REPUBLICANS HAVE HOPE Country Wearies or Tariff Agita tion, and Democrats Ignore Former Pledge for Re vision on Scientific Plan. HT HARRY J. PROWN. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. ul lngton. July f The billposters of the Harmon Presidential clrcua have started on their Eastern trip. Although they hit hot yet begun to platter the high board fences with their advertisements, their method are about as crude ae the rrew which usually precedes the great three-ring combinations which ara the delight of the small boy of the country. The first step of the Harmon man ager was to have Senator Pomerena lve out a statement that the Governor ad Presidential ambitions. This did ft even attract passing notices from the Eastern papers. Everybody asked "Who Is this Pomrrene and why should he presume to call attention to Governor Harmon as a Presidential can didate?" No one took the Senator seri ously and It waa evident to tha Hart-inn manaaers that aomethtng else should be done to place the Governor In the Presidential race. Second Kffort Fa IK Too. Accordingly a call was Issued from Columhus for a meeting of tha Ohio IemocratIc Congressional delegation. This was hailed as the Inauguration of an erganiied Harmon movement. The delegation met and after considerable controveray ver the advisability of at tempting to force a growth of tho Har mon boom, the wiser members of the delegation Insisted that there was no question as to Harnn being able to get the National delegates from the tate and before there could be any substantial progress In the country the Governor must be taken up by the Na tional Democratic leaders. But fearing that they might be chacged with dis loyalty to the Governor the delegation put up a pretense of an organisation. Two committees were appointed and It waa announced that these commit tees would get busy and start tha ball rolling for the Governor. But the com mltteea have not held a meeting and there has been absolutely nothing to Indicate that they have any faith In tha Harmon boom. Wllaon Formidable Foe. Realizing that these two efforts to put life Into the Harmon boom have net with no encouragement, the bill posters have been called Into action. There was sent to most of. the large Eastern papera this week a long lauda tory Illustrated story covering every thing that Governor Harmon has done either In his private or public life from 'the cradle op to date. It Is under stood that this Is to be followed with other articles, campaign pictures, but tons and everything In the way of cam paign advertisements that can be de vised. In the meantime Governor Wilson Is quietly picking up delegates In New England. New Tork and reaching far out Into the West, where he developed considerable strength on his recent sneaking trip. Even Speaker 'Clark, who announced that owing to condi tions In Missouri he would not be a candidate. Is gaining atrength dally In tha South. The members of Congress from the South have refused to accept Ills emphatic declination to become a candidate and by the present pros pects there will be three or four times as many Clark delegatea In tha conven ' tlon as there ara supporters of Har mon. If Governor Harmon la develop ing any strength outside of the State of Ohio It Is not yet apparent. For some reason or other the Democrats of the country refuse to enthuse over the Governor. v TaTt Opposition Dwindle. In the meantime tha talk about rival candidates for President Taft at tha neat Republican National convention baa toned down to a whisper. Even moet of the eo-called Insurgent Repub licans are now ready to support the President. The only difference In tha Republican party now Is over reciproc ity and this question will be settled before the special session of Congress adjourns. While there Is a prospect of bitter strife In the Democratic party over the Presidential nomination the Republican leaders are now preparing Tor the next Presidential election. Tha excellent record that President Taft baa made during his Administration haa renominated him and tho Republican party Is clearing for action. The real light In the campaign of 111 will be over the control of the House.

Stanley Brown, of Illinois, and E. K. Scribner, superintendent of schools at Ishpemlng. Mlsti., today threw new vigor Into their plans for a lively fight Tuesday morning In the department of secondary education to force the more aristocratic universities of tha Now England States to recog nize high school courses of study and hlsrh school diplomas. Upon the outcome depends the rec ognition of such vocational studies as would prove useful to a student un able, because of circumstances, to com plete his das I red term and the com pulsion of the study of ancient lan guages. tls W. Caldwell; of tbe University of Chicago, will present hat institu tion's viewpoint of tha debate and Harvey M. Davis will uphold the stand ard of Harvard and the Eastern uni versities he represents In the discus sion. The arguments of these will be left to discussion pf the delegates and tha subsequent recommendations will be nation-wide In effect. , "It Is the West against the East, the West fighting for democracy and the East maintaining Its rlgbt to make Its Institutions as aristocratic and exclu sive as It desires," said Brown today. In recounting the dlfferices that have brought about tbe present controversy.' "If the Eastern universities continue to exact .a special entrance elimina tion with Greek and Latin and physics and refuse to recognize vocational sub jects, such as manual training, me chanical drawing and the like, the high school might lust as well stop graduating students Intending to en ter the universities, for It means a practical refusal to recognize the effi ciency of high school educators."

Only Professional Arbitrator to Country Has Full Power to Make Settlements. TOPEKA. Kan.. July . tSpecial.) W. L. A. Johnson, for 14 years commis sioner of the Kansas Bureau of Labor, has become the only professional arbi trator in the country. He Is to arbi trate all labor difficulties between the miners and mlneowners In Kansas, Mis souri. Oklahoma and Arkansas. It Is Mr. Johnson's Job p to prevent strikes and to decide labor difficulties that may come up In the coal mines of the Southwest district, and when he settles the question both sides must ac cept his decision. " ' The new position was decided upon by the Coal Operators' Association and the district branch of the United Mine workers. It was more or less an ex periment. The miners had been out of work for four months, and the big mines suffered because they were not being operated all last Summer. Even after the contract was signed. It waa realized that there would be hundreds of little differences, many of which would be difficult of settlement. Many of these disputes would cause shutdowns of plants for a few days or a week. The miners wanted to work and the operators wanted the coal mined, so It was agreed that the operators would pay 13000 a year and the miners 12000 and secure a professional arbitrator a man who had been a laborer and had handled strikes. Mr. Johnson receives 13000 a year and expenses. . GOULD SCION GERMAN DUKE Prince de Sagan Renounces Title to Estate Sousht by Heiress. s PARIS. July 9. (Special.) Jason Howard, son of Helle.

Everybody who could do so had taken to the woods and lake resorts Satur day. There were numerous drownings reported from nearby points, the vic tims being those who sought to es cape the intense heat.

Players Doff Caps and Say "Mister" and "Sir" to Baumgarten, Who Thinks It Must Be Dream. TACOMA, Wash.. July 9. For the first time In the history, of baseball, an Umpire day has been celebrated. This afternoon 5000 persons turned out ' to the ball park to fete Vmplre Jake Baumgarten and show him that baseball can be played under condi tions where the umpire is not. even questioned. Baumsarten was showered with roses and a score or more mam moth bouquets were presented to him. Throughout the contest between Ta coma and Vancouver, nothing but words of commendation and praise were heard about the umpire. At the close of the game, Baumgarten took his station at the grandstand gate and presented roses to the women who had attended the game. At the beginning of the contest, Baumgarten was introduced by Lo renzo Dow. State Representative, who declared that the day had been set aside In honor of the umpire his-profession, not the Individual. He said that Baumgarten, representing the men of his calling, was thrice weicome. Then came the presentation of flowers amid cheers of approval. During the game, players, when ask ing about rulings, removed their caps and used "sir" and "mister" in ad dressing the official In charge of the game. Baumgarten said afterward that It seemed to be too good to be true and that he would wake up tomorrow in Spokane, about the third inning, and find out that an umpire was still an undesirable citizen. Sunday games In Tacoma have frequently been tem pestous for "the limps." The movement for Umpire day was the Idea of G. W. Bishop, sporting edi tor of the Tacoma News. It was started first in jeet, but was taken up by a committee of baseball fans and carried through to a complete and un qualified success. Fans declare that Umpire day will be an annual fea ture upon the local grounds In the future. - , POSSE FOILED BY ZEPHYR Bit or Paper Coveted ly Sheriff. Sails Away on Breeze. EUGENE. Or., July 9.

D., gave her new daughter-in-law when she met her elopins son and- his pretty young bride as they stepped off the Shasta Limited at the Union Depot yesterday afternoon, after she had has tened from Southern California by an earlier train to intercept them. Then turning to her son, who stood smiling with a suitcase on one arm and his bride on the other, she cried: "You think you are very smart, don't you?" That was all there was to what friends of the young man had feared might be a wrathful interview. The beaming mother at oncetk charge of the younj? couple and whisked them out of the way of reporters. "Everybody Happy,'' Says Mother. "We don't want any more publicity about this little affair." she said, aa she tucked them into a taxieab. "Everybody Is happy, and that Ts all there Is to it.

The bride was married In San Francisco, in such a hurry, af ter having accompanied her husband-to-be on the train from Los Angeles, that she forgot to notify her relatives in Los Angeles of her wed ding, and wore the same dress for the ceremony and on the train that she had on when she left the telephone office. Young Mrs. Chaffee, who is only 19 years old, was Just as much averse to telling her love affairs to reporters as her husband. When she discovered a photographer Just focusing a dangerous looking In strument on th'em, she pulled a big black picture hat over her face and Jumped In front of her husband, spoil ing the negative. Chaffee and his wife will not have to worry over the problems of finance thar sometimes trouble newly-wedded folk, for the young man, who is a nephew of Lleutenant-General Adna R.

"When young Chaffee 'left Los Angeles he wore a half-grown mustache, but when he boartied the Shasta Limited at San Francisco, following the marriage, this decoration had been removed. Possibly, that was one of the considerations of the wedding. "They managed to keep their mar riage a secret until copies of The Sun day Gregonian, telling of the romance and Its denoument, were v brought aboard the train In Southern Oregon. Then the secret was out The passen gers, by this tfme deeply interested In the youthful lovers, tendered them a reception.
