Middle West Is Buying Fuel Cheaper
Now Than Other
Parts Of the
Nation.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Gasoline
will drop to twenty cents in practically
every section Of the country within
two weeks, Standard Oil officials as
serted today. at the same time deny
ing that the governments investiga-
tion of the advance in prices had any
thing to do with the reduction. Prices
have been falling steadily throughout
the west and middle west within the
past few days. The decline, according
to Standard Oil officials, Is due to the
fact that crude oil wells drilled last
year are now showing exceptional
yields, crude oil regulating the price
of gasoline.
Figures collected by the United
Press from all parts of the country to-
day showed that the motorists of the
middle west. from Chicago to Denver.
are paying the lowest price at present
for gasoline. Chicago and Des Moines
quoted the lowest price, 171a, and the
average is Is to 10 cents St. Louis
was paying 21k cents, the highest
price for the middle west. while Dem
verites were paying "a and "a cents.
San Francisco reported 10 cents a
gallon with no decline recently.
Moving eastward from Chicago the
price of gasoline begins to mount.
Detrotters are paying only 10 cents.
The price at Indianapolis is 21, In

INFANTILEPARALYSIS SPREADS
IN CHICAGO DOCTORS REPORT

mitted today there are sixty-one cases
Quarantined, and emergency prepara-
tions being made to receive mucn
greater number. An average OF three
patients day is being received and
the procession is increasing rather
than diminishing Three of the VIC
tins at the county hospital are adults.
That the mysterious plague is
spreading is indicated by the fact
that with very few exceptions none
of the cases come from the same
locality. Dr. Henry B. Thomas, an
infantile paralysis specialist, declared
that while the situation should cause
no great alarm, it is the grayest Te

Exemption Clause Relating to
Former Officers Of Army,
is Cause Of His
Refusal.
WAS FATHERED BY HAY
Message sent to Congress- by Wilson
Outlines Reasons for His
Action on This
Bill.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1s-Presi-
dent Wilson today vetoed the army
appropriation bill. His action re-
suited from a provision in the bill
exempting retired army officers from
liability to service and discipline
under the articles of war.
The exemption provision itself
grew out Of objections made by cer-
tain retired officers who asked to
serve following the outbreak OF the
Mexican trouble, at recruiting Offices
and mastering stations.
Chairman Hay OF the house milf
tary committee, fathered the exemp-
tion plan and succeeded in keeping 1t
in the bill. despite the fight made on
1t by Secretary Baker.
In his veto message to congress
the president suggested a constitu-
tional objection to such exemption,
So long as retired officers are con-
tinued in their status as members
OF the United States army, he said.
they cannot under the constitution,
be relieved from obedience to the
president. The message expresses
doubt that the majority OF the retir-
ed officers would sanction such q
provision in the law.
Congress to pass the bill over his
veto, must muster two-thirds vote
and with the arrival of the message
at the house today the general be-
lief is that this cannot be done. The
action of the president, however, is
deemed likely to delay adjournment
to some extent
Within one hour after the veto
reached the house, Chairman Hay re-
introduced the measure, minus any
mention of the articles Of war.
Sorry to Return II.
The veto message declares "it is
with genuine reluctance" that the
president returns the bill which he
describes as wisely and generously
providing for national defense.
1.-The existing articles OF war are
undoubtedly archaic says the mes
sage. "They have not undergone re.
vision for more than 100 years. Il
therefore, the more keenly regret to
find in the revision in the articles
Of war provision to which cannot
give my approval"
It cites a long list OF rulings TO
show that retired army officers hold
public Office and are not mere PEN
sioners'' from whom no further serv-
ice is expected They wear the uni
form of the army, their education
and service hold them out as persons
especially qualified in military mat
tiers to represent the spirit OF the
military establishment, and they are
subject to military duty in time OF
national emergency by the mere or

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Aug. 1S.-
Charles e. Hughes capacity as a har-
monizer appeared likely to be tested
! to its fullest extent today.
| No sooner had he reached theN boun-
Diary line of California. than bitter
factional battle intruded. Because the
progressives one party to the row
assert that there is great menace in
| the division, it appeared likely early
today that the republican presidential
nominee would spend most of his af-
ternoon spreading the soothing balm
Of harmony on California state leaders
! in various conferences. He was sched-
uled to reach San Frencisco shortly
after noon and will deliver his main
address at the civic auditorium there
tonight.
On the surface, the division is ap-
parent in an effort OF two factions of
the party to assume proprietorship OF
the nominee. The progressive-republi-
cans claim the regulars" headed by
National Committeeman VIM. H.
Crocker, have frozen out the john
son type of progressive-republicans
and have snubbed Governor Johnson
by suggesting that he does not appear
at tonight's meeting. The regulars
deny the assertion and point to big
delegation of progressives who have
been invited to platform seats tonight
as we'll as to a nnmber Of republicans
Of that type who were selected as
members of the California reception
committee which met the Hughes
train early today.
Remember crocker's Speech.
Back of the surface indications, lies
the memory by the progressive re-
publicans of speech made by Ma
tional Committeeman Crocker at the
meeting of the republican national
committee in Washington last winter
in which they say he deprecated too
much harmony and asked one more
opportunity in which to defeat Hiram
Johnson. The latter is now making
campaign speeches not only favoring
his own senatorial candidacy, but
boosting Hughes Chester Rowell, OF
Fresno, a progressive, who was chosen
on the republican national campaign
committee. is also working for Hughes
hut he admitted today when at the
train that his advice had not been
sought in arranging the Hughes meet
ings throughout the state.
Progressives in asking attention
declared that at the recent primaries
only 10000 of approximately 100000
former progressive voters, declared
themselves republicans. There are
therefore, they assert. nearly 100000
