Passengers Taken OF
and Big Liner FIOated

San Francisco, Apr. 1.--Having re-
ceived news that all passengers of the
liner Chiyo Maru were safely landed at
Hong Kong after the steamer ran
aground on LENA islands, local offices
Of the Togo Kisen Kaisha today anx-
iously awaited word as to the damage
done to the vessel. The Chiyo was re-
ported to have been floated, and sac
will probably be towed to Hong Kong
where an examination can be made. b
According to messages received at
the local offices, British destroyer as
sisted in removing passengers. There
was no panic.
One message here said that the re-
turn sailing Of the Chiyo Maru would
be delayed. " This gave rise to a
belief that she was not seriously dam
aged.
If it is not practicable to bring her
in to Hong Kong at once, her baggage
and cargo will probably have to be re-
moved by lighters.

Leaders See In This An At
tempt To Hand Roosevelt
the Nomination

Washington, April 1.-Republican
leaders today agreed that the luncheon
at which Robert Bacon, former sccre-
tary of state, entertained Theodore
Roosevelt, Elihu Root and others in
New York yesterday was for the an
nounced purpose of discussing prepared
ness.
Preparedness for what?" several
leaders asked, however.
Root is the man who the progressives
accuse of rushing through the program
whereby Roosevelt was defeated for the
presidential nomination at the repuh
can convention Of 1912. The fact that
Roosevelt and Root lunched together
gave rise to a report that move was
afoot to make Roosevelt the regular
republican candidate this year.
"The luncheon was interesting, and
now we are sure that the colonel will
be a candidate for the republican nomi-
nation, said Senator Gallinger today. 81
have known it for months. But he will
never succeed. The republicans will
nominate a man who can be elected.
There is a widespread feeling that
Roosevelt is not that man."
"This means that the republican
party is drawing together" declared
Senator Poindexssr. 1t will have a
patriotic and progressive platform and
really progressive leader, very like
ly the colonel himself. Henry Allen, of
Kansas; Mccormick, of Chicago, and T.
o. Disney, of Ohio, attended the lunch
con. They are real progressives "
Senator Borah said: "The meeting
looks as if there were preparedness
for peace as well as for war within the
party"

War Gun Invented Which Has
No Barrel and Uses No Powder

According to the New York World
war gun has been invented which
uses no powder and will hurl balls a
distance OF seven miles The gun is
to be tested this week by the United
States government.
The inventor was financed by Mrs.
Kathryn NJ Stanton of WIhitestone,
l.. l., The World gives the fol-
lowing details OF the new gun:
/. Has been tested III model form
with marvellous results by generals in
the United States army.
2 Uses no powder. chemicals or
springs for its discharge.
3. Has an elective range OF seven
or eight miles.
A. Shoots out eggs or glass balls
without breaking them in the dis
charge.
5. Shoots out fifty balls instantly
or one ball every hour.
8. Can wreck trenches, vessels or
aeroplanes.
I. Has no barrel.
8, Can be operated by one woman.
O. Cam plant fifty balls within a
radius Of six feet at range of mile
and half as was actually done with
a smaller model at Fort Hamilton
and Sandy Hook.
10. Can be placed on the grass and
fired without recoil.
H. Weighs about 800 pounds.
II. Can be duplicated simply quick

IAN Alien'' at
Grand Tonight

Tonight at the Grand will be pre-
sented the famous masterpiece in
nine wonderful acts" An Alien'-
a finished production in which the
actor of international fame, George
Beban, shows high order of art.
Reviewed by w Stephen Bush
"A masterpiece. This is one OF the
plays which have the universe tor
their theater and mankind for their
cast. Wide and varied as is the range
of this play, there is not, from the
first to the last, one false touch or
one, wrong move. Thomas H.. lnce,
who directed the play, deserves un-
stinted praise. This play makes it
plain that he belongs in the first
flight OF directors. After seeing An
Alien it is difficult for me to i'm
agine any task which this director
could not perform with credit to
himself and pleasure to his audience.
The story of An Alien is woven
with uncommon skill and power.
In the cast Mr. Beban dominates
and 1vershadows the rest. One
would indeed have to go back to the
performances of the greatest artists
OF the stage to find a standard and
comparison OF excellence for the
work Of Mr.. Beban in An, Alien,
and The Sign OF the Rose produc-
ton that will linger long in MEM
