COX PLEDGES ACTION FOR
IRELAND IN THE LEAGUE

SPOKANE. Wash, Sept. TO-
Governor Cox, Democratic nominee
for. President had a busy day when
he arrived in Eastern Washington
this morning. Fresh from a siren
uous day in Montana, where he ad-
dressed gatherings at Butte. and
Anaconda and where he declared
he would present the Irish cause
to the league of nations in the
event of election, the governor was
on the program for a speech at the
Spokane Union Station, where he
was scheduled to devote fifteen
minute address to first voters: for
a conference with Washington
hour at the Spokane Intra-State
at the Spokane Intra-State Fair
Fair Grounds and then to deliver
special speeches from his train.
In his address in Montana last
night, both at Butte and Anaconda,
the nominee continued his attacks
on the Republican campaign funds.
He stated that Will Hays, chairman
of the Republican national commit
tee should resign and that he con-
tinued to press for the resignation
of the Republican campaign man
ager.
The governor declared the COM
plete testimony had confirmed his
slush fund charges.
Discussing the Irish question
Gov. Cox said:
"It would be my duty as friend
every member of the league to pre-
sent the Irish cause to the atten-
ton of the league under authority
given under Article XI and give to
ireland or any other agrieved peo-
ple the opportunity to plead their
cause before the bar of civilized
OOinion" "

7,220 ATTEND
PUBLIC SCHOOL
Is 20 More Than Were Enroll
ed Last Year. Increase not
Expected by Officials.

The enrolment of public school
pupils in this city numbers 1920,
or just twenty more than last year,
according to the books this morn
ing. The authorities did not expect
that the enrolment this year would
show an increase in the attendance,
for records show that very few
families have moved into the city
since the school closed in June. Be-
sides this condition, the new Holy
Trinity parochial school built on
Laurie street has already enrolled
tended public school had not the
new school been erected. Thus far
there have also been issued $50
work papers to children under six
teen.
In the high school building, there
are now $50 students. 565 of whom
take high school work, and 124 are
in the grammar school department.
The continuation school students
are slowly struggling in for registra-
tion. Many of the smaller employers
did not know of continuation school
requirements and failed to have the
children between fourteen and six
teen whom they employed, report
for the new classes. 1t is found,
however, that the larger industries
Of the city have complied with the
law and their employees who quail
fed have reported. At the present
time, there are about fifty children
on the continuation school lists who
have not yet shown up for registra-
ton.

JOB PULLED IN THIS CITY

George Wright, the forger arrest
ed in this city last week by Patroi-
men Charles Jorgenson and William
Buchan. pleaded guilty to the two
indictments against him in the coun-
ty court this morning, and the case
was placed IN the hands of the pro-
baton officer to investigate. Wright
who has served several terms in the
west. and has pulled numerous jobs
all over the country, confessed to
Detective Sergeant Lawrence Long,
aftef ms ffnger prints had beer
taken to the Identification bureau in
New York, and the local detective
learned that he had served term in
the west.
Chief of Police Patrick ]. Burke
is in receipt of kilograms and letters
from many police department heads
throughout the country requesting
pictures and information regarding
the man arrested here. Many of the
communications request that the
man be held after the local police
are through with him.
Wright has worked under a
number of names and his work in
nearly all of the cases has been
practically the same. He succeeds
in stealing blank checks from
merchants in different towns he
visits, and then passes the checks on
other merchants in the same town.
He has posed as a salesman for type
writer oil. and also for typewriter
roll softener.
