M'DONOUCH TO FIGHT
TO HOLD HIS JOB
Political Skeletons to Rattle at
Graft Hearing.
Special Despatch to The Stu

ALBANY, May S.--The suspension of
Thomas II. McDonough, the State Sup
erintendent Of Public Buildings, by Gov.
Smith two weeks ago and other things
which have occurred since that time in
dictate that political skeletons are to be
ratified when the state trustees of pub
lie buildings meet next week to consider
the McDonough case.
Mr.. McDonough has announced that
he intends to hold fast" and has en-
ployed Abbott Jones, former District
Attorney OF Rensselaer, county, as his at
torney. Troy Democrats charge that
political Vaccinations of jealous Albany
county Democrats caused the suspension
of McDonough and the result was the
issuance OF statement by Patrick f.
McCabe, the veteran Albany county
leader, who attacked Charles r. Murphy
two years ago.
''If there be any politics in this case,
that OF itself isn't criminal unless some
one has made 1t So" said McCabe. III
some one has, the people have a right to
know who he is"
McCabe points out that the Nc
Donough suspension grew directly out Of
painting contract given to Troy
painter for s43495. compared to the
State architects estimate of s1s5, while
an Albany painter offered to do the work
for $3.50.
AN assignment Of a note for $3.50
from the Troy painter to the cashier of
the department appears in the transac-
tion." said McCabe. This note, I
understand. was paid out of the depart
ment's funds before the work began. The
bill has remained unpaid because no ono
in authority could be induced to APP
prove 1t. 1t was rumored that one item
in the bill called for 256 pounds of paint,
sufficient to paint a battleship."
McCabe declared that suspicion sur
rounding this transaction warrants the
taxpayers knowing the whole truth about
the affair"
Joseph J. Murphy, Democratic leader
OF Troy, had Nc Oonough appointed,
much to the dismay Of Albany Demo-
Gratis, who had been expecting the place.
Murphy~is said to have taken a stand
against Gov. Smith, declaring Nc
Donough should be reinstated.

Chester #. Tirrell Of Webster, former
superintendent OF the Bates factory, tes-
tilted that from eighty-fve to 100 pairs
Of soles were split every day. Tirrell
was unable to remember conversations
with Sears, but when asked IL Sears
ever told him these are the only soles
we've got and they've got to CO." he
said he did not recall that Sears made
such a statement.
In cross examination Tirrell said he
had no feeling whatever against Sears.
He admitted that he had been discharged
from his position as superintendent, but
denied having said that he would give
n good deal OF his life to see Sears in
Jail. The splitting OF soles continued
after he had called It to the attention
of the chief inspector and a factory fore
man, he said, but he admitted that he
had never directed the foreman to dis
continue II.
The Government rested Its case and
Thomas l.. Walsh OF counsel for Sears
opened Tor the defense at the afternoon
session.
Orders to live up TO Government
specifications and not allow anything to
leave the factory that was not absolute
ly correct were given by Sears, said
Stephen q. Sullivan, superintendent Of
the factory. who was the first witness
for the defence.
Sullivan testified regarding the ten
pairs Of shoes introduced as Govern
ment exhibit, which John w. Farley, a
Government inspector at the Bates fac
tory. declared were UNFIT for use. He
admitted faults in the soles of some Of
them, but in many cases declared the
leather was all right. the defect being
in workmanship. Ono pair with slit
inner sole Sullivan asserted was all
right, and in another instance he de-
clared the inner sole would outwear the
shoe.
The superintendent declared that In
spector Farley called his attention to
split inner soles. and he assured Farley
that there would be no more. He dis
charged a cobbler subsequently for
splitting soles, he said, and from that
time on never saw a split sole In the
Bates factory, All sole leather was In
spected and stamped by a Government
inspector before being used, he testified
None of the shoes In the Government
exhibit had any harmful defect. Sulli-
van testified.

PEKIN. May (delayed) National
sentiment has been aroused in Pekin and
China over the Peace Conference de-
cision regarding Shantung and Kiao-
chau. The press Is united in demanding
that the territory be returned unfettered
20 China.
Parliament to-day adopted a resolu-
ton addressed to the Peace Conference
deprecating the decision to give the dis
puted territory temporarily to Japan. A
boycott Of Japanese goods is much dis
cussed in official circles here.
Yesterday students burned the home
Of Tsao Yu-lin, Minister Of Communica-
tons, and severely beat Chang Tsung-
hsang, former Minister to Japan, who
was a guest at Tsao Yu-lin's house.
Tsao Yu-lin suffered a broken leg in es-
gaming from the crowd which pursued
him Chang Tsung-hsiang Is in a hos
pital, while Tsao has found shelter in a

WASH GToN, May s.-Serious trouble
m China is feared here as a result Of the
outbursts OF Chinese Indignation against
the action Of the Peace Conference in
surendering Shantung province to
Japan. Advices received at the State
Department are that Pekin is now cut
of from communication with the out
eide world, although 1t Is presumed that
wireless messages may be sent or re-
ceived Earlier advices reaching Act
ing Secretary of State Polk referred to
the agitation in the Chinese capital.
What measures IL any the United
States Government can take to protect
American life and property in Pekin IL
the situation gets out Of control have
not yet been considered. The impress
slon here is that the agitation is d.
rected against the Japanese and par
ticuarly against pro-Japanese Chinese
who are charged with having aided Jap
unese diplomacy in scoring the great
diplomatic victory at the expense of
China welfare and Chinese possessions.
TIE cutting of of Pekin is regarded
BY some here as an ominous sign, as all
eerious disturbances in the past have be-
gun in areas cut Off from communica-
ton with the outside world. The Pacific
cable to China has been cut for some
days, making communication all the
more difficult

tary OF State Lansing that all wire COM

MOTHERS OF SOLDIERS


Some writer's are taking the
war artists and war writer's to
task for picturing all Of the
mothers of soldiers are aged
and generally as worn out, rath-
er faded and sometimes ignorant
This portrait of the mothers OF
the United States fighting men
is branded as a base libel. AND
there is no question but that to
a large extent it is untrue.
But back of it all the same
pays a high tribute to the moth
ers of the nation. The artists
and the writer's are perhaps
only seeking to show that the
mothers do not stint themselves
to produce fighting men OF
whom not only they as mothers,
but the nation as a whole is
only too proud.
1t is the mothers who never
question any labor, sacrifice OF
task if the same contributes to
the health, welfare OF education
of the children. Caring for the
helpless infant, training the
growing child and guarding i'm
patient youth from pitfalls ana
errors are tasks of love which
no human yardstick may meas
ure and that is why mothers
may look older than mere years
should make them,
Mothers sometime lack the
advantages Of the institutions OF
higher learning, but the chill
dren enjoy them if long and
patient labor can secure them.
The list of mothers who have
denied themselves not Injuries
but actual necessities that the
children may be kept in school,
is almost as long as the list OF
mothers.
Thus in ibeIing the mothers
by what amounts almost to
carrictature the artists and the
writer's are in fact paying them
high tribute. If the men of the
United States are brave, manly,
loyal and true it is because they
have mothers who instilled into
them the principles Of truth,
honor and honesty upon which
integrity Of character are found
ed. The soldiers speak for their
mothers. not the artists nor the
Writers.-Wallace Press Times.

A TOWN FOR SALE.

AS the result of the war
many peculiar things have been
offered for sale and now comes
the United States government
wanting to dispose of a whole
town. The place is located near
Baltimore, Maryland. and was
one Of the sudden affairs Great
ed when a big government plant
had to provide for workers on
short notice. There are Il
modern houses in the place, a
large cafeteria, a power plant,
the streets are paved and the
conveniences are modern. But
it has no inhabitants.
So Uncle Sam is preparing to
sell the place and he is to open
bids for it at an early date. No
doubt some person or company
will buy the town, acquire some
adjoining land and proceed TO
launch at once new toWnsite
proposition.
