MRS. HUGHES IS IN PARTY
Republican Nominee's Wife, Though
Close Advisor, Keeps in Back
ground and Wants No Re
ception In Ifer Behalf.
NEW YORK, Aug. B. (Special.)
Charles Evans Hughes, accompanied by
bis wife, several newspaper correspond
ents and representatives of three press
services, started today Tor a tour of the
country that will cover approximately
11,000 miles, during- which Mr. Hughes
will make about 30 speeches and shake
hands with many thousands of persons.
, When the tour is ended the people, on
two lines from the East to the Pacific
Coast will know a great deal more
about the personality of Mr. Hughes
and his speeches will also leave noth
ing to the imagination as to where he
stands on every proposition, acute and
prospective, that the America. Nation
is facing.
Mr. Hughes E( for Trip.
"I am entering upon the trip with
the greatest zest," was the assertion
made tonight by Mr. Hughes, candidate
for President, just before be started
on the journey.
"It will be most gratifying to have
this opportunity of meeting the people,
and I am anticipating a very interest
ing series of meetings," he added.
Mr. Hughes inspected the new head
quarters of the Republican Nationa
Committee in Fifth avenue this aft
ernoon. When shown the reporters'
room he remarked:
. . "The seat of government, eh?"
, Trunks Filled With Data.
Mr. Hughes carries several trunks.
They contain, some clothing enough to
meet any occasion or emergency, tut
chiefly they are crammed with data
concerning Mexico, the condition of th
Army and Navy, effects of the tariff
and many other topics.
Mr. Hughes expects that his speeches
will be assailed in the Democratic press
as he progresses across the country
and back and that in every city he will
encounter some new Issues raised by
the opposition. He is loaded with facts
anj data to meet every such emergency.
Mrs. Hushes Keenly Interested.
Mrs. Hughes, who is a most impor
tant member of the party, is proud of
her husband and most intensely inter
ested in the campaign. She is proud of
hij entire public career and particular
ly of his record as Governor of New
York and on the supreme bench. She
shares his Intense fervor in the present
campaign and will be his confidential
adviser on the trip, as she has always
been in all his public career.
At the same time Mrs. Hughes has
made it clear to the reception commit
tees all along the line that she does not
desire any receptions in her behalf. She
prefers self-effacement nd says she Is
traveling as the wile of the Presiden
tial candidate and that he, r.nd not she.
is the person, the people desire to see
and hear. She has a wonderfully clear
and analytical mind and after each
meeting she will be abli to tell her
husband unerringly Just what sort ot
Impression he made and why.
Mr. Hughes does not expect to get
back to New York before the middle

'We particularly regret that stu
dents are often given too large an
llowance of money, ' and some are
given or loaned automobiles, by their
parents, or others." President Wilbur's
letter reads. "A student's principal
business is his studies. He needs

like, and to pay certain fees and dues.
admissions to a few entertainments
and special dental and medical bills.
Any money supplied beyond these
simple needs means that time will be
wasted in spending it. A surplus of
money is one of the biggest handicaps
possible for the youth who expects to
be a good student.
It takes time to run an automobile
and it often leads to life off the cam
pus, to extravagance and much fool
ishness." 'There is no need," President Wil
bur told parents, "to supply money
for orchids for dance partners, or for
taxi hire. ' The student who cannot be
content to lead the simple, clean, in
dustrious life expected on the Stan-
lord campus, should go elsewhere.

General Joseph Joffre, generalissimo

on many interesting current phases of

Command Is Wide.
It was an exceptional opportunity to

French army, but also is in supreme
authority over the French. British and
Belgian forces on the western front
and the French, British and Serbian
armies of half a million men around
Saloniki, as well as being the senior
commander in the united action by
which the allies are conducting; slmul-

Part of one systematic whole.
-it Is this recent co-ordination of the
commands on the many fronts that has
permitted General Joffre to give .full
scops to his military talent, which
probably has beer, exercised over more
I men of the allied nations than ever has
fallen to one military commander.

but except for this there was little out

General Joffre presented a striking

uniform with little gold braid and dec

of good health and perfect physical
condition, but its striking feature was
the indomitable firmness and calmness
shown in that square Jaw and open
countenance. Most French officers are
scrupulously well tailored and groomed.
and while General Joffre was not lack
ing in this, yet there was something
suggesting General Grant's disregard
of the little conventionalities of uni

$1000 CUT FROM EXEMPTIONS
Single Persons Would Pay on
All More Than $2000.
LEVY ADDED TO MUNITIONS
Surtax on Earnings of More Than
TwoMllIIon Dollars Yearly Is
Increased to Bring in Keve
nne of 910,000,000.
WASHINGTON", Aug. S. Reduction of
the income tax exemption from f S000
to 12000 for single persons and from
$4000 to 13000 for those with families
was ordered recommended to the Sen
ate tonight by Democratic members of
the finance committee who are revis
ing the House revenue bill.
The change is proposed in an amend
ment which would put the additional
$1000 taxes in a separate classification
and Impose on it a normal tax of 1 per
cent. Instead of the 2 per cent as
sessed against Incomes of more than
$3000 for single persons and of more
than 14000 for married persons.
The amendment after an all-day dis
cussion prevailed by a majority of only
one vote, opposition persisting to the
last.
Decision Bay Be Reversed.
After announcement of the result by
Chairman Simmons, some of the Demo
cratlc Senators said that the decision
was tentative and might be overturned
when the amendment waa submitted to
the full membership of the committee
next week.
The rollcall on the amendment was
not disclosed. Those who favored it
emphasized the grsve necessity for
additional revenue, and had estimates
before them showing that the proposed
exemption reductions would add about
$8,000,000 to the treasury. It probably
would Increase several fold the total
number of taxable Incomes, r
The amendment is the second change
in the Income tax proposed' by Senate
Democrats, who last night voted to
Increase the surtax on Incomes in ex
cess of 12,000,000 from 10 to 13 per
cent. It Is estimated that the surtax
change, will bring in $10,000,000 addi
tional revenue.
Excise Reduction Proposed.
The sub-committee on the munitions
section of the revenue bill. It was def
initely announced, has voted to reduce
the proposed excise tax on productions
of copper and to add to the munitions
list an excise tax on productions of
lead, zinc. Iron and steeL Senator
Stone, chairman of the sub-committee.
did not disclose the amount Tf the pro
posed taxes, -which hava not yet been
considered by the full Democratic mem
bership. "Personally." said Senator Stone. "I
would recommend a tax on all abnormal
profits on munitions ot war. A rea
sonable profit could be established by
experts and a tax levied on all above
that figure."
