sult the question of that body's chair
manship. At 6:30 o'clock tonight they ad
journed utnll tomorrow morning. More
than a doxen names were considered.
The meeting- was entirely amicable.
No feeling developed against any par
ticular candidate. Mr. Hllles told the
committeemen that under no circum
stances would he take the position,
but that he would fork with all his
ability for the President's re-election.
Delay Not Unexpected.
Predictions were made tonight that
the chairmanship might not be settled
for several days. President Taft was
said to be In a receptive emood and
entirely willing to take any. man who
met with the approval of the sub
committee. The President was host tonight to
members of the sub-committee and
man) leading Republicans of the coun
try at an outdoor reception.
Harry M. Daugherty, of Ohio, whom
the President Is said to favor for the
place very strongly, arrived this morn
ing. So did Arthur Vorys and Al
Morrell, both also of Ohio. Frank L.
Smith, of Springfield. I1L; Dan Camp
bell, postmaster of Chicago, and John
Wesley Hlllfl of New York, were among
the other arrivals. It was said Repre
sentative William B; McKinley. who

campaign as director of the Na
tional Taft bureau, would take the
National chairmanship If Mr. Taft and
the committee desired.
Barnes Is Considered.
William B. Barnes, Jr., New York
state chairman, still was being consid
ered. Some of Barnes" friends declared
he could not take the National chair
manship because of the heavy work
connected with the campaign in his
own state, but others said the National
chairmanship would not be unwelcome
to him.
At the morning session the sub-committee
considered the so-called Okla
homa contest between George C. Priest
ley and James A. Harris for National
committeeman.
On behalf of Harris, Judge C. W.
Raymond, of Oklahoma, presented an
argument and briefs, contending the
selection of Priestley was irregular be
cause the Roosevelt delegates In the
Oklahoma delegation to the Chicago
convention did not remain through the
sessions of the convention.
- Judge Raymond also contended that
as Priestley's name appeared on the
call for a new party issued yesterday,
his seat would be vacated under the
rule adopted at Chicago which provided
that any member of the National com
mittee who did not support tne nomi
nee of the convention should be re
moved. Priestley was not present nor
-epresented.
GREAT DAMAGE IS LIKELY
toss of 200 Men on Jetty Work Pre
sents Serious Situation.
FORT STEVENS, Or.. July $. (Spe
cial.) Over 200 employes of the United
statM TTnHtiAprlnf Department, at
work on the Jetty at Fort Stevens, have
been Indefinitely laid on.
The rock barges are tied up, the
machine shops closed, all outside work
Is at a standstill, and where once was a
scene of bustling activity Is now quiet
enough to suggest the inspiration of a
poem like Grey's Elegy. Not enough
men reported for work today to keep
the numerous engines and machine
shop machinery free from rust.
Large numbers are accepting posi
tions elsewhere. Nearly all the Jetty
carpenters have obtained employment
at Seaside. A projected street-railway
system Is expected to provide temporary
work for the greater number of unem
ployed. In the event of a great storm
$1,000,000 worth of damage may be
done, with no means of checking It
The present situation presents most
serious aspects unless immediate relief
Is forthcoming.

Short Line Is Denied.
When the State of Oregon filed a
suit against the Oregon Short Line 4n
the Marlon County Circuit Court, to re
cover a penalty for It not complying
with the law as to making detailed re
ports, the defendant filed a transcript
of the pleadings In the United States
District Court with' a petition tor re
moval to Federal Jurisdiction, the prin
cipal reason being that the Oregon
Short Line was a foreign corporation.
The state filed a motion asking that
this petition be diVnissed and that the
case be returned to the state court.
The motion was argued at length a
few w;eks ago before Judge Bean and
taken under advisement until yester
day, when he sustained the motion
and denied the petition of removal.
In doing so he said that in the first
place, the State of Oregon was not
a citizen, second no right, privilege or
immunity is claimed by a state under
the constitution of the United States
and for a third and last reason, the
action is to recove a penalty and not
a suit of a civil nature.

DON HERR
AGAIN HERE IS INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE of Studebaker
superiority. Do you get the full significance? Consider these men
are not only master race drivers, but they are 'the most expert judges
of motorcars. - : "
THEY HAVE STUDIED EVERY MAKE OF CAR, from rear axle
to radiator. They know the weak and the strong parts of every car
that is worth knowing about. They have spent years in factories
studying automobile construction and testing every new device and
method known to motordom. It is a part of the daily business of
these men to know what is good and what is bad in a motor car.
Their word is the final decision. Their judgment on motor cars can
not be questioned. . ".l :
JUST THINK THESE DRIVERS HAD THE PICK OF ALL
MOTORDOM-Every maker in the world would have jumped at tne
chance to sell his cars to these drivers. It would "have been praise,
indeed, for the quality of their product, but the Studebaker cars were
the unanimous verdict. : '
THESE CHAMPION DRIVERS CHOSE TO BUY STUDEBAKER
CARS for their personal use because they knew they were getting
the best their money could buy: They had seen many higher-priced'
cars go down to defeat at the hands of Studebaker E. M. F. "30" and
Studebaker-Flanders ."20" cars in race and biU-climb events.
THE ORDINARY AUTOMOBILE DOES NOT appeal to champion
drivers WHY SHOULD THEY APPEAL TO YOU? If there is
any one thing race drivers are critical about, it is the sort of car they
choose for their personal use. SO SHOULD YOU. They know the
best and they will not be satisfied with anything else. That is why
champion drivers choose Studebaker cars. They know the quality of
Studebaker cars. They know they are built of the very best material
money can buy and made by the most skilled workmen in the automo
bile industry. They know Studebaker cars are factory-made and not
assembled and that they carry with them the best guarantee given with
any car. I
JUST A WORD ABOUT SERVICE Harry Endicott said, "I
bought a Studebaker car because the Studebakers, have the best Serv
ice in the automobile business!" Xhe Studebaker "Kind-of -Service"
is known as the best that is offered to users of motor cars. No mat
ter where you are you can never get out of reach of a Studebaker
Service station. And right here in Portland is a direct factory branch,
housing a $50,000 parts department, Experts, Specialists, etc., all the
necessities for good service!
SO WHEN YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF A
CAR WHY NOT GET THE CAR THAT CHAMPIONS BUY?
YOUR WORRIES ARE THEN OVER YOU HAVE THE BEST
AND THERE'S NOTHING TO DO BUT ENJOY IT.

Association opened its 50th annual con
vention today.
Reports had been submitted that of
the 20.000,000 public school pupils in
the United States, U2.000.000 were be
ing educated In rural schools and that
only one-third of the country boys
and girls were making a satisfactory
showing.
Thomas H. Harris, State Superin
tendent of Schools of Louisiana, said
the condition of the rural schools was
so deplorable It was time for the Fed
eral Government to provide both
money and methods to remedy the sit
uation. "The fear of Federal interference
with state control of schools should be
set aside in the Interest of the rising
generation." said Mr. Harris. ."National
supervision of country schools Is an
absolute necessity. Our country needs
a better educated rural citizenship.
A committee appointed to investigate
the subject has decided to urge the ap-
polntment of fleld workers to travel
over the country In the Interest of rural
schools.
No 'flnal action was taken on any
business. "
