NEW YORK. May 27. Fifteen hundred
New York business men will go to Oyster
Bay this afternoon, and march three miles
through the dust to Sagamore Hill just to
tell Colonel Roosevelt they are "for him
strong." The pilgrims will expect some
sort of a keynote from the former Presi
dent. Up to today the Colonel was still main
taining his decision not to attend the Pro
gressive Convention at Chicago, which Is
simultaneous with the Republican conclave.
He has also been adamant to , pleas that
he extend his trip, beginning Sunday, to
Include speeches at other cities than Kan
sas City and St Louis. A stop-over of
four hours on Monday has led several Chi
cagoans to plead for a talk, but the Col
onel was quoted by his friends as Baying
that he did not desire to "scatter his
hots."
The Roosevelt preconventton campaign
Is now In full swing. In addition to the
regular agencies of the Bull Moose party
throughout the country, the Colonel has the
Roosevelt Nonpartisan League and the
Roosevelt Republican League working for
him, The latter organization now has well
organized branches at work In nearly every
State In the Union. None of the Roosevelt
campaign agencies makes any statistical
claims of delegates, but they are hinting to
day that scores of delegates to the Repub
lican convention, now classified as unln
strufted. or, in some cases, definitely In
structed for favorite sons, will Jump to the
Colonel's standard early in the war of bal
lots at Chicago.
The Roosevelt enemies assert a tremend
ous effort la being made by the Colonel's
lieutenant to stampede the Chicago gath

A modern bascule drawbridge with nmple
and secure approaches will replace the
damaged South street bridge, within a year,
If the present plans of Mayor Smith and
the Department of Public Works are carried
through. Mayor Smith today promised that
nil speed would.,be made on the partly com
pleted plans for a new structure and that
the money needed would be a part of the
first bonds offered for sale by tho city after
the completion of loan legislation.
Mayor Smith .Intends to give personal
supervision to the work of building a new
bridge over the Schuylkill River at South
street, and acting In conjunction with Di
rector Datesman, of the Department of
Public Works, means to Bee that the old
structure is replaced at the earliest possible
moment.
In discussing the sagging of the bridge
and the plans for a new structure, he to
day said:
'The condition of the South street bridge
has been a subject of discussion of numer
ous cabinet meetings. Both Directors Web
ster and Datesman haye Impressed me with
the necessity for a new and safe structure.
That the accident resulted no more seri
ously than It did is a matter for congratu
lation, it was In the hopes of forestalling
trouble that some $325,000 of the $750,000
bridge item In the $42,450,797 general loan
was set aside with a view to rebuilding the
bridge.
The sag will be repaired by Director
Datesman out of an emergency repair Item
and the bridge will be put Into shape for
use without the loss of any time. I do not
know what money Is on hand at this time
for such emergency work, but It will be
forthcoming. The old bridge will be put
In shape until the loan legislation Is1 com
pleted and until Buch time as we can float
city bonds. Heat assured that In the first
bonds floated and money borrowed the.
South street bridge will be provided for.
Plana for a new bridge have virtually been
completed or at least are near enough com
pletion to make them available by the time
we get the loan moneys with which to re
build. 'The old South street bridge has stood
as long as could be expected, and certainly
no one wll criticise the cjty for quick
action in replacing and rebuilding. It 'has
often been reported as antiquated, but
never as being actually unsafe. It wns
thought that the bridge would serve all pur
poses until such time as money was found
by Councils for a new structure. The
money, because of the support given the
loans. Is now within reach and will Be
used."

WATERWAGON RIDERS
OF PENNSGROVE FALL
UPON RUM SHIP UNO
Floating Saloon, Apparently Be
yond Law's Reach, Sells
Drinks to Thirsty Army
of Powdermakers
DRY ELEMENT AROUSED
By a Staff Correspondent
PEN.NSGROVE, N. J., May 27. Afloat
In the Delaware river, visible to tho naked
eye of any thirsty gentleman stnmllng on
the shores of this picturesque town Is the
good ship Uno. Six old, empty, dust-covered
demijohns stand on top of each other on
her forward upper deck. They aro the
Uno's advertisement. Powder-workers say
that a brilliantly lluminated sign couldn't
explain better why tho Uno is afloat today
than those six llquor-stalncd, straw-bound
demijohns.
Tho Uno, commanded by Sklppor Frank
Jones, of Wilmington, Del., at one time was
a fishing smack used by Philadelphia and
Wilmington fishermen, but has been trans
formed Into n "floating cafe." Closets
where hooks, lines and sinkers were once
kept now contain wines, bottles of brandy,
whiskey and bottled beer.
"Anything from a bottle of beer to a 'top
o' the mornln ' cocktail served hero" Is
the slogan of tho deckhands when not busy
helping to navigate the craft
Ceremonies or speeches didn't mark tho
odlclal launching of tho Uno. She ap
peared In Delaware waters about a fort
night ago. And It didn't requlro any Spe
cial announcement to have It generally
known that the Uno was near tho Bhorcs of
Pennsgrove. Everybody In Pennsgrovo and J
at Carney s point Knows an about tho Uno
and her bottled goods. Tho dry forces of
this place are Indignant. They are plan
ning to ask the Government to ascertain
whether the Uno has a right to sell her
liquid merchandise to those who dally visit
the craft In a "river jitney."
A POPULAR RESORT.
Munition workers who make powder for
the Allies at Carney's Point crowd aboard
tho Uno dally. They nil get n cheerful
welcome. The arrivals come In the "river
Jitneys." As they board the quondam fish
ing smack Skipper Jones shouts to the deckhand-waiters
below:
"Customers on board." t
Cash registers as yet haven't been . In
stalled on the Uno. Skipper Jones says
that his seafaring men aro true and honest.
He says he can trace their career back
many years.
Just who the proprietors of tho Unoinre
is a mystery. It Is said that the idea of
selling liquor on the Uno to the residents
of this dry town was originated by two
enterprising young men who live In Wil
mington. The Uno has a United States Govern
ment license to sell liquor on the river, but
isn't permitted to make any sales while
the craft Is anchored or tied to a pier.
Therefore, she Is compelled to keep her
distance.
The liquor Is kept In a slx-by-elght closet.
There Is no bar. Beer and whisky are
served on an old, dark brown table In the
lower cabin. On each side are long benches.
"Rough Rider Dan," who served In the
Spanish-American war and now helps to
pack powder which Is shipped to England
and Russia, has the distinction of being the
first man to be served with a drink aboard
the Uno, He lives at Carney's Point. To
get aboard the Uno, "Rough Rider Dan"
had to do what nil others do.
Heading a delegation of six friends,
"Rough Rider Dan" reached Pennsgrove.
They chartered a Jitney In the central part
of the town and rode about a mile along
the Jersey Bhore. Then they walked to the
pier and hired one of those "river Jitneys"
which take you to the Uno for IS cents, or
as much more or less as you feel like giv
ing the marine jltneur.
ROUGH RIDER SCOLDED.
As soon as "Rough Rider Dan" got
aboard the ship he heard a middle-aged
man. who works at Plant No. 2 at Carney's
Point, reprimanded by tne cniet deckhand
waiter. The man reprlmaned was "Con"
Billings, who comes from somewhere in
South Dakota. It seems that "Con" didn't
want to disturb the waiters who were eat
ing their late breakfast, so he decided to
serve himself.
"Nix on that stuff; only the operator Is
allowed to pour out of the bottle," said the
chief deckhand-waiter.'
While two young men were arguing about
the date when John L. Sullivan lost the
championship to James J. Corbett, whose
name now appears lir vaudeville advertise
ments, Harry Dallas came aboard.
"Just came aboard to sample some of
your stuff," said Ballas.
"We are not handing out any samples
today," snorted one of the waiters.
Ballas took a drink. lie excused him
self, saying .he was In a hurry, and besides
the man operating the "river Jitney" was
shouting to him to get off the Uno' quick
because he had other men waiting for him
at one of the piers which line the water
front at Pennsgrove.
Captain Jones says business la good. He
says he feels sure the dry element in Penns
grove won't pay any attention to him be
cause be is. going to maintain order while
drinks are being poured out and while they
are being druok.
"I am a man who believes in peace and
no trouble, and any gent who is thirsty
find who known how to behave himself ca,rj,
coxuo aboard the Uno," said C&f tain Jones.

against Justlco Hughes it Is belloved th '

Interests which centre nround Won .......
are reported favorable to Roosevelt, it '"' i
,tholr activities should become nronftim..; ' " 'i
at Chicago It would work to the benefit nf
Hughes. "
Things are operating to defeat Justy.' v
Hughes. The lines are drawn In this wy"
First. Colonel Roosevelt Is lnfcnt
upon preventing the nomination of Juj.
tlce Hughes on an early ballot, and de
stroying tho Hughes suggested can
dldncy If ho can. Ho Is obsessed by
tho Idea that he himself Is the only man
who can surely defeat President Wll. , ,
uon. ',
Second, The favorite sons, the Pro- .'
grcsslvcs declare, are playing directly
Into the CoIonel'B hands by combining
to withhold n commanding lead from
Hughes. Tho Colonel's managers know
that every succeeding vote nftcr th
Bocond ballot will facilitate the dls
integration of the favorite eons'
strength, delegates dividing between
Hughes and Roosevelt.
Third. The favorite sons aro at a ' ' I
complete standstill now, awaiting a ; ,
show of the Justlco Hughes strength.
If Hughes develops greater strength '
than Roosevelt on tho first nnd second
ballots, tho rush to Hughes will be '
enormoUB. If, on tho other hand,
Roosevelt Is stronger, tho favorite sons
figure such a development will favor
ono of their number.
Upon tho best nuthorlty It can be stated '
that Justlco Hughes will in no way break
his silence, either beforo the convention
nets down to balloting or at a critical time,
when a word mlGht be to his advantage.
The nomination. If It comes to him, must
be without any dlreotlon on his part It
Is expected, however, that Frank H. HItcly
cock, who' has assumed to lead the Hughes
movement and Is a resourceful politician,
will engineer n move which will satisfy Un
delegates, i
The elections In the last week have .
tended to develop more strength for t
Hughes. South Dakota gavo Cummins a ,
complimentary vote with the understanding .
that the Iowa delegates should support
Hughes nfter the first ballot. In this con
nection. It la known that the bulk of Cum.
mlns' 84 Instructed delegates are favorable I
to Hughes nnd will Bupport him nfter the.,
second ballot.! Tho only delegates Run-,,,',,
