At all the entrances to the big: con
vention hall in Chicago immense crowds
gathered..-' Some people held the faint
hope that they might be permitted to
get inside, while others lingered for the
purpose of watching- the important per
sonages as they came and went. Among
those w.ho attracted attention was Ker
mit Roosevelt, who acted as an assist
ant aergeant-at-arms.

Twenty bodies haVo been recovered
from the drowning ; accident at Eagle
Park, Buffalo, N. Y.' The accident was
caused by the collapse of the dock,
which hurled about 250 excursionists
Into the Niagara River. The section
of the dock which gave way was about
50 feet in length and 25 in width. The
medical, examiner who examined . the
wreckage found that many of-" the
jagged ends of the broken planks were
rotten and that the collapsed portion of
the structure lacked supporting piles
beneath it. So far as known only two
mqn were drowned. The victims were
almost ail women and children. Twelve
others are reported missing, but there
are probably many more who lost their
lives through this accident. The author
ities have started to investigate the
matter and to, place the responsibility.

The new submarine Seal reached 'a
depth of 250 feet below the surface of
the water and established a record for
BUbmerslon recently at New London,
Conn. The best previous mark was set
by the submarine Salmon in October,
1911, when she plunged down 144 feet
in the waters off Narragansett Bay
and remained nearly 20 minutes. The
Seal remained down 30 H minutes and
rose to the surface without difficulty.
The Seal is the largest type of subraa-
rlne ever built for the United States
Navy. It was launched February t.
1911, and was built by the Newport
News Shipbuilding Company. Captain
Simon Lake is the designer of this type
of submarine.

1 w Next season will na-n a new

changes In several of the largest cen
ters where symphony orchestras an

The most Important change will be In
Boston where Dr. Muck will resume
the baton after several years of absence
during- which he has been at the Royal
Opera of Berlin, and he is In his belght
thlf season at Bayreuth where he of'
fielates at each, festival season.
Carl Pohlig who ' followed . the la
mented Frits Scheel as conductor of
the Philadelphia Orchestra has resigned
from that organization and It Is not un
likely his successor will be Leopold
8tokovskI, who resigned at the close of
last season from the symphony or
chestra of Cincinnati.
Reatsaatlosi N Sarprtse.
Pohlig was In his last year any way,
and his resignation was not unexpected
by those who knew that there had been
many differences between the conduc
tor and those In charge of the financial
end. It Is understood that the or
chestra organisation has paid Pohlig
$12,000 for the unexpired year.
Stokovski left his orchestra In much
the same state of mind and his sue
cassor will be Dr. Ernest Kunwald.

guest" conductor of the Philharmonic
orchestra, but if he gets the Phila
delphia -plum" which is coveted by all
those outside of New Yerk he will feel
repaid for having severed his connec
tions with the West, and it will give
Cincinnati the chance to study the
methods of a new wlelder of the baton.
Early In the season there were
rumors of tours by several foreign con
tactors but no doubt the dismal fi

Jbe noted that the Volpe Orchestra un
bred direction of Arnold Volpe is now

tn Central Park in the open air and
ha large audiences In attendance are
sufficient proof of the manner in which
ibis enterprise is appreciated.
I A form of music which is fast losing
hold in this country is oratorio, which
nrlth each year finds fewer supporters
and fewer organizations devoted to its
ttudy. This is seriously to be deplored
s the concerts which are given in place
of the choral works are far inrenor in
quality whether at the festivals or un-
er club auspices.
Choral musio was at a low ebb in
c-.w York for several seasons, but dur-
i.r the season lust past there seemed
to be renewed Interest manifested. One
c
of the principal causes for this Interest
was the success of the MacDowell
Chorus under Kurt Schlndler. which
organization has changed its name to
the Schola Cantorum for the purpose
of widening the scope of Its- work. This
organization did not find its labor to
li- in the beaten path of older oratorios
but struck out into the fields of modern
choral musio such as that of Debussy,
Hugo Wolf and other modern writers
who have done exceedingly difficult
things for very large choral bodies.
Brahau Festival Help.
Another revival of Interest in choral
music In New York was brought about
by the very great success of the
Brahms Festival, when several of the
great choral works were given by a
chorus of about 300 voices under Frank
Damrosch who, however, resigned
conductor of the New York Oratorio
Society at the close of the festival and
of the season. This post has just been
filled by Louis Koemmenich. who has
long been identified with the German
singing societies of New York, Brook
lyn and Philadelphia.
One enterprising manager of New
York had plans well under way to take
out on the road "Elijah," by Mendels
sohn, in costume and with action.- The
plan has not materialized as yet, hut
there Is no reason why this might not
be done successfully with this particu
lar oratorio and with one or two oth
era. It has been done successfully in
England by Moody Manners.

Europe, Is responsible for the state

TEETH OF ANCIENT ANIMAL.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or, July . (Special.) Scientists at Washing
ton are interested In the discovery of two prehistoric teeth discovered
five miles from Klamath Falls recently, according to a letter received
here today. They requested that photographs be taken of the teeth
and sent on at once.
Oliver P. Hay, research associate of the Carnegie Institute of Wash
ington, with offices In the National Museum, wrote to Charles Fuller,
of Klamath Falls, finder of the teeth, regarding the matter.
"I observe by the newspapers that 'you have discovered two prehis
toric teeth near Klamath Falls," he wrote. "I am interested in such
matters and am compiling a work on the subject.
Can you send me photographs of the teeth found there, so we may
determine whether they are those of the mastodon or are from one of
the mammoths." 1 ' ' .'
- Pictures of the teeth were taken at bnce and forwarded to Mr. Hay
by C. T. Oliver, secretary of the Klamath Chamber of Commerce.. '
One of the teeth Is three Inches tn diameter on the grinding sur
face and Is five Inches in length. Probably the tooth was much longer
before it became fossilized. . ' '

"The Mayfalr Jesuit," . a he Is
known In London, comes from one of
the oldest and most prominent fam
ilies in the Catholic aristocracy, and
traces his lineage back to the court of
King Arthur. The family has been
known for centuries as the "Vaughans
of CourtfleW." He Is the eleventh of
14 children, born to Colonel and Mrs.
Vaughan, of Courtfield. His mother,
before her marriage a Miss Rolles, was
one of the beauties of her day, and a
member of the family of Lord Llangat

Caradoc, Lord of Ferlex, contempor
ary with King Arthur, is an ancestor
of the noted priest. He was one of
Prince Arthur's "Knights of the Round
Table," In the year'B17. Through the
Herberts, Earls of Pembroke, there Is
Norman blood In the family, and Mar
garet, Countess of Salisbury, who was
beheaded In ' the Tower of London In
the reign of Henry the Eighth, was
the last of the royal line of Plantage-
nets.
The Vaughan family suffered greatly
from the 16th century until the time
of the emancipation bill In 1829 for its
loyalty to the old traditions. The fam
ily home was often abandoned, and
many treasures and relics were lost
or sold. Among these was the cradle
In which Henry V was nursed. In 160S
the widow of William Vaughan was
prosecuted because she and a number
of her retainers and members of her
family had attended mass.
During the final struggle of the
Royal Guards, two Vaughan brothers,
Richard and William, and their fol
lowers, started to Join Prince Charlie,
and overtook him . at Culloden. Of
William there Is written In the life of
Cardinal .Vaughan:

him, said: T me, Vaughan, they're

Morgan said with an oath: 'I'd rather
be hanged, than go to Scotland.'
"Mr. Morgan was hanged, while Mr,

He was a personal friend of the late
Queen Victoria, of England, and also
of the. late King Edward VII. He was
one of the guests at Queen Victoria's
last jubilee garden party, and received
gifts from her and her son. He is well
known also to the present King and
Queen of England, and was their guest
at their first garden party, in Bucking

what he -calls his "free time" in the
East End slums, where he is as well

his own social set. While he has at

The noted Jesuit has taken up the
cudgels against race suicide. No race

FRANCE FACES BIG CHANGE
Consular Republic Suggestion and
Napoleon. Is Indicated.
PARIS, July 6. (Special.) The gen
eral uneasiness which the prevalence
of Socialism, the increase in the pries
of living, and the general political dis
content in France had brought with
them, encouraged the Bonapartlsts.
who have been quiescent recently, to
hold a monster - meeting -at the Salle
Wagram the other evening. The Mar
quis de Dion was the principal speaker.
Five thousand people listened to him
and applauded to the echo his plea for
'a consular republic." The implication.
of course, was that Prince Napoleon
would be the Consul.
Although there Is little likelihood
of a monarchy, an empire, or even a
consular republic in France in the Im
mediate future, there Is no doubt what
ever that the French people are ripe
for another revolution. Nobody Is quite
satisfied with the present form of gov
ernment. Everybody feels, no matter
what class he belongs to, that he Is
overtaxed and over-red-taped. There
Is a general feeling that the real rul
ers of the country (who are not merely
the government, but all the members of
the two Chambers, and far too many of
their friends) are much too expensive
luxury.
If General Boitlanger were alive there .
might easily be a coup d'etat tomorrow.. -By
turning out the congregations, the
nominal rulers of France have set the
many-headed in power, and they are
harder masters than either the priests -or
even the nobles ever were. The bour- .
geois is a long-suffering animal, but
he is beginning to kick against the -pricks.
The Socialist element has such
swelled head ' that its demands are
rapidly becoming more than the bour- -
geolse will stand, and In France, when
unrest has become as general as it la
now becoming a flareup is inevitable.
A well-known politician said the
other day that war of one kind or an- .
other must break out in France within '
the next five years. His meaning was,
that if war with another nation did not"
come to turn people's thoughts away
from their home troubles, a civil war.
