TO Reap Benefits.

PHILADELPHIA. June 3-Through the
efforts Of the Philadelphia Bourse a
power barge service " Philadel-
phia and New York via the Delaware
and Fsaritan Canal has begun operation
after a lapse of many years. The SER
vice Is called the Blue "B" Line. and
offers daily sailings between the "
cities. Interested in the Blue b are
many Of the largest industrial and eN-
porting establishments Of this city, az
well as department stores.
Primarily designed to relieve the ship
pers of the delays and handicaps caused
by the congestion Of railroad freight
traffic between the two cities those In
terested intend that the line shall be
permanent. Scores Of firms have prom
ised their support and e. T.. II. Brels-
ford. who is treasurer and general man
,ger Of the BLU "B," has announced
that the line later will add to the present
feet and construct its own power barges'
At present four chartered bargcs are In
use. with an average capacity OF l25
tons each.
The Philadelphia terminal is at Pier
3. North .Wharves. at the foot OF Arch
street, while the New YORK terminal Is
at Pier /. East River. Mr.. BrelNord Is
the Philadelphia agent. with Office al
the pier The New York agents are w.
and s. Job Il Co.. 90 broadway.
One boat lea YES the Philadelphia
terminal al 4 o'clock each afternoon, ex-
cep, Sunday another leaves New York
at the same time. Fifteen hours Is the
running schedule. and each boat Will
dock at Z o'clock the next morning after
sailing. Barges leaving Philadelphia
also stop for New York bound freight at
DiSeton's Wharf. Tacony and Devlin's
Wharf. Burlington, y. J. Later a stop
probably will be made at Roebling. y. j.
The rates Of the Blue "R." 1t is ex-
planned. are the same as those OF the
| railroads. An express teamster service
is maintained at each terminal. FOR
which an additional charge Is made.
The barges also will act az lighters In
New York harbor. so that a ~Philadelphia
, firm doing an export business may have
It's freight loaded directly on vessels
from the barge.
Several months ago Mr.. Brelsford laid
the project before the Philadelphia
, Bourse. which in turn interested Phila

TO GO TO CHICAGO

Presence Should Be
Demanded.
KEEPS HIS EAR TO PHONE

OYSTER BAY, June 3.-Col Roosevelt
denied to-day the report that he had
written a letter to a Down East pro-
g~ressive committeeman agreeing TO
accept the Bull Moose nomination for
President. He made the denial in char
acteristic fashion, saying that the story
was true except in these ~unimportant
details That there was no such COM
mitteeman. that he had written no such
letter. and that no such letter was pub
lished. According to the report from
Chicago. the letter Is to he published
to-day or tomorrow. The Colonel
greeted this news with n smoker.
He realizes, however. the truth OF the
reports that IL the dictionaries control
the Republican convention and attempt
to nominate a reactionary. the Progress
sives may be beyond the restraining In
fuence OF him or of George W. Perkins
or any other Bull Moose leader. This
situation has been brought to the COL
onel's attention frequently during the
developments Of the past month.
The possibility OF Col. Roosevelt going
to chicago is still conJectural. but II Is
believed he will be there. lie repeated
to-day what he has been saying all
along. that he expects TO remain at
Sycamore Hill unless some unforeseen
emergency arises which would demand
his presence in Chicago. Meantime he

group, but Col. Mike Dady is for Gen.

Is a crony Of Col. Roosevelt may have
ito W Significance.
Even Talk Of Fairbanks.
In confidence, n o for quotation under
their names. a surprising number Of dele
gates predict that neither Hughes nor
Roosevelt will be nominated. These
doubters are OF that class who argue
that a middle Western man will have
to be chosen to break a deadlock. Some
say that man will be Burton. some Fair
b~anks-there are delegates on the train
who say Fairbanks will be nominated.
only three delegates are rated as
being willing TO vote for Roosevelt. They
are Lou Payh Of Colombia county. who
Is in Chicago. and Francis W. Hendricks
and Willard A.. Riil OF Onondaga.
Pro or anti Hughes, all the New York
pilgrims are watching with suppressed
eagerness the curse Of Gov. whitman.
Even the Governors friends admit
that he may he stalking his political for

nomination for President the Governor

get the nomination. so the argument
goes.

The New York delegation will have a
caucus in the F%1orentine room Of the
Congress Hotel at S o'clock on Tuesday
night. They will then elect a delega-
ton chairman and n national committee
man. II Is asserted that Gov. Whitman.
with at least siNty-two votes. will he
elected chairman against any one Mr.,
Barnes chooses to designate. II is also
said by the Governors friends that
Herbert Parsons will be elected national
committeeman for New York by abou
the same majority. The delegates are
wondering II Barnes will fight. either
for his own reelection or for Senator
Wadsworth. whom he is supposed to
favor for the Job.
The number OF delegates who left New
York city m the special train war
smaller than in other years. Recruits
are getting on at upstate stops. Maybe
the rain causes the general feeling OF
depression. maybe rs something else.

ON BOARD CONVENTION SPECIAL,
SYRACUSE. June "A puzzled. uncertain
lot Of delegates left New York at IL 40
o'clock this afternoon. They haven't
got as far as figuring u who will be
nominated at Chicago. Their chief
worry is over their own course Of ac-
ton. For the first time In the memory
Of the younger pilgrims at least a New
York delegation to a national Republic
can convention does not know where II
stands.
Gov. Whitman Ia scheduled TO hoard
this train at Buffalo at II 80 tonight
with ~reassuring Information as to the
progress of the Hughes propaganda.
Meanwhile none OF the big leaders Of
the party are on hand to counsel and
st,fYen the ranks. Three Of the big four.

and state, Chairman Tanner. have pre-
ceied the crowd to Chicago. So have

figures. In their absence. despite the
obiquity OF County Chairman koenig
OF New York and the Brooklyn allies.
Jacob Livingston and Jacob Bremen,
| the delegates are virtually all privates
with no one TO drill them.
Thus far no exact poll OF the dele
CATION has been taken. Both the
| Hughes and the Root partisans claim a
| majority Of the eighty-seven men who
will speak for New York state In Chi

less than a majority.
Three r. X. Missionaries.
Three busy Roosevelt missionaries are
on the train-ex-Alderman Courtlandt
Nicoll. ex-senator ]. Mahon Wainwright
and ex-senator Agnew. They are not
delegates. but the train was open to any
one OF good character. They are on
board.
After the train left New York city
piles of copies OF preparedness speeches
which col. Roosevelt made at Detroit
and Kansas City were left In the OBJ
servation car. Judging from the number
Of these pamphlets now scattered through
the fifteen cars many OF the delegates
have not scorned this sort Of reading

to prevent the execution in Sing Sing
tomorrow of Stanley j. Mil1stein. a
nineteen year-old boy. convicted of
killing policeman at Utica. The Presi-
dent. however. will do nothing to in
terfere, having taken the position that
he has no legal right. or other rights
to prevent sovereign state from exc
cutting the sentences of its courts. In

A TRUE STORY.

The Milwaukee Free Press, which
is published by syndicate of brave
Germans in Milwaukee. Wis, which
has always rung true on the race
problem, has this to say in its last
issue:
When President Wilson permitted
his Southern cabinet members to in
troduce the segregation of Negro en-
ployes in their departments, he gave
the cue that emboldened the South
to apply policy to Negro residents
in it's cities.
Prior to the presidents Endorsement
of the segregation principle no South
ern community would dare so to flout
democracy, idealism and justice as to
establish a pale for its colored citi'
zens. But once Woodrow Wilson sur
rendered to "lily white" prejudice in
his administration and consented to
drawing the color line in the federal
departments-wh no one had
dreamed or desired such for half a
century-one Southern city aftel
another enacted restrictive legislation
designed to curtail the legal and civil
equality of the black man which the
Civil war was fought to assure.
