Washington, Oct. 4. Continued im
provement was recorded ia Bear Ad
miral Grayson's night bulletin, which
declared President Wilson bad passed a
more encouraging day, although the im
provement was not decisive. The bulle
tin issued at 10:30 p. m. was as follows:
"The President hss paased a more
encouraging day. The improvement is
slight but not decisive."
Dr. Grayson indicated that he , felt
much encouraged by the day's progress.
The day was oppressively hot aad the
fact that the President had more than
held his own, despite hia respiratory
affliction resulting from influents was
taken at a hopeful sign.
President Wilson's condition contin
ued slowly to improve today, and his
physicians said he was regaining some
if the ground lost in Thursday's un
favorable turn of his illness.
Although not modifying- his descrip
tion, of the President as "a very sick
man," Dr. Grayson diagnosed the pa-
v.int a condition today as mora favor
able," and indicated that hia recupera
tive powers sow had the upper hand.
Coed Nalght a Heat.
A good night's rest, one of the few
Mr. Wilson has been ablatio enjoy since
his illness began, was credited with aid
ins materially in restoring strength and
cheerfulness. During the day the Presi
dent was able to get additional rest, but
he waa keot in bad and waa under al
most eoatjaual observation by hia phy
sicians. " -
The eoeeialists called ft by Dr. Gray
eon again made a thorough examination
and consulted for. an hour over the
patient a condition. ' They mads ae sa
, aooaeeanent, hut indicated geaeral eat-
iafaetion with the progresa being made.

!, J Absolute Qaiet Enforced.
M No one except members of the family
were permitted to see the President,
however, and it was said' that a few
days at least, therule of absolute tauiet
. will be enforced rigidly. Hope virtu
ally waa abandoned that he would be
able to take any active part in the In
dustrial and Labor Conference called
by him, but some White House officials
thought he might be permitted, should
his condition continue to improve, to
give a few minutes a day to important
matters likely to be ready for hia sag-
nture soon. ;
Among; the billa which may be seat
to the White House by Congress dur

London, Oct. 4. (By The Associated
Press.) There wa at least a slight rift.
in the strike ato-.m clouds tonight. The
country today bad reconciled itself to
the belief that there was an irrecon
cilable break between the govern ment
and the anions in consequence of the
absolute failore ef yesterday's confer
ence between the cabinet aad ths trsde
union conciliation committee la an ef
fort to reach a basis whereby negotia
tions with the railway workers could
bs reopened,
Two unheralded events tonight gavs
rise to a more optimistic feeling in
both government and labor eireles re
tarding the possibilities of a settle
ment. Briefly the eoneilisilon' commit
tee again unexpectedly visited Downing
street and after a conference with An
drew Bonar Law,, repaired immediately
to the executive of the national union
of railway men, --.
At a late hour it - was announced
that James H...Tliomaasere-
tary of the union, aad ' the railway
delegates, would see Premier Lloyd
George tomorrow, after having absented
themselves from the mediation councils
for several days.
Ths visit of ths conciliation committee
to Downintfkitreet, bad not been looked
for. The delegates were eloaeted with
Mr. Bonar Law for moss than an hour
and at the end of which time it was an
nounced that the interview had been
adjourned until tomorrow.
The nature of the conference wis not
divulged, but the newspaper men wait
ing outside the Premier's residence
noted tbst the members of the commit
tee seemed mors ..cheerful when they
left. Apparently progress waa made
by Mr. Bonar Law and ths committee
as ths visit of ths failwsy delegates
tomorrow would seem to be dependent
upon some new angle which has arisen.
After the meeting between the rail
way men's executive and the concilia
tion committee, Arthur Henderson ad
mitted to ths reporters that the com
mittee had come from Downing street
to report progress to the union. Mr.
Thomas himself announced that he and
ths railway delegates would see the
premier tomorrow. ,

garding the likelihood of a settlement,

, (Special Leased Wire.)
x Washington, D. ., Oct. 4. republi
can plans to capture North Carolina in
the 1920 election are partially unveiled
in letters that are being sent by John
Motley Morehead, of Charlotte, to Re
publicans in the State. One of the
latest mandates to leave the national
committeeman's office, a copy of which
has been received by Senator Lee 8.
Overman, is an injunction to ths faith
to "get a line" oa alf the cotton mill
owners in North Carolina.
'Organ at Washington.
Aaother angle oa the kind of cam
paign the Republicans are planning is
contained In a. circular that accom
panies ths letter asking about the mill
owners and other employers. This is
an appeal to Q. O, P. followers ia the
State to boost the subscription list of
the National Bepubliean, a pronounced
partisan organ' published here. Ar
rangements have beea made through
the leaders for the national organ to
carry a apeeial North Carolina page.
Such well known Republican names ss
Colonel Harry Skinner, of Greenville;
0. A. Reynolds, of Winston-Salem; J.
J. . Jenkins, of ' Asheville; George
Pritehard, of Marshall; Jaks Newell,
of Charlotte; Clarence Pugh, of Elisa

tributors.' Morehead a name is also on
ths list but that ef either Marios But
ler, Frank lianey, or E. C. Duncan, is
sonaplcjousiy absent.
- - t ' Ahost The Min Owners.
ths most interesting thing about this
latest turn la Republican circles is the
anxiety of Mr. Morehead, as reflected
most poignantly ia his letter, about the
mill owners. Demoeratio leaders1
are pausing to wonder If ths national
committeeman ia trying to play both
ends against ths middle for there
seems to be little room left to doubt
the purpose of the Butler ssd Alexan
der combination. Certainly, . if Dr,
Alexander eteps to the whip that Mr,
ouiier win nnany track, there is ne
question about the road one part ef the
organisation, headed by the Meeklea-
ourg man, wiU travel.
But why is Morehead. after .the mill
owners! He is one of the number him
self, and in the multiple spindle mills
he controls there are many operatives,
Marvin Bitch has recently gotten them
ergsnized, at least some of them. The
operatives far outnumber the owners,
cut tus statement that eae exceeds thi
other doesn't sound so foolish in the
lixht of Mr. Morehesd's eoneern about
the heads of the mills.
Attempts te Organise Big Business.
Maybe it ia a renewal of former at
tempts to organize big business in
North Carolina. Or maybe Mr. Morehead
ai.ticif.ted that the textile workers sre
going to be a factor ia the next sltetioa

..His Second Game
' Chicago, Oct. 4. Cincinnati now
seeds but two more games to bring
the world's championship flag to the
banks of the Ohio. Chief Moran's rsd
tegged National leaguers today defeat
ed the Chicago White Sox ia ths fourth
game oMhe series 8 to 0.
The path ahead of the Americas
Leaguers is strewn with rocks, broken
glass and sown with Canada thistles in
ths view of followers of the game for
they must win four of tha remaining
games to win the bunting, snd dsrs
only lose two to end the series in fsvor
of the Beds snd ths opinion of unpre
judiced persons it ought to bs very
easy to drop a brace to a club going
like the Beds hsve been.
Today's defest was a blow to ths lo
cals for they had hoped that as ths -Beds
had won two atraight gamee on
their home grounds, the Sox would do
like wise. The three to nothing win
of the locals yesterday roused en
thusissm to a high pitch, and the at
tendance today, 34,363, heaviest of ths
series, attests the aspirations of ths
Chiengoans.
Eddie Cicotte, who wss drives out
of the box in the opening game at Cin
cinnati where he suffered the most
humiliating defeat of his career, elected
to retrieve his renown today, but while
be held the Beds to five hits and issued
no passes, two of those hits came in one
inning and he himself in that Inning
bunched - two ' errors which proved
costly.
Like Fountains la Sahara.
The .regular order of things brought
Jim Biag into the pitcher's box for ths
Beds, but the faet that he allowed but
tbres hits which were aa-scattered as
soda foutaains ' in the Sahars, was
somewhat marred by ths fact that he
passed three Bos batsmen ea wide ones
snd hit tws others. Ths fielding bsck
ef him. wns nothing short ef superb.
Every Bed wss en., tip toe, vigorous,
confident and aggressive. They brought
down long hard, files in a wsy to dis-
courage all opposition and fielded the
ball with the greatest dash and bril-
ianey. . This waupslcularlyjipticejt
able In the second and third innings,,
when it was a question whether ths big
right bander would collide with the
aviator who wss performing above or
join the list of baseball idols which .
G.irry Hermann is offering his loyal -following
ia Cincinnati. In the opin
ion of those who claim to be sbls to
read the psychic reflexes of diamond
athletes that aviator will lead a lone
some life if he wsits for Bing.
Cool Breeses Cheer Crowd.
The dny had been hot up to tha very
moment that the announcer, having
parked himself on second - baas - an
nounced with marked, formality that
Mister-NaWinf-Mieter-j-Quigley, Mister .
Evans and Mr. Bigler would do the '
umpiring and a vendor was shouting
facetiously that "you eouldnt tell the
umpires without a program," but st
that moment as if someone had opened
sn ice box, there was a cold blast which
remained throughout the rest of tha
day, snd spectators quickly hustled .

collars. -The-bleacherites-tors paper

half the Box appeared more threat

Jackson, who regards hairpins as ths
ultimate la bringing good luck, carried
four new ones as he came to. bat. and
the hairpins delivered a clean double
to center. Felsch sent him to third by
the sacrifice route, snd ths stands went
wild with delight. Gsndil, however, re

one of two things he either became
wild or played a bit of the most daring '
strategy, 'for he walked both Bisberg

was sheer banditry. Collins wss hit by
