(By United Pressl

Mexico City, Sept. 6.-Gen. Aware Obregon, military leader, was elected to the presidency of the Mexican re- public at Sundays election, it was virtually conceded here today as re- turns began to drift in from the bal loting. General Obregon defeated Alfredo Robles Dominguez, formerly envoy from the Carranza government to the United States. The election was the most peaceful and unevent- ful held in the republic since the days of the old Diaz regime.
 Obregon represents the Liberal Con- stitutionalists and is a supporter of the constitution of 1917, while Dom- inguez, who was the candidate of the National Republican party, favors the calling of a convention and the fram- ing of a new constitution.
 Both candidates during the cam paign declared themselves in favor of friendly relations with foreign pow CTS. Obregon promised that the pres ent Mexican constitution would be in terpreted less radically and oppres- sively than Carranza interpreted it and that all legitimate foreign inter- ests in Mexico would be protected

 Springfield, H., Sept. 6.-Twenty radicals, all of them of foreign nativ- ity, are being held here today by fed eral authorities as suspects in con- spirac yto wreck the Diamond Spe- clal,' fast passenger train on the Ill., inoies Central railway, to rob it's ex- press and mail cars and it's passen- gers.
 The arrests followed a series of raids made here last night by govern- ment secret service operatives work ing in conjunction with local police authorities Details of the alleged plot were outlined to the officers by John kona, Lithuanian, who made a complete confession, it is stated
 According to Kona's story, the party of bandits planned to go to Bissell, near here, overpower the signalman in the switch tower at that point and throw switch so that the Diamond Special' would go into ditch. Kona said the plot had been worked out to the last detail. Following the wreck Ing of the train, some of the men were assigned to the job of blowing open the express companys safe, oth- CTS were to cut all telegraph and tel ephone wires leading out of the place, while still others were to be stationed at farmhouses with instructions to shoot and kill anyone attempting to interfere with the work of the rob- bers.
 The officers said that four others besides Kona had confessed and that their stories of the conspiracy corrob- erated that of Kona.
 The search conducted by the police and federal authorities uncovered counterfeiting outfits, dynamite, au- tomatic pistols, machine guns, rifles. and other munitions, in addition to approximately $10,000 worth of goods which had been stolen from Spring field mercantile establishments.
 Only seven of the twenty men who were placed under arrest are held for direct connection with the robbery conspiracy, the officers announced, the others being jailed on suspicion of connection with other crimes.

tBy United Press)

Chicago, Sept 4.-By the time the senate Investigating committee is ready to resume it's hearings here to- morrow morning there will be enough leads available to keep the commit tee busy for a week, and to convince the members of the truth of Governor CoX's charges concerning the S15. .000,- 1000 poodle fund which he charges the Republicans are attempting to raise to bring about the election of Sena- tor Harding for president. This was the claim of leading Democrats here today, who asserted that an abundance of evidence is being secured to prove Gov. Cox's charges.
 Subpoenas are expected to be is- sued as soon as the committee recon Venes for the men named by Cover nor Cox last night when he charged that the Republicans has assessed the coal dealers of Chicago $80,0OO to- ward the slush fund. The candidates statement was in the form of an in quiry to Republican National Chair man Hays. It follows:
 II make this statement in the form of an inquiry to Mir. Hays as to whether he knows anything about a quota or assessment which was made upon the coal men of Chicago, chiefly operators. The amount was S80.00O.
 "The meeting was held on the ninth floor of the Auditorium Hotel early in the summer. The gentleman who an- nounced the quota or assessment was IJ. K. Dering. What he said was SUD- plemented by MT. c. NJ. Moderwen.
 If the circumstance is not fresh In MT. Hays mind, MT. GeorgeMcAr- tor or Mir. F. E. Fyke or Mr. Robert
 Il. Zoller or Mr. James Forester or
 MT. Rice Miller could tell him all about it. MT. Forester lives at Du-
 quoln and MT. Miller lives at Hills
 boro, III. Both gentlemen have inter- ests here.
 There were some Democrats at
 the meeting who demurred.
 Now this meeting was held and
 MT. Hays might be interrogated and queried as to whether it was held and whether an assessment of S80,OO0 was announced"

Washington, June 23-The story OF
the American expediticnary force Is
told in pictures ON the walls Of the
national museum in permanent ex-
hibit just opened to the public.
Drawn from life in paint, pen and
ink or pencil by American artists com
missioned and sent TO the front for
that purpose. the collection of nearly
500 studies detailing almost every
phase Of life In the army overseas is
spread over the walls of half a dozen
great, well-lighted rooms. 1t is a
tale of stirring action which they dis
close.
Among the scenes depicted are
ruined French villages, made sacred
forever to Americans because Of Am
erican blood freely given to tear them
from German hands. There are the
homely appealing scenes from behind
the lines with happy-go.lucky young
sters of Pershing's division in billets
mixing among the people of France,
the very old and the very young peo-
pie. Here and there are grim re-
minders OF the great tragedy in
groups of huddled dead in wrecked
enemy trenches over which the tide
Of victory had poured. Again. half
glimpsed through downpour of rain,
trudging, sodden infantry column
is moving onward through a sea of
mud as the artist saw it; or an end
; less lire of weary gun teams drags
forward the batteries to blast the
J road to triumph.
At one point the artist caught and
held for his fellow countrymen the
breathless tensity of a forest output

his covert toward the enemy lines, his
rifle hugged close with fingers clinch

Dave Stewart Comes Back

The boys Of the oil fraternity Will
be glad TO learn that Dave Stewart
OF the Magnolia Petroleum Company
is back in harness. Dave suffered a
slight stroke of paralysis about three
years ago that threatened TO disable
the veteran pipe line man OF the
world. but it was not quite as strong
as the constitution OF Mr.. Stewart,
and it is being overcome. L. A. Lati-
mer, who helped to relieve Mr.. Stew
art in the early days Of the attack,
Is now in Colorado on his vacation
and Mr. Stewart is attending TO the
full business of the pipe line depart
ment Of the Dallas office Mr.. Stewart
has laid more pipe line than has any
other man in the world and he oc-
cupies a unique position in oil pro-
duction of the country. He has often
said that he wanted to round out
his career by the building Of Il pipe
line from Mexico into the United
States, and that ambition may yet
be realized by him. There is no line
connecting the two countries and such
line is needed by the oil fraternity
of this country and if it is ever built
it will be by the Standard in all prob
ability. Mr. Stewart has looked after
oil production not only in the United
States for the Standard. but he has
visited many foreign countries. His
last trip abroad was to China where
he went to obtain concessions and to
start drilling operations.

might be asked to match wits and
eloauence with the Nebraskan In the
convention.
Although Mr.. Bryan Is expected TO
make a fight also against the admin
istration treaty plank, the general
belief of his friends here is that he
will reserve his greatest effort for the
prohibition problem. He is expected
to reach San Francisco late in the
week, though the treaty fire works
may start with the arrival, late to-
day. of Senator Carter Glass Of Vir-
ginia who is credited with holding
President Wilson's commission to write
the administration league of nations
plank.
Senator Glass is the leading cand'-
date for chairman Of the platform
committee and the general prediction
today was that he would be chosen to
that position with little opposition.
Some of the antiadministration
managers had not abandoned hope,
however, that they might combine their
forces to select someone else.
Chairman Cummings said today that
1t was still an open question whether
the adoption of the platform or the
choice of a nominee would come firSt
on the convention platform. The pros
pect of prolonged fight on a com
mittee over prohibition and perhaps
some other subjects, has led to the
movement to go ahead with balloting
while the committee sits. The usual
order is to dispose of the platform
first, however, an dthe general feeling
seemed to be that custom would be
| followed
Such talk as there was today amons
candidates seemed to strengthen the
prospects of deadlock for several bal
lots. Some of those who are In the
inner circles Of the plans said il
would be hard to conceive how the
two-thirds necessary to nominate
could be brought into one column
for two or three roll calls at least, ana
they pointed out if two or three can
didates. divided the bulk of the voting
strength among them. favorite sons
and dark horses would be encountered
to prolong the deadlock by holding &c
their balance Of power.
In the generally accepted view the
withdrawal of William c. McAdoo vii
operate to make a deadlock more likely
by distributing more or less th'
strength which had been lined VI
behind him.
Some thought, however, that a con
siderable following would vote fol
him despite his public withdrawal
while the most enthusiastic of the Nc
Adoo supporters were still predicting
that he would be the nominee.
