Own Coffin,
Waited, VIII Be
Buried In it Today

Jose Ruiz will be buried at s
o'clock this morning in a coffin
made with his own hands.
Ruiz was not a skilled artisan
in this work. The coffin is a
plain box made of pine boards
and is larger than the mahogany
kind with figures and silver ham
dies. Ruiz was a short man,
standing about feet inches,
but the coffin was 7h feet long
by Q wide. 1t was so large that
Waters & Garcia had difficulty in
getting it into their hearse. The
bottom of the box was covered
with domestic cloth only, and a
pillow was placed at the head of
the box.
In 1918 Ruiz felt that he was
aging fast. He asked for lumber,
a hammer, saw and nails, and set
about his work. The coffin was
finished. Ruiz waited. A year
passed and the coffin was still
preserved. Six months more went
by and blood still pulsed in Ruiz
veins. Yesterday the watch end
ed. The Grim Reaper came his
way.
This morning the body will be
lowered into Santa Barbara GEM
etery to its last resting place in
the box made by familiar hands.

THEATER FOLKS
HAVE 4 DAY ON
HARDING PORCH
Al. JoIson and Delegation of
Broadway Stars Call on
Nominee at Marion; Jazz
and Fun Feature Day.
10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wrssl

Marion, Ohio, Aug. 24.--A group
of theatrical folk brought a touch
of Broadway to Senator Harding s
front porch today and in a day
filled with jazz, pledged their sup
port to the republican nominee.
About twenty actors and actresses
were in the delegation.
In a short front porch speech.
the senator expressed his apprecia-
ton and suggested that in the
drama of American politics the
country wanted a change of bill to
do away with "one-lead activities" "
and to let every citizen pl9y his
fair part.
Charles Evans Hughes was an
other guest at the Harding home
today and he made a brief talk Mt
the front porch session, redicting
Senator Harding's election. In a
conference Of several hours with
the nominee and Colonel George
Harvey, of New York, Mr.. Hughes
talked over many aspects of the
campaign. He declined afterward
to make any statement.
The theatrical delegation brought
a Jazz orchestra and band of a
hundred pieces and began their
day with a parade through tho
down town streets Shortly before
noon they arrived at the Harding
home and were cheered along to
the front porch through the biggest
crowd that had gathered on the
lawn since notification day.
AL Jolson, president of the
theatrical league, did the honors
as permanent chairman" of the
gathering. He sang a Harding
campaign song introducing nine or
ten others who put on character
stunts, and then turning to the
nominee said;
"And now, Mr.. President-to-be,
what have you to say for yourselfY'
Senator Harding's reply was de-
voted to a serious discussion of the
influence of the stage. He pleaded
for a high standard for the A:aeri-
can theater and In addition to sug-
gesting the elimination of one-lead
politics he declared against the
tendency to forget American citi-
zenship and to long to become
"citizens of the world"
Mr.. Hughes said the American
people did not want for president
a "trickster or shrewd politician
nor one who would be isolated from
the current of popular thought
but "a man of courage. possessed
of sound common sense and who
has an appreciation of American
institutions.

LOVED HIS BICYCLE
BETTER THAN WIFE;
HE is IN JAIL NOW

Brooklyn, N. Y, Aug. "a
Because he loved his bicycle bet
ter than his wife and family,
Alfred Jerabeck was hauled into
the domestic relations court and
committed to Jail when he re-
fused to comply with the mag
istrate's order to pay his wife
SIS week for the family sssup-
port.
Mrs. Jerabeck complained
that, although her husband
made $40 week as a mechanic,
he contributed nothing to the
family treasury. About a year
ago he bought his first bicycle,
and the rupture In domestic bliss
dates from that day. The habit
grew upon him to go on long
spins Immediately after his even
ing meal and he would not re-
turn until near midnight. Every
Sunday saw him on the road
throughout the day and evening.
After a week or two. he tired of
a bicycle and bought another,
using up his income largely in
this extravaganza, according to
his wife's story in court. The
passion for riding became so
great that he told his wife he
had tired of her and he deserted
his home. leaving her to shift
for herself while he pedalled his
iron steed over cool byways and
new fields. /.

COX WILLING To
PROVE c. 0. P.
HAS SLUSH FUND
Ready to Tell What He.
Knows; Confident He Can
Substantiate Charges OF
$15,000,000 Campaign.

Dayton, Ohio, Aug. "a. - A
promise to prove, in his address at
Pittsburgh next Thursday, his
charges that the republicans were
gathering a s15,000,000 campaign
fund, was made by Governor Cox,
prior to his departure tonight on
another speaking tour
Governor Cox also sent a tele-
gram to Senator Kenyon, republt-
can, Iowa, chairman of the senate
campaign investigating committee,
assuring him of assistance in
bringing out the facts.
"Tn addition to my statement In
Pittsburgh" said Governor Coxs
message, IN response to one from
Senator Kenyon requesting IN
formation, II will send to your
committee such leads for informa-
ton as l possess. 1t will be my
purpose to assist you In every pos
sible way" ,
The governor told friends today
that he stands ready to appear be-
fore the committee If 1t should
desire personal testimony, but
doubted If it would be necessary
"I don't need a subpoena he
said, "if they want me I'll 60.
Confidence of his ability to prove
his charges was indicated by the
governor. His friends declared
that he had voluminous docu-
mentary matter.
That there would be little, II
any, mention of campaign funds
in his addresses tomorrow at
Princeton and Evansville, Ind.
was indicated by Governor Cox.
The league of nations and labor
questions, it was said, probably
would be discussed principally.

tions. Our friends the republicans
have gone through the formality
of adopting platform at Chicago,
written by powerful man among
them in secret caucus, while the
convention was amused by after
dinner speakers and entertained by
the band, The republican plat
form was designedly so written as
that its meaning is indefinite; 1t Is
openly stated that the desire of
the bosses was to so frame the
platform that all could stand upon
it, and I may add, without any
body knowing where he Is standing.
IL it is the desire of our republican
opponents to take to the body OF
American voters a statement of
principles which any man may con-
strue to suit himself, then we are
justified in saying that their plat
form Is to run on, but not to stand
on. The day for evasion and trim
ming in political action has passed;
the people are no longer so tightly
bound by party lines as that they
will not break away from sham and
pretense and register their funda-
mental convictions for the good OF
the nation. regardless of what party
boss it hurts or destroys.
Cox Is a Winner.
Our convention has after careful
deliberation given us candidate
for president who can win. Gov
ernor Cox is a man of known abil-
ity, proven and seasoned in eXecu-
tive position by responsibility and
successful administration. He is
ready to take his case to the people,
promising nothing which we cannot
do, and assuring the people that our
party will do the necessary things
for the good of this country, If in
trusted with power. He Is man
of the people. unafraid to leave the
front porch and mingle with his
fellow citizens on terms Of demo-
cratic equality. He is too big and
too honest to promise the people
that he will surrender the presi-
Dental office to party bosses, or
that he will take the oath to sup
port the constitution and immedi-
ately thereafter commit that fun
damental document of our liberties
to a coterie of the senate. in order
that few men in that body may
control both the, legislative and ex-
ecutive arms of this government.
Governor Cox Ia standing upon the
basic. principles Of our government.

DEMOCRATS POINTING WITH
PRIDE TO PARTY'S RECORD
DURING LAST SEVEN YEARS.
LESS THAN MILLION
RAISED BY G. 0. P.
SINCE CONVENTION

New York. Aug. 24.-Fred
w, Upham, treasurer of the re-
publican national committee,
said today that since the Chi
cago convention less than ST.
100000 had been raised by his
party for the national campaign.
The exact sum shown on the
treasurer's books as collected
for the national fund. Mr.. Up
ham said. was $944,S53s2. He
added that Mr.. Hays estimation
OF 100000 as the total re-
quired to carry on the campaign
was quite correct"
Mr.. Upham expressed the
opinion that Governor Cox, in
charging that more than $780,
900 was raised in one place, was
speaking of the state of Illinois,
where this amount was raised,
"but for purposes of national,
state and county campaigns,
combined" Ohio, he said. for
state and county campaigns, had
collected $4,000.
