tative Robert c. wicloliffe, of Lou
isiana, was run down on the tracks
Of the Southern railway in Potomac
Park and instantly killed. He had
left the capital Monday tc be Rway
Tuesday on a fishing trip. How he
happened to stray on the railroad
tracks has not been cleared up. The
engineer of the train said he saw the
congressman too late to avoid the &C
cident.
News of the tragic death of tho
prominent Southern representative
travelled fast, but did not reach Mrs.
Wickliffe before she had started for
the capitol, as was her daily custom,
to watch the proceedings in tho
house. That body was about to adj
journ out of respect of the memory
of Mr.. wiclxliffe when Speaker Clark
and several members happened to
catch a glimpse of his wife in, the
gallery There was hurried con-
ference. Representatives Estopinal,
of Louisiana, and Cullop. Of Indiana,
made their way quietly to where Mrs.
Wickliffe was sitting and invited her
down stairs to Speaker Clark's Of

they broke the news to her. n6rs.

to be taken home. Mrs. Champ
Clark. a close friend, was quickly
summoned Is
Mrs. Wickliffe was one of the pro-
moters of the. recent Dolly Madison
breakfast in this city, and has been
prominently active among the Demo-
cratic women of the capital. Before

What Voting Power Does the
Steam Roller Represent.
Chicago Evening Post.)

The decision in the Ninth Alabama
contest yesterday was most pminous,
There the Roosevelt delegates had the
right on their side. They represented
the majority district convention. The
Taft men were boilers.
Yet the national committee ground
down the Roosevelt claimants and by
sheer force of Taft majority seated Tia
Taft delegates.
Analyze the vote by which this injus-
tice was accomplished and there stands
out clear as a skull-and-bone poison label
the arsenic" that is being given the Re-
publican party. Here is the pro-Taft
roll call and the things it represents:
Alabama. Arizona. Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia. Mississippi, North Carolina.
Tennessee. Texas, Virginia and. West
Virginia-States of the solid South
where there Is practically no Republican
party and no Republican electoral votes.
Colorado. Indiana, Michigan and
Washinsuon-States where crooked pri-
the will of the voters,
Hawaii, Alaska, Philippine Islands and
Porto Rico-which have no votes In the
ELECTORAL college.
Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Missouri,
New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Okla
homa. Oregon and Pennsyvania-States
which have declared their overwhelm-
ing preference for Roosevelt either
through conventions or by tremendous
popular majorities.
In other words, If We exclude from the
Taft majority on the national committee
representatives of States which either
have no electoral votes or are Roosevelt
States. we find this Imposing column fad
ing away. Seven States-COnnecticut.
Iowa. Massachusetts,. Montana. New
Hampshire. New Mexico and Rhode
Island-are its extreme strength on any
basis Of honest and effective Representa-.
ton of the Republican party.
An analysis of this sort, which is as
true as it Is simple. must convince any
man how unrepresentative the major
ity" in the natibnal committee Is. Going
from the ideal into the practical. It IS
equally evident how utterly that major
ity lacks the voting support which must
be got If Republican President ds to be
elected in November.

NEW YORK, April 22-Winnowed
from among many pathetic stories OF
the Titanic catastrophe today was a
ta'e of two c'ergymen who went down
with the Titanic while ministering to
the stricken passengers.
One Of the clergymen was the Rev.
Thomas r. d. Byles, of Westminster
parish, London, who was on his way
to oHicate at the marriage OF his
brother in Brooklyn, and the other a
German priest whose name is UNI
known.
Father Ryles was in the first cabin
and the German priest in tho steer
age, Both ministers had celebrated
mass in the ,steerage Sunday morning.
The story OF their deaths IVES related
today by three women survivors Of
the Titanic. Ellen Mocklare, Bertha
Moran and Miss Mccoy.
When the liner struck the iceberg,
they said Father Byles came down the
lift, commanding the people to be
ca m and giving them ALSO ution and
his blessing.

being lowered" said Miss Mockare.

boats from Vancouver to Australia
have coaled at Honolulu; but Fan
ming Island is nearer their direct
course, and it does not suffer, like
Honolulu, from the narrow policy
which our American cousins show to-
ward international shipping.
Some sixty years ago two British
sea captains, tired of roaming, set
tied down on Tanning and Washing
ton Islands, and agreed upon a joint
ownership. While they lived life ran
smoothly, but their dusky descend
ants quarreled over the inheritance,
and appealed to the Supreme Court
of Fiji, which ultimately ordered a
sale of the whole property, and a di-
vision of the proceeds. A German
syndicate negotiated for the islands,
and there was some discussion wheth-
er, in the event of their completing the
purchase, the sovereignty would pass
to the 'Fatherland.' Japan Is also
understood to have made efforts to
obtain the property, An order in
council finally settled that in any
case the possession must remain Brit
ish. At the sale a Frenchman made
the highest bid, and secured both the
islands by becoming a naturalized
British subject. He holds them by
the gracious permission of the King,
and he is unable to make any trans
fer of them without King Georges
consent as signifed by the Secretary
of State for the Colonies.
This French gentleman, who is, by
the way, an enthusiast about the
South Sea Islands, soon realized that
it was beyond the capacity of any
one man to develop Tanning Island
and English Harbor to the full. He
is, therefore, transferring his owner,

passed under the jurisdiction of the

Building Is Under Construction.
A building to house the school of
journalism is under construction at
the southwestern corner of the main
university campus in New York city.
Until this structure is completed in
1918 classes will be held in other uni
versity buildings. Because of the lack
of accommodations, registration will
be restricted the first year to men,
and to a limited number.
