MEDFORD. Or., Aug. 17. Charles E.
Hughes, on his way to San Francisco
from Portland, was called on today by
Chester H. Rowell, of Fresno, Cal., a
member of the Republican National
campaign committee, to adjust as far
as possible during his stay in San Fran
cisco a factional fight in California
between Progressive and Republican
leaders.
Mr. Rowell told the nominee that
Governor Johnson, of California, Pro
gressive leader and Hughes supporter,
had not been invited to attend the
meeting tomorrow night in San Fran
cisco at which Mr. Hughes will speak
and that members of the arrangement
committee had told. Mr.. JRowelL that
Governor Johnson's presence at the
meeting was 'highly undesirable."
Governor to Avoid Meeting.
Governor Johnson, Mr. Rowell told
the nominee, had so arranged his Itin
erary that he would not be in San
Francisco tomorrow night. .
During his stay in San Francisco over
Saturday Mr. Hughes will confer with
Republican and Progressive leaders in
the interest of party harmony.
The meeting arranged for Los An
geles next Monday night. Mr. Rowell
told the nominee, similarly had been
left entirely in the hands of regular
Republicans, and the Progressive ele
ment there was "resentful" because of
this arrangement.
Mr. Hughes probably will confer with
Progressive and Republican leaders in
Los Angeles.
i
Crowds Line Tour South.
Mr. Hughes talked of the tariff and
the National honor today to crowds
which assembled at stations along the
way south from the rear platform of
his car. The nominee made four ad
dresses at Riddle. Roseburg. Grants
Pass and here. In each he also summa
rized his stand on preparedness, pro
tection of American rights and indus
trial co-operation.
At Riddle Mr. Hughes declared that
"a depreciation in American repute"
due to "a policy of vacillation," had
brought the country nearer to war than
it would have been had "a. firm and
consistent policy" been maintained.
Old Spirit Still Dominant.
"Those who think we are decadent
and weak and haven't got the old in
domitable spirit are very much mis
taken," he said. "They do not repre
sent the country."
In his address at Grants Pass Mr.
Hughes defined "dominant American
ism" as follows:
"We must have a good drive ahead
and there is no reason why in this
country, with its ability and natural
resources, we should not have perma
nent prosperity. To do that we must
look after our own. That is what I
mean by dominant Americanism able
to take care of American interests.
"In addition to that, we want also
and you cannot have much of a nation
without it an intense regard foi our
National honor and a disposition to
maintain it., B
Honor Pat Above Peace.
"I am solicitous to preserve peace
and good will. We want the friendship
lof all the nations of the world. They
are very friendly disposed to us. But
if we are to keep out of trouble we
must respect ourselves end others must
respect us. There is no safe guarantee
of peace when others begin to see how
much they can trifle with you and you
decide you won't stand it. They have
got to know you mean what you say.
and in the things which vitally con
ccrn you that you are prepared to
maintain them.
"That is good Americanism. It will
give us peace with honor. That is
what America wants."
Loyalty to King Essential.
In his address at Roseburg Mr.
Hughes said:
"You must have loyalty to the flag
and unswerving loyalty to the prin
ciples of your institutions. You must

WASHINGTON. Aug. 17. Plans for
a more vigorous campaign o prevent
spread of infantile paralysis were made
here today at a conference or neann
authorities of most of the states with
officials of the Federal Public Health
Service.
Resolutions will be adopted tomor
row by. the conference, in which emi
nent plague experts, scientists ana
bacteriologists are participating, out-
lining definite proposals for checking
dissemination- of the disease. While
.few cf those present today expressed
alarm that the epidemic might assume
country-wide porportions. they uni
formly declared measures were neces
sary to guard against a widespread
outbreak.
Canae of Plague Unknown.
Admission was" freely made by many
experts that the cause or the piaguo
is unknown and the means of its trans
mission not conclusively determined.
Physicians who have been fighting It
in New YorK. Pennsylvania, New Jer
sey and Connecticut gave the latest
scientific observations of this aspect.
Attention , was centered chiefly on
preventing the spread of the epidemic
through .interstate travel. Uniformity
of regulations or travel on raiiroaa
trains, steamships and other carriers
was ursed by Secretary McAdoo, of
the Treasury Department, and the con
ference probably will recommend a
system "of uniform inspection, issuance
of health certificates and co-operation
between Federal ind state health and
railroad authorities toward regulating
travel.
Control to Be Studied.
A special committee. to propose meth
ods for the control of the epidemic, in

ing in spelling, reading or arithmetic.

pupils half an hour daily. During that
time the girls have advanced as far in
their studies as it usually required by
two months or two months and a half
of work.
"The secret of Mrs. Fulkerson's suc
cess." said Superintendent Calavan. "is
that she knows Just how much to em
phasize each part of the work. She
understands each child arid drills it just
enough in each step. Efficiency is the
keynote of her work."

8-HOUR DAY MADE BASIS
President, However, Would Allow

Commission to ne Created

WASHINGTON. Aug. 17. President
Wilson today laid his plans for avoid
ing the threatened railway strike be
fore the employes" committee of 640
and, having found the managers' com
mittee adamant to his proposal that
they accept the eight-hour dfy. he ap
pealed to the railroad presidents and
asked them to come to the White
House for a. conference.
There is every Indication that if the
railroad presidents sustain their man
agers. President Wilson will appeal
finally to the financial powers which
control the roads, for. it is his pur
pose to deal with the ultimate author
ity before he gives up his efforts.
President's Plsn In Ontllned.
The President's plan, which is ex
pected to be formally accepted by the
employes' committee at a meeting at
9 o'clock tomorrow morning, proposes
An eight-hour day as the basis for
computing wages.
Regular pay at the eight-hour-day
rate for overtime.
To refer all collateral issues to
small commission to be created by Con
gress on which the employes, the rail
roads and the public would be repre
sented. Acceptance of the proposal by . the
employes Was forecast by expressions
of their . leaders after they left the
President's conference. One of them
declared:
"The men would be fools not to ac
cept it."
Railroads Willing to Arbitrate.
The attitude of the railroad presi
dents is not so clear. They began ar
riving tonight; all are expected to be
here tomorrow. No one can say what
will be the effect of an appeal such as
a President of the United States, speak
ing in the name of the welfare of a
nation, can make. But from such in
formation as can be gathered it ap
pears that the railroad presidents. If
the managers' committee understands
them, are unalterably opposed to con
ceding the eight-hour day or anything
else out of hand, but are quite ready to
arbitrate anything and everything in
almost any form of arbitration upon

Such Is Day's Record in Office of
County Clerk Others of Late
Are, About as Bad.
' The divorce court knocked Cupid to
the ropes in Multnomah County this
week. Will he take the count?
Not a single marriage license was
issued yesterday, but four divorce
were filed. And this is not a .lone in
stance. Take Tuesday. There were
three marriage licenses issued that
day. but there were 10 divorce cases
filed.
Yesterday was the first day in a year
that the County Clerk's office has been
open in which not a marriage license
was taken out. It is the second time
since County Clerk Coffey took office
in January, 1913. that this has oc
curred. The reason for it yesterday
was not obvious. It was not Friday,
the 13th. flor near that date. It was
Thursday, the 17th. There were no
snowbanks outside the Courthouse to
be negotiated by daring couples, nor
silver thaw to be faced. There were
a few showers of rain, but they were
light and far from intimidating.
The increase in the divorce market
has been great lately. There were nine
civil cases filed in the Circuit Coort
yesterday, of which four were for di
vorces. Of -the 16 cases filed Tuesday,
10 were divorces. And about half the
divorces are asked by persons who
were married In Vancouver.

MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich.. Aug. 17.
(Special.) Roy Pettit, 39 years old. a
hotel clerk here, was shot and killed
today in a downtown street by his
wife, who before her marriage was
Miss Elrmel Hess and who was born
In Portland. Or. She has a brother.
Clarence Hess, a farmer, now living
near Portland. Her mother is, dead,
and it is not known where her father-
is.
Mrs. Pettit was crazed by jealousy.
She and her husband had quarreled
frequently over the husband's aleged
attentions to other women. Today's
tragic quarrel started when Mrs.
Pettit. who had folowed her husband
from the hotel, entered a drugstore
and found him engaged in conversa
tion with Mrs. McMurray. of Marlon.
Ind., a patron of the hotel in which
Pettit is a clerk.
Husband Is I.'d Away.
"This man is my husband." Mrs.
Pettit told Mrs. McMurray. as she
seized Pettit and led him away.
"Is that the woman?" she was heard
to ask him. as they moved toward the
street.
Pettit made no reply.
Mr. and Mrs. Pettit were seen walk
ing up and down the street for some
time afterward. .Mrs. Pettit was evi
dently much excited. Pettit seemed to
be trying to quiet her. Mlch&el Sul
livan, a veteran of the present war
In Europe, who has seen war in the
trenches in France and has been in
valided out of the service, was stand
ing near when Mrs. Pettit. without a
word of warning, fumbled in her hand

five times and every bullet took effect
In tho head or chest of Pettit. who
was dead when help reached him.
Bystander Is Too Late.
Sullivan started toward the couple
as soon as tne iirmg Degan. Jie
reached Mrs. Pettit while she still had
one "bullet in her weapon, but too late
to save her husband. He disarmed her.
despite a violent struggle, and tooK
her to police headquarters, where she
collapsed after an hour of hysteria.
"My husband," she said, "kept com
pany too much with other women, so
I killfl him."
That was all she would say.
It wts laid tonight that Mrs. Pettit
had recovered somewhat and that she
had indicated that she would plead
temporary insanity if placed on trial.
Prosecutor Kent raid that information
Charging her with murder in the first
degree would be filed at once and that
th case would be pressed to trial.
Pettit Was Law Graduate.
Pettit was popular here. He was a
graduate of the law department of the
University of Michigan, class of 1900,
but had been in the West recently and
came here, presumably from that part
of tho country, with Mrs. Pettit about
two months ago. He was born in
Ithaca, Mich.
It was said that he had met with
financial reverses, as a result of whicn
he was working as a hotel clerk tem
porarily, intending later to resume the
practice of la -v. Mrs. Pettit had no
relatives here.
MARITAL TROUBLES KNOWN

out Oregon, having been employed in
hotel work in several cities and having
traveled extensively, especially in the

the more intimate of his friends, one
of whom stated yesterday that Mr. and
Mrs. Pettit separated in the Spring of

cl-erk at TheDalles. Later they became
reconciled and are believed to have
been so when they left this city the
