FRENCH VENDEMIAR STRUCK BY
BATTLESHIP, SUNK IN 25
#FATHOMS OF WATER.
Boat Carried a Crew of Twenty six
Men and 1t is Feared that Nearly
All Of Them Will Be Lost in the
Accident.

Cherbourg, France, June S.-Dur-
ing the practice maneuVers of the
F'reoch fleet at O'Clock this morn
ing, the battleship Saint Louis COL
Ilded with the submarine Vendemiar
The smaller craft Immediately disap-
peared, and it is believed to have
been cut in two and to have carried
to their death the crew of twenty-six
men
The accident occurred between Au-
rigny island and Cape Hague in the
Race of Alderney, where violent tidal
currents prevail
The battleship was steaming along
slowly when the submarine suddenly
appeared right under the bows of the
Warship. There was no time to avoid
Ia collision. The stem of the Saint
Louis struck the submarine with ter
rife force, driving the little craft
belo% the surface. The engines of
the warship had been quickly revers-
ed, but when she was brought to a
stop the submarine had disappeared
and only threshing of the waters
showed where the under the surface
fighter had gone down.
The Vendemiare was commanded py
Lieutenant Prioul, a young ensign,
and had crew of twenty-five men.
She was launched July Z, 1910, and
was the ninth vessel of the Pluviose
type added to the French navy. She
was 1877 feet in length, with a beam
of .16 feet.
Admiral Kiesel, maritime prefect OIL
Cherbourg, hurried to the scene Oh
board the destroyer Catapulte and
accompanied by a dispatch boat and
tugs and barges provided with COM
plete salvage apparatus. Word was
received here that the minister OF
marine, M. Delcasse, was leaving this
afternoon for Cherbourg.
France Distressed.
has caused great distress, not only
throughout the service, but among
the public generally, which has been
made so frequently to mourn naval
disasters No other navy has been
so unfortunate in the matter of sub
marines.
The Vendemiare is the sixth craft
Of this type to be lost by the French.
There was a glimmer of hope this
afternoon that some of the Vendemi-
ares crew might survive, but owing
to he derth of water in which she
sank, twenty-five fathoms, tne gen
eral feeling is pessimistic.
When the wrecking vessels reached
the scene preparations were made
for dn effort by divers to reach the
submarine and attach chains to the
rings in her hull with the purpose of
raising her
The maneuvers were those of the
third squadron. The submarines of
the Cherbourg station had received
orders to attack the warships and it
was during one of these attacks that
the Vendemiare made the fatal error
of getting directly in the path of the
Saint Louis.

TAFT'S STEAM ROLLER WORKING;
He GETS CONTESTED DELEGATES

said Mr.. Holt. I'VE went to the con-
vention hall and were met by police
men with clubs and revolvers.
He charged that in his own ward
in Little Rock, National Committee
man Powell Clayton refused to ad-
NIT Roosevelt delegates to the ap-
pointed place of meeting. Finally the
Roosevelt crowd forced it's way into
the hall and selected a list of dele
gates, General Clayton leaving the
hall. Later. said Mr.. Holt, General
Clayton came back with twenty-five
or thirty men and selected another
set of delegates, who were later de-
clared legal by the county conven-
ton.
Mr. Holt charged that postmasters
dominated Arkansas politics.
How long were you postmaster of
Little Rock?" demanded General
Clayton.
Twelve years and four months, .
replied Holt.
Were you candidate for reap
poin5ment?"
81 was"
"And not appointed?" added Clay
ton.
"That is true,' said Holt, although
l had the endorsement of the read
ing men of the city"
"We want to do everything in a
regular way" said Mr. Holt, 'but
how can we when we are met at the
door by thugs armed with clubs and
45's?"
"Unless you want to put your seal
of approval on such thuggery, you
will have to seat our delegates"
Only Roosevelt Clubs.
Wallace Townsend representing
the Taft faction, declared the Roose-
welt delegates were urging tine rev
olutionary doctrine of their illustri-
Gus chieftain, the recall of judicial
decisions
He denied that any armed men
had guarded the doors of the Pulaski
county convention hall.
"The only clubs there were those
of he Roosevelt men," he declared
When the matter was rut to vote
Committeeman Burman tKentucky), a
Roosevelt man, moved to. substitute
for The motion to seat the Taft dele
gates a resolution for the seating OF
both delegations with half vote
each. This was defeated by the first
test vote of the day, AZ to 10. The
original motion then was carried by
a viva voce vote.
The next case was the last from
Arkansas, that in the Seventh dis
trict.
The Florida Gases.
The Florida cases, covering the
whole state delegation-the six dele
gates at large and two from each OF
the three congressional districts, was
taken up at LOS. Two Roosevelt dele
cations presented claims for the dele
cations at large and two for seats
in the first district.
The matter was quickly disposed
of. The Taft delegates were unnani-
mously seated. The committee was
ready to vote without a roll call, but
a roll call was asked for by National
Committeeman Chubb ito settle once
for all these people who attempt
such damnable outrages.'
So they gave it, "A to 0.
Georgia Cases Up.
Taft delegates won in the Third
and final district unanimously. Total
Florida twelve contested delegates
all for Taft. The committee then took
up he Georgia cases.
All Of the Taft delegates from this
state were seated.

and felt a strange chill against his
cheek did he know that his beloeed's
soul had gone from him on the gentle
music of Jan Thoreau's violin.
For many minutes after the last gen.

upon his violin. 1t was the great,

brought with him something new, as
the woman had brought something
new, only in this instance 1t was an
element of life which Cummins' peo-
pie could not understand.
Cummins was away for a month on
q traplDe that went into the barren
lands. At these times the woman fell
as a heritage to those who remained,
and they watched over her as q parent
might guard its child. Yet the keen
est eyes would not have perceived that
this was so.
With Cummins gone the tragedy pro-
crossed swiftly toward fnality. The
Englishman came from among women.
For months he had been in a torment
of desolation. Cummins' wife was to
him like flower suddenly come to re-
Iieve the tantalizing barrenness of a
desert, and with the wiles and ways
of civilization he sought to breathe its
fragrance.
AS yet there was no suspicion in her
soul She accepted the Englishman's
friendship. for he was a stranger
among her people. She did not hear
the false note, she saw no step that
promised evil. Only the men at the
post heard and saw and understood.
But they were quiet, evaded the Eng
