chairman of the military committee,
and Senator Borah, Republican, in adj
vocating laying aside temporarily all
the other Legislation to dispose
promptly of preparedness measures.
Their statements precipitated gen.
eral discussion, in which Senators
Vardaman and Simmons deprecated
suggestions that the United States was
not prepared to deal with any situa-
tion that might arise with Mexico.
While the senate debate was in
progress Speaker Clark and Majority
Leader Kitchin were reporting to their
colleagues of the house on conference

Will Go to Tennessee on Day
 Wilson Talks in Kentucky

New York, Aug. 15.-Through a change in itinerary Charles E. Hughes on his present speechmaking trip will invade the democratic ''solid south.' He will make a speech in Nashville, Tenn, on September ,. On the same day President Wilson will be deliver ing his Lincoln speech in the adioin- ing state off Kentucky
 It was really this Kentucky engage ment of the presidents that led Mr. Hughes managers to add Tennessee to the list of states to be visited by the republican candidate on his present trip. It was found necessary to change the original schedule from Kansas City, pushing it forward a day. This arrangement will bring MT. Hughes to Lexington, Ky, on Septem- Der 5. When it was found that the president would be in Kentucky on that day the Hughes managers were undecided at first whether to have MT. Hughes put in the day in St. Louis or swing him down into Ten nessee. They finally chose the later Elan.
 It was explained at republican headquarters that it would have been unprecedented to have two candidates speaking In the same state on the same day, courtesy having for many years appar rently forbidden such a situation. Mr. Hughes will speak at Lexington on September 6. His speech while 1t will not swing the state into the republican column, will have good effect In Kentucky, which the republicans are hopeful of carry ing, though the fight will be close It may also help the republicans to cap- ture a representative or two from Tennessee

ROCKEFELLER PLAN
 CALLED AFA|LURE
Advertised as Cure-All, It Fails
 to Cure

Colorado Springs, Col, Aug. 15.-A wide range of labor topics is dealt with in the annual report of John McLennan, president of the Colorado State Federation of Labor, submitted to the convention of the federation here today.
 The so-called Rockefeller Indus trial Plan" adopted by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, is declared to be an unqualified failure" The industrial commission and WOrkmen'S compensation laws of Colorado are severely criticised in some respects and praised in others Conditions in the coal mining fields are reviewed and a glowing report is given of the growth of unionism in the state and legislation deemed necessary is out lined.
 Generally, the report says, better feeling appears to prevail between employer and employe in the state, and in the coal fields improvements noted are credited to the results of the strike of 1913-14.
 Reviewing the so-called Rockefeller industrial plan, President McLennan says:
 This plan has been advertised as
