Cleveland boosters may not be roy
ally entertained when they come to
Richmond, Secretary Haas Of the
Commercial club said today.
The Cleveland booster trip of 1875
members of the wholesale and man.
Chamber of Commerce appears to be
business trip in which a number of
business men desiring to visit trade
through this section of the country are
pooling expenses, making the trip to-
gether and enjoying themselves in ad-
dition, Mr.. Haas said.
Mr.. Haas has received no official
notification of the arrival Of the party
except a letter in answer to his in
quiry in which the most important
item is omitted, the schedule.
The letter said the members would
like to have the club here make any
arrangements possible SO that they
could leave the train and visit all the
trade in short order.
How Haas Feels.
THE motive appears to be purely
selfish" Mr.. Haas said. "Of course all
trips of this character are indirectly
for the purpose of boosting trade, but
there is usually more fraternal spir-
it shown. If this were so in the pres
ent case, the committee might make
arrangements for lunch and a smo-
ker and other forms Of entertainment
do not even known whether the train
will reach here Tuesday or some other
time An advance man visiting the
trade Of Cleveland dealers here, said
the party would arrive at 10 O'clock in
the morning and leave at 3 O'Clock in
the afternoon"
Bailey's Enterprise.
William NJ. Bailey, manager of the
Richmond Home Telephone company,
said today he is trying to perfect ar
rangements to establish tree long dis
tance connections from Richmond. to
Cleveland for those who want to tele-
phone to their homes.
We will attach telephone to the
special train as soon as it arrives in
Richmond" Mr.. Bailey said.
II believe we should show the Cleve-
land party every courtesy and should
keep the members busy all the time
they are here. We might benefit by
some of their trade if we show them
that Richmond is a live city. Rich
mond has received courteous treat
ment on her booster trips and we
should do the same for Cleveland or
any other city"

SYRACUSE, N. Y, April 3O.-The
name of Governor Chas S. Whitman
lent spice today to the Barnes Roose-
welt $5O.00OO libel suit Interest in the
big trial which waned considerably
when Col. Roosevelt left the witness
stand after his long testifying, waxed
again today with the possibility that
the governor might be drawn into the
case.
A dispatch from Albany today said
that Gov. Whitman admitted writing
the letter to Chas H. Duell, jr, that
was read into the colonel's testimony
yesterday in which Whitman said it
was time for all Progressives and all
progressive Republicans and all good
citizens to get together and rid the
state of boss rule extending into both
parties. The letter did not mention
Barnes and Murphy. however.
Denies Telegram.
Hugh Hastfngs-of counsel for Barnes
was responsible for a statement gen.
orally published that William WINS
had telegraphed the governor asking
him if he would be willing to come to
Syracuse and testify.

Mr.. Ivins said today, Il care nothing
about that Duell letter. 1t does not

When court convened Harvey D.
Hinman Of Binghampton, was called
to tell about the senatorial election of
1911. when James A. O'Gorman was
elected United States senator to sue
ceed Chauncey Depew. Hinman was a
senator in 1911 when William Sheehan
was the Democratic caucus nominee
for United States senator
Read Journal.
The journal of the assembly COW
ering that period showed that at the
beginning, that the vote was scattered
among Sheehan, Depew, Alton Parker,
James W. Gerard and others.
"Mr Depew was the only Republi-
can voted on there?" asked Van Ben
schoten, as he read the vote of each
days joint assembly.
YES" answered Hinman.
Later votes showed the names of
Glynn, Sulzer and other Democrats,
but Depew was throughout the dead
lock the only Republican. Hinman led
up to the final election of O'Gorman
by vote of Democratic and Republi-
can senators under the alleged Barnes
control. Hinman time told of
a good deal of legislative action in
Albany in 1910 and 1911, tending to
show that Barnes, Republican, and
Murphy, Democrat, acted together to
control.

hundred to Heligoland.
The report that a large number of
German warships have been cruising

of the attack on Dunkirk caused a sen.
sation here.
Dunkirk Base Of ALLIES.
British warships have been reported

The crew of the Lillydale and the
sailors of the Mobile were given ten
minutes to leave the boats. They took
to the small boats and safely reached
land The Mobile was new ship, and
left Barry last Saturday with q cargo
of coal.
Frightful losses on both sides have
marked the last ten days fighting in
West Flanders, and it is officially es-
timated that from twelve to sixteen
thousand unburied corpses dot the low
lands or lie in the flooded marshes
between the North Sea coast and the
battlefield of Ypres.
Grave fears are felt that an outbreak
of cholera may develop. Neither side

Whitton bombs were dropped in

IROYAL EDW9JpD LOADING FOR HER LIST Tefp

LONDON, Aug. 19.-The British
transport Royal Edward has been
torpedoed and sunk by a German
submarine Announcement to this ef-
feet has been made officially. Six
hundred men were saved out OF 1850
troops and 220 other persons on
board. The sinking or the Royal Ed
ward has shattered the tradition of
the British navy of having transport
ed hundreds Of thousands of men
across the seas without the destruc-
tion of a troop laden ship. On two
previous occasions transports have
been attacked. The Wayfarer was
torpedoed by a submarine in the
Irish sea, but the vessel was not sunk
and only five lives were lost. The
Manitou was attacked by a Turkish
torpedo boat in the Aegean and. al
though the ship was not damaged,
( tifty-four lives were lost through the
breaking of a davit as a boat was be-
/ ing lowered. The loss of the Royal
/ Edward is serious one at this mo-
ment. The men il carried were not
part of a new expedition, but were
! lre-enforcements for the Twenty-ninth
division, which has been on the CALI
poll Peninsula since the FIRST landing
and which received such high praise
