THE MORNING OREGO.MAX, SATURDAY. AUGUST 12, 1916. 5 filISS BAER RECORDS CHAT WITH HUGHES Absence of Icicly Personality Shocks Writer Wife Declared Adorable. BILLINGS SPEECH "GREAT" Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, as saying: 'There isn t groins to be any arbitra tion of our demands, and you can't make that too strong. I am for set tling this affair peaceably if we can. ut mere isn t going to be any arDltra- on. "We do not intend." said W. S. Stone. chief of the Brotherhood of Railroad Engineers, "to wait very long on the mediators. The temper of the men is uch that they would not have waited minute if we had not persuaded them to give the mediators the. chance. Pep sonally, I do not care to carry the strike vote around in my pocket for ny extended period. It is like a. stick of dynamite." Since Its organization. In 1913, through an act of Congress, and up to September 20. 1915, the Board has sat on 47 controversies between railroads and their employes. In every instance the Board has succeeded in securing an adjustment of the differences, 39 cases having been settled by mediation alone and eight by arbitration. Charlie Chaplins and Carnegles Dig Up $ 1 1 5 0 to Hear Nominee, ' Whose 'Delivery' Termed Very . Much 'Billy-Suiidayesque. TOUR ACROSS COXTTNEXT BACK HAT BE MADE. ' ' BY LEONE CASS BAER. : BILLINGS, Mont., Aug. 11. (Spe cial.) Where, oh where did they ever eet that chilly personality stuff? What Ananias of the press started the icicle eye and frigid smile story, anyway? Sitting In state on the best chair -at the best desk of the Billings Gazette, fresh from the presence of Charles Evans 'Hughes, nominee for President, with my fingers still tingling from his warm handclasp and the memory still !with me of his laughing blue eyes and cheery chat, I feel as if someone, some Where, should be made to eat all the paragraphs, cartoons and printed what nots the icicle stuff has brought forth. He talked in most friendly fashion and he gave the representative from The Oeegonian preference over a lot of native sons and daughters who were stepping amiably all over his feet In a wild effort to "shake the hand of the next President." 91150 Raised to Bring: Nominee. It was an unexpected party this Hughes meeting and wild demonstra tion tonight. The train bearing the party was not due originally until mid Tight and not even enthusiasts such as Billings boasts would have got up in the middle of the night to hear epeech even if a resourceful candi date would have made it. So the local Carnegles and Charlie Chaplins and Itockefellers pooled their wealth and raised $1150. They sent this ?1150 over to Fargo. N. D.. where Mr. Hughes had already spoken and where he and his party (social, not political) were jailing six hours of good time. So they spent the six hours and the $1150 in coming to Billings earlier. Once ar rived, Mr. Hughes walked right into the middle of the worst Chautauqua quartet I ever heard and the whole city went mad with Joy. The entire population of Billings was all there, crammed into these little (olding-up seats covered and be-ban-nered with Old Glories and surcharged with patriotism and other things. It was all free and the Chautauqua went Into the discard for the nonce. When Mr. Hughes, led by his tour manager, Charles Farnum (no relation to Dustin or Bill, for I asked him), walked down the aisle the whole crowd got to its feet and the demonstration lasted so Jong I had time to write all the fore going. Billy Sunday Style Favored. I can't tell you a blessed thing he talked about, but It was interesting. He has a Billy-Sundayesque way of smiting you between the eyes with the forcefulness of his remarks and you get all keyed Up and full of thrills like you were riding In a buckboard against the wind on a prairie. He paces up and down, up and down, and his gestures are big and free, with a twins of his entire arms. He stops sometimes, oh, often, often, to laugh out loud. He throws his head back, opens his mouth wide and laughs. Sometimes It's Just a chuckle, but It ehakes him all over when it's In opera, tion. He has the beginnings of a bay- window tummy, and I liked him be cause his watch chain wasn't draped clear across it- His suit was gray, his hair is grayish and his famous whisk ers are gray, too. His eyes are blue, that vivid gray-blue that strikes nice chain lightning, and they shut up tight and crinkle at the corners when he is submerged in humor at some hole in the Democratic platform. Famous Whiskers Maligned. He has personality and a general way heavens, yes! I get madder every tune 1 think of that icicle stuff. Even the chin whiskers have been maligned. That he wears 'em is proof that Mrs. iHughes must think they're ornamental. She has certainly seen him without 'em and chose the lesser of the two evils. He told me in the little chat we had that he has a warm spot in his affec tions for Oregon, that he has a great many personal friends in the state and that he is looking forward to his visit there. He insisted on talking about the scenery and the beauties of the trip, but you can get all that out of . timetable, so I won't put it in here. Besides, he'll say it again in Portland. But he did say that though" he has often been on the Coast he is seeing it in a new capacity this time, and is par ticularly happy, for the trip is all a new one to Mrs. Hughes. I reminded ihim that Oregon is a suffrage state. I know it, he flashed, and as a mat ter of political expediency it would be well for the Nation to be following in fts footsteps. Mrs. Hughes Ideal Nominee's Wife. Mr. Hughes talks easily. Hie voice is ceep-throated and carries Pleasantly. Mrs. Hughes is my ideal of what a Presidential nominee's wife should be tactful, gentle, gracious, with an ap parently intense and all-absorbing in terest in all the Willies and Johnnies and Arthurs who are introduced to he by fond and perspiring mothers. She told me that neither she nor Mr. Hughe iiad. any oaDies named for them yet- you know what a flock always spring up In the waKe ol a presidential possi unity. Mrs. Hughes wore a simple traveling - euit of brown, her hat matched it in simplicity, and she. too. was simplicity personified. I adore her everlastin poise. Think how deadly it is to listen to a man tell the same stories over an over and over at various dinners and how one has to smile and smile. Then think of Mrs. Hughes listening to her husband s speeches. Think how man times, she must have heard about the tariff and the war tax and why is suf frage. STRIKE DECISION AWAITED (Continued From First Page.) clared that they would not consider ar bitration under the Newlands act as it now stands. The roads have rejected the men's demands and have stood out firmly for arbitration. The .men have served notice that rather than arbitrate they will strike.

However, Believe President Should Stay at Home and Receive Delegations. WASHINGTON. Aug. 11. President Wilson Is seriously considering a transcontinental campaign trip. Con gressional callers at the White House today gained the impression that he virtually had decided on such a step. but officials said -later that his plans for the campaign still were uncertain and depended largely on Congress. Invitations for the President to speaK all parts of the country, including California, are being placed on file in case Mr. Wilson decides to maKe one or more long campaign trips. Some of his advisers are urging him strongly to cross the continent, but others believe he should spend most of the time dur- the campaign at his Summer home at Shadow Lawn, N. J., receiving dele gations and at the same time keeping close touch with the Government de partments in Washington. Democratic leaders insisted today that the campaign trip of Charles E. Hughes, the Republican nominee, would have no effect on the President's plans. They said that at any rate Mr. Wilson would make no extended trips from Washington until after Congress ad- ourned. The President today completed his speech accepting the Democratic nomi nation. It will be shorter than that delivered by Mr. Hughes and in ad dition to replying to the criticisms of the Republican nominee will review in detail the legislative achievements of the Administration. PASTOR TO LEAVE CITY REV. L. K. RICHARDSON WILL. DE LIVER FAREWELL SERMOX SOON. Itenilfvort h Presbyterian Church Ac cepts Resignation Minister to Go to Philadelphia. The congregation of the Kenilworth Presbyterian Church has acceded to the request of their pastor. Rev. L. K. Richardson, that his resignation be ac cepted, to enable him to enter a larger field, that of the Hebron Memorial Church at Philadelphia. As a result Rev. Mr. Richardson will preach his farewell sermon in Portland September 24. With his family he will leave early in October for Philadelphia. The Hebron Memorial Church has memberslp of more than 330 and $30,000 church plant. It gives promise. according to Rev. Mr. Richardson, of developing into a large city church. Many testimonials of regret have been received by Rev. and Mrs. Richardson. The Kenilworth church has shown a good growth under Rev. Mr. Richard son's leadership. Rev. W. H. Amos, pastor of Millard-avenue Church, pre sided at the recent meeting of the Kenilworth congregation when Mr. Richardson's resignation was consid ered. A committee was appointed to get a new pastor. Mr. Richardson has been pastor at Kenilworth for four years and during that time J1000 In old indebtedness has been wiped out and the membership trebled. The Sunday school has also grown to be an active organization during his pastorate. Word received yesterday from the New York office of the Orpheum cir cult by Carl Reiter, who Is Martin Beck's representative in Portland, is taken to indicate that it Is the inten tion of the vaudeville magnates to re open the Orpheum here next month. Mr. Reiter is in receipt of the first press letter of the season sent by Nellie Revell, director of publicity of the Or pheum circuit. "I regard that letter as proof," said Mr! Reiter, "that the Portland Orpheum will' resume presentation of shows next month, when the vaudeville season will be open again full blast." The list of headllners announced as having been booked to appear here early in the season Includes Theodore Kosloff with Vlasta Maslova and Im perial Russian ballet, Homer Miles and company, Lydia Barry, Wilfred Clarke and company, Harry Carroll and Anna Wheaton, Clark and Hamilton, Ruth St. Denis, Fay Templeton. Elizabeth Brlce and Charles King. Bert Levy, Miss Una Clayton and Elsa Ryan. Mr. Beck Manages Act. Martin Beck, managing director of the Orpheum Circuit, is extending his activities as a manager for vaudeville acts. Of late he has had several sketches under his personal manage ment, but last week he assumed the management of a new dancing act which is being produced by Ivan Bankoff, the Russian dancer of the Bankoff and Girlie duo, well known in Orpheum houses. Bankoff and Girlie will head the new dancing act and will be supported by Madeline Harrison and corps de ballet, the company consisting of 14 persons. This act also is under contract for appearance at the Port land Orpheum. 'Under most promising auspices is the vaudeville season of 1916-17 ushered ' writes Mr. Beck, "there being every indication that the new period of the atrical activity will be an epoch- making one. An exceptionally fine list of attractions has been secured and Orpheum patrons are assured of the maintenance of the same high class of vaudeville entertainment which has marked the offerings of this theater in the past. Bookings Are Impressive. "The booking sheets of the circuit nevtr before in Its history have con tained such an impressive congress of sta rs as today. From the operatic, concert, musical comedy and dramatic stages have been recruited artists to entertain tne pa trons of the Orpheum this season while from the vaudeville world itself have been selected the choicest of the standarl acts. Variety managers early learned that one headliner does not make a satisfactory bill, hence the in auguration of the Orpheum policy to compose its programmes of all head "The European war Is having an influence for the best in vaudeville for the reason that it has not only kept in this country and made vaudeville for the two-a-day the operatic stars who would ordinarily return to their native lands at the expiration of their grand opera engagements, but it has also dis couraged the migration of American entertainers. As aj-esult of this cessa tion of ocean travel. Orpheum vaude ville has benefited materially.'" AWARD EXPECTED SOON ALL BIDS ON PORTLAND POSTOF- KICE EXAMINED. 3 BIG CROWDS EXPECTED COLUMBIA BEACH EQUIPPED TO HANDLE RECORD THRONGS. Additions! Dressing Facilities, More At. tendants and Plenty of Bull Run Water Provided. wmie ail the bathing and amuse ment facilities at Columbia Beach were taxed far beyond their capacity at the opening last Sunday, the management expects to be able to handle fully as large a crowd tomorrow without any of the annoyances and disappointments occasioned by the heavy rush of week ago. Additional dressing-room facilities and a big extra supply of bathing suits have been provided. The staff of at tendants also has been increased. Prac tically all the evidences of the high water which nearly submerged the island during the past two months have been removed. Although there are three wells, each more than 200 feet deep, from which the drinking water on the beach is de rived, the management has decided to keep an adequate supply of Bull Run water at convenient stations in the park, so that there can be no question whatever as to the purity of the water supply. GOVERNOR LONG DELAYED Parly Is Believed to Be Stranded on Tideflat on Coos River. MARSHFIELD, Or., Aug. 11. (Spe cial.) The Governors party had no returned from Coos River late tonight on their way. from the Agate Carnival after a visit to the salmon hatchery and it was thought that they were stranded somewhere on a tideflat.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Aug. 11. The contract for the erection of the Portland postoffice building may be awarded some time next week. The supervising architect having scheduled and examined all the bids, expects to make his recommen dation to the Secretary of the Treasury Monday and an award usually follows closely on such recommendation. The lowest bid received was that of Grant Fee. of San Francisco 762,000 he having bid on Bedford. Md.. limestone. The lowest bid for sandstone proves to be that of Norman Kerr, of New York, who offered to erect the build ing for $777,878, using Herculc stone, or S789.807 using either Boise or Te- nino sandstone. Considering he fact that influential Democrats from Indiana are demanding that the award go to a bidder using Indiana stone, and considering the fur ther fact that no particular pressure has been brought to bear to Induce the department to use Oregon or other Northwest sandstone, it would cot be surprising if tha supervising architect recommended the award of this con tract to the San Francisco bidder. CORNERSTONE TO BE LAID Milwaukie School Ceremony to Take Place, Tonight.

Nearly BOO buyers participated in the annual Buyers' week banquet at the Chamber of Commerce last night, which was the culminating feature in the en tertainment of the week. The musical programme presented in the first part of the evening's enter tainment aroused tremendous enthu siasm and the musicians were called upon for encore after encore. Mo Elroy's orchestra gave the Instru mental and the vocal features were by the Ad Club quartet, assisted by Mrs. Jane Burns Albert and Miss Alice D. Juston. The closing number, "The Sex tette from Lucia." evoked such en thusiasm that they were called upon to repeat it. C. C. Chapman, the toastmaster, was Unknown Donor Sends 50 Cents to 'Conscience Fund.'
