TITANIC MAY HAVE HIT
UNCHARTED OCEAN ROCK

NEW YORK, April 2S.-The sugges-
ton that the Titanic struck ledge of
rock and not an iceberg is made in the
current issue of the Nautical Gazette,
a weekly shipping. paper. The possibility
of such an accident Is urged because
the ship struck in the same longitude
as the half-submerged Virgin Rocks to
the north, and possibly in the same spot
where the Naronic foundered in 1898.
The Titanic, it is suggested, being the
deepest ship of the seas, might have
hit a rock that other ships have passed
over safely. The Gazette says that at
least a survey of the place should be
made by the United States government.
Under the head of What Did She
Striker" the Gazette says: Is
"A strange possibility arises from the
coincidence in proximity or position of
the Titanic and the Naronic disasters.
The position where the Titanic met her
doom was latitude 41.46, longitude SOFA.
This Is south of the Grand banks, but
in Just about the same longitude as the
dangerous seni-submerged Virgin Rocks
to the north of the banks. While the
banks of Newfoundland are supposed to
be caused by the sands from the Gulf
of St. Lawrence and the action of the
gulf stream, the existence of the Virgin
Rocks and even the proximity of the
surface of the Georges shoals nearer the
coast shows that even in this distant
part OF the Atlantic there may be sub
merged lodges of rock never hitherto dis
covered

MILLEN, Ca, April 2O.-Standing in
drizzling rain. nearly 100 citizens of
Effingham county met the train on
which Governor Wilson was speeding to-
ward Macon from Savannah Saturday
morning at Guyton and gave him cor

minute speech.
Governor Wilson also stood on the
wet ground with them and under an
umbrella which one of their number
held over him.
Daniel G. Heidi, who went down to
Savannah to meet the governor, intro
duced him in a sentence. Altogether il
was one of the best arranged and most
satisfactory short stops that the COVER
nor has made, for he came at once into
close touch with his hearers and had
made himself at home among them be-
fore the train moved on.
A large bouquet of flowers tied with
the national colors was sent aboard for

we know that even the wickedest was

East Grand Forks and Grafton will
meet in a football melee in the latter
city tomorrow, provided the snow Is
not too deep, and the outcome Of this
mixup will have considerable bearing
on the proposed game between Grand
Forks and the East Side.
Grand Forks cleaned Grafton by
the score of. IL to 6 two weeks ago
and then came through with the an
nouncement that they would not take
on the East. Siders this fall unless
the Graftonites.
which is characteristic of East Side
athletes, the boys across the river i'm
mediately set about to schedule a
contest with Grafton. in the hopes that
they would then have a chance to take
Ia rap at their .old-time rivals on this
side Of the creek.
The East Side team is determined to
whip Grafton tomorrow afternoon.
They believe they can do 1t. and con-
in any other department Of sport.
Now. supposing they do. Won't 1t
make a battle worth the price of adj
mission when they meet Grand Forks.
and thig game will certainly come off
or the boys on this side will have a
lot Of explaining to do.
Grafton is heavy and will be. a bet
ter team than competed with the
Grand Forks two weeks in the past.
The East Siders will find that they
will have to depend to a great extent
upon their speed to win tomorrow.
This speed has counted in all the bat
ties that they have played this year
and in every encounter they have trot-
ted home with the winning count. so
that a victory for the visitors is not
unexpected. by many supporters of the
East Side eleven.
The game tomorrow will start at
$3.50 o'clock. The East Siders will go
to the field Of battle in the morning,
returning home tomorrow night.

old English law of entail. the estate
goes to the eldest living son Of the di-
