Kiangsu military leaders were endeav-
oring today to placate and disperse

$4,000, 900 Sought.
BY the Associated rress.

BY the Associated rress.
CHICAGO. October 1S-The Senate
Investigating committee was told to-
day by Frank j. Walsh, counsel for
Senator La Toilette, independent
presidential candidate, that leads
had been developed indicating that a
900 or s12,00O,o00 is to be raised for
use in this campaign.
The charges became the subject of
specific inquiry today by the spe-
cial Senate investigati ting committee.
They were denied yesterday by Chair
man Butler of the Republican nation
al committee during his examination
by the Senators.
According to information which
reached Senator La Toilette practical
ly all of the alleged "slush" fund was
to have been raised in the East and
Mr. Walsh said he would suggest that
the committee transfer it's hearings to
Washington on that account. This is
known to be in accord with the wish
es of the investigators and it is prob
able that the hearings will be re-
sumed at the National Capital next
Monday.
VIII Summon GFundy.
Among witnesses in the east that
the committee will call is Joseph p.
Grundy, manufacturer of Bristol,
Pa, who, it has been testified by
officials of the Republican national
committee, has been assigned the
task of raising 100000 in Eastern
Pennsylvania for the Republican cam
paign fund.
While sitting in Washington. the
committee also will call before it
finance officers of the Democratic
national committee, who will be
questioned as to contributions and ex-
penditures by that committee in its
national campaign.
Butler Denies Charge.
In denying charges that his COM
mittee had decided to raise large
ing the last week of the campaign,
Chairman Butler told the committee
yesterday that the managers of the
Republican organization had no such
intentions and have made no such
preparations"
And that is not the only part of
my answer that / would rely upon,"
he added, because we have no abil-
ity to do it. We have no funds for
purposes, of that kind. 1 want very
much to conduct this campaign in
such a way that when 1 get through.
it will be something to be proud Of"

U. S. APPROVAL ASKED.
Early o. K. on Daeschner as Am
bassador Is Seen.

Ey the ASsociat ted Press
The name of Emile Daeschner has
been submitted to the Washington
Government by the French embassy
here as the successor for Jules Jusse-
rand as French Ambassador in Wash
ington, and there is no reason to be-
lieve that the assent of this Govern
lnent will long be delayed.
Selection just now of successor to
NJ. Jusserand came as something of a
surprise in diplomatic circles here.
1t had been understood that M.
Jusserand on his recent trip to
France on leave of absence was given
the impression by French foreign
Office officials that he would not be
relieved at present.
The French Amba Ssador for years
has been dean of the Washington
diplomatic corps and in that capacity
has presided at many of the Gus
tomary meetings among the diplo-
mats. With the retirement of Am
hassador Jusserand, the Spanish Am
hassador, Senor Riano, would become
dean of the corps. He has served in
Washington since 1913.

Servative; Z, Liberals, and l, inde-
pendent.

ing exception to family political

PREMIER rs ALARMED.
Macdonald Finds Opposition

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
ABERAVON, Wales, October 1S-
Premier Ramsay Macdonald has ar
rived here after a weeks tour. not
only tired out, but sorely distressed
over the unfriendly reception he re-
ceived in many districts where he
should have been warmly greeted.
The writer followed him from
Birmingham to this district and
premier had passed through. He
found that the greatest dissatisfac-
tion had been aroused in the Mid
land by the removal Of the McKenna
duties, while farther south, in Wales,
the miners were greatly alarmed by
the possible effect of the Dawes plan
which brings Germany's coal into
competition with English coal.
Everywhere the same story is heard.
Macdonald and other ministers are
personally popular, but their party is
not considered strong enough to re-
main in control of the government.
All Premier MacDonald's arguments
and explanations carry little weight
against the actual facts.
Criticize Russian Treaty.
Aside from the adverse effects re-
sulting from the removal of the
duties, there is also much adverse
criticism Of the Russian treaties. The
Welsh miners feel too keenly the ef-
fects of Unemployment to relish the
idea Of giving the bolsheviks credit,
no matter what return would come
from. the increased trade.
The net result of the premier's tour
has been to divulge the weakness of
Labor's case in the outlying districts
Premier Macdonald knows that every
nerve must be strained next week
Throughout the country II Labor is to
hold its present number Of seats in
Parliament. The old politicians shake
their heads when asked what will be
the result Of the election, saying. 1--WE
like Macdonald, and hope he will be
able to carry ON as premier. but We fear
conditions are. too trying to allow Of
further experiments in socialism" This
opinion seems at the moment to be
typical in the provinces as well.

HERE FOR 22 YEARS.
Jusserand Conspicuous and Much
Loved Figure in United States.

All washington-reside vote
less citizens, as we'll as those in Of
dicial and social circles-is expressing
sincere regret today on learning that
Jules Jusserand is to be replaced as
the French Ambassador here.
Ambassador Jusserand is not only
the dean of the diplomatic corps, but
has created record for encumbency
in an ambassadorial post, not only
of France, but of any other country
represented in Washington. He has
been a diplomat of the old school,
here for nearly % years, having as
sumed his office February 7, 1908.
The late Lord Bryce is the only
foreigner who rivals in any degree
Ambassador Jusserand in the distinc-
tion of knowing the American mind
and form of Government better than
7 any other foreign minister who has
represented his government in Wash
ington.
Conspicuous Figure.
Ambassador Jusserand is 90 years
old and has been a conspicuous figure
in the public life of the world for
nearly half a century, for he entered
the French foreign Office in 1876, and
before coming to Washington was
counselor to the French embassy in
London and Minister to Denmark.
1t has been pretty generally known
yor nearly two years that reports from
the French capital indicated purpose
u make a change in the head of the
embassy here. 1t has been understood
that Ambassador Jusserand for some
time has been fully prepared for the
change, feeling that he is entitled to
relief from the onerous duties of his
