thoroughly United States" and whose
election would mean the return of
the true spirit of Americanism."

WEEKS, PENROSE
WON'T KISS BABY
OR SHAKE HANDS

Chicago, June 6.-By the solemn
vows of various aspiring gentlemen
this political gathering today stands
out as the first shaking, anti
baby kissing, -slappingless con-
vention in American history.
Senator Weeks and Senator Penrose
have promised to keep their hands in
their pockets and have instructed all
their retinues to do the same. Not a
baby will be kissed Nary a mother
will be chucked under the chin Even
the folks at home won't be asked after
Weeks and Penrose led the procession
and other candidates headquarters
said "hurrah,' and followed. The rea-
son is that the candidates consider,
and admit that they consider. all such
performances the veriest fiubdub, bun
combe and piffle, in addition to being
confounded nuisance.
Shaking thousands of hands is q
hard days work and nothing gained"
one said. "and kissing babies isn't SO
blamed delightful as it might be-"

the cruiser Hampshire off the
Orkney Islands.
Crowds gathered in Whitehall,
about the postoffice, seeking
further details following the for
NAL announcement of the loss of
the war lord. The flag on the
war office was at half staff and
the blinds of the offices were
drawn. The crowd received no
further information, and the air
of the officials indicated clearly
that they had no hope that
Kitchener might have escaped.

London, June 6.-The loss of

conqueror of the Soudan, with
his entire staff, when the cruiser
Hampshire was sunk off the
Orkney Islands by a mine or tor
pedo, was officially announced
by the admiralty today.
The news of England's great

which has stunned London, al
ready hardened to shocks, was
issued in a formal bulletin.

of Kitchener and his staff was

There has been no mention in
the cables or the wireless of the

not indicate the circumstances
under which the Hampshire was
sunk, but later the admiralty's

Chicago, June 6.-Political leaders
who profess to be willing to accept
any man for the presidential nomina-
ton who is able to command the sup
port of both Republicans and Progress
sives are trying today to determine
whether Justice Hughes has been
strengthened or weakened by the tenn
porary concentration Of all forces up
on him with the avowed purpose of
Republican possibility.
The effect of the Hughes drive has
been to place the whole field of can
didates against him according to some.
Conferences between Republican
and Progressive leaders which lasted
far into the night were resumed early
today, but it was not believed that
to clarity the situation within the next
several hours AT least for that length
of time no decided change seemed
imminent.
Talk of Lbdge.
The two latest elements to be
brought into consideration today were
Justice Hughes speech in Washington
yesterday touching upon Americanism
and discussion of Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts,, as a compromise can
didate for the Republican nomination,
likely to command the support of
Colonel Roosevelt.
Justice Hughes supporters pointed
to his speech as a substantial declara-
ito on the question of Americanism
and contended that it cleared up the

GREAT PRACTICE
 GAME HELD--NEW
 PLAYERS APPEAR

Over hundred made the trip to the Last Chance Basin ball grounds yesterday afternoon to watch the boys go through their first practice. Yesterday, being the first regular practice held this year. many of the fans could not resist and iourneyed out. although they knew that no game would be played.
 All of the regular bunch was out. as we'll as seven or eight new men who have never been on the Juneau field before. It will be necessary to- choose at least two men for the team from among the new corners, as well as all of the subs"
 Among those who were out and who showed especial merit of the new bunch might be mentioned Mo- Donald, Mcknight, Stewart and Mar tin.
 Those of the old players who were out yesterday were King. Fossas, Hurlbutt Baxter, Fry, Cloudy and Granger. The boys held an excel lent practice and will get in shape to play regular ball in very short notice. Most of them are already in shape and only need little bat ting practice.

SLItes' Shop Window"

The best thing about "Life's shop ment of two nights at the Orpheum Window" which began an engage last night. is the new impersonation given by Stuart Holmes. Juneau movie patrons have previously seen him as the gentlemanly william. the man who sneaks into milady's bower when the husband Is absent, and who ln other ways. tries to break up mar tial relations. In the blll now at the Orpheum. he has dropped his moustache and plays the part of the devoted husband. And he does it well. Claire Whitney looks like Mary Pickford. In fact she might be called Marys double. She is good in her part which many scenes are lmposslble-in real life. The play is about the most impossible one ever put together on the screen. Too much is left to the imagination. Sit nations are broken too abruptly and too many absolutely absurd sItu- atlons. amound.
