Hughes Leads in Race for Republican
Nomination; Opponents Fall to
Get Together
Chicago, June 6.-Whether or not
there is to be a third party ticket in
the field and a repetition of the politi-
cal history of 1912 now depends en-
tirely upon Colonel Roosevelt.
The lieutenants of the Progressive
party have worked hard to bring about
a delay in the Bull Moose nomination
until the Republicans have had an
opportunity to act. Mr. Roosevelt's
lieutenants have failed in their ef-
forts, and tonight practically "threw
up the sponge."
They have agreed to proceed to
the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt,

Fhial Dress Rehearsal Runs Smoothly;
N. Earl Pinney to Give Pre-
liminary Talk
With everything running smoothly,
the final dress rehearsal of the three
Irish plays to be given tonight at 8:00
o'clock in University hall by members
of the Oratorical association gave
promise of being a finished production.
The dialogue and excellent acting
gave an absorbing interest to the plays
of Synge and Yeats.
The three sketches, which are recog-
nized as among the best one-act Irish
plays, are not only of educational value
but are interesting in being unusual
in subject and in the manner of pres-
entation.
The plays produce an atmosphere of
old Ireland, portraying Irish peasant

FACULTY
NEED OF FUND IS EVIDENT
Maximum State Appropriations Reach-
ed, While University Continues
to Grow
When the seniors convene at the
"Put Michigan First" mass meeting
tomorrow morning at 11:00 o'clock in
University hall, the tentative plan for
a Michigan Alumni trust fund which
has received the hearty sanction of
senior class presidents, will be ex-
plained. All senior classes meeting
at that hour have been excused to
permit attendance, and caps and gowns
are to be worn on Thursday instead of
Friday.
Not alone are the leaders in the
classes in favor of this movement, but
prominent faculty men have voiced
their approval of this plan to cement
the Michigan alumni together by
means of a financial interest in the
university other than class donations.
President Harry B. Hutchins ex-
pressed himself as favorable to the
general idea outlined in the plan, pro-
vided the seniors approve of it. He
does not, however, wish to use his
official position to influence action on
the part of the students interested. It
is for them to say what, if anything,
should be done, he believes.
Bates Expresses Approval
Dean Henry M. Bates stated: "I
am very much in favor of the general
plan as tentatively outlined, and I
think it is a splendid thing that ii
should have originated with the stu-
dents. Anything I may consistently
do to further it, I will do."

UNION PLANS TO SERVE GUESTS
'o Furnish Meals for Doctors at C om-
ing Medical Conference
With the old Union banquet hall
moved back to the northwest corner
of the lot and the foundation and cel-
lar nearly complete, plans are in or-
der to serve at least 500 guests who
are to attend the medical conference
on the week-end of June 16. The
dining room of the temporary quarters
will occupy the entire cellar, and will
supply ample room for all guests.
The old Pond residence, which has
stood beside the old Union building
for a number of years, will occupy its
place on the south side of the dining
hall as soon as it can be moved to
that place. A board walk will be
built from the temporary quarters to
State street as soon as the main work
on the building has been completed.
Due to a delay in the work of the
Union national campaign committees,
no definite statement of the contribu-
tions can be made at this time. The
total amount of money secured thus
far is estimated at about $753,000.

OR KITCHENER AND STAFF DROWN
HEN HAMPSHIRE IS BLOWN UP; ALL
BRITIAN IS SHOCKED AT GHEAT LOSS
Believed War Lord Was to Have held
Conference in Regard to a
New Russian Offensive
London, June 6. - "Kitchener is
dead!"
From one end of the British empire
to the other these words were flashed
this afternoon, as rapidly as the radio
and telegraph could transmit them.
They brought to the hearts of the Brit-
ish people the greatest shock, the deep-
est grief that has befallen the United
Kingdom since the outbreak of the
great war.
With his entire staff en route on
an important visit to Russia, Lord
Kitchener, secretary of war, was
drowned on the British cruiser Hamp-
shire to the west of the Orkney Islands
about 8:00 o'clock last night, " by
mine or torpedo" as Sir John Jellicoe,
commander of Britain fleet, officially
reported this afternoon.
Entire Crew Lost
Every officer and man on the Hamp-
shire was lost. Accompanying Lord
Kitchener there were, besides the
members of his staff, a number of
British army officers. The normal
complement of the Hampshire was 655
officers and men. She was 450 feet
long and displaced 11,000 tons. Her
armament was four 7.5 inch guns, six
6-inch guns and two torpedo tubes.
A capsized boat and a few as yet
unidentified bodies were washed
ashore late this afternoon. Otherwise
there is no trace of the lost cruiser
and her precious human cargo. Peo-
ple on the shore of the Orkneys who
witnessed the Hampshire sinking saw
four boats being lowered immediately
after the explosion, but saw nothing
later. The warship saik within a few
minutes.
Little Hope for Any Survivors
The wind was north-northwest, the
observers said,and heavy seas were
running. Patrol vessels and destroy-
ers at once proceeded to the scene of
the disaster and a party was sent
along the coast to search, but only
some few bodies were found. Accord-

Delay Avoided

that an anticipated'delay in the pub-
lishing has been obviated.
