OFFICIALS OF WHITE.
 STAR CRITICISED

New York, April 1S-General con- demnation of the. White Star line of ficials for the suppression of news of the Titanic Monday was voiced by the newspapers here. The lack of life boats was also generally condemned. Following are extracts from the principal editorials:
 From the New York Press-"Popu- lar anger blazed up on the discovery that the lifeboat capacity of the de stroyed giant of the seas was about one- third the cargo of human freight. This passion had been famed by the conviction of deceit in the White Star hom office the day before which cruelty is now found to have been a deliberate deception of the heart wrung relatives begging pitifully for the truth. That passion was inffamed to white heat by the stupid boasts Of the home office that it's steamship was unsuitable when the home office knew the Titanic had gone to the bot tom many hours before."
 From the New York Times-s'It seems an assured fact that if the TT- tanic had carried enough lifeboats to hold all it's human cargo there would have been no loss of life"
 From the New York World-'fOut of the wreckage emerges one clear and unmistakable fact-if 800 passengers could be saved with the insufficient lifeboat equipment of the Titanic, all of them could have been saved if there had been enough boats to take them off,

 FROM COMMON PLEAS JUDGE

For attempting to beg ten cents from Judge Scott of the court of Common Pleas yesterday afternoon. Thomas Fftzgibbons of Norwalk, was taken into custody by Deputy Sher- if Ladrigan in the county court house.

Yesterday after noon the witness, who appeared to be slightly intoxicated, insisted upon keeping his hat on in the court room and also made considerable noise. He refused to doff his lid so Deputy Sheriff Ladrigan put him out. He met Judge Scott walking in the cor ridor and attempted to get a slight loan. He didn't get it.

CROOK WHO ONCE GAVE SLIP HERE
 CAUGHT AT LAST

Word has been received by the To- cal authorities from Terre Haute, Ind, of the fact that Harry St. Claire, long wanted in that city for the embezzlement of $2,000, is cap tured at last, after chase lasting several years.
 St. Claire was once in the hands of the local city court but got away by furnishing bonds of $700 and forfeit ing them just as the chief of police of Terre Haute reached here with ex- tradition papers.
 St. Claire, who went by many aliases, was a fortune teller and his method of operation was to prescribe to his victims that they should secure a sum of money, anywhere from $500 to $10,000, place it in a small bag which he would furnish, and carry it about their necks.
 He would bless this money for them, the idea being that the money in the bag would thereupon become a iodestone to attract other coin to the happy bearer.
 city until he caught someone who would put large sum, $1,0O0 or $2,- 900 in bag. He would work the old greens-good game, substituting a bag containing worthless paper for the one containing the greenbacks, and make a quick getaway" ? 4sa.
 St. Claire had been in this city only one day when Superintendent Birm- ingham picked up one of his circu- lars and recognized him as the man wanted in Terre Haute. St. Clairc's arrest followed, but he secured a law yer, furnished bonds of $700 and made his escape. Since then he has worked the same game successfully in other cities and the Terre Haute au- thorities trailed him in vain until the present time.

This has long been subject of controver- sy among the bibliographers of '1booze,'' but all the evidence points to John Welby Henderson, a native son of North Car olina, as the originator of the modern American connection.
