Makes Speech to Women Only
Audience at Spokane.
Also Makes One Stop Today in
State of Idaho.
STARTS SECOND WEEK TRIP
Has Covered 1000 Miles of 1O,-
900 Mile Whirl.
But Only One-fifth of Program
Is Completed.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 1A.-Governor
Hughes faced his first audience of wo-
men voters today. The Republican
nominee was scheduled to expound
his views to a meeting for women
only this afternoon. He told the
ladies why he favored extension of the
suffrage to femininity. Up to date, 1t
was pointed out here, the G. O. p
nominee has refrained from discussing
the case of the suffrage cause on its
merits-he has simply referred to the
move to extend votes to women as in
evitable and felt the question should
be removed from politics by immediate
adoption by congress of an enabling
resolution permitting submission of
constitutional amendment for equal
franchise to the states. He has assert
ed his belief that such an amendment
would carry, and in speeches in Mon
tana-a suffrage state-haS expressed
qualification over participation of wo-
men in voting. In addition to this wo-
mems address, thing new for
Hughes, veteran campaigner tho he Is
the Republican standard bearer was
scheduled for two other talks on his
days program.
Side Trip Into Idaho.
He left Spokane at 9:30, following
an automobile parade, for Couer
D'Alene. his only Idaho stop on the
present trip, and addressed a mass
meeting there at IL o'clock. Return
ing the governors plan was to make
his women only speech at the audi
torium. and tonight address a mass
meeting in Spokane's out-of-door am
phitheater. He will leave at S:45 to-
night for Tacoma.
Altho the candidates voice has now
| hardened and gained strength so that
he no longer experiences difficulty in
speaking. his campaign managers on
the trip are urging the use of sounding
boards at future outdoor meetings.
| Hughes started his second week OF
campaigning today. In, point of time
ent trip, and in point of mileage, he
has 5000 miles farther to go. Yester
day was a day of absolute rest for him
and he gained new vim by utter avoid
ance of strenuosity
Strong for White Vests.
Gibson, the governors valet, heaved
| a sigh of relief when Spokane was
reached, because the governors sup

depleted They were all delivered
whiskers, Hughes can be distinguished
| by his white vests. He almost never
appears without one. William McKin-
! ley was the last presidential aspirant
who put the white vest into politics.
To Messrs. Lewis, of Illinois, who Is
supposed to be trailing Hughes on
this trip, endeavoring TO SOW seeds for
a Democratic harvest, and to Vice
Presidential Candidate Fairbanks,
whom the Republican committee has
announced will trail Lewis, mention
of Hughes's whiskers should prove in
teresting Today the governors were
even more closely trimmed than be-

mouthful of teeth of which Roosevelt
would be proud. 1t was noticeable
also that the governor clicks his teeth
| together occasionally, la T. R.

IT Goes TO KNAPP
Nomination For State Auditor
Is Settled at Last.
Dyer Loses by a Plurality of 222
Votes.

Complete returns today from all
counties in Kansas give Fred w.
Knapp of Beloit the Republican nomi-
nation for state auditor. Knapp's plu-
rality over Dan B. Dyer of Smith Cen
ter is 222. The vote of Kansas Nation
al Guardsmen at Eagle Pass is not
included in the returns and may make
a slight change in the plurality.
Reports have been received by J. T.
Botkin, secretary of state, from all of
the 105 counties. These returns give
Knapp a total vote of 37,254. Dan B.
Dyer received 1902 votes. while
34,723 votes were cast for Frank Or
gan, assistant state auditor. Knapp
was secretary of the Progressive state
committee in 1914 and helped direct
the fight against the Republican state
ticket. He returned to the Republican
party in December, 1915, and in Janu-
airy became candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for state auditor.

Railroad Tie Up Would Cause
Appalling Condition.
City's Meat Supply Would Last
But Eight Days.
500, 900 IDLE IN CHICAGO
In Addition 100000 Railroad
Employees Would Quit.
Biggest Problem, To Get Milk
For City Children.

New York, Aug. 14.-How the
< 600 900 people living in Greater New
york would be fed in the event of a
railroad strike is a problem being
given consideration by officials here
TODAY. Joseph ]. Hartigan, secretary
of Mayor MitcheIs committee on food
supply. has recommended to Acting
Mayor Frank L. Bowling that action
be taken by the city government to
prepare against any stoppage of traf-
fic in foodstuffs.
Hartigan proposes that survey be
made of all sources of food supplies
which could be Communicated If the
strike is declared. With the city in
the grip of an infantile paralysis epi-
demic, city authorities are trying to
determine how the 2.250, 900 quarts of
milk the city consumes daily could be
brought to the city in the event of a
strike Meat packers estimated today
that New York's supply of meat
would last but eight days if the rail-
roads were tied up.
100000 Tourists in N. Y.
More than 100000 tourists are now
in New York. it is estimated. How
these people could be fed, to say Moth
ing of their being unable to return to
their homes and places of business. is
also troubling city officials. AS New
York produces practically no food
stuffs, a strike which would cut off
the city from its food supply would
result in appalling conditions in a
short time. authorities said.
Greatest Railroad enter.
Chicago, Aug. IA general rail-
way strike will throw mGre than half
a million men out of work here. ac-
cording to conservative estimates
made today.
According to w. G. Bierd, president
of the Chicago & Alton railroad, Chi
cago, the greatest railroad center of
the continent, is unprepared for a
a strike. More than 10000 cars of
freight pass through Chicago daily, he
estimated, and the confusion should
these cars be left at a standsti1l would
affect the entire nation. In addition
to 100000 railway men who would
have to walk out If strike were or
dered, 100000 other workers would be
affected.
Chicago is the terminus for thirty
nine railroads, having a total mileage
of 91,627 miles, or more than 40 per
cent of the entire mileage of the
United States. Fourteen hundred
miles of belt line encircle the city
one-third of the belt line mileage of
the country. There are more than 100
freight yards and 315 freight receiving
stations. The operation of all these
would be paralyzed.
Milk and Ice Are Shipped In.
Children would be the first here to
feel the affect of a strike. More than
three-fourths of the ice supply and
nine-tenths of the milk supply is ship
ped here by railroad. Bierd declared
he did not believe any attempt would
be made by the government to take
over the roads
L have never heard of such a
tnlng, he said. ''If there is such a
project it has never reached me-
He believes a settlement will be
reached through President Wilson.

HOW WOMAN VOTERS TO
GET EVEN WITH ENEMIES

Twelve suffrage states elect one
fifth of the electoral college and
cast one-third of the votes neces-
.sary to elect president.
In the last five presidential cleo
tions not one of these twelve has
gone steadily for any one party.
In 1912, a change of SS votes
would have made California's cleo
toral votes Democratic instead of
Progressive; 376 votes Wyoming,
and 556 Idaho, Republican instead
of Democratic.
In none of the equal suffrage
states would a change of more than
78 per cent of the total vote have
been required to swing the presi-
Dental election of 1912.
For the congressional elections
the same situation prevails.

French Make New Advances
Along SOmme Front.

Petrograd, Aug. 14.-The last for
midable Austro-German barrier to
Lemberg has been broken and the
Teutonic forces are making a general
retreat on a ninety-mile front in the
direction of the Galician capital.
Compelled to retire from the strong
Stripa river positions by the threat
that his armies would be surrounded
and captured, General Bothmer is
falling steadily back on the Zlota Lipa.

sian forces already have crossed the
Zlota Lipa north of Stanislau and the
danger of a blow at his right flank
Will prevent Bothmer from making a
stand here.
Have Lost $4,000 Men.
On the whole line the Russian NOW
ing machine is reaping a bloody har-
vest. On the front east and southeast
OF Lemberg alone, 1t is estimated that
the Austro-Germans have lost $4,000
men, or half their effectives This
fact. it is believed, necessitates the
continued retreat before the Russians

senolng forward their infantry to

May Cut Off Retreat.
Russian cavalry force that cap
tured Mariampol, only eight miles
southeast of Halitz, is believed to be
pushing toward the Halitz-Stanislau
railway north of the Dneister, only
three miles away. The capture of this
crossing would cut off a large force of
Austro-Germans who retired from
Stanislau and force them to make a
wide detour, constantly harassed by
Russian cavalry
French Follow Up Advance.
Paris, Aug. 14.-French troops fol-
lowed up their successes north of the
Somme yesterday with an edvance
south of the river in sharp fighting
last night. Southeast of EStrees,
French detachments captured several
trenches between Fay and the road
to Deniecourt, widening their posi-
tions.
On the front north of the Somme
there was brisk cannonading around
the newly won French positions 1T
Maurepas.
The success of the new French
thrust of the Somme in Saturday and
Sundays fighting increases the peril
of the German line from Combles to
Peronne The capture of the villages
of Maurepas and Clery, necessary to
an advance against Peronne, from the
north, is believed certain under the
next great French blow on this front.
German attacks in the vicinity of
Hill 304 and at Fleury, Verdun sec
tor, were repulSed.

Larimer Stumbled in Chase and
Automatic Discharged.
BULLET WENT THRU HIS BODY
Died This Morning at Hospital
After Operation.
CorOner's Inquest Called as Re-
suit of Shooting.

James Baker, 80 years of age and
an alleged jointist. died at St Francis
hospital at o'clock this morning
from a bullet wound made by Hugh
Larimer, undersheriff, Sunday after
noon during a raid at the Gray dairy
farm, two miles south of the city.
The shooting was unintentional and
probably accidental, according to eye
witnesses.
There certainly was no intention
on my part to shoot Jim Baker,"
said Larimer today. "I had plenty
range if 1 had wished to do so. No
one can regret the occurrence more
than 1 do but at that 1 do not feel I
have committed any crime. 1t is too
bad that people put themselves in a
position where such things may hap
PEN"
Harvey Parsons, chief of police, who
was right behind Larimer when the
fatal shot was fired, declared today
the shooting was purely accidental.
"Larimer seemed to fall forward
when he went through and over a
hedge fence after Baker" said Par
sons, land the shot was fired when his
gun hand was almost on the ground.
That accounts for the fact that the
bullet came out much higher than it
entered Bakers body. I didn't know
Baker had been shot. He continued
to run and went half block after he
was hit. Larimer didn't know he had
been shot. After Larimer fired 1 saw
him place the gun back in his scab-
bard and start after the fleeing

Thru His Body.
The bullet passed completely thru
Bakers body, entering the back and
passing through the stomach, severine
small intestines and cutting the renal
artery. DR.. Merrill Lindsay and DR.
c. r. Silverthorne, who attended him,
did not expect Baker to recover at any
time. Doctor Lindsay stated that his
rugged constitution was the only thing
that kept him alive until this morning

try club. Frequent complaints abou,
