British Probers Into Disaster To Examine Olympic Sister Ship of Titanic to be Subjected to Inspection StOkers Who Survived Say
 Watertight Bulkheads
 Were Opened

London, May 10-That number of the watertight compartment doors were open an hour after the collie sion with the iceberg that sunk the Titanic was the statement made to- day by Frank Scott, a greaser of the liner who escaped in the last boat.
 Like Thomas Dillon, who preceded him. Scott testified that after the compartment doors had been closed from the bridge the chief engineer or dered his men to go through the four boiler rooms in order to reach the pumps in boiler room No. 5. To car- ry out this order the men were com pelled to open four watertight bulk heads and these were left open.
 Frank H. Morris, baker on the Titanic, gave a vivid description of the scenes that accompanied the sink ing of the great liner.
 Morris told how the steerage pas- sengers had been held from escape by the locked gate. He said that sixteen persons had been saved from col lapsible lifeboat by the boat in which he was. He said that there was room in his boat for more persons and that the men had decided to return but the Titanic sank as they were rowing back. Morris said that they drown ed by hundreds in the water and only three called for help. He believed that the others were dead.
 Charles Joughin, chief baker of the Titanic, testified that more women might have been saved but for their fear of risking their lives in the small boats He declared that he had great difficulty in getting woman to board his boat and was fpmpelled to pick some of them up and toss them into the boat.
 i've are safer here than in the life boats,'' he said the women told him.
 Joughin said that he heard the stew ards and the interpreters directing the third class passengers to the boata. The hearing, following the testimony of Joughin. was adjourned until Tues- day next in order to enable thefprob- CTS to inspect the Olympic. sister ship of the lost Titanic. aS

 CORONER FINDS

Winsted, May t4---In q finding hand ed down today Coroner Herman finds that George F. wilcox. 66, found dead beside retaining wall in sharon on April 2, met death from wounds in- flicted by a person or persons as yet unknown.
 Wilcox had been visiting relatives in Waterbury and on returning to Sharon on April stopped for a timevat the home of Charles Jarvis. There the coroner says he drank Jamaica ginger and when he left the house was slightly intoxicated. He also had words while at the Jarvis house with a William Teater. 19 years old.

Later in the evening one of the Jarvis boys on returning home found Wilcox's body leaning against a stone retaining wall not far from the house. There were two cuts in the head and the coroner further states that the cuts were clean and there were no marks on the stones in the near vicinity that would indicate that he had fallen from the wall. The eggs in the bag which he carried were also unbroken. A watch in a vest pocket had been stopped at 9:05 by the breaking of the crystal. No arrests. the coroner says. will be made today

EATING EACH OTHER
AWFUL CONDITIONS IN FAMINE
 DISTRICTS OF CHINA.

Shanghai, May 10-Reports of ter rible suffering from starvation and horrible tales of cannibalism were brought here today by courier from the districts of Kiangsu and Anhwei. Famine has been imminent since last September when the floods swept over the rice fields and ruined the entire crops.
 It is said that one-third of the pop ulation has already starved to death and now in their desperation the SUIT vivors are eating each other. The roadways are strewn with the dead who dropped in their flight from the stricken districts and along the grand canal can be seen the corpses of those who sought to escape by boat. An effort is being made to send relief but the demands are so great that the workers are swamped.

Lobby Organized

GET RID OF TT-PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICANS AIDING

Washington, May 10-"Save the Commerce Court,'' was the frantic plea made today to Republicans of the House. Headed by Representa- tives Driscoll, of New York, and Ste vens, of Minnesota, 'lobby" for the new court was organized to secure votes against it's abolishment on the final vote in the House, when the leg islative. executive and judicial appro- priation btll comes up for final pas- sage.
 To put every representative on rec ord, by a roll call, Is planned by will be demanded on the clause abol- ishing the court, to- repudiate, If pos- sible, the Houses action "in commit tee'' yesterday, when 1t voted 120 to 49 to abolish the court.
 By a vote of 176 to 120 the House today amended the legislative, execu- tive and Judicial bill abolishing the Bureau of Trade Relations in the State Department and consolidating the Bu- reauS of Manufactures and Statistics in the Department of Commerce and Labor.
 tion bill is over the Commerce Court clause. The final roll call Is the last desperate stand of those friendly to the court. Today it was insistently rumored in the House that President Taft might veto the appropriation bill to save the court. This drastic action is seriously thought probable by many Republicans.
 The alleged scandal affecting Judge Archibald Of the Commerce Court Is not figuring in the '1og rolling" to abolish the court. His affair was not mentioned in the debate. The Dem ocrats base their attack of the court upon it's alleged antagunism of the Interstate Commerce Commission and economy. The Republicans favoring the court declare the court has not been in existence long enough to prove tts value.

HOME RULE BILL PASSES
 END READING Has Majority of 1O1 as Opposed to 94 on First Reading and Will Soon be Ready
 For Lords Redmond Says Irishmen of World Accept Bill as Set clement of Interna-
 tiOnal Quarrel

London. May 10.-The Government carried the Home Rule bill on it's second reading in the House of Com mons last night by a majority of 10f. as against 94 for the first reading. The vote was 312 to 271.
 It was the most largely attended House of the present Parliament Both sides had done their utmost to obtain every available vote. Ex-Premier Balfour and MT. Churchill, the First Lord of the Admiralty, returned from weymouth in order to be present..
 The announcement of the figures. showing an increased majority, was greeted with enthusiastic demonstra- tons on the Government side, and Mir. Asqu1th, the Prime Minister, received a great ovation on leaving the House with his wife and daughter from the crowd assembled outside.
 Ten days have now been given to the Home Rule bil There remain the committee stage, report stage, and third reading stage before the bill 10 ready for the House of Lords. To these three stages the Government purposes to give not more than sever : ty-eiEht days.
 MT. Redmond entered the fray yes- terday afternoon with an assertion of the justice of the claim of Irishmes1 to manage their own affairs, which, he said, was now generally conceded. we'll satisfied with the course of the debate. The critics of the bill had built their arguments on the remark able proposition that, having obtained 9 great charter of liberty, the Irish would prove themselves a Nation of fools and would immediately set to york to wreck and ruin their own Constitution. Such malicious folly had never been committed by any other section of the empire to which home rule had been granted, 50 why should it be attributed to Ireland7 ed. continued Mr. Redmond, 1t woul1 become the highest intercss oe the Irish Nation to ez<eguard the Co-<5- tuition, }ts utilize it in moderation. ts cultivate the mort friendly relations with Great Britain, and, for the first time in Ireiand's history, to do all in it's power to promote the unity, the prosperity, and the welfare of the empire. r
 The Irish leader said he firmly be- lieved that in a very short time all the old.ssparty divisions in Ireland would would haae osaRpeaT ts effect of men of all political views. If he had the task of nominating the Irish Sen- ate tomorrow he would put in 1t a large majority of men who had not been on his side in the struggle for home rule in the last thirty years.
 MT. Redmond said he had been a Fcderalist all his life, and welcomed the present bill as the first step to- ward great system of federation all around. The Nationalists, he said. accepted the bill as final settlement of the international quarrel between England and Ireland, and when say. ing this he spoke not only for Irish men but for those in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Aus tralia.

Rushing Soldiers
 To Mexican Border

Denver. Colo. May 10-Every man available for duty Is being rushed te the Mexican border from Colorado, according to statements of army of- ficers here today. Wednesday after noon eighty-seven men left the re- cruiting station at Fort Logan for El Paso to join the Twenty-second In- fantry.
 Five hundred more United States army recruits at Fort Logan are awaiting the arrival of a detail of the Twenty-second Infantry en route here from the south. The detail is being sent, 1t is said, to escort the rockies to El Paso. These will reinforce the Eighteenth Infantry as well as the Twenty-second.
 That an emergency exists is indi- cated by orders broadening the quah- fications for service. That there is great desire among young men to join the army Is indicated by the rapid recruiting at Fort Logan, where 150 men enlisted last week.
