Mr.. Lucey, answering a question by
Senator Reed, said he had heard Mr.
Hoover had backed his former prea
agent, Ben Allen, in buying "The Sacra-
mento Union" and had seen a specific
denial of that story in THE Unio.!."
He had also heard that Mr. Hoo rer
owned an interest in "The Washington
Herald," but said he knew nothing
about it, He had also heard of plan
during the convention, but was in
formed it had been dropped. The $2,-
GOO contributed to the Republican Ma
tional Committee. Mr.. Lucey under
stood, was in consideration of tickets
to the convention. He said he under
stood that about 500 would be con-
tributed for each ticket.
Gifts Limited to $1,000
Answering Senator Kenyon, Mr..
Lucey said there were 20 powerful
Hoover. Contributions had been lin
tied to $1,000, because it was feared
Mr.. Hoover would disapprove taking
more, Mr.. Lucey said. In few cases
a man and his wife each gave $1,000,
he said. Mr.. Lucey gave the following
names of contributors to the Hoover
fund being the contributors who gave
$1,000 each:

All the Hoover clubs throughout the
country, and they are organized in
every state, have agreed. Mr.. Lucey
said, to have their accounts audited by
. public accountant.
Charles j. Hepburn, OF Philadelphia,
attorney and president of the Penn
sylvania Hoover Club, said he would
estimate its membership at several
hundred thousand 1t had received no
York organization, but had financed
itself, raising about $4,000. 1t had
made no effort to get delegates, but
merely to stimulate interest in Hoover.
Mr. Hepburn has recently been con-
nected with the New York headquar-
ters, he said, and he told the committee
most Of the fund was contributed by
people associated with Mr.. Hoover in
Belgium, or in his war work in Wash
ngton, or in his business enterprises
He thought fully half the contribu-
tions were made without even being
solicited.
Senator Reed inquired who among
the contributors had been connected
with the food administration under
Mr. Hoover Mr.. Hepburn named D. +
Eizzek of Kansas City, who was con
nected with the grain corporation

cal machine Taggart has headed for
many years William Jennings Bryan
came out in The Commoner for Wat
son. Taggart's declaration for pro-
hbition came few days later, and
may have been caused as much ;v
Bryan as by knowledge that the women
would vote.
AT any rate, liquor is out of the fight
in Indiana. Every time it was men,
toned in versations-except when
the switch of Taggart was mentioned
l mad to bring it up myself Indiana
vas dry, by legislative enactment. be-
tore the country went dry, but the Re-
puollcans have not had a word to saw
ABOUT Cox being wet. The issue ia
SIMPLY not beng mentioned in any
circles whatever.
The only effect of Coxs slush fund
charges has been to run the Gst of
campaigning up on the Republicans,
All the workers want to be paid more
In the old gathering place of Republi-
can leaders, the Columbus Club, which
boasts the best pie in Indiana (this is
going some), baked by dusky Repub-
llcan who has been so officiating sjncs
Harrison was elected President, thew
tell you sadly that times have changed.
1--WE used to pay SO to have a precinct
poiled," said one of the leaders. "Tha +
applied up to last election. Now the
boys have read what Cox said about a
$30,o00,000 slush fund, to use his latest
figures. and they are demanding $40
a precinct just for polling. Compen-
sation demanded for other Jobs has
gone up proportionately and when it
comes to handling the colored vote
whew!"
The negro, incidentally, is real
problem IN Indiana. Since the war the
invasion of this state from the South
has been tremendous. There are about
twelve thousand new negro votes in
Gary alone.
Tom Taggart, since the days. when
he was Mayor of Indianapolis, has
had the reputation of being able to
handle the negro vote. This always
makes it expensive for the Republicans.
New-York tribune., 1920-10-03

to vote for Taggart against Watson
want to do the job of cleaning out
Washington thoroughly so much that
it overshadows their personal preju-
dices They realize keenly in Indiana,
too, being natural politicians, that the
control of the Senate may hang on
the local Senatorial election, and every
whore this point is emphasized it is
in Watson's favor.
No Democratic orator appeals for
Taggart on the ground that the coun-
try should have a Democratic Senate.
They merely appeal for Taggart and
against Watson. So that Taggart has
only himself to fight for, in a way.
Watson has himself plus the Republi-
can party.
On top of this feeling against the
Wilson Administration is the resent
ment against Wilson and the Demo-
cratic party on the part of the Ger
mans in Indiana. IN most states the
Germans are generally Republicans,
this dating back to- the Civil War days
when Germans we're strong for the
Union. This is true in Ohio, to the
east Of Indiana, and in Illinois and
Missouri, to the west. But in Indiana
the Germans became affiliated with the
Democratic party years ago when the
prohibition fight began, the Democrats
being the vets in this state and the
Republicans generally the drys.
German Element Aggrieved
There are whole counties in the state
where there are nothing but Germans,
where German was a language taught
in the schools up until 1919 (the end
ing of this by the Legislature is an
other contributing element to the un-
popularity Of the Republican state ad-
minstration), and which up until 1918
were overwhelmingly Democratic. This
is notably true through the Sd and
4th Congressional districts, which
for the first time in years in 1913 elect
ed Republican Congressman.
The Democratic campaign managers
concede that this German vote is a
total loss, with no insurance. They
have just reached this conclusion and
have started an effort to capitalize
in the state the obvious fact that the
Germans are Furnishing Wilson and
the Democratic party for having dared
to go to war with Germany.
Many Democrats have been afraid to
take this step. First, they hoped to
salvage a part Of the vote, certainly
for the state ticket. Second they re
allied that the Legislature which ended
the teaching of German in the schools
was overwhelmingly Republican, and
finally they realized that an nvesti-
cation of Cox's record before the
United States got into the war was so
pro- German-as was disclosed in The
Tribune several months ago-that it
would not help much to invoke the
German issue.
The indianapolis News, however,
with it's usual courage, has begun
printing attacks on the Germans who
are fighting for Harding, on its front
page, and the Democrats who opposed
the campaign have mostly come to
the conclusion that they cannot lose
much, since the German vote is lost
beyond saving, anyhow
The Democrats have also faced the
loss of a considerable element of their

Policeman Must
Hold to His Post.
Coolid &c Asserts
Governor Delivers Address
at Outing of Worcester
Force; Says Man Has His
Duties as Well as Rights

WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. 2-The
views OF a policeman's obligations to
the public, enunciation of which by
Governor Coolidge at the time of the
strike of Boston police officers a wear
ago attracted national attention, were
echoed by the Governor to-day in an
address to members Of the Worcester
Police Department at an outing here
The policeman, he said, is the first
line of public defense; he must hold to
his post at all peril, and, recalling the
issue in the Boston walk-out, the Gov
ernor added that che cannot depart
from it until relieved" On the other
hand, Governor Coolidge said, the po-
lice officer should receive generous COM
pensatlon while on active duty, with
provision for pension to protect him in
later years.
"Soclety rests on mutual obligations"
the speaker said. eve Americans talk
great deal about the rights of man.
We talk all too little about the duties
of man. One mans rights are another
mans duties Unless duties are OBJ
served there can be no enjoyment of
rights. There can be no freedom with
out corresponding restraint. This is
no condition made or imposed by men;
it is the result of the condition into
which men are born. Put in legal
terms, it is the constitution of the uni
verse. Man cannot change it. His
nature requires that he observe it or
perish.
"The duties which are required of
men depend on their free choice. That
choice is exercised by the adoption Of
profession. a
"The duties which police officer
owes to the state are of most exact
ing nature. No one is compelled to
choose the profession Of police Off
obliged to perform it's duties and live
up to the standard of its requirements.
TO join in that high enterprise means
the surrender of much individual free
dom"
The Governor said that a police
mans obligations follow those of SOL
der. The chief one is submission to
discipline" he said. "The rules and
regulations of the department must be
obeyed. There must be intelligence
and courage and firm loyalty to the
force. The police officer has chosen a
profession that he must hold to at all
peril. He is the outpost af civiliza-
ton
"Where the law gees, there civiliza-
tion goes and stays. When the law
fails barbarfsm flourshes. Whoever
scouts tne law, whoever brings it into
disrespect, whoever connives at it's eva
sion, is an enemy of civilization.
Change it if you will-that is, to abide
by it-but observe it always That is
government. And government is no
less government because it is self-im-
posed. The majesty of the law is no
idle phrase, for it imparts sovereignty
to him who observes it and servitude
TO him who violates it. The policeman
is the outward symbol of the law"

Representatives of practically every

the commission while the question OF
what rate increases are to be granted
is threshed out

commission by the carriers and which
from the basis for the hearing set
forth that in order to make an income
Of per cent the earnings of all the
roads must be increased by $1,017,0 00,-
600. To provide this additional sum,
the roads have recommended that
rates in the Eastern group be adj

per cent addition in income; in the
South 800 per cent for 20.7 per cent
larger return; and in the Western
group 23.9 per cent to yield an advance
of II per cent in revenue.
Means Of arriving at the valuation
of railroad properties are expected to
be the subject of considerable argu-
ment during the hearings. Carriers
contend that the per cent return
should be based upon the property in

shippers and state commissioners have
objected on the ground that the "book

TO END EUROPEAN AID
No More Financial Support From
U. S. to Allies and Germany.
Cabinet Decision Reported to Ee That
Europe Must Work Out Her
Own Recovery.

Washington-Pres Wilson and
his cabinet have decided that the AL
lies and Germany must work out their
financial recovery unaided further by
the United States, it was reported by
officials
This decision is understood to have
been reported at the last cabinet meet
ing. 1t is believed to have been pre-
cipitated by the financial agreement
arrived at between Premier Lloyd
George Of Great Britain and Premier
Millerand of France at Hythe, Eng.
This agreement would involve the
United States. The following provi-
sions are regarded as Uncomfortable"
by this government:
That the inter-Allied debts, such as
the French debt to Great Britain, Of
billions of dollars be liquidated only as
Germany pays off her indemnity. This
system would react against the United
States, it is held, holding up the liqui-
dation Of Great Britain's debt of bill
lions of dollars to the United States.
That there be capitalization" Of
Germanys indemnity obligations, pre-
sumably before the fotation of the
German bond issue, the bonds to be
discounted by the United States in or
der to give Germany the funds neces-
sary for the resumption of her eco
nomic life and to prevent the spread
of bolshevism throughout central Eu-
rome
Both the proposals, it is believed
here, in effect would put the United
States in position of underwriting
the German indemnity, said to have
been set tentatively by the Allies at
thirty billion dollars
