HUGHES SENTIMENT GROWING.

There is more and more talk of Hughes for
the presidential nomination now that the re-
publicans of Oregon have spoken so emphatic
ally in favor of the silent man. Colonel Har-
vev. in his North American Review, has said
that 'sNobody is for Hughes but the people. "
Heretofore there has been no means Of proving
the truth of the assertion. Now, following the
voice of Oregon, there is expected to be vocal
demonstration for Hughes that will gather in
volume as the time for the assembling of the
republican national convention approaches.
Those delegates who keep their ears to the
ground are certain to hear the roar of the on
coming Hughes acclaim, and is not improbable
that they will heed it.

NAnONM BODY Of BOY SCOUTS
NAY GIVE AID ALONG BORDER

New York-In the event of war with
Mexico. nearly 200, 1000 members Of
the Boy Scouts of America are pre-
pared to offer their services through
cooperation with municipal authorities
in the various communities where boy
troops exist, it was announced here at
the national headquarters of the organ
ization.
The policy not to participate in mil
itary operations will not be altered,
but the services Of the young scouts
will be volunteered along the line Of
civic needs, including such assistance
as may be rendered to the National
American Red Cross should the neces-
sites of war tax Red Cross resources
In cities from which the National
Guard has been sent to the front the
Boy Scouts will be prepared for spe-
cial police duty in case Of emergency.
ITO Scouts who live in the commu-
mites near the Mexican border there
may come special opportunities fol
service" the announcement adds
"While it is not seriously expected
that any invasion can take place, ye
the task of defending property anf
lives may seriously tax the authoritie
of city and town governments to sucl
an extent as to make it desirable TO
arrangements to be made through tn
civic authorities for the older Scout
to cooperate by guarding water sup
plies, telegraph lines and other i'm
portant property which might b

CAUSE OF DISEASE MYSTERIOUS
Frantic Mothers Inferno Children in
Tenement Homes - As Cases
Found Outside Gotham.

New York-An appeal to the Amer
lean Red Cross for nurses to aid in
stamping out the scourge of infantile
paralysis here, which, since June l,
has caused the 1876 deaths among
children, was made Saturday by
Health Commissioner Emerson. There
are not enough trained nurses avail
able in New York to handle the work,
he said, and it had been found neces-
sary to ask aid of the chief of the Red
Cross bureau Of nursing at Washing
ton. 1t was intimated that several
hundred workers were needed.
The call for help was sent out after
a day devoted by health authorities
and the most prominent physicians of
the Greater City to a discussion of
means by which the spread of the dis
ease can be checked. Some encourage
ment was found in the fact that fewer
new cases were reported Friday than
on Thursday or Wednesday.
All the medical men agreed, how
ever, that only by unremitting vigil
ance and the strict enforcement of ev-
cry known sanitary precaution could
the epidemeic be kept within bounds.
Another serious phase of the situa-
ton was reported by the Association
for Improving the Condition of the
Poor, which has found that in the con
gested districts of the city frightened
mothers have interned their children
in their tenement homes, in many in
stances with windows closed. Suci
action, it was pointed out, is likely t.
have serious effects, not only on the
children, but on adults as we'll.
Children's reading rooms in the pub
lie libraries have been ordered CLOSED
as precautionary measure, and tn
order barring children from moving
picture theaters will not be modifie'
until conditions improve. Playground
in various parts of the city were OF
dered closed earlier in the day.

kitchener's Work for the Empire.

Kitchener will be remembered for
four great constructive works Of Cf-
ganization. carried out in Egypt. South
Africa, India and England. In each
case his work was creative and revolu-
tionary in conception, and carried out
with the utmost precision in every
least detail No man touched the
world-extended British Empire at
more points. OF touched 1t with such
decisive, fateful effect. 1t may be
said, indeed. that the integrity OF the
Empire, in the twentieth century. is
the work of Kitchener. Four dangers
arose, in regions separated by vast
continental spaces; in each region,
Kitchener met the danger. piercingly
diagnosed the cause, patiently and
courageously overcame It, Every hon
or within the power of his countrymen
to give him was offered to Kitchener !;
yet all honors fall short OF his i'm
mense attainment-From Kitchener

Japan and Russia Agree on China,
Open Door Policy Not Endangered

Tokio-The Japanese foreign Office
Saturday announced as the substance
of the Russo-Japane convention
signed at Petrograd on July 8, the fol-
lowing:
First-Japan will take part in no ar
rangement or political combination di-
rected against Russia Russia will
take part in no arrangement or politi-
cal combination directed against jap
an.
Second = In case the territorial
rights or special interests in the Far
East of one of the contracting parties
which are recognized by the other con-
tracing party are menaced, Japan and
Russia will consult each other on meas
ures to adopt with view to support
ing or extending assistance for the
safeguarding and defense of these
rights and interests.
To a question from the Associated
Press representative as to what effect
the alliance would have upon the open
door and the integrity of China, the
foreign office replied:
tThe convention is effectually ar
emphasis upon and an extension of the
Anglo-J japanese alliance based upor
the territorial integrity of China,
whose open door and integrity are not
endangered. American trade and in
terests are in no wise affected.

As Wheat Season Advances
More Grain Bags Are Needed

Portland-There is more inquiry for
grain bags now than at any time this
season. Sales are not much larger but
buyers are showing decidedly more
interest in bags, and sellers believe an
active market is not far off, 1t is the
improvement in crop conditions in the
Northwest that is causing the inquir-
les to increase. The rains of the past
fortnight have led all grain men to
raise their estimate of the wheat crop
and they are now figuring on yield
of 10, 600, coo to $1,000, 900 bushels
larger than they expected early in
June. This condition naturally has
produced firmer bag market. Local
quotations are still around the 12-cent
mark, but there is not the probability
of a decline that dealers faced short
time ago.
The entire coast crop is growing in
size and there are no more bags in
sight than there were. AS California
authority expresses it, for every bag
in sight two will be needed In Cali
fornia, as here, there has not been
much buying by farmres in anticipa-
ton of crop needs, but this is con-
dition that cannot last much longer.
Much was heard earlier in the season
of bulk handling of grain, but it is
evident now that there will be but
little relief for the situation on this
score

. ms. HfTTY GREEN GREEN, WORLDS
RICHEST WOMAN, DIES At 80

New York = Mrs. Hetty Green,
known as the worlds wealthiest wo-
man, whose fortune is estimated as
high as 500, 900, 900, died here Mon
day, aged 80 years. She had suffered
three strokes Of paralysis in the last
two months and for several weeks had
been practically helpless
Her death occurred at 8:05 O'Clock
at the home of her son, Colonel Ed
ward H. R. Green, adjoining the plain
brick four-story house on the corner of
Central Park West, where Mrs. Green
had lived lately in seclusion, except
for her son and several Japanese serv-
ants and trained nurses.
Wall streets estimates of Mrs.
Green's fortune range from $40, 300,-
600 to 500, 900, 900. Officials of the
Chemical National bank, in which Mrs.
Green once made her downtown head
quarters, declined to hazard guess
concerning the size of her estate.
Hetty Green was the worlds most
remarkable mistress of finance. The
richest woman in America, she lived
almost as frugally as shop-girl. Hel
home was wherever she chose for 6
time to hang her little black crepe anc
bonnet, often in the hall bedroom Of
some cheap boarding house or in some
remote and modest fiat around New
York.
Mrs. Green's eccentric extremes Of
economy led to the popular misconcep
ton of her as "self-made woman
AS matter of fact she was born rich
In 1865 she inherited some $40, 600,
900, which accumulated upon itsel1
until in so years it had mutlipliet
nearly ten times. She also inherited
family traditions which had been
pride for three centuries, and whicl
she was anxious to perpetuate in he
children.

Blame for Recent Irish Uprising
Placed by Royal Commission

London = The Royal commission
which investigated the Irish rebellion
in its report submitted Tuesday says
the responsibility for the outbreak
does not rest with Baron Wimborne,
the lord lieutenant, since resigned,
who is declared to have been in no way
answerable for the policy of the gov
eminent.
The chief secretary for Ireland, Au-
gustine Birrell, who resigned shortly
after the suppression of the outbreak,
was primarily responsible, say the re-
port
The Royal commission was presided
over by Baron Hsrdings. Outlining
the causes of the outbreak in Ireland,
the report says:
1.-THE fact should be borne in mind
that there is always section of opin-
ion in that country bitterly opposed to
British connection and that in times
Of excitement this section can impose
its sentiments on largely increased
numbers of the people.
The report points out that it is out
side the scope of the commissions in
of the Irish executive was adpoted by
the cabinet, or to attach responsibility
to any but the civil and military exec
utive in Ireland The report ther
gives these conclusions:
"That the main cause of the rebel
lion appears to be that lawlessness
was allowed to grow up unchecked anc
, that Ireland for several years had beer
administered on the principle that il
was safer and more expedient to leave
the law in allegiance if collision with
any faction of the Irish people coul(
, therefore be avoided
; The importation of large quantities
of arms into Ireland and the federation
