SAVED FROM DROWNING.
Ship's Steward at Montreal Did
Good Work.
A despatch from Montreal says;
What would have proven a triple
drowning was prevented on Wed-
nesday by the pluck of Albert V.
Men)), a steward of the Allan liner
Victorian. While walking along by
the river front at Deminion Park,
he, with several others, noticed
that a small motor launch had cap-
sized some distance from the shore,
and two men were hanging on to
her. A man ran to the water,
jumped in, and started swimming
out to them, but before he got half
way hScollapsed and began to sink.
Marsh, seeing this, went down to
the water and swam out to him,
bringing him back. Taking to the
water again, Marsh went to the cap-
sized boat, took one of the menoff
and brought him to shore. By this
time the other man had become ex-
hausted and dropped off the boat,
so Marsh again went to his assis-
tance, and brought him ashore.
Marsh has already received three
medals from the Royal Humane
Society of England. He has now
saved a total of nine lirein one
way or another.

St TAFT 1101WINATE
Scenes.of Wild Disorder Marked the Closing
of Republican Convention.
A despatch from Chicago saye;
The vote on the nomination for the
Presidential candidacy was reached
by the Republican Convention in
the Coliseum at 10 o'clock on Sattir-
day night after over twelve hours of
continuous disorderly session with-
out intermission. Only one vote was
necessary, t resu/ted as follows
: -
Taft, 561; Hughes, 2; Cummins, 17;
La Follette, 41; Roosevelt, 107;
Rooseveltians absent or refusing to
vote, 250; total delegate vote, 1,078.
Necessary poll to secure majority
nomination, 540. Taft delegates who
wmre protested by Roosevelt and
who polled their votes, 92, Roose-
velt delegates denied the right of
voting by the majority of the Cre-
dentials Committee, 78.
It was a ghastly, dibgraeeful, ter-
rible scene -as hideous as a,- night-
mare in a free and progressive de-
mocracy. Twelve thousand people
filling the great Coliseum were
practically in a state of riot. The
building roared with recriminations
-aye, and profanity. Hoots,
groans, hisses, shouts and cheers in-
termingled in deafening tumult.
lien and women seemed to have lost
all control of themselves. Senator
Root hnpotently pounded his gavel
and pleaded with the delegates not
to "forever disgrace your party and
your country."
But the storm had broken at last
with regrettable violence. There
were fights on the platform and fis-
ticuffs among the delegates. The
police were rushing hither and thi-
ther endeavoring to separate cora-
bateets. Women leaned over the
balconies and screamed their en-
couragement to the party pugilists.
Immediately to the south of the
press section a coterie of prominent'
society women, Mo. Rosewater,
wife of the Chairman of the Na-
tional Committee, among the num-
ber, were standing on their seats
shouting, "Down with Roosevelt)
Kill him kill him forever!" A
young woman, dressed.in blue and
wearing an Indiana badge, rushed
toward them and' struck the -woman
nearest to her over the head with
the staff of her flag. The assaulted
woman seized her by the hair and
the two engaged in a vicious scuffle.
Down among the delegates the tu-
mult waged most fiercely. A Ver-
mont Taft man turned on a Maine
Rooseveltian who had shouted to
the Chairman that he "wouldn't
vote in this rotten convention," and
yelled at him, "You anarchistic
wrecker!" whereat the Maine man
turned and felled his fellow -dele-
gate to the floor with a blow be-
tween the eyes. Only herculean
efforts by a score of police prevent-
ed a general melee. A moment lat-
er delegates from South Dakota
and Mississippi had one another by
the throats and rolled over on the
floor till the police pulled them
apart. In almost every part of the
vast buildings the disgraceful spec-
ta,ele of disorder was repeated.
