LACK OF VIBRATION.
A Marked Feature of the Turbine
Steamer Lusitania.

New York, Sept 9.-Dispatches by
wireless telegraph from the steamer
Lusitania, one of the giant ships That
is expected to break records in making
the trip between England and the Uni
ted States and return, give some details
how the steamer is acting her first
voyage. The wireless message says:
1.-THE Lusitania Travelled at no great
pace at first but the absence of vibra-
ton was so noticeable that it made the
passengers believe that they were din
ing in hotel After dinner the pace
was increased. The electric lifts on
board the ship were busy until late
hour Saturday night conveying people
swiftly up and down between the five
decks.
While hundreds were exploring and
admiring the comforts of the ship
groups of Cunard directors, ship ex-
perts and naval architects gathered in
the smoking room and earnestly dis
cussed the prospects of the voyage. The
Lucania which left Liverpool four hours
ahead of US, was overtaken and passed
at 40 Sunday morning. She had half
an hour the start of US leaving Queens
town Two hours after we left
Queenstown the Lucania was still
ahead at o'clock Sunday night, she
was about Is to 20 miles astern of us. A
fog caused the Lusitania to slacken
down her speed which greatly disap-
pointed the passengers. There were oc-
casional patches of brightness during
which the pace was increased
Another dispatch sent at o'clock
Sunday night reported that the ship
was 100 miles from Queenstown. The
weather was clear it was announced
and the vessel was ploughing ahead at
great speed. 1.-The Lucania is believed
to be near US. The dispatch continued,
but her position is not specified. She
has not been sighted since dinner time.
The passengers are lining the sides to
catch glimpse of her if possible. The
progress of the Lusitania is beautifully
smooth
Later dispatches reported that the
Lusitania had passed the Lucania.

GROSSCUP REVERSED.
Justice Brewer Decides in Favor of
Chicago Traction Company.

Chicago, Sept 9.-The order re-
Gently entered by Judge Grosscup in
the United States circuit court direct
ing the receivers Of the Union Trac-
ton Company, which operates the
street car systems on the north and
west sides of the city, to turn these
properties over to a new corporation
called the Chicago Railways company,
for twenty years, has been reversed by
the United States court OF appeals.
The decision remands the case to
the United States circuit court, and
leaves the traction situation where it
was before the formation of the Chi
cagO Railways company. 1t was the
opinion of the court of appeals that
Judge Grosscup had no power to give
possession to the Chicago Railways
company without the consent of the
bondholders and stockholders of the
underlying companies. The decision
declares that the only manner in
which tho Chicago Railways company
can secure possession of the action
properties is through negotiations
with the stockholders and the bond
holders.
In the opinion of Justice Brewer, of
the United States supreme court, who
read the decision, the ordinance Civ
ing the Chicago Railways company
the right to operate these roads was
fair and should have been put in
operation. The court held, however.
that the wisdom of this ordinance, or
even public necessity from a business
point of view, could not be taken into
consideration, as the interests of the
private property holders We're the
paramount points at issue.
The action taken by the court of APP
peaIs hinged entirely on the question
of jurisdiction. The power of Judge
Grosscup to issue the order in ques-
ton was the only act assailed.
AS the ordinance of the Chicago
Railways company expires by limita-
ton September IA, it will be impossi-
BILE for the company to obtain possess
sion of the properties by that time.
The entire situation, therefore, re-
verts to the period when the proper
ties were held by receivers, and be-
fore the unification of the North and
West side lines was undertaken.

WANT DOORS OPENED.
Residents of Ocean Grove Protest
Against 'fReligious OIigarchy.''

Ocean Grove, N. J., Sept. 9.-Property
owners and lease holders here to the
number of 200 have held a mass meet
ing to protest against the CLOSED door,
policy of the camp meeting association,
which denies them representation in the
organization. Its meetings are execu-
tive and it is stated it has repeatedly
refused to publish a sworn statement of
it's financial condition. The association
by its charter granted by the legisla-
ture 3S years ago reigns over the resort
and its 1000 permanent residents.
At the meeting the Rev. ]. 1. Bos-
well, the leader of the protestants was
successful in having an executive COM
mittee of seven named for the purpose
of making up and framing for action
the grievances the residents declare
they have suffered for years under the
rule of what Rev. Mr.. Boswell terms
"a religious oligarchy." Resolutions
adopted demand from the association a
complete financial report for the last
decade.
A resolution handed to the executive
committee for consideration was a pro-
position to have Ocean Grove cut off
from the rest of the township in order
to escape double taxation. The adoption
of the plan would mean the annulment
of the Ocean Grove charter.

NEW VAUDEVILLE HOUSE OPEN
The Olympic ON East Eighth Proves
to Be Popular.

That Topekans are hungry for good
ten cent vaudeville, such as they have
been in the habit of enjoying for the
past two years. was evidenced Sunday
by the patronage they accorded the
opening performances of the Olympic
theater on East Eighth avenue, and
which will be the home of ten cent
vaudeville in this city for the coming
| season.
For four times during the afternoon
and evening, this new theater, which
is more cosy in arrangement than any
of the other ten cent houses which
have been operated in the city, was
crowded to it's capacity, which is in
the neighborhood of five hundred
seats. And the crowds went away
satisfied for show was presented
which will rank with the best ten cent
vaudeville shows that have been seen
in this city. Everybody said so. Some
went so far as to say that it was the
best that had been seen here. At any
rate it was worth the money two or
three times over If the show given
yesterday, and which will be on the
boards for the rest of the week can
be taken as criterion of the shows
that as good vaudeville as anyone
would want to see will be provided at
the Olympic. Mr.. George F. Clark, the
manager promises that all of his

house.
It is hard to say which act on the
bill for the opening show this week
elected the most appreciation from
the large audiences which witnessed
them yesterday afternoon and last
night. Taken as whole they pre-
sent a great variety of good vaude-
vile. Wells De Poux, in a comedy
musical act, does a turn the like of

while. His comedy is eccentric, but
none the less entertaining. In fact

He also plays a variety of musical in

There is another musical act on the
bill which is something of novelty.
1t is furnished by Nancy Rice She
plays a harp with exceptional ability,

 campaign came up before there were any party lines in this terri tory. and number of men as us- ual aspired to office. Among them was a certain man named John II. Behan, we'll known in this terri tory. who had been sheriff of Ya- vapai county and later was the sheriff of Cochise county, being appointed by Governor Fremont when that county was created.
 Later in the summer or early in the fall of the year mentioned, l learned that he was an aspirant for the office of sheriff of Yavapai county, which then included the present Yavapai, Coconino, Apache, Navajo counties and quite little of Gila county He and l had been in the freighting business to- gether and we had fallen out, dis solving partnership. He had in- cured my enmity and dislike through the final settlement in which | thought l got the worst of it. As soon IS l learned that Be- han surely was candidate for sheriff made up my mind to de- defeat him. l went into the min ing regions, where was well ac- quainted and had quite number of strong friends among mining men and miners (not as politic ian, but simply as visitor and prospector) and did some mission ary work in q political way among them for something like two months. After 1 had completed the work to my satisfaction, hav- ing nothing further to do, l re- turned to Prescott. 1 was in Pres colt but few hours till 1 was ac- costed on the plaza by one of the candidates for prominent office and requested to meet himself and other friends and candidates at a caucus where some five or six as- pirants for office were going to hold a session. told him that | was 8 young man and didn't know anything about politics and didn't feel like attending, but he insisted on my going. He said he knew of some of my work already and be- lieved could be of some advan- tage to them. 1 attended that meeting, and on its being brought to order was very much surprised that they called on me as the first to give an idea of the plan of cam paign for them. 1 demurred at passing on such an important proposition, but as l had promised to gain the defeat of Mir. Behan, and they insisted so strongly that 1 should outline plan of campaign, l did so, little believing that they would adopt it; but without any ceremony my plan of campaign was chosen with no change whatsoever, and to my great surprise l was appointed the first representative to go to the most important and largest dis trict in the entire county, at which l also demurred; but finally in huence was brought to bear to get me to accept the task, as 1 had in view the object of defeating MT Behan.
