HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
STIRS WASHINGTON

Washington. April 16-Stirred by the
horror of the Titanic disaster all Of
flcial Washington was preparing today
for steps to minimize the possibilities
of another such tragedy Congress
began framing legislation TO govern
1ifc-saving appliances and President
TAFT, doubly touched by the probable
loss OF his military aide. Major Archi-
bald Butt, held conferences with cab
met officers to consider government
control over the operation of wireless.
Action which may result in a fed
eral investigation into the cause of the
wreck and the enactment of protective
measures was begun when resolutions
were offered by Representative Mott
and Hardwick. The Mott resolution
provides for searching inquiry by the
merchant marine committee. The Hard =
wick resolution provides for life saving
appliances. Under the Mott resolu-
ton the merchant marine committee
would sit as a court and compel the
attendance of witnesses.
No More Big Vessels.
Chairman Alexander Of the committee
said today that the catastrophe would
stop the building of such enormous yes
sells. He favors n law to limit the
size of vessels which visit American
ports. The committee also expects "a

MIR. KENNEDY'S PROSPECTS

Many wonder how the Fifth, new cengressional district, will go in the coming election The sad death of Dr. Knight. admittedly the strongest man that the Republicans could nom mate. has made Senator Kennedy s election almost certain.
 That Kennedy is a fighter and a vote getter is an established fact and he has proven it beyond doubt in many contests In the old Fifth sena torial district. in 1894. Webster, Re i publican, defeated Davidson. Demo crats. by 5O9 In 1898 there not 5 . Democrat of any standing in the party who would dare make the con test Everything was Republican, the landslide was coming and every one hastened to cover Not so William Kennedy A Democrat in fair weath- CT he was also willing to go to de feat for its principles He accepted the nomination, made a great fight and although defeated sby 1,O54, he boiled 1884 votes to 4,155 for David son two years before, or, in the dark est year of the Connecticut Demo- cracy. he boiled T29 more votes than his party's candidate in the previous election Almost every where else in the state heavy Democratic losses |, were recorded.
 Two years later H. R. Durant. then one of the most popular young Re pubIicans in the District was named against Kennedy, but the vote was Durant 5,66s; Kennedy, 6,O66. a Democratic plurality of S9S. In six years Kennedy had changed a Repuh- iican plurality of 1,O54 into a Demo cratic plurality of 3eS, almost 1,5OO votes besides the normal gain which in those six years was strongly Re publican.
 In 1904 Kennedy was a candidate for Congressman at-Large and ran almost 5000 votes better than the National nominees at the head of his ticket
 Let us look at the Fifth congress slonal district vote for a moment. It is new district and accurate statis- tics are not at hand, but two years ago LitcAfieId county then in the Fourth Congressional district boiled for .eongress as follows. Fill. Repub l lfcak srSs4; Wilson, Democrat. 4,964; 1 Hill-s plurality in Litchfie1d County l being 1,42O. Now taking four of the 1 larger places in New Haven county, | which are now in the Fifth district | viz- Ansonia, Derby, Naugatuck and 1 congressman two years ago as fol- |

Totals 6,6l

This is a Democratic plurality of I.240 votes. or within 18O of offsettfn s the Hill-Wilson vote of LitchfieId County.
 But those towns in New Haven County will be Stronger for Kennedy than any other man that could be nominated. He has time and again proved it in contests in the past. Much has been said about Kennedy being weak in Litchfield County, but when these rumors are vraced to their source they have been found to come almost entirely from falsehoods cir culated by Republican politicians and newspapers and men who feel and know that William Kennedy in Con- gress will give a square deal to every man and every business interest in the district and not devote his time to improve and promote the private welfare of a special few.
 There is harmony in the Dem mocratfc ranks. the convention that nominated the candidate was fair and open. Senator Meara and shis friends openly pledged their support to the nominee and everything points to success.
 There Is the Bull Moose vote. What 1t will be no one knows and we are dealing in facts and figures This much, however, seems certain, in the Congressional contest in the Fifth dis irict Of those who will vote for Will liam Kennedy for Congress feel con- fdent that they will have a represen- tative in the next Congress who will be the representative of the people of the district and not of the privi- legged few.
