Election as Committeeman
Seen as Endorsement
for Ambassador.
HARDING IS MOURNED
“ Wurzbach Predicts Re-elec-
_ tfon and Republican Con-
trol in State.
„ Dallas. Tex. Sept. 22.— Harmony
. prevailed in the ranks of the Stale
“Republican Executive Committee fol-
lowing the election here today of R.
’ B. Creager Brownsville as national
committeeman from Texas.
Creager who has been mentioned
*'prominently as probable appointee to
Mt the post as ambassador to Mexico
■was chosen after a tlyreatened split
t*in the committee ranks failed to de-
■ velop.
Roll call of the 31 committeemen
m showed not a single dissenting vote.
What differences had existed among
"* Republican leaders over naming ol
*the national committee were adjusted
- before the meeting today and the re-
• ported opposition failed to appear.
Committeemen who were lined up
"for T. I’ lam of Houston for the
» place voted for Creager when their
.candidate refused to let his name Le
advanced.
* Creager succeeds the late H. F. Mc-
Gregor of Houston.
*** Mrs. J. C. Griswold of San Antonio.
\.was introduced at the meeting ns the
' new associate national committcc-
■ woman from Texas.
Creager Is Stronger.
•’ The action of the committee in
M> selecting Mr. Creager strengthens his
chance for becoming ambassador to
* Mexico political leaders said here to-
night. The view held by the com-
mittee members is that Mr. Creager
now holds the official endorsement of
the Republican organization in Texas
“■ as ita leader whereas he formerly
had been occupying a position of
secondary importance to the one he
now occupies.
There is no legal bar to a national
committeeman aiding an ambassador-
- ship but party precedent has made it
customary for the appointee to give
up the minor position when an am-
-■ bassadnrship is accepted.
Today’s action is regarded as the
official endorsement of the Texas Re-
publican partv of Mr. Creager for the
position.
m> Texas has never furnished a foreign
ambas.-ador. it is said to an import-
" ant mission.
Wurzbach Predicts Re-election.
Representative Wurzbach of the
-Fourteenth District in an address to-
day predicted his re-election in 1924
?■ and :asserted that within fifteen
years or so. the whole state will be
within the Republican ranks.
The committee adopted today reso-
lutions of respect on the death of
Warren G. Harding. H. F. SlcGregor
and Dr. E. P. Wilmot Austin bank-

The resolutions contain the follow-
ing paragraph regarded as particular-
ly significant:
“Resolved we. representing the Re-

nacles.

farmer had gathered in the autumn
fruit. This week every loyal Israelite
had to make a pilgrimage to the
Temple of Solomon in solemn pro-
cession carrying palms and plants.
The observance of this day bids
all men and Masons rejoice for the
blessings which the earth has yield-
ed in full measure. The local Scot-
tish Rite Masons have arranged a

attitude upon the League of Nations
had not “essentially changed.”

ever” said Underwood “to the Re-
publican do-nothing policy in interna-

GERMANY ON BRINK
OF NEW REVOLUTION

has been carried too rar und that
the government will not be able to
prevent serious internal outbreaks
when a public statement of its sur-
render is finally made.
Conservative’Germans saw the gov-
ernment threatened from all sides with
the communists and the monarchists
ready to join hands temporarily
if necessary to force an internal up-
heaval in the hope that one or the
other will be able to seize power in
the ensuing disorganization of the
nation.
Anything May Happen.
Even the most hardened observers
of the kaleidoscopic course of events
in Germany since the armistice admit-
ted that “anything may happen” next
week and many of them believe that
the events may be more sensational
than anything which Ims gone before.
The government however is leav-
ing no stone unturned to protect its
position after the public announce-
ment of cessation of resistance. Chan-
cellor Stresemann’s negotiations with
the Rhineland organizations and the
Ruhr defense committee are designed
chiefly to protect the government by
getting these groups to assume at
least part responsibility for the move.
If this can be done the government
hopes that it will have spiked the
guns of the extreme nationalists who
are already accusing Chancellor
Stresemann of “cowardly capitula-
tion.”
Unofficial quotations on the dollar
here today reached 195060000 marks.
FAILURE’S COST COUNTED.
Gigantic Outlay Thrown Away In
Resistance Campaign.
Berlin Sept. 22.—The decision of
the Gorman government to abandon
passive resistance in the Ruhr with-
out conditions ends one of the most
disastrous of Germany’s post-war
campaigns.
Resistance was started in the mid-
dle of last January following the
Franco-Belgian occupation. Since
that time it has cost Germany more
than one hundred lives ten death
sentences jail sentences approximat-
ing 1500 years money penalties ex-
ceeding one quadrillion marks and
150000 persons driven from house
and home.
Besides this luminous record of the
havoc wrought by the so-called
“peaceful opposition” to the Franco-
Belgian armed forces the German
reich is poorer by an estimated total
of over more than five hundred tril-
lion marks ns a result of its financial
support of the action.
The end of the Ruhr program
marks the conclusion of the most
extensive passive resistance under-
taking known in history.
Tremendous Costs Counted.
The results nre obtained in the
following statistics obtained by the
United Press from the German gov-
ernment :
Dead 121.
Condemned to death 10 (one exe-
cuted).
About 1500 years in prison
sentences including five persons con-
demned to life-long imprisonment.
Total money penalties: Oue quad-
rillion 652000000 marks and 11-
759 francs.
Expelled: 145604 persons includ-
ing 65000 railway workers and their
families and more than 2000 railway
workers who were imprisoned.
Military strength of the army in
the Ruhr district SS.OOO men—Blooo
French and 7000 Belgians with in-
fantry artillery cavalry and tanks
aviators and engineer battalions. In
addition there were in the old occu-
pied territory 103000 French and
17000 Belgians and in the Kehl
broidgehead 1000 French and 2000
Belgian railway workers.
123 Newspapers Suppressed.
Intellectual blockade:
Newspapers suppressed in the old
and new occupied territory: 123.
War against children: Old and
new occupied area 209 schools with
2313 classes for 127900 pupils con-
fiscated.
The balance sheet:
German deliveries from the Ruhr
in the period between January and
August last year were as follows:
Anthracite coal 6833369 tons.
Coke 4228520 tons.
Briquettes 401.350 tons.
Total 11463.239 tons.
Since occupation of the Ruhr dis-
trict the French and Belgian trans-
ported the following:
French Let-Down Shown.
Anthracite coal 1.329328 tons.
Coke 982105 tons.
Briquettes 63.766 tons.
Total 2375199 tons.
Estimated recent outlays for Ruhr
support amounted to three gold murks
per person in the Ruhr with a total
estimated population of about 5000-
000.
Aside from this outlay and not in-
cluded in the estimate of 3UO trillions
of marks the government has loans
of billions of murks to the industrial-
ists to enable them to pay workers
engaged in passive resistance.
The ministry of finance estimated
that in the latter days of occupation
one third of the government outlay
was consumed by the expense of
Ruhr support. How extensive this is
can be seen from the fact that from
August 11 to 16 the reich paid out
a total of 262 trillion marks making
in the same time only Ui trillions.
