LINER DESTROYED
BY TURK PLUNGER
Reported Turkish Government
Is About to Admit Sink
ing of the Steamer
Persia.

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 25.-Unof-
fetal dispatches from abroad indicat-
ing that Turkey might acknowledge
that one of her submarines sunk the
British liner Persia, promise to revise
the diplomatic features Of that district.
State department officials had no
dispatches on the subject today from
Ambassador Morgenthau. Neither had
they received any official word from
Ambassador Penfield at Vienna, trans
hitting Austria's official disavowal
OF any connection with the disaster
reported last week.
Until the intimation came that Tur-
key might assume responsibility, 1t
was generally assumed in official quar-
ters that the cause Of the sinking ci
the liner would remain unknown.
London, Jan. 24.-An Amsterdam dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph COM
pany says:
According to Berlin report the
Turkish ministry of marine is about to
publish a statement to the effect that a
Turkish submarine sank the steamer
Persia
This dispatch has not been confirmed
from other sources.
The Persia was sunk off the island
of Crete, December 80, with a loss of
119 passengers and II members of the
crew. The vessel went down within
five minutes after q terrific explosion
forward. Nobody on board claimed to
have seen a submarine.

Reasonable" Concessions.

Chicago, Jan. 25.--Republican lead
srs, members of the nation committees
subcommittee on convention arrange
ments, met here today and discussed
plans for the party convention for June

the committee members here declared
no steps in that direction would be

When the subcommittee went into

prints of the coliseum and a tentative
seating arrangement which would &C
conmodate 1880 persons, 1900 more

vention. Fred Upham, chairman Of
the Chicago convention committe; Ju-
lius Floto, architect of the building; c.
r. Hawley, manager of the big hall,
met with the subcommittee.
There appeared to be a general dis
position to forecast that all reason
able concessions would be made to as
sure harmony in the ranks OF the party
None Of the committeeman would say
whether or not the harmony plans
should extend to the nomination Of
Colonel Roosevelt as the republican
standard bearer.

way to Michigan to fill a speaking date.
He said there was no significance In his

ports of probable losses of life and
great property damage on the Cali
fornia side of the Colorado river be-
gan arriving here through refugees to-
day. The town already Is crowded
with refugees from the Arizona side of
the river.
John Seldom, the first man in from
the California side, said his house in
the Bard Indian reservation unit of the
Yuma irrigation project washed away.
He said he took refuge on the roof
and floated about in the flood waters
for six hours before being able to
reach land. While on the house he
saw man, woman and two children
float by, clinging to a buggy. Seldom
lost his live stock and said he believed
other residents of the district suffered
similar losses.
A relief party left here today bound
for the Bard reservation and other
flooded districts.
Telephone service to the Hanlon
Heading intake dam of the Imperial
valley irrigation system was out of or
der and no word from that section
was received.
The situation at Yuma is much i'm
proved. Saturday a wall of water from
one to four feet high rushed through
the town. Train service in the south
west is demoralized.

Suggestions For the
MOtorcar Driver

A tire pressure gauge is worth its
weight in gold to the motorist. as it
will save many dollars in the course
OF year. Don't guess at the pressure
In your tires. but make sure it is right.
If there is small hole in the top
do not attempt to sew it up. Your
supply dealer has a patching outfit
for just such cases. The patches match
the top In color and texture and may
be used for large or small holes, or
even a long tear.
Many motorists are content to drive
their cars ahead day after day, but
do not realize the necessity of learn
ing to back properly. Then when they
must back suddenly they hit some
thing. Practice backing until it is as
easy to you as driving forward Some
day you will have reason to be thank
full for this.
When about to coast down a long.
steep hill. especially with heavy ear.
it is well to put the gears in low speed
even though you do not intend to use
the engine as brake 1t will give
you an added sense OF security. for II
anything should happen to the brakes
you have your motor to fall back on.
and you will not have to take chances
In not being able to mesh the gears.

Many Bryan Likenesses.

Even among the militarists William
J. Bryan must have a considerable fol-
lowing at Llano Grande. Anyhow. q
great number of officers and men seem
to take care to look as much like him
as possible, and some of the likenesses
are striking.
The Third Minnesota infantry, rather
better Off in equipment than the Ne
braska and Indiana infantry regiments,
arrived late one afternoon and went
into camp In the mud wallow. AS a
class they are tall and fair, and the
roster naturally runs strongly to Jen-
sens.
To the north when the country is
dried out and practice marches are
possible the men OF that camp VIII
come upon two heaps OF bleaching
bones, reminder of the strenuous
happenings that Llano Grande and
Mercedes knew last year. The bones
and few spreads of cloth no longer
identiflable as Carranzista uniforms
are all that Is left of seventeen Mexi-
cans who crossed the river on raid
and met posse.
