Bryan, rival candidates for the presidency of the* United States, met in Chicago at the fourth annual banquet of the Chicago’ Association of Commerce. It was strictly a non-partisan affair, politics being absolutely barred. Earlier in the day Fudge Taft addressed the Lakes-to-Gulf Waterway convention, and Thursday morning Mr. Bryan made a speech before the same body. President Roosevelt announced that he would make no speeches in support of the candidacy of William H. Taft for the presidency, as there was no necessity for such action. ; Revival of the rumors that President Roosevelt will make speeches in support of the Republican national ticket were met by this statement from the White House: “The president has, no intention at present of taking the stump in behalf of Mr. Taft.” Chairman Mack of the Democratic national committee attacked George R. Sheldon, Republican national treasurer, because of his alleged relations with the trusts, and it developed that ‘he was preparing to open up on W. M.

The recent announcemeént that the navy department contemplates sending the submarines now at Buzzards Bay, Mass.,, to the far east on their own bottoms attracted a great deal of attention. That such a trip is practical is not for a moment doubted; indeed it 1s poinged out that for a very considerable portion of such a trip the vessels could operate under their own power, resorting to the towline only in very bad weather or in the event of an engine becoming disabled. With a well equipped parent ship as the Castine will be when the work now being done at Portsmouth is completed, such a trip would offer few more dangers than the trip from New York to Norfolk last winter, when for days officers and men went without rest and with no food- save cold meat and bread and a few frankfurter sausages and coffee it was possible: to cook on the tiny electric stove each boat is equipped: with. : That trip ended with all hands nearly exhausted but ready to repeat the task after 24 hours’ rest. “I never really appreciated Josie Sadler’s desire for ‘a decent sleep,”” gaid one of the officers who made the trip, “until it was over.” ~ On that trip what little sleep the men had was in cramped quarters, where the bare deck, and not much of that, was all that was available, and the cold made sleeping difficult, the lack of heating apparatus of any sort in the boats making the temperature about that of the water. One feature of that trip was a heavy snowstorm, and it is not thought probable much more severe weather would be met on the longer journey. On the longer trip it would ueually, at least, be possible for the men to be fed from and sleep on tenders when the boats were running under their own power. The tenders could also care for those who may be made sick by the gases from the gasoline engine. These fumes, or carbon monoxide, are deadly in their' effect, and in short runs partially submerged when the gasoline motor 18 used it is not uncommon for men to be rendered unconscious fer periods of 20 to 30 minutes. When consciousness does return the victim suffers an intense headache and pains in the stomach.

Interest in submarines has not been confined to those who work boats either for profit or pleasure. But few persons outside the navy have been privileged to inspect one of these deepsea divers as the service regulations forbid allowing visitors on them. 4 Work on these boats begins early in the morning. Usually before seven o'clock all the men have had their breakfasts on the tender and gone over the side to the smaller boats to relieve the one man of the 12 or 14 assigned to each who has remained on watch on board all night. With them goes after commanding officer. The anchor, of mushroom design, which swings from a chain run through the center of the boat, is hoisted and deep water is headed for. The boat is now almost awash, that is to say, only a few feet of her sides, the tiny deck and conning tower are out of water. Below the men are at their stations, caring for the eéngines

SHOWMAN KNEW HIS BUSINESS

Meant Commercial Loss Should Attraction Be Converted. James H. Birch has organized in New York a new club, the Circumnavigators. No one who has not made a complete circuit of the world is eligible for membership. Mr. Birch, a great traveler, was talking about travel in Burlington. The cannibalism that once prevailed among the South Sea islanders suggested a eannibal story to him, and he said: “A man once went to the circus. Near the main entrance to the circus there was a side show, and a vast and brilliant oil painting portrayed in all its horrors a cannibal feast—corpses cooking over fires—nude nattves squatted in a circle, holding to their mouths grilled forearms, hands, and such like delicacies. A genuine cannibal, the poster said, was to be seen withia, : “Paying a dime, the man entered. The cannibal, very lghtly clad, sat with crossed Jlegs on a divan, lan-

or looking over valves. To the layman it seems as though there were almost as many valves as rivets. They are everywhere. Where there are not valves there is machinery or piping, axd &m Gocasional tool box. ' Forward, under the deck, are the huge gasoline’ tanks, holding 3,000 gallons of this highly explosive fuel. Amidships and under foot are the great storage batteries. Aft is the propelling machinery, the electric motors for driving the screw while submerged and steering, the six-cylinder gasoline motor of 500-horse power, used in operating when on the surface; the dynamos for charging the batteries and the air compressor. All these were all right when the crew left the night before, but machinery sometimes does strange things over night, and each part is looked over carefully. °© Meanwhile, from the conning. tower or from the deck, the commanding officer is directing the boat’s ‘course by the aid of an instrument about the size of a dollar watch, which at a distance it much resembles. On it are buttons for signals to the engines and two more to steer by. Pressure on one sends the boat to port, on the other to starboard. When neither: is pressed the vessel goes on a straight course. This watchlike affair controlg the electric motor which operates the steering gear, and a long flexible cable makes it possible to steer from any part of the boat. ,‘ i

When the point at which it is decided to submerge is reached water is gradually admitted to the tanks in the boat and she settles until she is awash. The -hatches have previously been tightly closed, then the conning tower is closed and made tight and a seaman takes the electric steering device, while hig officer goes below to direct the work of submerging. In his position amidship he has his periscope directly in front of him. To his left are gauges showing the angle of the diving rudder as well as the wheel by which it is operated and - two large dials showing depth of water. ‘Forward and on either side men are stationed at valves.

The first thing done is to trim the boat—that is to say, get her balanced on an even keel, that she may be handled properly. Water is slowly admitted to the main tank, then to the trimming or balancing tanks. Sometimes too much is taken in. Then the excess is blown out by air under 2,000 pounds pressure until the exact balance is acquired. : To those in the boat-there is a remarkable lack of movement, of vibration there is very little. One feels that he is in a room without windows, and when the “lights out” order comes the sensation is exactly Jthe same as when one finds himself suddenly left in darkness in a strange house. The whining of the engines alone gives evidence of life about, s»é sne is glad when the current is turned oxn again. It is cool in the boat, too, so cool that the hull begins to sweat great drops of water that landing on a nervous man’s neck makes him shiver, e After a few miles under water the orders necessary to rise are given. First water is blown from one tank, then from another, till at last the top of the periscope is above the water. Below, by its aid, the officer has a clear view of all about him. Often these trips eonsume hours. The Octopus, Lieut. Courtney, has often remained submerged for half a day, traveling from the torpedo station at Newport in a channel always frequented by commerce to a point as far ‘away as Brenton’s reef and return with only an occasional rise to use the periscope. On these trips he never had an ‘accident, though at times the channel on the surface was filled with sailing vessels.

e e e et guldly toying with a spear. His teeth were filed. » “Thg visitor was 2 man of markedly religious temperament, and he gazed at the cannibal with horror. “‘lg this really a cannibal?” he asked the showman. : “‘You bet he is,’ the showman an. swered. ‘Do you kmew how he was captured? That great living curiosity was captured, sir, in the act of boiling an aged Baptist minister over a slow fire’ “‘Then convert him,’ the visitor cried. ‘Oh, my friend, why don’t you convert him? ; “The showman made & gesture of disgust. : “‘Convert him? he said. ‘Do you think the public would pay a dime a head to see a Christian?

BITY'S BUSIEST MAN

MULTIFARIOUS ACTIVITIES OF CAPITOL SUPERINTENDENT.

At Least Fifteen Places of Responsibility Filled by Elliott Woods—Music His Chief Recreation—How : He Spends His Days. : Washington.—“l do not know how Elliott Woods could be overworked unless he was hitched double with a mule,” “Uncle Joe” Cannon recently remarked to the superintendent of the capitol, recognized as the busiest man in Washington. Woods is heels over head in work every winter, but it is in the hottest part of the summer that his energy has the most strenuous calls made upon it, so that everything may be in shape for the reconvening of congress and that all the plans made by the national legislators may be faithfully carried out. S . Woods has four separate offices and fills at least 15 places, all of which have responsibilities and require his official attention. His engagement book is more voluminous and comprehensive than that of the most popular debutante. First of all, he is in charge of the whole capitol and the new office buildiugs of the senate and house. He belongs to all the commissions appointed by congress to look after the selection of sites and construction of monuments and memorials. He is engaged in drawing up the plans of the proposed Lincoln memorial, the plans for the new buildings for the departments of state, justice and commerce and labor, and he is also working on the design for the new pediment to be placed on the west wing of the capitol. Besides, he is the superintendent in chaige of the installation of the undergroynd railroad from the capiol to the various office buildings, and he also has fo decide what sort of contrivance shals be used to make it possible for

/ e | WL / Pho M WP

members of the house seated in their offices to hear all that is being said on the floor of the house. ; It is Woods who is responsible fdr the greenness and freshness of the capitol lawns and terraces; he is the author of all improvements inside the building; he is at the head of the work on the new heating, lighting and power plant, which will cost $1,500,000, and he is also in charge of the work on the $200,000 addition to the District of Columbia | courthouse. All these things he does with the greatest modesty and good humor. He never loses his temper, is never too busy to greet a friend or answer a curious observer, and he never makes remarks about the hot weather, although much of his time is spent in the broiling sun and on the softened asphalt. He is an early riser, of necessity rather than inclination. A cup of coffee about six o’clock is his breakfast, and there immediately ensues a mad rush for his first office, which is in a building by itself to the south of the capitol. He used to drive horses on his daily rounds, but the beasts were not endowed with his energy, so they have long since been replaced by an automobile which usually exceeds the speed limit some miles. After he has heard the early morning complaints, read all the mail and given his daily orders to the assistants at his first office, he visits his ‘“den” in the house office building. There he hurries the completion of that splendid structure and betakes himself to his third headquarters in the senate office building. ‘His fourth stop is his main office in the capitol. He reaches here about one o'clock, after a morning which has sped all too rapidly. Some time between one and two o’clock, when he has a spare five minutes, he eats luncheon. He does not attempt predigested foods, but eats five minutes’ worth and then stops.... : The rest of the day:he is supervising the work that is going on about him, talking to the numerous visitors that besiege him, being nice to foreign architects who view the capitol and making his plans for the next day. After a good dinner his chief recreation is music. He has composed some creditable strains and hopes to have a complete opera of his own proeduced next winter. The piano lis his forte, but he plays the violin and several other instruments with sure facility. He has his own wireless telegraph station on topy of the capitol hill, and amuses himself by keeping in touch with all the naval stations on the Atlantic coast as well as chatting with ships at sea. Woods is six feet tall and carries proper flesh for his height. He looks to be about 30 years old, but was actually assistant to the architect of the capitol nearly that long.

But One Oil Painting of Boone. ‘There never was but one oil portrait of Daniel Boone painted from life, and that was by Chester Harding, a 8 distinguished artist of Boston, who came to Missouri in June, 1820, and painted it in the residence of Flanders Callaway, Boone’s son-in-law, where Boone was then Ilving, near the village of Martinsville, in Warren county. 1

MANY FREAK RECORDS MADE IN AMERICAN ASSOCIATION

Unexpected Happenings During Season of 1908—Pitchers Who Made Good When Let Go.

Numerous are the peculiar happenings that will be chronicled in the “oughty-8” history_of baseball. Unusual, astonishing and wonderful are the other adjectives that fittingly may be used when referring to other incidents of the season just finished. The American association history will be replete with things peculiar, unusual, astonishing and even wonderful. Review the “cast-off” pitchers, twirlers who were discharged from certain clubs as useless and who made doubly good and then some with other teams. Louisville passed Louiee Durham an unconditional release, and the fans who had seen the solid Lou hand out the walks by the baseful approved of the release. But Durham caught on with Carr and “came back” with a vengeance. He won many games for Indianapolis and has a record of five double-header victories. The New York Giants have hooked him for next year. Clyde Goodwin is another. The stocky Gérman was a screaming farce in Kansas City, but what a change there was when the former Milwaukéean sunk his signature to a Columbus contract. The metamorphosis of C. Goodwin was wonderful. He pitched winning ball from the start, and hit the ball, O, how he did clout the pill. He twirled grand ball, and hit good enough to hold down an outfield position. Then there is *“Vinegar Bill” Earle Essick. He wasn't good enough for St. Paul and Kansas City got him for the draft price of $750. “Vinegar Bill” has tossed a fancy brand of ball for the Blues and he’s considered some pitcher in these parts. The number of hit games, six in all, is another feature that will glisten brilliantly in this season’s A. A. history. : The fine phiz of Oscar Kinlock Swan, from the south, will head 'the no-hit gallery in the American association’s section of baseball’s hall of fame. ‘“Duckey’s” features have been there several years, and there may be a little dust on them, but “Swanie” cannot help but cheer up immediately when he beholds the picture master putting up such classic mugs as those of Messrs. Jess Stovall, Cliff Curtis, C. Milton Brandom, Joseph Wood, Hi West, George Upp and Rube Marquard. Seven in one season is'a phenomenal record and attests in no uncertain terms the ability of the twirlers. Nothing in organized baseball has ever approached this record.

Wonderful was the early season record of Pitcher Rube Marquard of Indianapolis, so wonderful, indeed, that Brush and McGraw of the New York Giants gobbled him for the remarkable price of $ll,OOO. Joe Wood’s no hit, no run game in which only one man reached first base and then after there were two out in the ninth, was another marvelous performance. Only for a wide throw by Monte Cross, the Kansas City youngster would have equaled the world’s record that has been made only twice. The unusually classy pitching and the high grade fielding this season have astonished the American association patrons as well as the American association batsmen. The great number of players who will find their way from the American association into the major Jeague next year is still another proof that Dame Fortune has been kinder to Mr. O’Brien’s league this year than ever before.

Cold Comfort for the Minors. Only five of the 18 minor league pro--tests against the drafting of players were allowed, according to a finding of the national baseball commission. The protests allowed are the draft made by the Boston National league club from the Paris (I 11. club of Infielder Staley; New York National league club from Savanna of Player Kieber, Cleveland American league club from the Gulfport club of Player Lively, Cleveland American league club from the Houston club of Player Truesdale, and New Ycrk American league cluyb from the Austin club of Catcher Killifer. :

Griff Wants Bison Team. The Buffalo baseball club is on the market, and it is evident that the Bisons will be under different management and ownership next season. Clark Griffith is said to be negotiating for the franchise. ‘ Joe Cantillon is counting on Frank Roth of Milwaukee to strengthen hls catching department next season.

MUCH DEPENDS ON COACH - IN THE NEW FOOTBALL

Success or Failure of Team -Is_“Up To” Its Teacher More Than Ever Before. ;

Football under the new rules which will be more used this season will depend more upon the ability of the coach to win the games than upon the individual player, for success can only come by a careful studying out of the merits (of each player who presents’ himself ‘'on the field and the proper preliminary coaching which will enable him to meet certain individual responsibilities which may come during the progress of each game. Under these conditions success on the gridiron this season offers more to the coach than ever before, and it is for this reason that every college is seeking [talent in this direction. The old game, with its fixed signals ior each play, was easy to drill into the mind of the man, for many had learned it all at the preparatory schools. Under the revised rules, however, the coach must adopt plans to suit his team. There will be the open game for the fast and shifty back field, an average:line, and good quarterback, but for the reverse conditions the line plunging and mass plays might be more effective. ‘The development of the kicker-and those who can pass the ball accurately will cause the coaches the hardest study, and the faculty of inventiveness by the player to meet all emergencies will commend that player to the coach more than any .other faculty. The ability to recover the ball on a forward pass, provided it does not touch an opponent, according to new rules, will give a player plenty of study for accuracy, while the new defense requires the team to be -on its tiptoes all the time to meet the exigencies which a coach could not prearrange. Although the preliminary training s¢ason has started, it is as yet too early to figure out the comparative merits of any team. The schedules, as a rule, are harder this season and their arrangement such that interest awakened by the opening games will be carried ou throughout the season.

GETS READY FOR BIG SERIES National Commission Adds New Rule to World’s Championship Games.
