BATTLESRIP
 ON A REEF
THE DREADNAUGHT ARKANSAS STRIKES REEF OFF MAINE
 COAST AND IS DAMAGED
Accident Similar to that Which Sunk Titanic, But War Vessel Was Built on Proper Lines and
 Was Little Injured.

Washington, June 4.-When the naval inspection board arrived at Rockland, Me, last night to conduct the official trial of the big battle ship Arkansas, they found that when passing through Two Bush channel entrance to Penobscot bay Sunday afternoon the Arkansas had touched the bottom.
 Captain Fechteler, president of the trial board, reported to the navy de- partment today that the ship struck rocks about one quarter of the way back from the bow on the left-ha side, just under the turn of the bilge and close to the keel She bounced along on this reef for a distance of A feet, most of the way just below the forward boiler rooms. At that point the ships structure is divided into a great number of small compart- ments which extend only half way across the bottom of the ship and which are supposed to be filled with oil, in some cases, and in others, with spare fresh water for the boilers.
 The value of the naval system oi subdivision of the hull into large number of small compartments ia believed to have been demonstrated by the accident, for the blow to the Arkansas is thought to have beer just such a clip as the heel of tho iceberg inflicted upon the bottom oi the ill-fated Titanic.
 At the point where the Titanic was struck there were no inner compart- ments, not even coal bunkers, but only the thin skin of the ship. Naval constructors today said that had the Arkansas not been subdivided doubt less she would have gone to the bot tom also. The Arkansas was able 10 go out again today to finish her trial with these eight compartments prob ably full of water, leaving the dam age to be repaired later on unless it is discovered that She ships lines have been so distorted as to reduce her speed below the point of accep- tance.
 The Arkansas has not been turned over to the government by the New York Shipbuilding Company of Cam- den, whose employees were in charge of the vessel when she struck. Therefore, the company will make good the damage and the repairs will probably consume about a month.

POLITICAL
 BRIGANDAGE
ROOSEVELT THUS CHARACTER zES ACTION OF OHIO REPUB-
 LicAN CONVENTION.
Makes Arrangements to Keep in Close Touch With National Committee Meeting and the National
 Convention.

yster Bay, N. Y. June 4-"Pure political brigandagei" said Colonel Roosevelt tonight of the capture Of iiOhio's six delegates at large to the republican national convention by sup porters of President Taft He said | 1t was a fresh and conclusive proof that MT, Taft and his advisers care nothing for the will of the people.
 The former president also replied to today's statement of William Barnes. Jr., whom he attacked as a disciple of bossism and commended to the atten- tion of his opponents, including MT. Taft, the report of the executive com mittee, which last spring investigated conditions in Albany.
 In his statement Colonel Roosevelt said in part:
 This action in Ohio is merely 8 fresh and conclusive proof that MT. Taft and his advisers care nothing for the will of the people and are eager to get the nomination without any reference to the methods by which it is secured, without any reference to whether or not delegates represent the people whom they are supposed to represent. It is 8 crowning illus tration of MT. Tafts theory of gov. ernment of the people by represen- tative part of the people"
 Saying that Mir. Barnes had been chosen to head the Taft forces, the Colonel declares that Mr Barnes stands for ''the rights of bosses to rule the people and the supremacy of privi- lege over the rights of humanity. ? He adds that how the principles ad- vocated by MT. Barnes work in prac- tice Is set forth in the report of the special committee of the New York state senate, appointed to investigate the city and county of Albany. This report, the colonel comments to "tlhose men Cincluding Mir Taft himself.)) who may wish to see just what the Judgment of a legislative committee of MT. Barnes own state is as to the workings of Mir Barnes theory Of government in his own city"
 Colonel Roosevelt has not made up his mind whether he will go to the Chicago convention and he is making preparations to bring the seat of war as close as possible if he chooses to remain at Sagamore Hill. Workmen began today the erection of telegraph wires to the COloners home. with the aid of saunders and a corps of telegraphers manning direct wires from Sagamore Hill to the Roosevelt headquarters in Chicago, Colonel Roosevelt will be able to follow the contest step bp step and give hIs dir- ections in minute detail

HON. TOBIAS o. HAGAN OF RICH
LAND COUNTY, A FARGO VISIT
OR YESTERDAY AND HE TALKS
ABOUT THE DAYS OF THIRTY
ONE YEARS AGO.

Hon. Tobias G. Hagan of Richland
county, was a visitor to the city yes
terday and was a caller at the First
National bank on his friend Fred A.
Irish, the cashier. Mr.. Irish and Ed
L. Morris each fall pay a visit to Mr.
Hagan and from there take in the
shooting in that vicinity.
1T is just abut thirty-one years ago
since l first landed in Fargo" said Mr..
Hagan to The Forum. AT that time
Island park was simply a little woods
with no signs of it reaching it's present
beautiful proportions. The Northern
Pacific which owned the land made a
present of it to the city of Fargo and
Twas one of the ones who helped to
lay 1t out for park purposes.
Business up in u country is ex-
cellent and the crops are fully up to
expectation. I have threshed my
rye and the yield was thirty-one bush
els to the acre which we consider as
excellent. So far as l can learn the
rain has not yet done any great dam
age to the crops, but l don't think they
can stand much more of it. Yes, !
have observed about the chickens and
can only say that they appear to be
plentiful and l look for excellent shoot
ing this fall all over Richland county"
Mr.. Hagen Is one of the best known
farmers in his section Of the state and
has been making q success of 1t from
the very first.
