Hughes is exceedingly anxious to make
q visit to the Texas border, and possibly
campaign a little among the soldiers.
Hughes's set speech of today was
scheduled at Cheyenne late this afternoon.
He made brief talks at various smaller
cities en- route. The theme on which he
dwelt with most emphasis in all these
speeches was the necessity for uniflcaton
of effort and cooperation of endeavor in
government.
The slogan America first and America
efficient" seems to have impressed the
western Republicans. This. the tariff and
Mexico were the subjects of Hughess ad-
dress at Salt Lake City last night. Hughes
spoke in the Mormon Tabernacle. He is
the third candidate for President of the
United States to be accorded this distinc-
tion in recent years.

GERMAN SHIP DEFIES ALLIES
TO MAKE NEW LONDON PORT
Willehad, From Boston, Goes to Await
Second Submarine

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, Aug. 25.-Nosing
her way through a fog, while a little tug
pufred and snorted alongside, the North
German Lloyd liner Willehad swung into
the pier of the State Ocean Steamship
Company here today. adding another chap
ter to German defiance of the Allied war
ship patrol off the Atlantic coast.
Customs officials and all New London
believe the coming of the Willehad fore
casts the early arrival of the merchant
submarine Bremen, from the German port
of that name. The Willehad made the trip
from Boston without escort, Coming
through the Cape Cod Canal and thence out
to open sea, the liner traversed more than
fifty miles of her journey through zone
in which she was subject to attack or cap
ture, had enemy ships sighted her. She
went out beyond the three-mile limit, but
was not molested,
1t is believed the willehad is to serve
In the same capacity for the Bremen as
the Neckar, interned at Baltimore did for
the Deutschland. The Bremen's cargo will
probably be transferred to the Willehad,
which will act as a mother ship" for the
submarine, housing her crew while they are
In port, and also protecting the submersible
from enemy eyes. AS the Deutschland was
nestled close to the Neckar, with a protect
ing tug on the opposite side. and a wall
and barge acting as barriers at either end,
SO is the Bremen expected to be warped
snugly into the pier alongside the Willehad
here.
or Manomet Point the Willehad sighted
suspicious-looking craft heading toward
her, and she chose a course near the shore.
The Willehads pilot had received orders
mat II approached by hostile craft she
should be beaehed.
The Willehad is the first German steam
ship to leave voluntarily the friendly refuge
OF harbor.

Interpretation In the matter. the Rev s g
Smielau. vice president Of the nesociatlon.
wrote to Harry Mackey, chairman Of the
workmens compensation board.
Mr.. Macieey, in his reply, according 70 tls
clergyman, said ne found no case whefa
employers discharged men because OF deaf
ness. He also said there was nothing in the
law to prevent deaf man from receiving
benefits in the event Of injury. It was
pointed out by Mackey however. that an
employer had the right to investigate the
physical condition of all whom he employed
The Rev. b. r. Allabough, OF Cleveland.
Ohio, told Of the difficulties experienced BY
the deaf with Insurance companies He
advised all persons so afflicted to take legal
steps to get fair play when attempts were
made to charge them prohibitive rates. The
speaker also said that in civil service exam
nations government officials have frequent
ly dsregarded the high averages made BY
deaf persons, and they have not received
the reward due them. He advised all labor
ing men who are deaf TO keep abreast Of
the times and be on the alert to obtain fair
play.
These remarks were made in the sjan
language first and later interpreted orally
by A. c. Downing for other visitors present

Unearthed by Workmen at Fifth and
Chestnut Streets-May Have
Been Indian

A skeleton. thought to be that OF an
Indian, was unearthed today at Fifth and
Chestnut streets by Harry w, Ehresmann,
inspector of the Bureau of City Property,
who is supervising improvements being made
in independence Square. The skeleton was
only three feet below the ground and had
been buried more than $50 years.
It's appearance somewhat startled the
crowd which throngs that section OF the
city 1t was brought up in pieces, shin
bones, thigh bones, and then ribs. part
of the spine and more ribs. The skull has
not yet been found.
''Who is it?" one inquirer asked
who was it, you mean," was the re-
jolnder.
Some suggested that 1t was Captain Kidd
or Sir Walter Raleigh. "G'wan," said a
newsie, "it's a shark!'
The skeleton appears to be that of man
of unusual strength. 1t will be buried again
late today or tomorrow.

means that the bill finally enacted will
comprise the same measure which the House
and Senate originally agreed to in confer
ence minus one amendment eNempting re-
tired army officers from the operation of
the articles of war. This amendment caused
President Wilson to veto the army bill last
week. The articles of war now are revised
in the manner desired by President Wilson
and the War Department.
The bill with it's appropriation Of s267,-
596,530, the biggest army bill ever passed

came law two months ago The army appro-
priation last year was S101,974,195.

termaster corps, hospital and other corps

accomplished in two acts, the national de-
fense act and the appropriation bill The

appropriation bill.
President Wilson at an early date plans
to sign both of the defense appropriation
bills before a select assemblage, which will
include the Secretaries of War and Navy,
prominent officers from both services and
congressional leaders.

The obstacles which are encountered by
persons afflicted with deafness and what
was characterized as discrimination against
them were discussed by speakers today at
the thrtieth annual convention Of the Penn
sylvania Society for the Advancement Of
the Deaf, at the Pennsylvania Institute for
the Deaf and Dumb at Mount Airy.
Reports were received by the association
to the effect that many deaf persons were
discharged by employers simply because OF
their affllction.
Some employers declared that they took
a big chance in employing deaf persons on
account of the workmen's compensation
liability law. In order to obtain a correct

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.--The state De-
partment still is without any official infor-
nation regarding the seizure by British
cruisers of the American fishing schooners
Maxine Elliott and Lizzie Griffin while fish
ing In the open sea off the coast of Iceland.
Consul General Robert p. skinner, at Lon

been told that il cannot be made until q
report has been received from the Admiralty.
The two schooners are held at Berwick,
Shetland Islands. and their detention may
add to the friction constantly growing be-
tween the United States and Great Britain
over the latters maritime methods.
In connection with this seizure and the
detention of so Dutch and many Norwegian
and Swedish fishing craft the American
Embassy at London has communicated to
the State Department that as far as the
Dutch and Scandinavian craft are concerned
the British Government plans to justify
its action. It will, in its reply to the Meth
erlands Government now about complete,
admit the right of Dutch fishermen TO ply
their trade anywhere, but will declare that
the majority of tho fleet now are controlled
by German capital, and that the catch in
variably finds its way into Germany for
consumption there.

claim that virtually all of the fish caught
by the Dutch fleet In the North Sea are
