Mauretania Cuts
Off Ten Minutes

New York, Sept 15.-Europe was
brought 10 minutes nearer New York to-
day when the giant Cunard liner Maure-
tania hung up new transatlantic rec
ord over the short course of 21S0 knots
from Daunt's Rock to the Ambrose chan
mel light lightship. Her time for the trip
was days, 10 hours and Al minutes, just
10 minutes better than her record of Sept.
30, 1909.
For this voyage her high days run was
G6l knots and her average speed 26.Of.
both marks identical with those estab-
lshed on her last record breaking voy-
age. Her record for high days run was
established more than year ago at 673
knots in a trip that did not lower her
total time.
The Mauretania passed Daunt's Rock
at exactly 1908 last Sunday morning and
it was just 3.49 this afternoon when she
reached the Ambrose channel lightship
Despite an unusually long stop in Quar-
antine, she locked at 7.35 tonight, the
first time she has been able to land all
her passengers in this city before night.
Although she has locked previously on
the night of the fourth day, it has always
been so late that most of her passengers
have remained on board over night. -

Women With Their Equal Rights
Crowdins Into Criminal Game.

The discovery that a group of young

for immediate and energetic action. To

pockets of men folk, but hitherto the Gus
tom, as countenanced by operator and
victim has been confined to the family
circle, or rather to the nominal head
thereof. and to the seclusion of the silent
watches of the night. 1t has no standing
in law, but has come to be looked upon a $

superfuous assertion that she Is not her

Cannon
Is RenOminated.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE nomination
of Speaker Joseph G. Cannon for re-
election to Congress and the seeming
defeat of Congressman George +. Foss
at the hands of his Progressive oppo-
nents as indicated in early returns
were features of today's primaries in
Illinois.
Two years ago Speaker Cannon who
was nominated today by compara-
lively small vote, as representative
from the 18th Illinois congressional
district carried Veremillon county by
plurality of $500. Returns from this
county up to midnight indicate that
Mr.. Cannon's plurality will be about
$500.
Meagre returns from other counties IN
the district indicate about the same fall
ing off. That Mr.. Cannon has carried
every county in the district seems GER
tain. Early returns indicated the nomi-
nation of Lee O'Neill Browne for re-elec-
ton to the State House of Representa-
tives. Browne was recently acquitted of
a charge Of having bribed state repre-
sentative to vote for William Lorimer
for United States senator. Early returns
also indicated the nomination of Ira G.
Copley by the Republicans of the l1th
Congressional district Of George w. Conn,

one of the fiercest in the state and is said
to have been backed by the stand-patters,
