BANG! ANOTHER
 HYPHEN BITES DUST
Roosevelt Keeps Gun Pointed at
 Suspects in Our House

Chicago, Oct 27.-In the midst of a l strenuous day of campaigning, Theo- dore Roosevelt yesterday afternoon 1 addressed a large audience composed exclusively of women and urged them not to be misled by the argument that President Wilson has kept the country out of war, which has been i used by the democratic campaign ! managfiers to win womens votes for the president in the suffrage states. The audience, which filled the audi torium from pit to topmost gallery, responded with shrill cheers. It was one of the most enthusiastic audiences Colonel Roosevelt has addressed since he started out to campaign for Hughes.
 The colonel reached Chicago in the afternoon, after campaigning through Iowa and Illinois, and was lustily cheered by thousands at the Union station. He rode to the Congress hotel through a long lane of cheering men and women. At the hotel there was another demonstration It was an old fashioned Roosevelt welcome all through.
 The ex-president in. the evening ad- dressed 17,OO0 people in the Pavilion in the stock yards district. He dis cussed Mexico, the Adamson eight hour law, preparedness and the tariff. The labor element predominated at the meeting.
 Be Gone, Muzzle.
 While his train was rolling across the prairies, it's way from Denver, the colonel received word that the re- publican leaders here, nervous lest he should say som ething on the hyphen o1 piofo he Gor man-American vote, were anxious to induce him to put on the soft pedal in any remarks he might make on that ticklish subject. Sure enough, when the train reached Cedar Rapids, ennis saries from Chicago came aboard and began to Treason" with him. The colonel refused to be 'reasoned' with and, according to one report even threatened to quit the campaign gath CT than be muzzled.
 Tn his speech to the women at the Auditorium he hit the hyphenates hard and received round after round Of cheers as he pleaded for a 100 per cent. patriotism, and an undivided al legiance He quoted at length from the recent letter of Professor Hugo Munsterberg of Harvard to Chancel- Tor von Bethmann Hollweg as a strik- ing illustration of the utter impossi- bilitv of anyone serving two countries at the same time. He also assailed the Presidents Mexican policy.

It was reported by several betting commits sioners that the Hughes packers were waiting to get the best odds obtain able. Edward McQuade, betting commissioner, said most of the wag CTS he had placed mad been at odds of 10 to in favor of Hughes, with a few at even money.
 An offer of $2,000 even was made that Wilson would win in Ohio, and a bet at 10 to 8 that Wilson would carry the State. There were no bets on the curb yesterday as to the stand ing of the presidential candidates in New York City was reported with TO takers. Several small bets were madc at to that Whitman would he reelected governor although the pre- vailing odds were to 1 on Whitman to beat Seabury. There were offers of odds of to 1 and even greater that Calder would be elected senator, with no response from the democrats.
 Fred Schumam, the Brooklyn bet ting commissioner said he had put between s2,000 to s3,00O yesterday st even money on the presidential cleo tion. He quoted odds of 8 to 5 ol Whitman to beat Seabury and sa d that several wagers had been made at ' to 5 that Hughes would carry New York state. He said he had Calder money at to 1, with no talk CTS. He also said wagers had been made at 6 to that Kings County, famed as independent would go 70 Wilson
 AC COnSlulne $, FOTly-SeCOnQ F street and Broadway, it was said that the betting was more vigorous than for many years. The most striking bet yesterday was made as the result Of remark by well-known sporting man that 1t was certain Wilson would win with the presidency and Whitman the governorship. He was taken up and bet $10,0OO to S14,000. Several bets of to were made that Hughes would carry New York. Along Broad way there were some broad smiles yesterday for persons who had made large wagers on Wilson at 1 to had covered up by making bets on Hughes at even money.

MAY MARRY AND TEACH.
Berlin School Authorities Issue Edict
 to This Effect.


 Berlin, Oct. 27.-The magistrary and schoolboard of Berlin -Schoene- berg have decided that women school teachers who marry during the war shall be retained in office and receive the pay drawn by them before It will also be endeavored to secure for them the increased pay granted from state funds for length of service. The au- thorities explain that "the situation created by the war makes 1t more and more requisite to encourage mar riage.'
 Schoeneberg's action is a step in advance of any other Prussian city. Others, including Berlin proper, per- m1tted women teachers married to soldiers in the first days of the con- f1ct to retain their positions, but they have not gone farther. Scientific men are advocating the removal of any limitation on the marriage of women teachers. Dr. Felix Theilhaber, a well known authority on social and sociological subjects, recently direct ed attention to the fact that nearly 20 per cent. of all women in Berlin forty years old are single, a number al- most double that of a generation ago.

LAPS REFUSE HONORS.
Headers of Nipponese Government
 Want no Decorations.


 Correspondence of The Asso. Press.)
 Tolkio, Sept 23.-A sensation has been caused in Japan by the refusal of two prominent Japanese to accept decorations granted by the emperor in connection with the war with Ger many. The recipients are Yosaburo Takekoski, a well known journalist who was a member of the Diet last year and Masutaro Takagi, who is now member of the house of repre- sentatives. They base their refusal upon the fact that, as members of the Diet, they are the representatives of the people whose duty it is to watch over the work of the government. They hold that acceptance of a deco ration is against the spirit of the con stitution and almost in the nature of bribe. Also, they declare that it is improper to accept hOnors while the war in Europe is stilt raging, merely because the Japanese troops had been victorious at Tsing-tau.
 A government official insists that it . is not within the power of any Ja- panese to decline an honor bestowed by the emperor.

CROWDS OUT TO
 SEE PRES. WILSON
Greeted at Many Points, Along
 Road on Way Home

On Board Presidents Special, Graf ton, w. Va, Oct. 27.-On his way
 from Cincinnati to Long Branch to-
 day, President Wilson made several brief stops In West Virginia and Maryland, to shake hands with peo- pie gathered at the railroad stations He is due to arrive at Shadow Lawn

 two more speeches at Long Branch,
 one tomorrow and the next Novem- Der f.
 In his speech last night at Cinein- natl the president reiterated his ad- Vocacy of a league of nations to main tam peace. "Other nations owe it to a decent respect for the opinion of mankind to submit their cases to h1anklnd before they go to war;" he said, and I believe that America is gong to take pride in the days to come In offering every dollar of her wealth, every drop of her blood, every energy of her people, to the mainte- nance of the peace of the world upon that foundation"
 The president outlined his concep- tlon of the problem before the nation as follows:
 Are we going to keep together and
 move forward, or are we going to divide and scatter and move back ward? Do not let any man lead you who walks with his head over his shoulder, hardening back to things many of which had better be fogot- tten, but follow the men who ade looking forward, whose eyes are lifted to a great destiny, which belongs only to America. Follow the men who do not ask what Is your race, what Is your religion, who donot even ask what is your politics, but simply say, men and brethren, we are all Ameri- cans we all have the same purpose, we all have the same privilege, we all rejoice in the anticipation of the same destiny, let us see that our hearts lie close to each other. and then all the forces of the world can- not withstand the mass and movement of this great people,"

present y A 4 A j of which he is di'
rector is the direct result of his ef'

he was President of the Motor ana

His influence has been felt also in
many other ways throughout the trade

maintenance, fair legislation and
many other constructive measures.

device the possibility not OF novelty
but Of universal signal for automo-

al other noises, appealed at once ~
