FUTURE MUCH IN DOUBT

COLUMBUS. July 00.-Members OF the
Ohio republican state central committee,
which is charged with the selection Of q
nominee for the governorship to succeed
Judge E. B. Dillon Of Columbus. have
received invitations from President Taft
to lunch at the White House with the
President and Mrs Taft Thursday. ac-
cording to NJ. A. Karshner. member OF
the committee from the twelfth district
The unusual turn In the affairs in the
republican party caused by Judge Dill
Ions withdrawal has caused many con-
lectures as to what will transpire at the
conference with the President should the
committee accept the invitation.
Will Meet Wednesday.
The committee will meet Wednesday
afternoon in this city and should Presi-
dent Taft's invitation be accepted will
probably leave at once for Washington.
1t became apparent today that the CEN
trail committee will not in all probability
undertake the selection of a nominee to
succeed Dillon. Under the action of the
republican state convention July .. the
committee must arrange for the selecting
of successor to Judge Dillon, but is not
bound to make the choice itself
Two plans are being considered by the
committeeman One is to issue a call for
a second state convention and the other
is to issue a call for direct primaries for
the naming Of a gubernatorial nominee.
Mr.. karshner is in favor OF the direct
primary plan of selecting another NOM
inee. He Is a Roosevelt supporter and
during the spring primaries in this state
managed the Roosevelt campaign in this
district.

WINS SKULuNG HONORS
Ernest Barry of England Beats
Arnst in Champion
ship Race.

LONDON, July 29.-Ernest Barry the
English champion sculler, today defeated
Richard Arnst of Australia in a race over
the Thames course for the sculling cham
pionship of the world. The contest was
a close one over the first half of the
course, after which Barry drew ahead
steadily and was leading by four lengths
half mile from the finish. Arnst then
stopped rowing and Barry crossed the
winning line twenty lengths ahead. The
distance of the race was four and a quar-
ter miles and Barry's time was % minutes
8 seconds.
Great crowds lined the banks OF the
Thames from start to finish, although the
weather was rainy. Most of the experts
are of the opinion that the victory Of
Barry was one Of style against strength
This was the first time in sixteen years
that the worlds sculling championship
had been competed for on the Thames.
Arnst. the holder of the title, started
the race with the prestige of a previous
victory over his opponent, whom he had
defeated on the Zambesi in August, 1910.
Barry claimed at the time that he was
not in condition. and he has been
anxious ever since for another attempt
to defeat the worlds champion and for
the chance of bringing the title back to
England, where it had not been held by
an Englishman since 1876.
The race was for a purse Of $4,000 and
the championship cup. which had been
held for several years by Arnst.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS, July %, 1872
At the last meeting OF the Academy OF
Medicine the members discussed an In
novation about to be introduced in the
new hospital at Lyon, which is to be
the most perfect In the world. and with
other improvements, Is to have separate
rooms for patients who are in a hopeless
condition. Prof. Vidal. in reply to NJ.
Pinard, who deplored that not a single
hospital in France possessed any accom-
modation Of this description. protested
that his own clinic In the Hospital Cochin
provided patients with the last consola-
ton of passing away In separate cham
bers; but he strongly objected to such
rooms being called rooms for the dying. :
since those who were transferred thither
from the wards were immeditely con-
scious that they would never leave them
The real need for such special rooms was
rather in the interests OF the other pa
tients than OF desperate cases, who were
generally past caring about their sur
roundings.
NJ. LIE Mesureur. chief of the state hos
pitals and NJ valiant agreed with Prof.
Vidal. and finally NJ Pinard himself was
forced to admit the uselessness Of calling
specfal isolation rooms by any name re-
ferring to death. The discussion termi-
mated with a resolution that measures
should be taken so that patients should
not be treated under circumstances COM
pelling them TO suffer by witnessing the
spectacle OF sufferings and DEATH, as IS
the case In wards containing forty beds in
the State Hospital Of the Assistance Pub
liuue. where all that Is done is to place
q screen round the bed of the unfortu-
nate moribund cases so that those lying
beside them may not see the end coming.

SAYS SEA rs SAFER.
Senator Smith Declares Congress
Needed Titanic Lesson,

An echo Of the Titanic disaster was
heard in the Senate today when Senator
William Alden Smith OF Michigan, chair
man Of the Senate subcommittee. which
investigated the tragedy, replied to an
editorial appearing in today's issue OF
local morning paper. attacking Congress
for its laxity in passing legislation as
result of the Senate investigation.
Senator Smith pointed out the efforts
that had been made to safeguard life at
sea, the regulations of the steamboat in
spection service requiring all ocean-going
vessels to carry lifeboats and RATS based
on their passenger-carrying capacity in
stead of on tonnage as heretofore and the
bill requiring two wireless operators on
vessels. and expressed the hope and assur-
ance that action would be taken on the
other measures now pending before ad-
journment.
He declared that there was greater
safety today to ocean travellers than be-
fore the Titanic disaster.
Senator Williams of Mississippi added
that 1T would be shameful for Congress
10 adjourn without taking action on pend
ing legislation" He urged the passage of
the seaman's involuntary servitude act,
now before the House. which, he said,
would abolish white slavery at sea.
