Seek Least Exbensiue Method
 of Granting Trainnen Eight
 Hour Day and Avoiding Strike
Committee of Railroad Heads and President Wilson Again Confer-No Announcement Is Made the Results Added Freight Rates May Be Urged in Order to Provide Railroads With Proper Backing to Meet Demands
(By Review Leased Wire1

 WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.-In anoth- CT effort to aid the presidents of the country's railroads to find some way in which to accept an eight hour day for their trainmen and avert the threatened strike. President Wilson tonight conferred for an hour and q half with presidents Hale Holden. of the Burlington. Daniel Willard of the Baltimore and Ohio and R. $. Lovett of the Union Pacific Neither White House officials nor the presidents would discuss the conference. It was said on high authority. however. that the three executives went to the White House to receive an answer to the suggestions that they made to President Wilson last night, that he give them more specific information as to how the railroads may get the additional revenue necessary to take care of the greater payrolls tha; will come with the eight hour day.
 Earlier in the day President Wilson discussed the railroad situation at length with Senator Newlands and Representative AdamsOn. chairmen of the two committees of congress in charge of legislation affecting inter state commerce. Their visit was the consequence of that of the railroad men last night The two chairmen are said to have agreed that the Presidents position in the present situation is right and to have said that every effort could be expected in congress to put through any legis- latioH which might help solve the present difficulty and provide for the future.
 One of the means for recoupmeit suggested by the President to the railroads in his public outline of his position was through an increase in freight rates. It was pointed out to- night that the President cannot di- rectly ask the interstate commerce commission ta grant increases to the rates. Congress. however. might pass a resolution directing the commission. in view of what it considers an un- precedented situation. to grant high CT rates.
 Congress also might pass a resoIu- tion directing the commission to in- vestigate all matters involved in the controversy and the whole subject of the regulation of the railroads and their employees One of the results expected from today's conference is an early effort to pass bills introduc- ed several months ago to increase the commissions membership from seven to nine. It became evident tonight that most of the railroad executives have come to believe that there can be only one way of preventing a strike and that is by accepting the eight hour day plan The chief ef- fort in their own conferences today was to find some scheme by which an s hour day may be put in operation on all railroads at the least added ex- pense. Many suggestions along this line had been rade by the President but no one of them has been regarded as probable

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Edward w. Morrison. a millionaire recluse. was named in proceedings before Federal Judge Landis today as the real father of two girls he recently adopted.
 The accuser was Joseph Burn stein. a junk dealer. His wife. he de clared confessed to him on her death bed that Morrison was the father of the girls.
 The millionaire. who is nearly eigh- tv years of age. denied the accusa- tion. His reason for adopting the girls. he testified. was because their mother had pleaded with him, when she was taken i'll. to care for them He had known them all their lives, he said. and was fond of them.
 Anna. the eldest girl. is eighteen; her sister. Alice. is l6 years old They have made their home with Morrison since their adoption about month ago

 The Deutschland, a German submarine built for carrying mer- chandise, arrived at Baltimore from Bremen cn July g with cargo of dyestuffs and mail. Her arrival was hailed in Germany as the beginning of a regular sub marine merchant service between the United States and Germany which would be able to defy the British blockade. It was an- nounced that she would be fol lowed shortly by the Bremen, a sister ship.
 The Deutschland left Baltimore on her return journey on August |, with cargo of rubber and metal.

The Democrats of New York. after much testing of different men, have chosen Judge Seabury of the court of appeals to be their representative in the race for governor of the state of New York. Judge Seabury will have as his opponent Governor Whitman, and 1t may be possible that Judge Hughes will have some very perti- nent things to say about the race, as Governor Whitman is his personal and political friend Fifty-six out of sixty-nine counties of the state went on record as favoring the nomination of Judge Seabury.

Both Houses of British Legis- lative Body Adjourns Until October 1Oth-Feeling of Confidence Very Strong.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-Both houses of Parliament adjourned today until October 10, after adopting a bill ex- tending the present parliament anOth- CT seven months.
 Not since the outbreak of the war has parliament adjourned on 9 situ. ation such as the present and which was described by David Lloyd George minister of war, and other ministers in debates as giving so little cause for anxiety and so hopeful an outlook for the future. The debates reflected a feeling of confidence, although ex- pressing realization that heavy tasks are ahead and that there is no pros pect for hostilities coming to a spec dy end.
 It is the general belief that before parliament reassembles a further i'm portant stage of the entente allied offensive will have been developed in the Near East, which may have great influence on the whole field of operations.
 WAR SUMMARY
 With no important changes in the main war theatre, interest remains centered on the new allied offensive on the Saloniki front The latest dispatches, however. throw little light on the situation. and the allies plans are somewhat obscured.
 London reports that the Bulgarians have advanced along the Struma Val ley and have entrenched themselves at various points. Berlin reports further advances for them on the right wing where they face the Ser bians. apparently, however. no act ion of first importance has yet devel- oped
 Interest in the attitude of the Greeks has been heightened by dis patches telling of the determination of the Greek commander at Serres to resist the Bulsarians and of vol unteers being organized for his as sistance by the Venizlos leaders at Saloniki There has been no further development in the Rumanian situa- tion. The last report from Berlin maintains that Rumania has not reached a decision.
 On the western front tho French apparently are marking time while the British push against ThieDval and Guillamont. London reports fresh tightening of the rin" around Thiep- val in the canture of 200 wards of German trenches south of the town. Bitter fighting is going on in this section. The Germans succeeded in entering some British trenches but. according to London, were immedi- atelv evicted
 The fierce struggle around Flcury in tho Verdun sector continues. The French claim an aDDreciable advance between Fleurv and Thieaumont and tha couture of 200 prisoners.

SIMPLY A CASE OF WHEN.

With every mortal in this town
OF normal intelligence and thinking
age it is simply a case of when. -
Some may scott, others may ridi-
guile this statement, but it is true.
For instance
Walking in the straight and mar
row path is not matter of compul-
sion or force of habit. 1t is done
only WHEN we choose to do so.
The inoffensive dog or cat is kick
ed only WHEN the kicker chooses
to descend to the level of the brute.
We go to church WHEN we
please, we believe the minister
WHEN wechoose, and We serve the
devil WHEN it strikes our fancy.
Habit and necessity have no place in
any of these.
We boost for the town WHEN it
pleases us, or we knock it WHEN
the inclination overtakes us, or we
lapse into state Of Indifference
WHEN our thoughts and desires
are dormant.
We are prosperous when We give
our best thought and energy to our
business affairs, and we enjoy life
60 the fullest only when We emerge
from the shadows and bak in the
sunlight of existence.
Go where you please, and view
the subject from any angle you
choose, in almost every instance
life is simply one long case of when.

A number of character witnesses
were introduced by the defense during
the Underhill trial at New Castle. DR..
r. R. Hopkins testified that Under
hills character was good, then on
cross-examination, admitted that he
had heard that his friend, Judge l.. C..
Abbott, had once informed Underhill
that he could not get justice in his
court because a justice of the peace
was not permitted to sentenced a man
to be hung.
L. L. Harris testified that Under

Keller Harris denied having done this.
He said he wrote to the newspapers,
upon the insistence of a member of
his family, refuting a published state
ment that Underhill was related to the
Harris family.
After testifying that Underhill was
a man of good character. Henry Math-
er admitted that the prevailing public
opinion in Richmond was that Under

court found Underhill guilty of the
same charge, returning a verdict of

verdict to the Wayne circuit court.

that court to the Henry circuit court.
Underhill is considering an appeal

verdict to the state supreme court. His
attorneys have until Saturday of this

this action is not taken Judge Cause

Underhill is now out on bond. If no

.MEN TAKE BRIDES
LEARNERS ADVICE

That two-thirds OF the men in the
Y. NJ c. A. dormitory should not be
rooming there but should get married
and maintain homes OF their own, is
the contention Of Secretary Ellis Lear
ner and some of the directors. But the
men refuse to become benedicts SO
what is the association to do?
Although no immediate action is
contemplated it is probable that with
in year or so the local association
will follow the example of other west
ern branches in establishing a wage
and age limit for the dormitory men.
This would force the removal Of many
of the occupants in favor CT men max
ing lower wages and younger in years

SOUTH SIDERS Want
BETTER STREETS

Permanent improvements Of roads
in the south part Of the city and the
Boston pike. south of the city, is being
considered by special committee of
the South Side Improvement assOcia-
ton. A petition probably will be cir
culated within the next few days ask
ing an appropriation from the county
for a concrete road under the three
mile road law.
John Niewoehner is chairman of the
special committee from the improve
ment association and said today that
no definite line of action had been
outlined nor the route for the road
chosen. The south siders, however,
are considering beginning the concrete
road at the south end Of the Eighth
street brick pavement, running sew
eral squares south and then cutting
over to the Boston pike and extending
approximately two and half miles
south.

Mexicans Fall Back.
Thomas Davis, rancher. living two

set out, brought in the details of the
first clash between the Americans and
Mexicans.
The Americans had just started
across the border line when the Next
cans fired a fusillade at the troopers
of the Thirteenth cavalry which led
the expedition. Without awaiting an
order, the troopers in advance unslung
their carbines and fired back. The
Mexicaps then retreated There were
no casualties among the American
soldiers, the Mexican craftsmanship
being poor.
The skirmish was over so quickly
that the column was not halted. 1t

course through the treacherous Sierra

Davis thought that the attacking
Mexicans were Carranzista troops be-
longing to the command of General

this effect was contradicted by official
reports from Columbus stating that
that General Bertani was cooperating
with the Americans. 1t was also flatly
denied by General Gavira, CarranZa
commander at JuareZ.
