Ilardiner Suggests Plan for Strike Settlement (Continued from page one) That President Harding realizes the significance of this sudden turn of events is evidenced by his action in calling several leaders of the strikers to Washington. Bert M. Jewell, president of the shopcrafts union; William Johnston, president of the machinists’ union, and James Noonan, president of the electrical workers union, were due at the White House about noon. It is understood that Harding may have a new offer to make to the strikers more nearly acceptable to the railway executives. Within the next tew days Harding! is expected to have a White House conference with the brotherhood chiefs, in compliance with their request for an audience to lay their case before him. The chiefs are W. G. Lee. president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen; Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers: B. B. Robertson, president of the Brotherhood of Firemen and Enginemen, and L. B. Sheppard, president of the Order of Railway Conductors. The latter, however, is not a party to the request for a conference CHICAGO MARKET CLOSE Chicago, Aug. s—(Specials—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Wheat: Sept. $1 07; Dec. $1.0754; May $1.12.

I NEW JERSEY OVERSUBSCRIBES QUOTA IN WOODROW WILSON FOUNDATION CAMPAIGN New York, July 3a. —Franklin D. Roosevelt, national chairman oi the ’Woodrow Wilson foundation announced today that the state ot New Jersey had oversubscribed its quota ol the 31,000,000 fund being raised to provide awards for distinguished public ser- ’ vice, thereby winning first honors in the race among the states to complete their allotments. I Judge j. W arren Davis, chairman for I New Jersey, sent word that the state ' had raised $50,262.49 uguinst the quota of $50,000 assigned to it. Mr. Roosevelt said Hint New Jersey had won

first place in the entire list of states being tile first to completely subscribe its proportion of the fund. "The lead taken by the state of New Jersey in oversubscribing its proportion of the Woodrow Wilson Fund is most fitting Mr. Roosevelt said. "New Jersey cherishes an intimate association with Mr. Wilson in whose honi or Uie fund is being raised. Tile people lot' New Jersey knew tile former Pros! dent first as a professor in Princeton University, 'then as president id Princeton, and finally as Governor oi the state. "This splendid contribution Lom the people of the state places New Jersey at the head of the so-called "Wil-

l ' — i son Group" of states which was a voluntary association of states which had , some intimate association with Mr. . Wilson's life, for the purpose of com pleting the endowment of the Woodrow \» Ison Awards. Other states are expected to follow New Jersey's eximpie very shortly and report the com plete subscription ot their allotments." SAY MOVIE STAR MISREPRESENTS JAPAN Tokyo—Sessue Hyakawa is having a hot old time during his visit to his home country. He is getting both

brickbats and boquets, with the latter predominating. Hayakawa is one of the famous moving picture stars of America. He is the :nly Japanese who has ever attained distinction in foreign filmdom. Tin Japanese are inordinate movie fanind throughout the empire Hayakawa s name is almost that of a hero. And yet, when it. was announced not >ong ago that Hayakawa was returning to his country tor a three month's vis it, a small group in Tokyo, called the "Loyal Legion," got together and framed an "anti-Sessue demonstration.” The "Loyal Legion” complained that one of the Japanese screen-star’s pic- • tures, "Tiie Cheat," “misrepresented the Japanese people to he American public.” “Sessue ought to be ashamed of himself,” read their resolutions. “We will tell him so. We will wave our flags at him.” Hayakawa’s admirers held a bigger meeting. “Sessue has nothing to be ashamed of,” they resolved. “We will toil him that. We will wave our flags at him, too. We will have more flags. Then he will feel good, and be glad hat he returned to visit his country.” The flagmakers hope it will be a long ■tnd cruel war.

SPREAD OF CATTLE TUBERCULOSIS LAID TO MANY CAUSES What is the most common method of spreading bovine tuberculosis in your community? This question ask ed by the United States Department of Agriculture in the interest of establishing accredited tuberculosis freeherds brought many answers ascribing the spread of this disease to about a dozen causes. In North Dakota, where range con ditions are typical of those in many other states of the Northwest, unre stricted ranging of cattle was given as a common cause. Drinking at the same pool was another. The intro duction of the disease was laid to cat tie, not properly tested, being ship . ped into the State. In parts where the pastures are fenced, the complaint was that the disease is spread by cattle nosing each 1 other at fence lines. One breeder ad- • vocated a double line of fence to prevent this means of contact. In this State, where purebred cattle are generally tested before being sold but grade cattle are not, much of the . .0 „ .1: .1— i

spread of the disease is laid to Infected grade stock. Cloce housing in poorly ventilated buildings was given as a cause of disease by a few breed ers. Some, from observation and experience, laid the spread of the disease to feeding calves and pigs, milk from tuberculous animals. From one source came the claim that it. was spread from dead animals by dogs and hogs running at large and feeding upon the carcasses. From' Oklahoma came fewer reasons, but of the same type: Common pasture,. importation of untested animals from other States and the sale locally of untested animals, foul stables, and contact with infected cattle in adjoining fields by breaehy stock crawling through fences or stock nosing at fence lines. ,

Shortly following the death of she celebrated poet on July 22, 1916 a number of his friends held a meeting at Indianapolis to formulate plans for an appropriate memorial. Half a dozen projects were suggested but the suggestion of children’s hospital appealed most strongly not only as a fitting tribute to the children’s poet, but principally because of the urgent need for a state children's hospital. Since that time the Indiana legislature has enacted a law authorizing the establishment of the hospital and providing the nucleus of the building fund, $125,000. However, if the hospital is to be built the remainder of the money with which to defray the building cost must be raised by popular subscription. The campaign is just in its preliminary steges over the state and there is a general feeling in favor of the movement, as every county in the state will be directly benefltted. The hospital will be made up of a group of four buildings and when entirely completed it will represent an expenditure of approximately $-’•" 000,000. A recent survey by the United States Public Health Service revealed that there are 10,000 children in the state seriously in need of specialized hospital care. The I® W authorizing the project sets out that any child in the state under sivteen years of age who is legally a resident of the state may be admitted to the hospital 'or treatment.
