Men Look Tired.
The Crane company, large ma

over 5000 men, occupies several red
stone buildings that look out onto
vast lawns of neatly kept grass. One
wonders why the buildings were set
in so far from the sidewalks. Per-
haps so that no one walking on the
street and even standing on the other
side of the sidewalk could see the men
at their work.
There are three entrances thru
which the men pour into the factory
at Z o'clock every morning and from
which they emerge at AIS every af-
ternoon. The mad rush to punch the
clock on time in the morning is later
followed by a listless stream pouring
out Of the building and heading for
cars and elevators. Fatigue is visibly
written all over the faces and bearing

 COMES AFTER VOTE
CONVENTION HALL, Cleveland,

CONVENTION HALL, Cleveland, Ohio, June 12.-Riding s rumbling tide of party enthusiasm, Calvin Coolidge was swept into nomination for the presidency today by one of the largest majorities ever given at a republican convention.
 Before the first and only roll call was half completed, the story of his victory had been told as state by state the votes of Coolidge delega- tions from east, west, North and south were thrown to his support.
 No Other Presented
 No other name was presented for mally to the convention, but 2S of the % Wisconsin votes and six from North Dakota were cast for Robert M. LaEOl- lette and 10 of the South Dakota dele gates followed out their primary in- gtructions and voted for Hiram John son.
 The totals were as follows:
 Coolidge, 1,083. A.s "a ;
 L.aFollette, 34; Johnson, 10.
 Necessary to choice, 666.
 When the result was announced the Convention recessed in a tornado of cheering until late in the Afternoon when it reassembled to select Mir. Cool idge's running mate.
 BodIam Breaks Forth
 Mfr. Coolidge's name was presented to the convention by, Dr. Marion Leroy Burton of the University of Michigan and upon the conclusion of his nomi- hating speech the delegates went into a 15-minute, old-time demonstration in which state standards were torn from their fastenings and carried on howl ing stream of humanity around and around the big convention hall.
 Dr. Burton, former resident of the Presidents home of Northampton, spoke on behalf of Massachusetts, and the nomination was seconded by Yer mont, California, Kansas, Oregon, Illl- nois, New Jersey, North Carolina and New York. Long before the fl0odgates of oratory had been closed the delegates were clamoring for a vote and when they had an opportunity they made quick work of the balloting.
 It was 10 40 o'clock when Chairman Mondell began rapping for order.
 Bishop Offers Prayer
 The chairman couldn't get order, but the strains of "The Star Spangled Ban ner' quited the disorder and brought the delegates to quiet. Then Bishop Schrembs of the Roman Catholic dio- cese of Cleveland offered prayer.
 After the prayer the song leader got into action again and led the convention in singing America"
 Chairman Mondell then recognized Senator Wadsworth of New York, who took the platform and got a demon stration from all parts of the hall. He told the conEention he had been directed by his delegation to offer a resolution

SAN PEDRO, June 1.-Two premature explosions killed three offers and 43. men of the battle ship Mississippi today and injured a score of others, and the meance of death still bounded the crippled dreadnaught tonight as she left her dead and injured behind and headed out to sea to protect harbor life and shipping from the peril of a third imminently expected blast.
 The first explosion occurred at i p.m., while the Mississippi was engaged in target practice off San Clemente Island, 45 miles from here, spreading death among the SS men in No. 2 turret.
 Officers said the premature blast might have been due to a sailor giving the signal for the electric flash igniting the charge in one of the turret's fl inch rifles before the breach was proT erly closed or it may have resulted froI flare back" caused when a fires charge was -beiag loaded -into E breech.
 Second Blast Follows
 AS the stricken ship reached the goal of it's race for surgical assistanee-the hospital ship Relief, just inside the breakwater here-a second blast rocked the vessel. The charge in the damaged turrets second 14-inch rifle exploded, hurliAg the steel projectile out to sea and narrowly missing the prov of the passenger liner Yale. which was leav- ing the harbor for San Diego.
 Had the turret, which was revolving at the time the first explosion occurred, remained in the same position until the second blast, the projectile would have crashed into the center of the city of San Pedro.
 When the mine sweepers failed in an attempt to unload the third of the three rifles containing a yet unexploded charge, the battleship put out to sea again, it's dead and injured having been removed, so that in the event the last gun should hurl forth it's load of steel there would be less danger of the pro- jectile striking other ships or structures ashore.
 Hardly had the echo of the first blast died away when the dreadnaught's prov swung around and the big ship raced full steam ahead toward port. In the wireless room radio snapped out the news to the hospital ship, Relief at anchor in the harbor 45 miles away.
 Aboard the Relief, men and surgeons sprang into action. Decks and .operat- ing rooms were clearel for the recep- ton of the injured
