There is no lim it on tho size, within, the discretion of tho treasurer and myself afte r con sidering both the size and the source.” Pressed by his questioners Mr. White said he was willing to abide by the judgment of Governor Cpx as to when the m a terial should be furnished the committee. Mr. White, under questioning by Senator Spencer and Kenyon, said the only example of a “sinister influence\ backing the Republican Party, w h ich lio knew of personally, was the Re publican year book being published by William Barnes. Rood and Kenyon Clash. Discussion of the Barnes book dis closed that - photographic copies of pledges of “moral and financial sup port” to the book, sgined by prom i nent eastern men, including the Rockefellers, had disappeared from the records, in which they w e re in troduced Monday. A heated clash be tween Senator Reed and Senator K en yon followed when Senator R e e d in sisted on an investigation of th e dis appearance of papers. “Do you understand th a t these pledges related only to the support of the book?” Senator Kenyon asked Mr. White. “They could mean anything,” the witness answered. “Do you think they relate to sup port for the Republican cam p a ign?” “Yes, through Republican propa ganda.” Senator Reed objected to the lino of questioning and Senator Kenyon h e a t edly retorted that the Missouri D em o cratic senator seemed to have \one lino of examination for a Republican and wants to use another line for a Demo crat.” Kenyon Sarcastic \Do you think the Barnes book is a more sinister influence than the circu lation through country newspapers of propaganda favoring the League of Na tions, such as this story ‘Unclc Sam of Freedom Ridge' and having it paid for by a particular political party and hav ing the man who reads it not know that it is political propaganda. W h ich is the more sinister,\ Senator Kenyon asked when quiet was restored. \I don’t apologize for wanting to cir- culate^that story,” Mr. White rejoined. “?Jhe editor of the paper is responsible if he uses it. H e isn’t paid-to p r in t i t ” “The Barnes book shows on i t s face who is behind it, but your “Uncle Sam of Freedom Ridge’ wouldn't show who paid for it. Which do you think is the more sinister?” “I wouldn’t know until I see the Barnes book.” \You haven’t seen it, and I haven't been able to see it.” “No, I haven’t seen it, that’s th e sin ister part of it,” Mr. White retorted.

Daniel gave his age a t the License Bureau as -46 years. Daniel said he had brought his sistor, Mrs. C. C.

The great part of E a s tern Galicia has been recovered by Polish and Ukrainau troops, who are m asters of all the left bank of the D n iester River. Pursuit of the Bolshevik forces which appeared along the upper reaches of the Bug River near Sokol continues. General Pawlenko’s U k ranian columns which crossed the D n iester River south of the City of Bucacz have compelled tho Bolsheviki west of the Sereth River to hurriedly retreat in order to avoid being' surrounded.

The inquiry developed that Mr. White had dismissed Professor H all last night, following disclosure of the New letters.

When news of the success of the Polish Mission feared its members the Polish mission feared its members would never leave Minsk alive, be cause of the danger from the retreat ing Bolsheviki and the hostility of the population of the city. T h e re was an undercurrent of ap prehension all the time Poles remained a t Minsk. Members of the mission say they had plenty of food, but that the fare was monotonous. Bolshevik officers said the Poles wore accorded the same treatm ent as was given the German peace delegates a t Versailles, and th a t Poland, being a defeated nation and asking for peaco, could expect rigorous treatm ent for her representative's.

That thoroughfare was thronged with shipyard w orkers at S o’clock. Suddenly there w a s a series of revol ver shots aparently coming from Mill Field which is the center of the N a tion alists’ streets abutting on North Street. Nearby military pickets rushed to the scene, took shelter behind walls and poured In a fierce fire, which w a s re turned by snipers. The battle w a s ac companied by the shrieking of mill and foundry sirens. Matters finally became too hot for tho Sinn Feiuers and thev were dis- loged with the aid of an armored car Tho shipyard w o rkers in their zeal to help the soldiers became :i nuisance and tho commanding officers asked them to withdraw. Tram-cars caught between the opposing forces ran' a gauntlet of bullets, the drivers cower ing over their wheels and the passen gers lying on the floor. Enforcement of the curfew ordinance last night had a quieting effect. All poreons without permits were com pelled to leave the streets ni. 1 0 :30 o’clock and ail tram-cars ceased ruu- ning n the st only a : nine o’clock. Before m idnight eet-s were almost deserted, and few persons without perm its were arrested. There were sevei-al Ores invarlous sections of the town during the early evening, but no serious rioting occurred. Uiot,s Continue Although B e lfast was far from peace ful yesterday, there was nothing simi lar to tho wild scenes of Monday. Sporadic outbreaks occurred, however, the worse being on Old Lodge Road, on the North side of the city, where sol diers fired on a mob during tho fore- nooij. Another r io t took piaco n t Castle Junction, the h u b of Belfast, where Na tionalists began an attack in the after noon, giving rise to a situation so seri ous that' troops w ere summoned. When the disorder continued, the soldiers fired and dispersed the, rioters, several casualties being inflicted. Efforts are being made, to have Uls ter volunteers accepted as patrolmen by tho police authorities, but the lat ter have been reluctant to assent. The volunteers’ claim s have .been conceded at Lisburn, near here, and the civilian patrol has been doing valuable'work. Sinn Fein police did duty in the Falls district on'M onday night, but of-xourse without the knowledge of the authori ties. They closed public houses in that part of the city during- the time they wore on duty. T h e ir work was emu lated though not in the same s p irit, by U n ionist youths in various parts of the , city yesterday. These men continued ’ their campaign of incendiarism against N a tionalist licensed houses. M assed armed raiders invaded a ball room a t the Ross Clare Strand Hotel, County Wnxford, on Monday night while a fancy ball was iu full swing. They compelled the dancers to raise their hands above their heads, after which tho guests were searched and a number of military and naval officers wore expelled. These officers were ad monished and they were not permitted to m ingle socially with, the people as they belonged to the arm y of occupa tion. Several women wera sent home on tho ground that they were insuffi ciently clad. When the raiders with drew no attempt was made to renew the dancing. LORD MAYOR OF CORK SINKING' London, Sept. 1.—Lord Mayor Mac- Swiney of Cork spent a restful night in B rixton Prison and secured several snatches of sleep. Although very weak, ho was bright and cheerful this morning.

H e .,told.'M r. Bottom lcy that, even if' ^the.v- king favored the release of the mayor of Cork, it' could be affected only by the sovereign’s personal action in the face . of the advice of his ministers, with the presumable result th a t they would resign. He declared,^ also, there .'was the furtll£<:'risk 'that!'the “country''at. large might regard .the price paid too high f o r the object t>btaihed and blame the king for- creating a grave political\ crisis a t ! a' time of special national;, stress and anxiety.” A* Hunger Strikers Not Entitled to Last Rites Says Father Vaughan London, Sept. I.—1The question has been widely discussed here recently as to whether it is justifiable to give the last sacrament to hunger strikers, i t be ing maintained by many persons th a t to all intents such strikers were com mitting suicide. Father B e rnard Vaughan, who is famous for h is ser mons and wr-ittings, today m ade tho following statem e n t on the subject: \Personally from my reading of theology,.moral and dogmatic, I should not feel entitled to administer the rites of the church to anyone no m atter w h a t his nationality, who was deliberately! dying through a hunger strike. B u t I' am f r e e to admit that o ther theologians far m o re learned than I nm, would re verse my verdict on tho subject. “Some moralists there are, who deny th a t hunger striking cannot be justi fied ; others have drawn a distinction between objective truths and subjective error. But, as you are asking for my, personal view of the subject, I give it- for w h a t it is worth without comment upon anyone who may differ from me.” 30,000 MINERS OF PENNSYLVANIA OUT Potts villc, Pa., Sept 1.—Between 25,000 and 30,000 miners will be on “vacations” in District No. 9 today according to tho reports received at tho various headquarters this morn ing.
