CHICAGO, June 9.-Speaker Cans
non came to town today, consulted
with his intimate friends and political
managers, looked over the speech
Harry Boutelle is to make putting
him in nomination, and went away
again. The visit of a presidential
candidate to nominating convention
is not usual, but the call of the speak
er did a great deal of good to the
cause of the allies" inasmuch as it
put an end to the talk that he was
contemplating a surrender.
Cannon's name will be presented to
the convention in due form and his
friends will vote for him on the nrst
ballot. The same thing will be true Of
Fairbanks and Knox About Hughes

Charles Gates Dawes of Chicago is
being urged formally for the position

of the allies Representative William

manager.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
SAN JOSE, June 9.-R. s. Field, pro-
prietor of a curio store on South First
street, was attacked by DR.. Meadows
of San Francisco this afternoon be-
cause, it is asserted, he refused to pay
$4,000 to Meadows for alleged relations
with his wife while she was still Edna
Van Hook and a clerk in Fields store.
Mrs. Meadows was with her husband
and aided him in his attack, using a
whip which she had with her. Field
was badly bruised and slashed, but
was saved from more serious injuries
by his clerks and customers.
Dr. Meadows entered the store and
presented Field with paper demand
ing the immediate payment of $4,000
and charging Field with improper
conduct with his wife. Field refused
to pay a cent and denied the charges.
Meadows struck him, knocking his
glasses off and practically disabling
him for further defense, as Field is
extremely shortsighted. When Mrs
Meadows began to lay the whip upon
Field he soon lost consciousness.
Mrs. Meadows worked in Field s
store five or six years ago and was one
of his valued assistants Her marriage
did not take place until after she left
him. and he says he has not seen her
since. DR.. Meadows. has been an
irregular practitioner of medicine in
San Francisco and has made several
trips to Central America as ship sur
geon. Field refused 10 have his as
sailants arrested.

NEW YORK, June o.-The fact

Lodi Gives Spoon, Not
Key, to Daughters
Pretty Silver Tokens Disfrib.
ufed to Delegates, but Cam
not Hold Hospitality
By Arthur L. Price

LODI, June 9.-Instead of giving the
keys of the city to the visiting dele
gates of the Native Daughters of the
Golden West the members of Ivy par
lor No. SS of Lodi received the twenty
second grand parlor OF the order more
felicitously today. Souvenir silver
spoons engraved with the picture OF
the Lodi arch were given to each grand
officer by the local parlor, the presenta-
tion being made by the committee of
the local parlor, headed by Mrs Made
Spooner, the president. But the visit
ors find the spoons too small to hold
the hospitality of the San Joaquin
town. which is being poured on them
from all sources.
The delegates are busily outlining
their tasks and tomorrow reports from
the various committees will be read,
following on the report of Grand Presi-
dent Emma T. Foley and the reports
of other grand officers. Interest in
California landmarks and in aiding the
Associated Charities in providing homes
for children is the keenest among the
members of the grand parlor.
POLITICS MOST EXCITING
But these historical and humanitarian
problems do not cause the excitement
that politics does just now. Every
member is alert with enthusiasm over
some candidate or other, the chief in
terest, of course, centering on the
grand vice president and grand secre-
tary fight. Mrs. Emma w. Lille. the
Lodi candidate, received boom in the
session of the parlor today when there
was received from Ivy parlor of Lodi
a resolution waving the traditional
vote for grand trustee for a member
of that parlor, courtesy heretofore
always extended the hostess parlor, and
instead presented the Endorsement of
the parlor for the candidacy of Mrs.
Lille as grand vice president. Sup
porters of Mrs. Lille appeared wear
Ing annunciation lilies to convey a SYM
bolic suggestion. But the champions of
Mrs. Mamie Peyton of Joaquin parlor,
Stockton, are still sanguine of victory
For while 1t seemed as If the course
of the rival campaign committees
might lead into the sizzling zone of
personalities, but that has been averted
by the candidates themselves, who
struck a quick truce and cleared the
air. The fight over the secretaryship
is still exuberating. Mrs. Laura Frakes,

SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT

Shortly before he sailed today Gould
was asked if he had abandoned his
great cross continent railway project.
He replied:
Every youngster has to have the
measles and the whooping cough. and l
don't know that they are any the worse
afterward."
He declined to be any more specific
or explicit. In reply to more general
questions he said: Il feel that l am
leaving my properties in comfortable
position. If I did not feel that they were
safe l would not go away at this time.
1 shall return the middle of July and
buckle down again to work The re-
ceivership of the Wheeling and Lake
Erie was inevitable after the Wabash
Pittsburg terminal had been called.
The Wabash Pittsburg terminal un-
fortunately was overcapitaliZed. We
probably could have carried it through,
but / thought it was time to stop on
behalf of the wabash. I did not want
the Wabash to become overloaded with
worse things which might pull it
down"

MAY CHANGE PLANS

Well informed railway men regard
Goulds statement as equivalent to an
admission that he has abandoned his
transcontinental plans, as heretofore
outlined, but they agree in believing
that 1t does not necessarily include re-
linquishment of his control of the
Western Pacific. His statement, as in
terpreted by those in a position to
Judge, had particular reference to the
eastern link in the proposed trans
continental system which was to Rave
been built to connect the Wheeling
and Lake Erie with the Western Mary
land railroad.
1t is positively stated that the link
which was to have formed this connec-
tion at Pittsburg will not be built, but
that Gould has an understanding with
E. H. Hartman, whereby the other
Gould roads will, in lieu thereof, OBJ
tain trackage over the Baltimore and
Ohio, and, as Hartman has control of
the Baltimore and Ohio, the agreement
between them will doubtless also in
volve limiting of competition between
the Western Pacific and the Southern
Pacific. 1t is considered quite probable
that the understanding between Gould
and Hartman will eliminate the West
ern Pacific as an active competitor.
BARRED BY LAW
1t is not considered likely that the
Western Pacific will publicly pass into
the hands Of Hartman, for the Sher-
man act, as Is well known, prohibits
rate agreements between parallel com
peting roads. Complaint has been
made on account of traffic agreements
between the Union Pacific and the Cen
trail branch of the Southern Pacific and
the New Orleans route of the Southern
Pacific, and there has been occasional
talk to the effect that the two lines
would be voluntarily divorced.
Tt seems certain that Gould, after
several years of estrangement, has
finally made friends with Hartman.
They have been keen rivals for the
distinction of establishing the first
complete transcontinental railroad line.
The Goulds are generally regarded as
indifferently successful financiers and
