. Washington, ;. Sept." - 29. " President
Wilson had a restless night but is
sleeping this morning," a bulletin issued
by Dr. Cary T. Grayson, t'e president's
physician suid today.
. Only members of the president's im
mediate family are permitted to in
him. All appointments have been can-
called and no other will bo made, accord
ing to Secretary Tumulty.
Dr. Grayson said it is undecided wheth
er tho president will leave Washington
to rest at some other place. . ,
The round table industrial conference,
set for October 0 will meet despite the
illness of President Wilson it was safd
at the White Housp today. ' The pror,'

will tour the country before coining, to

President Wilson, as soon as his health
permits, is expected to issue a- state
ment containing a number of arguments
for ratification of the peace trenty,
which his breakdown prevented him
from making in speeches at Little Rod;,
Oklahoma- Citv, Memphis and Louis
ville Before he became ill, it was learned
that he had "something up frig sleeve''
that he was saving ammunition for
the concluding addresses of his trip. His
idea apparently was to finish his drive
fur ratification in such a manner that
world-wide attention would be rivekcu
on it, returneding to Washington primed
for a "show down" on acceptance or
rejection of the treaty. Illness prevent
ed this climax. It was considered like
ly today he would take tho first oppor
tunity to make use of his arguments by
the issuance of this statement.

Washington, Sept. 9. A. resolution
calling on the state department for-" all

ican marines in Dnlmanu was intro
duced, today by Sonator Now, Indiana..
Opposition . to, its .-consideration by
Senator Hitchcock, administration lean

senator Sherman, Illinois, also intro
duced a joint resolution which -declared
tho "interference" by - the ; United
States in the -Adriatic was '.'unwarrant
ed and- without lawful authority ' ' and
not within the "proper duty or prov
ince" of this government.
The landing at Trau ordered by the
supremo war council, is "beyond the
power of such council or the executive
department, of this government,", the
resolution further stated. The intent to
thus anticipate the action of the senate
on the peace treaty was ''unwarranted
and declared to bo no binding force on
the United Slates,'-' by the resolution.
i It was referred to tho foreign rela
tions committee. , v - ;
Introduction of the resolutions start
ed a running fire of debate, in which
Hitchcock used the Fjume-Dulmatinn
situation as the text for an admonition
to tho senate on tho folly of further de
laying treaty ratification. Ho was
heckled by republican senators, who
declared tho American marines were
landed by order of the British admiral
ty or of the supremo council, n "bodv
not recognized by Hie American consti
tution." - - :-'-'.

IN EVERY LINE
With the close of ' the 58th annual
state fair of Oregon the state treasurer's '
coffers will be enriched by approximate-1
ly $80,000; Salem has been made ac-j
quainted with more thaii 150,000 visit-.
ing guests, aad the banner event of its
kind ever held in the state has been
successfully concluded., . '.
The abova estimatewere made Sat-
urdny night, tho closing-day of tho fair,
by A. H. Lea, secretary of tho state fair
board. He was unexpectedly culled to(
Portland Monday morning, so whether
these figures will be exceeded will not
be known until Mr. Lea's return Mon
day evening. .
Attendance at tho fair this veur Is
said to have exceeded by one-third that
of any previous year. Saturday's ot-
iHjndonvj broke all records for :he clos
ing day. Gate receipts, Saturday nigHt
totalled 4050 42190 more than the last
day's receipts in J ltl8.
Mon-Iav the wc rk of disinantltiti,; the
exhibition pavilions and sales stands
was in full swing. All exhibits, except
33 head of prize-winning cattle from the
Gene-Duluth Farms of Minnesota, and
three carloads of banner-carrying horses
from the Merritt-Bowers Farm, Tulare, I
'Cal.. have left the fair' grounds. These
cattle and norscs win oe permuiea io
rest a few days betorc undertaking tne
return journey to tueir -Homes.
Figures, at 4 o'clock Saturday, show
ed that 7o.471.26 . had been netted
through the big fair. Several thousands
of dollars arc yet to be "received from
non-resident exhibitors, according to
Miss Wilson, secretary to Mr. Lea, and
with tho receipt of this thetotol clear
ance from the show is expected to reach
$80,000.
Promise of a substantial balnnoe in
funds, although tho expense of this
year's fair was greater than any pre
vious ones, is made by Mr. Lea. Final
fiirures revealing the amount of this
balance may not bo known for 30 days
Jor more, when clerks working on the
' books of the fair have completed their
task.
The law requires that this report be in
tl,c hands of Governor Oicott and State
Treasurer Hoff by December 1."
' The thousands of visitors to the fair
departed with best of impressions of i
in the vicinity and will remain to avail
themselves of the outdoor life la the
prevailing good weather. .
One of the greatest features of this
year's fair was the auto races. The
success of this part of the entertain

program of events. Horse races were
equally successfully staged. No acci
