Republican delegates at large to accept
to Roosevelt's decision today that they
should vote for Taft at the Chicago

STEAMER WAS
SUNK BY SHELL
The Texas Deyiatsd From Proper

Constantmople, May IA telegram
from Smyrna today says the steamer
Texas, which went down in the Gulf
OF Smyrna with 140 persons Monday
night. was sunk by shell fired from
the military fort and not by a mine
as at first reported.
The dispatch says two blank shots
were first fired by the Turkish for
t1bcation, warning the vessel that she
had deV1ated from the proper channel
When no notice was taken a shell sent
the ship to the bottom.
The new version Is regarded as quite
probable. for the authorities had re-
reatedly warned shipping companies
that their vessels would risk BECOMING
targets for the fort II they strayed
from the proper channel.
