 A feature of the convention was the singing by the Bridgeport delegation of a song to the effect that Teddy could come back. This delegation was the largest there, coming on a special car, headed by band. Each man carried red bandana.
 The decorations of the theatre were simple, consisting of American flags with Roosevelt's picture in prominence. Tn the back of the stage was copy of the song, 'Teddy's Coming Back. . As the Bridgeport delegation closed their singing, Maud c. Hincks. presl- dent of the State WonanS Suffrage movement, entered 3. box and was given rousing cheer.

MUCH SUCCESS FOR
 GERMAN DAY SPITE .0F HEAVY SHOW FRS
Attractions at Sea Breeze Swarnped With Business
 During Lively Evenmg

Loyalty of the United German SOL cieties of the city was strikfngly man. ifested at Sea Breeze Island. yester- day, when with lowering skies and frequent showers. thousands flocked to the amusement resort for the annual picnic under the auspices of the Ger man American Central Verband.
 Had the weather been clear, the commlttee believes the day would have been record breaker at the island. As It was. even in the early afternoon when showers were frequent, the att tendance was large, and as night fell there was a constant stream of hu- manity into the island, coming by trolley cars, boats, automobiles and teams
 The night was indeed a busy one at the island. Practically every conces- sion on the island was swamped with business. It was impossible for the roller coaster, the tunnel of eve. the merry go round and other tions to carry all the people who -4-Ionged their turns. The ball room was a scene of much gaiety. singers accom- panied by the orchestra enlivening the dance numbers. There were several hundred couples dancing at once, while the roller skating rink was crowded. to its capacity, the beach was lined with bathers in the moon light and artificial illumination, and the old shore dinner house, reopened for the occasion, did a thriving busi- ness of German dishes.
 The day proved highly profitable, for the attendance, while not so large as 1t might have been, was remarkable for the freedom with which all patron ized the attractions. In most of these the Germans received a substantial share of the revenue, and the day will result in a substantial increase in their treasury

MADERO ASKED TO
 SEND MORE TROOPS

Washington. July so.-stung to ae, ton by threats of the rebel General Salazar to attack Americans and by repeated depredations on American ca. property in northern Mexico, the state department, this afternoon, wired flat ultimatum to General Orozco, the rebel generalissimo The message declared that the attacks must cease or Orozco would take the consequences.
 At the same time the department wired President Madero, demanding additional troops in northern Mexico Madero wired acquiescence.
 The state department is at its wits end to know how to protect Amerl- cans in northern Mexico without an actual declaration of war. The mass ing of troops on the border will do little good, it is thought, because the rebels are operating in a district. 10 or 100 miles south of the Rio Grande.
 Tents and foods for American re- fugees, who fled from Mexico to Ell Paso, Texas were provided in a reso- lution passed, today, by the Senate and a House bill providing N$20,O00 for relief work. fs,.s

STEAMERS CRASH IN FOG BUT NO LIVES ARE LOST Steamer RockIand and Giant Collier Chisholm Crash
 Throwing Passengers
 Into Panic S. o. s. Call Sent by Wireless, Which Brings Belfast,
 Speeding to Aid

Portsmouth, N H., July S0.-The eastern steamship Rockland to Bos- ton steam City of Rockland, and the giant collier Chisholm, of New York, crashed in a fog shortly after two o'clock this morning, 25 miles east of Thatchers Light. The bow of the steamer was crumpled and the 250 passengers, among whom were hun dred women and children were thrown into a panic. All were quieted short ly after and an hour later were trans- ferred to the steamer Belfast, of the same line. The Belfast, which was going from Boston to Rockland, took the injured ship in tow and is taking her to Boston. Three tugs have put out from that port to meet the two ships
 News of the collision was received here shortly after by wireless The City of Rockland and the Belfast are equipped with wireless. and it was an IS. 0. S." that sent the Belfast speed ing to the aid of her sister ship. The ships were less than IA miles apart when the Chisholm and the City of Rockland came together with a ter rife crash which threw many pas sengers from their berths and state rooms and sent them rushing on deck in their nightclothes.
 For a few moments there was panic as passengers crowded through half lighted passages to the outer decks The dynamos of the wounded ship continued to work and the captain had every light turned on full in- stantly. In the meantime, the wire less operator began sending out IS. sO.S. calls and giving the ships posi- tion. The officers and crew Quieted the passengers without much trouble and they went back to their state- rooms to dress so they could be in stantly transferred to the Belfast which. reported rushing to aid at fall speed.
 The transfer was made without un- toward incident and the Belfast straightaway put about to return to Boston.

 There is need for a new birth in politics. The two old parties arose in issues that have been dead Tor more than a generation. They rep resent nothing real or good, their only demarkation, the Mason and Dixon line, is a menace and thing to De destroyed.
 "'There is but one underlying line of division in politics, one only that is true and permanent. That is the line between the progressive and the conservative. This division is real and permanent Our politics for 90 years, as you well know, have been two- thirds sham, because our parties stood for little that men really cared for, they were easily. silently and ruthless lv used by the interests that have no party, to turn to their private ad- vantage. the government that IS ours.
 And If this is true in national ar fairs. what can you expect Of Repuo- Elicanisin and Democracy in State and local rovernnlents?
