HAVE NO EVIDENCE
FOR COX'S CHARGES
Democratic National Chairman Tells
Senate Committee He Knows
No Proof of Charges.

Chicago-George White, chairman of
the Democratic national committee,
said on the stand today before the
Senate subcommittee investigating
campaign funds, that he had no evil
dence to sustain any one of the charges
made by Governor Cox, his party's
nominee for the presidency, as to the
alleged list of campaign fund quotas
for the Republican party's campaign
fund or of the alleged desire "of con-
tributors to have back of them in in
dustrial centers the bayonets of their
puppets in Office" He told Chairman
Kenyon of the committee, that he be-
lieved the charges were true because
he had confidence in Governor Cox but
that he had not discussed them with
Governor Cox and brought nothing
from him to aid the committee in
sitting the charges.
'I talked with Governor Cox last
Sunday for a few minutes said the
witness. 81 asked him Are you sure
Of your ground?' He said he was,
and told him You are the boss and
you run it,"
Senator Kenyon then asked Mr..
White if he did not consider it the
duty of men who have this evidence, if
it exists, to give it to the committee
whether they were presidential candi-
dates or not. When the witness did
not reply Immediately Chairman Ken
yon said he realized that the answer
ing Of the query might prove embar-
RAISING because of the relations exist
ing between Mr.. White and Governor
Cox and said that he would not press
him for an answer. Senator Kenyon

True to their agreement made at the
last meeting of their organization, the
union painters of Kenosha did not 90
to work this morning in support Of
their demand for an increase in wages
from $1.OO to $1.25 an hour. Prae-
tically every painter in Kenosha
took the half holiday" and gathered
for the meeting at the office of the
Building Trades Council to formulate
the agreement upon which they would
return to work.
Richard Griffith, business agent of
the council, declared Just after noon
today that seven of the contractors had
already signed a new agreement grant
ing the increase asked and that a large
number of the union painters employed
on work under contract by these men
would return to work this afternoon.
1t was admitted that several Of tho
contractors were still remaining firm
on their refusal to meet the big in

Contractors Offer Compromise.
On the eve of the strike, the con
tractors met last evening and agreed
to offer the union painters an increase
in wages to S1.121z an hour to become

ran west on Broad street, firing the

Nader, the thief ran west along Broad

1t was very dark at the crossing and
it is believed that the man managed
to get into some building in the neigh
borhood. Later a search was made but
no trace of the thief could be found.
The bag of cement which he had
stolen was dropped when the police
officer gave the command to halt. The
police have only a meagre description
of the fellow. The fact that he was
armed seems to indicate that he had
gone about the robbery prepared to
protect himself against police inter-

FULLY SPEAKS
IN OWN DEFENSE
Juvenile Judge Gives Out
Statement Relative to
His Actions.
ACTED UNDER THE LAW

James E. Tully, judge Of the juve-
nile court, gave out statement on
Tuesday afternoon relative to his ac
tions in the case of the dismissal of
Miss Laura Hahn as probation officer.
The statement of Judge Tully follows:
"Kenosha Evening News:
81 dislike very much to take part
in any newspaper discussion and, I'M
less compelled to do so, always try to
avoid the publicity connected there
with Every article in newspaper
is, in nearly every case, the opinion
of the newspaper writer, only, and
unless the public hear something to
the contrary, such article is by many
presumed to be true.
"Relative to the matter of the re-
moval and discharge Of the probation
officer Of this county, while I have
been criticized for acting as the com
plainant, district attorney, complain
ing witness and judge in the DISPOSE
ton of such case, under the laws of
this state in such cases there is no
other way in which the matter may be
handled In providing for the remov
al Of nearly every other appointive
county officer, the appointing power
is given the right to remove such Of
ficer at pleasure, without cause; how
ever. so far as probation officers are
concerned, the removing power must
show cause for such removal, the
course pursued in this particular mat
ter.
"The matter of the removal Of the
probation officer has, indeed, been very
unpleasant so far as am concerned,
and the action taken by me was decid-
ed upon only as a last resort. While
some people would like to have it ap-
pear that the controversy in question
was a personal one, want to say that
the course followed in the matter was
one in which the Municipal court of
Kenosha county and the best interests
OF the probation department only, were
concerned.

HAPPY CRIPPLE
ASKS DAMAGES
Alva Vieau. Three Years,
Asks $4,000 Damagesof
Northwestern Ry. Co.
ONE FOOT CUT OFF

Through his attorney, E. Leslie Cole
Of Chicago and by guardian, Henry
j. Nyland, Alva Vieau, aged three
years and known as the Happy Little
Cripple" has filed an action in the cir
cult court demanding damages in the
amount of S35, 900 from the Northwest
ern Railway company. The action for
occurred on the afternoon Of May 9th,
last, when the little boy was caught
under the wheels of a Northwestern
train between Prairie avenue and
Newell street and his right foot was so
mangled as to make it necessary to
amputate it. The suit has one of the
largest demands for damages ever
asked in the courts Of Kenosha county
and it is expected that it will COME up
for trial at the next term of the cir
cult court. 1t is said that efforts to
settle the claim of the boy out of court
have been refused.
The little boy was playing along the
track at the time the accident occurred
and none of the railway men seemed
to have any information as to just how
he happened to be injured. With his
right leg badly mangled, he was found
along the right-of way and taken to
the Kenosha hospital. He was in the
hospital for many weeks and be bore
his affliction with such fortitude that
he came to be known as "the happy
little cripple"
The big claim for damages is based
on the age Of the child and it is claim
ed in the action that he is largely in
capacitated for work on account of the
injury.
