EX-GERMAN SHIPS
 WILL NOT BE SENT
 .ON COASTAL TOUF
ERepubIIcan A. P. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Owing to the deliberate damage wrought by the crews to the engines and other vital parts of the five ex-German warships recently brought to this country under the peace treaty allocation, necessitat- ing extensive repairs to make them possible of operation, none of the ves- sels will be sent on an exhibition tour of coastal cities as the navy depart ment had hoped to do.
 Tn making this announcement today, the department included a statement by Captain J. F. Hellweg, commanding officer of the convoy which brought the ex-German warships to America asserting that even the dreadnought Ostfroisland the only one of the five ships capable of making the trans-At- lantic trip under her own power, was Tn such condition on arrival at New York that it would be hazardous to send her to sea again.
 Captain Hellweg attributed the con- dition of the ships, four of which, the cruiser Frankfurt and three destroy CTS, were submerged at Scapa Flow to deliberate vandalism" on the parI of their former German crews.
 '@The gutted condition in which we found these vessels on taking them over cannot be exaggerated he said. "Whal had not been stolen was wrecked. The vandalism indicated a very carefu, preparation and the usual thorough ness Of the Huns in execution"
 Expressing the belief that the Ost- friesland had been systematically footed in the German dockyard for a year after her surrender had been called for Captain Hellweg also de- .alaned the nseSence of arr slsanecessar- fly large crew aboard when the dread nought was brought to Rsyth, Scot land, indicated that the crew was sent with a view to footing everything pos sibIe en route.
 Not only did the German crews com init obvious depredations, Captain He'll veg declared, but their 'preparationi for future trouble by removing section: of pipes and valves were responsible he said, for numerous breakdowns il the Ostfriesland's machinery on th' trip across.

 Chief Matthews formed one of the posses which overlook the fleeing pris- oners near Walnut Cove. A summons to surrender, met with fusillade, and Matthews was shot through the sto- mach. Crumpled in his seat he shot and killed Martin. The negro was trailed for a couple miles by a trail Of blood which then was lost in a swamp.

 quests Hays to Make Pub lie Names of Contributors

DAYTON, Ohio, Aug. 22.-A request of Will H. Hays. chairman of the Re- publican national committee for in formation regarding Republican cam paign funds was made tonight by Governor Cox. who declared that Mir. Hays statement yesterday was not a reply to the governors charges that the Republicans were raising a fund of S15.000,000.
 T was very much gratified,'' said Governor Cox. that MT. Hays made his response but as I read his state ment it's no denial. He says the irreg- ular preliminary estimate is $3, 900, ,000. That doesn't mean anything. I want MT. Hays to tell us into how many sub divisions the country was divided by the Republican managers. I want him to tell us how many subdivisions there are and what territories each covers. and incidentally. want him to tell what the quota was that was inn posed on each district
 s.He often has spoken publicly about these quotas and the public is entitled to this information The senate inves- tigating committee will insist on it and why not have it now?"
 The governor said that in his speeches this week he would deal fur ther with the question of Republican finances. He has promised evidence to support his charges that $15,000,0O0 was the Republican Tow mark with the sky apparently the limit
 The governor today received tele- gram from Senator Reed. Democrat, Missouri. member of the senate inves- tigating committee, saying the com mittee would resume it's inquiry to- morrow at Chicago and everything would be given careful investigation.
 That great deal of money is to be expended outside of the Republican national committee fund. was stated by Governor Cox in commenting on New York newspaper reports of sub scriptions to an alleged history by William Barnes. Jr., New York repub : Iican leader. Governor Cox made pub lie a message sent to Governor Hard = ing of the federal reserve board at Washington. requesting that steps be taken to aid in moving the fall crops

 Governor Cox was informed of the denial made tonight by Senator Hard ing of the S15, ,000, 900 fund charges. The governor said that he had no comment to make at this time.

TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIre1

PARIS, Aug. 22.-Sir Reginald T. Tower, high commissioner for the league of nations at Danzig. has re- quested the allied nations to supply him with 2000 troops before he will feel justified in permitting the unload ing of munitions intended Tor Poland now being held up at Danzig, accord ing to the ministry of foreign affairs.
 It is belief of the French government that an additional 5000 troops will be the maximum required as there already are 2000 there. The foreign office today announced the removal of the gunboat Aecra at Danzig, where she will ar range for the unloading of munitions.
 The French government considers that Sir Reginald is acting entirely contrary to the spirit and letter of the treaty of Versailles, which, it is de- cIared specifically gives to Poland the free use of the port of Danzig.

 Tom Bassoff. George Arsloff and an unnamed man held up the con- ductor and passengers of Cana dian Pacific train near Sentinel, Alberta, August 2. When they had finished their work they slid quietly off the front end of the train and disappeared into the darkness.
 The red -coats'' were notified. A week later the trio of desperadoes were brought to bay in the streets of Bellevue, Alberta, by three of the police. Tn the running fight two of the police were killed and Tom Bas- soff and his two companions made their getaway into the wild coun- try of the Crows Nest Pass. just north of the international boundary. But one of the red-coated men stuck to their trail and others of the grim faced band followed the trail he left and in the end Tom Bassoff paid in the wilds of the Pass.
 Had the chase led over a years space and thousands of miles the results would have been the same the red would have gotten their man. They count neither cost nor effort, and danger is to them the spice of life. One thing only counts-"their man."

COAL PRODUCTION
 HAS REACHED PEAK
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Aug. a. Produc- tion of bituminous coal reached it's 1920 peak during the week ending August 14 when the miners turned out 11,72s,00O net tons.
 The geological survey, in making this announcement today made public figures showing production of biturn- 1nous coal since last January i, to total S24, ,S77, 900 tons, which is 4S,250, 900 tons greater than the 1919 production at the same date.
 The increased production for the week of August 14 was ascribed in part to the accumulation of empty coal cars during the strike of day men in the Illinois and Indiana fields Reports to the survey early last week indicated loadings slightly less than the preced- Ing week and the suspension of opera tIons in the Indiana field probably will account for still further decrease in production
 Shipments to New Eegland for which priority order recently was issued, are not coming up to expectations, the surveys reports indicate. Rail ship ments for New England also declined but still are 45 per cent above last years average.
 Priority of shipment to the lakes for the northwest is having it's effect, dumpings at Lake Erie ports for the week of August IA being e94425 net tons, of which all except 421 900 tons were for trans shipment to the north western states.
