LARGEST STEAMER *DlXIN(a ROOM WILL SEAT EIGHT HUNDRED IX COMFORT. ? A CITY ON THE WAVES Crowds Watch Arrival iia Now York of th? Latest Queen of the Seals Claimed to be Accident Proof llut the Fate of the Titanic Hangs Like a Ghost Over its Safety. Navigation in North River, between 1 lower New York and Hoboken, stood L still Thursday while the Vaterland, tr biggest ship afloat, defied all offorts ^ : to dock her, and swept broadside m K~> down the stream for more than a mile. When the liner arrived at her plor after her maiden voyage, her groat length and a strong ebb tide proved too strong a combination for the fleet of willing little tugs that urged her toward her berth. For more than three hours the tugs pullod and hauled at the gigantic liner without success. Once she was almost ready to tie up when the tide gripped her and dragged her out of the slip. Ferry boats and small craft scurried to safety as the lovlathlan floated broad side down the river, with twenty tugs circling frantically around. She floated a mile before the tugs got her straightened out, and then she returned under her own steam. Three thousand persons aboard, Impatient to land, watched the manoeuvers, without showing any alarm, although there were moments when the steamer narrowly missed crump 4/ ling the ond of a pier. The fourth attempt to dock the ship proved successful. sn? ib tn? largest Blilp in the world, having a tonnage of 58,000. She la 950 feet long and 100 feet "beam. Her tonnage 1b 5,000 feet greater than that of the Imperator. Her ^ forged steel rudder weighs 50.5 tons. Being of the balanced type, a considerable part of It extends forward of the rudder poet. This style offers a greater steering surface than does the usual shape, and It is also much more sensitive". The rudder shaft is mearly three feet through. + It Is upward of a fifth of a mile (four New York city blocks from) the pilot house to the big rudder, but It la very obedient, so obedient, in fact, that the pressure of a child's finger on a spoke of the little wheel in the wheolhouse will make it "mind". Iler blades remind one of a windmill. Each of her four proPPVr pollers has a diameter of -19 feet 7 Inches and weighs nearly 15 tons. They revolve 150 times a minute. They are of manganese bronze, forged. Her anchor, the biggest on the seas, weighs 11.8 tons. The starboard bower weighs 10.5 tons. As In the case of the Imperator, 4 her hull has been constructed with a ^ wonderful Inner skin carried high above the water line, making her a vessel within a vessel. She is provided with both longitudinal and transverso bulkheads, giving her a collular construction, and rendering her proof against collisions and simJJ liar accidents of the sea. She carries lifeboats more than sufficient to accommodate all on board, while her powerful wireless equipment enablos the vessel to keep continuously in touch with tlio land. Sho is the first steamship ever built with funnels which do not pass directly through the center of the decks. Each of her three great fun nels divides in tho form of the letter "Y" at a point beneath tho lowest passenger deck and joins again In a single tubo which rises above her uppermost deck. The space occupied by tho ordinary funnels passing I through tho middle of the decks is j ^ thus clear and there will bo no obf r* structions in the public cabins. J The grand dining room of this 7 giant steamship seats 800 persons comfortably. Tho old swivel chairs fastened to the deck of the ordinary steamships are dispensed with on tho Vaterland and movable chairs aro us ed. In addition to tho dining room, Jh tho Vaterland has an elaborate Ritas* Carlton restaurant, grill room and palm garden. Tho groat social hall Is tho largest ever built on board a vessel. It is roofed with stained glass and illuminated by concealed lights. Tho woodwork throughout is richly carved, whil the walls are panelled with rare tapestries and is I set with statues. A fully equipped [j stage Is ono of the leading features of the social hall. I1 The elaborate swimming pool of the Vaterland and her various elec?j trie therapeutics and other baths, lend to her the attractions of a great sea or bathing resort. The pool, which reproduces a Roman bath, extends through three decks. It consists of three large rooms, and on| tranco hall, with hard painted walls i and a floor of ornamental mosaics, j an ante-cliamber roofed with glass, I' and the pool. The roof is supported | ^ by ten marble pillars, and arranged IrW along the sides are twenty-eight bath [v, T n "'I * 1' *v???

Would be Governors Are to Begin Action in Sumter?Senatorial Candidates at St. Matthews. The county-to-county canvass for United States Senator will open at St. Matthews on June 17,- and the canvass for Governor and other State officials at Sumter on the same day, this action being decided on by the State Democratic executive committee at a meeting late Thursday afternoon following the adjournment of the convention at Columbia. The itinerary of the two campaigns will bo arranged by a sub-committoe, of whioh Gen. Wilie Jone, of Columbia, is chairman. Pledges for all State offlcals and the candidates for United States Senate must be flold with the State chairman before noon of June 16. The assessment of candidates for United States senator was fixed at $300, of candidates for congress $250, for governor $100, for railroad commissioner $75 and for all other State offices and solicitors $50 each. The candidates for United States senator have a separate campaign itinerary from that of governor and the other State officials, this being provided by the rules. The only entrants so far in the Senate race are United States Sonator E. D. Smith, who is seoking re-election, and Gov. Cole L. Blease. Nearly the full membership of the State coinmitteo was present, Chairman John Gary Evans presiding. Gov. Evans was re-elected State chairman by the convention Thursday afternoon by acclamation. Mr. Christie Benet of Columbia, was reelected treasurer. The committee adjourned subject to the call of the chairman. ? LADY BREAKS NECK. ? Aiken Woman Jumps From Runaway Buggy With Fatal Results. Jumping from a buggy when the horse her husband was driving early Thursday afternoon became frightened and ran away, Mrs. Lonnie Redd, who lives near Aiken, was Instantly killed. Her head struck the ground and her neck was broken. Mrs. Redd had been to Aiken with her husband and when their shopping was done they started to return home. Just below the city they passed a friend in another vuggy and playfully Mr. Redd struck at him with the buggy whip. Mr. Redd's horse became frightened at the swish of the whip and started to run. Mr. Redd was unable to control the animal for the reason that the bridle bits broke. He told Mrs. Redd to Jump, and as she did so she was thrown heavily to the ground. Death was Int?taneous. ing place. It has been decorated sumptuously with rich panelling and carving. A deep fireplace rfnd several recessed seats and cosy corners lend a homelike appearance to the great room. Writing rooms for men open into the smoking room. The staterooms aro commodious and the equipment of each is exceptionally complete. In every stateroom artistic bedsteads replae.6 the berth common to most steamships. Each room Is provided with a marble washstand with hot and cold water. The arrangements for light and air are exceptionally complete. The suites vary from two to twelve rooms, all furnished in a variety of decorative styles and color schemes to satisfy the most aesthetic taste. Nearly all the suites have private bathrooms and the other baths aro so distributed as to be convenient to every stateroom. The more elaborate of thoso suites, known as the Imperial suites, include bedrooms, suitting room, breakfast room, two baths, sor vants' room and private dock. One of the moat important innovations in the equipment of the Vaterland is the fire department, composed of experienced fire fighters, recruited fro mthe fire department of Gorman cities. A large cabin, centrally located, has been set aside as the fire headquarters, and hero are the various signalling devices and indicators, running to all parts of the steamship. The special equipment includes a chemical fire engine, smoke helmets and other fire apparatus. The firemen patrol the Vaterland day and night. Another feature is the automatic sprinkling apparatus with which the steamship has been equipped. The steerage passengers on the Vaterland are assured of greater comfort than was enjoyed by the passengers of a first class steamships a generation ago. They occupy separate rooms for from two to six persons, irfstead of the dormitories formerly in use. ... ^ Death Claims Aged Conductor, William Gaston Smith, veteran conductor of the Southern Railway, died at Anderson Thursday.

MAJORITY WAS OYER 200 By Vote of 268 to 50 Party Rules Arc Changed Requiring Two Years Residence in tlie State, Six Months* in the County and Sixty Days in the Club District. Sweeping In the changes in the rules and constitution to safeguard and reform the primary elections were passed by the State Democratic convention, which adjourned sine die late Thursday afternoon, after a session lasting two days. The convention worked steadily throughout the day and all during the afternoon, refusing to recess for dinner. The determination of the convention to carry through the report of the overwhelming majority of the committee on constitution and rules was shown in the steady manner which it proceeded to reject amendments after amendments which were rained in following the tabling of the minority report of the committee. The main fight of the minority was made on the report of the majority of tho committee, which called for personal enrollment, and providing for a residence of two years in tho State, six months in the county and sixty days in the voting precinct as qualillcations to establish residence before being eligible to participate in tho primaries. Strenuous efforts of the minority to knock out the personal enrollment were unsuccessful, as heavy majorities were recorded time and again in favor of the majority roport. All amendment by Senator Clifton, allowing the voter to enroll by either applying to the secretary of his club in person or on written application, signed by a witness, was rejected by a vote of 256 to 5 5. It was notable that not a single speech yas made in the convention in favor of leaving the rules of the party to stand as adopted in 1212. mu* ? A i *? * 1 no queouuiiB ru.iB?a were Bimpiy what changes should be made tc safeguard primary elections effectively. There was a sharp division between the reports of the majority and minority of the committee on constitution and rules, the latter insisting on briefer terms of residence In State and county as one qualification for voting and opposing the rule presented that voters should sign the c^ub rolls in persons. Despite the terrific onslaughts made by a small minority the Democratic State convention voted down the minority report of tho committee on constitution and rules, which which would eliminate the personal enrollment of voters for tho primary and cutting down the residence necessary for qualification from two years to ono year in the State, and from one year to six months in the county, which was lated adopted as an amendment to the majority report. Tho overwhelming vote, 2 68 to 5 0, came on the motion of T. M. Raysor to table tho minority report, and the amendment offered by Senator Clifton. The vote by counties follows, tho ayes favoring tho majority report, which called for personal enrollment and tho residence in tho St.tte two years, county six months and polling precinct thirty days: Ayes.

If a negro, , applicant must have voted for Hampton In 1876. Applicants for enrollment in a Democratic club shall present themKol vna In nnronn 1 vv.vu iu dvu uuiuie iuu bwcreiary and sign the roll or make their mark, if they are unable to write, giving their age, occupation and post office address, or their street number where such designations exist in the club district where they reside. The county committee shall furnish suitable and uniform books of enrollment to the secretaries, such books to bo provided by tho State committee. The club rolls shall be closed on tho second Tuesday in July of each election year. Secretaries of clubs shall fllo the rolls, properly certified, with copies, with the clerks of courts of the various counties, where they shall bo open for inspection. County committees shall purge the rolls, giving due notice by mail to all citizens the legality of whose enrollmen is questioned. State committee shall arrange for two separate campaign meetings in each county, one to be addressed by candidates for Stat? offices and tho other by candidates for United States senator. Plinlrmnn r\ t r\r\ 141 ' ? >uvu vi vvuutjr tUUUUlllWa 111 I the samo congressional districts and Judicial circuits shall arrange tor separate meetings for candidates for congress and solicitor. Polls are to remain open on election day from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m., except In Charleston, where they shall remain open from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. All existing club rolls are declared null and void, as a special provision for 1914. This will requlro a now enrollment of all Democrats for the 1914 primary on the Vast Tuesday in August. Hpecinl Rules for Charleston. Special provisions and stringent regulations were made for Charleston to guard against any possibility of fraud or Irregularity. The Charleston regulations call for the books to be closed sixty days before the first primary and be fllod with the clerk of court. In Charleston books of enrollment are to open on the third Thursday in May, and each applicant to enroll must first sign an application blank properly wJtnossed, which sets forth that he is a citizen of the United States and has resided in Charleston one year, giving residence and 'street number, ago and height. The &Acretary of each club Is to enter the name of the applicant on the club roll within forty-eight hours after he applied, provldod he Is satisfied the application Is bona fide and the signature Is genuine. If the secretary is satisfied the applcant Is not regular he shall forward the application to the county committee, who shall publish the list of such applicants with witnesses and sot a fixed hour for them to appear and show cause why they should bo enrolled. Names which the executive committee decide should bo enrolled are to bo sent back to tho secretaries of the clubs for this purpose. Ample opportunity must bo given by the executive committee within it.-, i - - nit) sixty aays ror the hearing of protests of thoes not entitled to vote in the primary. The names complained of the witness to tho application and the party complaining shall all be printed in a dally newspaper of the city, which must not bo within threo days of the hearing. Tho power is given to use the Australian secret ballot within tho city of Charleston if tho county committee deems it advisable. This is thought to bo an almost absolute safeguard against any possible irregularities, and if tho committee deems it advisable to uso tho Australian ballot in tho city to insure an honest and fair election they can do so under tho now rules adopted. Another feature of tho now rules calls for a voter to place his name only on one club and that at which ho will vote. The county committees are i to lay out the club districts and designate their boundaries. Special provision is made for the primary this year. Officers of ail clubs elected are continued, but ail existing club rolls aro declared "null and void" and must be destroyed. The executive committee is to meet at each county seat on tho first Monday in June of this year and make provision for the ro-onrolment, which is to be done by the secretary of each club. If new clubs are organized they must form within ten days, as provided for in the rules, and any club not conforming to tho rules is to I bo abolished, i ? A. C. L. Train Loaves Track.
