Borah and his senate committee this afternoon completed the preliminary skirmishing in connection with the investigation of campaign expenditures, thereby opening the way for tomorrow's boring into the "slush fund" charges of Sen. R. M La-Follette. The first session this afternoon was short and perfunctory. Clem L. Shaver, Democratic national chairman, and James W. Gerard, its party treasurer, appeared before the committee and reported on their campaign collections to date. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—A total of $548,440.02 has been collected to date by the Democratic national committee to finance its presidential campaign. James W. Gerard, the party treasurer, testified this afternoon before the Borah committee investigating campaign expenditures. A list of the large contributions to the Democratic fund was submitted to the committee at Borah's request. The largest contributions, according to this list were amounts of $25,000, each given by Bernard M. Baruch, former chairman of the war industries board, and Jesse H. Jones of Houston, Texas, director of finance for the nation committee. The committee's expenditures to date have been $461,501.50, Gerard said, in addition to unpaid obligations aggregating $135,310.20. DEMOS HAVE HALF MILLION WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—A more complete picture of the year's national political expenditures was unfolded today before Sen. Borah's investigating committee. The searchlight was turned temporarily away from the coffers of the Republican national committee and those of the Progressives, centering on the finances of the Democrats. Clem L. Shaver, campaign manager for John W. Davis, and Jas. W. Gerard, treasurer of the Democratic national committee, were summoned before the committee to submit reports on their financial affairs. Official figures made public by the Democrats in advance of the appearance of Shaver and Gerard indicated that the Democratic general fund so far only amounted to about half that collected by the Republicans. A compilation by the Democrats of contributions in excess of $100, showed an aggregate of $516,826, while the Re- NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—Even if the Zeppelin factory at Friedrichshafen, German, be destroyed under the terms of the Versailles treaty, as the French intend it shall, development of the huge lighter than air dirigibles of the ZR-3 type will not be lost to science. That assurance came from Dr. Hugo Eckener, pilot of the ZR-3 in its trans-Atlantic flight, in an exclusive interview with International News Service, in which he told of plans which in effect will result in the transfer of the whole zeppelin industry to Akron, Ohio. Dr. Eckener will remain in New York, meeting different officials of the Goodyear Zeppelin Corp., until he sails for Germany in the middle of November. "To destroy that factory in Friedrichshafen," the doctor said, "would be an act of vandalism. But then the French are—well, the French. They are excited. They find themselves today in a commanding position, which they got with the help of others, so they are leaving nothing undone to prevent their falling back. "But even if the factory is destroyed under the treaty, the development of these dirigibles will go on as an American industry, now that their worth has been proven by the trip over the ocean." "We have formed a corporation you see. Our activities will be concentrated in Akron, your big rubber city. Technicians and skilled workers from Friedrichshafen will be brought over. Later I shall return, too. Then we will wait for the navy department to order the building of more ships." Dr. Eckener seemingly accepts giant dirigibles as navy craft as a foregone conclusion. He is convinced that the time is not far distant when these air cruisers will be making regular sailings over Government Attorney Charge Conspiracy In Oil Leasing LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21.—Ing the name of Admiral Robison, chief of the engine bureau of the navy department new fraudulent aspersions b住 at former Secretary of the Interior Albert B.

The occasion was the oath of suit of the United against the Pan-American leum and Transport Co.;the American Petroleum Co.;E.L.Doheny head of both companies,and Edward L.Doheny his son. In its suit the government attempting to force cancele Clem L. Shaver, campaign manager for John W. Davis, and Jas. W. Gerard, treasurer of the Democratic national committee, were summoned before the committee to submit reports on their financial affairs. Official figures made public by the Democrats in advance of the appearance of Shaver and Gerard indicated that the Democratic general fund so far only amounted to about half that collected by the Republicans. A compilation by the Democrats of contributions in excess of $100, showed an aggregate of $516,826, while the Republican fund, according to figures submitted to the Borah committee at Chicago, now totals around a million and a third dollars. The highest single contribution was $25,000, there being two in this amount. The donors were Bernard M. Baruch, former chairman of the war industries board, and Jesse H. Jones, director of finance for the Democratic national committee, and Mrs. Jones contributing another $5000. Among other large gifts to the Democrats were: Henry Mergenthal, former ambassador to Turkey, $21,000; Thomas L. Chadbourne of Connecticut, $20,000; James W Gerard, former ambassador to Germany; Chairman Shaver, $10,000; Norman Davis, $10,000; John W. Davis, the Democratic nominee, $5000. In the $5000 class were also Samuel Untermeyer, one of the attorneys representing Sen. LaFollette before the Borah committee; Frank L. Polk, John D. Ryan, Percy S. Straus and Cleveland Dodge. Gov. Charles W. Bryan, the Democratic vice-presidential candidate, gave $500, while contributions of $100 each came from Mrs. Edith Bolling Wilson, widow of the late president, and former Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels. The Democratic budget, according to these preliminary figures contemplates a total expenditure of $1,000,000, of which slightly more than half has been collected. The first session of the Borah committee in Washington is continued on page two.

SHENANDOAH ENDS HARD FLIGHT NORTH ISLAND, SAN DIEGO, Oct. 21.—Completing one of the hardest flights she had undertaken since being commissioned, the navy dirigible Shenandoah was again brought to her mooring mast here today shortly after 11 a.m., successfully ending its flight from Camp Lewis, Wash., from which place it left early last Sunday afternoon. Sharply at 11:06 the mooring lines of the Shenandoah were cast overboard to 300 blue jackets below and gently she settled on the landing field, 200 yards from her 174-foot mooring mast. After a few minutes, during which several persons on the Shenandoah come aground, the big ship was lifted approximately 100 feet into the air and with the sailors at the ends of her mooring ropes was gently "walked" to the mast where after an hour's tedious work she was tied fast. The giant aircrusher arrived over North Island at 3 a.m., this morning but because of a heavy fog was unable to land and was forced to remain aloft for more than six hours before the sun dispi- cated the fog bank. However, as soon as the fog began to scatter under the sun's rays the Shenandoah nosed earthward and landed before the helium gas it carriage became too heated for her to come down. (Continued on Page Two) BRITISHER JAILED ON LIQUOR CHARGE RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 21. Editor Intimates He Has Three Stories Involving Police 'Up His Sleeve' Superior Judge Williams this afternoon awarded judgment of $1000 actual damages in favor of Police Officer Annin against the Fullerton News and its manager, Ridge Smith, and $500 punitive damages against Smith. The court declared that a newspaper could be a power for good or bad in a community but that in this case malice had been shown in view of the alleged threat by Smith to "get the goat" of the Fullerton police department. The court went on to declare that the newspaper article had been very damaging to Annin in that it intimated he was a coward. Because of the nature of his office, it was more harmful than to have declared him to be a crook... Intimation made on the stand by Redge Smith, editor of the Fullerton News, that he had three stories involving the Fullerton police department "up his sleeve," featured testimony given in George Annin's suit against the News, alleging slander and demanding $30,000 for asserted defamation of character, the case itself drawing near its completion in Superior Judge R. Y. William's court at Santa Ana late today. Attorney James L. Davis, of plaintiff's counsel had completed his argument before the noon recess' was taken, and at 1:30 p.m. Attorney E. J. Marks of Fullerton, was scheduled to argue the News' position. Attorneys James L. Allen and S. L. Collins for the plaintiff and defense respectively, then were to give their closing arguments, after which Judge Williams either will hand down his decision immediately, or take the case under consideration. Defense testimony adduced this morning largely was for the purpose, it was understood, of refuting that given late yesterday by Joe Carissossa of Fullerton, the latter denying he told a News reporter that he, Carissossa, had knocked Patrolman Jacob Dienst from the running board of an auto, and that Patrolman Annin had dashed from the scene, leaving his fellow officer to his plight.

The occasion was the opening of the suit of the United States against the Pan-American Petroleum and Transport Co.; the Pan-American Petroleum Co.; Edward Doheny, head of both companies, and Edward L. Doheny, Jr., son. In its suit the government is attempting to force cancellation of toll leases executed in favor of Doheny companies, giving them rights to the Elk Hills field on the naval oil reserve unita California. The basis of the federal suit is formed as a result of the material inquiry and the details surrounding the government's intention that the leases should abrogated occupied the great portion of today's hearing. Headed by former Senator Atchner Pomerene of Ohio, the array of legal talent specially hired by U.S. attorney general to connect the case, opened before U.S. District Judge Paul J. McCormick, with a composite statement of facts. In the remarks, the govern­ent attorneys pointed out the evidence which had been uncovered, resulting in the filing of the suit and demonstrated points which they intend to prove in support of their contentions. WORLD GIRDLERS PLAN HOP TODAY MEDFORD, Ore., Oct. 21.—The world-girdling airmen, led by Out. Lowell H.

And the Anaheim C. of C. and M. made it clear that the other cities of the county would be welcome both to the parade and the dance. D. S. Rappaport of the committee, asserted that he knew of some 35 Angelenos who were coming here just for the lark of it. These comprised largely commercial men who had done business in the city. Others expected to attend are former Anaheimers now living in nearby cities, such as Long Beach, who would come to visit relatives and make a day of it. Inumerable stunts are being arranged for the parade, which will be a scream from beginning to end, featured by four to six bands. Dignity will be thrown to the winds, and "everybody will have to come off his high horse," members of the C. of C. declared. The curfew whistle will ring at 7:00 p.m., not 9:00, as announced and that will be the signal for the lights to come on and show what the merchants have been doing behind their show windows. The block between Los Angeles and Lemon-st on West Center-st will be roped off completely and traffic absolutely barred, according to City Marshal Bert Moody. The suggestion to do the same thing to several adjoining blocks on Center could not be accepted by the committee. The Frank Tausch Minstrel Band, Crescent Creamery Co.' and Turf Verein, a unit of Concordia club, were the latest additions this morning to the big parade.

If the speech isn't coming in distinctly from KHJ he will pick it up from a station further east, probably the General Electric station at Hastings, Neb. Goodson has also arranged to bring Uncle Remus, famous radio comedian, for a personal appearance at the show Thursday evening. The only trouble Goodson experiences is to keep a stock of his of hard work, altho this wasn't appreciated by some who saw how quickly it was put into place.

When it is finally declared O.

The Little Sioux Savings Bank was robbed of $4000 this morning in one of the most spectacular raids in the history of Iowa, bank robberies. After blasting the safe and snatching $4000 in cash and securities, the four yeggs shot their way thru a cordon of armed and firing citizens and escaped in an auto. Towns folk were aroused by the blast of the bank vault. Immediately citizens surrounded the bank and poured a terrific fire into the bank building. The yeggs for a time answered by the blast of the bank vault. After a short lull in the bandit's fire, it was seen from across the street that one man was loading another charge in the safe while three stood guard with drawn revolvers. Soon another blast rocked the building. The bandits soon emerged from the building and amid a hail of bullets from the citizens, they opened a murderous fire shot their way thru the expression heard on all sides from visitors who accompany it with statements of surprise that such a creditable exhibition could be arranged upon such short order. "The big advantage about a show of this kind," said one prominent dealer today, "is that we are exhibiting to folks in our own trading clientele. I remember at one show, where elaborate and expensive arrangements had been made, that I talked to a prospect for an hour and a half one afternoon only to learn, finally, that he was a tourist from Minnesota and would make any purchase from his own dealer when he got back home. "I believe that auto shows of the future, in the smaller centers, will be along the line of the present exhibition, both because of economy and practicability."

Expressions of Surprise At Attractiveness and Completeness Uncle Remus, known to radio fans throughout the west, will appear in person Thursday evening at the Anaheim Auto Show, part of the entertainment which will be featured by a radio address from President Coolidge. Clarence B. Goodson, who is making the arrangements for both sections of the program, in making the announcement today added that Uncle Remus will appear throughout the evening, playing several instruments, including the baby harmonica and harp, and singing comic songs. Uncle Remus was easily the entertainment feature at the annual convention in the Elks' clubhouse a few weeks ago of the Music Trades Ass'n of So Calif. and allied organizations, including radio associations. Tonight the Musical Howes nationally known Chautauqua attraction, will show their versatility on various instruments. One of their specialties is to play on tumblers, an act that is rarely seen even in the best vaudeville circuits. Last night's program consisted of vocal selections, namely by members of the Klwanis club's double quartet. Messrs. Durfee, Lewis, Rundstrom, Taylor, Bonnat and Merrill sang "The Basket of Chestnuts" and the "Anaheim Booster Song" and Reginald Taylor, leader, sang "The Road to Mandalay," "Invictus" and "The Bandaler," the second being an encore of the first. Miss Gladys Miller, soprano, also assisted, to the delight of the crowd. Throngs attended the show last night admired the beautiful 1925 models, and the accessories and radio exhibits, and heard the artists. The local show has started some interesting discussions among auto fans regarding the progress in design, etc. It appeared to be generally agreed that if the models shown this week were compared side by side with the previous models of the 1923 California Valencia Orange Show some marked differences would be observed. The four-wheel brake, for example, mechanical or hydraulic, was then hardly beginning to be introduced from Europe, balloon tires were almost unknown except among tire officials, various interior refinements were little more than that of and, except in a few instances, cars were probably not so sturdy and durable. The question of which is the pioneer, Europe or America, came to force when Roy S. Wilson, manager of the Orange-co Motors Co., Pierce-Arrow, and Marmont On Leongs and Hip Sings last night flashed death in the venom of a tong war. Today the simple death threat of tong warfare—"you have been elected to die"—had been fulfilled, for two victims. Two more Chinese are wounded, one probably fatal; half a dozen more are alive only by a miracle and the terror of the outbreak which brot nearly 100 warnings of death was seething in all quarters of Chinatown. At dawn at least one policeman was on duty at every Chinese laundry, restaurant and business establishment in Chicago in an effort to prevent further bloodshed today. The first victim of the latest tong outbreak was Willie Kai, 23, Hip Sing man, shot five times in the kitchen of his restaurant. Almost at the same time Charles Yin was shot and killed in his laundry at Milwaukee. The other attacks occurred in different parts of Chicago almost simultaneously. Chinese questioned concerning the latest flare-up gave various reasons as its cause. Some said it resulted from family trouble. Others said a feud between the Hip Sing's and On Leongs, brot on by the Hip Sing's endeavor to wrest some large gambling concessions from the On Leong's was responsible. From Frank Moy, former mayor of Chinatown, however police received the version to which they give the greatest credence. It is Moy's opinion that Chin Jack Lam, renegade On-Leong, is at the bottom of the trouble. Lam was expelled from the On Leong tong some time ago. Moy said and following this, he gathered about him a band of about 300 discontented Chinese, mostly gunmen and gamblers. These outlaws recently extorted about $30,000 from On Leongs by threats and then forced them to cancel about $70,000 in mortgages by kidnapping Wong Sing, head of the Chinese Merchants' Ass'n, in Cleveland and holding him prisoner for some time. MOTORIST BADLY HURT IN COLLISION Harold S. Covey of Buena Park, assistant manager of the Anaheim Beef Co., was severely injured at 5 a.m. today when the car in which he was riding collided with a car driven by L. A. Brandle of So. Philadelphia-st. Anaheim. L. B. Carson witnessed the accident. Covey was taken to the sanitarium, where it was found that he had suffered from bruises, cuts and internal injuries, the extent of which has not been determined. His condition is said to be serious. The accident occurred at Ball-rd and Magnolia-ave. An accident was reported to police from Santa Ana and So. Citron-sts., in which a Ford coupe owned by John Daugherty of Anaheim and a Ford touring owned by D. A. Lorando of Stanton collided. The right rear wheel of the touring car was broken. No one was reported seriously hurt. DIET DISSOLVED BERLIN, Oct. 21.—The German diet was dissolved as a natural consequence of the dissolution of the reichstag yesterday. A Class Ad is best little salooman. Some marked differences would be observed. The four-wheel brake, for example, mechanical or hydraulic, was then hardly beginning to be introduced from Europe, balloon tires were almost unknown except among tire officials, various interior refinements were little more than that of and, except in a few instances, cars were probably not so sturdy and durable. The question of which is the ploneer, Europe or America, came to the force when Roy S. Wilson, manager of the Orange-co Motors Co., Pierce-Arrow and Marmon distributors, declared flatly that America, except in the last year or two, had far behind Europe in motor design. Wilson has plenty of facts as well as authority to back up his statement. Four-wheel brakes, for instance, had been used for years in Europe. On the other hand, it was Ford who introduced standardization and large scale manufacture to Europe and brot prices tumbling all along the line. Asked why European models hadn't achieved the low gas mileage of American, Wilson said they were now doing so. Another question quite as keen is that of balloon tires. Branch Manager M. B. Lacy of the Cadillac Garage Co., declaring that the present Cadillac is the finest machine by all odds ever turned out by the factory, asserted that balloon and even low-pressure tires had been rejected by his manufacturers as still outside the pale of practicability. Yet on other expensive cars the new tire has been made standard equipment. A prominent local fan, however, said something significant in this connection. In suggesting that it was the big caings—even tho proportioned to the size of the car—and their comfortable riding qualities that had led to the development and adoption of balloon tires.
