proudest boy in the city today and is
the object of envy to all youthful de-
ciples of the great and only Isaac

way to the millrace with hook and
line and his only catch was of SUI

whole family. With nothing but a
small fly hook, he landed a big sal

FRENCH PEOPLE
 FIGHT FOR FOOD
Government Is Forced to Send Out Cavalry to Suppress Rioting and Attacks Up-
 on St0reh0uses.

Paris, France, Aug. 3i.--The war against high prices is being con- tinued with unabated violence and last night the government sent out two squadrons of cavalry to the valencinnes region with stringent orders to suppress all disturbances.
 Storekeepers are beginning to quail before the fury of the popn- lace. Many of them have already intimated their intention of reduc- ing prices as demanded. A mob of women stormed farm near Val enciennes, and the farmer, who suf- ferred from weak heart, dropped dead through fright.
 Agitation against the high prices of provisions continues. Disorders were reported today from several towns in northern France. At St. Quentin, 500 weavers from Isle, a suburb of the city, marched into St. Quentin today and sacked stores where eatables were on sale. Tine police finally dispersed the rioters.

FEMALE DETECTIVE
 WAS TOO CLEVER
Young Lady Employed by Police Department of Los Angeles to Catch the "MaShers" Did
 Her Work Too Well.

Los Angeles, Aug. 3i.-Miss Fay Evans no longer is connected with the police department. She was told by Chief Sebastian today, after four more men had been convicted of having attempted to mash" her, that her services would be needed no longer. Protests were made that even reputable citizens might be excused for flirting with Miss Ev- ans, as she first made overtures to them.
 The young woman was first en- gagged by the department last Fri day. At that time she called on the chief and told him two men had in- sisted on following her. The chief detailed two men to accompany her.
 She then was asked how it was she had attracted attention 60 cas- fly. She declared that the streets were full of men ready to approach the first woman they could without trouble.
 Today the young woman reported for work dressed in light colored lace dress, white shoes and stockings, black silk large sleeved wrap, lined with silk of a brilliant red and trimmed with col- lar and cuffs of the same hue, and wearing tall black domino hat the size of a peck measure. The chlef suggested the costume was trifle loud and might easily attract the attention of those inclined to "mashing."

Washington, Aug. 3i.-The two new battleships authorized by the last naval act probably will be of 22,5OO tons displacement, or the biggest war vessels in the world The largest ships so far designed Tor the American navy are the New York and Texas, with displace- ment of 22,000 tons each, and it be- came known only today that the navy department contemplated ex- ceeding their size.
 The new ships will have heavier armor than ever before on a bat tleship, which accounts for their increased displacement. The arm ament of the new vessels will be the same as the New York and the Texas, with main battery of ten l4-inch guns.

WIRELESS OPERATOR
 SAVES SHIP CREW
With Seas Dashing Over Boat, 16- Year-Old Youth Persistently Ticks for iIelp--Cutter
 to the Rescue.

Charleston, s. C., Aug. 3O.-To the courage of Wirelss Operator Shees- ley, i6-year-old lad, the liner Lexington's twelve passengers and crew of A say they owe their lives. storm racked for 2i hours her nose driven deep in quicksands off Hunting Island, with seas dashing over her, the Lexington threatened to break up and fling her human cargo to death in the seething waters. The Lexington will be loss. Sheesley persistently ticked the call for help. Waves swept the ship and wrecked the wireless sta- ton. Sheesley climbed to the rig ging and fixed up the station and kept calling until thes revenue cut tAr Yamacraw came t0 the rescue.
 Sheesley was persistently send ing out the frantic so. s. call and at the same time urging the pass engers not to abandon hope when the terrific wave swept up and dis manteled his machine. For a mo- ment it seemed all hope was lost, but Sheesley climbed into the rig ging and soon had another instru- ment rigged Up. He hung swaying in the gale, in imminent danger of |his life, and again sent out calls for Fhelp. Suddenly, through the storm, hoa was answered by the revenue cutter Yamacraw, which came to save the Hives of the Lexington's passengers and crew. Twelve passengers, steward and three negro employees Iuf the Lexington, were brought here today by the Yamacraw. The Lexington was tossed about for hours by tho hurricane, and Monday morning Captain Connally, almost naked and half frozen, stood at the wheel, and stokers worked desper, tely, standing in water up to their arm pits. They worked in vain. to enrble the Lexington to steer away from treachery, and the shore toward which they were tin- ally blown and grounded. Captain Connally, a veteran in the service, declares the hurricane the worst of his experience. Three times in an hour the entire hull of the Lexing- ton was completely lost to view. One great sea after another swept down and covered her from bow to stern. Passengers equipped with
 life preservers huddled in the soc-
 ial hall and prayed. When urged

 craw that he abandon the hoat
 Captain Connally decleard that he
 would remain with her until only
 the mast was left to hang to. The
 Yamacraw, after a hazardous ap-
 proach, got the passengers off and brought them here. The captain
 and crew remained with the Lex
 ington, though there seemed little hope of saving any of her.

INSURGENTS PLAN
 FIGHT ON TAFT
The South Not Conceded to the President by the Progressiyes, Who Have Not Even
 Given New York.

Washington, Aug. 30.- The plans of the progressive Republicans to control the national convention next year and nominate a progressive for the presidency were outlined today by W. l.. Houser, ex-secretary of Wisconsin, who is in charge of the progressive headquarters here.
 The progressiyes. according to Mr. Houser, purpose Co develop so strong an anti-Taft sentiment throughout the country that the convention will refuse to renomi- nate the President on tue showing that his candidacy would assure a Democratic victory. With this fact established, the progressives hope to bring about the nomination of Senator La Toilette or some other Republican of progressive princi. pies.
 We intend to control the na- tlonal convention and nominate a progressive to succeed President Taft MT. Houser said. We insist that no other than a progressive can be elected on the Republican ticket. Can we, as Republicans, take chances on Democratic vic tory?"
 Watch Our Campaign"
 T don't intend to begin by making detailed assertions. Just watch our campaign. Our speakers are going into the fight everywhere from now on. Senator Clapp is in California; Representative Murdock is carrying the fight to hte opposition, and others are in the field. In Illinois we are making an active fight, and our showing there will inspire our forces in all directions.
 We do not concede the south to Taft by any means. Oklahoma is practically solid for us. Missouri lis with us. Texas, Tennessee, Ar kansas and Florida are alive with progressive ideas, and elsewhere in the south we have good friends.
 T have a letter from the editor ol uilc Ol Juc ltdullls IdflIl pdpcIS |of New York saying that the farm CTS there were strongly imbued with progressive ideas, and will make fight for a good part of the delegation in the next convention. We are not giving up New York"
 Into Every State.
 Mr. Houser went on to say that the progressive organization would be completed and in operation in every state. We will organize by states. congressional districts and precincts he said. Tn those states where there are presidential preference laws--Oregon, North Dakota, Nebraska. Wisconsin al d New Jersey, organfzatf0n will not be needed as much as elsewhere. X special session of the California legisiature is to 5e held this fall to ona U statewide primary for presidential preference and the same thing is under consideration in kasisas.
