LIFE PRESERVERS~
 NINE YEARS OLD
Council for General SIocum Admit Damagi 1g Evidence
NO INSPECTION FOR YEAR
Fire Equipment of II-Fated Vessel First Used on Sister Ship Grand Republic-Nearly Nine Hun-
 dred Bodies Recovered.

New York, June 22.-That the i'll fated steamer General Slocum had no life pre- servers aboard less than nine years old. was admitted by counsel of the Knicker- booker Steamship company at the inquest held today, Miss Hall, the bookkeeper of the company, had testified concerning several bills for preservers in which she had erased the name Grand Republic" ]" the sister ship of the Slocum and substi- tuted that of the latter. Notwithstanding this, counsel for the company said they would make the admission as to the age of the belts, as they were unable to prove to the contrary Evidence was also brought out that the United States in- spectors did not examine the fire hose, and sandpipes, and that the preservers were not in good shape.
 The Rev. George Schultz of Erie, Pa. who was on the steamer. said he attempt ed to put on life belt, but that the strap broke and he threw it away as useless.
 Benjamin F. Conkling, chief engineer of the Slocum said there had been no fire inspector on the steamer that year and that the United States inspectors had not tested the fire hose. Conkling said the equipment of the Slocum com pared favorably with that of any excur- sion boat in the harbor.
 Although admitting that he had general supervision over the Slocum Capt John A. Pease commander of the Grand Re- public. denied responsibility for the fire fighting apparatus and life preservers of the burned vessel. He said Captain Van scnaick should have examined them. He examined some of the preservers and found them stuffed with good cork and from personal observation knew that the life boats were in working order.
 Although a week has elapsed since the steamer went to destruction on North Brothers island, the bodies of it's victims continue to be found in the waters ad- jacent to the scene of the disaster. Today thirty-seven bodies came to the surface, making the tota, number recovered SS3
 Of these ITS have been identified Despite the fact that the police are bending every energy towards getting complete list of those who went on the ill-fated excur- sion, definite figures as to the number missing cannot be given From present indications, however, 1t is apparent that the death roll will total nearly thou Eand.
 Tomorrow nearly 100 policemen who speak German will begin house to -.ouse canvas for the purpose or verifying the list of missing.

to the sense of the house republican lead CTS naturally caused surprise here.
 The crumpacker investigation resolution having been inserted in the republican national platform there is now nothing to expect from the next congress, if not the next session, of the present congress but partisan investigation and an att tempt to pass through congress a bill reducing the south's representation.
 Representative Crumpacker has been confident from the adjournment of con- gress that he would be able to get into the republican platform an indorsement Of his views.
 As the platform was written by Senator Lodge under the direction of the Presi- dent 1t is of course certain that the Pres ident himself was willing reception of the suggestion of Representative Crum- packer Democrats generally do not be- leve the negro plank will gain the repub- lcan party any votes
 The party already has soidly behind it the negro vote of the country. The conservative vote is more likely to be driven to me democrats by a negro plank of the Crumpacker order.
 These days business men of the north are largely interested in southern prop erty and with the southern people are opposed to sectional legislation of the drastic sort contemplated by the Crum- packer plank.

Battle Is Expected.

St Petersburg, June 22.-The immnence of a battle in the northern part of the I.iao Tung peninsula is admitted by the war office and Is indicated succinctiy in today's dispatches from the Associated Press correspondent at Ldaao Yang kat Ping and other points on the railroad
 The week of skirmishing around Stu Yen retarded General KuroHs opera tions. permitting General Stakelberg 10 reach Kai Ping, the rear guard, slowly falling back on Senuchen before the Jap anese advance.
 Meanwhile laarge forces are hurrying south from Liao Yang to check both Gen eral Oku and General Kuroki.
 It is believed here that General kuro- pathnNs object Is to prevent a juncture of the Japanese armies. On the other hand the aim of the Japanese apparently Is to drive the Russians out of the Llao Tung peninsula preparatory to march on Liao Yang.
 The approach of the rainy season will more than likely precipitate matters.
 Nothing is known officially of the re- ported occupation of Haiung Tai Cheng CIsi Ung Tao Chonz or Si Yong Cheng) by the Japanese. If the report should be correct, 1t agrees substantially witht the Japanese plan of advance as 1t is under stood here but 1t indicates that the Jap anese outposts are further forward than Russian advices indicate.

FARMING" ALLOWED
 AND YET IT ISN'T
BASEBALL coMMIS- SION MAKES IMPORTANT RUL- ING IN REGARD TO PLAYERS
 BOUND TO THE MINOR LEAGUES

Chicago, June 22.-From a decision reached by the members of the National Baseball commission at a meeting here today it would seem that the rule in the national agreement adopted at the peace conference between the members of the two major leagues prohibiting the farm ing of players to minor league Is q mis- homer. At today's meeting the commits sion took under consideration the case of player Morarty. who was loaned by the Chicago National League club to Fall River with the understanding that he was to be returned at specified time and the decision reached twas that Morarity still belonged to Chicago, and could be claimed by the latter club. After the Morarity decision had been reached Chair man Hermann said
 Tt will not be necessary to make any changes in the wording of the agreement against the loanlng of players by the major league to the smaller leagues. The question was was it farming to loan a valuable player to minor league with the understanding with the club that such player was to be returned to the major league when wanted?
 "The decision in the Morarity case does not mean that we will return to farm ing, as that term was known in days gone by. Some modified form of the old practice had to inaugurated, for it was too much to suppose that a. major league club was going out after youngsters pay ing big money for them only to lose all claim to them should they prove not quite readysfor the big leagues; so it was decided to establish a precedent in the Morarity~ case by which all the clubs in both major leagues could go by in the disposal of their surplus players
 No other business of importance was transacted at todays meeting
 All the members of the commission, Chairman Herman, President Pulliam of the National League. President John son of the American League and Secre- tary Bruce were present at the confer ence today

NEGRO PLANK w REPUBLICAN
 PLATFORM A GREET SURPRISE

where there Is large negro population, the effect of the plank Is really beneficial to the democratic party as 1t undoubt- edy raises race issue.
 A special from Chicago to a republican newspaper says in reference to the plank: This declaration. 1t Is confidently be- leved, will be followed by thorough in- vestigation by congress-.
 That investigation may not begin next winter, because then the short session would give little time for concluding any legislation. It is more likely to be pro posed and commenced early in the Fifty rinth session.
 The plank is especially acceptable to the colored men of the south. who have waged a warfare on the lilly whites" of the south
 Their defeat of the lilly white move ment in Louisiana has encouraged them to carry their opposition into all other states wherein the future delegates to the convention are elected after any ignor- ing of the colored element in the party.
 Negroes Are Encouraged.
 The adoption of the suffrage plank in the convention which is assured from the action of the committee still further en- courages the coiored men here with the idea that the day is not far distant when they will be able to vote all over the south and to have their votes counted.
 The positive stamp of disapprovas placed on methods of disfranchisrng eolored men of the south has done much to encour- age republican politicians from that sec lion of the country who will return home feeling that their party Is back oi them in their fight for the right of suffrage

MINNESOTA GIVES
 HEARST GOOD VOTE
HE CAPTURES TEMPORARY OR GANlZATION, BUT SPEECH BY LIND TURNS MANY DELEGATES TO CONSERVATIVES.

Duluth, Minn. June 22.-The Hearst forces captured the temporary organiza- tion of the state democratic convention and it Is expected they will be strong enough to instruct the delegation for their candidate. But tonight the anti-Hearst forces put vigorous fight with better re- suits. The anti-Hearst element are be- lieved to favor the candidacy of Judge Parker of New York, but maintained that all they sought was to send an un- Instructed delegation to the national con- vention.
 The convention was called to order al il O clock this morning, each side nominat- ing a candidate for temporary chairman. The Hearst people named Major J. M. Bowlers of Minneapolis, while C. D. o Brien of St. Paul was the choice of the anti-Hearst contingent The roll cali showed Bowler's election by a vote of 457 to 407. After the election of a tenn porary chairman adjournment was taken until 7:30 this afternoon, when the con- test was renewed.
 F or a time 1t looked as If Hearst senti- ment would rule in everything and it doubtless would have done so had it not been for a speech of Congressman Joe Lind, who turned a crowd of excited dele gates who clamored for an instructed delegation Into one which expressed It. self when the vote came as opposed to instructing for Hearst or any other man. The anti-Hearst men secured three of the four delegates at large, and will get an even break of the district delegates. The delegates at large are John Lind of Minneapolis, L. A. Rosing of Cannon Falls, Fl. L. Buck of Wynona and c. D.. O Brien of St. Paul.
 The resolutions declare for a re-affrm- stion of the Kansas City platform and laud William J. Bryan as the greatest statesman of the day.

 Three Japanese wounded died while be- ing brought to port. There are nine wounded Japanese in the hospital and all aref carefully attended. Eighty pris- oners have been sent inland.
 The appearance of the Russian squad ron off the Japanese coast caused pan ic. Many wireless messages from the shore batteries warning the inhabitants of the presence of the squadron, were in tercepted by the cruisers.
 The commander of a Russian torpedo boat set the captain of Japanese sailing ship ashore with his visiting card. and letter to the governor of Hakodate, ex- crslng himself for not calling personally, and saying that he would return.

NOT FOR JUDGE PARKER.
Democrats of North Carolina Meet In
 Greensboro Today

Raleigh, N. C., June 22.-The demo- cratic state convention meets .n Greensboro tomorrow. Judging from the views of mea high in the councils of the party, instructions for Parker are not very likely, not because the delegates do not favor him for Presi- dent, but because instructions are con- trary to precedent in the democratic conventions in .is state.
 There are four men in the race for governor, Maj. c. NJ Stedman, Hon. R. B. Glenn, Gen. 1neo F. Davidson and w. D. Turner, lieutenant governor of the state. Glenn and Steadman are admittedly the strongest of these can. didates, but it is believed by many that in the stubborn fight promised be- tween them one of the old candidates or dark horse may be chosen.

" the many remarhdoie pidhhs in the republican national platform pro- mulgated in Chicago today caused more interest among the democrats in Wash ington that that demanding an investiga- tion by congress of the election laws of the southern states anc the proposition to cut down congressional representation
 The idea is exactly the same as that advocated by Representative Crum- packer during the last three congresses
 He has several times introduced a resolution calling upon the speaker to appoint a select committee which was to visit the states in ques- ton and have power to subpoena witnesses examine them under oath and send for all evidence necessary for full investigation. From the very beginning Crumpacker has been turned down on his proposition, the house leaders from Speaker Cannon down agreeing that the present is no time for dragging into con- gress partisan sectional legislation di- rected against the southern states only second to the outrageous force bill de- feated by Senator German.
