PROBE TURNS TO
COX'S CAMP PAICN
Attempt is Made to Show Stars

est of Democrats.
(sv Associated Press.n

Washington, Sept. 25.-With the
exception of a sub committee inquiry
into charges involving the financing
of the campaign of Governor Cox in
Ohio in 1918 and completion of its in
yestigations into conditions in Mis-
souri,, the senate committee looking
into presidential funds and political
influences had cleared it's slate to-
day when it adjourned it's sessions to
reconvene in st. Louis, October Is.
The Ohio inquiry will be conducted by
Senators Edge and Pomerene, in Day
ton, beginning October 7.
Lacking the testimony of E. H. Tai
bot, of Dayton, Ohio, who had been
summoned in connection with the i'm
piled charge made before the COM
mittee yesterday that the Dayton
Metal Products Company had taken
up a $4,000 note for Governor Cox
in 1918, the committee conducted a
hard drive toward clearing up loose
ends of previous hearings.
The hearings today were devoted to
further inquiries itno the activities of
the League to Enforce Peace; the con-
nection between stars and Stripes, -
a weekly newspaper for former SOL
diers, and the democratic campaign
organization; the Interracial Council
and the Association of Foreign Lam
guage Newspapers with T. Coleman
du Pont, republican national commit :
teeman from Delaware on the stand;
and into trips of navy department Of
ficials and employees, including Sec
retary Daniels to the Pacific coast
during the time of the democratic con-
vention in San Francisco.
incidentally the committee heard
details of what was described as
"quadrennial row" between republi-
can factions in North Carolina and
apologized for having summoned Clar-
ence B. Pugh from Elizabeth City.
Another witness told of a republi-
can fund of $500 thus far raised in
Pennsylvania, but denied all knowl-
edge of any fixed quota, although
pressed closely by Senator Reed who
drew out the admission that a second
organization-a Harding and Coolidge
club-also was raising funds in Penn
sylvania. Considerable time was de-
voted to examination of Richard H
Waldo, of New York, and it was from
this witness that a statement was OBJ
tanned that he understood B. NJ. Ba-
ruch and Secretary Meredith had
helped finance publication of the
stars and Stripes" having been 'as-
sessed' as leading democrats through
the influence of members of the dem
ocratic national organization. Waldo
said Baruch had come through" un-
der pressure with $1,000, and Secre-
tary Meredith wth $4,000.
Earlier in the day Mrs. Ethel NJ.
Parks. secretary to w. D. Jameson,
financial director of the democratic
national committee, said that she had
financed the paper on her own account
and borrowed money, but refused to
give the names of the men from whom
she obtained the funds. She testified
that she had put a total of s48,000
into the publication and held 81 per
cent of it's stock, for which she had
made no payment.

Than Pensacola.

F. W. Marsh, secretary of the Joint
Road Commission. yesterday again
called attention to the fact that
the City of Asheville alone, not taking
the county into account, bonded for
s3,922,000 and Asheville has smaller
population than Pensacola.
In a communication to Mrs. Lois K
Mayes. publisher of The Journal, N
Buckner. formerly of Pensacola, but
now secretary Of the Asheville Board
of Trade, expresses the hope that Pen
sacola and Escambia county will vote
solidly for good roads. Mr.. Buckner
declares that the cost means but a
few cents on dollars down, while the
gain in new business and new money
means many dollars all around"
He says Our paved highways are
worth millions of dollars year to our
county and section in new money, in
addition TO big saving on cars and up
keep"
Mr.. Buckner was extended an in
vitation to come to Pensacola to
speak in the interest of good roads but
was unable to do so owing to other
engagements which it was impossible
for him to neglect. He has been
closely in touch with the development
of Asheville and all county improve
ments, and in sending his message to
Escambians and PensacoIians says:
The success of the good roads bond
issue means extraordinary growth and
prosperity for the Flower state in
business, agriculture and education.
No one thing means so much in ad-
vancement of all these lines as does
good roads.
