warfare. He said:
Mankind will eventually harness
the waterfalls and transform this
enormous pressure into energy and

vessels of war will be used to the
exclusion of ships and with 10000

be equipped to rout the civilized
world.

BRYAN SATISFIED, he SAYS
Illinois Situation Discussed by Ne.
braska Candidate.
States Delegation 10
Denver.

Chicago. April 26.-"I am pretty well
satisfied with the results" is the com
ment Of William J. Bryan on the action
OF the Democratic State convention at
Springfield on Thursday.
Mr. Bryan made a quiet visit 20 Chi
eago following the election Of the Illinois
national delegates. visited a few personal
and political friends, talked over the con-
dition of affairs IN the State, and took
his departure without getting much pub
lieity for his visit. His partial satisfac-
tion Is based on information which he OBJ
tained first hand from men in the con-
vention, and he is tolerabIy well assured
that he can count on the Illinois delega-
tion in spite Of minor flaws in the lnstruc-
tlons.
Mr., Bryan had a talk with Mai E. B.
Tolman, Of the Iroquois Club. which has
invited both Bryan and Gov. Johnson TO
be guests at a banquet at the Auditorium.
Originally this event was scheduled for
May ?. and Gov. Johnson had arranged
an itinerary which made his presence in
Chicago on that day possible The club,
not knowing this. and thinking that any
other date would serve as well. changed
il 10 a later day. which the Minnesota
candidate cannot make. the result being
that the affair has been postponed, with
no definite time set.

HUGHES TALKS TWICE
Addresses Audiences in Al
bany and Troy.
RAGE-TRACK BILLS HIS THEME
sIass Meeting Called to Protest
Against Failure OF state Senators
Grattan and Boyce TO Support
Measures-ResoIutiOn Are Adopted
Urging Votes for Legislation.

Albany, April 2s.-Gov. Hughes, this af-
ternoon. addressed mass meetings at Al
bany and Troy called to protest against
the acGon of Senator Grattan Republi-
can, Of Albany. and Senator Boyce
(Demoerat), OF Rensselaer,. in not sup
porting Gov. Hughes In his efforts to Sc
cure legislation to prevent race-track bet
ting.
For thHee-quarters Of an hour the gov
ernor talked in stirring language. His
remarks were frequently applauded.
The Albany mass meeting was held in
Harmanus Bleecker Hall and started
promptly at $50 o'clock. Before 4:St
o'clock the governor was on his way 10

The Albany meeting certainly was a
success from point Of numbers. Every
seat in the big hall and In the two gal
| lerles were occupied. James F. McElroy,
chairman Of the Albany City Republican
convention last fall, a strong Barnes man.
presided.
Probably the most significant thing he
said was that those who supported the
governor in the movement were bound
TO be inside OF the Republican breast
works, and that every one who opposed
the governor places himself outside.
This remark was called for by the dec
Iaration Of Charles Gibson. president OF
the board OF education. that he was told
he had better keep quiet or he would md
himself outside of the breastworks.
'SNe are not all so anxious" said Mr..
Gibson. TO carry elections and to make
money through a compromise with such
an evil as these We ere combating.
Grnttnn TO Be Held TO Book.
The general tone OF all the addresses
was that Senator Grattan was not repre-
senting bis constituency IN voting against
the race bill. and that he and not his
political leader, would be held responsible
for his vote.
All the speakers indorsed Gov. Hughes
course. Resolutions were adopted ap-
proving and indorsing' the governor IN
his efforts TO secure laws which shall
make effective the provisions Of legisla-
tion against all forms Of gambling; ap-
proving the anti-race-track gambling
bills; urging their representatives In the
legislature 20 support those bills IL they
should again come before the legislature,
and disapproving Senator Grattan's ac-
tieE in voting against the bills.
Gov. Hughes made practically the same
address at Albany and Troy.

PUT BAN ON WOMEN SMOKING
Atlantic City Cafe Managers Enter
Into Agreement to Enforce Edict.
Midnight Raid Ends Gambling in
Fashionable House, and Further
Trouble Is Feared.

Atlantic City, April 2s-women cannot
smoke in Atlantic City cafes. The dictum
has been enforced during the last week,
ana pleas Of pretty girls and matrons
have been sterniy refused by owners of
popular beaeh-front places, some of
whom have entered into a regular agree
ment
The general order. which has been
passed on TO walters and managers, be-
came necessary, because Of the growing
number Of women users OF cigarettes
among the visitors.
The fact that several New York res-
taurants have allowed women a certain
amount Of liberty. especially after the de-
parture Of the early-evening crowd. is
partly responsible for the requests we
have been getting lately TO allow wo-
men patrons 10 enjoy a Whit. said a
cafe manager
ObjeetiRg proprietors make no asser-
tiOn that women have no right to smoke.
but insist that the liberty draws undue
attention TO the feminine tobacco dis
ciples, and is objected 10 by the majority
Of customers.
Many Of the larger and most fashion
able places, including the Shelburne apd
Old Vienna Grill, always have barred
women smoking cigarettes, but their
managers acknowledge that they haze
beer compelled a number Of times during
the present season TO enforce orders
The sudden and spectacular ending OF
the career Of the palatial gambling house
in Chelsea by q midnight raid made by
Prosecutor GOldenberg has not met with
favor among another class Of visitors.
First, belief that the officers were not in
earnest in their intention TO break up sea
shore gambling has been dispelled, and
the resorts career as a gaming center
fOEdly outlined by the sporting fraternity
appears TO be ended.
As a consequence Of the possibility of
further investigation that might involve
the names Of a number Of well-known
Philadelphia and New York folk. who fre-
quented the "Millionaires' Club since its
opening, there is something Of a scare.
Il is now understood that evidence that
warranted the Taiding Of the club was
placed in the hands Of the prosecutor by
a former patron OF the place
This information came as something Of
q shock 10 the promoters. who had hopes
that there could be no case against them
because of the fact that there were nc
players found when the raid was made
AS a consequence. a halt was made in
plans for making a fight TO free Edward
Williams. charged with being the steward
of the club The hearing scheduled for
to-day was postponed for week.
Still another reform that viii do much
TO make the resort popular with the bet
ter class of patrons was the summary
order given by Mayor Stoy to cafe and
saloon men 10 close at o'clock in the
morning, as required by local laws
Twenty-Five owners and managers who
failed to obey were summoned before the
mayor.
Most of the troubles which arise in
che cafes and gTills come after an hour

The mails viii be sorted here. This will

There is little OF nothing to add to the
story of the disaster. The bodies OF three
OF the Cladia;or's crew who were drown
ed have been recovered. One man died
ashore from the injuries he received in
the collision Twenty-three men are still
missing while seven who were injured
are in the hospital at Golden Hin. Isle OF
Wight.
The St. Paul has a hole about ten feet
square in her port bow. She was also
considerably damaged on the starboard
bow. but all above the water line. There
was never at any moment any fear for
her safety.
The splendid discipline maintained on
both vessels is the subject of universal
praise.
Never" said A. E. Lahrens, a New
York passenger. have I seen better dis
cipline than on board the cruiser. It
looked like an inspection. The men did
not move except on orders. The same
discipline was seen on the st. Paul"
4 petty officer Of the Gladiator says:
II was quite near Capt. Lumsden at
the time Of the collision. When the St.
Paul was sighted ahead we gave two
blasts, showing we were going 10 port

The St. Paul answered with two blasts,
showing she was going to port her helm.
Apparently she was unable 10 do so, as
she kept straight ahead. Maybe there
was not room for her 10 GO to port for
fear of running aground.
One of the dead was a steward, who

back and clambered on the steamer. got
his gold. and started TO swim TO shore.
This tine he was thrown up on the beach,
dead.
The ST. Paul lowered five boats. which
rescued a majority Of those who were
saved. The boats were lowered with all
the speed possible in the circumstances.
All the ropes and blocks were frozen
hard. Immediately after the collision the
St Paul was not in a position advan-
tageOus for lowering her boats with the
view of efiicaciOus work.
Some of them were on the water fifteen
minutes after the impact, All five were
at work within twenty-five minutes.
