HOOSIERS HIKE LIKE REAL SOLDIERS

Mosquitoes, Gnats, Flies and Creepin’ Things Besiege Boys in Khaki on Practice Hike. Mercedes, Texas, Aug. 18.—The First Indiana today made the first of the practice marches that are the last thing in fitting a soldiers for fighting and the significance of it is that the First, as well as other Indiana troops, is being prepared for anything that may happen. Of course, they cannot be sent into Mexico until the president signs the draft till, but they can do guard duty along the American side of the Rio Grande, nnd that duty already has begun. The practice march of the First regiment was in the line of guard duty." ' The bugles turned out the First Indiana at sunrise, and it was not long until they were matching away for Progreso. It required some time to get the men and horses ,across Llano Grande lake, but when that was accomplished they went on, with Colonel Leslie R. Naftzgor at their head. At his side, also on horseback, rode Lieutenant Colonel J. J. Toffey, Jr. If his friends at the University Club at Indianapolis could have seen him this morning they would do no more good this day. Behind them long rows of men in khaki, rifles on shoulder and ammunition belts filled, with heads erect, shoulders squared, eyes to the front, marching with the regularity of the ticking of a clock. The slouching gait of Fort Harrison was gone. They were ready for any emergency. The march was a long one. Fifty minutes of marching, ten minutes of rest. A long rest at noon and rations served just as if they were in th; field—hard tack, cold potatoes, no jam, no pie, no lemonade, water from the canteen and coffee that the gods might envy, that is, if the gods ever drank coffee. It was a fearfully hot day. Even the jackdaws, hopping along the road, seemed faint from the sun, but not a man fell out of ranks and not a soldier weakened. In some places the road, shade by trees, was a mudhole. In other places it was a pile of dust. There were germs in the mudholes and bacilli in the dust. Busy, curious and thirsty flies swarmed about the soldiers. Vicious little gnats clouded over them. Blood extracting mosquitoes attacked them. But on they marched over highways intended for aeroplanes only. The trees were lean and forlorn; hero and there were crimson blotches and flowers from which there was no perfume; rank smelling grass, rattlesnakes hidden in deep thickets, where men with murderous hearts also might be lurking; where beetles and centipedes an! crawling things live. That is what the soldiers of the First Indiana went through today and a better satisfied lot you never saw. They are beginning to laugh at what they regarded as hardships when they first came here, because now they see they are getting in shape for the real thing in a soldier’s lifo.

TARIFF AND DEFENSE TWO BIG POINTS

Latter Essential to Save Industries of United States, Says Hughes in San Francisco. San Francisco, Aug. 18.—Charles E. Hughes, republican nominee for president, reached his farthest west here today. Before three audiences in this city he spoke of dominant Americanism, preparedness and his belief in the need for a protective tariff. Enroute here, he spoke briefly several times, but not enough to tire his throat. Mr. Hughes reached San Francisco at 1 o’clock, went to his hotel, through crowds, which applauded him along the way, held a reception shortly afterward and made the first of his addresses before the Union League Club at 3 o’clock. He hurried back to the hotel and there addressed a meeting of women voters. Tonight he addressed a mass meeting in the Civic auditorium, which was presided ovri- by William H. Crocker, republican national committeeman from California. Before the addresses Mr. Hughes conferred with republican and progressive leaders in the interest of party harmony. The nominee confined his suggestions to a plea for co-operation among republicans and progressives. In so doing, Mr. Hughes said that he did not propose to interfere in the state’s local affairs, Out that he wanted all elements of both these parties to work together in the interests of the national ticket.— ——

John Summers Arrested for Joy Riding at Lafayette.

With three white women under arrest, ’ Constable B. W. Orbegust on Wednesday night was scouring the city for two negroes and a white man wanted for joy riding in Mayor Thos. Bauer’s automobile without the owner’s consent. Those arrested were Magdalena Haaga, Conlrena Collins and Mrs. Lulu Zust, who is said to have been a domestic at the city executive’s home at one time. The men sought were Ed Davis, n.gor chauffeur for Mr. Bauer, Matthew Russell, another negro, and John Summers, Columbia street saloon keeper. Affidavits charging the use of a m,otor vehicle without the owner’s consent were filed against the sextet in Justice of the Peace Tankersley’s court late Wednesday afternoon, and the arrests followed. It is said that Davis, in company with the Collins girl, and Summers, accompanied by Mrs. Zust, “borrowed” the mayor’s Haynes automobile while the executive was out of the city recently, and motored to Michigan City, where they spent one night and returned the next day. The other pair are alleged to have participated in other joy rides in the mayor’s automobile. Davis was discharged when it was discovered that the machine had been used and damaged. It is probable that no hearing will be held until all the parties are under arrest, it was said Wednesday Jght.—Lafayette Journal.

Perhaps, that is true. At any rate, the Bryan influence will not be sufficient to win this election for Wilson.

Winona Conference Opens This Week at Winona Lake.

Winona Lake, Ind., August 18.—The religious bodies of this country are for military preparedness, if the experience of the Rev. Dr. John A. Marquis, of Des Moines, la., moderator of the Presbyterian general assembly, is to be taken as a criterion. Dr. Marquis spoke today at the opening session of the Interdenomina.tional Bible conference. Announcement of extensive improvements at Winona was made by the Rev. Dr. Sol C. Dickey, director of the Bible conference. These improvements include ti e construction of a new tabernacle, seating 10,000; the building of an interdenominational missionary building, to cost at least $5,000, and the building of a new Bethany hall and athletic grounds for the young women.

She Did Not Carry Out Threat to Commit Murder.

Had Mrs. Frank Dennis, of Water Valey, carried out her threat to cut Mrs. Edwin Moore’s head off with a hoe Mrs. Moore would now have been a corpse, but she did not, and Mi's. Moore was alive yesterday, and came to Lowell and swore out a warrant for Mrs. Denis, charging her with threatening to cut off her head with a hoe and calling her vile names. Deputy Sheriff Jacob Loesch, of Shelby, brought the prisoner before Judge Weaver at Lowell yesterday morning and the judge fined her $3 and costs. Mrs. Dennis immediately swore out a warrant for Mrs. Moore and she will be brought to Lowell today to answer to the charge of provoking an assault. It is an old sued betwen the two women and it breaks out fresh every few months.

Road Heads Consider President’s Proposal-to Avert Big Strike.

Wilson’s plan for settlement of the threatened nation-wide railroad strike was accepted today by the representatives of the employes and taken under consideration by the officials of the roads, with many indications that they would reject it tomorrow. The word came from the managers, tonight, however, that they had arrived at no definite decision. With the situation apparently at a deadlock, the only hope in the situation lay in reports that the railroad officials might sugest a counter proposal, forming the basis of a settlement, or that one side or the other might recede from its present position. *

Thirty-one presidents and ranking officials of the great railroads received from the president this afternoon his plan for the adoption of an eight-hour day, regular pro rata pay for overtime and creation of a federal commission to investigate collateral issues. They told him they would like to consider the question and would report back tomorrow with the committee of managers which has been conducting negotiations. At the same time the general committee of 640 representatives of the employes were approving th president’s plan by a large majority and soon after the railroad officials left the white house the for heads of the railroad brotherhoods delivered to the president a letter notifying him jf the vote. The employes’ committee will remain here at the president’s call.
