The disaster occurred off Epesca-

1t is believed that Captains Yash-

NO EQUALITY
IN RICHMOND

Special by United Press Wtre:
Richmond, Va, Apr. 30:-Wide-
spread Indignation, not only among
the whites, but among the better
class of negroes in the south, has
been aroused over the Equality
banquet of the Cosmopolitan Club of
New York, at which white girls sat
with negroes and intermarriage was
openly preached.
Governor Swanson, of Virginia, in
red hot interview, denounces such
meetings as disgraceful performances
which make more difficult the solu-
tion of the negro problem. He de-
clared that those most injured by
such actions in the north were the
southern negroes. Even southern
negroes of the better class are pre-
pairing to call mass meetings to de-
nounce the propaganda of the New
York organization The feeling is
that such meetings would submit the
negro to disgrace and contempt from
the whites in general throughout the
south The action of the society has
resulted In emphasizing still more
strongly the lines of separation of
the two races.

REPUBLICANS
ANTICIPATE A
LIVELY TIME
Rival SIaies for Delegates at
Large at the Convention in
Trenton Tuesday.
GOV. FORT AGAINST THE FIELD

Trenton, Apr. S0:-ActIve prep
arations were commenced here today
by republican leaders and hotel men
for the entertainment of the repub-
lican state convention, which is to
be held here next Tuesday.
Taylor Opera House, the biggest
theatre in the city, has been rented
for the occasion.
This years state convention prom
ises to be unusually interesting and
important, especially in view of the
fight which is on between Governor
Fort mad the republican organiza-
tion leaders relative to the naming
of delegates-at-large to the national
convention In June at Chicago.
Former United States Senator
John f. Dryden, of Newark, has
been selected for the post of presid-
ing officer Senator Dryden Is a
strong Taft man and this is expected
to lead the convention somewhat in
the direction of the presidential
candidacy of the secretary of war,
but not to the extent of having the
delegates instructed for him or for
any one else.
1t has been the custom of the past
to send New Jerseys delegates to
national conventions without in
structions and this Is likely to be
done again this year.
Present indications are that the
delegates-at-large will be: Governor
Fort. United States Senators Kean
and Briggs and State Assessor Baird,
the latter of Camden county. This
is the organization plan, although
the organization leaders are willing
that former Governor Murphy, chair
man OF the state committee, shall go
in Governor Forts place II that plan
would be more acceptable to Fort
and his friends.
Governor Fort would like to have
Murphy named as one of the big
FOUR but is not particularly pleas
ed with the plan of being eliminated
himself. He would also like to have
former Attorney General John W.
Griggs named as a egate-at-large
His plan would be to drop out the
two Federal Senators and have the
"big four" stand: Fort, Murphy,
Griggs and Baird.
1t is understood that the local Re-
publicans favor G. G. Baldwin, as
one of the delegates from this con-
gressional district to the national
convention. Among the other names
mentioned are: Former Senator
Smith. of Ocean county, Thomas H..
McCarter, and Lewis Thompson, OF
Monmouth.
