Efforts UnGUailing to
DraW Statement From
Hughes on His Speech
BY Associated Press

Washington, June 6. - Efforts to-
day to draw a statement from Justice
Hughes regarding his speech yester-
day to a class of girl graduates were
unavailing.
The justice was not to be seen for
a discussion of the subject. His secre-
tar! pointed out informally. as he did
last night, that Mr.. Hughes accepted
the invitation to present a flag to the
honor graduates several months ago
and that he was not speaking for
political purposes.

to-day. but it was not believed that
any of them had proceeded far enough
to clarity the situation within the next
several hours. At least for that length
of time no decided change seemed i'm
minent.
Point to Hughes Speech
The two latest elements to be
brought into consideration to-day
were Justice Hughes speech in Wash
ington yesterday touching upon Amer
icanism and discussion of Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts, as a COM
promise candidate for the Republican
nomination likely to command the
support of Colonel Roosevelt.
Justice Hughes supporters pointed
to his speech as a substantial declara-
tion on the question of Americanism
and contended that 1t cleared up the
only issue on which the justice had
not previously announced his attitude.
Those opposed to the justice charac-
terized his speech as only list of
platitudes." Many of the latter
charged that the speech was carefully
timed for the present occasion but the
friends of the justice answer that ar
gument by pointing out that his en-
gagement to speak was made several
months ago and that the subject fitted
the occasion which was the presenta-
tion of flag to graduates OF a girls
school.
Expect Roosevelt Demonstration
Almost overshadowing the maneu-
vering among the Republicans to-day
is question of what the Progressive
convention will do when it assemblies
tomorrow. The Republican leaders
regard it as charged with possibilities
of the most potent point. On every
hand they expect a tremendous dem
onstration for Roosevelt, despite ef-
forts in some quarters to hold back a
nomination until the Republicans have
indicated their purpose and there has
been opportunity for further confer
ences between the two factions.
The movement for a delay in the
Progressive convention however has
been met by a decision of the leaders
to have immediate action, or at least
not later than Thursday. Victor Muir

HIGH cosT OF GASOLINE.

For some time the high cost of gaso-
line has been in evidence. 1t has
been especially felt by those who de-
pend upon it for motive power and
there has been little or no progress
made In the efforts which have been
launched to bring about a reduction.
There was an Interesting furry caused
by the claims that new methods of
manufacture which would make the
cost Of production considerably less
would result in the dropping of the
retail price and not little hope was
raised by the reports that investiga-
tors had discovered other and cheaper
fluids for the driving of internal COM
bustion engines, but whatever may re-
suit from these ideas in the future
there has been no slashing Of prices,
and gasoline is still depended upon for
fuel
There has been an investigation
made by the federal trade commission
for the purpose of determining the
reason Of the high price of this com
modify. The claim has all along been
made that the large increase in con-
sumption both in this country and
abroad, with the European war alnos:
wholly responsible for the big gain
in export business, drew SO heav-
lily upon the supply that higher prices
were made necessary. Now it is main
tanned by the independents that the
Standard Oil companies are to blame
and that while thers is big increase
In the use OF gasoline there has been
a falling of in other oils, which it has
been necessary TO store up in big
quantities, and as a result the decrease
in the profit formerly made on the
latter has had to be made up from the
sales of the former. II that is the
case it will be interesting to note what
the commission viii have to offer in
the way Of a recommendation to neei
the situation and bring the price Of
this much used commodity back tc
earth again.

A MUCH NEEDED PROTECTION,

BY q recent announcement x q dis
closed that Magrpni has perfected q
device which II 10 declared will make
the collision Of steamships. or vessels
at sea impossible. and IN view OF the
many which occur IN the course Of a
year and the loss OF lie which Is ike
ly TO accompany them. It can De ap-
preciated that the new invention will
be most valuable contribution In be-
half Of safety.
The apparatus Is intended to be at
tached to the bridge OF the vessel
where It gives warning OF the ap-
proach OF another ship. 50 that by be-
ing carefully watched al intervals the
necessary information Is at hand TO
warn the navigator ana aid hirn In
keeping away from serious trouble.
Had such apparatus been available and
in use in the past thousands OF lives,
great distress and much property
would have been saved.
Ordinarily during clear weather there
would be no use for such a device bus
it is just what Is needed when fog is
encountered and that IS not infrequent
during certain periods OF the year. Fog
has been the cause OF an endless
amount Of trouble ON the high seas
and along the coasts. Ezforts to over
come it have been made with varying
degrees Of success. Submarine bells
furnish a certain amount of protec-
ton, while whistles serve as a warning
over limited area, but IL Marconl
has succeeded in furnishing the ma
riners with a simple piece OF mechan-
ism which win put an end to disasters
Of a certain class on the water i;
should be hailed with delight and
every vessel should be equipped there
with both for its own protection and
for the safety Of others. Marconi- has
made some most valuable contributions
to science by his inventions but there
are reasons to believe that he has moi
as yet reached the limit Of his skin.
