NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., Oct. 29.
Captain Klaus Lrsen of Detroit today
made his second Niagara river trip in
a motor bout from the cataract to
Lewistph. He completed the six mile
trip through . the turbulent water in
twenty-five minutes, coming through
without a scratch. Larsen says he Is
through wlh Niagara adventure, but
next year will make a trip across the
Atlantic In his boat, the "Niagara."
Larsen started from the Canadian
Maid of the Mist dock, at 1:50 o'clock,
and swept under the lower steel arch
bridge five minutes later. Coming Into
swift drift, where the river breaks
from the calm upper reach to the
rapids, he veered towards the Canadian-side.
The boat rode the smaller waves
without a tremor, but, caught by the
fierce current about midway of the
rapids, she was hurled up and almost
clear of the mountains of water. Once
the craft was side-swiped snd almost
keeled over by a comber. The rapids ! nations
trip took hardly more than a minute. ' states.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2. The call for

tee, when It meets In Washington, De
cember 19. will show a large increase
of delegates.
The increase of 189 delegates over
that which comprised the Chicago
convention of 108, Is the result of
the reapportionment by congress
which increases the site of the house
of representatives, from tl to 433
members,- or 435 with the two new
states, of New Mexico and Arlxona. A
table showing the apportionment of
the delegates to the 1912 convention
has been prepared by Fronds Curtis,
in charge here of the ro'mblned pub
licity headquarters of the republirsn
national committee, and the t repub
lican congressional committee. This
arrangement Is expected to be adopt
ed withoshange by the convention. I
The basis of delegates for the re
publican convention Is four at large;
In each state and two for earn con- j
