San Francisco, Aug. 19. Charles
Kvans Hughes, republican candidate
for president, spent the second day of ;
his San Francisco visit talking with
workmen at the I'nioii Iron Works, j
lunching at the Commercial cliih, con
ferring with ill c republican country
newspaper editors assembled here and
addressing a mass meeting in Oak
land. Between engagements he viewed
as much of San l'"rancisco and the
hay section as his limited time al
lowed. At the Union Iron Works, where
the men assembled to hear the former
governor, Ignatius Sullhan, a grimy
machinist, left his lathe long enough
to climb into Mr. Hughes' automobile'
and introduce him. The candidate re
peated his declarations tor protective
tariff, argued for more liberal work
ing conditions and saiil he believed
in better hours (or laborers, old-age
pensions, proper recreation and safe
guards for life and limb.
Must Be Co-Operative.
"You can't make wages out of in
dustrial turmoil,' he said. "Kndless
restlessness inu.-t stop. There must
be a spirit of co-operation between
all. There can be no success of labor
without co-operation with capital, and
no success of capital without co
operation with labor.
"A foundation must be formed by
contented workingmen, who know
they have a share in the nation's pros
perity. At present. I think the hu
man factor in production has not
been recognized enough."
Following his address, Mr. Hughes
shook the grimy' hands of several hun
dred workmen as his automobile
;dged its way in and out of the crowd.
At the Commercial club luncheon
the candidate again made his declara
tion in favor of a protective tariff,
irgued for preparedness and assailed
!he Wilson administration for its
Mexican policy.
Must Foster Enterprise.
Mr. Hughes told his business au
dience at the Commercial club: "I
do not believe we can run this gov
ernment by mixing business and poli
tics. I am for business honestly ad
ministrated. We have had abundant
surgery, but nobody can live on sur
aery alone; the patients body must be
nuiit up. We must foster enterprise
and make the man of business feel
he has free avenues to success.
"I do not believe in, nor do I know
any panacea for our governmental ills.
1 believe in cost sheets and getting
down to hard facts by a study of our
problems and then solving them on
that basis. The administration of
our government should be an ex
ample to business men.
"T like to sec where we can do for
America, not to look, to cut off and
destroy."
Compensation Bill

Washington, Aug. 19. The work
men's compensation bill to provide
uniform compensation for government
employes when disabled and adequate
benefits for their families in rase of

practically in the same form as it

EDITOR'S DAUGHTER
DISCOVERED SHOT
Miss Dessie Westervelt's Body
Found With Bullet in Head
in Father's Office.
NO MOTIVE FOR SUICIDE
(t'oDtlnufd on Tage Two, klamn Four.)
Scottsbluff, Neb., Aug. 19. (Special
Telegram.) Miss Dessie Westervclt,
oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. E. T.
Westervelt, was found dead in the of;
fice of the Scottsbluff Republican,
her father's paper, at an early hour
this morning.
About 6 o'clock she left her home, a
block from the office, to take a walk.
Nothing more was seen of her until
the oflice force reported for work.
One of the men went to the back of
the oflice behind the presses to hang
up bis coat and found the dead body.
A 38-calibrc revolver belonging to
her father was on her breast and the
shot that had ended the life passed
into the temple.
Miss Westervelt, who was one of
the finest arid most highly respected
young women in the city, has lived
here all her life. She graduated from
the local high school.
For a number uf jcars she was in
the employ of the local postoffice but
for a few months she has been stay
ing at home. A coroner's inquest will
be held, but there is little probability
of its clearing up the reason for either
suicide or foul play. She is not
known to have had any trouble of any
kind and neither is she known to have
had any enemies in the world, On the
contrary everyone -who knew her re
spected and admired her.

Farmer Badly Injured
By an Enraged Bull
I North Platte, Neb., Aug. R -(Spc-icial.)
John Crandall. a farmer living
eleven miles southwest ot" here, is in
ja critical condition from injuries sus
tained when he was thrown lo the
! ground and severely mauled bv an en
I raged bull. Crandall was driving a
herd of of cattle from one pasture to
! another when the bull suddenly bc
jcame enraged, rushed upon him, threw
him to the ground and, dropping on
jits knees, mauled the farmer for sev
eral moments. Crandall finally man
aged to roll under a nearby fence and
; escape. He walked nearly a mile to
-his home where medical examination
I showed that five ribs were fractured,
!his body severely bruised and possible
j internal injuries. The bull had previ-
ouly shown Mgns of vicioiiMios and
i had bm recei.tly been dehorned. To
Mhis lact Crandall undoubtedly owes
j his life.
A little package caused a big feel-1
ing of discomfort in the office of !
1. nited States Marshal Flynn Satur
day, j
It was a two-ounce bottle done up i
in many thicknesses of soft paper.
The bottle was full of nitroglycer-,
inc. !
it belonged to Charles Davis, abas'
Charles I.evi, one of the men who,
robbed the postoffice at Oakdale,
Neb., Wednoday.
Davis, a little, smiling man, was in j
I lie room aw ait ing removal to the
county jail, and altogether too happy, i
it seemed, for a man who had just;
offered to plead guilty and go to
prison for from three to six years. I
What to do with that two ounces
of bottled calamity and devastation!
was what worried Marshal Flynn. j
"Pour it out in the street. It'll
fvapoiat' in a few minutes, " said;
Davis. "I'm going to plead guilty
anyway wont need it for evidence.",
"Guess there's enough there to
blow up this whole building," ven
tured Deputv Giant Yates.
"Yes." said the yeggman m a bored
son of tone. "It it gets too hot the
soup's liable to go oil' any minute.;
I Jon't need no fue." i
Everybody moved to the other side
of the room and several of the visit
ors "guessed" they "must be going"
and went at once.
"Four it in the gutter," suggested
"Jim" Nukerson.
"Yes, and have someone come along
and drop a cigar butt into it," replied
the marshal.
Eventually Deputy Marshal Quinley
was chosen to carry the bottle down
to the Missouri river and there care
fully empty its awful contents into the
swift-llow ing watt r
Everybody ade him an affectionate
farewell when he started ami asked
if he had any List wishes, but as no
explosion lias shaken the city up to
the present time (2 p. ni ) it is pre
sumed and hoped tli.it he executed his
commission with safety.
James Thomas was the other of the
pair who robbed the Oakdale postof
fice. Both waived hearing before t he
commissioner and were bound over to
the grand jui .
The were taken down 10 the police
station to be "mugged." Davis" pic
ture was found already in the rogues'
gallery.
Besides the nitroglycerine the men
were armed with .44-cabber revolvers
and hud fuses, flash lights and com
plete burglars' kits.

Come and Talk Over
Strike Situation.
MEETING FOR MONDAY
Executives of Roads Fail ' to
Give Answer to Proposi
tion Submitted.
MATTER NOT CLOSED
WasliinKt'iii, Auk. W. Representa
tives of the fnnr brotherhoods of rail
way employes liehl a meeting; this
afternoon anil after hearins Presidnt
Wilson's statement read, adjourned
until 111 n'eloek Monday morning.
.Indr Chambers of the federal
board of mediation, conferred with
-ome of the leaders, hut declined to
make public his mission.
Reports were eurrent amcng the
employes after the visit of Judge
Chambers that a counter-proposal was
expected froui the railroad managers.
Mr. Chambers refused to confirm or
denv the renort.
President Wilson sent the following
telegram to fourteen presidents of
wer.tern railroads:
"Discussion of the matter involved
in the threatened railway strike is still
continuing. It is highly important
that I should personally ennter wttn
von or some one authorized to repre
sent yon at the earliest possible mo
ment. Hone vou can arrange mat-
terr so as to be able to come to
Washington at once."
Give No Final Answer.
After an hour's conference with
President Wilson today the thirty
three railroad presidents left the
White House without giving any in
dication that they had abandoned
their stand for arbitration but with
assurance that the negotiations were
not ended.
The railroad executives gave no
final answer to tne president's propo
sals, but will deliberate on them to
day and see President Wilson again
probably Monday,
While President Wilson was eon
ferring with the executives he made
public a statement outlining his plan.
In his address to the officials
President Wilson said:
"If a strike comes the public will
know where the responsibility rests.
It will not Be on me.
Question Is Not Closed.
All the railroad presidents said he
question was not closed and that the!
negotiations would be continued.
President Holden of the Burlington,
spokesman for the officials, said no
time had been set for them to see
President Wilson again, but that it
was necessary to confer with the com
mittee of managers, which has the au
thority to accept or reject plans.
Several of the executives indicated
disappointment over President Wil
son's statement, but showed particu
lar interest in his mention of the pos
sibility of the Interstate Commerce
commission considering an increase
in freight rates.
In his talk to the executives today.
President Wilson told them they were!
facing a condition, not a principle. Hei
asked why they should demand arbi
tration when there was no law fori
compulsory arbitration and he knew
sory arbitration law through congressJ
the employes, he recalled, had con
sistently refused arbitration and hei
believed it was impossible to gain in
in the present controversy.
Cannot Sit as Judge.
I have been asked to sit as a
judge, said the president in sub-
stance. "I cannot do that, I simply
I can suggest a plan, a way in which
: I believe this question can be settled
1 fairly to all sides.
President Wilson urged again thai
the railroads accept the plan, adopt
i the eight-hour day at least tempor
I arily, and then allow the proposed
commission to fully investigate the
tacts, tie pointed out that the rail
roads brought forward one set oi
statements and the employes another,
: and it was impossible tor him to tel
: which was correct.
t In conclusion. President Wilsor
, said he believed his plan was the on!)
I equitable way of settling the contro
; versy and that under it, both sides
! would be treated tairlv.
Mr. Holden gave the president esti
. mates of the cost of the eight-hous
day to the railroads. President Wll
( son. in reply, urged that the railrqad
otticiais. with the committee of mana
gers, very careiully consider his plan

was agreed to by the railroad execu

It was learned definitely that iij
