BRITISH STILL PROGRESS WEST
GREAT STRIKE PARADE STIRS GOTHAM WORKERS
Haig Drives Around
German Position Combles
LONDON, Sept. 14.—The most
Important operations today were
north of Ginchy where the British
made still further progress accord
ing to the reports now received
from the British field headquarters.
The British forces are co-operating
with the French encircling Combes
where the situation of the German
troops in occupation is becoming
precarious.
Haig also reports that there was
yesterday made a successful raid
upon Souchez.
PARIS, Sept. 14.—The French
troops are continuing their offensive
in the Verdun sector taking several
hundred yards of trenches along the
Thiaumont front where the fighting
is heavy, the Germans offering a
dogged resistance.
LONDON, Sept. 14.—The Germans
began an artillery bombardment ot
the British lines in Flanders, where
they have been quiet for so long
Aairmen report however that the
Germans have recently been moving
men up into this section and it is
not impossible, they may assume the
offensive before the Autumn rains
soon begin.
The Germans however cannot
spare enough men for any strong
offensive on the east or west.
BERLIN, Sept. 14.— The situa
tion on t{ie west'front is unchanged
The British made slight gains tod^iy.

ROOSEVELT PEDDLES HIS
BUNCOMBE TO POINDEXTER
NEW YORK. Sept. 14.—Ex-Pre
sident Roosevelt sent a wire of con
gratulation to Poindexter today and
sees in Poindexter's strong vote a
national victory for Hughes. More
importance would be attachable to
this telegram if it were not for the
fact that the Hughes men almost
all supported Humphreys.
It is notorious that the Washing
ton progresives who stayed with the
primaries to vote for Poindexter
will cast their ballot for the Wilson
electors.
Poindexter‘s plurality is increas
ing throughout the state. His de
feat of Humphreys is most complete
and convincing.
SEATTLE, Sept. 14.—That Lang
don may defeat Miler is now quite
possible with three hundred and five
precincts counted the vote stands
Langdon 15,030, Miller 15,250.
Ballaine carried his home University
precincts by a majority of 1570.
SEATTLE, Sept. 14.—The eastern
section of the state lined up solid
against Humpreys who in many pre
cints across the Cascades did not
get a vote. Former republican
leaders who warred upon Poin
dexter as a former insurgent se
cured a larger vote for Poindexter
because of that, many progressives
who are ready to support the demo
cratic candidate remaining *n the
field to send Poindexter back to the
Senate. Humpreys is greatly disap
pointed as his friends were con
fident.

DENVER, Col., Sept. 14.—Nichol
son Supporters although the figures
arriving are against them refuse to
concede the defeat of their man.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.4—The re
sults of the primary election sho*
that the coming natiorial campaign
will 'be the closest o‘n reco'rd. The
personal factor mitered so largely
into state politics at the primaries,
however, that they are by no means
a fair criterion. Democratic papers
canvassing the "vote dwell on some
of their large majorities and cite
them in derision as specimens or
the Republican landslide. On the
other hand tbe weakness of some
well known democrats in states
where at majority over the vote wist
for republicans was confidently ex
pected as in Colorado is distinctly
surprising to many republicans who
had not expected such a victory.
The election, to be judged by the
primary, is just as uncertain as ever
and it is any one’s victory as far as
the figures prove anything.

Russia and Japan
Assure Open Door
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 14.—
Both the governments of Russia
and Japan have assured the United
States government that there is no
thing in the treaty drawn up be
tween the two nations which affects
the status of the open door doctrine
of the United States.
Today therefore, the representa
tives of both Russia and Japan
formally assured the United States
government that the open door po
licy in China would continue, and
that without let or hinderance
from the two treaty powers. The
Empires of Russia and Japan both
being contiguous to China, entered
upon an agreement to mutually
protect those interests which arose
from such contiguity of possession
and to maintain peaceful relations
on the subject matter of the treaty
between the two high signatory
powers.
These assurances are being ac
cepted In good faith by the United
States government and it is stated
this evening that the investigation
called for by a Congressional resolu
tion will be tabled indefinitely, at
least until the matter is made the
subject of another Congressional in
iiuiry.
This report is giving anti-adminis
tration papers the cue fon another
attack upon the Wilson government
as too easily satisfied by the repre
sentations of Japan and Russia.
HUGHES ALARMED BY
RESULTS GF PRIMARIES
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.— It is
known that Charles Evans Hughes
regards the results of the primary
elections throughout the nation with
anything but satisfaction and for
this reason will make another tour.
It is an open secret that campaign
managers in the Middle West have
been sending in reports which by
no means allay the uneasiness which
follows the primary elections.
For these reasons no surprise is
felt in the announcement being
made that Hughes would cover
Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Hughes is to make a determined
hid for the Irish and the German
vote according to latest reports.
SPOKANE, Sept. 1.4—Hanly, the
nominee for the prohibitionists .is
also going after Wilson's scalp in
a harmless sort of way. In an ad
dress delivered here last night Haniy
charged that Wilson is playing po
litics with the suffragettes, fearing
that he will be defeated. The ad
dress of Haniy was strongly inclined
to favor Hughes, and he has met
with considerable criticism from tho
democrats for this reason.
The political situation is shoving
the war dope from the front pages
of the newspapers.
BILLINGS CONVICTED BY

—Jesse Billings indicted by t:ie
Grand Jury on a dynamite cbuige,

which exploded upon the leaders or

results to many bystanders, is
practically convicted before his trial
by the daily press here, which is

ed.
Today the court room was
packed at Billings’ trial and the
testimony was all of it confined to
showing Billings has an unsatisfac
tory record. There was nothing
brought forward to prove Billings
guilt in any way.
His defending attorney’s objected
strongly to this line of evidence but
it was admitted by the court. It is
believed that having established a
bad record for Billings circumstan
tial evidence will be introduced to
show that he is the man who placed
the bomb in position. ,
Billing is stoutly maintaining his
Innocence, but guilty or innocent,
so strong has the feeling been
worked up aganist him, it is doubt
ful if he will get a fair trial.
He is however ably defended in a
court openly hostile to him.
