DISASTER DUE TO
BRITISH BOARD
Striking Speech by Senator Smith
Charges British Board of Trade
With Titanic RESPONSIBILITY

Washington, May 2S.-In one of the
most striking and noteworthy speech
es delivered on the floor of the Sen
ate for many days Senator William
Alden Smith, of Michigan, chairman
of the Titanic investigating Commit
tee placed the responsibility for the
Titanic disaster with its loss of six
teen hundred lives upon the British
Board OF Trade.
Senator Smith in his speech, scored
the "laxity of regulations and hasty in
spection" of the British Board and
gave as the causes of the disaster, the
indifference exhibited by Captain
Smith, whose life was lost, and to the
fact that the speed of the Titanic was
increased despite the warning given
as to the heavy ice fields lying in the
ships pathway.
The report of the Senate Committee
which investigated the Titanic disas-
ter finds that the Titanic sailed with
two thousand persons on board with
out being properly tested that but
twenty lifeboats were carried when
the ship had facilities Ser forty eight;
that ice warnings had been carried di-
rect to Captain Smith, but no heed
was given them-speed not relaxed
nor lookout increased, that no prop
er warning was given the passengers
as to the condition of the ship after
the collision; and that there was laxi-
ty in preparing to put of the lifeboats
which carried only part of the num-
Der of passengers they We're capable
Of carrying.
Captain Lord, of the Californian,
the Phantom Ship" seen by the sur
vivors at a distance of only a few
miles from the scene OF the disaster,
was censured for not giving aid to the
Titanic while Captain PCstrum, of the
Carpathia. was praised for rescuing
the survivors and putting back with all
haste for New York.

A LARGE CROP
ON STATE FARM
Large Force Of convicts From State
Penitneltary Employed on


PenItnettafy EmPicyed %
Farm.
Wheeling, W. Va. MAY 25.-The 1912
harvest on the State prison farm, just
east of Moundsville. win be a very
heavy one, judging from present indi-
cations. and according to the state
ment of an official of the prison. all
previous records are in danger Card
ener j. w Miller has been very busy
at work on the farm with about 30
convict TRUSTEES" and has accom-
plished great work, despite the incle-
ment weather which has prevailed at
various times during the past few
weeks. Mr.. Miller in speaking to
newspaper representative, stated that
he was confident that there would be
a splendid crop of vegetables this
year, as all were showing nicely now,
especially tomatoes, and that the ware
rooms and graneries of the state pen
itentiary would be heavily taxed to
store the harvest.
This week the men are employed on
setting out sweet potato plants. Last
evening $4,000 plants had been set
out and 5000 will be planted by tht
last of the week. About $4,000 toma-
to plants have been set out and 1000
more are being prepared to be plac-
ed in the ground. Seven acres of the
great tract has been planted in late
cabbage, and one acre in early cab
bage. Four and one-half acres have
been planted in onions, 10 acres in
beans, one acre in beets, one-half acre
in lettuce and the remainder is plant
ed in potatoes and corn.
Owing to the great amount of work
on the farm, Mr. Miller las been able
to give but little attention to the flow
err beds on the lawn extending the en-
tire length of the institution. He will
probably be given few extra men
The middle of the week, and will start
preparing the beds for setting out
various sorts of flowers in elaborate
and artistic designs. The great
American flag, made Of foliage of
three different colors yellow, red and
purple, with small blue forget-me-nots
in the center to represent stars, which
attracted great attention last year.
will be replanted and will be made
much larger, and a species of white
flowers will be substituted in the
place of the yellow ones.
