circus" Bernard Head, one of John Robinson's publicity directors explained but like the passing of the old time overland show, that condition is now circus history. Rarely do we have trouble of any kind among the laborers of other help by reason of their having pay day in their pocket. "Yes, its the passing of the open saloon that has much to do with the changed condl- tiOn.'
 Probably the most interesting sight around any circus lot, especially on Sunday is the dining tent. Fried chick en, roast pork, baked yams, black cOf- fee, ice cream and any number of good things to eat are provided, though there is of course, the added bit because its Sunday.
 Followers of the white tops who greet the arrival of the show trains are invariably attracted to the vicinity of the "cook house" by the aroma of brew ing coffee. This is the first move each day, this coffee making, and is as much part of the days activities as the performances themselves.
 How to order meat and bread and the hundred and one other supplies for the cOnmlSSary department OI Ihe DiS circus is just one of the things the stewarts has to know, but it comes from years of, practice. So must the art of cooking have come from years of practice. At least newspaper men who dined under the John Robinson tent Sunday were unanimous in that opin- ion.
 The parade-a gala pageant contain Ing all the accontrement that have endeared ciscuses to the American peo- ple-will pass through the downtown section shortly before noon Monday.

 Tracing by government counsel of the $1OO,OOO paid by Doheny to Fall.
 The laying of a foundation for an attempt to show, through the testimony of Finney, that Doheny's loan resulted in the awarding to him of valuable leases and contracts.
 The testimony of Commander H. A. Stuart to the effect that Doheny bids for Elk Hills leases were not so ad- vantageous to the government as other proposals.
 Introduction of testimony given by Doheny before the senatorial investigat- ing committee, together with it's accep- tance as evidence to show that the oil magnate at that time asked for full investigation of his leases.
 The producing, as court evidence, of the missing signature" of Fall to the demand note held by Doheny and the disclosure that the note was still col lectable.
 Presentation of testimony to show Do- heny's Pearl Harbor contracts fitted government needs.

Atlanta Servant Saves Two Children And
 Grandmother

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 2G.-Daring deatE three times, Paul Russell, negro servant today rescued from burning residence, two children, their grand- mother and salvaged a trunk full of valuable papers and escaped, except for q slight scorching.
 When the home was discovered ei- veloped in flames early today, a check revealed that Dorothy and Merle Gull pepper, aged 9 and years respective ly, and their grandmother, Mrs. z. H. Culpcpper were still in their room on the second floor. Their escape was gut off by the fire.
 Adopting the methods of human fly" Russell sealed the side of the house and entered the bedroom through d window. Shortly, he reappeared with the children, one clasped in each arm. He leaped with them from the window and then returned in the same manner for the grandmother and brought her 10 safety.
 He was told that trunk with yalu- able papers was still ill the house and again he repeated his wall-scaling feat and for the third time jumped from the second floor window, this time with the heavy trunk on his back. Just as he cleared the window sill, the roof of the house caved in. He was commended for his heroism.

La Toilette Men Expect New Evidence To Af-
 feet Election
neased Wire To The Age.Herald.)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.--with the presidential campaign nearing its end, political leaders are turning their eyes on the Borah campaign fund investi- gation here, wondering if there are some surprises which may spring from tn, box on the eve of the election, which might affect its result
 Both Samuel Untermyer and Frank P. Walsh, counsel for La Toilette, have dug up evidence which they declare, if substantiated, will affect the election very profoundly. They presented their case to the committee last week, behind closed doors, and then went to New York over the weekend to dig lit tie further.
 Both lawyers return here Monday morning to take the case up with the committee again. Members of the com mittee, meanwhile, are making an in- vestigation of their own, Senator Bo- rah disclosed Sunday. All are silent on the nature of the evidence and what will be done about it. If it is sub- stantiated sufficiently, it will be pre- scented in open session.
 Urge Its Admission
 If the evidence is found admissible, a strong effort will be made by both Untermyer and Walsh to get it before the committee and the public before the election The committee will ad- journ over the election, but will con tinue it's sessions practically the whole of this week, Borah stated.
 The evidence is understood to have been brought here from Chicago, in the form of letters, telegrams, and affida- wits, by two men who were reported to be waiting outside the committee doors at its session Friday, ready to testify. It is understood to concern the republican campaign.
 As yet, the committee has run up against but one sensation, the testimony of a negro dentist of Richmond, Va, that he had received check for $500 from the chairman of the republican state committee of Virginia, after he had refused to support the republican national ticket because of hostility to- ward C. Bascom Slemp, the Presidents secretary. The new evidence of Un- termyer and Walsh has nothing to do with this case. Though there have been no other sensations, the public has re- ceived a pretty clear picture of the way campaign finances are handled, and from whom they come.
 Continue Hearings
 While making it's decision on the evidence submitted by counsel for Ia Toilette, the committee will continue with a number of witnesses who have not appeared, who have been called in connection with the charge that bank erS' associations and other business or ganizations are raising money for the republican campaign.
 Among those who are to appear this week are Guy B. Emerson, chairman of the republican contributions commit tee of New York, and W. l.. and R. B. Mellon, relatives of the secretary of the treasury, who have been connected with the raising of campaign funds for the republicans in the Pittsburg district. %

HEROES| TO BE HONORED| BY WHOLE NATION
Double Celebration To Permeate Entire
 Continent
fRv Associateil Press. ]

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The pur-- pose of the American navy and its rec ord during the course of the nations history will be carried to the most iso- lated corner of continental United States tomorrow in the double observ- ance of the birthday of the late Presi- dent Roosevelt, and of Navy Day"
 With more than 100000 active workers enrolled and radio broadcast ing facilities pressed into service, Navy League officials declared today the eel ebration would be more universally ob- served than since it's institution. While there will be ceremonies at tOmbs of naval heroes, it was emphasized that the basic purpose was toscommemorate the service, rather than to in any way stress rthe navy's part in national de- fense.
 The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution and Daughters of 1912, with scores of civilian organizations have co-operated actively in the plans.
 Parades and memorial ceremonies will be staged in many cities, while naval units will keep "open house" in every port. The fleets on either coast have been distributed in the larger marine cities, with orders to officers in charge to receive the public as special guests, affording every opportunity for personal inspection of the ship and her equip ment.
 Definite programs have been arranged in 1,200 localities, according to prelimi- nary reports to the League, the cere- monies having special formality in Washington, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia. Charleston, s. C., Calves ton, Little Rock, Chicago; San Fran cisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle and San Diego. As in the past, notice has been given that most of the Central and South American admiralties will utilize the occasion to decorate American graves and monuments within their ju- risdiction.

COOLIDGE PLAYED
 FOR S25O SPEECH
lContinued from Page N.

(COntinued from Page D. sented to make a patriotic address at a memorial service for dead soldiers and sailors for $250 and expenses"
 President COOIidge's attitude
 toward the service men, when
 money in his own pocket was in-
 vOlved, cannot but he cOntraSted
 with the fine phrases he uttered
 when he vetoed the soldier bonus
 biII," the statement says.
 "In that veto message, he said.
 'patriotism which is bought and
 paid for is not patriotism. .. Pa
 triOtism can neither be bought nor
 sold. It is not hire and salary
 In the same veto message the Pres
 ident said:
 "Our country. has maintained the
 principle that our government IS
 established for something higher
 and finer than to permit those
 charged with the responsibility of
 office, or any class whose favor
 they might seek, to get what they
 can out of it.
 "The patriotism of a man who leaves his home and country and goes three thousand miles through submarine-in' fested waters and offers his life in shock of battle may not be bought nor sold nor compensated, but that of q vice president has its price, albeit the cheap price of $250 for an evening of fine phrases on the heroism of the sol diers who raised the money to pay his fee.
 Evidence that Vice President Cool idge did this mercenary thing is indis nutable. It is testified to by gallant former lieutenant of the army, who was dangerously wounded in battle and his testimony is corroborated by 6 minister of the gospel who was mem Der of the committee entering into the arrangement whereby the vice presi dent was to make the speech. It is common knowledge in Bridgeport. Il is explained, too, that Mir. Coolidge was sought to make the address, not because he was 1'r. Coolidge, but because h' was vice president. Everybody else do mated his 1T her services for the meet ing"

LABOR KEELING FROM RED BLOW;
 MCDONALD QUIET
Other Parties Await Ex- planation Of Expose
 From Premier
fLeased Wire to .The AEe.HeraIdl

' . LONDON, Oct. 26. Conservative and liberal party leaders are waiting for an explanation from Premier Ram say Macdonald regarding the cricuin- stances of the British note to Moscow which revealed the. discovery of letter purporting to bear the signature of the communist leader, Gregory Zinoviey, and calling on British communists to plan for the overthrow of his majesty's government. I% 4 effects of the terrific thrust at its prestige contained in the admission that the soviet, with which the social ists sought an understanding, has not fulfilled Macdonald's hopes of friend ship.
 Labor Hit Hard
 One fact staIds out in the political muddle created By the note. Labor has been hit hard and in such a manner that recovery before polling time, which is but two days away: is practically impossible. The expose will cost labor many parliamentary seats but 1t IS 1m- possible now to estimate the probable conservative gains and socialist losses.
 Premier Macdonald spent Sunday in Cardiff where he was in constant tele- phonic and telegraphic communication with Downing street. Couriers passed between the Welsh City and London bearing information of too important a nature to be entrusted to the wires.
 Monday Macdonald will speak at Cardiff. He then is expected to explain the government position. The premier had planned a restful weekend in Wales, but the note to Moscow has changed the course of the entire cam paign. He spent Sunday drafting a new speech.
 Macdonald Silent
 Since Friday, when the contents of the note and Zinoviev's purported let ter were made public, Macdonald has not mentioned Russia in public. His silence is embarrassing other labor speakers who don't dare b assume the responsibility of explaining the situa- tion and at the same time are unable to ignore it. Socialists all over the coHn- try. including members of the cabinet who were caught flatfooted by the pub- lication of the note, are stalling to give their chief time to prepare the statement expected from him.
 Some influential members of the Labor party boldly call the Zinoviev letter a forgery and in this they are supported by the Daily Herald, the socialist newspaper in London. :. When quick results are imperative Age-Herald want, ads never fail.

 They were immediately removed to the hospital criminal ward where one, whose name was given as Ling Mow, died soon afterward. The others, Fuk Ling, Yen Chung, Chin Ton, So Jung, Lung Mow and Lung Cow, are in a serious condition.
 Detectives were unable to determine how long the men had been in their narrow cells, but it was estimated that they had probably been confined in the positions in which they wefe found for at least month. Food which they had stored in the boxes had long since given out.
 Smugglers Confess
 The three Chinese arrested, Choy Lum, Choy An Lem and Chong Fot, confessed that they had engineered the disastrous scheme and said that the boxes had been shipped on the Gaelic Trinte. A search of the ship, which ar- rived from Singapore Saturday, resulted in the discovery of another alien China man in hiding in the vessels hold. The smugglers will be arraigned in federal court here Monday.
