CLAIM LIFETIME
 SAVINGS LOST IN
 FRAUDULENT OIL

NEW YORK, June 25.-Hundreds of letters from investors in oil stocks who asserted they had been the victims of fraud were received today at the office of the United States district attorney. The flood of correspondence followed the fil- ing yesterday of five indictments by a federal grand jury against four oil companies, 10 brokerage con cerns and 50 individuals. charging fraudulent use of the mails in sell ing oil stocks.
 Some of the letters bore tales of the loss of lifetime earnings through the investments. One woman said she had manag ged to save $500 which she invested and lost and now was obliged to take in washing to sup Dort two small children. An aged couple wrote that they would be thrown on charity unless they could recover S1 500 with which they had purchased supposedly bona fide stock.

 POLITICS WITH
 |. O.P.LEADERS

WASHINGTON, June 25-Confer- ences with Republican leaders were contiued today by Senator Harding, the candidate of the Republican party for president, with William Boyce Thompson, chairman of the ways and means committee of the. Republican national committee. and Theodore Roosevelt, son of the former president as conferees. Each of the conferences lasted about an hour and were in ac- cord with the plan of the nominee to summon prominent Republicans for the purpose of ascertaining their views relative to the campaign.
 The meeting between the nominee and Mir. Thompson related largely to campaign finances, and MT. Thompson announced after the conference that on Mir. Harding's recommendation the policy inaugurated several years ago of limiting campaign contributions to $1000 would be followed this year.
 Through my department" said MT. Thompson. there has been no contri- button to the Republican national or ganization in excess of $10o0, and We mean to go on with that limitation. Senator Harding wants the financial side of the campaign in harmony with the policy of his pre-convention cam paign. The senator spent the least of any of the candidates in the pre-con- vention period and takes especial pride
 
 portion of his limited fund came through small contributions from neighbors and friends in his home town
 Teddy Jr. Indorses Harding
 MT Roosevelt came at the senator's S invitation and after the conference is sued statement indorsing Senator Harding and declaring him to be a standard bearer who would represent and unite the entire party He said his talk with Senator Harding had been most satisfactory.' Interest was expressed in political circles here in the announcement from Boston today of the conference next Wednesday between Senator Harding and Governor Coolidge of Massachu- setts. the Republican e-presidential nominee. The two are not strangers. having met several months ago when Mir. Harding was campaigning in Mas sachusetts.
 Arrangements for the meeting of the two nominees were made by National Chairman Hays at Senator Harding 8 suggestion that an exchange of views on the campaign would be profitable. 1 The speeches to be made by each of the 1 candidates in accepting their respect l i've nominations probably would be dis | cussed also.

VIRGINIA DELEGATES
 WILL SUPPORT DAVIS
IRepublican A. p. Leased WireJ


 SAN FRANCISCO, June 25-The West Virginia delegation arrived here tonight and went progressively to work for the nomination of its favorite son, John w. Davis, the American ambas- sador to Great Britain. His strength, they declared, would become apparent after the opening ballots had demon strated that none of the leaders could be nominated.
 Governor John J. Cornwell, who will make the nominating speech, issued this statement:
 Davis would be an ideal candidate for many reasons. He is one of the most forceful speakers and debaters in America. His great ability is uni versally admitted. His character is not and would not be questioned. There are no antagonisms. no objections could be urged except that he is a Democrat. The public is in no mood to vote for or elect any man merely because he is a candidate of any cer- tain political party. This is not a politicians period. A man to win this election must face the rising and not the setting sun. He must stand not only for the right but be able to make the people understand him. DavfS would be able to do that"

 SAYS ESTIMATE

WASHINGTON. June 25.-The pop ulation of continental United States is estimated at 105. 900, 900 by J. 4. Hill chief statistician of the census bureau. His calculation is based on combined population of 1406 cities and towns for which statistics have been announced.
 The increase over 1919 is placed at about 13 900 900, showing the growth Of the country has not kept pace with previous decades. Almost complete cessation of immigration during the war is the chief reason assigned for the falling off in growth. Other sug- gestions were the two influenza epi- denies return of aliens to their ma tive lands and deaths of soldiers abroad and at home during the war.
 The aggregate population of the cities and towns on which the estimate is made is 4f .029. .354. This is an average gain of 26 per cent, compared with 33 per cent in the previous decade.

DRAMATIC SCENES COME FROM EFFORT
 TO IDENTIFY CHILD
[RepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

SCRANTON, June 25-Belief of local detectives that they had located Blake ley, the 13-months- son of MT. and Mrs. George II. Coughlin, who was Kidnapped from the family home at Norristown on June 2, was Shattered tonight when, after two hours crowd ed with dramatic scenes, the mother of the missing baby admitted that child found by the police with a couple living at a central city hotel was not her baby.
 The baby is the son of MT. and Mrs. J. H. Williams of this city The scene in the hotel where Mrs. Williams and her baby were domiciled, while Mrs. Coughlin was attempting to see the child, was dramatic in the extreme. Mrs. Williams had been eStranged from her husband, according to her story, and refused to open the door of her room or allow the other woman to sec the baby, fearing she said, that it was a scheme on the part of relatives of her husband to secure possession of 1t.
 During the long barley between the women, Mrs. Williams grew hysterical and declared she would kill herself if they forced their way into the room begging them to wait until her hus- band could get there.
 It was nearly midnight when Will jams put in an appearance. As he entered the hotel corridor, an attorney was on his knees in front of the door of his wifes room, talking to her through the keyhole. Before the de- tectives could stop him, Williams struck the lawyer, knocking him un- conscious. In return he was himself knocked down by one of the detec- tives.
 Williams then ordered the hotel au- thorities to open the door and, against his wife's protests, secured a photo graph of the baby in it's mothers arms, which was shown to Mrs. Coughlin and her attorney. Both said that it was not the Coughlin child.

STRIKE LEAVES
 CITY WITHOUT
 LIGHTS, WATER
City Without Fire Protection When Power House Workers Quit - Business And Professional Men, Meet and Declare for an Open Shop; Form Asso- citation
Especial to The Republican,.

kSpeCldl lo The hepuDllcdHJ+
 TUCSON, Ariz., June 25. in darkness to- night, street cars at a halt, water works idle, hospitals without sanitary essentials, the city at the mercy of fire should it break out, Tucson experienced the domination of the closed shop, and in that experience there was born a determination fos civic and industrial free dom.
 By the light of candles and determined that never again shall the city be placed in such a dangerous and hu- initiating position, Tucson business and professional men of every class and char acter met and formed the Tucson Open Shop associa- tion. The city joined hands with Phoenix and Los Ange- les in the battle for indus trial freedom.
 Strike Act Of Retaliation
 Tn retaliation, it was stated, for tho failure to secure a closed shop con tract with the Tucson Gas, Electric and Power company, six men of the egec- trical department of that public utility walked out yesterday. Engineers of the same company joined in a sympa- thetic strike, and the city was at their mercy.
 After being entirely without light water service or power for several hours last evening, and after the citi- zens had formed the open shop asso- citation, one engineer at the utility plant, declaring that he would not stand idly by and see people die. re- turned to work and lights were se- cured for the streets and the hospitals
 The water works plant was still out of commission. At the ordinary rate of consumption, the available water supply would be exhausted in three hours, it was stated. However. noth- ing further was expected to material ize until morning when sufficient engi- neers will be secured to maintain an ample water supply for the city, it is expected.
 Situation Tn Hospitals Alarming
 With all electric fans idle. the lights cut off and the water supply fast di- minishing, the situation at the hos pitals in Tucson was alarming in the extreme for several hours last night The fear of fire was another added ter TOT. Growing crops also were threat ened.
 Electrical workers contend they arc fighting for wage of s7 a day. F. E. Russell, manager of the company. in a statement declared the company had been willing to meet all wage demands but refused to submit to a closed shop.
 Pumping plants in the Santa Cruz valley depend upon the Tucson power to keep up the irrigation work. With the present dry season, the inability of the pumping plants to run is viewed with alarm by the farmers
