ENTHUSIASTIC INDIANA
CROWDS WELCOME HUGHES
Candidate for Presidency Makes Nu
merous Speeches at Brief Stops
Along the Railroad.

Muncie, Ind, Sept. 22.-Charles e.
Hughes second day in Indiana was a
day of many short stops, whisking in
to towns and out, with station crowds.
brass bands, brief rear platform ad-
dresses and handshaking. Into the
days program were crowded twelve
short speeches. The thirteenth will
be delivered at South Bend tonight.
At Newcastle, the first stop, Mr.
Hughes spoke briefly on the tariff. At
Anderson, where the special was
switched to another railroad line, the
nominee made short talk at the
court house. Republican enthusiasts
had brought to town an old cannon
that saw campaign service in the days
of Garfield, and this doomed out a
deafening salute as the train stopped.
Wilson and Marshall posters plastered
on the court house were torn down
and the building was covered with
Hughes posters.
Raymond Robins, who was chair
man of the progressive national con-
vention, spoke to the crowd to tell
them that Mr.. Hughes voice was poor.
The crowd, however, shouted for
Hughes. The nominee spoke for ten
minutes.
At Muncie another crowd greeted
him.

BUSINESS men WARNED
T0BECOME CONSERVATIVE
Former Governor Of Federal Reserve
Insists, However, That There 10
No Danger Of Money Panic.

New York, Sept. 22-American bust.
ness men, aided by the federal re-
serve bank system, will be able sue
cessfully to withstand the shock OF
European competition after the war, Is
the opinion of Charles Hamlin, mem
Der and former governor of the federal
reserve board. His views were ex-
pressed at the annual dinner of the
Institute of Accountants last night.
He said in part: \ M.
IT estimate that the wealth Of the
United States has increased during
the last two years by $40,000,000 900.
Bank deposits have increased between
$4,000, 100000 and $7,000,0O0,000 and
the stock of gold has increased more
than $7OOOOO,00O. Since the first of
the year the importations Of gold have
amounted to $3.50, 900.
"No nation in the world has ever en-
joyed the prosperity that this country
now enjoys"
Mr.. Hamlin said he felt that this
time was one in which American bus
mess men ought to be conservative in
order to prepare for the inevitable re-
action.
Commencing the federal reserve
system, he said that in the future no
business man who deserves credit will
fail to get 1t. Never again will this
country see collapse of credit such
as we have often seen in the past"
he declared. "Never again will there
be currency famine such IS we ex'
perienced in 1907. am convinced
that the great prosperity Of today is
only forerunner Of the greater pros.
perity of the future"

BULGARs BREAK, WORD.

London, Sept. 22-Reports which
have been current for some time that
Bulgaria agreed not to attack Rumania
when the latter nation declared war
on Austria-Hungary are supported by
q statement made today by Ruman-
ian official In London.
Discussing the Russo -Rumanian vic
tory over the German and Bulgarian
forces in Dobrudja, he said Gen. Aver
esco, formerly Rumanian war minis
ter, who led the forces which invaded
Hungary, was transferred from Tran
sylvania to Dobrudja only after evi-
dence had been obtained that the Bull
garians intended to break their word.
"The German plan OF capturing the
town of Constanza and the great
bridge over the Danube has failed def
nitely," he continued. ''The Bulgar-
ians will realize the mistake they
made in following national instincts
and being unable to keep their word" 4"
