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. The conduct of tie Tammany-t-'oulhern
combine during this special
session baa Inspired the Republican
traders In the House with courage and

HARVARD IDEA CRITICISED
Elimination of "Educated Fool"
From Universities Is Aim
"Snobbish" Attitude of East

SAX FRANCISCO. Jaly 9. (Special.)
With the announcement of the im
pending clash between Harvard and
Chicago Universities over their re
spective entrance flans before tho Na
tional Education Association delegates
from the West and MldTile West, head
ed by J. 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. .

CHICAGO, July 9. (Special.) Chi
cago and the Middle West continued to
brojl -under the plttles heat today,
with no hope of relief from- the sky,
which covered the afflicted territory
like a vast hot steel dome. Eight
deaths were reported here today, the
small number being due to the fact
that It was a holiday and work gen
erally waa suspended.
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. Infant mortal
ity continues at an alarming rate, and
efforts to check this disaster will be
redoubled tomorrow and as long as the
heat siege continues.
Crop Situation Mixed.
The crops situation .is again chal
lenging the serious attention of the
public. There was rain today in Ne
braska. Kansas and the Southwest that
seemed to presage the breaking up of
the drought In those regions. Three
quarters of an inch fell nearly all over
Kansas, and there were prospects of
heavier, continued rains. In Oklahoma
the precipitation was from one to two
Inches. ' In Missouri it was slight and
was not much help to parching crops.
Rain, amounting to an Inch and a half
at Norfolk and nearly two inches In
the Rosebud country, covered North
ern Nebraska and Southern South Da
kota last night and early this morn
ing. The rain extended 150 miles west
of Norfolk to Alnsworth, and 200 miles
northwest of Norfolk into South Da
kota. . Souht Dakota Hopeless.
But .crops in other sections of South
Dakota ara hopeless. Private advices
from various points admit this. Hun
dreds of settlers who took up Govern

their first crop to tide them over, will
ask the Government for an extinslon of
time, as they are almost destitute. There

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. - ,

County Supervisors adopted a resolu
tion yesterday to enact an ordinance
July 17 removing all county restric

A hug, a kiss, and the fervent salu

greeting Mr,s. H. F. Chaffee, of Armenia.
N. 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. My boy Is pleased, and I
am only concerned for his pleasure."
Just before the tax! whirled away.
Mrs. Chaffee relented enoush to say,
"The affair was hastened a littlo bit,
but it was all right, anyway. We sim
ply could not think of returning to
North Dakota and leaving this littlo
dear behind." The "little dear" in the
person of the pew Mrs.,Eben Whitney
Chaffee, who before she eloped with
young Chaffee at Los Angeles, Friday,
was Miss Jessie Lillian Maud Beesley.
a telephone operator, smiled wlnsomely
and nestled very contentedly against
her mother-in-law.-
Young Chaffee, who used to be a
newspaper reporter, and -used the ex
perience he had gained in interview
ing folk who didn't want to talk, in
keeping from being interviewed him
self, broke the news of lifs wedding
to his mother by telegraph. She imme
diately took the first train for Port
land to meet them. She didn't have
a single word of reproach.
Bride Foils Reporters.
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. Chaffee,
retired, now of Los Angeles, Is said to
be almost a millionaire in his own
name. '
Mother Takes Them Home.
The Shasta Limited arrived at 2:3
o'clock, and Mrs. Chaffee Sr., promptly
took her charges to the Imperial Ho

until 7 o'clock last nisht. when they all
left over the North Bank road lor ner
home in Armenia, N. D.. where her son
and daughter-in-law will live.
"Fellow passengers on the train were
attracted by the young couple both at '
the station and on the train as soon as
It pulled out of Los Angeles," said a
man who traveled in the same Pull
man with Chaffee and his bride from
Los Angeles to Portland. "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

and Its denoument, were v brought

Then the secret was out The passen
