Get Down To Business.

Washington, July 25.--The com mittee which will have final author. ity in conducting the independent La Toilette campaign for the presidency perfected Its organization here today and tackled its first major problems
 Robert M. LaFollette, Jr., was chosen vice-chairman of the com mittee, and Mrs. Edward P. Costigan of Colorado, secretary. Representa- tive Nelson of Wisconsin is the com mittee chairman, but he was not present at today's session.
 A canvass of the requirements of the varaious states as to ballot desig- nations disclosed that the LaFollette ticket in 20 states must be designated by some other name than "Independ- ent.'' In these states, and all others where the election laws require adop- ton of a political designation, the electors pledged to Senator LaFol- lette will be placed on the ballot un- der the uniform designation of Pro- gressive."
 In states where the names of the candidates for president and vice. president do not appear on the bal lot, the committee decided to use the designation "LaFollette-W Wheeler" or where two words cannot be used, the word "LaFollette."
 Where an emblem Is required, 1t was decided, the Liberty Bell will be used,

DENY LACK OF EFFORT
New Haven Man Says Officers of Richard Peck Did All They Could To Save Nolan

New Haven, July 25--R. H. White
 of this city, passenger on the steam.
 CT Richard Peck on the trip from | Newport to New London yesterday with a load of excursionists, denied today published stories of another passenger that officers of the steamer were dilatory in their efforts to rescue John Nolan, an oiler on the steamer, who fell overheard and was drowned near Point Judith.
 White declared that Nolan who was off duty, attempted to walk the slip pery rail and a sudden lurch of the steamer threw him overheard. In the rush for the side of the steamer at the cry of "man overheard" White says, no one thought to cast a life preserver to the man. The engines were reversed immediately White de- clsres, and the Peck headed about. Members of the crew threw life pre- servers to the man and preparations were made to lower 8 boat but Nolan when about to seize one of the life preservers, suddenly threw up his arms and sank out of sight. according to White. Men in the small boat were unable to find any trace of him, he says.
 A statement issued by the N. r., N. H. and H. railroad today also stated that the Peck was turned about after Nolan went over board and that life preservers were thrown over and a lifeboat lowered as soon as possible but Nolan had dis before he could be reached.
