WILSON MAY TAKE
QUESTIONTOCONGRESS
Tomorrow He Will Receive the General
Committee of Gao Workmen - Some
Suggestions as to the Basis of Set
tlement.

LleUl6uL.
WASHINGTON, August 16.-Presi-
dent Wilson decided today to post
pone further conference with the rep
rCsentatives of the railroads and en-
ployCs i'll the threatened railroad strike
until tomorrow, when he will receive
the general committee of $40 work
men IN the East room of the White
House. In the meantime the commit
tee of managers here and the general
committee OF the employees will meet
to discuss tentative plans now before
them.
President Wilson is framing basis
of settlement which he will submit to
both sides with the notification that
he is ready to 20 to Congress. if need
be, to prevent the strike The Presi-
dent 5 peace pact is compromise and
is said to provide:
l. That the railroads grant the
eight hour day.
>. That the workers give ~ their
demand for time and a half paw for
overtime work
1t was a surprise, almost shock. to
the President to find last night that
after two days of parleying, in which
he dropped almost all other business,
both sides refused to make conees-
sions. The President faced the fact, ad-
mitted by both sides, that the situa-
tion was no nearer a settlement than
when he took hold of it Monday morn
ing.
In the meantime the President.
through Judge William l.. Chalmers of
the federal board of mediation and
coneiliation, will keep in close touch
with the representatives of both sides
No engagement has been made for
the managers committee, but it is
probable the President will see them
some time tomorrow.
The latest plan on which the Presi-
dent is working is to put into effect
the cighthour day and have federal
commission investigate collateral is
sues and make recommendations. De
tails of the plan have not been worked
out, but it was said to be possible to-
day that if the railroads conceded an
eight hour day the employees will be
urged to give up their demand for
time and a half overtime.
The committee of managers re.
manned in session almost continuously
today, discussing the conferences with
the President and the tentative sugges-
tions outlined. 1t was stated that the
negotiations are now in such form that
definite decisions may he made bv
both sides before the end of the week

EXCITING FLAG RACE
None Mors Promising Than Pres
ent in American League.
Six Almost Certain Contenders tor

ident Ban Joknson-cIeveland
Is Doubtful.

(By BAN B. JOHNSON. President Of the
American League)
With the baseball season of 1916 In
full bloom, enthusiasm in Uncle Sans
great national game is everywhere ap-
parent. This enthusiasm furnishes
striking contrast to the period imme'
diately preceding the campaigns Of
1914 and 1915.
It is needless for me to refer to the
distressing conditions under which the
game labored in the last two years,
for these are still fresh in the minds
of every fan. Suffice it to say. that
the situation having been clarified
during the winter months, baseball is
again due for a period Of prosperity
which I hope will equal, if not sur
pass, those wonderfully prosperous
seasons of 1912 and 1913.
Believing in the doctrine OF pre-.
paredness, the American league club
owners have their teams on edge and
eager for the fray, as the result OF
long training seasons under southern
skies. We have had many exciting
races for our pennants, but l cannot
recall one which was more promising
than that which is now upon US.
Boston, Chicago, Detroit, New York,
Washington and St. Louis are, from
my point of view, almost certain con.
tenders for the right to get into the
world series next October. Cleveland,
an unknown quantity at present, may
develop enough speed and stamina to
make matters decidedly lively and In.
teresting for the others.
The Cleveland club is in the hands
of the new owners this year-men OF

brains and push and money. The
question of expense will not enter
into their calculations IL they can
strengthen their team and make it .
factor in the championship race.
Another one Of our clubs also
changed hands during the winter-St
Louis. The manager Of this club Is
none other than Fielder Jones, who
led the White Sox to the worlds cham
pionship in 1906. Jones, when in the
American league, always showed re-
markable ability in handling team.
and he knew how to get the best re.
suits out of his men. That's why J
think the st. Louis team, with Jones
as it's pilot, should be rated as pos.
sible pennant contender.
As for Connie Mack, he is still en-.
gagged in the arduous task Of rebuild.
ing his Athletics, but Connie, WIZARD
that he is, can hardly hope to figure
seriously in the race Of 1915. But, at
that, he may surprise us.
In conclusion, I wish to say that
with normal conditions in the base
ball world restored, major and minol
league club owners, the country over
face the future with feeling OF con
fidence-a feeling that the grand old
game has come back, and that the
fans are now ready and anxious &c
support it as enthusiastically as they
did In the days OF its greatest pros

Desirable Magnolia.

Chinese and Japanese magnolias are
especially desirable for lawn planting.
They prefer warm, rich, dry soil and
should be planted carefully in the
spring. The Yulan magnolia, M. con-
spicua, is known for its large white
flowers, produced before the'leaves. II
is shrublike while young, but becomes
a symmetrical tree as 1t attains age.
Similar in habit, but blooming little
later, is Soulange's magnolia, flowers
white and purple, cup shaped, three to
five inches in diameter. The foliage
is large and massive, and this mag
nolia is SO hardy, vigorous and hand.

to plant. Earlier in bloom than either
of the preceding Is Halls japan mag
nolia, which is dwarf in habit, forming
a bushy shrub. The flowers are pure
white, semi-double and fragrant. It
is not uncommon for It to open 30
early in April that there may be q
light snowfall while 1t is In bloom.
These magnolias vary in price from II

USE OF MANURE IN GARDEN
Matter Of Much Moment to Those Who
Desire a Luxuriant Growth Of
Flowers.

Nearly every owner Of garden
knows that he must annually supply
the garden with stable manure to
keep up the physical texture and gen.
eral plant food in the soil. For this
nothing is better than wellrotted horse
manure. But there are special crops
of flowers that need special feeding
to get high-class flowers. An inquiry
is just at hand asking for rush food"
for carnations. The grower wishes
to feed heavily at proper times In or
der to produce snowy blossoms for
early winter. Carnations have very
fine hair-like roots that need equable
conditions of soil, moisture, tempera-
ture, food, etc. Aside from rich, fri.
able soil, potash and lime are needed
to keep plants in good general health.
both of these are supplied in wood
ashes, or one may use air-slaked lime
and either sulphate or nitrate of pot.
ash. The latter also contains nitro
gen. Well-rotted animal manures, e.
pecially pulverized sheep manure

plant growth. II stems are weak, bone
meal and lime will stiffen them and
also induce the formation Of flowers,

Not Phoninq to Fishes.

If you see a man leaning over the
railing of a bridge intently watching
the river, with a telephone receiver at
his ear do not think that the man is
trying to talk to the fishes or to a
diver below the surface. He is prob
ably one of the governments engi-
neers measuring the amount of water
passing under the bridge. This Is
done by lowering an instrument,
known as a current meter, into the
water at several points under the
bridge to determine the speed OF the
water and by measuring the depths
of the water at the same points.
