ATHLETICS AT SEA.
The Olympic Men Practicing Daily on
the Steamer Finland.

on Board Steamer Finland, via wire
less, June 16.-The entire United States
Olympic team, excepting the cyclers,
is training as strenuously aboard the
Finland during her passage across the
Atlantic as though the final few weeks
before the big international games
were being spent on land.
All the athletes are going through
two daily workouts, one in the morn
ing, the other in the afternoon Thus
the athletes are occupied practically
the entire day, directly or indirectly.
with putting the final touches to their
training. Even the discus and hammer
throwers-whose events always de-
mand wide berth on any athletic
field-are keeping in practice. A stout
rope is attached to the discus and ham
mer which the athletes are then at
liberty to fling as far out into the
ocean as their strength will permit.
After each throw the missiles are haul
ed in like fish and the throw is re-
peated. The crack pistol shots are also
keeping their hand in. A target has
been placed at a conveniently quiet
corner of the ship, the marksmen firing
at a range of 25 yards. The swimmers
are practicing in two large water tanks
made of canvas.

hours after he had made his denuncia-
ton of alleged theft, Col. Roosevelt
agreed to a plan whereby he was to
make personal appeals to Taft in
structed delegates to break their in
structions and vote for him.
Announcement OF Timothy Woodruff's
detection was made by E. A. Van
Valllenburg of Philadelphia.
'Col. Roosevelt has authorized me to
state to the newspapers that Former
Lieut.. Gov. Timothy l.. Woodruff, head
of the Kings county delegation of New
York. has just assured the colonel that
he will vote for Roosevelt" said Mr.. Van
Valkenburg. mir. Woodruff states that
the gross and indefencible injustice
shown in the unseatng of legally elected
delegates from Texas and Washington
has forced him to adopt this course. Mr..
Woodruff stated to Col. Roosevelt that
he is convinced that members of the ma
tional committee who voted for these
outrages did so knowing full well that
President Taft cannot win He there
fore feels absolved from any obligation
in further support of candidate whose
managers have demonstrated that they
have not the good of the Republican par
ty at heart
The Taft leaders rounded up the delega-
ton and tonight, issued the following
statement in their behalf:
The undersigned delegates from the
county of Kings having been read the
statement issued by the Roosevelt COM
mittee that Mr.. Woodruff had decided not
to abide by the action of the Republican
electors of Kings county, which chose
delegates pledged to the candidacy of
William H. Taft, hereby renew their al
legianee to Mr.. Taft's candidacy and
publicly announce that the position
which Mr.. Woodruff has taken In no way
affects the position of the delegation
from that county.

Socialist Party
Feels Hopeful.

Chicago. June 16.-The first CAM
paign in which the Socialist party has
had Il complete ticket iii every state
in the nation opened here, this after
noon. Eugene V. Debs and Emil Seidel,
the Socialist candidate for President
and Vice President of the United
States. made the chief addresses. Both
candidates spoke at meeting in Riv-
erview park.
MI. Debs said in part:
In this campaign there are but two
parties and but one issue The social
ed Republican and Democratic parties
are substantially one in what they
stand for. opposition to each other on
no question of principle but purely in
a contest for the spells of office. They,
or rather it, stands for capitalism, for
the private ownership or the means of
subsistence for the exploitation of the
workers. and for wage slavery-a spec
tacle of political degeneracy never
Witnessed in this or any other coun-
try.
1--WE have in this city at this hour
an exhibition of capitalist machine
politics which lays bare the true in
wardness of the situation in the cap
italist camp. Nothing that any So
cialist has ever charged in the way
of corruption is to be compared with
what Taft and Roosevelt have charg-
Ell and proved against one another.
They are both good Republicans, just
as Harmon and Bryan are good DEM
eerats-and they are all agreed that
Socialism would be the ruin of the
country. ~
what difference is there, judge by
what they stand for, between Taft,
Roosevelt La Toilette, Harmon, Will
son, Clark and Bryan?'
For the first time Mr.. Debs said,
the Socialist party was now organized
in every state in the Union with a
full ticket in the field and there was
but one issue he said, that appealed
to this conquering army-the uncon-
ditional surrender of the capitalist
class.
Mr.. Debs demanded social justice for
everyone and referred to conditions in
the New England textile mills and the
lumber and railroad camps of the North
west to what he called "the civilized
savages of San Diego"
The speaker upheld the manner in
which the Socialists had gone to the res
cue of Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone,
and he declared that Etto and Giovan-
nitti, who are now in jail at Lawrence
Mass, awaiting trial on charge OF
murder, were no more guilty of the crime
than he himself
Mr.. Debs declared that according to
the latest census reports foundry work
ers in the United States were PAID an
average wage of s519 for the year, an IN
crease of not quite per cent. IN hve
years and an increase of Fl per cent. IN
10 years, but the average cost OF living
had increased more than 40 per cent. dur
ing the same time.

Most of the work on the Roosevelt
declarations was completed before
Mr.. Roosevelt's arrival in Chicago
while the first formal meeting of the
Taft pronouncement was held today.
The Roosevelt pronouncement is
the result of labors of many of his
friends, but principally of his former

discourage such movement. Mr..
