SMALL CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

The Senate Presidential campaign expenditures Investigating committee. after sending members down to North Carolina, from whence had come reports of Smith slush fund in action, found that there had been raised for the furtherance of the New York Governors Presidential cam paign in that State, s3,590, of which s2.5O0 had been contributed by famous New York lawyer who was born in North Carolina. The rest of the money, $1090, had been put up by dozen or Carolina.
 This is in line with the general trend of testi- mony that is being brought out by the inquiry
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-05-26

of the committee. The evidence is that very little money is being spent by any of the Presi- dential candidates in either political party or in their behalf. The Hoover fund $S00,- 900, leads all the others by quite lot, but that is not large sum with which to conduct a Nationwide campaign. It seems insignificant when compared with the pre-conventon expend- lures of and for Gen. Wood, Gov Lowden, Sen ator Johnson and others in the Republican nomination contest of 1920, and such a sum would have been a mere trife in the famous Pennsylvania Senatorial campaign when Senator Pepper, Congressman Ware and Gov Pinchot com peted in 1926, or in the campaign between Sena- tor Mckinley and Frank Smith in Illinois the year.

If the supporters of Gcv. Lowden complain of the large Hoover campaign fund the supporters of MT. Hoover may resort that his fund is less by 50 per cent. than the Lowden fund of 1920 If other socalled 'progressives' complain, the Hooverites may answer that the Hoover fund is less than one third of the Gen. Wood 1920 fund

MEXICO HOLDS
CHURCH HEADS

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 21.-(P)-The
bishop Of Tamaulipas and three 9TH
err persons, including a priest, were
under arrest today. The charges
against them were somewhat Of a
mystery, because of official silence.
Bishop Jose Armora was arrested
with Federico Escobar in whose
home he had been hiding. The Rev.
Manuel Campo. who has been in
charge Of church affairs in San Luis
Potosi. and Prisciliano CARO-, who
was captured at Monterrey, were also
arrested and brought 70 Mexico City.
The charges against Armora were
not announced and General Roberto
Cruz. chef Of police, will decide
shortly whether to cite him to the
attorney general.
The bishop has been in hiding in
Mexico City for some time having
changed his second name to Con-
zales. Monuments found on him dis
closed his identity.
His arrest apparently was ordered
when police found out that he was
residing in the capital without COM
plying with the regulations requir-
ing prelates and priests TO appear
daily at the department Of interior
to sign the register. Those who fail
TO do this are generally considered
to be implicated in anti-government
activities

ton Of strength at the opening Of
today's market, with trading in large
volume. Initial gains of a point or
more were recorded by General Mo-
tors, Western Maryland, Radio,
Freeport-Texas and several others.
American Railway Express opened

Goodyear recorded q similar gain in
reflection of a splendid 1927 earnings

Buying orders were distributed
over n broad list Of industrials, with
rails taking little part in the for
ward movement. Accumulation Of
stocks was influenced by the specu-
lative belief that the reaction had
run its course, at least temporarily,
and that a rally was justified on
technical grounds. Bear traders
also showed a disposition to cover
some of their commitments over the
holiday.
Public utilities, motors and non
