|CALAMTY FALLS
UPON CONGRESS
WITH DULL THUD

Washington, Sept. 26.-Sam
Robinson has been the house
log man for the Congressional
Record almost since the time Ii
began publication. He is about
the only popular reporter on the
hill. Six nights a week he has
gone to the governments big
printing plant with enough copy
| to choke an elephant. He never
fell down-until yesterday.
After tramping through the
house ONCE building until he
was footsore and weary, sam
produced such a small lot of
bright, snappy items that the
editor decided not to 60 to press
last night-and that, too, on the
heels OF Carpenters collapse
and with the world series al
most at the ball fans. door.
Before the house adjourned
nearly everybody got permission
to print undelivered speeches,
and like . good reporter Sam
went to get them. But In most
cases he found nobody at home.
Not your fault. Sam" the edf-
tor said, run along to the mov-
les and try again tomorrow
! And that's Why the Record
missed the mails and why Ii
won't be on your breakfast table
this morning, with Its hot sfus
and its features.

HARDING GLOSES
GROUND IN OHIO.
LAWRENCE SAYS
Reason Not Clear,
But Democrats Not
Much Elated.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE,

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus)
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 26.-Pres-
ident Harding has lost ground in
his home state. Nobody can upon
analysis put his finger on the ex-
act reason. 1t was inevitable that
an unprecedented majority of 400,-
600 should melt away but there are
few Democrats of political sagacity
who will say it has vanished alto
gether.
This is normally city Of Demo-
cratic tendency. To win this coun-
ty often means state victory. Yet
with all the criticism of the Hard
ing administration that one hears,
there is no corresponding enthusi-
asm from Democratic partisans.
Republicans may be in disfavor,
but they haven't grown bad enough
in public esteem to send the tide
in the other political direction as
yet.
POmerene Faces Fight.
The best indication of what is
going on in Northern Ohio is the
COGIuCAt Ou oCudtOI IONCICu6 3
fight for reelection. He is per-
conally popular. Republicans by
the scores sing his praises In spite
OF the fact that he is Democrat.
Lots Of Republicans consider him
a strong man because he has re-
fused to coddle to labor unions and
has pursued a courageous course
in congress. On, the surface il
,, would seem that such a man would
have a certain victory. Yet his own
friends admit he has "a hard fight
ahead" and they are frankly
doubtful. Labor is fighting him
and as for Republican business
men they are influential but not "a
numerous at the polls. Many ol
them admire a Democrat of cour.
age but they don't always let theiI
admiration pull them away from
party strings.
Depends ON Governor Race.

DEPARTMENT HEAD SAYS
He HASN'T Been ABLE TO.
DIRECT men IN MONTHS
Confesses That Patrolmen
Have Not Been Garry
ing Out His Orders.


IT am in charge here
now," Commissioner William
H. Fitzsimmons said this aft
ernoon, when asked who is
acting chief of police Of Rock
Island.
Chief Cox left the police
station at noon and was not
there again until late in the
afternoon. Frequent callers
in person or by telephone
were told that he would re-
turn within two or three
hours.
Chief Thomas Cox of the
Rock Island police depart
ment was suspended for a
period Of not exceeding 80
days by the commissioners Of
the fire and police board
last night, when he admitted
that the department is in a
demoralized condition and
said his orders have been dis
obeyed by patrolmen and
officers during the past six
months.
The chief was called before the
board for the purpose OF being
questioned as to the events Of the
night Of July 81. when Bill Gabel
was shot and killed. Movements of
the police on that night have re-
Gently been investigated and found
to be questionable.
where were you late that
night?" the chief was asked.
"Gfnnane, Charles Miner and
myself went to Davenport at 1880
o'clock" he replied, land we're at
the police station there, comforting
with Government Agent Gosse for
nearly an hour, and we went home
at 2:30 or 3 O'clock"
Discrepancy between this story
and that Of Charles Miner, who was
later examined by the board. was
noted by the commissioners. Miner
! testified that be took the chief and
Detective Ginnane to their homes at
about 1880 o'clock. He took the
/ chief home first and then Ginnane.
he said.
| After being dismissed from the
/ council room he went downstairs
and. returning a few minutes later,
revised his story. He said he took
the two officers to Davenport s.
1870 o'clock and after an hour on
that side of the river, while the
chief and Ginnane conferred with
Gosse, he took them home at $3.50
or 3 o'clock.
! In the examination Chief Cox was
asked if the police department is not
demorali0ed, Commissioner F. j.
Mueller putting the question.
"Yes, it is." was Chief Cox's re-
ply. Its in hell OF shape"
!, Just what are the conditions?"
asked Mr.. Mueller.
THE patrolmen and officers re-
fuse to obey my orders. l tell them
to go out and clean up a place
where the law is being violated. and
they come back without having
chieved any results"
Here Commissioner Edward Bau-
ersfield observed heatedly that nc
charges had ever been filed against
any officers before the board.

Over the protests OF the prose-
cution, the defense in the trial
Of Harry POulin introduced tive
additional witnesses today be-
fore resting It's case at 11:15
q. m. A short recess was then
taken. -
South Bend, Ind, Sept. 26.-(By
the Associated Press. 1.-THE Poulin-
Tiernan case is expected to come
to an end today and it will be left to
Judge Ducomb to decide whether
the charges OF Mrs. Augusta Tier
nan that Harry Poulin is the father
Of her 10-months-old child are to
be upheld. Both sides will be given
an hour for rebuttal argument
when court convenes today follow
ing which the case will 60 to the
Judge for decision.
Following the examination OF
Poulin yesterday. the defense closed
its case. The defendants testi-
mony, which was intended as re-
fnforcement Of that of other defense
witnesses, was in effect q general
denial of previous testimony by the
plaintiff. The witness said he met
Mrs. Tiernan in the summer of 1920
at a dance to which he was accom-
panied by his wife. He said that
later the two families became ac-
uuainted and had often exchanged
calls and attended entertainments
together. At no time had any i'm
proper relations been carried on
between himself and his accuser, he
said, and DENIED that he had ever
accompanied Mrs. Tiernan alone to
places where the latter had testi-
lied he had taken her.
POulin'S Denial Firm.
AS a forerunner to Poul;n's testi-
mony, relatives and business asso-
ciates of the defendant were placed
on the stand and told of seeing
Poulin at church and at other
places on the occasions that the
plaintiff alleges he was in her
company. Throughout the rigid
cross-examination conducted by
Prosecutor Jellison, Poulin and
those who testified in his behalf
held firm to their stories.
Equally staunch in her allega-
tions was Mrs. Tiernan and her tes-
timony was corroborated by that oi
her husband, Professor John H
Tiernan of Notre Dame university
Mrs. Tiernan testified that she met
the defendant at dance here in
the summer of 1920; that later she
and her husband became acquainted
| with the Poultn family and a strong
friendship grew up between them
Wife Admits Infatuati0n.
As their meetings became more
frequent she testified she became
infatuated with Poulin and her re-
lations with her husband became
strained and were finally broker
of.

Poulin, she said, meetings were ar
