PACIFIC COAST GO'S
PALATIAL STEAMER
Now Under Construction in the
East—A Modern Vessel in
Every Respect
Tin* New York Shipbuilding
company, of Camden, IS'. J., has
i»«M»n awarded I lie conlracL for
building flie first two $1,200,
oi»u iin-foot passenger .^team
ship' for the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company .service on this
coast. The same company buill
1 lie liners President and Gover
nor, and the new vessel, with her
sister ship to be constructed lat
er will he improvements on the
I wo big vessels now plying be
tween Seattle and California
ports. Pacific coast shipbuilder^
entered bids but could not com
pete with the Camden firm for the
big job.
No name has yet been selected
for fhe new liner. She will be
i 10 feet G inches over all, with
a beam of 53 feet and a load
draft of 24 feet. Thedisplacement
will be 10,000 tons, and a speed
of 21 1-2 knots i.s called for, the
twin-screw engines to develop 7,
000 horse-power. Her keel will
be laid at once, and she will bQ
ready for service a year from this
summer. Her sister ship will be
started in the near future, so that
both vessels will be ready for the
Pacific coast service by the open
ing of the 1915 exposition in San
Francisco.
Slightly larger and faster than
the President and Governor, the
new vessel will be as great an
improvement over the present
liners, as the President and Gov
ernor were over the vessels which
have preceded them in the coast
wise service. The new craft will
cost approximately $1,200,000
each, and the interior finish
throughout will be the finest,
while the general construction
will meet the retpiiremcnts of the
American Bureau of Shipping for
its highest class "A 1" for 20
years.
The plans call for vessels with
four complete steel decks and
there will be accommodations for
J00 first-class passengers, 100
second-class and 100 third-class.
It is planned to make the new
vessels compare favorably in ev
ery respect with the finest lin.M's
on the \\llantic coast.

An Abortive Attempt To Stampede Taft's Delegates Leaves
Roosevelt High and Dry—Signs Point To a Partial Bolt
of the Minority and a Second Party Picked
In the Field-Program Be Carried Out
i
Chicago, June 20.—The attempt of the Roosevelt men to name a third candi-i
date was a part of a well laid plan to defeat the nomination of Taft, butunfor-;
tunately for the conspirators, the administration forces were too well organized i
to be taken in by so simple a ruse. |
All the third men named were strong Roosevelt followers and were being tout
ed by delegates pledged to the Rough Rider. The convention is now in a temper
to go along with its business without regard to the Roosevelt forces and not car
ing what they make up their mind to do.
Should Roosevelt bolt he will not carry his following by any means. Neither
Illinois or Ohio will follow him to disrupt the Republican party.
Chicago, June 20.—II is not
the belief here that the threat
ened bolters sufficiently reprc
seht their stales as to carry them
into a bolt on election day. All
Is confusion In. the Roosevelt
camp, the leaders being appar
ently unable to agree upon any
course to pursue, although loy
al to their chief..
The ultimate end of the minor
ity is an interesting theme of
speculation. That Roosevelt has
no chances of the nomihation
from the hands.of the convention
is admitted by all, including the
many of his own supporters, who
this evening are prepared to ad
mit that there is barely a chance
even of defeating Taft.
Another Test of 8trength.
Chicago, June 20.—The vote
was not on the Hadley amend
ment. Governor Deenen offered
an amendment that no contest
ed delegates could vote on the
Hadley amehdment. A motion
was made to table this. Roll call
resulted in a victory for the ayes.
Taft gained several votes over
yesterday. There will be anoth
er hour's debate before the vote
is taken on the Hadley amend
ment. It is thought this will be
the occasion when Roosevelt will
niak(» hi* first, move towards a
Credentials.
Chicago, June 20.--The com
mittee on credentials settled the
Alabama contest ih favor of
Taft, and it is freely predicted
that the report of this commit
tee will support the action of the
national committee.
Vloe Presidential Possibilities.
Chicago, June 20.—Jamos
Sh'rYnan, John Wanamaker.Gov.
Mead, of Vermont, and Senator
MJiles Poindexter are spoken of
as vice-presidential possibili
ties.
Taft Wont Qlve Up.
Chioaffc, Juno 20.— A rumor

PrcftMoat Taft has suggested that
his name be withdrawn from the
convention.
Washington, June 20.— Presi
dent Taft emphatically denies
that he hag given anyone auth
ority to withdraw his name as
a presidential candidate.
Plana Third Party.
Chicago, June 20.—A thou
sand people remained in their
seats during the recess taken by
the convention, as it was raining
outside.
The credentials committee are
ready to report, having prepared
the list of delegates as given by
the hationai committee. The

until six minutes of 11 o'lcocj|
tomorrow. 5
Senator Poindexter,
ington, says that the Ro'&teveM
faction has plans laid for a third
pa. ty.
Roosevelt did not go to the eon-'
vent ion to make a speech.
Figuring on Course.
Chicago, June 20.—Roosevelt is
ih conference with his leaders-as
to I he future course to be pur
sued. The general trend of opin
ion i.s that the Roosevelt forces
will bol/ and nominate a ticket
of their own. The Ohio delega
tes are in favor of supporting
Hadley. The Illinois delegation
are not in favor of boltihg. The
cry for a third candidate comes
entirely from the Taft oposition
in the hope of stampeding the
majority over to a compromise
candidate. The Taft forces are
in no wise affected by the move
ment.
8ooialist Speaking.
Mrs. Lena Morrow Lewi* will

Th« Dog In the PUng«r.
Chicago, June 20.--At 2 o'clock
this morning Roosevelt announ
ced that he was through. He
hopes the- majority in the con
vention will organize and then
nominate * candidate for presi
dent. He ordarftd his mon out of
the credential committee after
the majority had refused to graot
a full hearing on all contests.
Francis Heney declares that the
action of his chief is the signal
for a bolt and that he and others
will leave the convention today.
Governor Hiram Johnson, of Cal
ifornia, says, "We are prepared
for the birth of a new Republi
can party, which will have for its
first standard bearer Theodore
Roosevelt."
Every indication points to
disruption of the Republican
party, while no .concessions will
bo made to tli*-Aoosevell wing,
the Taft men realize the precar
ious position in which the party
is being plaeed, but seemingly
prefer defeat at the polls than a
chance of victory by compromise.
The committee on rules and
order of business adjourned at
midnight and decided not to
change the olficers of the tem
porary organization.
Will Walk Out.
Chicago, June 20.—Leader
Flynn, of Pennsylvania, one of
Roosevelt's floor managers, cau,
cused with the Pennsylvania del
egation until 3 o'clock this morn
ing, and then announced that the
delegation had unanimously
agreed to walk out of the conven
tion controlled by the Taft forces.
California delegates are pre
paring a statement giving their

Hard to Let Qo.
Cicago, Juno 20.—Unexpect
edly the Roosevelt delegates on
the credential* committee ap
peared for work this morning ex
cept Flynn, who has resigned, and
his place was taken by one of his
lieutenants. The rumor has
started that Roosevelt has re
leased his delegates. Governor
Madl?y has been in conferenco
with his chief for an hour.
Delegate Post, coming direct
from Roosevelt, says that the
Colonel has not released his del
egates. This he gives as an au
thoritativ statement from Roose

amendment on the convention
floor.
Wants to Make Speech.
Chicago, June 20--It is report
ed thai Roosevelt will attend Ihe
convention and will make an at
tempt to speak.
Dark Horse Demand.
Chicago, June 20.—Soon after
adjournment a demand became
manifest for a dark horse, elim
inating both Taft and Roosevelt
from consideration. The argu
ment is made that loyalty to
party comes before loyalty to the
individual. The good of the or
ganization should be the para
mount issue. The Hadley boom
is growing. The Roosevelt party
has an option on a big hall, which
will hold a second convention if
necessary.

Fir^t. he took them on a long

Finally the trio mounted a well

Arriving at I)i-^ house, the pro

absence. That established, li•*
treated the "kissee's" lips anti
se.ptically, then asked the young
man to "up and kiss her right
smartly" on those well-washed
lip*. The kiss was timed to last
10 seconds, whereupon the learn
ed man passed a sterilized brush
over the young lady's lips and
inserted the brush in Japanese
gelatine, which was at once her
metically sealed.
Then followed a fare wash and
massage for the young lady, an

sterilization of her ruby lips.
Now, it was the inuslached
man's turn, but Ihe professor
watched him closely, stop watch

mustached man impregnated
them with various disease bacilli,
tubercular and otherwise.
