SPEECH DEVOTED TO EULOGY Declsres Civil War Chief Wss Embodi ment of True Democrscy.—Receives Gift of Lincoln Farm Association. Hodgenvllle, Ky —President Wilson came to Kentuoky to pay homago to the memory of Lincoln and avoid poli tics but a great crowd gathered from all parts of the atate. cheered him at every appearance and turned hie visit Into a campaign event. The president accepted for the Federal government the log cabin In which Lincoln was born In a speech devoted to an eulogy of the Civil War president. Standing on a temporary pla/tform at the foot of a hill topped by a magnificent granite memorial building housing the Lincoln cabin ho praised Lincoln a» tho emliodiment of democracy. "How eloquent this little house within this shrine Is of the vigor of democracy." exclaimed the president as ho spoke of Lincoln aa exemplifying the American spirit as showing the heights which men of l«wly birth may attain. "We are not worthy to stand here." said he,' "unless we ourselves be in flood and In truth real democrats and servants of mankind, ready to give our very lives for the freedom and Justice and spiritual exaltation of the great nation which shelters and nur turos us. "No more significant memorial could have been proaented to the nation than this. It expresses so much of what la singular and noteworthy In the his tory of the country. It suggests so many of the things that w« prlxe most highly in our life and In our system of government. "We would like to think of men like Lincoln and Washington as typical Americans, but no man can be typical who Is so uniiMttl as these great men were It was typical of American life that It should produce such men with supreme Indifference as to tho mannot In which It produced them, and as rend lly hore In this hut as amidst the lit tie circle of cultivated gentlemen to whom Virginia owed so much In lead ershlp and example And Lincoln nnd Washington wore typical Amortcans In the use they mado of their genius.

CONGRESS PUSSES NEW 8-HOUR LAW ■ILL WHICH AVERTED THREAT ENED STRIKE PABBED HOUSE AND SENATE QUICKLY. FOUR DEMOCRATS VOTE NAY Two In House and Two In Senate Op pose Bill.—Party Vote In Benate But % Majority Republican* Favor VoU In House. Washington.—The threat of a geh eral railroad strike which hung like a pall over the country for a month was lifted when the Senate panned the Adamson bill. Three hours after the senate had passed without amendment the Adam son eight-hour day bill, passed by the house, the heads of the four great railroad employes brotherhoods tele graphed 600 odd code messages to their general chairmen in all parts of the country cancelling the strike order Issued a week ago to take effect Labor Day at 7 o'clock. The legislative expedient to avert the strike was passed In the senate by a vote of 48 to 28 —almost a strict party vote—amid stirring scenes after many Senators, Democrats and Republicans, had fought desperately to amend the measure by provisions designated to prevent industrial disas ters In the future. Some senators, t!|vougtily aroused, declared Cong ress was being coerced Into enactment of legislation that it did not desire, and that It knew would return to plague It In the future. In both houses the measure was signed within a few minutes after the final vote In the senate and It was sent at once to the White House. Officials of the brotherhoods who witnessed the final passage of the bill had announced early In the night that cancellation of the strike would not be ordered until the bill had been signed by tho President and actually had become law. But later they pon ferred, changed their minds and flash ed the code messages signaling to the waiting trainmen of the country through their chairmen, the word that • satisfactory settlement had been •ecured. The bill that stopped the -atrlke pro vldes that after January 1, 1017, eight hour* shall be regarded as a basis of reckoning for a day'* pay of mon engaged In the operation of rail road trains in interstate commerce (excepting roads less than 100 miles long and electric linen); that they shall receive pro rata pay for work In excess of eight hours, and that their rate of compensation shall not be changed pending an investigation tot from six to nine months by a commission to be appointed by the President of the effect of th* eight hour day upon the railroad*. Efforts to amend the bill In th* Senate were futile, the supreme effort to alter it having been led by Senator Underwood, who sought to provide that the Ip{erßtate Commerce Com mission should have power to fix rail road wages and hours for service in the future. This amendment was de feated by a vote of 67 to 14. Railroad officials have declared that the action of Congress will cost thom t60.000.000 a year in Increased wages to tho trainmen. Brotherhood offic ials say the enactment will mean not piore than an annual Increaae of $20,- 000,000. In Congress and among the railroad officials there has existed doubt as to the constitutionality of tho law, but what steps if any may he taken to test this has not been In dicated. Quick action by the brotherhood heads followod the action In the Sen ate. No doubt existed In their minds that President Wilson would sign the bill al soon as It was handed to him. Tho measure embraces virtually all of the President's original proposals to the employes and the railroad heads, although It I* only a part of the leg islative program he took to Congress last Tuesday when his negotiation* had failed. Issuance of the orders of cancella tion followed a meeting of the feur brotherhood heads and thirteen re maining members of their committee of 640. Some opposition to acting be fore the Presldont actually had af fixed his signature was evidence In the meeting, but In the end the 17 voted unanimously to call off the strike Immediately. All of the code messages had been prepared In ad vance and as quickly as the decision was announced clerk* rushed to tele graph office* with arm load* of th* messages. * No two of the more than 600 dis patches were alike. One of them read "It I* reported that a big lire 1* rag ing In Toronto." Another said "There Is danger of your house burning down tomorrow." Even the brotherhoods did not know what all the messages contained, the composition of them having bbeen left to clerk*. Official Hous* Vote. The official vote In the House on the flnal passage of the amended Adam son eight-hour day bill waa: . Ayes 239; nays, 66; present, 6. Two Democrats voted against tho bill and 70 Republicans, and the one Socialist voted tor IL Non* of the Progressive* voted. The re|x>rt« from the Hughes triii across the continent are nil to I lie effect that he it? making an unfavorable impression on the country. The jM-oplo are getting tired of a continuous scold, scold, scold, and they just laugh when he makes a fierce attack on the President. The country will give Mr. Hughes the '"Laugh" in No vember. The leaders of the railroad strike movement reported that "President Wilson is driving us hard." But it is satisfaction to know that he is driving the other side (railioade) equally hard. President Wilson is doing the country a great service in using suoh i\ tremendous pressure to bring the men and the roads to agreement. A tie-up of the roadß would be au unparalleled ca lamity. WILLIAM C. ADAMSON Author of the eight-hour day law. The original text of the provision was as follows: lie It enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Unit ed States of America In Congress as sembled. . Section 1. That beginning Janu ary 1, 1917, eight hours shall In con tracts for labor and service be deem ed a day's work and the measure or standard of a day's work for the pur pose of reckoning the compensation for services of all employes who are now or may hereafter be employed by any common carrier vby railroad, except railroads Independently owned and operated not exceeding 100 miles In length, electric street railroads, and electric interurban railroads. • • • • Section 2. That the President shall appoint a commission of three, which shall observe the operation and effects of the Institution of the eight hour standard work day as above de fined and the facts and conditions af fecting the relations between such common carriers and employes dur ing a period of not less than six months nor more than nine months, In the discretion of the commission and within 30 days thereafter such commission shall report Its findings to the President and Congress. That each member of the commission creat ed under the provisions of this aft shall receive such compensation as may be fixed by the President. The sum of f25,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary be, and hereby is, appropriated out of any money in the United States Treasury. • • Section 3. That pending the report of the commission, herein provided tor, and for a period of 80 days there after, the compensation of railway employes subject to thla act for a standard eight-hour work day shall not be/deduced below the present standard days wage and for all neces sary time In excess of eight hours such employes shall be paid at a rate not less than the pro rata rate for such standard tight-hour work day. Section 4. That any person violat ing any provision of this act Bhall be fined not less thai}, SIOO and not more than SI,OOO, or Imprisoned not to ex ceed one year, or both. Brotherhoods Are Pleased. "The enactment of this piece of leg islation," said A. B. Oarretson, head of the conductors' brotherhood, "giv ing as it does an eight-hour day for every man employed In the operating department of the railroads of this country from the Canadian border to the Oulf and from the Atlantic to the Pacific Is a wondirful thing. It not only affects the brotherhoods and the best paid men who come under their Jurisdiction but It reaches far enough down the line to give the negro rail road worker of the Bouth his chance. "I do not care whether the bill Is signed on Sunday or tome other day, nor does the constlt itlonallty of such an act bother me. If the President sees fit to sign it on that day I'll be willing to accept hit Judgment that the act Is legal." W. O. Leo, head of the trainmen, said: "Of course I am pleased that we have avoided a strlko. We did not want a strike any more than any one in this country, but we had come to a point where If a strike became necessary to win our demands we were willing to go into one. I feel 4bnfldent too that we would have emerged victorious If a strike had 'been necessary. "That situation, however, now Is past. It Is probable, of course, that the railroads will ask for Increased freight rales. If they can show that they are deserving of them the broth erhoods will help obtain them. But unless then can show good cause for advances, of course we will not go to their assistance. "The bill as enacted today does not contain all that ws should have liked to have. We were willing, however, to make sacrifices and we made them. We are willing to abide by the legis lation as passed by Congress." W. 8. Carter and W. S. Stone, heads of the firemen and engineers, respectively, gave oat no statements further than to say they were pleased with the outcome of the negotiations. .All of the brotherhood leaders were Inclined to regard lightly reports that thst railroads would make a determin ed fight on the constitutionality of the eight-hour day. They (eel that the ten-hour day Is a thing o( the past now. regardless o( how the courts may Interpret the Adamson bill. The practical operation of the eight-hour day. they declare, will con vince the public and the railroad* that It waa a step In the right direc tion. The whole country is and has been demanding "preparedness" against war, and I'resident Wil son is proceeding along those lines, and thecostof preparedness as you know is quite a large bill. And now the Republicans are charging extravagance. It is im possible to please ever} - body. "Colonel Bob Ingeraoll ouce re marked," recalled the Kansas City Journal, "If I owned Hell and Texas, I would live in Hell and rent Texas out." Well, one thing's certain, bob isn't living in TexM now. Mrs Amanda Dorcas Hooks of University Station, died recently and bequeathed !fcl.-00 to the Bap tist Orphanage at Thomasvilie ana I&125 to a Baptist church in Or ange county, the amounts being all of her estate.

INTERESTNOWIN BALKANS RUMANIANB "PARTICIPATION HERE 18 CONSIDERED TO BE VERY IMPORTANT. Artillery Active on All Battle Frontl of Europe.—Rumania Armies At tacking Austria.—Hungarian Fbrcei In Carpathians. London. —The whole Interest In the war Is now focused on the Balk ans and on the Qerman Field Marshal von Hlndenburg. Rumania's partici pation Is considered here Important not only from the accession of a fresh army, but from the opportunity It gives the Russian army to extend Its base and to co-operate with Ru mania on Gallclan and Transylvania territory virtually as one army against the Austrlans. Artilleryls active on ajl the battle fronts of Europe but only on the Transylvania-Rumanian border has Infantry been engaged to any extent. Bad weather hampered operatlona In France; the Russians and Austro- Qermans on the eastern line are rest ing as are the Bntenteforces and the armlea of the CentralPewers in Mac edonia, and the Austrlans and Ital ians have yet to renew their desperate fighting of a few weeks ago. Along the whole line of the lower Carpathians, Rumanian armies are reported attacking the Austro-Hun garlan forces. - AUGUST UNFAVORABLE FOR CROP U. 8. REPORT Washington.—ln a statement sum marizing cotton crop conditions the Department of Agriculture said: "August was unfavorable for cot ton In almost all sections of the cot ton belt. In the western section, the crop deteriorated severely In Okla homa and Texas because of extreme drought over large areas, which caus ed the plant to stop fruiting and shed. Weevils damaged the crop consider ably in Eastern and Southern Texas, Southern Arkansas, Western Florida and Southwestern Georgia and disas trously In Mississippi, Alabama and portions of Louisiana. "Much of the crop In Southern Mississippi and Alabama, because of rain and weevil damage, will require from 10 to 20 acres of land to pro duce a bale of cotton. In the Car ollnas and Georgia hot sunshine fol lowing the July rain on the sappy plant caused much shedding. "Lack of fertlllxer which was leached from the soil by the July rain or withdrawn by grass and weeds, Is shown by the appearance of the plant which seems to have reached matur ity with a small stalk.

General Funs ton was dlreoted to return three regiment* from New York, two from New Jer sey, two from Illinois, two from Mis souri and one each from California, Oregon, Washington and Louisiana. Secretary Baker announced the or der after a conference with President Wilson at the White House. The De partment had already ordered to their home stations, 6,000 regular coast artil lerymen who have been serving as In fantry on the border. The secretary's statement said: "In Tlew of the fact that substantial ly this number of troops who have not done patrol duty on tbe border are now on their way there, It Is felt that this number can be spared. In a few days If transportation facilities remain undisturbed, the department Intends to order home some more regiments and possibly to replace them with troops now In their mobilization camps In the several states." Regiments to be sent home were not designed by number, and It Is under stood that their selection Is loft to Gen. Funeton. Department officials think there Is ample force on the border now to In sure proper protection and with the Immediate gravity of the Mexican situ ation constantly lessening It is not con sidered necessary to strengthen Gen eral Funston's command. The policy now is to give all of the state troofrs called Into the Federal service oppor tunity to see service on war footing along the international line. BENATE WOULD EXEMPT INBURANCE TRUBT FUNDS.
