Washington, Aug. 2S. - President Wilson tonight definitely decided to go before congress in person tomorrow or Wednesday to recommend legislation aimed to avert the threatened nation wide railroad strike or to stop it, if it comes before congress can act. He worked until late tonight on his mes sage in which he will tell members of the senate and house the negotiations to date and lay before them definite legislative programme.
 The president reached this decision after conferences at the White House with the committee of eight railroad presidents and the four brotherhood heads, on a new proposal for settle ment of differences, suggested by the executives and after a prolonged dis CUssiOn of the situation at the capitol with the members of the democratic steering committee of the senate.
 The proposition of the railroad executives was that an investigation of all issues be conducted by a com- mission to be named by the president, the investigation to last for a period of three or four months, no actiCh to be taken by either side in the mean time and at the conclusion of the in- quiry the situation to be what it is now. the employees having the choice feither arbitrating or striking. The brotherhood heads promised a reply tomorrow morning and there was every indication it would be unfavor- able.
 When the railroad brotherhood heads went to the White House tonight the president not only laid before them the plan of the executives, but strong

ALLEGED CONSPIRACY TO
 kIDNAP ROLAND HARTMAN
Son of Mrs. E. Fl. Hartman Was to oe
 Held for Ransom of $1oo,Ouo

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 28. - Ranscom of S1OO,OOO was to ae de- manded for Roland Hartman, son of Mrs. E. H. Hartman, by three men under arrest in St. Anthony, Idaho, ir connection with the alleged conspiracy to kidnap the 16 year old son of the late railroad magnate, according to word received here today Authori- ties say that two of the men have con- fessed that the plan was to blind CT otherwise disfigure young Hartman if the ransom was not paid promptly.
 Mrs. Hartman and her son had planned to spend several weeks on a Hartman ranch near St. Anthony, but were delayed because of the threat ened railroad strike. When arrested. Mark A. Lufkin, who, the authorities say, confessed, was working on a ranch near the Hartman property, Davis McLoy and Ralph Zufelt were arrested on information furnished by Lutkin.

Great Tumble
 in Wheat Values
AN EXTREME FALL IN PRICE OF
 il 3-8 CENTS.
CLOSED AT LOWEST
Big Drop Caused by Fear That Ru- mania's Entry Into War Will Mean Marketing of Vast Stores of Grains Held by the Russians.

Chicago, Aug 28.-Abrupt widening of the European war zone today sent wheat values tumbling almost as if the market had no bottom. The ex- treme fall in prices was Il Is cents, an amount virtually parallel to the ex- traordinary rise witnessed two years ago on the day that hOStilities began. Transactions today, as then, were on large scale, measured in millions of bushels.
 Russian Grain May be Marketed.
 It was the view that the end of the war had perhaps been greatly bastened which in the main brought about to- days big drop in quotations. Even the most conservative traders serious ly discussed the chance that at least by a speedy opening of the Dardanelles vast stores of Russian grain soon would reach western Europe as a re- suit of Rumania having at last joined fortunes with the Anglo French all lies. Contrary assertions that the i'm mediate consequence of extension of military operations would mean in creased ruin of food supplies failed to result in more than transient partial recoVeries in quotations.
 Closed at Lowest of Day.
 RUmania's declaration of war was generally coupled with the prospect that Italy was about to participate ac- lively with the new recruit In a fresh effort to force the DardaneIles. Word late today in the session that actual fighting had begun on the Rumanian frontier set the wheat pit here nearly frantic and was followed by a wild close at the lowest prices of the day, 14015 to 140& for September and against 1401a to 140a for September 1894 to 144$8 for December as against Saturdays finish of respective ly 156% to 154.
 Throughout the day and especially during the late dealing the increased chances of a general strike in the United States added to the excitement of wheat traders and formed a percep- tible factor in bringing about the col lapse Of the market.

I've known men who should have spent their pension mon- ey for food and clothing but saved it for this reunion"
 Cool weather will make it possible for the veterans to take a more ac- tive part in the celebration than had been expected.
 The auxiliary organizations of the Grand Army totaIling eight, opened their headquarters in various parts of the city during the day and Tegistra- tions of members continued throughout the morning and afternoon.
 Routine business meetings of the councils and commanders of both the Grand Army and the auXiliaries were held, completing arrangements for the sessions L% all the organizations to start Wednesday afternoon following the annual parade of the veterans that morning.

Thi srequest was fatly refused, the leaders saying that only the commit tee of $40. which left Washington yes terday, had power to recall the order.
 Copies of the strike order were brought to the presidents attention after they had gotten into the pos session of the railroad executives. It had been known that the members of the committee of $40 carried home with them a tentative order. but no one outside the brotherhood councils had suspected a date had been set and the president is said to have been greatly purturbed by the information. After the refusal to withdraw the or der he communicated with the rail- that lasted until late in the night
 In spite of the apparent final failure of his efforts to bring the two sides together, the president was represent ed tonight as being still hopeful of averting a strike.
 The legislative programme prepared for congress includes the following
 measures:
 "An eight hour day law for railroad employees so framed as to give the rail- roads time to prepare for it; and,
 "A law pattened after the Cana dian industrial disputes act providing for investigation of industrial disputes on railroads by a, commission and pro- hibiting strikes or lockouts pending the outcome of the investigation.

APPRAISERS ARE SEEKING
 HIDDEN GOLD COINS
On Premises of Edward w. Morrison,
 Millionaire Chicago RecIuse.

Chicago, Aug. 28.-Seel1ing hidden gold coins, appraisers will search the premises of Edward W Morrison, the aged recluse whose wasted fortune is the subject of investigation by the Federal Court. According to Frances J. Houlihan, attorney for the receiv- CTS, a formal court order will be asked tomorrow, directing Q search for the gold.
 The garden of the dead mans home will be spaded by the hunters after the treasure and the walls of the ram shackle home will be searched. That vast sums of money have passed into Morrison's hands in recene rears is asserted by attorneys. It is also claimed that while he spent and gave away his money with a reckless hand. he had a passion for hoarding gold coins and would seldom part with one As there is no trace of any large sums of gold being deposited in banks it is believed by the receivers that a secret hiding place may be located at Nor rison's home.
 Tomorrow J. R. Ward, an attorney who holds deeds to $2,00,00o worth of Morrison's property, will be asked 10 produce his books and records in the Federal court.
