Has Named Three Pre- vious Tickets Within Enclosure Chicago, May —The Chicago Co- liseum, where the republican nation- al convention of 1916 will be held be- ginning June 7, has a history rich in political interest. More national po- litical conventions have been held in it than in any other building in the United States. Three republican national conven- tions have been held within its walls and it was there also that the pro- gressive party, in 1914, held its first national convention and nominated Col. Theodore Roosevelt for president. | The republicans nominated their pres- idential ticket in the Chicago Coliseum in 1904, 1908 and 1912. The building was designed as a model convention hall but later adapt- ed to broader uses. It was built by Charles F. Gunther and several bus- iness associates on the site of the old Libby Prison War Museum, at Wabash avenue and Fifteenth street, less than a mile from the hotel and retail shop- ping district. I The castellated walls of the old v prison were used for the Wabash ave- nue side of the structure. Tt w built of stone, brick, steel and g! and was finished in 1900. The building is 403 feet long, 170 feet wide, and 110 feet high and cost nearly $1,000,000. It has a wide balcony extending around three of the walls and is well lighted and ventilated. Preparedne: For this year's convention two ad- ditional balconies with seats for 7: persons have been built between the main floor and the regular balcony. This gives a total seating capacity of 12,400 of which 9,400 seats are on the main floor and 3,000 in the balconies. The crowds will enter through four main doors on the Wabash avenue ’r side. There are twenty-two exits. | There will be 100 doorkeepers and 100 ushers in addition to a large spe- cial detail of police to handle the great crowds. The seating arrangements will follow the general plan of for- mer conventions although several changes have been made which it is believed will add to the comfort and convenience of the delegates and vis- itors. The speaker's platform, twenty feet long and forty feet wide is at the south end of the building. It will provide seats for officers of the convention and members of the republican national committee. Suspendid over the stand is a specially designed sounding board. It consists of an inverted con- caved pyramid built of wood with the apex over the head of the presiding officer. It is designed to throw the voice through the hall. Directly in the rear of the speakers stand raised platform with 2,000 seats for the use of presidential candidates and other distinguished guests. On either side of the speakers blaiform, o3 tending the entire width of the build- ing i s section, containing 558 sen rking newspaper men. In front of the speakers stand are the the 991 delegates and back of these is the space set aside for the seating of the alternates. The section reserved for delegacs and al- ternate is enclosed with a heavy rail. The rest of the main floor and all the balconies will be used for seats to accommodate the crowds of visitors. Everything Convenient. Adjoining the co um on the south is an annex three stories high, 170 feet deep and with a fron about 100 feet on Wabash avenue. is connected with the main building by several broad entrances. In the basement of the annex, at the south end of the main building and near the speakers stand, is the tele- graph and telephone room where scores of special wires have been in- stalled for the use of the news gath- ering associations and newspapers in sending stories of the convention to every section of the countr: In the basement of the main building is a completely equipped temporary hospi- tal in charge of the twenty-five Chica- go's leading physicians and surgeons AT caus 101 ling of certain SHY WITH STAMPS. Americans Have Habit of Thus Cut- ting Down Mailing Expenses. Washington, May 22.—Some idea of the extent to which Americans, through negligence or ignorance, place insufficient postage on letters and par- cel post mail destined to foreign coun- tries is disclosed in reports to the | state department from American con- suls abroad who frequently voice the protests of foreign business men and others at having to ‘buy their Amer can mail.”” A recent report from Con- sul Loop at Hamilton, Bermuda, shows that more than twenty-seven per cent. of Bermuda’s 1914 postal surplus came from penalties collected because | of under-paid postage on letters and parcel mail. These penalties aggre- gated $2,860. The letters instead of being prepaid at the usual foreign letter rate of five cents an ounce bore two cent stamps and their recipients in Bemuda paid double the amount of deficiency, or six cents, as a penalty. The same condition prevails in many other foreign countries and postal au- thorities here have sought in every way to bring it to the attention of Am- ericans carrying on foreign corre- spondence. BLUE LAWS FORCE NOISELESS WARFARE Rilles, Cannon, Drums, Bugles and Bands—All Are Silent New York, May 22.—After nearly 10,000 National Guardsmen had mo- bilized in record time at the Sheeps- head Bay Speedway yesterday morn- ing to take part in the battle prob- lem which they were to work out in the presence of Major Gen. John F. O'Ryan and some 8,000 spectators at the Military and Naval Tournament, it was announced that owing to com- plaint of the Kings County Sunday Observance League against the break- “blue laws,”” there could be no noise in the mimic war. Blank cartridges for rifle and can- non were taboo, drums, bugles and bands were forbidden, and no u.aero- plane was allowed to fly, with its noisy exhaust. And, acting under or- ders from General O’Ryan, the Guard obeyed the law so carefully that the only noise the watchers heard during the whole of the ‘“fight” was the crack, crack, crack of the rifles and zip of bullets in a shooting gallery nearby that ran on merrily through it all. Not only was the sham battle made noiseless, but the same laws were in- voked against the fireworks display in the evening, and there was no nignt performance. Late in the afternoon certain aero- planes made flights and bands played, just a little timidly, but none of them was connected in any way with the National Guard. General O’Ryan said he had re- ceived a letter last week from a man ‘n Albany connected with the Law and Order Department of the Civic League calling attention to the law forbidding the breaking of the Sabbath quiet with any sort of noise-making dev: “When T learned that that was the law,” said General O’'Ryan, “of course that settled the matter so far as the | guard was concerned. We are offi- cers of the state, all of us, and we cannot wriggle and try to evade the law no matter how any individual may regard it. T ordered the men to carry no ammunition and forbade the bands to play any but sacred music.” PREPARED! Gun Sighters in U. S, Navy Their Worth. San Diego, Cal,, May 22.—Forty- seven hits out of sixty-five shots at a range of 1,800 vards was the record made by the three-inch gun pointers of the cruiser Pittsburgh at the clementary practice in torpedo de- fense on the drill grounds aff this harbor last week, it was announced | today The firing was done at night under conditions approximating those pre- vailing in actual warfare.

Cluett, met with bad ice conditions in Melville Bay and did not reach North Star Bay, Green- land, until Sept. From there Hov- ey proceeded in a power hoat belong- ing to Rasmussen to Etah, the head- quarters of the Crocker Land expedi tion reaching his destination Sept. 15. There he found Fitzhugh Green, Maur- ice S. Tanquary, and Jerome L. Ai- len of the McMillan expedition. The next day he met McMillan, J. C. Small, and Dr. Harrison J. Hunt, who been out hunting game for food. He left McMillan, Small, and Hunt, at Etah and returned to North Star Bay, reaching there in a gale Sept. 17. On Sept. 19, according to his mes- sages, Hovey started from North Star Bay for New York, leaving supplies at-the bay for McMillan, 12 miles away. But on Sept. 23 he was driven off his course by a gale and took ref- uge in Parker Snow Bay, where the damaged condition of his ship forced him to decide to spend the win- ter there. But about the first of the year the food supply became so short that members of the party left the Cluett, and Hovey, Tanquary, Allen and Green started south by dog sledge to look for food. On Jan. 20 Hovey collapsed from the cold and from North Star bay sent the messages nad New York. Tanquary kept on, reached the Faroe Islands, from which the messages were cabled, and is now in Copenhagen. McMillan, according to the messages from Hovey and later cablegrams from Tanquary, planned to start on March 10 for a ninety-day trip to ex- plore Perry Island and Findlay Land the latter seen by the Franklin expedi- tion in 1853. He was expected back at Etah By June. GREECE ALMOST BANKRUPT. Premier Venizclos akes Startling Assertions. Former Athens, via London, May 22.—For- mer Premier Venizclos has contributed an article to the Athens Herald in which he points out what he con- siders the mistakes made by the Greek Government. He condemns tha “blustering meth ods” of Premier Skouloudis and states that the army, which he says has worn out uniforms and boots as well part of the equipment furnished at the mobilization, could 1ot take the field within less than two months and then only if the Entente Powers un- dertook to furnish the necessary equipment. The task of feeding the army, he says is becoming daily more problematical. The former premier hints that Greece Is on the verge of bankruptcy and says: “While there is only one road to salvation, it is precisely that which we will not follow The article makes a strong bid for closer relations between Greece and the Allies “before it is too late GERMANY TO SEIZE FOOD. via London, May Berlin advices report that Germany has taken the most drastic possibie measures for counteracting the food shortage.
