mind to go to the bottom of charges
that a syndicate of millionaire demo
crats in New York have aereed to

rftfrnmooed.
The decision to subpoena the
democratic party leaders was made
after the committee had heard the
testimony of Louis Lang, a New
York newspaper man, who wrote
5n article telling, about the alleged
10,000,000 fund. Land said the
raising of the big fund was decided
upon at a meeting of the democratic
national committeemen in Atlantic"
City last September. He stated that
he obtained his information from
Mr. Jamieson, the assistant treasurer
of the democratic committee. Lang's
article told of reports that Baruch
and Thomas L. Chadburne of New
York had agreed to raise the $10,
000,000 with the understanding that
the -democratic committeemen drop
A. Mitchell Palmer's candidacy and
get -on the McAdoo band wagon.
.Lang declined to say where he got
this information. '
f Democrats Worried.
Democrats who have been gleefully-
watching the, disclosure of re
publican candidates' expenditures be
gan to. look askance upon the inves
tigation. They are beginning to
fear that the inquiry is going to be
developed info a two-edged sword
and "that it may hit their party just
as harrt as it has been hitting the
M , republicans.
The investigation Committee - has
decided also to press still deeper into
the; Palmer, campaign, which it has
discovered is being financed to a
considerable extent by democratic
politicians who drew fat fees
thr.augh the 'alien property custod
ian's office.' It is going to summon
witnesses'"! who"' can tell about
charges tliat wide-open liquor 'Sflling,
to go 'on in Pennsylvania without m
erence by the federal authorities

Rail Brotherhoods
Charge Coal Men With
Profiteering in War
Chicago Tribnnc-Omaha Bee Leaaed Wire.
Washington, May 29. The rail
road brotherhoods, continuing their
analysis of profiteering conditions
tor submission to the railroad labor
board, submitted through their
economist, W. Jett Lauck, that
bituminous coal dealers of the coun
try exacted a wartime profiteering
toll-? iroxn the , public, aggregating
$500,000,000. '
"With an average annual produc
tion for the three years, 1916, 1917
and 1918, of nearly 600,000,000 tons
and an average excess- profit per
ton for the three yeS'rs of more than
27 cents, it is apparent that coal
operators gouged the consumers for
an aggregate of $500,000,000," de
clared Mr. Lauck. "In other words,
the profiteering of the bituminous
coal operators ' was translated into
a tax of approximately $25 o.n each
family in the United States. And
this accounts for an important factor
in the high cost of living."

Rear Acjmiral Sims was the ot.ly
witness today, - but the' chairman
read into the record supplementary
statements from Rear Admiral Fuf
lam and Fiske, replying to portions
of the. testimony of Secretary Dan
iels. - Admiral Fiske reviewed his
efforts to obtain reorganization of
the department' when he was . aid
for operations and" declared that but
for his efforts the navy would have
entered the war without . the two
principal agencies ihe secretary and
his advisers declared to be vital
the office of chief of naval opera
tions and the administrative plan. .
"Instead of abusing rrie," Admiral
Fiske said, "I submit that the sec
retary ought to thank me for sav
ing not only the navy, but himself."

by Mr. Daniels. toAhe effect that he
was a "disciple pf Von . Tirpitz"
and "wished to Prussianize the
navy." -,

hij life to the problem of organiza

cism of the department's conduct of
the war, and reiterated his charge
that Mr. Daniels "failed to direct the
action required both before and dur
ing the war to meet the urgency of
the situation." '

Jimmie Cosgrove,Tn and Out Again, Blames'"
Publicity for His Popularity -With Judges
Jimmie Cosgrove was "in again"
yesterday in District Judge Es
telle's court. But he was .. "out
again" after paying $50 fine for
drunkenness.
"T. B. M.," Jimmie's nemesis, oth
erwise lenown as T. B. Murray city
prosecutor, argued volubly for a
jail sentence for Jimmie. .
... The statute provides only a jail
sentence- for a second offense, Mr.
Murray told the judge. This was
Jimmie's second offence of thisiind.
But Judge Estelle said a fine
would do this time. Jimmie - had
appealed from .a 30-day jail sentence
imposed on him in police cAirt a
month ago,.
- "I like this judge best of them
all," Jimmie told friends as he sat
in the court room waiting for a mes

"I'd '.have appealed a jail sen
tence," he declared. "I wouldn't lay
in no jail this hot weaker." ;
Speaking of the newspapers, Jim
mie declared they aren't any good, i
"My publicity s what, hurts me,"
he said. , "Whenever I come up in
some court the judge thinks he has
to put the bee on me because I get
the publicity. It ainlt right."
Jimmie said he wasn't going to get'
in any more trouble, not this", month
anyway - .-
