Law Violation.
fRy Asuociatel pr,ss1

CHICAGO, Sept. l.-Onicials o. the
Democratic National Committee testi-
fled today before the senatorial COM
'nittee investigating campaign ex-
penses that they brought no evidence
from Governor Cox to sustain his
charges of 4 Republican corruption
fund, but that they believed the
charges were true.
George White. recently elected
chairman of the Democratic organiza-
ton. and Wilbur Marsh. it's trcasur-
er, both backed their candidates as
scrtion. and in addition Mr.. Marsh
produced Photographic copies of sub
scription lists to n Republican book
published By William Barnes, OF the
Albany. y. Y. Evening Journal, which,
he said. indicated n violation of the
Federal statues forbidding political
subscriptions BY corporations.
Mr. Marsh told Senator Kenyon,
chairman of the Investigating com
Tnittce. that the original lists were
either In the hands OF Governor Cox
or the Department OF Justice" Asked
why they had not been turned over
1T once to the ,Aatorney-Gen
office as n basis for possible prosecu-
tions. he replied:
Excellent Campaign Document.
we considered them an excellent
campaign document. besides we have
had them only about two weeks"
Well" said Senator Kenyon. "if
any OF the signers OF these lists have
violated the law they ought to be
jailed no matter whether they are
Republicans or Democrats"
Other witnesses today were Farley
p. Christensen, presidential nominee
of the Farmer-Labor party; Guy T.
Scott, treasurer OF the Republican
paign committees, and w. ID. Jamie
son, hoidover financial director Of
the Democratic national organization.
Mr. Jameson appeared at night ses-
sion which was ordered in an effort
to speed up the hearings.
Messrs. White and Marsh agreed
that tho Democratic Golfers were
practically empty. but both hoped for
better conditions soon. They said the
party as yet had no campaign COM
mittec, no finance committee and Mr..
Marsh added that the heads OF the
bureaus had not yet been appointed.
They agreed also there was nothing
in the budget of s3.O79.ooO presented
Monday by Will Hays. chairman OF
the Republican National Committee.
that was in itself evidence OF de-
sire to corrupt the American cleo
torate." Mr.. Marsh thought tho
amount named was not excessive for
Republican campaign, but he said

WASHINGTON. Sept. l.-Entirc
satisfaction was expressed today by
state Department officials with the
formal reply OF the Polish govern
fnent TO the American note request
Ing Polish declaration 20 abstain
from transgrcssion OF Russian terri
tory.
Poland is understood to have re-
Piled that strategic Considerations
must govern the halting OF her
armies in their pursuit Of the Boil
shev!st at the frontier line OF Poland
tentatively fixed by the supreme
council. Suggestion had been made
BY the American government in It's
note that Poland make clear that It's
intentions toward Russia were not
impcrialistic. and that her armies
should not advance beyond the chino
graphic line laid down by the su-
prcme council.
Notes Not Made Public.
The reply Of the Polish govern
ment was delivered to the State De-
nartmcnt yesterday by the Polish
l.. :
nouncement was made at the state
Department late today that the
American and Polish notes would be
made puoi!c at once. but this plan
was cancelled later. the reason not
being given.
The frst portion of the reply con-
sists OF an expression OF great!tude
Of the Polish government ut the at.
titudc assumed by the United States
IN the American note to the Italian
ambassador on the Russo-Polish
situation. The second portion. which
Is memorandum addressed Ia
Prince Lumbomirski and also which
was delivered TO the state Denart.
nent, serves as the specific reply OF
the Polish government to the Amcri.
can note.
While insisting that the Polish
government is In entire accord with
The United States in the contention
that Russian territory should be re-
spected. the note declares that Po-
land is forced to consider the seri-
Dus consequences likely TO cnsue
from the abandonment of the present
offensive against the Boishevists
upon fixed line without satisfac-
tory guarantees.
Occupies Middle Ground.
Officials of the State Department
nave described the position of the
United States toward the Polish ad-
vance is midway between that OF
France and Great Britain" The posi-
tion of Great Britain is understood
10 be that the Polish armies should
Immediately halt upon the frontier
line now reached while France has
contended that the armies should ad-
vance until 4 strategic point beyond
the line was attained. 1t is believed
the United States now takes the posi-
ton that the Polish armies may con-
t!nue TO press their attacks upon
the Boishcvists even II the frontier
line should De crossed so long ms
