STORM SWEEPS AT MEETING
All Attempts to Keep Order Fail,
Tumult Beins: So Great That
Conference Adjourns Without
Action Speech Cheered.
NEW TORK, Aug. 5. The indorse
ment of Harvey D. Hinman. a Repub
lican, by Theodore Roosevelt for the
Progressive party nomination for Gov
ernor of New Tork. raised a storm at
a meeting of COO Progressives from all
parts of the state here today.
Colonel Roosevelt spoke in support
of Mr. Hinman and, while his remarks
were cheered, some of the speakers
asserted he had erred. At times the
disorders became so great that T.
Douglas Robinson, chairman of the
state committee, who was presiding,
gave up all attempts to keep order.
The tumult kept up for several hours,
but the meeting got nowhere, adjourn
ing with the issue Unsettled.
Amoa Pinchot Take Part.
Amos Pinchot, of New Tork, offered
a resolution providing for the election
of a committee of five to frame and
present publicly to Mr. Hinman and
other candidates for nominations a list
of questions regarding their positions
on policies to which the Progressive
party is committed.
Amid great confusion Henry Burger
moved a substitute resolution, assert
ing it was essential to the party that
a straight Progressive ticket be nomi
nated this Fall. The debate went on
uproarously until Colonel Roosevelt
came In and began his speech.
The ex-President made clear his po
sition toward the Pinchot resolution
with almost his first words.
'I want to smile at the enemy," he
said, "and not save our souls by pass
ing nice little resolutions.
Hlghot Duty Told.
"This is not a party organized pri
marily for men to get office," he con
tinued. "Occasions arise such as the
one last year in the City of New York,
where our highest duty is to Join on a
union platform with men who may dif
fer with us on many points, but who
on the great issues stand for what we
deem wisest and best from the stand
point of the public good."
Disorder broke out anew after Mr.
Roosevelt finished his speech and de
parted. Excited Progressives shouted
that to indorse Mr. Hinman would be
"an indecent alliance."
An attempt to adjourn led to cries
of "steam roller" and "sag rule."
It finally was desided to lay over
the whole question for the time being.
Mr. Pinchofs proposal to question Mr.
Hinman will bo taken up by a com
mittee which is to report at a later
meeting of the state committee.
ANTI-'PILL' YELLS WANTED,
Superintendent Churchill Asks Bov9
for Best Slogans.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 5. (Special.) To
discourage the smoking of cigarettes
by the boys of the common schools.
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Churchill announced that his depart
ment would give three prizes for the
best anti-cigarette yells for use by the
representatives of industrial clubs at
the State Fair.
Mr. Churchill has sent copies of the
following letter to the 600 industrial
clubs of the state:
"It was suggested that we make it
a requirement that the winners of the
capital prizes at the Statv Fair this
year should be non-cigarette smok
ers. We decided this was not neces
sary as achievement boys are not
cigarette fiends, and we are expecting
to have two boys in the school camp
at the State Fair from each county who
do not smoke cigarettes and who will
use their influence to make the habit
unpopular. We are offering three
prizes for the best slogans received by
September 15. 13 for first, SJt for sec
ond, and $1 for third prize."

WASHINGTON HAS PUZZLE
State Election Booklet Delayed by
Seven Sisters" Question.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. Aug. 5. (Spe
cial.) Uncertain how long the courts
will be occupied In reviewing the count
of the "Seven Sister" Initiative bills.
Secretary of State Howell today dis
charged nil but a few of his force of
60 people who had been addressing
wrappers and preparing to mall out
the booklet containing Intlative and
referendum bills and arguments to the
people of the state.
It now appears likely that delay in
the courts will make the mandate of
the law Ineffective and possibly raise
a question regarding the legality of the
election itself.

son, also broke down recently and is
very ill at present, though not gravely.
She, too, is suffering from nervous
ness and the inner White House for
weeks has held a story of heartfelt
grief for the President of the United
States and his daughters.
Daughters Are Called.
Mrs. W. G. McAdoo, youngest daugh
ter of the President, has been in the
city constantly and has been at the
White House daily. Mrs. Francis
Bowes Sayre, second daughter, and hus
band, arrived today from Cornish, N.
H., and Miss Margaret Wilson, the eld
est daughter, returned a few days ago.
Dr. Cary T. Grayson, the President's
physician and naval aide, has been in
almost constant attendance upon Mrs.
Wilson and has been in frequent con
sultation with Dr. R. M. Kennedy, U.

COURT IS ON AT TOLEDO
Change of Venue Asked by Corvallis

TOLEDO. Or., Aug. 5. (Special.)
The August term of court opened yes
terday with Judge Harris presiding.
The Graham case against the Corvallis

ened by months of never-ending Ill
ness, has been unable to withstand
the battle.
One day last March Mrs. Wilson
slipped on a rug at the White House,
injuring her spine. An operation was
necessary. After weeks or convales
cence she finally rose from her bed.
but the burden of a Winter's activ
ity at the White House, together with
charity work in the slums of the city,
brought on nervous prostration. She
was well enough to attend the wed
ding of her second daughter, now Mrs.
William G. McAdoo, but her recuper
ative powers were not lasting.
Rally Is Brief.
Stomach trouble added to her nerv
ous ailment and Bright's disease de
veloped. Three weeks ago she seemed
to rally and was well enough to walk,
supported by a nurse, in the White
House grounds. She watched with sat
isfaction as gardeners laid out the last
of the Italian gardens which she had
planned for the south front of the
executive mansion.
With her apparent recovery, the
President urged that his wife go to a
cooler climate. The heat of Washing
ton was particularly oppressive, but
she steadfastly declined to leave her
husband. She took an active interest
in the contest over the confirmation of
Thomas D. Jones as a member of the
Federal Reserve Board, and called for
many a document on Congressional af
fairs. The relapse came last week, and
since then she has been sinking rapidly.
Only members of the family were ad
mitted to the sick room. She had lost
in weight until her thin form seemed
but a shadow of her former self.
Pulse Stops for Time.
Day and night the family has
watched anxiously over her for the past
few days. Yesterday her pulse stopped
beating for a few moments. Oxygen
and other restoratives were applied.
Early today she seemed somewhat bet
ter, but late today grew worse.
The President, always most sensi
tive about exaggerated reports about
members of his family, authorized no
official announcement about Mrs. Wll
son's health. He had hoped that she
might yet recover. Today, however,
there was a change. White House of
ficials acknowledged the gravity of the
patient's condition and revealed that
while they were hoping against hope,
the end was dangerously near.
The strain of her duties as mistress
of the White House and her own un
tiring efforts to help many an un
known and friendless person who has
appealed to her are said to be directly
responsible for her breakdown. Mrs.
Wilson received many delegations
which her husband was too busy to
see. Her mall is voluminous and she
has insisted on attending in person to
many appeals for help that came to
her. She has been particularly active
since coming to Washington in better
ing conditions in the slums and se
curing an improvement in alley con
ditions.
Husband's Interests Hen.
Throughout the Administration of her
husband she has taken the same keen
Interest in his work as she did in pre
vious years, when he was Governor of
New Jersey and president of Princeton.
She lends her counsel and advice on
many a weighty subject of state.

President's cousin, who has been living
in the Wilson household for the last
two years and has been devoting her

MILITIA BILL PRESENTED
Chamberlain Introduces It, Admits
Measure Can't Pass Now.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 5. Senator Chamberlain
today introduced the mllltla reorgani
zation and pay bill as agreed upon by
the War Department and officers of the
state militia more than a year ago.
Senator Chamberlain admits there is no
prospect of passing the bill at this
time and says it will not be made an
Administration measure, but is merely
presented to give opportunity for its
consideration by militia officers.
Pending its consideration by the Sen
ate in the next session the bill has been
held up at tho White House for a year
because it proposes an annual appro
priation of more than $16,000,000, $10,
000,000 of which is intended for the pay
of enlisted men and officers.
President Wilson did not want the
bill passed this session because It would
add to the aggregate of appropriations
and it is only introduced now for po
litical effect, as it is recognized the
bill cannot be passed nor even con
sidered before election.
PORT OFFICERS WARNED

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5. Carrying out

tion, the following instructions were

will be permitted to clear from your
port until they have filed their full
manifests, and also that all outgoing
foreign vessels will be subject to the
inspection of their papers and cargoes
by United States authorities within the
territorial waters of the United States."
Every possible means will be taken
to prevent shipments of articles con
traband of war from the United States.
The Administration has not determined
specifically what articles outside muni
tions of war shall be regarded as con
traband by this Nation.
