VARDAMAN WILL WIN.
Leads Opponents For Senator From
The State of Mississippi.

Former Governor James K. Var
daman probably will 'be next United
States Senator from Mississippi.
Meager returns from Tuesdays DEM
ocratic primary election show that
he is leading Senator Leroy Percy
and C. H. Alexander at ratio of
about 46 per cent. These returns
are from towns and precincts easily
accessible to- telegraphic communica-
ton. In the more remote rural dis
tricts it Is reasonably predicted that
this ratio will be sufficiently increas-
ed so as to give Major Vardaman a
small majority over both Of his op-
ponents.
The long campaign which culmi-
mated in today's election has been
one of the most bitter in the history
of Mississippi politics. The state
has been stumped by the candidates
and other speakers, and charges and
countercharges have been freely
made. Several personal clashes
have occurred and because of the in
tense partisan feeling, peace officers
of the State made special prepara-
tions to promptly put down any dis
order. These precautions proved un-
necessary however as the election
passed Of quietly.

Although Every Possible Effort was
Made to Rescue Them Seven Are
Drowned. Z.
A dispatch from Massana, N. Y.
says seven persons were drowned
late Tuesday afternoon in the St.
Lawrence river when the ferry
steamer Sirius struck shoal eight
miles below that place, capsized and
hurled its seventy-five passengers
into the river. Four bodies have
been recovered.
Scores of motor boats and skiffs
are endeavoring to recover the bod
les. The steamer Sirius left Tuesday
morning for Cornwell on the Canad-
ian side with rs persons bound for a
days outing there.
Most of those aboard were resi-
dents of Ogdensburg and Massena.
The vessel started on the reutrn
about four o'clock and her passen-
gers were seated on deck when the
crash came. Women who could not
swim clutched at deck stools.
Picnickers nearby, in motors and
skulls rushed to the rescue and saw
ed scores. Others, benumbed and
exhausted, were swept down stream
to the International park and later
to death. Those rescued were taken
carried to Massena.

cure the passage Of the senate amend
ment to the deficiency bill providing
for an extra months pay for en-
ployees of Congress. Abandoning q
practice of thirty years standing, the
House voted down the amendment,

City From Attack.
At Boston Tuesday Rear Admiral
Frances T. Bowles, retired, made the
following remarks upon the adop-
tion of the 14-inch gHn for battle
ships: "Nhe adoption Of a 14-inch
which could shoot accurately Il or
Is miles would revolutionize naval
warfare. It would make all the coasl
defence of the present day practical
ly useless.
"a fleet of battleships equipped
with 14-inch guns could send into
Boston messengers of death and de-
struction sufficient to reduce the en-
tire city to ruins before the coast de-
fence could train heir guns on the
hostile fleet.
''If the new 14-inch gums turn out
as successfully as is hoped, the Ad-
miral says, "their destructive power
would be terrific. Not only is the
impact very great and their penetrat-
ing power practically unlimited, but
also the explosion Of The she'll would
play havoc that would be appalling.
"There is no questi. that the gen
eral introduction Of guns of very
large caliber will revolutionize war
fare. 1t will make many changes
necessary to naval construction.
"For instance, it will necessitate
the Improvement Of armor. The
plate will have to be made thicker or
of more impenetrable material in or
der to withstand the increasing strik-
ing power Of the new ordnance.
"The coast defence would serve.
perhaps only to Withstand an actual
invasion should the enemy resort to
this after having demolished the
coast cities.
There is no doubt that fleet
equipped with new 14-inch guns of
the nest type could raze New York
or any other seaport in less than an
hour.
t'The only way to prevent naVal
invasion is to have fleet which
could successfully prevent it. Ships
are about the ouly thing that would
prevent destruction of our seacoast
in case Of war. s....
"It seems to me chat the answer
to this problem Of coast defence is
made by submarine. l believe that
the submarine is going to be taken
more serious every year by naval ex-
-perts.1 Tt is the mot t,.deadly enemy
of the battleship. In the naval ex-
periments made with them subma-
rines have proved themselves cap
able of doing grea- things. They
can prevent an invasion Of a hostile
fleet even in the absence Of the home
fleet of battleships.

also for girdles.
The demand is becoming stronger every

1t is for the boys and girls who have
no father to take them down town with
him to see anything fine or wonderful, or
who have no mother to work and sacri-
flee that they may have advantages of
this kind
l am talking to the children who. may
be. have never been inside of theater
in all their lives, or. if at all. only few
and to those whose fathers have the hard
est possible time buying them bread and
butter and clothes and have no money
left to give them for seeing the sort OF
beautiful things that cost money.
Because The Washington Herald has
arranged TO have the whole Columbia

of you.
There you will be shown something of
