: Pasadena, Calif.-The East van
pushed the West when Harvard de-
feated the University Of Oregon, z to

game.
The versatile attack of the eastern
CTS, based on smashing straight foot
ball tactics featured with forward
passes, tricks and punts, was met by
stalwart defense from Oregon. The
fighting qualities Of the western de-
tenders were exemplifed to the last
minute of play when Harvard, separat-
ed by inches from a second touchdown,
was held for downs. Harvard's points
were scored on touchdown by
Church and goal kicked by A. Hor-
ween.

TWO LARGE FACTO-
RIES SEEKING LOCA-
ton IN MAYSVILLE
Chamber Of Commerce Secretary VIII
Investigate Proposition of Two
Large Concerns Which Want to
Move Their PlaIes Here.

Secretary George Kirk, of the Mays
vile Chamber of Commerce, goes to
Cincinnati tomorrow to hold consulta-
tions with the heads of two large man
ufacturing concerns who desire to To-
cate their manufactures in this city
in the immediate future. Both con-
Germs are employers of considerable
skilled and unskilled labor and both
concerns have been sighted to Mays
vile through the industrial bureau of
the c. & o. Railway Company
One of the concerns manufactures
i hats, caps, etc, for men and already
Secretary Kirk and one of the Rail-
way Companys Industrial Agents
have located a building in Maysville
that is suited to the firms needs. There
has been much correspondence be-
tween the Chamber of Commerce and
this firm and they are quite favorably
impressed with the city This firm is
asking no bonus to locate here but is
seeking a location such as Maysville
offers.
The second concern is manufacture
er of gas heaters, instantaneous water
heaters and hold the patent for the
manufacture of a toilet flush tank
that dispenses with the annoyance
and expense of the unreliable rubber
ball valve. 1t is possible that this CON
cern will desire local people to become
stockholders in the company, however
this is not entirely known Snd Secre-
tary Kirk will learn these details in
his visit tomorrow. A suitable loca-
tton for this second firm has not as yet
been found but it is certain that such
can be found here. This second firm
would give employment to a large
number of skilled mechanics and its
location here would greatly increase
the city's weekly pay roll.
Both concerns are recommended as
being in charge of first class execu-
tives and complete investigation into
their past affairs will be made by the
Chamber of Commerce.

CARPENTERS SETTLE
TROUBLE AMICABLY
AT UNION Meeting
All the Union Carpenters VIII Work
Two Weeks at Old Scale In Order
To Protect Contractors on Their
Old Contracts.

At meeting of the Maysville Car
penters' Union held Monday evening at
the Masonic Temple, it took but a very
short time to settle amicably the mis-
understanding between the workmen
and their contractors as to the appli-
cation Of the new wage scale which
went into effect with the first of April.
The misunderstanding between the
carpenters and the contractors was
simply the application of this new
wage scale. There was no misunder-
standing as to the price the carpen-
ters were to receive but it was under
stood by the contractors that the
workmen were to finish old jobs which
had been contracted prior to the adop-
ton of the new scale at the old rate of
60 cents per hour. The carpenters un-
derstood that the new wage scale was
to go into effect with the first of April
on all work.
At Monday nights meeting it was
agreed that the carpenters would work
at the old scale OF oO per nOur TOT
period of two weeks after the new
scale was supposed to have gone into
effect as a protection to the local con-
tractors. This two weeks period will
be up on Friday of this week and all
union carpenters will receive pay at
the rate Of so cents an hour up to and
including Friday of this week but af-
ter that time the new scale of so cents
an hour will be maid to all carpenters
in the city belonging to the local un-
ion.
This settlement of the misunder-
standing is perfectly satisfactory to
both workmen and contractors and the
apparent trouble is thus settled and all
cleared in the minds of all parties.

Big FIGHT IS
PROMISED AMONG
KY. DEMOCRATS
Stanley and Beckham Leading OppOs-
Ing Factions in State Democratic
Circles Hot Fight
Promised.

Kentucky Democrats, when they
meet at Louisville May 4, to select
four delegates-at-large to the San
Francisco convention. may have a
pretty fight on their hands.
From present surface indications,
the old wet and dry antagonisms may
reassert themselves and form the ba-
sis of a Cox and anti-Cox contest on
the floor of the state convention
Governor Cox. of Ohio, is an active
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
tion for President. In Kentucky he is
backed by Senator Stanley, ex-senator
Johnson N. Camden, Representatives
Cantrill, Rouse and Field, Senator
Thomas A. Combs, and of, course by a
goodly following of lesser lights who
are attached to these leaders or who
do some Independent thinking of their
own.
Senator Camden, Senator Combs and
will have charge of the preconvention
headquarters of Governor Cox in Ken
lucky and will at once open an office
in Louisville and get busy perfecting
an organization designed to capture
the Governor.
Senator Beckham and Congressman
Johnson, Kincheloe, Barclay and
Thomas, likewise General Haly, it is
understood, have not yet attached
themselves to the Cox bandwagon.
and it is not certain that they will ever
do so.
Senator Camden, in an interview
with a Louisville newspaper man,
said that he favored Governor Cox be-
cause he believed that the Governor is
the one man who can defeat the Re-
publicans in November, although he
will cheerfully support any other
Democrat who may be nominated
Senator Camden went on to say that
Governor Cox is safe, sane and liber-
al" The trouble to come, if it does
come, in the Kentucky convention, and
in the San Francisco convention, will
| flow out of that word liberal" When
you refer to a Democrat today as a
liberal man." you speak of a fellow
who is not so welded to nationwide
prohibition that he will not agree to
light wines and beer" Governor Cox
is from Ohio. There are lot of lib
eral' folk in Ohio so liberal in
fact, that they despise prohibition as
intensely as the devil is said to dis
like holy water.
In Kentucky the liberal or wet,
element is for Governor Cox. The
conservative, or dry, men like Beck
hom, Haly and others, may elect to
follow William Jennings Bryan and at
i the San Francisco convention resist
all efforts to put wet plank in the ma
tional platform. They cannot we'll take
this attitude If at the same time they
4 go instructed, first and last, for Gov
i ernor Cox, the Ohio liberal"
| 1t is anticipated therefore that there
will be an attempt made by the Beck
ham wing of the party to secure an
uninstructed delegation. This will
arouse the Stanley faction to fight
ing pitch, because everybody knows
how much Senator Stanley is welded
to the dry side of the liquor question.
This difference over the question of
nationwide prohibition will also aggra-
vate the clash between Senator Beck
ham and Senator Stanley in their eff
forts to control the party organization

RAILROAD LABOR
BOARD is NAMED
BY PRES. WILSON
General Leonard Wood Is Called From
Campaigning To Take Charge .Of
Chicago Conditions.

Washington, April 13. - The Rail-
road Labor board was appointed Tues
day morning by President Wilson. The
members are: Representing the pub
lie: George w. Hangar, Washington,
d. c., Henry Hunt, Cincinnati; r. M.
Barton, Tennessee. Representing the
railroads: Horace Baker, Cincinnati
]. H. Elliot and William L. Clark. Rep
resenting the employees: Elbert Phil
lips, A. o. Wharton and James J. For
rester.
The President has called a meeting
of the Cabinet for Wednesday to dis
cuss "the general situation" White
House officials would not say that the
unauthorized" railroad strike has
prompted the call, but it was under
stood that this would be the principal
subject discussed.
Chicago, April 13. - Major General
Wood, commanding general of the
Central department, is hurrying back
to Chicago today to take charge of the
military situation here in the railway
striks crisis.
Dispatches from Boston this morn
ing announced that the general had
Cancelled his leave of absence and
abandoned for the time his campaign
for the Republican Presidential nom
ination.
Coming on the heels of the warning
given the strike leaders yesterday by
District Attorney Clyne, that the strik-
ing railroad men must go back to their
work or give up their jobs and hant
other employment and that the Gov
ernment was determined that trains
should run, the generals announce
ment is regarded here as unusually
significant.
