SIX B ABIESBORN
 ON OCEAN LINER
TRlPLETS, TWINS AND SINGLES ADD TO THE CARES OF THE SHIP SURGEON DURING VOYAGE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.

New York, July 4.-Six robust babes were added to the passenger compliment of the North German Lloyd liner Groser Kurfuerst on the voyage from Bremen, which entered port yesterday. The Kur- fuerst was hardly two days out of Bre- men when pr. Starks, the ships physi- cian was summoned to the steerage at midnight and before daylight announced that Mrs Leah Polintsky had become the mother of triplets, two girls and d bay. Three days later the doctor was called to the second cabin to attend Mrs. A. Gotham. who brought into the world two baby girls.
 On Sunday night, while Dr. Starks and the second officer sat smoking together, the surgeon remarked that he hoped there would be no more births before the ship docked The words were hardly uttered when a stewards call came hurriedly aloft and announced that another birth was imminent.
 This time 1t was in the first cabin. and Mrs. Friedenberg added the sixth baby to the record list of births on the Kur- fuerst. Mrs. Friedenberg's husband came from Seattle to meet the steamer and was overjoyed when he boarded the ship and found another heir.

TROUBLE AHEAD
 FOR TAFT IN OHIO
THE WAR SECRETARY MAY GET NORTH CAROLIANA DELEGA- TON, BUT FoRAkER WILL PROB ABLY LAND IN OHIO.

Washington, July 4.-(Special )-While the North Carolina republicans are billed to endorse Secretary Taft for the repub- hcan presidential nomination next Tues day, the big Secretary's friends only wish that they had as easy sailing in their own state, Ohio. The Ohio republi- can convention meets shortly and 1t is de- clared that the organization which con trols it is likely to make no reference to Taft, but to endorse Senator Foraker.
 Among a number of leading Ohio re- publcans there is a desire for Taft's political blood In revenge for what he did in Ohio at the last election, when through his ringing Cincinnati speech it is claimed that the democrats elected their governor. With his own state against him 1t is argued by many that Taft is eliminated from the race.
 However, Cleveland always managed to win with his state against him and even if Ohio goes for Foraker the war sec- retary's supporters think their candi- date may do the same thing. In the meantime Vice President Fairbanks is a native of Ohio and Is very strong in that state. A mixup in the national con yention may turn the delegates of Ohio to him.

 MT. Reid, in responding to Sir w. B. Richmond's graceful proposal of his health, said with refrence to MT. Bryan:
 Bryan Is Humorous.
 At home as citizen l have openly and squarely opposed him at every stage of his conspicuous career. l am reason ably sure that when l return home I shall continue to do the same. I believe to- night he is as well satisfied as l am, though by different reasoning. that the country we both love and try to serve, has not been ruined by its gold abroad. As the official representative of the American people without distinction as to party, I am glad to welcome him here as a typical American whose whole life has been lived in the daylight, and one whom such great host of my country men have long trusted and honored.'
 MT Bryan rising, amid laughter and cheers, said:
 'The temptation to make a political speech is strong Within me. I have not had a chance to do so for ten months. However will restrain myself. With reference to the ambassadors remarks on gold, I wish to say that when I sec the progress my country has made. walk ing on one leg I wonder what it would have done walking on two legs. It is pleasing to testify that the ambassador not only has fought me, but that he has done 1t we'll No American rejoices more than I that he is three thousand miles from his base.
