WARSHIPS AT
CONVENTION

w WASHINGTON. June 20.-For the
first time in the history of the country
battleship division will attend po-
litical convention when the Demo-
Gratis meet next week at Baltimore.
orders were issued yesterday to the
second division of the Atlantic fleet
to proceed to Baltimore and remain
there from June % to 30, ION the oc-
casion of the Democratic national
convention at that city" In the abb
sence of Secretary Meyer and AS
sistant Secretary Winthrop this order
was signed by Rear-Admiral Philip
Andrews, acting secretary of the
navy.
This does not mean," explained
Admiral Andrews, that the navy is
going to intimidate the convention or
that the President thinks the conven-
ton will get into such disorder that
large force of bluejackets Will be re-
CURED to maintain peace but the SIM
pie explanation Is that early this
summer a delegation of Baltimore
citizens headed by Major James H.
Preston visited Washington and saw
the President and made the request
that if 1t could be done consistently
with all other considerations, a divi-
sion of the fleet be sent to their city
while the convention was In session."
Secretary Meyer was more than
glad to assent to the suggestion, mas
much as the Democratic majority in
the House of Representatives has
formally in caucus refused to indorse
his battleship program and navy oifi-
ceps generally regard it as a saga
cious policy to encourage acquain-
tance with the navy and it's personnel
among representative Democrats
The second division is commanded
by RearAdmiral Cameron McRae
Winslow and consists of the Louis
lana, Kansas, New Hampshire, South
Carolina and Vermont.

C. O.P. CONVENTION
AMUSES WOMEN

CHICAGO, June 20.-Picture q
thousand locomotives, with bells ring.
ing, whistles screeching and steam es.
Gaping with a kissing sound, and
you'll have a suggestion of the noisy
tumult in the Coliseum. Mentally por-
| tray a thousand men jammed In the
Stock Exchange with a panic i'm
pending and their fortunes In dan
ger, and you will get an idea of the
worried profound and gloomy facial
| contortions of the delegates. Think
of Fifth avenue on an Easter morn
ing with the sun shining and you
will get fair representation of the
weaker sex. The girls and the women
are there with all the creations of
the season in the modiste's art.
Amid the noise, the worried looks
of most of the delegates and the
feminine beauty in the building there
are scenes that only a motion picture
machine could reproduce.
All of the comedians of the coun-
try, If punched together on one stage,
could not produce one-third of the
humor or the funny situations the
crowd presents. II q second P. T.
Barnum could arrange to cart the
Republican convention about the
country, or even the world, he would
make the greatest fortune known and
have the greatest show on earth
The convention is a circus for some.
a tragedy for others. When a fair,
smiling and giggling Oklahoma girl
shouted. isn't it just too killing?'
she expressed the sentiment of the
weaker sex regarding the convention.
On the other hand there are hun
dreds of officeholders to whom the
defeat of Taft means the loss of jobs
and sinecures. Among the thousands
who jammed the auditorium as wit
nesses of the greatest convention In
the history of the United States,
convention in bitterness that out
rivals the forum days in Rome, there
was none who failed to derive the
keenest enjoyment
New York police have often had
their hands full keeping back crowds,
but one about the Coliseum trying to
get in Is a staggerer. The police hold
them pretty well In check. Thou
sands with bogus tickets tried to get
in, hundreds sought admission under
false pretenses, but the rigid rule
prevailed that only the bona flde
should enter.
Mrs. Charles P. Taft, her sister-in-
law, Mrs. Henry w. Taft. and her
daughter. Miss Louise Taft, are at
tending the convention. Others there
are Mrs. Victor Rosewater. Miss So
phie Klotz, Mrs. Cornelius Wander
hilt. Miss Belmont Tiffany, Mrs. John
Hays Hammond, Mrs. Henry C. Cor
bin, Mrs. Frederick Nathin. of the
National Consumers League; Mrs.
Oscar Straus, and Mrs Herbert Par
sons.
The California delegation is at
tracing much attention because of
the presence of two women in 1t, Mrs.
Florence Collins Porter and Mrs. Isa-
bella w. Blaney. They are there by
virtue of the new California primary
law.

mittee on resolutions met at 10.3O
o'clock this morning and resumed It's
work on the shaping of the platform
as If nothing had happened. There
was noticeable absence of Progress
sives. OF the three Roosevelt MEM
bers, not one was present. and 1t was
not expected that any of them ex-
cept Governor Hadley, of Missouri,
would be in attendance.
Both Mr.. Rowell, of California, and
Mr.. Lewis. of Pennsylvania, were un-
derstood to have cast their lots with
Colonel Roosevelt. but Governor Had
ley's attitude left no doubt In the
important business would be allowed
to keep him away.
Owing to the fact that it had
scarcely settled down to business last
night when the announcement of the
prospective division of the conven-
ton caused a hasty adjournment, the
subordinate organization found 1t
necessary to begin at the foundation
today. They had before them the
drafts of the three platforms SUBJ
mitted by the Taft, Roosevelt and
La Toilette leaders respectively. and
there was an announced determine
ton to give careful attention to the
recommendations of all of them.
When the subordinate body COM
pletes its labors, the full committee
will be called in, and after 1t passes
upon the work prepared for 1t re-
port will be made to the convention.
few minutes before IL o'clock the
sub committee adjourned for the
noon session of the convention. Dur
ing this sitting the Illinois. Maryland
and Nebraska members of the full
committee dropped In to say that not
withstanding they belonged to Roose-
welt delegations they had no thought
of ceasing their work in the commit
tee. They were asked. to sit with the
subcommittee tnd accepted the invi-
tation.
Governor Hadley also appeared to-
ward the close of the session, saying
that other engagements had prevent
ed his participation in the morning
work. DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler
sat as proxy for Mr. Barnes, the
New York member of the sub-com-
mittee.
Many of the planks of the proposed
platform received attention, and sew
eral of them were put In final shape

"scotty's" testimony contained this

never located mine either IN the

owned mine and was not a miner.
His only role was to make a big
splurge. to advertise himself as the
spectacular and unbridled spend

schemers were formulating plans
upon which they should profit by this
show. And all 'Scotty" got, he says,
was an amount of money that could
not be dignified by loftier title than
a 'handout."
'Scotty" said the most he ever had
at one time was $1,000, and that the
yellow-complexioned roll he carried
was upholstered with 81 bills.
