DEMOCRATS WILL HOLD
GREAT HARMONY FEAST

New York Aug. 2S.--Preparations for
greatest harmony feast
We're completed yesterday by the demo.
cratic national committee, working in
conjunction with a local committee on
arrangements, composed of leading

sion will be the official notification of

mated for the second time as the party

The president will respond to the no.
tification in a speech of about 5000
words He will review the achievement
of his administration, which he will
offer to the voters of the country as an
earnest of the party's future policy. His
speech will be a new keynote" in the
campaign and will form basis for
the arguments of the party speech
makers who will stump" the country.

Chicago. Aug. 29.-Rumania's decla-
ration of war smashed the wheat mar

fall in some cases amounting to SIC a
hushel September delivery, which
closed Saturday at $151M, started to-
day at s1,46@14Sk.

General rushes to sell took place,
which were increased by the increased
chances of a general railroad strike in
the United States.
Before the descent Of prices could be
checked, losses that reached to SIZE a

trading month, December, which sold
as low as $l.45 y, as compared with
$1.54 at Saturdays finish
Notwithstanding that the tremend-
Gus pressure to unload holdings carried
away for a while all other considera-
items, the extraordinary break in values
proved too tempting for buyers to re-
sist and the market showed the conse
quence in rallies of 303Ac from the
lowest level which had been reached.
The upturns, however, left prices still

Bear traders generally took the view
that the action of Rumania was likely
to prove Il big factor in forcing a more
speedy end of hostlities or would at
least tend to hurry the opening of the
Dardanelles and so release huge Rus
sian shipments OF wheat.

Up GARDEN
FOR HIDDEN GOLD
Believed Edward Morrison, Mil
Iionaire ReCIuse, Has Vast
Sum Hoarded About
His Premises.

Chicago. Aug. 29.-Seeking hidden
hoard of gold, appraisers will search the
premises of Edward Morrison, the &C.
centric millionaire whose wasted for
true is the subject of the investigation
by the federal court. Attorneys for
the receivers will ask for formal
court order tomorrow, directing a
search for the missing gold.
The garden Of the old mans home
will be spaded by the seekers after
buried treasure and the walls of the
ran1shackle home will be probed. That
vast sums of money have passed into
Morrison's hands in recent years is as
serted by the attorneys. 1t is also
claimed that while the aged millionaire
spent and gave away his money with
a reckless hand, he had a passion for
boarding gold coins and would never
part with one. AS there is no trace of
any large sums of gold being banked,
it is believed probable that a secret
hiding place may be located at Morri-
sons home.
Tomorrow Attorney J. r. Ward, who
holds deeds to $2,000,000 worth OF
Morrison's property, will be asked to
produce his books and records in the
federal court.

WILSON TO ASK CONGRESS-
FOR 8-H0UR DAY LAW and

tration under a law like the Canadian
law, providing for an investigation for
a year by tribunal and prevention OF

cred, and still more drastic law, like
the New Zealand law, is favored by
some.
Other plans proposed include pass
age OF IN eight hour law and a resolu-
ton directing the Interstate Commerce
commission to increase rates to CORE

Still other plans are proposed and
one or more bills on arbitration are in
readiness.

EUROPEANS BUILDING
STEAM SUBMARINES

Washington, D. c., Aug. 2S.-Infor-
nation has reached the navy depart
ment that steam submarines are under
construction in Europe closely resem-
bling the 25-knot boats designed by
the department year ago. The navy
general board disapproved the char
acteristics of the steam boats and con-
gress was not asked to authorize any
experimental construction.
Navy designers turned to steam pro-
pulsion for submarines to meet the
requirements of the 1916 naval appro-
priation bill, which specified that the
three fleet submersibles provided for
have a speed of at least 20 knots an
hour, and IL possible Of 25 knots No
private builder would undertake the
construction of the craft when bids
were advertised since they are unable
to find sufficient horsepower In oil en-
gines to give the boats the required
speed.

Berlin Unruffled By Action
OF Rome in Forcing Rupture
German Government Long Had Expected Hosttiestay De-
cIares That State of War Exists Between Her and leu
tonic Empire After Today-Effect to Be Small

Berlin. (via Lon6or), Aug. 2s.--Al-
though Italy's declaration of war
against Germany was absolutely un-
heralded it failed to cause the slight
est ripple Of excitement in Berlin. The
announcement was made public yester-
day afternoon in tho extra editions Of
Sundays newspapers. Idle crowds read
the declaration undemonstratively.
The official Nord Deutsche Alleg-
meine Zeitung sounds the Keynote OF
press comment taking the position
that Italys formal declaration of war
will have little effect in view of eX-
listing conditions.
All the editorials were written prior
to the receipt of information regarding
Rumania's declaration Of war on Aus
tria Hungary, and almost without ex-
ception the newspapers expressed hope
that Italy's action would not force
Rumania into the conflict.
Leaves Berlin Cold.
The Tageblatt says:
I'VE have faced this declaration of
war without Impotence or unrest. In
Italy the declaration may be regarded
as a great deed and may be accom-
panied with the usual demonstration,
In Germany it leaves the public ice
cold.
This is the 9th declaration OF war
and was plainly to be expected the
Tageblatt continues, when the pres
ent cabinet of Premier Boselli was
formed and Walter Runciman, presi-
dent of the British board Of trade, Wis

certainty that Italy fas irretrievably

Prince Won Buelow. The prince for
some time averted war between Aus
tria and Italy. and when he saw rup-
ture was inevitable took steps toward
preservation of an official peace be-
tween Germany and Italy. He nego-
tiated a special agreement under
which, in case Of war between Austria
and Italy, Germany and Italy pledged
themselves to respect the properties
and lives of their respective subjects
in each others domains.
Allies Dissatisfied.
According to unofficial reports 1roT.,
Europe, Italys allies were dissatisfied
and at the Paris council OF entente
powers in February last, asked the
Italian representatives Why their ma
ton was not a war with Germany.
Italy already had agreed not to con-
clude a separate peace ana at the Paris
conference sanctioned TIE plan for a
permanent high council of the entente
powers for future conduct of the war
The increasing cooperation among the
entente allies and the necessity for
bringing into service Italy's surplus Of
troops. gradually brought Italy into
such a position of hostilities against
Germany was certain.
The first overt act in this direction
occurred shortly after the Paris con-
ference. February 20, Italy requisi-
toned "a Of the 81 German steamships
interned in Italian ports to help meet
the pressing needs of the allies for
shipping facilities. Other Indications
of approaching war have been OBJ
served in recent weeks. A German
court ruled that Italy and German
We're actually though not formally, at
war. 1t was reported unofficially that
Germany had taken charge of the de-
Tense at Trieste. A more definite in
dication was the severance last month
of the commercial agreement, provid-
ing for mutual respect Of the rights of
each others subjects. The final step
was the sending of Italian troops to
Salonilu. Italy and Germany severed
diplomatic relations last year.

Washington, D. c.. Aug. 2S.-National

Vermont, now in mobilization camp,

These troops were ordered to move
