REACHES $s,5OO, 900
Hot Tilt Occurs Between Counsel Al
 Chicago Session.
(By Associated Pressl

(By Associated PreSS.)
 CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-Testimony that $3, 3,500,000 has been raised for the republican campaign and a wordy row between Samuel Untermyer, of New York, special counsel, and William V. Hodges of Denver, treasurer of the republican national committee, marked the opennig today of the Chicago end of the senate campaign found investi- gation.
 Recalled at the request of Untermyer, Hodges told the subcommittee under Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, that the total collections of $750,000 had been returned to the states from which the funds had come, leaving $2,75O,OO for the presidential, senatorial and con gressional campaigns.
 The national treasurer explained he had required state collections in cer- tain instances to be turned in to the national commitete so that mo man could say that he gave to the national committee and his name was not on the record" The apportionment of the funds as between the state and na- tional organizations was made an Ii percentage basis, he added.
 New Facts Scarce
 Beyond the evidence as to total col | lections, which were as of yesterday, few new facts were developed in and the two and a half hours session. Un- termyer questioned Hodges as to finance methods, his connection as counsel for the Holley Sugar company, a beet sugar concern of the west, and sought to de velop that members of the firm of J. r. Morgan and Company had been in terested'' in having Hodges accept the post of treasurer of the national com mittee.
 The session was marked by frequent sharp exchanges between Untermyer and the witness, in which Weymouth Kirk land, counsel for the republican nation al committee, occasionally joined. Kirk land asserted that the whole plan O the charges laid before the committed about a republican "slush" fund wa only bluff" and had no support il evidence.

been approached early in September by William Burch of Washington, rep resenting the McCutheon-GerzOn synd- icate, a subsidiary of the Shubert Theatrical corporati ton, with an offer to sell to the La Toilette organization for $5O,0OO a publicity proposition which would include lines worked into vaudeville programs favorable to the candidate.
 Gardner said he turned down the offer and judged they told the prop osition to the republicans when l heard about the actors calling at the White House, including Al Jolson, John Drew and Charlotte Greenwood, who were mentioned in connection with the offer"
 From H. L. Brunson of Washington, who has charge of raising contribution funds from trade unions, the commit tee learned he had raised approximate ly $120,0O0 from approximately S5,OOO contributions. He testified that most of the contributors were workers through out the country who sent one dollar and 6 per cent of the fund had been con tributed by labor unions. Replying to republican counsel, Brunson said he had not heard of any referendum being taken by international labor organiza- tion approving the action of grand of ficers in supporting La Toilette.
 Henry l.. Ramm, a railroad fire man of Lawrence, Mass, La Toilette supporter, testified he had been of fered a proposition by H. T. Drew, a former supporter of La Toilette to come into the Coolidge ranks and work among the railroad men or which he promised him $1,O00 over his expenses.
 Carl Murphy and Henry F. Arnold, editor and advertising manager, re spectively, of, the Afro-American, the negro publication in Baltimore, told the committee of banquet held in New York to negro editors and publications where they said they were told that they would get advertising contracts if they indorsed Coolidge and Dawes. They said they declined the offer and were opposed to Coolidge because of his attitude on the Ku Klux Klan.

TWELVE ORPHANS WATCH PROGRESS OF $1OO,OOO SUIT
Brooklyn Family Left Pa rentiess By MOtOI
 Accident

BROOKLYN, N. Y. Oct. 29.-From a single long bench in the supreme court at Queens today, a dozen or phaned Dugans watched proceedings in the damage suit that seeks $lOO,ooo for their fathers death.
 Lawyers stormed at witnesses, legal technicalities interrupted the proceed ings and the whole drab business or lawsuit was gone through before tne l2 pairs of eyes that followed the trlai.
 It was TO drab business to the or phaned Dugans ranging there on the bench from Mary. who IS 2O, to Kay mond, the one-year-old.
 It is very much matter of liveli- hood to them. Mary and her sister Elizabeth, IS, have declared they will keep the family together come what may. Seven children they are going in school too and they hope to go on liv- ing in the nine room home their father was paying for when he was killed.
 But the earnings of the eldest of the Dugan brood, including besides Mary and Elizabeth, John IF, James 15 and Fred 13, will scarcely stretch over the necessities for food and cloth ing for the dozen. It casts $1OO week, to feed and cloth family of 12 chil- dren and Elizabeth who was working as a telephone operator, has to stay at home and mind the family. Mary's $21 week, earned as a phone girl, is the main support.
 It is hard on the Dugans, but the defendants are trying to prove that the father was guilty of contributory negligence in turning his wheel into the path of the truck. The father used to earn $35 week in a grocery.
 On behalf of the orphaned Dugans whose mother died October 4, suit for S100,0O0 is being brought against Sullivan brothers, contractors. A truck owned by the company ran down and killed John Dugan while he was bicycl- ing hls way to work.

Newman. licensed practicing physician of 2s6 Fifth Ave nue, New York, who announces that he has perfected treatment which has quickly rid fat people of excess weight.

It is also said that fat people who suffer from chronic rheumatism, gout. asthma and high blood pressure obtain great relief from the reduction of their super fluous flesh.

 A woman nominated for governor on the democrat ticket, the first time a major party has nominated a woman for governor in the United States; an active republican campaign, and bit ter feeling over the Ku Klux klan is- sue have made a real campaign for this fall in Texas, where the midsum- mer democratic primaries are custom arily equivalent to election. t
 Republicans and opponents of Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, democratic can didate for governor, alike have joined issue against what they term "Fergu- sonism." making stronger attack than usual against the traditional success of the democrats.
 James E. Ferguson, former governor, husband of the democratic nominee, was impeached in 1917 on charges, among others, of misapplication of the state funds. A court injunction kept his name off the ticket in the primary as a candidate for governor and his wife's name was substituted. In the first pri- mary she was second, but no one had a majority, and the two high candidates entered a second primary, in which she won. :
 klan Is Sole Issue
 The ku Klux Klan was the sole is- sue in the run-off primary, in which Mrs. Ferguson won. The klan candi- date was defeated, and while the plat. forms of both parties denounced the klan by name and both candidates were opposed to the organization, neverthe- less the klan is still an issue, because many members of the order announced they would ne& support Mrs. Ferguson but would vote with the republicans on the governorship. The republicans are expected this year to poll the largest republican vote in the history of this rock-ribbed democratic state.

 Party affiliations have been partly forgotten in the United States senato' rial race in Oklahoma between J. c. Walton, former governor, the democrat ic nominee, and W. B. Pine, Okmuigee oil millionaire, republican.
 Pine, who received the support of the Ku Klux Klan in the primary, has de- clared he is not in sympathy with al legged practices of the klan, ard that the klan is not an issue in the election. Walton has continued the fight on the ,klan which he inaugurated during the primary contest. While Pine has de voted most of his addresses to national issues, stressing the need for, conserva- tiveness, he has occasionally attacked Walton's record as governor. Walton has given virtually all of his addresses to attacks on the klan.
 Women Leads Revolt
 Within the state democratic ranks rift has developed, over support of Walton, Mrs. o. H. Cafky, former state vice chairman, leading revolt against the former governor. Campbell Rus sell, a democrat, former corporation commission chairman, and bitter foe of Walton, entered the senatorial race as an independent. Throughout the state anti Walton clubs have been organized. They have mot concentrated on any other candidate, although several demo- cratic leaders, political opponents of Walton, have declared for Pine. On the other hand, some republicans who op- posed the klan deserted the Pine ban ner for Walton.
