HUGHES ON DEFENSIVE.
The Governor Explains Veto Of Two
Cent Fare Bill.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 10.-"Ask the
crooks of New York about it. Do not
ask them whom they are for. ask them
whom they are against. Then you will
learn the truth"
Governor Charles E. Hughes, of New
York, arriving after an all night run
from Webb City, NO., in a speech here
today thus opened a discussion of rail-
ways with particular reference to his
veto of the two cent fare bill in New
York state. Governor Dineen Of Illi-
nois, Joined Governor Hughes at Alton.
Ill, where the New York executive
spoke before a large audience. He
made other stops in Illinois at Lincoln,
Bloomington. Pontiac and Joliet. The
Hughes special was scheduled to reach
Chicago tonight, where Governor
Hughes in a speech, will complete his
tour Of the middle west states. Cover
nor Hughes said in part:
"I have been asked why I vetoed the
two cent fare bill 1 will tell you. I
do not believe in arbitrary legislative
action. I believe in compelling the dis
charge of public obligations m giving
sonable rates and rigorous insistence
on the performance of public duty. But
we have large enterprises connected
with our public service which are of
vital importance TO Ln6 interests OF the
people. Our railways are our arteries
of commerce. Upon their efficiency all
classes in a community are dependent.
We want improved facilities, new sta
tions, improved trackage and increased
car facilities. We want freights moved
promptly. We want passenger service
of the best. Thousands of workingmer
are dependent upon the efficiency of our
railroad enterprises. Its unreasonable
curtailment means loss not only to
commerce, but to labor and the impair
ment of the thousand-fold activities
of the community.
I'VE must insist upon reasonable
rates. The legislature has the power
to fix reasonable rates. but 1t has no
mower to attempt arbitrarily to reduce
earnings unless 1t knows what 1t is
about. We provided machinery in New
York so that matter might be investi-
gated and studied in advance of Ac-
lion so that what was fair to be done
could be ordered to be done. 1t is an
easy thing to take a pair of shears
and proceed to deal with a rate sheet
1t is a different thing to deal Justly
by enterprises. In order that We might
have fair inquiry and understanding
we provided in New York for public
service commission with comprehensive
powers and at the same time we op-
pose any arbitrary and ill-considered
action. That was the reason for my
official conduct in the case specified

BAILEY THE HERO
PENDLEToN MAN RESCUED
DROWNING BOY.
Sergeant d. b. Bailey of Company L,
Played Interesting Part in Thrill
ing Rescue ON Lake Union Near
Seattle-Pendleton Man One of the
Links In n Human Rope"

Though he missed the excitement of
the big sham battle at American Lake
Sergeant D. B. Bailey of company L.
had very thrilling experience with
a rescuing party at Lake Union near
Seattle. While the encampment was
on Sergeant Bailey was called to Sc
attic by the serious illness Of his
wife's father.
Tuesday afternoon he was with a
party on board a Meridian avenue
car. AS the car was passing Lake
Union three boys were seen struggl-
ing in the waters Of the lake. They
had been capsized from row boat
and were struggling hard to reach
shore.
Seeing the boys the motorman stop
ped the car and the crowd rushed to
their rescue. Two Of those in the
lead were Sergeant Bailey and At
orney Frank S. Griffith of Seattle.
The rescuers quickly made them
selves into a human rope with Bailey
at the end reaching down to the
water. While the others held him he
grasped hold of Willie Johnson, aged
IL, who was nearly drowned, and
held him above the water until others
could reach him from under the pier.
The other two lads had previously
been rescued but the Johnson boy be-
ing in a more dangerous position owes
his life to the good work done by the
rescuing party and especially to Ser,
geant Bailey, who kept him from CO.
ing to the bottom of Union lake.

For eight years Mr.. Taylor endeav-
ored to secure switch from the o. R.

grain over that road.
a string of red tape that would
reach from here to Jerico was en-

David never gave up.
Last year he bought and shipped
over the Northern Pacific something
like $4,000 bushels of grain. Evil

At American Lake.

While at American Lake this year
company L made a creditable record
under Captain Smythe. Though the
command was smaller than last year,
the officers and men were all more
experienced and naturally did better
work.
The company was the second COM
pany of the third battalion, command
ed by Major Dunbar, and during the
two days simulated warfare was in
the support.
Though the battalion was hardly
used on the firing line at all, the men
had harder work than any other bat
talon in either army. During the
night attack the battalion was raced
for a distance of three miles in order
to strengthen a weak place in the
Brown" line.
But while considerably exhausted
by the "a hours hard work none of
the company gave out and seemingly
all enjoyed the rough experience.
