WILL CROSS TO ENGLAND
IN 35-FOOT POWER BOAT

NEW YORK, June 22,-Thomas
Fleming Day, of New York, is at Port
Clinton for the purpose of superintend
ing the finishing touches and the
launching of the power boat Detroit,
which has been built by the Matthews
Boat Company, for Commodore VIII
liam E. Scripps, of Detroit, and in
which Mr.. Day will cross the Atlantic
ocean to England in July. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Day last summer
sailed from Providence, r. l., to Rome,
Italy, in a 25-foot auxiliary yawl
The new power craft in which Mr.
Day will cross the Atlantic this sum-
mer was designed by John Wells. of the
Matthews Boat Company, and has the
appearance of an enlarged ltfeboat.
Her length over all is 35 feet.
Detroit will carry a small rig, inclu-
ing a 32-f foot mast, on which will be
set a trysail, staysail and 1ib, TO the
total area of 240 feet. She. will carry a
squaresail and yard to be used in case
of necessity. The crew will consist of
five men, two in the engine room and
three on deck.
To store enough fuel for the 2700-
mile trip has been one of the problems
The boat will carry 1,200 gallons OF
gasoline, and the tanks alone would
keep the craft from sinking if the gaso-
line were pumped out,
With so much gasoline aboard there
will be no smoking. No tobacco, pipes
or cigars will be allowed aboard, and
such matches as are carried will be I'M
der lock and key and handed out by the
skipper when he deems ii absolutely
necessary.

PICTURES AID WATCHES
AT 0LYMPIAD FINISHES

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, June 22.-
Herr Calstedt, a Swedish inventor, has
contrived an electrical method of tim
ing the Olympic races with absolute
accuracy. The watches are electrically
connected with cinematographic ap-
paratus. The latter stops at the same
time as the watches and shows an ex-
act picture of the relative positions of
the competitors at the moment of
crossing the line. This, it is expected,
will make disputes impossible.

 A federal troop train with 300 infantry and two machine guns has left Juares over the Central in pursuit of the rebel band that destroyed the bridges on the Mexico Northwestern.
 General Tellez, commanding the fed eral troops here, received advices today that Pascual Orozco Is near Ojiniga, where there are 1600 rebels, according to report made to General Steever. General Telez says he will not send any addi- tional troops to ojiniga. as he has none to spare.

Mexico City. August H.-Joseph Maria Maytorena, governor of the state of So nora, became an important person in the eyes of Mexico today. when he was au- thorized by the central government to use all means at his disposal to crush the revolution In his state. At today s cabinet meeting no attempt was made tc disguise the disappointment of the government that the revolutionary forces had been able to make their way through the federal lines and invade the Pacific coast states
 When Ororco left Juarez il was stated officially that every pass to the west had been closed. and that 1t would be inn possible for the rebel to get through the net. Semi-official papers in the cap ital proclaimed the tightening of the net which was to end the revolution, and the chief Of President Madero's cabinet said Orozeo, the head of the rebel movement in the northwest. was q prisoner. The government is plainly worried over the new turn of things and is trusting to a great extent to the patriotism of the citizens of the western states in the fresh emergency.
 Reports from the south are few, but are more encouraging For the first day In several weeks the government of Mo- felos has reported that there has been Zapatista activity In the state during the day News from the state of Mex ico is under the ban

DEbS CLAIMS ALL FOR SOCIALISTS Says It Is Only True Pro- gressive or True Demo-
 cratic Party

Fergus Falls, Minn., August G.-Eugene ". Debs, socialist presidential candidate. in speech here tonight, declared the so- cialist party was the only true progressive and the only true democratic party in the United States
 MT. Debs said in part
 The spirit of our time is revolutionary and growing more so every day. new social order is struggling into existence. The capitalist system Is doomed. The new system is developing within the old, and it's outline is clearly revealed in it's spirit of mutualism and it's cooperative basis.
 For ages the world has been a vast battlefield and the struggle for existence a perpetual battle. In this struggle the cunning few have triumphed and now have the masses at their mercy. Their money and their mercenaries controlled the republican convention at Chicago. wrote its platform and dictated it's nomi- ness. and the same s true of tine derpo- cratic convention at Baltimore.
 "As for the so-called progressive con- veption it is sufficient to say that there is no attempt to conceal that 1t was financed and controlled by three conspic- uous representatives of the plutocracy which largely owns and wholly rules the land.
 .ssPhe republican. democratic and pro- gressive conventions were composed in the main and controlled entirely by profess sional politicians in the service of the ruling class.
 But there was a fourth convention this year which did not attract the wealthy and leisure class. It was a convention great in purpose though not big in num- bers This convention was held at In- dianapols and represented the working class. The delegates who composed this convention were chosen by the workers and paid by the workers to represent the class interest of the workers.
 ''The socialist party is the only party in this campaign that stands against the present system and for the rule of the people.
 Private ownership and competition have had their day. The socialist party stands for social ownership and cooper ation. The republican and democratic and progressive parties believe in regulating the trusts; the socialist party believes in owning them so that all the people may get the benefit of them. ''
