CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April g.
Leading democrats OF Connecticut
have gathered in this city in readi-
ness for the state convention, which
will hold preliminary session in the
New Haven theater tonight for the
purpose of effecting a temporary org
aniZation. Tomorrow morning the
convention will reassemble to choose
fourteen delegates to represent Con
necticut at the Denver convention.
Alexander Throup and other recog-
nized leaders Of the Bryan element
are busy in behalf of the Nebraskan.s
candidacy for the presidential nomi-
nation. Though Mr.. Bryan has a
stronger following ia Connecticut than
any other part of New England, It rs
not regarded as probable that the
state convention will instruct for him.
The indications are that the Connec-
ticut delegation viii contain men
pledged to Mr.. Bryan and others whe
go unpledged, according to the senti-
ment of their home districts.

HAVE NOT DECIDED ON
INSTRUCTION PLAN
West Virginia Republican Con-
,vention Due Today,

PARKERSBURG. w. Va. April 2S,
Republicans of West Virginia are
to meet in state convention tomorrow
to select their delegates 70 the ma
tional convention. Whether the con-
vention will send an instructed de:e-
CATION is not definitely decided The
Taft people are insistin gthat this be
done, and their strength indicates
that they may have their way. West
Virginia, however, has instructed
rarely, and the men who are opposed
to the administration and Taft will
make every effort to block instruc-
tons. But whether they succeed or
fail, it is regarded as extremely doubt
full If any other candidate than TAFT
will have West Virginia support. The
state committee has already endorsed
the secretary of war for the presi-
dency and practically all of the
avowed candidates for the Office of
delegate-at large have expressed their
preference for Taft.

tons resources may be overlooked,
and four men from each state or ter
ritory should be able to pretty thor
oughly report on the resources of the
respective states. Governor Kibbey
has named Messrs. Nichols. Heard
and Fowler as his assistants and
probably no more capable men could
be chosen for that service.

Officers So Fatigued They Are

It had to come, and to Lieutenant w p

Let nobody doubt that the. officers Of the
Atlantic feet have due appreciation of the honors
that have been heaped upon them and of all
that has been done TO entertain them since thev

best OF fun and good times on shore do NOT
make up entirely for continued loss OF sleep
and continued fatigue And so 1t happens that
a good many officers of the fleet have gone
the limit on functions and are just about
played out. f
Lieutenant "Bill'' Cronan, as he is famlliarly
known to the feet. is of the most popuiar
officers aboard the Connecticut. Is a good social
mixer and withal has the reputation of telling
good stories and now and then uttering bon

FUN ON SHIPBOARD
WITHMERRY WIDOW
Fair Visitor Gets Stuck in Tur-
ret and filings Loved Bon=
net Away

Visiting day on the flagship Connec-
ticut of the Atlantic fleet has developed
new one which has to do with a
California girl and the Merry Widow
hat.
She was bewitching damsel. who
was aboard to see everything there
was to see, and the tour of the ship
had been completed under convoy of
full. auxiliary attendance Of smiling
officers. She had made a triumphant
cruise of the entire vessel and finally
emerged on the quarterback, radiant
and satisfied. when her eyes alighted
on the after IL inch gun turret.
She must explore that turret. What
was the worth of all the rest of the
sightseeing tour unless she could also
be initiated into the mysteries of those
great guns and fondle the massive ma
chinery by which they were handled
She must see the ammunition hOists
swing up into the turret from the
depths below, she must watch the pow
erful electric ram charge It's way into
the breech of the gun, she must peek
through the sighting telescope and
close her gloved hand over the revolver
grip that in time of battle would send
the ships heaviest projectile HURTING
out over miles of sea. And the officers
smiled and acquiesced.
Tne entrance TO the turret is only a
little trap in the under part of the
turret, just large enough to admit a
single body at al time. and 1t Is but
about three feet above the deck. She
had to stoop, almost to her hands and
knees, to reach the opening. and then
she Strengthened up to enter. Horror
of horrors! The merry widow" was
too big. 1t stuck. There stood the
pretty girl, half standing. half STOPPING,
unable to bulge, and from either side
came the stifled laugh of bluejackets
and visitors enjoying hugely her pre-
dicament.
Yes, 1t was embarrassing. and she
blushed; but she wasn't the girl to
retreat. Her escorts couldn't help her,
but she reached up and deliberately
removed several scores of hatpins
Throwing them to the deck and tossing
the offending merry widow to one
side as nonchalantly as though 1t were
not her hearts own Coy and pride. she
grasped the iron rungs Of the ladder
and up she went. There was cheer
from the bluejackets and handclappins
from the officers. The California girl
had won again.

PRINCE OF MASCOTS
ISPROUD LEANDRO
Gift of California Girl Accepted
as Official Mascot of
BattIeship

There is grief aboard the flagship

mails composing the Amalgamated Or

are still. but only secondary mascots.

rgilded horns and a collar Of surprising
gorgeousness. Leandro. a magnificent,
full bloOded Angora goat, butted in
yesterday among the privileged pets Of
the Connecticut and at once assumed
complete mastery and leadership in the
society Of mascots.
He was accepted with acclaim as the
official mascot OF the flagship. for of
all the mascots Of the feet Leandro is
the proudest and highest born. He is
az aristocrat among sristocrats. and he
knows IL.
That Leandro should thus strip a few
dozen common goats and bull pups of
their laurels is not due alone TO the
gloss OF his coat or the dignity of his
bearing.
he was the gift. Of beautiful Cali
fornia girl, and that counted with the
sailors. Miss Emma California Herr
scher. daughter Of Joseph Herrscher of
this city. was the donor, and the sailors
OF the Connecticut have received their
pet from her hands with double joy
When Miss Herrscher told Admiral
Evans that she would like to present
Leandro 10 the Connecticut the COM
nsnder in chief at once notified Cap
tain Osterhaus Of the proposed gift
and the captain gallantly accepted the
prorer In behalf Of himself and the
ships company.
Leandro Travelled in state from the
. acre pasture in San Leandro. which
Fhas been his own since when kid he
became the property Of the San Fran
cisco society girl. A pass issued by
General Passenger Agent James Hors-
burgh Jr. OF the Southern Pacific pro-
vided for his transportation by rail and
ferry from San Leandro to San Fran
cisco and he was treated on train and
boat with all the consideration due an
h0nOred guest.

younger brother. accompanied Leandro
10 the Mission street landing. where
he was met by a tug loaded with blue
Jackets from the Connecticut

choppy bay without a whimper and

where he was received with cheers and

east of Fresno and he wants to use
this water without paying anything
for it,
Pinchot does not believe that Hunt
ington should be allowed to acquire an
exclusive or permanent title to the
water, and he insists that so long as he
uses it he shall pay the government
something for the privilege. Not long
since Short attacked the whole line Of
policy OF the administration relative to
forests and streams aud claimed that
these natural advantages should be re-
garded as the property of local COM
munittes near which they are found
and that the national government
should not attempt to Interfere with
their use
1t Is not at all likely that Shorts in
terview escaped the attention OF the
forestry service officers and II is most
probable that it was read in the White
House itself. And when the author of
the interview was appointed a delegate
to represent California in the coming
conference somebody sat up and took
notice. Just what the occupant of the
White House thought or said nobody
here can pretend to state. but II is not
improbable that he may have con-
Jectured that the other two delegates
Were like Short and that all three were
coming to fight the policy which II IS
the principal purpose of the conference
to advance.
But at any rate what the president
did was to write a letter to ex-Gov-
ernor Pardee extending to him a spe-
cial invitation to come on and take
part in the conferences. tits altogether
likely that a reason for this action by
the president is found In what occurred
at the national irrigation congress held
In Sacramento last September. Former
Governor Pardee acted as chairman OF
the committee on resolutions and made
the fight to uphold the policies OF the
forestry service Pinchot and other
federal representatives were present at
the time and consequently the former
knew that with Pardee on hand Cali
fornia would have at least one repre-
sentative in the conference who wouI6
not be antagenistic TO the Roosevelt
plans. AT any rate, Pardee has gone te
Washington at the special invitation Of
Roosevelt. The letter he received from
the president contained a number of
very pointed paragraphs, which have
been read by Pardee's friends in this
city. and they declare that the epistle
gives every evidence that California s
governor is not in high favor at the
national capital
