The statement of senate republican leaders this afternoon that they will not seek to obstruct the legislation in creased confidence of the administra tion men in the senate that the strike crisis is as good as ended. Following adjournment of the re publican senate conference, it was an nounced Senator Smoot. would introduce a substitute resolution to include pro vision for compulsory arbitration. Some of the members who attended said there would be no attempt to fili buster against the committee's bill but that strong effort would be made ' to get the arbitration provision in. However, they said, they did nut think it would be prevented from com ing to a vote on schedule time. Report Bill Favorably. The interstate commerce committee reported the senate bill favorably at 2:30 and unanimous consent to proceed with it was granted.

President Gompers of the Amer- can Federation of Labor was making! feverish efforts to get in touch with Garretson and the other brotherhood men.

Tl Have Abandoned Some Points to Straighten and Strength en Lines . By Carl W. Ackennan. (United PreBS staff correspondent.) Berlin, Sept. 1. Despite statements appearing in the Austrian press, the Teutonic forces have no intention of evacuating the largest part of Transyl vania, the United Press was informed this afternoon. The plan of campaign contemplates the evacuation of onlv a few places. From several of these the Austrians al ready have retired. The withdrawal in each instance was a part of a plan agreed upon many months ago and was simply for the purpose of straightening and shortening the line. Vienna dispatches regarding the char acter of the early fighting in Transyl vania have increased the public confi dence in the ultimate success of the Austro-Gcrmans in this new war thea tre. It is stated that whenever the Austrians made a stand they repelled superior Rumanian forces with compar ative ease. Similarly on the Greek front the Bul- gars have had little trouble repelling oerrjian advances. The war office today announced that Serbian attacks in the region of Ccganaka l'lanina and Mog lena broke down.

The Eternal Question Leads to Suicide Route Portland, Ore., Sept. 1. Leaving a note with the description and picture of the man she alleges left her after gaining her friendship on the steamer Kose City, Miss kllen .Miller, age 22, formerly a clerk at the Panama Pacific exposition grounds, Pan xrancisco, at tempted suicide by gas in a lodging house today. Other roomers noticed the odor of gas, smashed down the door and saved her. The note she left had the man's pic ture pinned nt the top, and under it the words: "This is the man. Beware of the fellow in the white hat. Please protect others." CHAIRMAN WILCOX (Continued rrom page one.) Roosevelt's appearance in Maine won't affect the campaign there in the least," said McCornnck of the democratic na tiontl committee today. McCormick said his faith in T. K.'s power was shaken two years ago. "When I whs a candidate for gover nor of Pennsylvania Teddy indorsed me and came through Pennsylvania whoop ing it up for me and they made n great fuss about him," McCormick said. "I wasn't elected. Thnt shows just how strong his influence with, the voters is. "Roosevelt in his speech last night followed in the footsteps of Hughes, lie criticised the president for his Mex ican policy but he offered no solution. The people want to know what Roose velt and Hughes would have done." Commenting on the congratulatory telegram sent to Governor Johnson bv Hughes yesterday, McCormick said "The act is typicul of the republican candidate. When a word of recognition might have proved helpful to the pro the:gressive candidate. .Jr. Hughes was sil ent.:-He was in the same hotel in Cali fornia with Governor Johnson, but they did not meet. Hughes' recognition of (iovernor Johnson smacks of his att tude toward suffrage. When suffrage was an issue in his own state, Mr. Hughes was silent. Now. however, that he is a candidate, he thinks he may be able to catch the women voters in the suffrage states, so he indorses suffrage as a national issue. Mr. Hughes' utti tude toward the progressives and to ward women is the same. His action with respect to each is the act of a typ ical politician."

Zemo, Cleveland, I Gas Pressure Low and Company Asks Users to Economize Due to the combination of a sudden failure of one of the gas generators' at the Salem gas plant and an unusually large quantity of gas being used for canning fruit, the consumption of gas has exceeded the amount generated dur ing the past 48 hours. As a result, the supply on hand in the storage tanks or holders is very low and this natural ly causes the pressure to be low. The gas company hopes to be able to make enough gns to at least equal the demand until the heavy demand for gas is passed and the generators brought bacK to normal. It is possible that this cannot be done and as a result the pressure will drop almost to zero. Therefore, if the gns users who can use other means for heat ing will do so for a few days, those who have no other means will be able to get enough gns to get along with until the crisis is passed. The gas company requests that those who can, do not use gas in this emerg ency. The gas company will announce through the columns of this paper when conditions are normal again. The company ordered an additional generator several months ago that will increase the capacity at least one-half, but it has been delayed in shipment, due to congested freight conditions. It is in transit and one car load of the machinery has already been received. Non-Union Longshoreman Shot to Death in Tacoma Taooma, Wash.. Sent. 1.

After sev eral years of retirement, tile odds and ends of human life are again a fea ture attraction of the Barnum & Ilailey curcus this season, and one of the greatest gatherings of human curiosi ties ever assembled will come to Sn lem with the circus on Saturday, Sep tember 0. Since the passing of the "dime mu seums" and the retirement of the freuks from circus life, these strange people have mostly gutiiered in little colonies of their own, in the suburbs of Philadelphia and New York, and lived seclniled lives. Most of the old timers are wealthy and own their own homes, but, like all other members of the sawdust world, they long for the free, happy life of the circus, and they are prone to be extremely seiisntivo to their misfortunes, when left to their own resources. Seldom, if ever, is a freak to be seen in public when not on exhibition, and this explains the secluded little colonies where most of them have lived during the past few years. So many demands have been made on the management of the Tiarmim & Hui luy circus by the public for the return of the freaks tiint an effort has been mule this season to revive the old time frenk congress that was once a stellar attraction with the big shows. Of course, even of late years, there have always been n few curiosities of this nature in the side shows, hut this Hen son all the good old timers will be on the job, as well as a host of new ones thut imve sprung up.
