trio shock in the station of the Sag

The Tanning was one of a fleet of
war vessels which mas been maneuver-

to the power station TWO hours before
the fleet was to sail and said he was
government inspector. He pushed
Christian aside and. walking into the
station. picked up two wires receiving
the shock that killed him.
Lieut.. J. C. Jennings. commanding
the shore station, VINO took charge of
the body declined to give any irfor-
maticn other than he would report to

TO SMOKE HUGHES OUT
Wisconsin Delegates Have Plan They
Hope Will Work.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 26.-The
Wisconsin nti-LaFollette delegates to
the Republican national convention
have taken a step which is expected
to result in forcing a statement from
Justice Hughes on his attitude toward
the presidential nomination.
The IL conservative delegates voted
to cast their ballots for Hughes, If
his position on national policies is
satisfactory
1t is presumed that this action will
be understood as a delicate a sugges
ton to Hughes that he ought to Ie-
clare himself, that he make some kind
of a statement through friends of his
attitude toward various problems of
the day
The Wisconsin delegates do not
want to have their action taken as
anything but the most friendly step
toward his candidacy, but they be-
lieve the manner in which this sug-
gestion of a sta tement is phrasad will
make it possible for him to declare
himself without being in the position
he so much fears of involving the su-
preme bench in politics.

Wilson has confided to his advisers it
was learned today that he hopes to
make an address before the League to
Enforce Peace here tomorrow night

ended, it is understood he will also
touch upon the immediate situation

nations, backed by a common police
force to maintain the peace of the
world. --s4-
