CHICAGO. June 22.-While the news
boys around the hotels were shouting the
extras that announced President Taft's
denomination. followers Of Col. Roose-
welt were drowning them out with shouts
for Teddy" For hours after tile nomi-
nation had been made the Roosevelt head
quarters were filled with people. Speak
ers were holding attention by still talking
about steam roller" thieves and other
issues raised by the roug rideh in the
campaign. There was nothing to indi-
cate the detection which the Roosevelt
followers felt
The Taft adherents, Of course. spilled
their jubilation along the streets and
through the hotel Hobbies. and there was
an abundance and more. But it was
the shouts for Roosevelt, the defeated
that made the scene unique.

MAXIM WORKS ON PLAN
TO PREVENT DISASTERS

LONDON, June c2.-S1r Hiram Maxim
genius for invention and energy are both
amazing. Although more than seventy
years of age, he Is today working with
the vigor and enthusiasm Of q young man
Of twenty on an idea which. II brought to
a successful fruition. will rank among his
greatest triumphs in the realm Of science.
He is convinced that : is possible TO
disaster-such as that which occurred to
the Titanic-absolutely inexcusable. How
the idea came to him was revealed as he
sat with closed eyes in an armchair in
the comfortable study at his residence in
Streatham.
Can Science Do Nothingp
When 1 heard of the dreadful disaster
to the Titanic and its loss with some of
my dearest friends on board, / was
greatly shocked. and l asked myself.
Has science reached the end of its
tether? Can science do nothing to pre-
vent these terrible disasters, this great
loss OF life and property
And after studying the question for
-FOUR hours 1 made up my mind that it
would be possible to provide ship with
apparatus that would enable IL to detect
the presence of any large object in It's
vicinity to determine It's size. it's charac-
ter. its direction from the ship, and also
to measure its distance with a great de-
gree OF accuracy. l have been working
on the problem ever since.
Must Be Careful,
AT the moment. he explained, he must
be very careful what he says, although
he has. OF course taken the precaution
already Of protecting himself SO far as
possible under the patent laws of the
countries which observe the convention.
among which are England, France, Rus
STA. Germany. Austria. Spain. Italy and
the United States.
Sir Hiram already has several drawers
full Of plans and designs made by him
self Of the new invention. The work
manship Of these drawings Is marvellous.
Despite his age, Sir Hiram still has the
lightness and firmness of touch of an ar
fist. which is seldom found in mechanical
drawings
