 CHICAGO, Sept. T. Edmund H Moore, as personal representative o Governor Cox, today presented to the senate committee Investigating cam paign expenditures, part of the doc uments and information upon which the Democratic presidential candi date based his charges of a Republi can plan to raise a campaign fund of $15,000.000. The testimony was not finished but it's presentation caused a stormy session.
 Senatorial tradition as to courte- sy was strained to the breaking point on several occasions as Republican and Democratic members wrangled over the value of the evidence and at one stage just before adjournment Mir. Moore started to leave the stand, exclaiming that Senator Spencer, Re- publican of Missouri, had inti- mated forgery by questioning the au- thenticity of a circular letter which he had offered as furnishing a lead to further information.
 No man, even though he be an United States senator, can make such a charge as that against me-" said MT. Moore. Senator Spencer's dis claimer of such a charge brought his Democgatic colleague. Senator Reed to his~feet with a protest against "bullyragging." He said the entire incident was "disgraceful" and an nounced that he proposed to see that the witness was treated like a gen tleman.
 The exchange was the climax to several similar occurrences and not even Chairman Kenyon's plaint that he could not keep peace in Missou- ri." served to settle the atmosphere.
 T don't want peace. l am prepar- ing for war" pronounced Senator Reed
 Considerable of Mir. Moore's late testimony consisted of information gleaned from telegrams received from Democratic state chairman in western states.
 He told Senator Kenyon he Fhad sent for some of this information and that other parts of it had been vol unteered
 Don't you expect to give us other leads besides telegrams from Demo- cratic state chairmen?" asked Sena- tor Kenyon.
 Mr. Moore said the messages were intended merely to suggest avenues of inquiry and he said the paid em- ployes of the Republican national committee" ought to be able to fur nish the committee with the facts.
 "The object is to get those men on the stand here and if they lie, pro- secute them" declared Mir. Moore.
 You must expect to keep the at torney general busy" suggested Sen ator Kenyon. "Of course if perjury is committed before this committee the guilty should be punished"
 Senator Kenyon continued that in newspaper interviews MT. Moore had criticized the work of the committee and added:
 Governor Cox wired Senator Reed that he would produce the evidence and leads to support his charges. But through you he sends none of this evidence and you start line of evidence which it would take us a year to run down"
 Senator" replied Mir. Moore, Gov ernor Cox had the official bulletins of the Republican committee showing that certain quotas existed and that widespread plans were being carried out to collect them. Yet the Repub- lican witnesses get on the stand here and tell us these bulletins were only bull
 Then he had a copy of what he had every reason to believe was a true quota list. The day before the list was published the Republicans said there were only four copies of it in existence. Now they testify that the list never existed. It is the same with form 1O1' and we believe we can get this evidence if the com mittee really wants it."
 Besides Mir Moore there was tes- timony today also by Walter s. Die key of Kansas City and Charles Me Nider. Mason City, Iowa. chairmen of the Republican ways and means committees for their states, and by A. B. Paxton of Wheeling. who holds a similar post for Ohio county, West
