BATTLESHIPS AT
DEMOCRATIC MEET
Four to Be Sent to Baltimore Next
Week, But Not to Preserve
Order.

The four battIeships Of the second d.
vision Of the Atlantic feet viii visit
Baltimore from June p to ., during
the sessions of the Democratic National
Convention. it was announced at the
Navy Department yesterday evening
The sending Of ships to Baltimore dur
ing the convention period was requested
days after the Democratic National Com
ulittee had selected Baltimore as the
convention city. The Mayor was then
informed that ships would probably be
sent, and since that date additional
reasons have appeared, making it desir-
able from the navy point Of view that
battleships be on hand. II is now be-
heved that the presence Of four fine
nghting ships will be about as convinc-
ing an argument in favor of battleship
plank in the Democratic platform as can
be brought to bear in Baltimore Espe-
cially is It hoped that delegates ard visi-
tors from interior States, who have
rever seen the modern warships, be IA
vorably impressed with the navy.
The ships of the second division are
the Louisiana, flagship of Rear z-dmiraI
Cameron MGR. Winslow, commanding;
the Kansas. New Hampshire, and South
Carolina. All have displacement of l6,-
0Oe tons. These vessels are now on the
Southern drill grounds, having Just come
down the coast from New York, where
they acted as escort for the German
squadron during the visit of the En-
peror's warships TO American waters.

BeIaKco Tbcnter-CIose

BeIasco Thcater-CIOse of Season.
This weeks presentation Of THE Way
to Win a Woman" marks the closing OF
the ButterfeId Players stock engage
ment at the BelascO Theater. For ten
weeks, the period for which the theater
and players services We're contracted for,
this excellent organization has given
very general satisfaction TO local thea
tergOers at large, and to the many ad-
mirers Of Mr.. Butterfield and his indi-
vidual players, in particular.
Encouraged by the success OF the past
ten weeks, Mr.. Butterield had intended
renewing his lease OF the Belasco, but
when he learned that several Of his
players had previously contracted other
engagements to follow their ten weeks
contract with his company. and others
had made definite arrangements for va
cation trips, Il was deemed advisable TO
close at the end Of the period originally
stipulated, rather than reorganize an
other company.
However. Mr. Butterheld announces
that he has signed contracts with the
Messrs. Shubert for a more extended
stock season next summer With only
three more days before the close OF the
Butterheld season ii is expected that the
BelascO patrons will enthusiastically
take advantage OF this notice to attend
these few farewell performances.
