which sank in midocean with 1,5l1
souls after collision with an ice
berg on April a. was pronounced
to-day by Lord Mersey, the presid-
ing Judge, before large audience.
The Court finds that the collis-
ion of the Titanic with the iceberg
was due TO the excessive speed at
which the ship was navigated; that
proper watch was not kept; that
the ships boats were properly low
cred. but that arrangements for
manning them we're insufficient;
that the Leyland liner California
might have reached the Titanic if
she had attempted to do so; that
the track followed was reasonably
safe with proper vigilance, and that
there was no discrimination against
third~class passengers in the saw
ing Of life.

Line, and Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon

BILL MOOSE FOLLOWERS
MADE A POOR SHOWING

Reports from the ten Congress
sional districts in Kentucky where
the Progressive party held conven-
tions, show that in every district
there were several counties In
which little interest was manifest
ed in the new party. In the Tenth
not one county was represented and
half a dozen delegates proceeded to
elect delegates and alternates to the
national convention at Chicago.
In several conventions President
Taft was severely criticised in res
olutions, as was Senator Bradley.

In Kentucky Passed Off

SEVERAL HAD Nd OPPOSITION

The first Statewide primary cleo
ton under the law enacted by the
last Legislature was held in Ken
lucky Saturday. Except in few
districts where there were contests
within the Democratic party which
had aroused the interest of the vot-
ers to a high pitch, the vote was
very light.
The storm centers upon which
interest was fixed chiefly were the
First, Third and Eighth Congress
oAGl districts. I'm the First, which
3 now represented by Senator-elect
Ollie NJ. James, there were four
candidates. Judge A. w. Barkley,
of Paducah, seems to have won by
a majority OF at least 5000, with
Denny p. Smith, of Trigg county,
as the runner-up. The other can
didates were Jake Corbett, o. Bal
lard county, and John X. Hendrick'
of McCrackep.
The contest in the Third district
between Congressman r. Y. Thorn
as, Jr., and former Congressman
John S. Rhea was especially close
both claiming a victory, Mr.. Thorn
ga by 200 votes and Mr.. Rhea by
1S5. 1t may take a recount to de-
oida tho contest
The surprise of the day came in
the Eighth district, where Repre-
ecrtatiye Harvey Helm had practi'
cal,y A wa!kaway from Judge Jere
A. Sullivan, the friend of Gov. Nc
Creary ana for whom the Governor
spoke in Richmond last Friday

Acquitted of Charge of
Shooting Husband.
Thanked JURY FOR DECISION
Wounded Husband Declares
Thar His Wife Lied in
Her Testimony.
THE CL0SH or 4 FAMOUS CASE

Atlanta, Ca. Aug. 2.--"Twelye
good men and true" to-day declar-
ed Daisy Opie Grace mot guilty OF
Of the charge OF shooting her hus-
hand, Eugene II. Grace, with in
tent 70 murder.
The verdict was reached after
two hours deliberation, during
which the accused woman nader
went all the agonies of one in her
position. When she was supported
into the courtroom just before the
q..iGnse o. t..e jay at. e.c,"cS
this afternoon, Mrs. Grace appeared
10 be bordering on collapse. Tremb-
ling from head to foot, she was as
sisted to the chair she had occu-
pied all during the trial, which be
gan last Monday, and awaited the
announcement which was to make
her either a felon or a free woman.
As the jurymen fled in, one by
one Mrs Grace enlightened her
self in her chair, then sank back
and gritted her teeth.
Gentlemen of rhe iurY, have
you agreed upon verdict"
Judge Roan's inquiry broke a
silence similar TO that Of the tomb.
1--WE have" responded the fore
man. I'VE find the defendant not
/ guilty"
Several seconds elapsed before
soul in the courtroom stirred. Mrs.
Grace bowed her head and uttered
fervent prayer. Then the news
paper neu. making d mad scramble
for the door to get the news to the
world, transformed the scene into
one of activity. Some enthusiast
tic spectator cave vent to his feel
ings and shouted. Then there was
some handclapping. Judge Roam
raised his hand, and any demon
stration that might have occurred
was quickly suppressed.
While Mrs. Grace's head was still
bowed Attorney Moore, at her side,
arose and said:
Your honor. Mrs. Grace would
like to thank the jury"
Like one in a daze, the woman
was assited TO her feet.
Gentlemen" she said in = voice
hardly audible, Il want to thank
you for your kindness to me-"
friends crowded around her and
grasped her limp hand. Not even
a smile expressed the relief she
must have felt after her terrible or
: deal.
Grace Disappointed.
Nefnan, Ca, Aug. 2.-"In her

home here this afternoon when in
& formed that his wife had just been

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
Virtually Completed When COMMITTEES
On Resolutions Adjourned.

Chicago. June 21.-When the resolu-
tions committee adjourned at IL
o'clock. today. to permit the members
to attend the Republican convention
the platform virtually was completed.
The draft of the document read to the
full membership apparently proved
acceptable, and the members general
Iy expressed satisfaction over the
planks dealing with monopoly and the
courts.
The platform is more concise, than
those of the recent past, and is espe-
cially noteworthy in, that IL does not
deal with particular measures, hut
rather with issues in general. No di-
rect reference by name is made to any
pending legislation. The administra-
ton is commended and President Taft
is complimented for his "comprehen-
sive, fair and vigorous dealing with
all issues
The Administered lions of Roosevelt
and Mckinley are also extolled.
The committee will meet later in the
day. to put the finishing touches on
the platform.
