MERCER and
AUBURN TO
CLASH HERE
ON THE DIAMOND TOMORROW
Three Rafting Good Games
to Be Played

An aggregation of stars seldom en-
countered in the college baseball
world will meet on the diamond here
tomorrow and next day. when Nero ar
aud Auburn begin their series of
three games on Dudley Field.
1t will be the event of the early
baseball season in Americus, as the
fans have had no taste of baseball
locally since last summer, except ar
a;mateurish brush with Albany. But
the games this week will be rattling
good ones all the way, as both Mar
Ger and Auburn have seasoned college
teams.
Conditions give promise of being
ideal for the games, as everything
has been done to make ready for the
collegians. The grounds have been
pbS IA ChtCliCllI Alter the
heavy rains of the early part of the
week, it is hardly likely that rain
will interfere with the series. Every
other preparation has already been
made.
The two games on Friday will come
so that they may be enjoyed best, one
in the morning at 1030 o'clock and
one in the afternoon at 80 o'clock.
This will make an entire day of rat
tling good baseball to be enjoyed By
all
Every fan and lover of baseball in
the city is urged to attend the games,
as the local team will profit from the
proceeds. For this reason, if for no
other, it is expected that the a.
tendance will be record-breaking.
There is no doubt, either, that a gilt
edge article of ball will be served
to the fans here.

.BAPTISTS WILL
SOON GATHER
ONCE MORE
this time in OKLAHOMA
AmGriCUS Will Then Be Well
Represented

AmerlcuS Baptists in common with
those throughout the state, are look.
ing forward with the usual interest t.
the annual convention of the Southern
Baptist church at Oklahoma City. on
May 1918. 1t will be the fifty-sey
enth session of the body which rep
resents approximately $4,000 churches
and 100000 members.
Among the principal matters of in
terest which the convention will be
called u0cn to consider will be the
report ia joint committee of North
crn and 8, uthern Baptists, looking to
the establishment of certain principles
of comfy between the two bodies. The
PARTICULAR situation which brought
about the appointment of the COM
rlittCe WAS the coming over of large
proportion of the Baptists of New
Mexico from alignment with the north.
ern wing of the denomination to the
Southern body. This action was takan
Il S stated on account of questions of
pcli,y which arose among the New
Mexico ',aptists. Leaders of The
Southern Baptists assert their bel #
that all of the Baptist churches n
New Mexico eventually will belong to
the Southern body.
An effort will be made at the con-
Y ation to provide for raising a large
chur, h building fund by the home
mission board and to enlarge greatly
the efforts of the denomination for
training and developing backward
churches in various sections of the
South.
Much interest is also to center
around the proposed effort to raise a
great fund for foreign missions in
celebration of the centennial of Adon-
i1am Judson, the noted Baptist foreign
mission pioneer.
The white Baptists of the South have
expended $1O,5OO,OOO for religious work
including 100000 by the Sunday
school board, Nashville, Tenn, $780,
900 expended by the foreign mis-
sion board, Atlanta, and 100000 by
The foreign mission board, Richmond,
Va. Much concern is felt, it is stated,
as to whether the two mission boards
will close the year without debt.

olympic,s Crew Strikes.

Southampton. April 25.-When the White Star liner Olympic, sister ship of the Titanic. was ready to sail from here yesterday for New York, 300 fire men and engine room workers quit the vessel, declaring the collapsible boats on the Olympic were unsea- worthy The Olympic is lying off Ryde, Isle of Wight, with 1,400 pas sengers aboard and no possibility of sailing before noon today, if then.
 There were reports that some of the passengers had refused to sail. but for the present they all remain aboard the steamer. It was also reported soon after the strike was inaugural ed the company had succeeded in get ting men to take the strikers places but this proved to be incorrect.
 AS matter of fact, the difficulty has extended to the crew, which now declines to sail with the "black leg firemen who were brought aboard yesterday and the British Seafarers union is supporting the men in this fight. Tickets are patrolling the docks to prevent the recruiting of "black legs.p

 Senator Smith wanted to know if Hichens had any trouble in the boat with Major Peuchen. He replied the major had tried to take command.
 It had been testified that Kitchens had refused to go back and pick up other survivors. "None of the women in the boat had asked him to go back he said.
 Major Peuchen said yesterday that when you were asked to go back after some who were drowning, you replied you weren't going back after those stiffs."
 Yes, l saw that in the newspapers this morning. It's lie. sir.

 How long did it require for things to get quiet?" asked the senator; T mean for the cries and screams of the drowning people to cease?"
 About an hour and a half"
 "If any persons had asked you to take them in, you would?"
 Certainly, l was watching for ey. erybody, anybody" said Lowe, "but to have gone into the drowning mass would have been useless. All would have been lost"
 How many persons were on your boat when you went alongside the Carpathia?"
 About 45 took them off sink ing colapsible boat. left the bodies of three men"
 Senator Smith wanted to know about the shooting on the Titanic while she was sinking. Lowe said he had fired three shots into the water to scare away some immigrants on one of the decks, who, he feared, were about to swamp loaded boat, by jumping He was certain the shots struck no one. Lowe was then tenn porarily excused.
 Lightoller Recalled.
 c. H. Lightoller, second officer Of the Titanic, took the stand immedi, ately after the recess.
 Senator Burton asked the witness to relate his conversation with Ismay on the Carpathia. Lightoler said he and his brother officers talked over the sailing of the Cedric and had agreed it would have been jolly good idea" if they could catch the vessel. It would result in keeping the men together and let everyone get home.
 MT. lsmay, when the weather | thickened, remarked to me- said lightoller. that it was hardly pos sible that we could catch the boat He asked me if thought it desirable that he send a wireless to hold the Cedric and said most certainly. The telegram was sent. We were all agreed that it was the best course and we all advised it."
 Iightoller declared that when the telegram came from New York say ing the Cedric would not be held, he urged MT. Ismay to insist upon the Cedric being held.
 T will say that at that time, Mir. Ismay was in no mental condition to transact business" said Lightoller. "He seemed to be possessed with the idea that he ought to have gone down with the ship, because there were women who went down. tried my best to get that idea out of his head but could not
 The doctor on the Carpathia had trouble with MT, Ismay on the same ground and I am sure that doctor will verify my statements.
 T was told on the Carpathia that Chief Officer Wild, who was working at the forward eollapsible, told MT Ismay there were no more women to go. Ismay still stood back and Wild who was big. powerful man. bundled him into the colapsible boat"

Who told you this?" q don't know"

QOu L hllOM.
 Senator Smith said that in previous testimony the witness had declared he had not spoken to MT. Ismay. This Lightoller denied. The chairman piled him with questions.
 That is all in my previous testi- mony." said the officer. You can find it there"
 q know we can find 1t there," re- torted Senator Smith, with asperity. Your memory, however, seems to be better today than it was last week. I'd like to test it out"
 Senator Smith then endeavored to discover how long it took to get out the lifeboats and kept after the wit ness, who became impatient under the gruelling.
 We did all we could" he replied, explosively. T consider the men act ed we'll and quickly. The circum- stances ought to be taken into con slderation. We were not at boat drill; we were saving human life"
 Senator Smith asked Lightoller why, when he testified in New York, he didn't tell about the sending of the telegram from the Carpathia urging that the Cedric be held.
 T didn't say anything about it then, because there had been nothing said about the telegram at that time said Lightoller. After that there was considerable discussion about it in the papers. l considered myself largely responsible for the sending of that telegram I urged it.'
 How do you know it was sent?"
 Because MT 1smay showed it to me. said it was sent, and showed me the answer" Lightolled replied.
 Senator Smith sought to establish the day on which the witness had con ferred with Ismay concerning the Cedric telegram. Lightoller said he thought it was "Wednesday.
 Do you know whether any other telegrams were sent?p
 'Yes, after Mir. Franklin's reply, understood. a second was sent urgin, that the Cedric be held"
 Did you know then that the sen ate was going to hold an investiga tion?'
 Most certainly not, or the telegram would never have been sent Our solt idea was to keep witnesses for suel an investigation which we knew would be made in England.F
 Lightoller said it was an open ques ton as to whether the explosion: heard when the Titanic sank were bursting boilers of bursting bulk heads.
 Do you know if all the passengers were aroused and told the ship wal sinking?" continued the senator.
 Not that can state accurately hut am sure that all were aroused
 "How do you account for the 1,b0( people who could not be found; where were they when the boats left?"
 That I cannot fathom; l didn't g, aft"
 Could anything have possibly beer done after the crash to prevent tho sinking of the ship?"
 Absolutely nothing replied Light oller
 Lightoller said a vessel of the TT tanic tonnage going at rate of 2 knots an hour could be stopped in [ minute and a half, or a distance of quarter of mile.
 Senator Smith asked If Lightolle had seen the lights of the mysteriou vessel ahead.
 I sI saw the light, he answered, "i was two points off the starboar, bow"
 Did you know what the light were?'
