Former Judge James ?ny tioulon,
appearing for the Moore campaign com
mittee, expressed dissatisfaction with
the way iu which the judges weie con
ducting the count.
Criticizes Commissioners
"The whole purpose of the net." said
Mr. Cordon, "is to follow the ballots
from the time they leave the hands ot
the county, commissioners, through the
polls, and back to the court where they
are counted, so that there may be a
complete record. The county commis
sioners have failed to keep proper rec
ords, and therefore the court is uot
making the count properly
You are wrong," answered Judge
Audenried. "We have given this act
careful scrutiny. We have worked on
it for days. What do you want us to
do cease making the count?"
"Don't you think you ought to s,einl
for the county commissioners." de
manded Mr. Gordon, "and have them
explain why they did not live up to the
law!"
"So, sir." answered Judge Auden
ried. "It is none of our busipess. It
is not the duty of the return court to
stir up flic county commissioners. We
are confronted by the situation und we
nre making the best of it."
Explanations Accepted
Discrepancies discovered yesterday in
the election returns from the first and
second divisions of the First ward were
satisfactorily explained at the morning
session and the two ballot-boxes were
not opened.
In the first division of the First ward
it was charged that nine spoiled ballots
had not been accounted for. David
K. Collins, judge of the division, ex
plained that he was new to the work,
having been appointed by the court and
nt the start ot voting did not under
stand that the ballots were to he torn
from the stubs and the stubs retained.
In the second division of the same
ward, it had been found that there was
no return of unused ballots. The di
vision had been given 2."0 ballots, and
reported havins used 17(1, two of which
were spoiled. William Selxes, judge
of the division, called upon to explain
what had become of the unused ballotx,
said he had not understood they were to
be returned. He had brought the un
used ballots in under his arm.

TWO SHOT NEAR PRISON
"Moya" Wall Screens Assailant Un
til Intended Victim Passes
Two men nre In Mt. Sinai Hospital
today suffering from bullet wounds in
flicted by an assailant who hid In one
of the gloomy doorways of Moyamenslng
prison until his victims passed by and
then escaped after the shooting.
The men nre Pasqunle Gulldano, 1312
South Tenth street, nnd Joseph Rosen
bluth, 20.10 South Nineteenth street.
Gulldano was shot in the thigh and in
the stomach and his condition is seri
ous. Rosenbluth was wounded in the
side and back, but is expected to re
cover. The shooting is the third among
Italians downtown this week. On Slon
day night two men were killed and two
were seriously injured in a gunfight
neor Ninth and Christian streets. On
Wednesday an Italiau ran amuck with
a revolver in the same neighborhood,
but was raptured before shooting nny
person.
The shooting last night was appar
ently well planned, with Gulldano as
the proposed victim. The gunman,
hidden In the shadow of the prison wall,
on Reed street between Tenth and
'F.leventh, apparently made no effort to
"get" anybody until the Italian paBsea.
Then, moving swiftly and silently In
pursuit, he got close to his victim be
tore shobfing. Gulldano fell to the
ground, wounded twice. Rosenbluth was
shot when lie got in the way of the
escaping assailant.
Patrolman OsSmnn and District De

COMMERCE DIES
LIKENED TO
Miners Assert National and
Local Chambers Are Hos
tile to Labor
DISCUSS RADICAL DEMANDS
lly Iho Associated Press
Cleveland, Sept. 20. The convention
of the I'nlted Mine Workers of America
today classed the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States with the
Industrial Workers of the World nnd
other syndicalist organizations as hos
tile to organized labor.
The miners amended their constitu
tion, forbidding members to join any
nnd all such organizations, under pen
alty of permanent disbarment from
office. President Lewis stated the In
tent of the amendment, so far as the
Chamber of Commerce was concerned,
was to bar membership In local cham
bers of commerce also.
One of the chief charges brought
against the national body was its in
dorsement of the Rockefeller industrial
plan, now employed to regulate the re
lations of employers nnd miners in cer
tain mines in Colorado, against which
the United Mine Workers aro waging a
vigorous opposition.
The amendment, the" original nini of
which was more effective, means to com
bat Itolshevisl efforts to gaitf a foothold
in the miners organization, was car
ried by a very large majority. Two
speakers defended the I. W. W. from
the floor, but had only a scanty fol
lowing when the vote was taken.
One delegate reported that in his dis
trict miners had worked an average of
only one day a month during the nine
months since the armistice, nnd bad
been idle consecutively for two periods
of seven and five weeks during that
period. Exemption from dues was voted
to men employed In mines working less
than five days each month.
The afternoon is being devoted to the
nationalization of mines, formation of a
national labor party, withdrawal of
American troops from Itussia, self-determination
of nations (including Ire
land), lelease of pojitical prisoners, etc.
"Who's Johnson's
Friend" Is Query
Continued From Tore One
There are probably others ou the list,
but these are a few.
Besides there s another circumstance.
The regular old line Republicans, who
were not heretical in 1012, love John
ion because he hates the President. But
for no other reason. They do not love
him enough yet to wish to see him
President. One can linngaine the satis
faction of Mr. Harding, for example,
or Senator Brandegee, or Senator
Knox, or Senntor Watson, or Senator
LaFollette. in voting for the Johnson
amendment if they thought It would get
through, be popular, and perhaps bring
him instead of them, the honor of the
Republican nomination next year.
And one can imagine the pleasure
of good, sturdy Republicans like Sena
tors Curtis, Wndsivorth, Warren, Mc
Lean, Dillingham, Page to mention a
few contributing by their votes now
to Mr. Johnson's success In the national
onvention in 11)20.
Did Mr. Johnson think thoughts like
these? Did Mr. Borah? Did Mr. Bo
rah think thoughts like these when he
sent his telegram? Suppose Mr. Borah
is Mr. Johnson's representative in
Wnshingtou, might he be excused for
not wishing to take responsibility for
what is going to happen to the John
sou amendment in Johnson's absence?
A telegram washed his hands of all
responsibility.
Certain it is that before the tele
grams were sent the Senate talked seri
ously of the progress' Senator John
son wns making ns a candidate on his
stumping tour. And it is a good guess
that those telegrams will huve their
revebcration in 1020.
In 1010 it was because some one
neglected Johnson. In 1020 it may
be because some paid "too much atten
tion" to him. Two telegrams are too
many.

INDUSTRIAL TRUCE,
PLEA OF PALMER
Attorney Oeneral Urges Six
Months' Armistice for Eco
nomic Adjustment
DISCOUNTENANCES STRIKES
lly the Associated Press
Kreeport, Pa Sept. 20. An abso
lute industrial armistice for six months
was urged by Attorney Oeneral Palmer
here today to permit the solution of
economic problems arising out of the
changes wrought by war.
Such n period of freedom from un-
I rest, he declared, would result soon in '
,7r.ln-,UV::,r,C-?..D"n
bout nn era of "easier living nnd better
times" for nil. On the other hand, the
attorney general warned, selfish de
mands by any one class cannot stimu
late the national prosperity or per
manently benefit even those obtaining
such demnnds by force. He strongly
discountennnced strikes. '
The campaign to reduce the cost of
living, which he Is directing, evidently
was foremost in the attorney gencrnl's
mind in his speech delivered nt n re
union of the Seventy-eighth Regiment
of Pennsylvania Volunteers, which
also was a home-coming celebration for
men who served in the world war. He
said that although ninny problems beset
men's minds in these dn.is of recon
struction, there Is none which cannot
be worked out "in the general interest"
in a government where the people are
the only rulers.
"But, unless we shnll be satisfied
with that which is for the general in
terest," he continued, "and do not in
sist upon that which Is in our own
particular interest, there will be trou
ble nnd delay in the settlement. If
men could learn to be pntient under
conditions which have resulted from the
world war until n more accurate esti
mate of the possibilities of the situation
can be mnde, all our problems will be
sooner soiled; but If impatience nnd
selfishness shall rule and Immediate
forceful or direct action be taken, it is
perfectly obvious that nothing but dis
order nnd delay can result.
"The crying need of the world just
now Is for pence, and not political peace
between governments nlone, but indus
trial peace amongst men also. The
things for which men light are never
settled while the war is on.
"Idleness is no panncea for the ills
from which the country suffers. Work
may be. The cost of life is only en
hanced by the idleness of men ; it can
be reduced b) the Intelligent industry
of all."

RATIFY TREATY,
LANSING URGES
Emphatically Demands Adop

Bullitt's Statements ' i
SOVEREIGNTY NOT INVADED
Uy Uie Associated Press
Watcrtown, N. Y., Sept. 20. "Ths
treaty should be ratified without delay
nnd without change' declared Seerc
tnry of Stat" Robert Lansing here to
day in the first public utterance made
by him since the statement of William
C. Ilullltt before the Senate foreign re-'
lations committee, in which it was al
leged that the secretory of state on May
10, In Paris, said that it the Ameri.
can people knew what was in the treaty
they would defent it.
"In the treaty of peace," Mr. Lan
sing further "said, "there is nothing
which invades the sovereignty of this
republic or which limits. In any way
the full exercise of such sovereignty."
Helps Name Town for Himself
Mr. Lansing spoke at the dedication
Lansingdorp, a suburb of Watcrtown,
erected by the government to house
munitions workers nnd named in honor
f the home- of the I.nnsing family In I
Holl-nd. He made no direct refer-
ence to the Ilullltt testimony, content
ing himself with saying that the treaty.
as it is, should be ratified.
"We arc now approaching a new
era." he said, "an era of peace, nnd,
ns I confidently believe, nn era of na
tional prosperity unsurpassed in our
history. The people of the earth ar
dently long to enter upon this era,
so that they may begin to rebuild that
which has been destroyed. This can
not be done until normal commercial
aud Industrial conditions arc restored
and then only can be restored In one
wny and that is by ratifying the treaty
of peace, which now lies on the table
iu the I'nlted States Senate. Th
economic life of the world will con
tinue iu its stagnant nnd wretched state
of uncertainty until the Senate con
sents to ratification.
No Inmsloil of Sovereignty
"In the treaty of pence there Is noth
ing which invades the sovereignty ot
this republic or which limits in any
way the full exercise of such sover
eignty. "There may be in the treaty fea
tures which do npt meet universal ap
proval. It would be strange if it were
otherwise. But the objections which
have been made to certain provisions
are trivial compared with the imperative
need of pence.
"We ought to have peace at once, ,
The treaty should be ratified without
delay anil without changes.
It is narrow-minded statesman
ship which would endanger the going '
into effect of the treaty by changing
its provisions and thereby postpoulng
the return of pence. I cannot coinpre

preciation of the situation, much less
one who shares the responsibility, can
permit any objection, less than the im
pairment of the national sovereignty
of the I'nlted Stntes, to welgu against
the uuiversal prayer of the nation for
the restoration of peace.
"Let the treaty be immediately rati
fied aud let us go forward with the
grent task which lies before us. The
world demands if. 'patriotism demqnds
