro- tection.

Cox, who made a dozen or more political allies wait two hours at his hotel while he vis- ited the Polyclinic hospital.. The second and last day of the demo- cratic presidential candidate’s stay here had been scheduled for him far in ad- vance and some of Governor Cox advis- ors counselled against taking so much time away from political conferences. “Let them wait,” the governor said, announcing his intention of visiting every one of the soidiers in the hospital. “If it will cheer them to meet me, they won't be disappointed.” Going from ward to ward he chatted a moment with each of the invalids who dressed in pajamas and bath robes and displaying bandages and cruitches, in- cluded men in every stage of convales- cence. On the roof of the hospital the govern- or, posed for photographs surrounded by patients, nurses and physicians. “On September 2, I start for my western front,” he told one group. “What I do there will be in emulation of what you 1il on the western front in France —that is, clean 'em up.” On the roof, the candidate with twen- ty or mcre of the bovs had to wait while a camera man adjusted his focus. “He doesn’t shoot as fast as the Ger- mans, does he?" the governor asked. “T'll say he don’t,” chorused the boys, stretching bedworn limbs or giving an unconseious wirce of reminiscetice in grim testimony of the governor's jest. The trip through the Polyclinic was arranged by the National Disabled Sol- diers’ league. It began in the late aft- ernoon and ended with only a few hours intervening before the departure of the governor’s train for Columbus. On returning to his hotel the candi- date found many democratic leaders waiting to comfer with him. In a short time he received several of these, in- cluding Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, of N York, who wished personally to an- nounce his intention of taking the stump for tre democratic ticket. Barlier in the day, sovernor Cox at- tended service at St. Paul's Episzopal church in Brooklyn.

The book| is to be distributed to newspaper edi- tors and campaign speakers, he said, and is expected to minimize research work. on the mational issues of the campaign. democratic critics ‘as “Boss Barnes' Book,” with the intimation that its pur- pose was the raising of campaign funds. According to Mr. Hendrick, ~William Barnes of Albany, the republican state leader, has nothing to do with the writ- ing or the obtaining of contributions. Mr. Barnes' picture appears as the first il- lustration under the heading “Eminent New York Republicans of 1920," ana there is no other mention of him. “The contributions to the expense of the bood were made by men who desired that such a volume be presented to the public during the campaign as a sup- plement to the efforts of political com- mttees,” Mr. Hendricks declared in the announcement; “While William Barnes has sponsoreed the book and his name has been an assurance to the eminent men who have contributed money and articles, yet Mr. Barnes has had no per- sonal knowledge of the sources of con- tributions.” Those contribyting articles include Former Senator Albert J. Beveridge, Elihu Root, Albert Bushnell Hart, Gov- ernor Coolidge of Massachusetts, Repre- sentative Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, Law- rence Y. Sherman, Benjamin B. Odell, Chauncey M. Depew, Supreme Court Justice William R. Daz, Major General Leonard Wood and Arthur Twining Had- ley, president of Yale university.

This evidence, they declared, would prove untrue the charges of Governor Cox, democratic nominee, that “a $15,- 000,000 corruption fund” was being raised by the republicans and would ‘“crucify Cox on his own cross.” Will Hays, chairman of the republican national committee, arrived this morning and he and Fred W. Upham, treasurer of the national committee, Were in con- ference until late tonight. Under their supervision copies of the party’s books and records were made containing .the name of every contributor to the cam- paign fund and the amount given, the party’s campaign budget and the quotas assigned districts. Another statement prepared is said to show the expenditures of the party in the campaign. - “It will all be given to the committee tomorrow,” said Mr. Upham. "It will show that there is no corruption, no slush fund, and that Governor Cox's statements are absolutely untrue.” Previous statements by Mr. Hays and Mr. Upham that the republican party would not be content with defending it- self from Governor Cox's charges but would present evidence concerning the democratic campaign fund were reiterat- ed tonight. “We will fight fire with fire,” said Mr. Hays. “We will not only make public everything with our campaign, but we will force the democrats to do the same. We warued them at the start that we would not take their aspersions. lying down, and we are going to back up that statement.” Senator Walter E. Edge, republican, of New Jersey, arrived unexpectedly today and will take part in the hearings. Sen- ator Edge, a member of the senate com- mittee, has been in Europe and has not attended any of the hearings since the conventions. He called at republican headquarters and was closeted with Mr. Hays and Mr. Upham a few minutes, but said that the meeting had no official sig- nificance. Senator Kenyon, republican, of Towa, chairman of the committee, arrived late tonight, and Senator Pomerene, demo- crat, of Ohio, and the other members arc expected early tomorrow. Senator Miles Poindexter of Washing- ton and many other renublican leaders also either are here or expected. On the democratic side there was little activity. There was no one_officially au- thorized to speak for them in connection with the hearing. Wilbur Marsh, treas- urer of the democratic national commit- tee, and George White, chairman, are ex- pected tomorrow. So far as could be learned, no word has been received from Governor Cox as to any evidence he might send or saying whether he expected to attend. He was invited to do 50 a week ago, but replied he felt his presence should mot be de- manded. At republican headquarters it was said that the party leaders probably would not insist htat Governor Cox be forced to at- tend, but that every effort would be made to obtain all evidence he might have. It was indicated that the republicans might ask the committee to £0 to Governor Cox if it was felt that a subpoena would in- terfere with his campaign plans or tend to humiliate him. Mr. Hays and Mr. Upham saw no one throughout the day but party leaders ex- cept for a thirty-minute interview given newspapermen by the national committee | chairman, in which he issued a formal statement again denying Governor Cox's charges. “Candidate Cox has charged that mil- lions have been paid to the republican national committee by sinister influences to buy the presidency,” said the state- ment. “Yesterday he is reported to have said in New York that many men are moking contributions to the repubiican campaign fund for the purpose of using the bayonet to settle industrial difficul- | ties. Candidate Cox will have to prove these charges, but this he cannot do, be- cause they are absolutely false. His dec- larations are an insult to the thousands of citizens aiding us with small contribu- tions, and we will publicly prove them false by making public the name of every contributor, the amount, and the purpose for which it is spent, “Incidentally, Candidate Cox will have to explain the source of his funds col- lected by his own national committee and by the agencies outside his national committee for his benefit.” ‘While neither Mr. Hays nor Mr. Upham would anticipate testimony by saying ex- actly what figures would be presented, it was generally understood that the national campaign budget, which it was said would be presented to the commit- tee, wollld total $3,767000. Concerning the list of quotas, it was said that it was entirel; different from the list Gov- ernor Cox used in his Pittsburgh speech and that evidence concerning it would be introduced to show that more than 30,000 persons had contributed to the fund, which now totalled somewhat more than 2 million dollars, Congressman Fred A. Britten of Tlinois has been subpoenaed in connection with his charges that money appropriated by Great Lritain for entertainment at the Washington embassy had found its way to the democratic national committee and the investigating committee also has sev- eral other matters on its docket. The senatorial primaries in Oklahoma, in which Senator Gore was defeated, and the pre-convention campaign in Kansas are among them. Representative James W. Good, repub- lican, of Iowa, tonight issued a state- ment charging that - democratic office- holders iad violated the corrupt practices act by levying political assessments on federal employes and saying he would welcome an opportunity to appear before the investigating committee in support of his_statements. He specifically charged that E. T. Mee- dith, secretary of agriculture, and Wil- bur Marsh became directors of an Towa club organized solely to obtain money trom federal employes in secret. BODY OF CROWELL FOUND IN CONNECTICUT RIVER ‘Warehouse Point, Conn., Aug. 29— Battles in Belfast Saturday Night |Eleven Persons Were Kllled and Nearly Forty Injured, Many Seriously. Belfast, Aug. 29—Belfast's Saturday night was the worst since what is popu- larly known as the Battle of Kashmir ad. 11 persons were killed and near- forty wounded. many of them serious- Iy. All the killed were young men, the victims of gunshot wounds. Ballymacarelt, a suburb of Belfast, re- sponded to the lord mayor's appeal and remained fairly quiet, but Saturday af- ternoon Cullingtree road, abutting Grosvenor road. the unionist district, and from which side strects radiate to the fals, became the storm center. Later in the'evening the battle shifted to the northern part of the city by way of Townsend street, a long thoroughfare extending from the falls to Old Lodge road. The latter and the upper parts of Crumlin and Old Park roads were the centers of the fiercest fighting of the whole week, especially the “Marrowbone,” the nickname of the nationalist enclave at the top of Old Park road. Sinn Feiners in this neighborhood made an organized descent on unionists in Crumlin road, smashing windows and firing into houses. Failure by the police to hold them back led to the summoning of military aid. For several hours armored cars were in action, together with squads of police and soldiers, and volleys were poured into the crowd. After two hours of stiff fighting the Sinn Fein- ers were driven back into their ownm quarters, but sniping into the unionist quarters continued far into Sunday morn- ing. CARDINAL DENOUNCE:! ASSASSINATION OF Belfast, August 29.—(By The A. Cardinal Logue, primate of Ireland, a vigorous letter read in churches today, denounces the shooting of Constable who was assassinated at Dundalk - a week ago by masked men, and reprisals by the crown forces recently in southern Ireland. He says: 2 “The poor victim I know to have been a quiet, upright man who never gave of- fense to anyone in the discharge of his duty. CONSTABLE P.) in the Dundalk impartially Lrennan, m I to be told that this is an act of war; that it is lawful to shoot at sight anyone wearing a policeman’s uni- form and honestly discharging a police- man's duty? I prefer to call it by its true name—cold, deliberate, wilful mur- der. Hence, anyone who plans, encour- ages, abets or even sympathizes with such an act participates in the guilt be- fore God.” Equally condemning reprisals, the car- dinal_continues: “I know We are living under the harsh tyranical regime of militarism and brute forms, which invites and stimulates crime,. that all pretense of discipline has been thrown to the winds: that’ those|l protessing to he the guardians of law and order have become the most ardent votaries of lawlessness and disorder; that they have been overrunning the country and making the night hideous by raids, rifie fire burnings and the destruction of valuable property; that towns have been sacked, as in the rude warfare of the earlier ages amd that those who run from fear are shot at sight, and that reckless firing in crowded places has made many innocent victims. “And when these things are reported to the authorities, either investigation is refused or some hole or corner inquiry held, but we have never heard of pun- ishment. All this professes to be done by way of reprisals, but reprisals are generally unjust and often fall on the innocent. Crime does not excuse crime.” VIOLENCE IN MANY PARTS OF IRELAND Dublin, Aug. 29.-4'lthough Dublin was almost completely free from acts of vio- lence during the week end, reports re- ceived at Dublin castle tell of incidents of lawlessness in many parts of Ireland. Mails were held up in not less than seven places. Lord Castleton was stonped by armed men while motoring near Skehanagh in | company with two ladies. He was obliged to surrender his gun. Several barracks and coast guard stations are reported burned. The official report of the death of John Buckley and the wounding of his brother Bartholomew after they had been arrested by military near Cork denies the charge that they were roped -together, back to back, in which position they were both wounded by the same bullet. The government statement declares the broth- ers made a determincd effort to escape and, when their escort fired in an effort o prevent their doing so, John Buckley was killed. QUIET PREVAILED IN BELFAST Belfast, Aug. 30.—Quiet prevailed in Belfast at midnight last night, furnishing a strong contrast to Saturday night's fighting. UNDAY NIGHT STILL WAS 00 GALLON SEIZED IN CHICOPEE, MASS. Springfield, Masp., Ang. 29.—Seizure of ten barrels of moonshine whiskey and the finding today of a 100-gallon still and 400 gallons of mash in Chicopee by police and prohibition officers led to_the arrest of Kerry Carbone of 16 West Third street, Newark, J.; Thomas Brown of this city and Charles Guertin of Chicopee, all of whom were held for hearing. The barrelled licuor was seiz- ed on a truck operated by Carbone and Brown and the still and mash was found near Guertin’s home ‘but the ownership was denied by all three of any of it. o« BOMB EXPLOSION PUZZLES BRIDGEPORT POLICE Bridgeport, Conn., Auy. 29.—Police investigation today failed to solve the mystery of a bomb explosion late last night in front of the plant of the Acme Shear Company here. A hole five feet in diameter was blown in the sidewalk and the detonation was heard for a ra- dius of a mile. As far as could be learned no one was injured, but excite- ment was caused by the explosion and fire apparatus and police Wagons were called . out. STRIKE OF N. Y.
