The Tulane Theater was again given
over last night to the bright lights of
a musical comedy, entitled "Louisi-
ana Lou" The play is a jambalaya
of laughter, lights, music, wit and hui
NOR, with much good dancing, and
heavily seasoned with chorus girls of
the 1912 vintage. The play was writ
ten by Addison Burkhardt and Fred
erick Donaghey, while the music is
by Ben M. Jerome. While there is
nothing startlingly new, either in the
theme or plan of the play, still it is a
bright, cheerful offering, utterly lack
ing in the bugaboo called dragginess.
The authors have learned the trick
of infusing life into it, and interspers-
ed it with some very clever lines,
and furnished splendid opportunities
for the comedian and Coincidence,
while the admixture Of pretty girls
helps considerably in pleasing all the
senses The music is not distinctive.
and there is hardly anything that re-
mains behind to vie with the musical
gems that other musical comedies
have left in their wake, but still it is
Of the bright, catchy kind that warns
the heart and helps to drive care into
the background and WOO p~leasureable
feelings into the foreground.
The GENE Of the play is laid in this
city and the first act attempts to
show Lafayette Square and some OF
the buildings around, but II n only

by a Jewish merchant on his step,
and is reared by him and finally sent

Operators Paid for Stories.

Washington. - Guglielmo Marconi,
chairman of the Marconi company,
limited, told the senate committee in
vestigating the TitAlic disaster that
he authorized the wireless operators
of the Carpathia and Titanic to sell
the stories of the great catastrophe for
publication.
Marconi explained that in giving
consent for the sale of these stories
he had not attempted in any way to
repress general information OF the
wreck.
The inventor of the wireless denied
any knowledge whatever of wireless

tors telling them to keep your mouths

These messages, one of them signed

forwarded to the secretary of the
navy Mr.. Marconi declared he never
authorized these messages but did
give consent that the operators could

gives the further information that the
majority of the bodies will never come
to the surface.
Captain Lardner of the Mackay- Ben
nett sends word through the Cape
Race wireless station that the steamer
has been drifting in fog. He does
not say when he will reach Halifax.
Bodies are floating on the sea many
miles east and west of latitude 47.35
north and longitude 48.37 west, says
the wireless.
The following dispatch was received
by the White Star line through the
Cape Race station:
DRIFTING in dense fog since noon
yesterday. Total picked up 2O5 We
brought away all embalming fluid to
be had in Halifax, enough for seventy.
With weeks fine weather think we
would pretty we'll clean up relics of
the disaster. 1t is my opinion that the
majority will never come to the sur
face.'
Another wireless dispatch from the
Mackay- Bennett received today states:
Bodies are in latitude 47.35 north,
longitude 1887 west, extending many
miles east and west. Mail ships
should give this wide berth. Medi-
cal opinion is death has been instanta-
neous in all cases, owing to pressure
when bodies drawn down in vortex"
The fact that the Mackay-Bennett
has been able to communicate by wire
less with the Cape Race station shows
that she is laying her course toward
Halifax, as she was without the zone
of the Cape Race station for several
days, and was only able to get into
touch with land through other steam
ers relaying her messages.

Convention Hall, st. Louis, April 26.
Although they claimed absolute con.
troll, Gov. Herbert S. Hadley and 9th.
er Roosevelt leaders in the Missouri
Republican convention met formidable
opposition at a late hour last night.
when they attempted to force Taft
managers to accept minority of the
delegates at large from Missouri to
the Republican national convention.
A fight which had delayed the open
ing of the convention from 10 o'clock
in the morning until 9 o'clock at
night was resumed after the conven-
ton had been called to order and
continued for hours, while delegates
protested in vain at the continued de.
lay.
Fear of disruption of the conven.
tion, quieted for time by the formal
call to order, was renewed in the early
morning hours as the bitterness in
creased and delegates held heated con-
ferences in various quarters Of the
convention hall.
Delegates settled down for an all
night session after midnight, when
committees had failed to report back
to the convention and the fight be.
tween leaders continued.
The convention accepted the fol-
lowing temporary officers, recon.
mended by the state committee:

nounced that the thirty-eight uncon-

evenly divided. Under instructions
from the chairman, the secretary then
passed the roll call to the fourth dis
trict.
While the various committees were
at work on credentials, regulations and
other matters, the body of the con.
vention took recess.
The Roosevelt men, however, declar-
ed that delegates at large to the
national convention would be instruct
ed for Roosevelt and that no agree

Arguments on this point in com.

extended to late hour, while dele.

Roosevelt Men Score.
The credentials committee, domin-
ated by Roosevelt men, returned the
following report to the convention:
Recommended that out of 10 con-
listing county delegations, eight
Roosevelt delegations be seated; one
Taft delegation be seated and in the
remaining four counties that both
Taft and Roosevelt delegations be seat
ed with a half vote to each delegate.
A roll call was demanded and
granted on the adoption of the creden-

Roosevelt forces control. The roll
call showed that the report had been
