BORAH ENDORSES HARDING's
 STAND ON LEAGUE OF NATION!

Hartford, Oct. 7.-Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho in two addresses here tonight gave his complete endorsement of Senator Warren G. Harding's Des Moines address in which the republican presidential nominee definitely declared for the rejection of the Wilson league of nations
 Taking issue with the contention of President Wilson, made in his letter to the public this week, the senator said that congress- under the league, could not refuse to declare war when the ter ritorial integrity of a member nation was assailed without breaking it's con- tract under Article x and bringing dis honor upon the country. He also diff fered with Professor Irving Fishers published article that the league pro- vided for disarmament Referring to Governor Cox, lie said that no man who thought six times as much of Great Brit ain as he did of America should be -eTected president of the United States.
 You have a great institution Of learning down the road here about an hours drive and one of those great pro- fessors. most distinguished gentleman for whom I have a very high regard stated in an article in a newspaper the | Other day that this league of nations provided for disarmament I feel con- strained to differ with him, and I want | to call your attention to the exact Ian guage-I want to see whether you think it provides for disarmament or not.
 "One thing is certain" he said. ''if yor had read the speech delivered by Sena. | tor Harding today in the great state ot Iowa, you would know that so far a. Senator Harding is concerned, he vii never give his influence as president o the United States to join any leagu, winch impairs in the slightest the nde pendence or the sovereignty of the Amer ican republic.
 He wants peace just as much as an, living man, and he will do anything t, secure peace that is within reason, bli he will not, as he says in this speech turn over to foreign tribunal of for eign power the means or the method b.
 which we shall protect our own rights
 or by which we shall perform our dutie
 and obligations; and he says that n
 American boy will be sent to the wars c
 Europe until the people ofs the Unite
 States as a people determine whether 0
 not they should be sent"
 It was Senator Borah's last Connect
 cut speech for the present, but he will re
 turn for three more speeches at the en
 of the campaign in support of the rt election of Senator Frank B. Brandege
 another "irreconcilable" opponent of tt league.
 > Senator Borah answered many que. 3 tions tonight concerning the league 'If the republican party is put int
 power this year will this country go int , a league of some sort or stay out alt 5 gether?" the senator was asked.
 8 "So long as I am in the senate wha ever power I have will be contributed [ keeping this republic out of any leagl
 with any European or Asiatic powers e Senator Borah replied. And I ventu e to say that know of another man WI . feels the same way. and that man c F. B. Brandegee of Connecticut.
 f The senator was escorted from Ne s Haven by Governor Marcus H. Holcom Q He will leave tomorrow for Maryland.

Govt May Delay 1 Railroad Payments
Until Final Accounting Has Been Completed - Ruling by Comptroller of Treasury Warwick.

Washington, Oct 7.-Treasury pay ments to railroads under guaranty pro- visions of the transportation act will be held up under a ruling today by Comp troller of the Treasury Warwick, until final accounting of losses sustained dur ing the guarantee period is made. Of fcials estimated that approximately $500, ,000, 900 was involved.
 Carriers already have received about s130 0OV,0O0 under the guaranty provis- ions paid in the form of advances against estimated deficits incurred prior to Sept. 1 when the guaranty expired. Mir. Warwicks decision held that failure Of any road to have obtained adequate advances was no fault of the treasury and therefore that Secretary Houston was not compelled to make further pay ments "piece-meal.'
 T think the law contemplated the adj judication and final settlement of these claims as soon as practicable afte rthe expiration of the guaranty poriod,' the decision stated. "The needs of certain carriers for funds is recognized, but this | office may not construe the law to au- thorize the payment of public money ex- | cept in such amounts and at such times as congress has authorized by law, no matter how urgent the needs of claim ants"
 To permit payments "piecemear' would entail "a never ending revision" of | the carriers accounts by the interstate commerce commission, the comptroller said, adding that it must be assumed that since the law made provisions for protecting the government where ad- vances were made against estimated de
 fcits prior to September l, it would have carried a similar provision for the gov. ernmen+'s protection against overpay. ment ht-i it been intended to make pay ments similar to advances after tht guaranty period ended.
 The decision was rendered on appli cations by the Grand Trunk Western Railway and the Detroit, Grand Haver l and Milwaukee Railroad
