COX UNSTCCESSFUL IN ATTEMPT TO TRAP HARDING Marfon. Ohio, Cox Oct. 19.—An unsuccess- ful attempt by Governor “to trap Benator Harding” was charged in a state- ment lssued from Harding headquarters bers tonight in response to suggestions by the demoeratic ncminee that M. Hard- ing had conferred with Maurice DeKo- pra. & French journalist. regarding the French actitude toward the league’of na- tone. The statement. iewued over the sizma- ture of Judson C. Welliver, headquarters sald that Senator Harding never had heard of Dekobra un- 1l today, though the latter ad made an amsuceessful effort to see him in Indian- was asserted fur- her that Dekobra whe sald he had been sravelling with the Cox party, “was “evi- #irector of publicity, apalls last Friday. fBently expected by sure an interview I overnor Cox to se- th Senator Harding nd to say certain things to him." “Therefore.” continued the statement. “when Senator Harding on the next daf At Gregneascle, Ind. made his casual ob- wevation about France having sent [today. Harding had taken the bait” Senator Harding himself deflined to discuss the governor's references to De- kobra or to say anything further in re- gard to hjs utterance at Greencastle. He indicated that with his reply £o President Witson's letwor on the subject last night he was inclined to regard the incident as closed, and that he did not intend to reveal the identity of his informants or any other details of the “informal” ad- Vices he received Zrom them. g Mr. Welliver's ®atement follows: “In his speech at Rochester. N. Y., last evening, Governor Cox is quoted as say- ing in reference to Senator IHarding's ement that ‘spokesman of France' had informally asked thac America should lead the way for an association oL, ua- N tare Senatorr Harding to tell Ameri- co publicly whether or not the represent- ative of France was Maurice Dekobra of Paris. If this be true, and 1 have strong reasons for believing it 18, T wish to remind you of Senator Harding's oft- repeated as: that he intended: to take counsel always with others. We have here an instance of the kind, of tounsel he will seek in connection with jnternational affairs. Monsieur Dekobra yppears to be a fine gentleman, but he is s humorist and i his own behalf I doubt_if he would say he is profound in saternational affairs.” “Governor Cox has fallen into a neat little trap that had been set for Senator tiarding. Senator Harding never saw M. Dekobra and never heard of him until The facts about this pleasant lit- \le conspiracy are briefly these: “On_Fri evening last, a few min- ntes after Senator Harding'y train had ar- vived at Indianapolis, M. Dekobra cathe fo me at the Severin hotel, introducing Vimself as the correspondent of La Li- berte of Paris and asked that an audi- nce with Senator Ifarding be arranged. 1 declined, and Monsieur Dekobra. be- insistent. He sald he had been g with Governor Cox’s party, and ng secured the Cox viewpoint o in- ternational matters, now desirous of wn interview with Senator Harding in wrder that he might presen the repub- lican side of the matter. He wah very ins'stent _upan ~ seeing Senator Hardinz <nd seeing him immediately. 1 finally 10ld him it was imposs:ble. “Monsieur Delobra was evidently ex- *ame {mected by Governor Cox to secure an in- terview with Senaior Harding anGo Say «ertain things to him. Therefore when Senator Harding on the next day at Ind., made his casual ob- «crvation about Franc: having —sent a wokesman to him informally, Governor Cox assumed that the DeKobra mission Greencastle, Yiad been successful, and that. Senator Harding had taken the bait, the gov- srnor proceeded to_expose his own part, Yy daring Serator Harding to say wheth- er his French informant was Dewobra. Governor Cox has merely overreached himself in his attempt to trap Senator “arding. “As already stated, Mr. Dekobra was denied any int rview with Senator Hard- ing, and Senator Harding never heard of the gentleman until his attention was valled today to Governor Cox's speech. The incident is peculiarly {'luminating 25 o the methods of the democratic campaign, but the joke is on Governor Cox who has just exposed the cheap methods h's eampagn is employing.” Senator Harding, will leave Marion at 1:30 o'clock tomorrow morning on- his last speaking trip outside his own state.

The premier especially empha: d that no question of amour propre woukl pre- vent the government from honestly, feart lessly sincerely examining any project promising a settlement having due regard for the public interest, and he expressed perfect willingness to consider increased remuneration for the miners, proivded it meant a, larger output.

BOSTON HOTELS Boston, Oct. 19.—The federal grand jury was ordered in special session df October 27 by Uniled States Attorney Daniel Gallagher today to decide whether present high prices for food at hotels and restaurants involve criminal profiteer- ing.. As gn exhibit for its consideration he indicated the grand jury Swould be shown. a ‘ham- sandwich Which cost six cents to make and was ‘sold for 30 cents The announcement of a_special session followed a conference with -hotel nropri- etors, who, like restaurant kcepers who were heard vesterday said there was no way in which they could cut prices and make their’ dining rooms pay. Although profits running to 3,000 per cent. on vege: {ables and into hundreds of percent. on certain dishes were admitted, they. told the ' government atforney that in most cases their eating places were being run at_a loss. “Overhead expenses,” were blamed for the condition by most of those heard. and this reason Mr. Gallagher declared to be “humbug” He added that the only overheadof - Which he saw any evidence was that the, prices were over the heads of the copsumers, and said prices should be_reduced. In his statement after the conference he said: “I have today summoned the grand jury to meet on October 27th to take up| the quostion of profiteering in foods and ‘have assigned Assistant United States At- torney ' Lewis " Goldberg to conduct thei hearing.
