CANADA RA|LR0ADERS
IN FAVOR Of WAlK0UT

Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 16.-Officials
of the Order of Railway Conductors
and of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen announced here today that
80 per cent of the ballots recently
cast by trainmen of the Canadian
Pacific railway, who are demanding
certain concessions in the way of
working hours and duties, support the
recommendation of the investigating
committee favoring a strike.
While union officials claim that
they can tie up the system from coast
to coast, both sides admit that there
are good prospects of an agreement,
negotiations for which now are under
way.
Only conductors and yard men are
directly affected, but it is understood
the engineers and firemen have pledg-
ed their support.

CHARREO BODIES
UNEARTHED FROM
RUINS Of HOME
Remains of P. B. Wilkinson and
Daughter Discovered by Of
ficials
BELIEVED MAN SHOT
- GIRL, THEN SELF
Special to the Tribune.

Flasher, N. D., Oct. 1G.-The worst
fears Of friends and neighbors were
confirmed Sunday morning, when Cor
oner Kenne".J of Mandan unearthed
the charred bodies of P. B. Wilkinson
and his daughter, Gladys, in the smok-
ing ruins Of their home, six miles
south of Flasher.
According to evidence presented
the coroner, there is grounds for the
belief that, after killing his daughter
with a shotgun, Wilkinson set fire to
the home, and then blew his own head
off. A shotgun was found in the ru-
ins with both barrels discharged. AS
stated in the Tribune on Sunday
morning, neghbors passing the house
at 6 o'clock Saturday evening, shortly
before the flames were discovered,
heard a shot. Before his tragic deed,
Wilkinson had removed the personal
belongings of nephew, Albert Will
kinson, to a plowed field near the
house. The tragedy, it is alleged, was
an outgrowth of trouble which had ex-
listed between Wilkinson and his wife,
and it Immediately followed the de-
parture of Mrs. Wilkinson and her
baby, after quarrel which came up
during shopping expedition to Flash
er.
The two bodies have been brought
to Flasher where the funerals will be
held. Wilkinson came to Flasher ten
years ago, from central Indiana. He
married soon after, the mother of
Gladys. Upon the death of his first
wife, he wed again. A disparity in
ages and incompatibility between the
second Mrs. Wilkinson and her step
child are the alleged cause of the dis
agreements which eliminated in Sat
urday's tragedy.

Nominee Attacks Administration
for Its weak and Vacillat-
ing" Policy
. -.
REFERS AGAIN TO
ADAMs0N MEASURE
Declares Wilson's Motto Is: "A
Problem Avoided Is a Prob
lem Solved

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 16.-Charles n.
Hughes, replying to the charge that
his election might mean that invls'
ible government" be installed in the
United States, tonight told an audi
ence that crowded the auditorium here
that as there had ben no invisible
government" in New York while he
was governor, there would be no "in-
visible government" in the United
States if he were president.
Il think, indeed, it might be said"
Mr.. Hughes asserted, that the pres
ent administration has been in large
measure an administration of unofti-
cial spokesmen of mysterious infiu-
ences.
"And ] can say in entire good hll-
NOR, that desire government through
two houses and not three"
.AssaiIs Adamson Bill.
Mr.. Hughes assailed the administers
ton more vigorously than he has be-
fore for the enactment of the AdamsOn
law, declaring that it was ''un-Ameri'
can and absolutely without justifica'
tion ever to surrender either legislat'
i've power to the demand of force,
either by capital or labor" and de-
clared that the plain people Of this
country should rebuke the administra'
tion for it's surrender to force"
President Wilson's reference to "un.
shackled business" made in the same
hall on the presidents visit here, was
answered with the declaration that
there had been no "clarification OF
the antitrust act" and by the nomi-
nee's assertion that che was amazed
at any such claim as that has been
put forward"
'He Kept US Out Of War!"
The administrations Mexican pol
icy was cited as answer to the declar'
alton that the country had been kept
out of war. The charge that vote
for Hughes meant "a vote for war was
characterized as "monstrocity."
What Mr.. Hughes characterized as
the administration weak and vacil'
lating" policy was attacked.
Someone told me today Mr.
Hughes said, ''and it seems at times
to be the case, that the motto of the
present administration is "a problem
avoided IS a problem SOlVed.
Auditorium is Crowded.
Every seat in the hall was taken
and all the standing room in the rear
of the hall was crowded, many deep
In the galleries, at the far end of the
hall, there were at times confusion,
and Interruptions which the nominee
took, in one instance, to mean an at
tempt to heckle him on the Adamson
law.
Given Great Ovation.
"There has been whisper back
there in the gallery" Mr.. Hughes
said, "of someone, think, who wants
to know my views on the Adamsor
law don't propose to leave here
till tell him.
The nominee reiterated his attack
on the administration for the enact
ment of the law, colsing his speech
with it. The crowd stood, waved
flages and cheered.
Mr.. Hughes left here at a. m. for
points in South Dakota.

St. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 6.-Eliminatior
of the word obey" in the promise o.
women in the marriage service was
recommended in minority report O
the joint commission on common pray
er submitted to the house of deputies
of the Protestant Episcopal genera
convention here today.
The minority report recommended
that the present injunction beginning
wilt thou obey him and serve him,
be changed to "Wilt thou love him
comfort him, honor, and keep him, in
sickness and in health, and, forsakine
all others, keep thee only unto him sc
long as ye shall live
The minority report suggested also
the omission of the words, "and with
all worldly goods I thee endow," in
the service. An argument advanced
was the expression "endow" is a relic
of old English law, under which the
dover rights Of women were guaran
teed and that today the question in
volved is a civil one, to be taken fol
granted. 1t also was proposed to eX
punge the expression as Isaac and
Rebecca lived faithfully together, and
ETC., and merely say ''living faithfully
together"
Many regard the reference to those
biblical personages as out of date
others declare that there is no reason
why Isaac and his wife should be re
garded as models when there were
many other husbands and wives equal
ly faithful.

ican question by statements not based
on facts, and by threats. Mr.. Wilson
declared that $4,000 Americans in
Mexico wanted intervention. They
did not; they only wanted President
Wilson to keep his hands off the situ-
alton. Then the president threatened
to expose them and, up to short
time ago, he successfully squelched
criticism of his record
"The Wilson administration had
successfully escaped criticism till Mr..
Hughes took the stump; then raised
a cry of horror, attempting to blind
the people. But as his charges, one
by one, have failed OF explanation and
adequate defense at the hands of the
administration, the people have be-
come convinced that Mr.. Hughes was
thoroughly justified in his course.
"Mr. Wilson seeks the presidency
for another term on his record. Had
Mr.. Hughes allowed that record to
stand unquestioned, Democrats today
would have been abroad in the land,
declaring that Hughes found nothing
to criticize. As a matter Of fact there
is so much in the Democratic admin
istration that is open to just criticism
the people are just beginning to grasp
the real truth and are becoming awak-
ened to the seriousness Of continuing
the Wilson administration in office.
"In North Dakota, Republican v0t.
ers are being given lavish attention
at the hands of the Democrats, but
without effect. Republican votes in
this state will name Hughes. Repub-
lican voters will return Porter J. Nc
Cumber to the United States senate
and they will elect the Republican
state ticket"

DISCUSSES HIGH
COST Of LIVING

Fresno, CAL, Oct. 16.-Allan L. Ben
son, socialist candidate for president,
spoke at the municipal auditorium
here tonight before a large gathering
Discussing what he termed, 'the
boasted prosperity" of the nation, the
nominee said:
"We are not enjoying prosperity but
suffering from it. Mr.. Wilson says the
wealth of the country has increased
by $41 ,00O,000,000 but both Wilson and
Hughes know that the working class
made that wealth and lost it. They
can't make this an issue, because both
epresent the class that got the
wealth."
He devoted much of his speech to
the problems of the high cost of living.
