Tennessee, Largest
Bottleship Afoot, Is
Commissioned TO-DAY

New York. June 8. = The sluer-
dreadnaught Tennessee. the largest
and most formidable battleship afloat
goes into commission today at the
Brooklyn navy yard. Formal cere-non-
les were set for 2:s0 O'Clock. Con-
structed here at cost of $40, ,OOe. 600
she represents the last word in bat
tleship architecture. She is s25 feet
long. and has beam of 80 feet and
displacement of 32.500 tons.
She is the next thing to a pleasure
yacht in the comfort of her appoint
ments for officers and men, and is
the first battleship to recruit her en-
tire personnel from the state from
which it takes its name.
The special feature which distin-
guishes the Tennessee from all other
units of the United States navy, is the
highly organized fighting BRAIN en-

All are Asked to
Assist Shriners
Here on Visit Day

A rather unusual situation has de-
veloped in regard to the stores closing
on Shriner day, Wednesday, June 20.
The Business Mems league. in voting
to close stores that day, did so for the
express purpose Of placing at liberty
all those who work in stores in order
that all might heipsin the entertain
ment of the 5000 Shriners and their
wives
1t developed Thursday that, taking
advantage of the holiday given by the
store owners, a number of clerks and
others were planning to leave the city
on picnics. That instead of staying in
the city to aid in entertaining the vis-
itors, and incidentally giving the city a
live appearance many were planning
to leave the city.
In discussion of the situation, a
prominent business man said that the
stores were to close, not that people
might run away'from the visitors, but
that all might be given an opportunity
to assist. There will be thousands TO
serve with luncheon at the state house
grounds and this will require organized
effort.
But the main feature of the holiday
granted by stores, Is that everyone In
town should remain In the city that
day. While each may not be asked to
take prominent part, It Is to be un-
derstood rather that the holiday was
given. not for picnics, but that each
may remain in the city ready to render
any service If called upon.
Wednesday, June 23, is not holi-
day in any sense but just time when
the business interests OF the city feel
that from a community interest. clerks
should not be obliged to stay in stores
but should be given the opportunity to
at least remain subject to call. And
incidentally give the capital city the
appearance of being the liveliest capt.
tai city in the United States.

consists of three decks and their
lighting complement is rs men.
BY special signaling devices. reports
from this fighting top can be flashed
instantly to all parts of the ship. This

her to quickly change from her ca

imperceptible motion.
Her size makes possible spacious

She has a handsomely furnished club
room and library for enlisted men.
She has a printing shop with lino-

a daily newspaper will be printed. The

Thursday morning appeared before
the board with request that a selling
price to state institutions be estab-
lislIed. Other state institutions In the
sale Of any surplus produces to state
institutions receive the market price.
Warden Compton insisted that the
state prison should be accorded the
same privilege, especially since the in
come from the sale of the brick goes
into the institutions repair fund which
is now very much in demand.
Governor Olcott was inclined to
agree with Compton. but both Secre-
tary Of State Kozer and State Treas
urer Hoff objected on the ground that
a state institution should have the ad-
vantage of a lower price. Putting his
contention into expression Kozer
moved that the price of the prison.
made brick be set at actual cost OF
manufacture plus thirty-three ana
one-third per cent. The motion was
seconded by Hoff and carried.
This price, it is explained will make
the prison product cost the state insti-
tutions approximately only one-half of
the market price of brick.

Recognized by

Chicago, June S.-By unanimous
resolution today the republican ma
tional committee directed Chairman
Hays to notify all state Organizations
that they must discontinue holding
local conventions for election of ma
tional delegates, in places where ''it
is the custom and practice to refuse
admission to negroes"
The committee attempted to avoid
the race issue but failed. Aroused by
the number of contests from the south
ern states in which it was shown that
district conventions were. held in ho-
tells and other places where negroes
are not admitted. Charles B. Warren,
committeeman from Michigan moved
to have the committee tissue a warn
ing to the south,' that contests on
similar grounds must not be permit
ted to come up at the next national
convention.
Southern committeeman headed by
w. H. Jackson OF Georgia protes. ed
that the resolution as formed was
slur on the south and contended that
specific mention Of the southern states
should ge eliminated and its terms
broadened to refer to the entire COM
mittee. Colonel Warren accepted an
amendment to that effect and 1t was
unanimously adopted by a viva voce
vote. In support of his resolution. Col
pnel Warren told the committee that
it might as well face the race issue
in that way for the good Of the par
ty. Committeeman Hert Of Kentucky
supporte dthe motion and declared
that since Kentucky Of its own act
ion had admitted negro voters and
delegates freely, the republican cleo
torate had been greatly increased.
The southern committeeman made no
objection to the resolution as 1t was
amended to eliminate specific refer
ence to the southern states
