1t is only fair that the innuendo therein con-
tanned should be answered, we believe it was
intended to injure the new morning paper of
Chicago, the Chicago Journal Of Commerce, and
the San Francisco Journal (of Commerce) now
in the SEVENTEEN year of publication, both under
the same management.
THE FACTS.
For many years there has been nsistent
demand from the great business interests of the
Middle West for daily newspaper presenting
complete financial and commercial news well
as general cable, telegraph and local news with
an editorial policy representative of the highest
aspirations and best thoughts of the nation.
This demand has grown more urgent since
the absorption Of three publications, The Chicago
Herald, The Inter-Ocean and The Chronicle, has
left only two morning publications in a commun-
ity of three million. people, and surrounding
field of over twenty-fi five million persons
At the suggestion of many of affairs in
Chicago, the owners of the San Francisco Journal
(of Commerce) decided to publish similar, but
even more complete paper in the empire city of
the West to meet the demand, giving out their
preliminary notices and advertising matter late
In August announcing the first publication for the
second week in October of the present year.
The owners Of the New York Journal of Com
merce Immediately advanced many objections
and affected to see an imitation of their paper.

PEACE RESOLUTION FAILS ID PASS OVER
 PRESIDENTS VETO
Measure Lacks 29 Votes of Necessary Two
 Thirds

Washington. May 2S Lacking 2g votes of the necessary two thirds. the house failed today to pass the Knox resolution to end the war with Cen many and Austria, over President Wilson's veto.
 The vote was 22O to 152, IT demo crats joining with republicans in at tempting to override the veto, while two republicans voted with the demo- erats to sustain it.
 Preceding final action there was an hour of debate in which the presi- dents position was assailed by re publicans and defended by democrats s. Attacking the republican leadership of congress, Representative Connel- ly, democrat, of Texas, challenged the party in control to present straight out resolution for repeal of all war time legislation and promised demo cratic support in an effort to pass it in the event of a presidential veto.
 Declaring that passage of the Knox resolution would fix the time resentative Mondell, the republican to give proof of his ability to "de- lifSi utIlpNIdlit HtlD, put IHt HfI- swer was lost in howl from both sides of the chamber.
 Later, however Mr. Connolly threw into the house hopper a joint resolu- tion providing for the repeal of ev- cry bit of war time legislation eff fective at the date of the resolutions passage.
 Representative Alderman, republic an, New Jersey, presented similar resolution. Neither rsolution is ex- pected to be called up before the summer recess or adjournment The Connally resolutions calls for repeal of "all acts and resolutions passed since April 6, 1917, and which by their terms are to be effective only dur ing the war and for a specified period after such war or such present or existing emergency"
 Only four speeches were made in the veto fight. Chairman Porter, of the foreign affairs committee and Representative Mondell pleading with the members to override the veto, while Representative Flood, Virginia, democrat on the committee, and Representative Connally, also I member, urged the house to sus- tain it.

The Davis hospital has equipped ar entire ward and is prepared to take care of 15 disabled soldiers at once Dr. J. $. Jenkins announced yesterday Dr. Jenkins has received word from John M. Holt, surgeon, U. s. public service, Houston. Tex that the Davis hospital has been listed as available It is believed that some disabled sol diers will be sent to Pine Bluff at an early date.
 The hospital authorities received notice some time ago that some of disability casese would be sent here Wards were made ready at that time, but none of the soldiers so far has been sent here.
 Dr. Jenkins, by an arrangement with the Allen Hearin Post of the American Legion and the service and information branch of the War de- partment is able to examine men in this territory on the order of the legion's committee and to pass on the disposition of their cases. Formerly application first had to be made to the department before examinations were given.
 It is probable that among the men to b esent here will be several who are suffering from wounds received in battle or from the effects of such wounds. It was indicated some time ago that cases of an important nature would be sent here, and the hospital has made preparations accordingly.

Chicago, May 29.-With the ar rival here today of Acting Secretary Clarence B. Miller of the republican committee and many national con- mitteemen and party leaders, the sim mering political pot began to boil.
 Many arrivals brought assurances that certain native sons were not out of the race, while others told of sen timent reflected from the various candidates for the republican nomina- tion for president
 Albert Perkins of Washington as- sured that Senator Miles Poindexter would be found in the running and ed to weather the storm of ballots.
 Alvin T. Hert of Kentucky, volun- teered the information that "Ken- tucky's delegation is uninstructed and no one is in a position to speak for it."
 However" he said, "Illinois is our neighbor and there is strong sen- timent for Lcwden. There will be no dark horse candidate nominated One of the men already offered to the nation as a possible nominees will be there conventions choice"

 L. D. Richards. delegate at large from Nebraska, expressed his views of the senate committee inquiry into campaign expenditures. "I think it is bad business for the republican party. 1t is an attempts to iniure the candidacy of Major General Wood by bringing before the public the un- questioned fact that primaries are expensive and make the people think that there is something wrong when there is nothing at all.
 "The men who started it are .un- fair and such statements about Gen. eral Wood will be strongly resented by other delegates as it is by me- | am sure the people will not approve this attack when thev know the facts and they will know them as they get full information"
 Frank H.. Hitchcock. who arrived today, stated that Wood leaders would be here Monday and would decide who should manage the Generals cam paign on the floor of the convention as well as who should place his name in nomination.

PrOberS Are Unable to Show What Financial Sources
 Were
REPORTER SAYS FIVE
 MILLIONS IN FUND
He, However. Declines to State Where He Received Informati0n--Oth- CTS Summoned as to McAIoo
 Campaign

Washington, May 2S. The senate committee Investigating expenditures in the pre-convention presidential campaign bent it's chief efforts today toward locating the financial sources If any of what Chairman Kenyon described as "this invisible McAdoo boom."
 August Mclean, of North Carolina, director of the war finance corpora tion, denied that he "was a sort of southern manager for Mr McAdoo's candidacy" but later related d con versation he had with the former treasury secretary, which he said was concluded with a statement by MT McAdoo that "a man couldn't dccline' q presidential nomination if tendered him.
 Louis J. Lang, reporter for the New York American, another witness, was questioned closely as to newspaper articles he had written alleging that a $5,000,000 fund had been underwrit- ten for McAdoo campaign. He re- fused to disclose names of his inform ants, but said "members of the demo- cratic national committee" corrobo rated the stories. Chairman Kenyon announced the committee had sum moned others in connection with this branch of the inquiry.
 In interludes of the McAdoo testi- mony. the committee took evidence from Frank A Harrison, Lincoln, Ne braska enwspaper publisher who said that $500 had been spent for Sena- tor Johnson's primary campaign in his state. He added that $l 300 of the total came from supporters of the sen ator with an invitation "to hold down expense because we haven't got much to spend"
 Harry M. Daugherty manager of Senator Harding was questioned about newspaper and other adverts- ing furnished for Major General Leonard Woods campaign in Ohio. which he classed as Every extensive." MT, Harrison said the same was true of the Nebraska Wood campaign.

McAdoo's friends in New York to get together upon campaign efforts notwithstand- ing the injunction of their principal MT McAdoo told him. the witnessI said, "that he wouldn't turn his hand over for it, was not candidate, and didn't want his friends to get ac- tive" MT. Mclean added that not when there was dim ner gathering to discuss the sub ject in New York. "some fool went and told Mr. McAdoo about it."

SOUTHWESTERN
 ROADS SEEK RATE
 INCREASE 32.8 PCT
Shippers to be Heard June { to Cross Question
 Officials

Washington, May 28.-Railroads of the country today closed their case before the interstate commerce com mission for increased freight rates aggree.ating S1 1,017 7,000,000 annually. Further hearings were. suspended by the commission until June ' to give shippers and state railway commits sioners time to prepare for cross ex- animation of witnesses for the car riers.
 Southwestern carriers applied to- day to the interstate commerce com mission for 32.80 per cent increase in freight rates and for treatment sep arate from the western group of rail- roads under which they are classified and which is seeking an increase of 24 per cent.
 Columbus Halle, vice president of the Missouri Kansas and Texas rail- road, filed the petition on behalf of 38 roads in the southwest with a mile age of 28,517. MT. Halle quoted fig ures to show that added income of STA ,432,457 wa sneeded to produce the six per cent yearly revenue guar anteed by the transportation act.
 Objection to the commission hear ing the application was entered by F. H. Cowan and R. c. Fullbright, representing Texas shippers, but Chairman Clark ruled that the peti- tion should he presented and that ar gument against the southwestern roads obtaining greater increase than the western group would be heard in regular order.
 MT. Halle contended that the freight rates in the western terri tory should be so distributed as to yield revenue most nearly approxi- mate to the needs of the carriers in the various sections. The 32.80 per cent increase asked, he said, should be applied to rates on all freight traf- fc moving to, from and within the as proposed, except in in- stances where the transcontinental rates apply alternatively at points in the southwestern group.
 If the commission should decline to create separate southwestern class
 MT. Halle suggested that al new group be inaugurated by com bining the southwest with the south east. These two sections are similar in the territory they serve and in the products, such as cotton and lumber, that are handled and more naturally belong together, he declared
