Democratic Leaders Say Active
Work Will Be Conducted In More
States Than Ever Plans Laid
for Winning Women.
WASHINGTON. Aug:. 7. A decision
to launch the Democratic National
campaign soon after September 1, re
gardless of whether Congress still is
in session then, was reached at a con
ference today between President Wilson,
Vance C. McCormick, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, and
Homer S. Cummlngs, the committee's
vice-chairman. The two Democratic
leaders took luncheon with the Presi
dent and remained with him four hours,
going over minutely the campaign
Plans.
While no date was set for the nottfi
cation ceremonies. Chairman McCor
mlck said tonight that, if Congress re
mained in session after September 1,
notification might take place before
adjournment. Under such circum
stances the President will go to Shadow
Lawn, N. J., for the occasion, and re
turn immediately afterward to Wash
ington. Invitations to Spealc Considered.
Invitations sent to the President to
speak in various parts of the country
were considered at the conference to
day. Mr. Wilson will make no definite
engagements, however, until a date for
the adjournment of Congress is agreed
on. He already has promised to go to
Hodginsville, Ky., September 4. to
speak at Lincoln memorial exercises,
and has made a tentative engagement
to visit St. Louis September 19, 20 or
21 to address an organization of
underwriters. The Hodginsville speech,
however, will be of a non - political
character.
Chairman McCormick said he planned
to have the Democratic campaign in
full swing by September 15. Mr. Cum
mlngs. who is chairman of the speak
ers' bureau at Democratic National
headquarters, told the President of the
progress made in assigning speakers to
the various states.
No States to Be Conceded.
An active campaign will be carried
on by the Democrats in more states
this year than ever before, the two
leaders said after their talk with the
President. No states will be conceded
to the Republicans, they declared. The
Democratic organizations in Republican
strongholds are being strengthened,
with the idea of putting up a fight all
along the line.
Selection of the Democratic commit
tee has almost been completed, Mr.
McCormick announced, and its per
sonnel will be Increased within a few
days. The chairman remained here
until late tonight discussing the make
up of the committee with Democratic
leaders.
Plans for winning the women voters
will be pushed actively, according to
Mr. McCormick, in spits of the an
nouncement of Charles E. Hughes, the
Republican nominee, that' he favors a
Federal suffrage amendment. A
woman's bureau at the New Tork
headquarters will be organized in the
near future.
last week. Mrs. Rossi said she was
tired of standing the abuse of the man
who had been her husband. It de
veloped from an admission to Sheriff
Hurlburt that she also cares for an
other man.
In court yesterday she told of how
her "husband" had struck her and
beaten her 'with a stick.
"I heet her wi,th a leetle stick of
dried ras'ber' bush, lika dees an, dat."
explained Rossi. "Eef she no wanna do
cookin' I ask her splk lika ladee, an'
eef no feel lika maka money and help
me, to go In house, and shuta oop." He
denied striking her with his fist.
Many family "spats" were admitted
by both parties to the action, Rossi
saying: "While I gotta pretty hard tem
per, my wife, she worse, and maka da
troub'."
Rossi Good Provider.
Mrs. Rossi admitted that Rossi had
never denied her money, food nor cloth
ing, had dressed the baby TFU and had
provided a good home.
"I have no complaint to make, except
that he has a quick temper." she said.
She was nattily dressed. Rossi wore
a pached brown coat that had seen
better days, trousers of a hue and pat
tern long lost and cracked shoes.
Attorney J. M. Long, who was ap
pointed by Judge Jones to represent
Rossi, made a plea for liberty, which
was granted at once, and brought up
the question of the child, the most im
portant issue, though not directly be
fore the court.
But Mrs. Rossi refused to help the
status of the child, voluntarily.
"How about giving the girl a name?"
demanded Judge Jones.
"Well, I'm sure I don't care about
giving the baby that name," was -the

"My friends, we have made people

straight and clear path. The path of
international right is lika the path of

Impression Created That Bremen May

to Slipping Into Boston.
. PORTLAND, Me.. Aug. 7. Every
point along the Maine coast watched
sharply today and tonight for two sub
marines believed to be foreign vessels
and possibly the long-expected German
merchantman Bremen and a consort.
The strange vessels were reported four
miles off Cross- Island, near Machias
and close to Canadian waters, today
by a Coast Guard lookout, but no word
had reached here tonight to bear out
the emphatic declaration from that sta
tion that they were undersea craft and
were proceeding at top speed toward
the west.
The vigil along the coast extended as
far east as Halifax. N. S.. and St. John.
N. B., both of which ports reported that
British naval auxiliaries had no Infor
mation regarding the presence of the
submarines in these waters. During
the afternoon a thick fog moved in
from the sea and made extended ob
servations impossible. I
The Navy Department announced that
no American submersibles were off the
Maine coast.
Information from reliable sources
that no British submarines were cruis
ing in these waters created the impres
sion in the minds of many observers
that the Bremen was dodging about
close to the three-mile limit, preparing
to slip into Boston.
Another possibility considered was
that the Coast Guard crew might have
seen the Deutschland, driven out of her
course, or else sticking closely to shore.
Captains of Incoming craft reported
that they had not seen any submarine.

tonight. Directors of the New Tork
Railways Company and the Thlra-Ave-nuo
Railway Company, the two prin
cipal lines affected, voted, after being
deadlocked for 12 hours, to accept a
plan of settlement proposed by Mayor
Mitchel and Oscar S. Straus, chairman
of the Public Service Commission, after
representatives of the strikers had
agreed to it. It was then announced
that normal service would be resumed
tomorrow on the lines which ratified
the agreement.
One of the chief concessions In the
settlement gives to the men the right
to organize, which was the issue the
strike leaders said they were deter
mined should be fought to the end.
In substance the agreement provides,
it was learned:
First, that the company shall con
cede the men's right to organize; sec
ond, the company shall agree to meet
and deal with any men whom the em
ployes might select as a committee in
the event of differences arising; third.
th auestions of wares and hours ot
labor shall be placed in the hands of
committees representing ooth sid6s for
settlement if possible by August 20;
fourth, that if no agreement is reached
by August 20 the differences shall be
referred to an impartial board of three
citizens for arbitration.
Officials of the Second-Avenue Rail
way, the Richmond Light & Power Com
pany and the New York & Queens
County Company were invited by Mayor
Mitchel to meet with bim and Mr.
Straus tomorrow to consider measures
to end the strike on those lines. Al
though the agreement reached tonight
concedes the riffht of the employes to
organize, the union is not recognized, oy

Argument Klled With Secretary
State tn Benalf of Meaanre
Affecting Appropriation.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 7. (Special.) As
a check on legislative extravagance
through logrolling and trading, the
proposed constitutional amendment to
be voted upon at the November elec
tion, giving the Governor power to
veto single items in appropriation
bills, is declared unequaled by State
Senators Kellaher and Garland, in
their affirmative argument on file with
Secretary of State Olcott. The measure
was referred to the people by the last
Legislature.
"The single-item veto as a means for
eaonomy in . state government," reads
the argument, "should have been adopt
ed a long time ago. Both of the lead
ing candidates for Governor at the last
election declared in favor of it,, and
there is no argument to the contrary.
"As long as the Governor has the
veto power he should have the power to
veto each item in appropriation bills.
It is the practice of the Legislature to
rush through blanket appropriation
bills in the last days of the session
covering many items and totaling
sometimes hundreds of thousands of
dollars. Many of the features of these
bills are meritorious, in fact necessary
for the administration of the state
government, but included with these
items are often placed undesirable
items which could not, standing alone,
be passed."

ABERDEEN, Wash.. Aug. 7. (Spe

land, appointed Friday aa receiver of
the Slade Interests, today' figured In
one of the biggest logging deals. In
the history of the Harbor when a con
tract was entered Into with the Hump-
tulips Logging Company for the re
moval of the Umber from the Slade
lands. This property Is located on the
Humptullps River, SO miles west of
Aberdeen, and consists of 4800 acn
said to contain 525.000.000 feet.
The timber will be sold In the open
market, and the revenue is expected to
be sufficient to pay off the company's
obligations and leave a large margin
of assets for Mr. Slade.
The necessary machinery Is already
on the ground and ample buildings are
standing to house the army of men to
be put to work as soon as details have
been arranged by officials of the Hump
tulips Company. Operations should be
In full blast within a month.
It Is believed that the logging con
tract will shortly lead to the resump
tion of work at the Slade mill, one of
tha largest plants on the Harbor, which
has been idle many months.
Receiver McPherson will make his
home In Aberdeen for the -coming
months, making weekly trips to Port
