"SLUSH FUND" MONEY
BACKED A CONGRESS
RACE, PROBERS HEAR
Brewers' Cash Spent in Special
Election in Twenty-fourth
District, It Is
Asserted
SEVERAL BANKS FIGURE
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 10. Kvldence of
the use of liquor money In the recent
spcclnl election for Congressman In tho
twenty-fourth Congressional district, which
Includes Washington, Heaver and Law
rence counties, litis been A'olunteered to
tho Government ngent Investigating the
political activities of the breweries. In
whose Interest this money Is snld to liavo
been Used could not be learned, as the
Government agents have not Investigated
tho information given them.
The nctlvlty of brewing companies In
Philadelphia and Montgomery County
politics, it is reported, will be one of the
Interesting features of the Inquiry when
all the fncts arc brought to light.
Tho relations between the Northwestern
Xntlonnl Hank. Philadelphia, and the two
brewers' associations liaa been shown to
bo close by the testimony of Assistant
Cashier Moore, of the bank, the only wit
ness examined.
F.dw,ln A. Schmidt, president of the
bank, is also president of tho United
States Drewors' Association and treasurer
of tho Pennsylvania State Urcwers' Asso
ciation. John II. Gardiner, president of
tho brewers' State organization, Is a close
relative of Jlr. Schmidt. J
In summoning officials of the North
western National Bank, It Is believed,
the Government Is endeavoring to throw
somo light on a reported transaction be
tween the brewers' organization and poli
ticians involving the expenditure of nearly
J.'iOO.OOO In the Interest of one or two
candidates In the Pennsylvania State
election two years ago. ThN money is
said to have been spent throughout the
State, but principally In the eastern end.
The Government agents admit they are
Interested in such n transaction, but they
writild not discuss It.
Other banks nro said to be Involved In
the investigation nnd It was learned yes
terday that among a largo number of
subpoenas tho Government nuthn-ltles are
ready to serve are sevoial piomlncnt
banking olllclnls, one or two of them In
tho Pittsburgh district. The Government
agents would not divulge tho names of
these men. The Identity of the one wit
ness before the Grand Jury yesteiday
was established with difficulty by tho
newspaper men. District Attorney Humes
would not discuss the matter, declailng
It entirely in the hands of the Grand
Jury. Tho brewers' lawyers were as ret
icent on that subject as they have been
all tluougli fie case.

COMMERCE CHAMBER
OF U. S. FAVORS SHIP
SUBSIDY; FOES CLASH
Tilt Comes When New Yorker
Tells Committee American
People Oppose Govern
ment Ownership
SPONSORS HEAR THE ROW
WASHINGTON, Feb. lO.-Advocnles oncl
opponents of ship subsidy clashed nt the
opening hearing today on tho Alexander
shipping bill, the $50.O00,0 Administra
tion measure. Hot exchanges took place
while Secretaries McAiloo and ltcdllcld,
sponsors of tho bill, looked on.
William 11. Douglas, of New York, for
the United States Chamber of Commerce,
said the Amcilcau people did not Indorso
the proposition of the Government going
Into tho shipping business.
"I iiucitlon whether you spean for c
American people," Chairman Alexander,
author of the bill, retorted.
When Douglas said the American peo
ple wcio eager to hnve n merchant ma
rine under tho American ling nnd did
not rnie a great deal how It wnn ac
complished, Representative Hntdy, of
Texas, asked:
"Does not the United Slates Chamber
of Commeice propose to hold up this bill
simply because you Insist that wo Bhn.ll
Incorporate the subsidy Idea? Isn't your
body the obstructor?"
Aiiouns Fon time limit.
"Personally If this committee sticks to
Its stubbornness 1 think tho chnmbcr
should oppose ou." nnswercd Douglas.
"Hut If you nie willing to meet us halt
way. If you llx a limit on the number of
years the Government mnj remain ln
tho shipping business, live years for ex
ample. 1 should look with more favor on
our bill nnd pi nimbly support It."
Douglas presented the result of n lef
crendum showing that the Organization
Is overwhelmingly ngalnst Government
ownership nnd operation of ships, and
favors paying subsidies.
Chairman Alexnnder questioned whether
the referendums represented true senti
ment of tho members of the 000 subordi
nate chambers of commcrco throughout
tho country, and asked whether each lo
cal chamber showed Its sentiments
thinugh tho' vote of only the boatil of
directors or of some subcommittee, or by
a general referendum of all members.
OPPOSITION IX POIlThAND.
"I was ln Portland, Ore., nnd asked If
the rank nnd file members of tho Cham
ber of Commerce of that city were given
an opportunity to vote on a Govcinment
owncd merchant mniiiie, and I was told
they were not," snld Chairman Alexan
der. Douglas said $30,000,000 would give the
United States only BO or CO ships. Ily
paying ship subsidies of Hvo or six million
dollars a year for 10 years, a llcot of 100
or 500 vessels would bo possible, ho said.

TAKES FLING AT JOHN BULL
Cornelius Lchnnc, Irish lnbor chief nnd orator, now In this city,
todny voiced his opinion of Grcnt Britain nnd threw some light on tho
attitude of Ireland toward the war. Lehanc, n giant in stature, a brillinnt
spenkcr, wns the prime mover in mnny of the great lnbor struggles
in Great Britain niul Irclnnd. He is regarded as one of the main
figures on the "gcncrnl staff" of
CORNELIUS LEHANE
"England cnllcd on tho Irish democracy to fight to save Belgium.
But Ireland replied, 'You have made Ireland a Belgium for 700 years.' "
"British recruiting sergeants tried to terrorize the Irish people by
scattering pictures portraying a German invasion of Ireland. 'The in
vader is at the gate,' they said. The Irish democracy replied, 'We know
of but qne invader in this country and that is the invader that has been
here for centuries.' As soon as we have kicked John Bull's Government
out of Irclnnd we'll bo rendy for nny invader that may come along."
"England says she is fighting for the protection of small nnd weaker
nationalities, but she means small nations under other flags. The small
and weak nationalities under the British flag are held down by British
bayonets."
"Ireland, Egypt nnd India arc continually seething with revolt against
British rule and they all look forward to the downfall of tho British
Empire as their only hope of freedom."
"The Irish are maintaining an armed neutrality, as the people arc
being steadily equipped with military weapons to enable them to take care
of themselves when the time comes."

Lehane's nnvll:
"The reason the henrt of tho
democracy of Irclnnd is not in this
war is because wo wnnt all Irish
men nltvc in Ireland after the war
for the great work of social re
construction." "One Irishman nlivc in Irelnnd
is worth more than 1000 Irishmen
dend in Belgium."
"In Ireland, the lnbor movement
lias replaced the old revolutionary
land agitation and it is the labor
movement that directed the organ
ized opposition to the recruiting
campaign of the British Govern
ment in Irelnnd. If Great Britain
should attempt to enforce conscrip
tion in Ireland, the Irish people
would reply with n socinl revolu
tion." t
"T. P. O'Connor's statement that
there nro 300,000 Irishmen in the
British army is not true. There
nro not moro than 50,000 Irish
soldiers nt the front. The great
bulk of the Irish manhood is at
home, waiting to lock horns with
John Bull when the opportunity
arises."
"The lnbor movement in Ireland
has assumed a revolutionary char
acter and stands avowedly for the
establishment of the co-opcrntivc
