COX SAYS SLUSH
FUND IS GROWING
(By Associated Press)

Boise, Idaho, Sept 15.-Governor
James M. Cox, democratic presiden-
tial candidate, stated in an address
yesterday that 'tfrom $25,000,000 to
$50, 100000" was being raised in an
effort to defeat him. In recent charges
he had put the total at about $15, ,000,-
900.
Governor Cox yesterday extended
instead of shortening his campaign
tour through Idaho. His throat was
so improved that he yielded to re-
quests for additional short addresses
in several cities.
The governor also extended his
itinerary for today en- route to Ogden
and Salt Lake City. The candidate
was still treating his throat with
medicine obtained from Portland spe-
cialists.
The governors statement was made
during an hours speech from the
second story veranda of Nampi,
Idaho, hotel and was in response to a
question from his audience as to how
he expected to return conditions to
normal when 80 per cent of the wealth
is held by 2 per cent of the people. If
so per cent of the people will forget
their places, the governor replied,
"and help me lick the per cent that
is raising fund of from $25, 100000
to $30,000,000 to beat me, we will
make the government an agency for
the 100 per cent and not the per
cent
Eight speeches dealing mainly with
the democratic doctrine of "peace and
progress were delivered yesterday by
Governor Cox.

MADISON HIGH TO
BE MADE MODERN
improvements Represent Outlay
of More Than 10,000-Work
and School Progress

Although school is progressing very
nicely at Madison High school, ac-
cording to reports, work is going On
in the various departments and stud
les are not interfere with. Indications
are that this will be continued until
the completion of the work and the
school sessions will not be hindered.
The plumbing work may be held up
slightly owing to the delay in special
material, which has long since been
ordered, and the heating system is
now receiving the attention of the
workmen. Carpenters, too, have a lit
tie work to do at the place, and when
the improvements have all been COM
pleted the outlay will represent an
expenditure of more than $4,000, ac-
cording to the present estimates. The
work now being done is virtually
guaranteed for a period of a score of
years or more, and the members of
the board believe that anything worth
doing is worth doing right.
The one outstanding feature of the
improvements will lbe the gymnasium,
this to be provided and equipped
much to the enjoyment of the young
men, especially. The plans call for
commodious building and there will
be paraphernalia which, together with
the manual training department, viii
make the school one of unusual at
tractiveness for the boys especially.
They have been desirous of the estab-
lishment of a gymnasium for years,
and it has been promised, and while
it is one of the features to be COM
pleted last, it will be proveided and
made ready for use at the earliest
date possible.

Can't Identify Guards

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 15.-Deputy
Sheriff Nolan, of Harlan county, was
unable yesterday to identify the re-
foratory guard who told him at the
station here that two of the negroes
brought back from the Harlan coun-
ty convict camp knew who killed Miss
Lura Parsons, the Pine Mountain
Settlement School teacher, who was
assaulted, robbed and beaten to death
on mountain trail week ago Tues
day. Nolan inspected all of the re-
formatory guards here yesterday and
all were questioned. Each denied
having made such a statement.
Nolan is positive that his inform
DR.. H. C. WINES, state veterinary
agent, held under guard at Harlan,
charged with the crime, but not yet
given an examining trial, saw the
guard talking to him. Winnes will
be brought here to try to identify
the guard, Nolan said. Warden Moy-
er is interested in the case not only
for the sake of what light can be
thrown on the murder, but also to
learn whether some guard has been
making wild statements.
Governor Morrow has offered $500
reward for the arrest and conviction
of the murderer of Miss Parsons.
Nolan reiterated his belief that
Winnes is innocent and that evidence
will prove James Robinson, negro
convict water carrier, guilty of the
murder.

OHIO DETECTIVES ON
HARLAN MURDER CASE

Harlan, KY, Sept. 15.-Detectives
from Cincinnati, employed by the
Pine Mountain Settlement School to
assist in solving the mystery sur
rounding the murder of Miss Lura
Parsons, teacher at the school, who
was assaulted, robbed and slain on a
mountain trail here week ago, will
request Or. H. C. Winnes, state vet
erinary agent, held here under guard
and charged with the crime, to dc
company them across. the mountain
over the route he says he took on the
day of the killing. DR.. Winnes says
he will gladly comply with the cffi-
GERS requests in order to help clear
I'D the circumstances surrounding the
murder.
At the same time the grand jury
is considering the case in all its as
poets and witnesses have been sum-
moned to tell their stories. Circuit
Judge w. T. Davis arrived yesterday
and ordered an investigation.
In the meanwhile, Investigations
conducted by the county officials have
led nowhere. Deputy Warden U. M.
Greene, whe returned from the re-
formatory at Frankfort to take charge
of the negro convict camp near the
scene of the crime, is firm in the
opinion, according to County Judge
w. l.. Bailey, who conducted an inves-
tigation, that none of the convicts is
guilty and that the whereabouts of
all of them has been definitely ac-
counted for.
Judge Bailey conducted an investi-
cation at Dillon, the railroad station
below the camp where Doctor Winnes
and the murdered woman left for the
Settlement School. Witnesses were
sworn and gave testimony. Among
the was Wilson Lewis, owner of the
gray mule which Wines rode over
the mountain Lewis came back from
the school with Winness Wednesday,
the day following her murder. Lewis,
Judge Bailey said, testified that on
the way back over the mountains
some one was heard singing in the
woods.
Winnes asked him who it was, he
said, and Lewis told him it was prob
ably some of the convicts. Wlnnes
then remarked, the witness said. that
it would not seem to be safe for a
woman to cross the mountain alone
with these negroes around, and then
asked him how a man would be dealt
with in this country who would COM
nit a crime against woman. Lewis
said that he told Winnes he did not
know, and that no such crime hao
ever been committed in this vicinity
After they had reached Dillon and the
alarm had been raised that the woman
was missing, Lewis said Winnes re-
marked that she might have falleI
over ledge of rock and broken he1
neck:
