London, Sept 2.-The condition of

He is said to be extremely weak

a critical condition at Brixton prison,

strike, will not be recognized by the
British government, Sir Hamar Green
wood, chief secretary for Ireland,

also indicated the government would
unswervingly adhere to its Irish
policy.
"None of the mercy which some
seek to invoke for the lord mayor"
said the chief secretary, ''was shown
the so policemen who have lost their
lives in Ireland"
1.-THE present lawlessness in ire
land" the sTimes' correspondent
quotes Sir Hamar as declaring. .'is the
the work of a small body of men who
are striving by carefully planned an
archy to impose secession from the
British empire on so percent of the
people of Ireland who do not want to
secede."

Governor Cox's Private Repre-
sentative Is Not Called Be-
fore Senate Committee.
INVESTIGATORS DOUBTFUL
PoindexteE Does Not Believe
Either Party Could Corrupt
American Electorate.
fRy Associated Press.1

Chicago, Sept. 2.-Democratic wit
nesses today were unable to present
to the senate committee investigating
campaign funds data on which Gov
ernor Cox based his charges of a $15,-
100000 Republican campaign fund be-
cause of the adjournment of the COM
mittee until Tuesday.
AT the request of Senators Reed and
Pomerene, Democratic members,
Chairman Kenyon issued a list of
subpoenas for witnesses, chief of
whom is Edmund H. Moore Cox's
personal representative. Moore was
here but was not called during the
brief session.
Among the subpoenas made public
are six Republican leaders, including
Harry NJ. Blain assistant to Repub-
lican Treasurer Upham.
The committee heard Senator Poin-
dexter and Herman Hencke, treasur-
er of the Young Mems Republican
league. Moore told newspaper men
he would attempt to prove that Re
publican leaders publicly announced
last January that they planned to
raise a $4,000, 900 campaign fund.
He declared $4,000 was raised in At
lanta prior to June Il by man who
later became disgusted when Harding
was nominated. and he quit the par
ty."
After mach questioning Senator
Reed remarked that after the Republi-
can senatorial committee had paid for
its own expenses and work that an
average of $4,000 of it's funds would
be available for direct campaign use
in each of 20 states in which the par
ty expected 70 wage senatorial fights
Senator Poindexter remarked that the
Missouri senator's use of the word
average" covered a wide range, but
he would agree that some states
would receive as much as $4,000.
There has been a good deal of
sneering here at the idea of its being
possible to buy the American cleo
torate," said Senator Reed. DO you
believe that money can be corruptly
used in such a fashion as to change
the result of a presidential or sena-
torial election?"
"That opens a wide field of specu-
Iation,'' said Senator Poindezter.
But so far as national campaigns are
concerned, sthe vigilance exercised by
both parties would make it very likely
that defeat would come to any party
which attempted corruption"
Miles j. PoIndexter of Washington,
recent candidate for the Republican
nomination, and chairman of the Re
publican senatorial committee told
the investigators that the $4,000 which
his committee sent E. o.. Weller, Re
publican candidate for the senate from
Maryland, was not an example of the
general practice of the committee.
There is no fixed rule or system
by which candidates are helped" ex-
planned Senator Poindexter 1--WE sup
ply funds for campaign activities up
on which we have agreed with the
candidate or his campaign organiza-
ton"
Senators Reed and Poindexter
agreed that there had been some
moral improvement in politics in the
last eight years. the former assigning
as the reason that the courts have
been in action in. some cases."
