TWO CALIFORNIA DELEGATES
TAKEN FROM Roosevelt AND
HANDED To THE PRESIDENT
new SENSATION IN
THE TITANIC CASE
Careless Actions of British
Board of Trade Are
Brought to Light.
CNational News Association)

LONDON. June 12.-Light of SEN
sational nature was thrown upon the
manner of applying the regulations of
the board of Trade which govern the
safeguarding appliances on English
ships when the British inquiry in the
Titanic disaster was resumed.
Sir Walter Howell, chief of the ma
rlne department of the board of trade
was called to the stand and testified
that the number of passengers a ship
carried had never entered into the cal
culations as 10 the number of life
beats she should carry Nor was the
size of the crew considered. The law
governing the number of boats was
based solely upon the gross tonnage
OF ships, Sir Walter said.
Sir Walter admitted the Board of
Trade regulations were antiquated but
said he was not competent to answer
why there had been no alterations in
the past eighteen years.
Il suppose the need of new laws
for protecting life at sea had not oc-
CURED to anyone" he said
Lord Mersey then reverted to the
testimony relative to the legal number
of lifeboats
1T seems to me on the surface of
things, remarked the presiding off,
Ger, that ship should carry enough
boats to save everybody on board.
If what happened in the Titanic disis-
ter was fair example the number of
boats should be increased one third.
The same suggestion was made by
Attorney-general Sir Rufus Isaacs. Sir
Robt Finlay, counsel for the White
Star line said there would be insuffici-
ent seamen on a ship to man the life
boats if that were done.

BOLT IN INDIANA
TAFT RANKS NEAR
Watson Holds a Conference
Today with Dixon, Roose-
welt Manager.
By CARL MOTE.

CHICAGO, June 12.-Colonel Roose-
welt will get As electoral votes next
fall from West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania, states which went heavily for
him at the primaries and which are
represented on the national committee
by Taft men, whether the national
convention nominates Roosevelt, Taft
or a third man.
"Bill' Finn of Pennsylvania, and
Governor Glasscock of West Virginia,
in interviews today that electrified the
delegates declared that if the Taft
steam roller succeeds in burglarinzing
the convention their states will deliv-
er their electoral votes to Roosevelt.
They said that the plans will apply
in all states where the success of the
state and county tickets depends on
the name of Roosevelt.
From all parts of the country pro-
tests against the actions of the nation
al committee are reaching Chicago.
Indiana has joined in these protests
as is shown by telegram to Edwin
NJ. Lee. The telegram is signed by
Ed Hartley of Floyd county and reads.
THE Floyd county Republicans will
not stand for the nomination of a
committee made candidate. We will
assemble and resolve to that effect"
Protests are reaching Chicago from
Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and
Ohio. 1t is said here that several mass
meetings in Indiana have been called
TO protest against the misrepresenta-
tons by Harry S. New of the Hoosier
Republicans.
The threatened break in the Taft
forces in Indiana is imminent. Charles
Campbell, Roosevelt national commit.
teeman, and James E. Watson, a Taft
delegate at large, had a conference
with Senator Dixon today and while
neither would make any announcement
following the confession, it is practi-
cally certain that four or five Indiana
Taft delegates will desert him for
Roosevelt. No announcement of names
can be made at this time.
When Indiana is called to vote in the
convention the majority of its votes
are fairly certain to be cast for Roose-
welt and Charles Campbell is reasona.
hly certain to be elected national com
mitteeman.

Fighting against battering seas that

Forlsed River Life Saving Station. north
OF Barnegat, y. j., finally effected the
rescue to-day Of the crew OF the italian
bark Caterina, Capt. Coster. bound from
Montcvideo, Uruguay, for New York.
The Catcrina was tossed on the north
end CT the Barnegat shoals by a souther-
lv gale. which was p!ling up a heavy
sea. The plight of the vessel was no,
apparent until daylight, when hundreds
came to the shore, Most OF the watchers
we're wrechers, eager-eyel men in oil
skins, ready to reclaim what they could
from the sea when the bark broke up.
The Caterina gave larger promise Of re.
ward than the wreckers have had In
many months.
From the first It appeared the vessel
was doomed. She staggered beneath the
terrific pounding and was borne at each
shock higher on the reef. An attempt
by her crwe to launch life-boat would
have been as futile as IN endeaver to
swim ashore, and the sailors took to the
rigging. Shouts OF ENCOURAGEMENT from
the shore were hurled back by the gale
as the men on the Caterinl watched the
failure OF each successive effort TO get
a life-boat through the raging surf.
Help was summoned from ne,ghborlns
stations. ana late this afternoon the
s.er!nl's crew vas brought safely
shore. The vessel herself, according IA
