HUGHES SPEAKING
IN HOOSIER STATE
He Says Great Driving Force
of Patriotism Must Furnish
Power for Progress.
QUOTES CLAY ON TARIFF

Lafayette, Ind, Sept. 2l.-Charles
E. Hughes. addressing his second au-
dience of the day in the open air
here today, outlined the policies for
which he stands and declared that
he wanted to see in the United States
"a great driving force of patriotic SEN
timent," which would furnish the mo-
tive power for progress.
II want American rights protected
throughout the world" Mr.. Hughes
said. II desire to see a great driv-
ing force of patriotic sentiment which
will give US the motive power of
progress. We cannot have progress
unless we have that loyalty and love
for our country which will enable us
to get up steam to supply energy.
"And, therefore, that we may have
that say that American rights must
be protected throughout the world
with respect to American lives, prop
erty and commerce, with respect to
all nations of the world"
The nominee reiterated his declara-
ton that the Pathway of surrender
to force leads only to civil war in the
end" declared that he stood firmly
for arbitration of industrial disputes.
All Americans Are Laborers.
81 am the friend of labor" he said.
"Who is not the friend of labor? If
man isn't the friend of labor he
isn't the friend of America, because
we are all laborers in this country
and we have all got to 60 up or down
together"
Mr.. Hughes went into detail con-
cerning his tariff views. He quoted
Henry Clay in support of his decla-
ration that the doctrine of a protec-
tive tariff was not partisan doctrine,
but a sound American doctrine" The
protective tariff, he said, would have
to be applied to enable America to
meet European competition after the
war.
IF it is not" he said, I'VE will not
only have repetition of the period Of
unemployment that we had just be-
fore the European war, but we will
have agitation and confusion and dis
aster in this country. see un-
bounded trouble ahead in disap-
pointment and blighted prospects Of
labor, if this is not done. | see only
disturbance and disaster unless we
take this matter in hand in time.
I'VE are good natured in this cam
paign. You cannot separate me in
friendship from any American citi-
zen whether he is a republican or a
democrat ! make no partisan appeal
in bitter way. make no repub-

GUARDSMEN ASK TO
STAY ON BORDER
Men Who Wish to Remain in
Army Will Be Transferred
to Other Regiments.
FUNSTON ISSUES ORDER

San Antonio, Tex, Sept. 2l.-The
request of three hundred members oi
the Second New York infantry to re-
main on border duty after they had
been ordered home, resulted today in
an announcement by General Funston
that guardsmen who wished to stay
could be transferred to other regi-
ments, releasing men who wanted to
return to their homes. Men only can
be transferred to regiments from their
own state. w.. .'A.t
There are men in all regiments, who
because of business interests, feel
they should be permitted to leave the
service as long as there is no actual
warfare. Investigation in the Second
New York disclosed scores of its
members without family or business
ties who we're anxious to remain in
the federal service. This informa-
tion was transmitted to General Funs-
ton by General Organ Of the New
York National guard.
The commander OF the Southern de-
partment wired his consent to the
transfers. He also sent to Major.
General Clements, commander at FL
Paso of the Pennsylvania division, in
structions to carry the plan into ef-
feet among his troops.
Three Pennsylvania regiments soon
will be released by the arrival OF a
similar number of North Carolina reg
iments.
The Second New York began leav-
ing Pharr, Tex, and McAllen today,
and will be cleared by tomorrow, its
place in the New York division be-
ing taken by the Third Tennessee.
The release of thousands OF troops
on the border by the War depart
ment has reduced the number of pro-
visional guard divisions to ten, Gen
eral Funston said today. The original
plan called for three divisions of reg
ulars and twelve Of guardsmen.
The First Vermont infantry left
Eagle Pass today for home, being re-
lieved by the First Tennessee.

FEDERAL FARM
BOARD IN LINCOLN
Committee Sidetracked and
Farmers Are Called In to
Give Testimony.
KINKAIDERs ASK FOR AID

Lincoln, Sept. 2l.-(Special. 1.-THE
Federal Farm Loan bureau hearing
Lincoln's claims here today, deftly
sidetracked the program of Mayor
Bryan and the local land bank COM
mittee, and, instead put in more than
half the time listening to what vol
unteer farmers had to say.
Our idea and our procedure calls
for hearing of farmers first, who
come from a distance-all who want
to be heard, or who have any ques-
tibns to ask" William McAdoo, sec
retary of the treasury and ex-officio
memeber of the board announced.
The hearing too developed into one
of information giving and was entire
ly informal. Nearly 400 people
crowded into federal court room, a
large number of whom were farmers.
Members of the board conhdentially
remarked that it was the largest hear
ing held in any of the twenty-three
states visited.
Aid to Kinkaiders.
Guy Drake, owner of a section OF
grazing land near Whitman, told the
board he came to Lincoln this morn
ing to raise loan from private
sources, when he happeiied to hear OF
the hearing and thought he would at
tend.
Only farm loan bank can save
us Kinkaiders," Drake told the board.
Il could not get loan for less than
8 per cent" Drake said he had
wanted to borrow $4,000 to stock
his ranch. He said it was impossible
to make anything unless the men had
funds to stock their land.
We are organized to borrow
money right away" said West Mil
ler of Ainsley, Neb., who came to
Lincoln as misrepresentation of To-
cal grange. "We are ready to take
$4,000 now," he told the committee.
Committee Talks Last.
The local committees program
went through during the afternoon.
Secretary Mellor, Secretary Walter
Whitten of the commercial club,
members OF the faculty of the state
farm and Lincoln business men, ap-
peared before the board in support
of the claim for bank, urging Ne
braska's agricultural resources, as yet
undeveloped, as some of the speakers
put it, as basis for the claim.
The hearing was largely nonpar-
tisan. Farmers did not indicate their
preference between Omaha and Lin
coin in the hearing on the bank, and
the showing of most of the other
speakers was strictly impartial.

Oil Used to Quiet
Angry Sea Sticks to

Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo, Sept.

CONFERENCE IS A FAILURE
HEGAN MAKES STATEMENT

New York, Sept. 2l.-The threat
ened general labor strike in SYM
pathy with the striking street car
employees will be called tomorrow, il
was announced late today by Ernest
Bohm, secretary Of the Central Fed
Grated union. Bohm made the, an
nouncement after a conference be-
tween labor leaders and a citizens
committee, which both he and Mayor
Mitchell declared had failed in its ef-
fort to avert the strike.
New York, Sept. 2l.-Arbitration
Of the city's transit strike, now in its
third week, will be enforced by the
state board of arbitration and media
ton, it was announced here today by
H. J. Hogan, a member of the board.
Hearings will be held Monday and
both sides will be directed to present
testimony.
Asserting that the strike is "the
most menacing labor situation that
has ever threatened the peace and
prosperity" Of the city's population,
Mr.. kegan declares that if a general
sympathetic strike was called the
safety and livelihood of six or seven
millions of people in this corner Of
the state" would be endangered.
1T is time that the expression the
public be damned be changed to the
new slogan, the public be protected ;"
Mr.. Regan added: "The time has
come to put an end to the chickering's
between the railroads and their en-
ployes. The disputants appear to be
unable to make an end themselves,
therefore the board intends to exer-
else its powers and TO make an end
for them.
Il have already taken steps to
bring about the compulsory submis-
sion of the points in dispute. From
my investigations so far l have de-
cided that settlement through mt
tual concessions by the companies
and men is possible. will urge that
the companies take back the striking
employees and settle the great point
in controversy by reducing the time Of
operations of ths so-called master and
servant contract from two years to
one year."
Before subcommittee Of the busi-
ness mems committee which is seek
ing to settle the car strike William B.
Fitzgerald, head OF a delegation of
labor leaders, said this afternoon that
the strikers would 60 back to work
provided the traction company would
without discrimination restore all un-
ion men discharged from their posi-
tons, would live UP to the agreements
OF August {, 7 and 80 and submit to
arbitration the justice of the master
and servant" contracts entered into
by the traction companies and some
OF their employees. The subcommit-
tee was still in session this afternoon
and expected to report later to the
full committee.

Status of American
Troops in Mexico
Under Discussion

New London, Conn, Sept. 2l.-The
question of the withdrawal of the
American troops was discussed by
the Mexican-American commission
ers today, but without an agreement
being reached. The Mexican repre-
sentatives made no demand or re-
quest for their withdrawal and the
consideration of the problem is un-
derstood to have been of a rather
general character.
The commissioners spent most of
the time today discussing with the
Mexicans documentary reports relat-
i've to general conditions in Mexico.
The American commissioners con-
ferred among themselves in the aft
ernoon, the joint conference being
adjourned until tomorrow.

because of the roads," was his
reply. IF we had good roads to
our lands here from railroad centers
settlers would come to this land fast
enough. L tell the boys at home
about the fine soil. and excellent crop
possibilities, but when I have to tell
the truth about roads, they back
water. We'll wait, they say, until
