While the roll by districts was being
called the delegates from the thirty

was unanimously chosen. as were Ber-

CANADIAN SHIP CANAL
is SERIOUSLY DAMAGED
Steamer Rams Lower Gate
With Costly Results

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, June O.
With all the weight of Lake Superior
behind it an ungoverned torrent of
water rushes tonight through the s4.-
900. 900 Canadian canal built to carry
vessels around the impossible rapids
of the St. Marys river
The entire fall of approximately 20
feet is concentrated in the lock. which
was wrecked today when the steamer
Perry c. Walker of the Gilchrist fleet
rammed her bow through the lower
gate. The canal showed within its
walls this evening a tremendous spec
tacle, including two water falls and a
giant whirlpool.
The ore laden steamer Crescent City

which was just entering the locks from
Lake Superior when the accident oc-
Cured, was swept down stream like a
feather She overlook the 'Assiniboia
and struck the latter two glancing
blows after having a great hole torn in
her side as she swept past the broken
lower gate. Tugs caught her and
towed her to the American side, where
she settled TO the bottom.
The loss to the Canadian government
will probably reach S250,000 and the
damage to the Crescent City is esti-
mated at S100 900. The damage to the
steamers Walker and Assiniboia was
comparatively light.
Captain Mosher of the steamer Walk
er declares that the accident was
caused by his engineer throwing his

ROLPH POSITIVE IN
REFUSAL TO RUN
Business and Private Affairs
Principal Reason for Declin-
ing Nomination

James Rolph Jr. yesterday gave his
final decIination of the honor of head
ing the republican primary ticket tc
the county committee.
The special committee of the county
committee, of which Ralph L Hathorr
is chairman, called on Rolph in his
office at O'Clock yesterday afternoon
The committee remained cIoseted with
Rolph for nearly two hours. but found
him firm in his determination to keeT
out Of politics. Business and private
affairs which demand all his attention
formed the principal reason on which
Rolph based his refusal, but he also
deprecated the notion that he was the
man of the hour"
In the committee which waited on
Rolph were Ralph l. Hathorn, F. H
Dam, Samuel A. Clark, John T. Pid-
well. John Butler. Jere Lucey. Peter
J. Kelly and NJ. E. Gates. The other
two members Of the committee, John
Daily and Marshall Hale, were not
present
Rolph had committed his answer TO
writing in advance of the visit from
the committee and merely amplifie6
the reasons in the lengthy conversation
which took place. The statement made
by Rolph is as follows:
It is with deep sense OF responsibility
that have weighed the honor which your
body has rendered 10 me. and il has cost me
much trouble and anxiety to ind the straight
path OF my duty in this emergency 1t would

Thirteen Doodle Dees

Fateful and ominous '13" played an
important part in the troubled exist
ence OF the doodle dees' different coun-
ty committees at Polito hall last night
when a bakers dozen of those who
adhere 10 the heshpots of Hearst re-
jected with scorn alleged overtures
from Insurgent O'Connell to remarry
the divorced factions with himself at
the head of the house and demanded
that the interlocutory decree in the
case of O'Connen VS.. Hearst should be
made final.
Claims to the custody of the infant
independence league were reiterated by
the firm Of Murphy, McIsaacs & Polito.
attorneys for Hearst, and every lull in
the proceedings was filled in with de-
nunciations Of the incorrigible OCon-
nell.
The meeting was held apparently for
the purpose of denouncing O'Connell
for alleged Misrepresentation and
usurpation of power, and it was finally
decided to cite him and the eight COM
mitteemen who have remained loyal to
him to show cause why they should
not be thrown out of the fold which
they left long ago.

OPPOSITION TO GEORGE w. WOOD
RUFF,

Washington Star.-President Taft
has done nothing toward withdrawing
the nomination of George W.. Wood
ruff as federal district judge of Ha-
wall This nomination was made
some time ago, but was not con-
firmed. There is known to be tconsid-
cradle opposition to the nomination
in the Senate, and it may be strong
enough to prevent confirmation. The
opposition is based upon the belief
that Mr.. Woodruff's legal experience
and knowledge are not sufficient to
qualify him for federal judge.
During the Garfield regime of the
Interior Department Mr.. Woodruff
rendered a number of decisions con-
corning public lands that western
senators considered radical and alto
gether unwarranted. They think tina:
if these were samples of Mr. Wood
rufus legal information and applica'
ton he should not be made a judge
of Hawaii or anywhere else.
Mr.. Woodruff before coming ia
Washington as assistant attorney
general for the Interior Department
was a noted football player on the
team of the University of Pennsyl-
vania and is from that state.
