Campaign Attacked.
HARDING AGAIN QUIZZES GOX
"Powerful Interests" in For
eign Policy Alleged.
LEAGUE ISSUE PUT FIRST
Nominee Declared to Have Been
Vnable to Agree With Walsh
Concerning Article 10.
MARION. O.. July 30. Senator
Harding prefaced his front porch
campaign tonight with a statement
again asking Governor Cox for speci
fications of the democratic stand on
the league of nations and charging
that the "powerful International In
terests" concerned in President Wil
son's foreign policy were preparing
to finance liberally the democratic
campaign.
He declared tt had become appar
ent that the democratic " campaign
managers hoped to keep the league
in the background, but he promised
they would not be permitted to do so.
"The more the democrats attempt
to get away" from this issue," he said,
"the more insistent the country will
be to know what they Intend to do if
they are intrusted with the adminis
tration." t Spilt ob League Charged.
Referring to the conference at Day
ton yesterday between Governor Cox
and Senator Walsh of Massachusetts,
a democratic supporter of the repub
lican treaty reservations. Senator
Harding said it was evident they had
not agreed on article 10 and that the
democratic nominee was standing by
. the president for ratification of the
league without essential modiflca
tlons. The statement also rapped George
H. White, the democratic national
chairman, for his criticism of,the re
publican plan lo hold campaign con
tributions to. 1000 each, and pre
dicted that by November the country
would show Its disapproval of unlim
ited campaign funds.
Powerful Interest Accused.
"Undoubtedly it Is quite true," he
continued, "that certain powerful in
ternational Interests deeply concerned
In carrying out the administration's
foreign policy .are prepared to con
tribute most liberally to the demo
cratic funds. Undoubtedly it is true
too, that without such contributions
the democrats would, find it difficult
- to raise the funds they need."
The candidate did not reveal
whether he would make the league is
sue a feature of his .first front porch
address tomorrow, but those In afeis
confidence said he was prepared to
follow up the fight with other public
utterances soon. Tomorrow's address
la to be delivered to a delegation
from Mansfield, Ohio.
Senator Harding's statement said:
"Our democratic friends are having
difficulty getting away from the em
barrassment incidental to the candi
date's visit to the White House and
the announcement that he and the
president found themselves In entire
accord.
Old Questions Recalled.
"At the time of their conference 1
addressed some questions to the" dem
ocratic candidate, which he has not
thus far seen fit to answer. One was
whether jn his conference with Presi
dent Wilson he had pledged himself
to the ratification of the. treaty and
league without essential modifica
tions. Another was whether article 10
had been accepted by him. Still fur
ther, I asked whether Governor Cox
had undertaken, if elected, to renew
the demand that this country take a
mandate over Armenia.
"I asked whither Governor Cox had
undertaken to maintain the adminis
tration policy in the Adriatic, where
their policy had already well-nigh
forfaited the friendship of the Italian
nation, brought Italy to the verge of
revolution and almost wrecked the
establishment of the peace. I asked
whether Governor Cox had pledged
himsglf to Insist, as President Wilson
has heretofore Insisted, that Thrace
shall be settled as Bulgaria desires
rather than as Greece desires. .
No Questions Yet Answered. ,
. ;."In short, I asked whether the dem
ocratlc nominee has taken over the
various known.and unknown commit
ments of the administration's foreign
j.ollcy in order to establish harmony
between the president andGovernor
Cox. '
"None of these questions has been
answered. But there is accumulating
evidence as to the democratic atti
tude. Senator Walsh of Massachu
setts, a democrat, was in Dayton yes
terday, and after a long talk with
Governor Cox, declared he was going
to support too governor. According
to the newspaper reports,' the senator
was ask-ed about Governor Cox' deci
sion regarding article 10 and Senator
Walsh eaid It was possible for him
to agree wl'h a candidate on nine out
of ten Issues ,and still support that
candidate, even If they differed on the
tenth pro'poaal."
"Thus it become apparent Senator
Walsh was not able to agree with

BREAK NOW NECESSARY
Administration Newspaper Charges
"Flavor or Cheap Politics About
This Sort of Thing."
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington. July 30. Democratic
leaders and democratic newspapers
find themselves groping In the dark
today. The editorial and news col
umns of all Of theiNew Tork demo
cratic papers Indicate a desire to
ascertain their own whereabouts be
fore turning definitely in any direc
tion. s .
Statements made' yesterday by
George White, the new national chair
man, were so contradictory of the
interviews given out by Governor Cox
and President Wilson just after the
White House conference that polit
ical experts said it might be neces
sary to appeal to-the ouija board for
interpretations.
When Governor Cox left the White
House the Information was that the
democratic candidate -was in complete
acooTd with Mr. Wilson on the league
of. nations and prepared to make it
the dominant Issue. ' At any rate that
was everybody's interpretation at the
time .and the presidential candidate
did not undertake any correction.
Contract Is Indicated.
It was only when an unfavorable
reaction swept like a tidal wave over
Trail's End and Washington that ex
planations in the form of reservations
began to be offered to the White
House pronouncement of Governor
Cox. Chairman wnites statement
yesterday- that "no iron-elad contract
was entered into between the presi
dent and Governor Cox in discussing
the peace treaty," was accepted as
an admission that some kind of a
contract was made, though not "iron
clad," and that Mr. Cox' managers
hve found it Imperative that the pact
be broken for him.
The New Tork World and Times,
both administration papers on the
league of nations,, today soft-pedaled
on the league issue as it concerns
the democratic party. The World con
tented Itself with asking Senator
Harding where he stood on the
league, while the Times discussed the

ed in the St. Joe and Priest river dis
tricts of Idaho durine; the last 24
hours, and three or four of them are
reaching large proportions, according
to Information given out today by the
United States forest service in Spo
kane, Coeur dAlene and Sand point. '
Two f ire-f lgntlng crews were" sent
out from the Spokane office last
night and orders were received today
for six more crews numbering nearly
200 men, according to F. R. Ingalsbe,
local manager. A line of fire fighters
extending 100 yards into the street
from the Spokane fire office signed
government contracts, to combat the
forest flames this morning.
The recent hot days taking all of
the moisture from the ground, and
the electric storm which passed over
the Idaho forest districts yesterday
are given as reasons for the sudden
spread of fires.
"The three largest fires In this vi
cinity are the Perkins lake. Shoulder
creek and Coolin fires," declared Mr.
Fitting of Sandpoint. "The Shoulder
creek blaze covers about 200 acres.
and the Coolin fire, eight miles east of
Coolin, is 20 acres in extent now. The
Perkins lake fire is eight miles north
of Bonner's Ferry. About 20 other
small fires caused by lightning were
put out before gaining headway.

Meager reports from the Flathead
-country are to the effect that the
fires are in both the state and na
tional forests and in some privately
owned timberlands. The area where
the fires are burning is small, but It
has been dry there some time and re
ports are that men to assist in the
fight are not easily found.
Many of the fires in this section
are along the Kootenai river.

President Speaks Plainly in Appeal
to Workers to Abide by the
Terms of Contract.
INDIANAPOLIS. July 30. In com
pliance with the wishes oh Presi
dent Wilson, John Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, will issue a mandatory order in
structing all. miners on strike in
Indiana ami Illinois to return to work
immediately to permit the normal
operation of the mines, it was an
nounced at miners' national head
quarters, tonight. '
The statement was Issued after a
conference had reported favorably on
the president's message, received to
night. "I am profoundly impressed
by the president's telegram," the
statement said. "The suggestion of
the president will be approved by
every right-thinking and loyal mem
ber of the United Mine Workers of
America." f
"The fairness of his statement
must be apparent to everyone with
respect for constituted authority -or
the least regard for the public wel
fare," the statement continued. "The
suggestions of the president . . .
will be considered as a stinging re
buke to men of the type of Frank
Farrington, who has deliberately and
maliciously incited men to disregard
their contract obligations. Public
castigation of such leaders cannot be
too severe."
Cewrse Declared Clear.
Compliant with his order that the
strikers return, he said, would "pave
the wajrfor the calling of a wage
conference as suggested by the presi
dent for the consideration of in
equalities in the agreement."
WASHINGTON. July 30. President
Wilson, through the United, Mine
Workers of America, tonight appealed
to striking mine laborers in Illinois
and Indiana to return to work.
Inequalities 'in the wage scale
held by the strike leaders to be the
cause of the walkout which has
closed most of the bituminous mines
in the two states may exist, the
president 6aid. He added that he
could not recommend any correction
until the strikers returned, but that
when they did so he would invite
the joint scale committee of operators
and miners to meet to adjust any
inequalities.
Contract Held Violated.
The president's appeal, a telegram
addressed to the United Mine Workers
of America, was eent after he had
studied a report on the coal situa
tion submitted by Secretary of Labor
Wilson.
The president dwlared he was
dis
tressed, not only because failure at
this time. to mine coal would result
in suffering during, the winter, but
also because the "violation of the
terms of your solemn obligation Im
pairs your good name and threatens
the very foundation of fair industrial
relations."
Pointing out that the United Mine
Workers constitute the largest sin
gle labor organization in the world,
he said "no organization could long
endure that sets up its own strength
as superior to its plighted faith or
its duty to society at large."
Fair Relations Menaced.
The president's telegram follows:
"It is with a feeling of profound
regret and sorrow that I have learned
that many members of your organiza
tion, particularly In Illinois, have
engaged In a strike in violation of
the terms of the award of the bi
tuminous coal commission and your
agreement with the government that
the fiadings of the commission would
be - accepted by you as final and
binding.
"I am distressed, not only because
your action in refusing to mine coal
upon the terms which you had ac
cepted may result in great sufferings
in many households during the com
ing winter and Interfere with the
continuation of industrial and agri
cultural activity which is the basis
of the. prosperity which you, in com
mon with the balance of our' people,
have been enjoying, but also, and
what Is of far more importance, be
cause the violation of the terms of
your solemn obligation impairs your
good name, destroys the confidence
which is the basis of all mutual
agreement and threatens the very
foundation of fair industrial rela
tions. Faith Valuable Asaet.
"So government, no employer, no
person having any reputation to pro
tect, can afford to enter into con
tractual relatii n with any organiza
tion which systematically or repeat
edly violates its contracts.

Friends Hope to Keep Campaign
Progress From W hite House Fear
ing Irritation May Cause Relapse.
OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, D. C. July 30. Ac
cording to some of the most im
portant political callerc who have
seen the president during the last two
weeks, he is unable to walk across
the room and uses an Invalid chair al
most constantly. One leg and one
arm are helpless, according to these
callers, and the president's, com
plexion shows the long months of
suffering In a pallor that is ashen
gray.
Special arrangements have been
made for assisting him into the
White House automobile by means of
a Eeries .of steps, and so acute are
the inroads on the president's health
that the small exertion of using these
steps causes him to require a rest
ing period after he effort.
Efforts at the White House to min
imize the seriousness of the presi
dent's condition continue, but these
best informed will not be surprised if
serious complication- develop within
a few weeks. Months may intervene
on the other hand without great
change in the condition of the chief
executive.
Specialists familiar with the mala
dies which beset the president say
that in similar cases months of no
apparent change may occur unless
there arises some situation arousing
the patient to over-exertion or irri
tation. In such eases, developments
made may be rapid and 'serious.
Political friends of the president
are deeply worried and hojSe to keep
the irritations and vexations of the
campaign far from him personally
for fear of the effect of the strain on
his already overwrought physique.
WASHINGTON", July 30. Prayer for
President Wilson's return to health
was offere'd today by a minister, sit
ting in the president's chair and with
head bowed over the desk long used
by Mr. Wilson in his private office at

pastor of John Wesley Church of the
Nazarene of New York, had called at
the executive offices 20 years to the
day from his first visit there with
his bride to shake hands with Presi
dent McKInley. Accompanied by his
wife and daughter, Mr. Norberry
walked through the cabine. room and
then to the president's office. There

that Rathie had made another ap
pearance at 1 o'clock this after
noon near the Blue mountain sawmill,
about five miles from the tollgate,
toward which point the two half
breeds are headed. The report said
that Uathie had appeared at a farm
hou3e. where he again demanded food,
and after getting, it had once more
disappeared into the brush.
The fact that Rathie had come into
the open three times for food since
early last night'was given as an, in
dication that he had about reached his
limit of endurance and could hold out
but little longer. The Walla Walla
bloodhounds have followed Rathie's
trail since he appeared at the Read
ranch near Ryan gulch early . this
morning and when the telephone re
port was received here late today, it
said that the hounds were less than
two hours behind him at 3;40 o'clocK.
thi3 afternoon.
Rain Aids Hnntjra.
A heavy rain in this section last
night made the hunt today the most
favoiable since the men mad their
bieak from jail Sunday. possemen
were able to follow the tracks in
many places while the fresh foot
prints furnished a better scent for
the hounds.
The dogs were reported to be bay
ing angrily as they trailed through
th-j woods and underbrush toward
tollgate. It is believed that Rathie
is making a final desperate effort to
escape. He has procured food three
times within the last 24 hours, and
has been able to make the longest
flight since he first fought his way
to liberty-. The distance between
Ryan gulch, where he appeared at 1
o'clock this morning, and the Blue
mountain sawmill where he again
appeared Just 12 hours later. Is nearly
20 miles by the mountain trail which
he followed most of the distance.
Just what information, the other
posse has to give assurance tnat it
has the trail of Hart and Owens could
not be given through the meager
long-distance telephone received to
night from one of the posse. But ths
message was definite in stating that
it was on the trail of the two half
breeds, and Pendleton tonight is seelh
ing with excitement.
Fugitive Demands Food.
At 1 o'clock this morning Rpthia
went to the farm home of Don Read,
near the head of Ryan gulch, and
again demanded feed, which -was given.
The same accurate description of
Rathie as given last rkight by Mrs.
Ricks was again given this morning
from the Read ranch, thus leaving no
doubt but that the lone fugitive, who
is lurking in and around the Uibbon
district, is Rathie, who took, a leading
part in the hand-to-har.d encounter
which preceded Sheriff Taylor's mur
der in the jail office early Sunday
afternoon.
Men who are now on the trail of
Rathie have received orders to
bring him in alive if possible becaus
leaders in the man hunt believe that
he can be compelled to divulge valu
able information concerning the other
escaped prisoners if he is taken into
custody. The total price or. Rathie's
head now stands at ST50, dead or
alive.
Blind Lead Followed.
Intense excitement prevailed early
thil morning when two wayfaiers
brought word that two men identi-
