for rikebreakers. They want to
know about beddings, cots, tents, food
and various other supplies.

HUGHES VISITS WHITE
G. o. p. Standard Bearer Calls on
Kansas Editor at Estes Park.

Estes Park, Colo, Aug. 29.-WilliaIn
Allen White, the Kansas Progressive
and editor of the Emporia Gazette,
dropped down from his literary work
shop" in the mountains Monday and
had a short talk with Governor
Hughes.
Beyond assuring the Republican
nominee that Kansas would go for
him, Mr.. White said no politics were
discussed. No such trouble will deve-
to face in California.
The Kansan does not agree with the
enthusiasts over in the Sunflower
state that It will roll up an o1d-time
republican majority this year, but he
believes 1t will be safe. Other ad-
vices from Kansas are to the effect
that as elsewhere about 80 per cent
of the Progressives are not enthus-
laStlc over Hughes, but they don't
want to vote for Wilson.
In his talk with Mr.. White, the can
didate expressed perfect satisfaction
with the political situation and indi-
Gated confidence in the ultimate out
come of the campaign,
Another caller with whom Mr..
Hughes talked briefly was Max Pam,
capitalist of Chicago. Mr.. Pam drop

Today the governor and Mrs.
Hughes will be the guest of Enos

On Mountain Climb.
Estes Park, Colo, Aug. 29.-The
lure of the mountain trails caught
Charles E. Hughes today. With Mrs.
Hughes by his side in gown of
creamy lingerie and white pumps, he
essayed a precipitous cliff which juts
downward from the Falls river high
way in Colorado National park, to view
Chasm Falls.
The stiff climb down the rock
strewn gorge was entirely impromptu,
as Mrs. Hughes explained, ruefully
pointing to her dainty pumps. 81 do

her husbands hand and was helped

Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes spent the day
motoring, playing golf and in strolling
about the lesser hills in the vicinity of
Estes Park. In the long ride up the
magnificent roadway which rises a
sheer 1000 feet within four miles, Mr..
Hughes sew some teeth in Meeker's
Point, the mouL tain shielding the con-
tinental divide, that almost tempted
him to start climbing despite his mod
ish sack suit and new russell shoes. He
restrained himself however, until
Chasm Falls was reached when his
penchant for overcoming obstacles
overcame him. The guests of the

customed to seeing Mr.. Hughes loung-

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-wHEAT-Despite
weakness at the outset, wheat prices to-
day soon showed decided tendency to
recover from yesterdays severe setback.
Selling pressure was much less pro-
nounced than had been generally expected
and number of leading houses were
conspicuous buyers. Freezing tempera-
ture in northern Saskatchewan where the
crop is late had considerable effect toward
giving fresh courage to che bulls. The
opening, which ranged from 29sc off to
&c, up, with September at $1-40K to $1.41
and December at 81 43as to $1.441s, was
followed by material advance all around,
but then something OF a reaction.
The close was unsettled, 29sc to SIC net
higher with September at $1.431a and De-
cember at $1.47 to S1.47A.
CORN-Corn reflected the wheat strength.
After opening Ne to %c lower, the market
rose to well above yesterdays level.

REACHED BY JURY
IN HAMMOND CASE

Guilty was the verdict returned by
the jury this morning in the case Of
the State against Homer Hammond,
former president Of the board Of pub
lie works, who was charged with fail
ure to support his wife.
The jury recommended that Judge
Fox be lenient, however, in the SEN
tence.
Because a motion was presented by
Attorneys Beckett and Lewis for the
defendant asking that the whole suit
be dismissed on the grounds that the
Wayne circuit court has no jurisdic-
ton over Mr.. Hammond since he has
been q resident of Ripley county for
over a year past, Judge Fox withheld
sentence this morning.
The motion will be given a hearing
Monday. II the motion is over-ruled,
the Judge will pronounce sentence i'm
mediately. If the motion is sustained,
Mr.. Hammond will go free.
