LOSES BY 600 VOTES
(United Pre Leaned Wire.)
Paris, April 25. Charging fraud,
Jules Vedrlnes, the daredevil French
blrdman, today In the chamber of depu
ties began hla contest of the seat Won
by M. Bennall at a special election at
limoux in March. Vedrlnes lost by
about 600 rotes out of a total count of
16.000.
Vedrlnes Is tha first aviator -to run
for office. Ha mad a unique campaign,
flying at 75 miles an hour from One
speaking place to another. Alighting In
village street we would gather a'
crowd about him In a. twinkling. He
also flew from farm ,to farm and cov
ered the entire district In a week.
Southampton, England, April 26. At
late hour today the liner Olymplo of
the White Star line, was still lying off
Ryde, Iale of Wight, because of Its
inability to secure enough stokers to
replace the 300 men who struck yester
day Just five minutes before the vessel
was scheduled to sail for Naw York.
Warned by the dlaaster to the sister
hip Titanic, (he Olympic stoker de
serted In a body, declaring that the
collapsible lifeboats Installed on the
vessel were unseaworthy.
When officials of the White Star line
announced their intention of getting
non-union stokers to fill tha places
of the strikers, the crew on the Olympic
threatened to desert, and the plan , was
abandoned.
Although the stokers at first declared
they would not sail unless wooden
boats were substituted, for the metal
ones, they nnaiiy agreed today to give
the collapsible boats a test and if they
proved seaworthy to call off the strike.
A deputatlbn ' of strikers, then watched
the . metal boats lowered, and . If the
metal boats come up to the expecta
tions of the White Star officials, the
Olymplo probably will sail tonight.
