Dark Horse A Growing Favorite AS
Prospect OF The Numberless Ballots
Confronts Republicans At Chicago

Chicago, June 8.-Unique in the an
nails Of the party, the republican ma
tional convention assemblies today un-
bossed, unbridled and with no presi-
Dental candidate having enough votes
in sight to aassure his nomination.
It promises to be record-breaking
convention in all respects. 1t may cast
more ballots than any other republi-
can convention since Garfield was nom.
mated in 1880. before the party
standard bearer is named.
There is still such a complete alb
sence Of bosses as to leave the con-

spoke with authority In the days gone
by are standing on the side lines, hay

peoples convention.
1t is true that several score Of dele
gates are uninstructed either by Their
district convention or by state pri
maries, but nobody, including their
own state leaders, knows how long
they are going to stand hitched. The
air is choked with reports of delegates
conferences at which it has been
decided to stand by the favorite sons
or instructions, on enough ballots to
comply with state laws or fulfill the
good faith that goes with primary
expression of preference. For instance
one candidate issues a statement and
serves notice that he wants no com
plimentary or favorite son vote, but
ants the real thing with will tc
win. Almost at the same moment
his state delegation has a meeting and
the delegates decide among themselves
to give him all the first ballot ans
split up various ways on the others.
The situation presents an opportun
ity for some shrewd leader to steI
forward at the psychological moment
and invite stampede. Practical poll

SHOE PRICES CUT DEEP
by BIG MANUFACTURERS
REDUCT| IONS DATE FROM
JUNE |, APPLYING NOW

st. Louis, June Following
an announcement, made early this
morning by shoe manufacturers,
that sweeping reduction in
wholesale prices on shoes Of from
% cents to 50, per pair, it is
stated that the reductions will
anti-date the announcement.
The reductions are on all ship
ments made after June l., It was
explained and are retroactive to
autumn orders placed prior to
June 13.
A material decline in the retail
prices Of shoes is expected as a
result Of the reductions, it was
said.
The companies announcing the
reductions are the International
Shoe Company, the Hamilton
Brown Shoe Company, and the
Brown Shoe Company. Officials
Of three establishments emphasiz-
ed that the news prices were not
the result of an agreement by the
three firms.
A. c. Brown, president Of the
Hamilton-Brown Company, assert
ed that tight money" and the
resultant difficulty OF tailors to
borrow money, was the chief
cause Of the lowered prices. Re-
duced prices on certain grades of
leather was assigned as a contrib
utory cause.

The whole crew of the Solovei and
all her passengers, 81 altogether, had
gathered on deck and were greeted by
us with a resounding hurrah, to which
they responded In the same way.
Their JOY is not easy to describe, To
drift without aim, almost without
hope, in the darkness and cold of the
Polar night, with bad and insufficient
food. In cold and unclean quarters,
and In constant dread Of getting so
far north that rescue would be i'm
possibie-that is an ordeal so hard
that 1t Is not every one who would
come through 1t entirely unscathed.
Immediately after we arrived the
captain Of the Solovei and his wife
and all the passengers, seven In num-
Der. came on board. They were invit-
ed into the saloon and treated to re-
freshments, which they evidently ap-
preciated. One of them said 1t was
like coming into paradise after their
anxieties. The passengers asked leave
to transfer to the Sviatogor as they
were greatly exhausted and needed
medical attention and better diet and
l was glad to be able to grant their
request. Then we set to work to put
provisions and coal on board the Solo
vel, so that the crew could at once
prepare proper meal with something
better to eat and drink than they had
had in the last few months.

Second Relief Ship Arrives.

About four o'clock in the morning
we were awakened by loud hurrahs
from the crew of the Solovei, who
were hailing the arrival of the Kama
da, which had at last also got through.
Had the Kanada not been so fortunate
as to get into the lane made In the
ice by the Svlatogor, it would have
been hardly possible for her arrive
so soon. Next day we shipped more
coal and provisions on board the Solo
vel, and were helped with hearty good
will by the crews of the two Russians.
This done we started in the after
noon Of June 20 on our homeward voy-
age, the Sviatogor leading and the
Solovei and Kanada following. At
first the ice was loose and fairly easy
to get through, but afterwards it be-
came closer and more difficult to force.
There was fog, too, which made It i'm
possible to keep proper observation Of
the ice conditions. Consequently we
often had to stop fairly long time
especially as the fog prevented the
other two ships from keeping with us.
1t was evening on the 21st when we
reached the Kara sea entrance, and
there we were again obliged to stop
for thick fog.
We resumed our voyage at 2 o'clock
next morning steering for the mid
die of the Kara strait, but at ESQ
p. m. were unlucky enough to ground
on an unknown sandbank. We at once
began to tranship coal to the Soloyei
and Kanada In order to get the
Sviatogor afloat again, and after un-
loading $50 tons Of coal we at last got
her off. A diver from the Kanada ex-
amined the ships bottom and pro-
nounced the damage not serious. So
we continued our voyage to Bielushya
bay, where we handed over more pro-
visions and supplies to the Russians
and took on coal from the Harde for
our voyage back to England.
After a cordial leave-taking from
our friends on the Solovei and, Kama
da these vessels left us on June 90.
shaping their course for Archangel.
On July 1 we had completed our coal
ing and next day at p. m. we began
our homeward voyage.
