The gentleman whose likeness ap- pears above is a candidate for the democratic nomination for reelection to congress, subject to the August primaries, and his announcement will be found in the proper column of The Journal.
 It would perhaps be useless for the editor of this paper to tell the people of Independence county anything about the life and career of Congress man Oldfield, because a vast majori- ty of our people have a personal ac- quaintance with him and have watch ed his political record and are ae- quainted with that. He is product of this North Arkansas country, hav- ing been born at Franklin, in Izard county, and this section of the state has been his home al his life. He IS largely a self-made man, having re- ceived an education under difficulties and almost wholly upon his own re- sources, and every success of his life has been won by hard application, energy and edtermination.

ATTORNEYS OFFICE
Chorus and Some Principals
Asked What Liquid Was

The office Of the United States Ats

filled with pulchritude aid grumbling
to-day. Both came from the score Or
more members of the Tickle Me" COM
pany who had been subpoenaed to tel
what they knew about the distribution
of diminutivc TASKS OF alleged hooch
by beauties OF the chorus during a
performance at the selwyn Theatre on
Tuesday night.
1t wasn't that the aggregation OF
beauties in the office minded telling
all they knew about It; what dis
turbed them was being dragged from
their homes at such an unearthly
hour as 10 A. NJ. to do anything. Ten
o'clock was for sleeping, not talk
ing to a lawyer or attorney or what
ever he was, especially in a building
way down on the outskirts OF the city,
near City Hall, or sope such out-of-
the-way edifice. 1t necessitated ask
ing so many questions as to where
the place was and how one ever got
there-that was another part Of the
bother of the thing. Now. II these
Government officials would only have
been satisfied with a little chat over
the telephone, that wouldn't have
been so bad. but goodness, having to
get up when It was scarcely daylight;
that was the limit.
But the Shevlln machinery had
been at work, and there was n
lodging the thing on the plea Of it,
unusualness, so the young women and
few men OF the company got a
corps Of guides and presented them
selves at Acting United States At
ltorney Matthews office. He led them
in on. by one and questioned them as
probable preliminary to testimony
before the United States Grand Jury
What he said and what they said is
perforce, a secret. 1t evidently bored
some of the young women, for they
looked that way when they came out
No doubt they wished they had beer

report at the ONCE at noon or
o'clock, at which time they NoulC
have been wide awake.
One of the young women in the
early detachment was Marguerite
Gender. the pr!rua donna of the show
She attracted sc much attention from
newspaper photographers that sh'
broke all the press agents rules by
making q getaway through another

"Mr. Sander, I'm not Influenced by

The attorney for Mrs. Pollock, who

piled:

DECLARES TORSO :
OF WOMAN DRIFTED
FROM EAST RIVER
jersey City Police Head Seeks
Light on Death Threats
to Missing Girls.
CLUE IN BEDFORD.
Doctor Goes to See if Ampu-
tated Leg Found There Can
Clear Mystery.

That the womAn's torFo found in the
waters on communlpaw was washed
over from the East River was the be-
Lief expressed to-day by Philip Leon
ard, Acting Police Chief OF Jersey city.
He said DR.. A. p. HaBking County
Physician Of Hudson County, was en-
route to Bedford, Mass, to examine
the amputated leg OF a Woman found
there. and that he was confident he
could determine whether or not the
limb had been severed from the torso
now in Pryor's Morgue, Jersey city.
Chief Leonard said he was positive
the torso had not been carried down
the North River but had been washed
around from the East River by n
strong current which skirts the Bat
terry. striking at n point on the Jer-
sey shore, 200 feet south OF the south
ernmost tip Of Manhattan. All the
driftwood there IL from the East
River. The Acting Chief requested
the newspapers TO invite all persons
who have information about women
disappearing after death threats to
notify the police.
Two well-dressed young men at
different times to-day viewed the
torso. One said It resembled that OF
his wife, who had disappeared. The
second man became confused under
questioning and went away.
The torso had been In the river for
months, the autopsy showed. and was
well preserved. which led the investl-
gators to believe that the murderer
hid the body in a receptacle contain
ing n preservative fluid for possibly
weeks before he found an opportunity
70 dismernber and dispose OF the body.
The murderer operated In close quar-
ters, possibly a bathroom. aS tho
work was done crudely and his posi-
tion evidently was cramped. The saw
used was fine-toothed. The age OF
the woman, DR.. Haskins said. was
between twenty and forty. and she
apparently weighed about 1870
pounds.
John II. Domrosky, No. 55S West
lsAth Street, visited the morgue to
inquire about Ms wife, who, he said,
had been missing since June 2S. He
refused 10 look at the torso. The de-
scription ne gave did not tally with
that OF the slain woman.

TO FIGHT

Counsel May Attack Part of
Document Making Bequest
TO Walker.

BOSTON. Aug. 2O.--Albert Victor
searles will contest the win Of his
late uncle. Edward F. searies who
left the bulk Of his S5O.0OO,OO estate
TO his business secretary, Arthur t.
Walker OF Brooklyn. The contest was
virtually announced to-day ny the
nephew's counsel, Guy w. Currier.
who said there is plenty OF time until
Sept. 6. to take the initial steps. He
declined to outline the nature nf the
contest before filing the papers.
There is good authority however.
for the statement that the main fight
will be TO get the will before a jury.
Under the Massachusetts, law the
Judge OF the Probate Court may send
the case to the Superior Court for a
Jury trial on the facts. Under a re-
cent amendment to the law It Is per-
missible for the court and Jury to set
aside parts OF will. This makes
possible a drive ON that clause OF the
will giving to Walker the great bulk
OF the estate.
Because OF the feeling against
Searles in Methuen and surrounding
territory and his general reputation
Of being queer" Ropes. Gray, Cor
ham g. Perkins, local counsel for the
viii, may be expected to use every
effort to have the instrument passed
upon without the assistance OF Jury.
Searles's feeling against Methuen
and against the State is reflected in
his will, in which he directs that per-
sonal property be transferred In New
York The bulk Of this property II
in New York. and that State would
have received the transfer taxes on
It irrespective OF his wishes. but the
instruction shows the persistency
with which Ne held the grudge ac-
qulred when the Massachusetts, State
authorities insisted he pay more
taxes than the local authorities were
imposing.

CITY IS IN DEBT
ABOUT TWICE ITS
BORROWING POWER
Funded Indebtedness July I
Amounted to St,561, ,7o9,-
687, According to Craig.


Comptroller Charles L. Craig has
just issued for the Information OF
city officials, bankers and investors
and others interested in compre-
hensive statement showing the In
debtedness OF the City of New York
and the oity's -incurTlpg power
on July ! Of this year II shows that
New York has a credit inside the debt
limit Of nearly i35,OOO. 900.
The real estate assessment OF the
city, the value OF real estate for tax
alton purposes for 1920 is 3s,62s,121.-
7o7 Under the law the city ds allowed
to dnour debts within the so-called
dsnJt limit TO the extent OF 10 per
cent. OF the assessed valuation Of
taxable real estate. Ten per cent. OF
the real estate valuation for 1920 Is
SS2G,6fQ,17O.
But tho city already had outstand-
ing On July 1 a funded debt amount
ing 10 the vast total Of 1851. .7O9. .Gs7
On tho face OF the figures tt would
appear that the city ds In debt to the
extent OF about twice what II Is en-
titled TO borrow.
In this case figures are deceptive.
There are credits against the funded
debt in the way OF outstanding coun-
ty bonds, certain water bonds and
corporate stock notes. rapid transit
bonds and dock bondsd of t53s, ,S42O6s.
There are further credits In the way
of sinking fund holdings for the re-
demptlon OF the funded debt and
minor items amounting TO 1854, $50, i05.
These credits reduse the total funded
debt as It applies 70 the debt linldt TO
S724,677.21L
However, the city has other debts,
other than the funded debt, which are
charged against the debt limit to the
amount Of $66.O56,OS7. This, added to
the last total above, makes the total
Indebtedness Of the city within the debt
limit $500, ,24O, and O,7SS24O sub
tracted from the $s62,6l:,17O total bor-
rowing power based on 10 per cent OF
the assessed valuation Of real estate
leaves a balance OF 71.s7S.92O.
Another BUT intervenes. The city
in past years has authorized the ex-
penditure OF various largo sums of
money for rapid transit docks,
schools and other public improve
ments. The expenditures have not
been completed. The unencumbered
balance amount to SSs,02,14T and
while this sum Is not properly a debt
yet 1t represents appropriations which
will be spent and must by law be
charged against the city's debt limit
Therefore on July OF this year the
city could have legally borrowed,
within the debt limit, ST1.s7s,S2O. less
SSS, 9s2.l47, or f99,SSe.77S.
This information. complied and
distributed at great expense, should
be vastly soothing TO numerous tax
payersw hose borrowing capacity Ii
limited to $40 or less.
