WILSON EMPHASIZES PLEA
President Talks "as One Citi
zen to Another."
REPLY BEING CONSIDERED
spokesman for Employers Say Posi
tion Is That Principle Greater
Than Immediate Issues
Is at Stake.
WASHINGTON, . Aug. 21. As one
American citizen to another,. President
Wilson today appealed to each of tbe
executives of the country's principal
railroads on gTounds of patriotism to
accept his plan for averting the threat
ened disaster of a Nation-wide strike.
He emphasized the necessity for keeping-
the railroads in service as a part of
the National defense and to make pos
sible preparation for meeting condi
tions that will exist after the European
war.
On leaving the "White House the rail
road presidents, augmented during the
day by arrivals from the West, held
conferences at which sentiment was
said to be against agreeing to the
President's proposal in its platform.
Counter' Proposal If oped For.
Hope was expressed, however, that
some satisfactory counter proposition
might be advanced, and it was decided
to turn over to a commitlee the task
of drafting a final reply to the Pres
ident. With more than 60 men, most
of them with their own ideas about
what ought to be done, the executives
found it difficult to "get down to
brats tacks," as one of them expressed
it. Another meeting will be held to
morrow, and every effort will be made
to reach a decision promptly.
The railroad heads still insist that
President Wilson is asking them to
sacrifice the principle of arbitration.
, Elisha Lee, chairman of the National
conference committee of railways, is.
".. sued a statement tonight in which he
said:
"That the railroads should grant, un
- der threat of a National strike, a
$50,000,000. wa ge preferment to a small
minority of their employes, without a
hearing before a public tribunal, is in
conceivable in a democracy like ours.
All questions at issue wages, hours,
costs, operating conditions are sub
merged by the greater issue: Shall ar
bitration be abandoned in the settle
ment of industrial disputes?"
Appeal Made to Public Opinion.
The statement suggests, ' however,
that the railroads stand ready to take
whatever action, the people and .the
country desire. It concludes:
"The weight of public opinion must
determine these issues. We cannot be
lieve that it Is the calm judgment of
tbe country that we should t-acrifice
the principle of arbitration in indus-j
trial atspuies unaer a inreat id tie up
the commerce of the country."
While "the officials were listening to
President Wilson and, later conferring
"at their hotel, the general committee of
640 representatives of the employes,
who already have accepted the Presi
dent's plan, held a perfunctory meet
ing and marked time awaiting the de
cision of the employers. They said
they would wait until President Wil
son dismissed them, but stood ready to
V vail a srike should the negotiations
fail. ' '
President Addresses Employers.
Although a few of the railroad ex
ecutives invited had not arrived to
" day it was decided that, those already
in Washington were representative,
and, therefore, the President called
them to the White House and earnest
ly urged that his plan of settlement
be ratified.
"I will not allow passion to come
into my thoughts in this solemn mat
ter," he said.- "We are both acting as
trustees of great interests. I am will
ing to allow this matter to go to the
great American Jury and let them as
sume the responsibility. The rail
roads' responsibility of failure will not
rest with me. I wish you to consider
the consequences as affecting the peo
ple of the cities and countrysides of a
failure to agree. The country cannot
live if the means of keeping alive its
vitality are interfered with. The lives
and fortunes of 100,000,000 men, wom
en and little ones -many of whom may
die depend upon what may be done
In this room. I appeal to you as one
American citizen to another to avert
this disaster.
Arbitration Impossible, WUm Says.
The President spoke in a more Inti
mate fashion than he has in any of
the previous conferences. He referred
to the disastrous effect which a strike
would have, "especially at this time
when every ounce of American energy
and initiative has to be mobolized to
meet the extraordinary situation which
"' will emerge out of the European war."
Reiterating that it was impossible
for him to bring about arbitration
under present conditions, the Presi
dent declared it was not necessary to
discuss practical methods of avoid
ing the strike. The war' had taught
the country It could no longer remain
isolated and that provinclally by the
reason of its position affects the world.

Austro-German Ultimatum Believed
in Preparation Situation Ke
garded Gravely .in Berlin.
AMSTERDAM, via London. Aug. 22.
The Roumanian situation again is tak
ing a leading- place in the war news.
Dispatches from Berlin and Bucharest,
via Berlin, describe the relations be
tween Roumania and the Germanic
allies as. extremely serious. Wolff bu
reau, dispatches hint that an Austro
German ultimatum is in preparation.
The Kreuse Zeitung declared nego
tiations that took place at Bucharest
at the week-end between " the Russian
military attaches and the Roumanian
Secretary of War must be considered
as proof that Roumania has Joined the
entente.
"It is supposed," says this newspaper,
"that plans for . a Russian march
through Roumanian territory were dis
cussed. Of course, Germany would re
gard such an arrangement as a casus
belli." . , .
Major Moraht says in the Tageblatt:
"German and Austrian Ministers at
Bucharest have pointed out the conse
quences to Roumania of granting per
mission to the Russians to march
through Roumanian territory. Toward
us Roumania must not play her ephinx
tricks so far that one day, with
shrugging shoulders, she will place be
fore us un fait compli for which we
have not been able to take proper
counter measures." ' .
The material' aid Roumania could
give if she entered the war is impor
tant. She has had between 500,000 and
600,000 troops mobilized for nearly a
year and her army is reputed to be one
of the best equipped and trained in Eu
rope. Roumania may be in a position to
deal a powerful blow at Bulgaria from
the north in conjunction with the allies'
drive from the south.
It has been generally understood that
Russia has been willing to concede the
province of Bessarabia, the population
of which is largely Roumanian, in re
turn for Roumanian co-operation in the
war. Bessarabia is 18,000 miles, quare
and has a population of nearly 2.00Q.000.
SPAIN INCREASES ARMY
Officers to Be Provided Sufficient
for 600,000 Reserves.
MADRID, via Paris, Aug. 21. An in
crease in the Spanish army to 180,000
men on peace footing is provided for in
a military reorganization bill which
soon will be presented to Parliament
by the minister of war. General De
Luque. This calls for an increase ovet
the present force of 40,000 men. Under
the new plan 68.000 men will be gar
risoned in Morocco.
The reserves of the active army will
permit " rapid mobilization of 400,000
men. The project provides for officers
sufficient for a reserve army of 600,
000. .

Yield Baker Reports $1.10.
PENDLETON Or. Aug. 21. (Special.)
Wheat at S1.13 for club, reached the
highest price of the season today.
Although the market was 2 cents
above the Saturday price there was
very little wheat sold on the local mar
ket. Most of the farmers refuse to
sell on the rising market, although
some who have held over two crops
from former years have disposed of
this and are holding their 1916 crop
for speculation.
With such high prices prevailing
while the farmers still "have their
wheat, there will be more money
turned loose in Umatilla County than
for many years, according to bankers.
Generally when the strong prices
are being offered most of the farmers
have nothing to sell.

Tries to Stop Them.
TWIN' FALLS. Idaho. Aug. 21.
(Special. 1 Harold uid T.vnn T i-iv. 1
"brothers, ages 12 and 11. respectively.
are In custody here, charged by their
own confession with the murder of
Professor K. Thomas Hamill. & teacher
from Carson. Sev, at his homestead
45 miles south of Twin Falls. Tuesday
afternoon of last week. The story of
the shooting; and the flight of the boys
is almost unbelievable.
They were apprehended near Buhl.
20 miles west. Sunday evening, six
days after the murder. They had
traveled about 120 miles with Ham
Ill's horse and light wagon, sleeping
in the sage brush, without bedding and
thinly clad. They had with them sup
plies which they had taken from
Hamill's house, also eight guns and
revolvers of various kinds. They had
also stolen guns and other things from
ranchers along the way.
Boy Held at Inquest.
At the Inquest this afternoon the
verdict was that Hamill met his death
from a bullet from a rifle In the
hands of Lynn Lovelace. His elder
brother Harold is held as Instigator
and accessory. Neither the mother
nor their stepfather, a man named
Pennywell. can be located.
The mother left. presumably for
Boise, a 'month ago. leaving the chil
dren In the care of their stepfather.
Two weeks ago the stepfather, leaving
the children In care of a neighbor,
went away, presumably to Colorado.
The boys confess to petty stealing
for three years. They said they re
cently stole, a gun and other articles
from Hamill, who, on regaining . th
stolen articles, warned the boys to
keep away from his lace and Quit
stealing or he would report tUm to
the Sheriff.
Trip Made to Steal.
They returned to his cabin Tuesday
to steal bis horse, wagon, provisions
and gun. and go to their grandfather.
V. M. Retherford, at Lebanon. Or..
They were loading up the supplies
when Hamill returned. They barri
caded themselves in Hamill's house,
and as he approached ordered him
to stay back. Apparently realizing
the danger from the irresponsible boys.
Hamill parleyed with them, telling them
he was hungry.
The older boy agreed to carry food
to him, while the younger kept
Hamill covered with Hamill's own
gun, a 32-40 repeater, loaded with soft
nosed bullets. When the boy approached
Hamill seized him. got behind him, and
ordered tbe smaller boy to drop the
gun.
"Shoot him." ordered the older boy.
"I don't want to shoot him." replied
Lynn. "Shoot him," again ordered the
older boy, and the younger boy. not
strong enough to put the gun to his
shoulder, held it low, polntoj toward
Hamill. and pulled the trigger.
Iloy'a Arm Is Grated.
Hamill was stooping low behind the
older boy. The bullet passed througli
the left sleeve of the boy, grazing his
arm. and entered Hamill's right eye.
According to the boys' confession.
Hamill fell upon the older boy. who,
with Hamill's blood on his clothing,
crawled from beneath the dead man,
and" with his brother, finished their
preparations for flight.
As described by officers who trailed
them, the ride they mado was tho wild
est and most hazardous conceivable.
They traveled across the sage brush
much of the way. They drove down
into two canyons 400 feet deep. One
was so steep the wagon tipped over.
The boys, with surprising Ingenuity,
righted the wagon by throwing a rope
over the wagon to the lower wheel,
then hitching the horse to the rope.
They went many miles, then doubled
back, causing the officers to lose the
tralL
( ommnnllr Keela Horror.
The pursuing 'officers, however, did
not know they were trailing boy mur
derers,, but thought perhaps they were
trailing an Insane fiend. Meantime
Probation Officer Ormsby was asked
to watch for two small runaway boys,
who, when he found them, found also
In their possession Hamill's property.
