CANDIDATE HUGHES
Continued From First 'axe. }

there is no intimntion that Johnson
at any time sought to see the Re-
publican nominee.
And II is a fact which is being
commented on tonight. in connection
with others. as tending to point to a
public spirit OF the Progressives to
ignore Hughes presence here.
Only Hand-Picketl Progrcssivcs There.
For illustration. though today's
schedule was rearranged, Mr. Rowell
neither appeared on the scene while
Hughes was in Fresno, nor did he
send any regrets. Moreover, since
Hughes left San Francisco there has
not been a representative of the Pro-
gressive party about him except the
hand picked Progressives who sat as
lay figures At the Los Angeles meeting
last night.
But all the while National Commit
teeman Crocker and State Chairman
keesling, whom Fletcher, OF San DE-
go. charges. are leading the assault
on johnson in the interest OF the re-
dictionaries and a return to pre-John-
son conditions. have scarcely left the
side Of the candidate and they con-
tinued with him until he crossed the
Nevada line tonight.

Broad Street IL receiving marked
attention again at the hands OF the
|iight-fingered gentry.
Yesterday morning when the Young
Mems Shop, at tbs East Broad. opened
for business 1t found the cash drawer
had been rified OF 1910 and merchan-
disc taken to the value Of &206.3s, the
articles consisting Of hose. silk shirts,
fourteen scarf pins. Ave and ,one-half
dozen ties and other articles. Two
suit cases were used, the police think.
to carry the plumber away.
The other robbery was reported by
the New York 5-and-10 cent store. 606
West Broad Street, where cash to the
amount of 1910 was taken from the
cash register. This place was entered
by forcing a rear door, but there was
no sign of how the robber succeeded
in getting inside the Young Mems
Shop.
ive-Sergeant Atkinson, who,
with Detective Gordon Smith, investl-
gated the robbery at the Young Mems
Shop. expressed the conviction that
the person who committed 1t was the
same one who recently entered five
other Broad Street stores, An agile
individual who gained entrance to
buildings by clambering to the roof
and descending through skylights was
believed to be responsible for the
earlier robberies.

Gettysburg, Pa. Aug. 22.-That
many Of the parties who come here in
automobile trucks for tours OF the

parties either to employ a licensed

mons.

found on the field after such parties
have visited II and the guides were
given their instructions on how 10
deal with such situations They were
instructed to find out before taking
these parties on the avenues whether
or not hey had such refreshments

II is further stated, however. that

of the executives by President Will
son placed them at a great disad-
vantage. Until tonight, one of the
most widely known of the executives
declared, the situation had been nebu-
lous. 1t was found impossible for the
general assembly OF executives to
come to q common understanding. he
said. and 1t was necessary to appoint
a special committee to take the entire
problem in hand. The committee,
however. was given no powers beyond
reporting recommendations.
Railway executives expressed
amazement- today at what they de-
scribed as an admission by President
Wilson yesterday that he had pre-
judged the case against them. They
declared the President stated he de-
sired TO be frank with them, and that
he informed them he had arrived at
hts decision before he had conferred
with either the railroads representa-
tives or the four brotherhoods' chiefs,
The railroad executives said Presi-
dent Wilson told them he had con-
ferred with and had been kept In

bers, of the Board OF Mediation and
Cancellation. before he reached his
decision, however. Judge Chambers
had conferred with representatives OF
both side and was familiar with all
the Issues in the controversy.

Board OF Health should deny entrance
into Virginia to persons suspected OF
having infantile paralysis or exposed
to the disease.
Discussion OF the precise form OF
quarantine resulted In a decision that
this should be left to the discretion
of the State Board of Health.
Quarantine Presents Problem.
In announcing, after tho meeting.
that the State Board had been called
to take definite action, Health Com
missioner Williams made the follow
ing statement: THE rulings Of the
Attorney leave II discretionary
with the State Board of Health to
adopt reasonable rules and orders to
meet the emergency created by the
spread Of infantile paralysis and II
is my Judgment that discretion should
now be exercised. The ideal arrange
ment is one that will deny entrance
TO the State TO all who may carry the
disease but will, at the Same time,
work no undue hardship on those
who have not been exposed and can
not carry it.
How to attain that ideal. In view
of our limited knowledge of infantile
paralysis Is q question to which we
have been giving careful attention.
shall refer the matter to the judgment
of the full board. with Fecommenda-
tions, and trust that a decision may
be reached on Thursday. Immediate
ly after the Meeting of the board ]

After much argument. and speeches
from representatives of wholesale
shoe dealers, representing the Miles
Shoe Company, and the stephen Put
ney Company. and a protest by Coun-
Gilman Jones, the Finance Committee
last night. ON motion of Councilman
Haddon, tabled the resolution fixing
on purchases and directed the COM
missioner of revenue to extend the tax
on merchants. as now existing. and as
provided for In the budget for the
year.
The resolution. also, calls upon City
Attorney Pollard to press the Supreme
Court for q decision on the appeal
from the opinion of Judge Richard
son, that the State law providing for
tax of thirty cents on the hundred
dollars capital should prevail in Rich
mond.
Alderman Ordway Fuller appeared
before the committee in the interests
OF the city. He explained that while
there were chances that the Supreme
Court would not reverse the decision
of Judge Richardson. the general
opinion among lawyers was that he
would not be sustained, and that by
the adoption of the pending resolu-
ton the city would lose $4,000, be-
cause II would abrogate the existing
plan for the collection of taxes. which
nets $4,000.
Almost Unanimous.
His explanation appeared clear Ia
members Of the committee. and rather
than take chances on losing half the
amount fixed in the budget. the COM
mittee, with the exception OF Mr.
Jones, voted to instruct the commits
sioner of revenue TO extend the taxa
ton list, under the prevailing rate OF
$40, and to instruct the city attor.

The Finance Committee has had
the tax question under consideration

| for the year upon the tax which pre-
vailed last year, and for many pre-
vious years. Then merchants and as
sociations raised points of law anC
points of policy. Many meetings wer,
held. Some wished a tax on pur

Last night a new delegation sp
peared before the Finance Commute
in the person of r. r. Giles. OF tn
stephen Putney Company, and w NJ
Crawford. of the Miles Shoe Company
| They stated that they would no
stand for taxation on purchases, be
cause they were building up a grea
business in Virginia, through sale
mostly in other States, and did no
think their business should be take
accordingly
They stood by the State law whicI
fixes a tax of thirty cents on manu-
facturers, and believed that the de
cision of Judge Richardson in tn
case of Drewry- Hughes Compan,

thirty cents on the hundred shout
prevail. and should he applied I
themselves.
