COLONEL MAKES
BITTER RETORT
Observation-Disclosures
President Taft.

Worcester, Mass, April 27.-Merci-
less denunciation of President Taft
was Colonel Roosevelt's reply tt the
presidents attack upon him. Some of
Colonel Roosevelt's assertions we're:
That President Taft had not given
the people of the country a square
DEAL" but that owing to a quality of
~feebleness" he had yielded to the
bosses and the great privileged inter-
ests."
That n part of the presidents
attack upon him was "the crookedest
kind of a deal" and deliberate mis-
representation"
That the president "has not merely
in thought, word and deed been dis
loyal to our past friendship, but has
been disloyal to every canon of ordi-
mary decency and fair dealing, such as
should obtain even in dealing with a
mans bitterest opponents"
That the presidents statement re-
'garding the influence of federal Office
holders in the campaign was mot only
Ian untruth, but an absurd untruth."
That Mr.. Taft convicted himself Of
'~dnsincerity when he signed the Payne
.AldrYch tariff bill.
That in speaking of Colonel Roose-
velt's position in regard to the trust
problem President Taft "is himself
guilty of a crooked DEAL"

Three Steamers Close at Hand
When Titanic Sank.
CAPTAIN MOORE TEST|FIES
Commander of Mount Royal Responded
to Calls for Help, but Was De-
layed by Ice Fields.

Washington, April 2S.-Two steam
ers and a schooner were only a short
distance away from the Titanic, &C
cording to the testimony of Captain
James H. Moore of the steamship
Mount Temple before the senate com
mittee investigating the tragedy. Ice
was the barrier that held back vessels
hurrying to the rescue.
The Mount Temple intercepted the
Titanic's calls for help, Captain Moore
said, and Immediately he turned his
ships course toward the crippled liner.
On his way he raised the light of a
schooner within a few miles of the
scene of the tragedy and coming from
that direction.
When day broke, to disclose a great
field of ice ahead, the Mount Temple
discovered a tramp steamer close by.
The identity of neither schooner nor
tramp was fixed.
Captain Moore read a long list of
messages from the Titanic, intercepted
by the Mount Temples operator. 1t
virtually was a complete record of the
wireless appeals sent out by the
doomed vessel and Senator Smith
complimented the witness for his
thoughtfulness in bringing it.
Samuel ~Goldenberg and several 9th
ers from New York, representing the
committee of Titanic survivors, are on
hand to testify.

DIED AS HE HAD WISHED
Dr.. P%earsons, PhiIanthropist, compar-
ativeIy Poor When End Came.

Chicago, April 2S.-Dr. Daniel X.
Pearsons, the aged philanthropist. is
dead in a sanitarium at Hinsdale.
He was ninety-two years old and in
recent years had given away more
than 100000 to small colleges, chief
ly in the Middle West. He died a
comparatively poor man.
Pneumonia, with complications due
to old age, was the cause For sew
eral days he had been sinking, a pa
tient in an institution where he main
tanned himself on an income of $4,000
a year paid him by a college to which
he had contributed $3.50, 900 on the
condition that he would be given 2
per cent of that amount annually for
the rest Of his life.
DR.. Pearsons began giving money to
needy colleges in 1883 and he gave of
his wealth in sums ranging from $780,
600 to $495, 90. To one institution,
Beloit college, in Wisconsin,, he gave,
in all, about $500 1000.
1t was DR.. Pearsons who declared
that giving away money was a greater
sport than baseball and more fun than
any other form of entertainment.

REASON FOR LACK OF NEWS
Wireless Operators Sold Story of Ii.
tanic Disaster.

Washington, April 26.-Guglielmo
Marconi, chairman Of the Marconi
company, limited, told the senate COM
mittee Investigating the Titanic dis
aster that he authorized the wireless
operators of the Carpathia and Titanic
to sell the stories Of the great catas-
trophe for publication.
Mr.. Marconi explained that in giving
consent for the sale of these stories
he had not attempted in any way to
suppress information of the wreck.
The inventor of the wireless denied
any knowledge whatever of wireless
messages sent to the Carpathia oper-
ators telling them to keep your
mouths shut" and hold out for four
figures" These messages, one of
them signed "Marconi," were picked
up by the United States %battleship
Florida when the Carpathia was COM
ing in and forwarded to the secretary
of the navy. Mr.. Marconi declared he
never authorized these messages, but
did give consent that the operators
could receive money.

POLLOCK WOULD Be SENATOR
Candidate From the Ninth Legisla-
tive District.

R. NJ. Pollock, president of the
North Dakota Progressive Republican
league, announced his candidacy for
the state senate from the Ninth legis-
lative district. Mr.. Pollock's candi-
dacy resulted from the decision of w.
]. Price, now representative from that
district, not to become a candidate
for the senate. Mr.. Price says bust
ness will prevent his becoming a can
didate.
1t had been the intention of the Pro-
gressive Republican league, which
conducted the La Toilette fight in the
state, to support Mr.. Price. This
support will now be given to Mr.. Pol
lock. Although the progressive or
g%anization leader has no opposition
thus far it is expected that opposition
will develop shortly.
Mr.. Pollock is a Fargo attorney. He
has had experience in the statehouse.
He was a member of the constitution
al convention and a member of the
seventh house, of which he was the
speaker.

ROTATION TO Be TAUGHT
Farmers Will Be Shown How to Get
Most Out of Soil.

Two or three hundred Grand Forks
county farmers will work with the
North Dakota Better Farming asso-
citation this year under the direction
of O. d. Center, former head of the
agricultural work in Illinois, who has
begun his work at Grand Forks as
county expert. That number of farm
ers will establish so called demon
stration fields and on those fields,
which will range from one to ten
acres, they will raise alfalfa.
North Dakota a raise alfalfa"
Mr.. Center says, "and there is no
reason why Grand Forks should not
be to the fore in that enterprise"
Corn, too, will be given close at
tention by the farming expert and he
expects to have several thousand
acres of cor in various parts of the
county grown under his direction.
The breeding and production of corn
on a scale which will make it posi-
BILE for Grand Forks not only to sup
ply it's own farmers with seed, but
also to place it in a position to sup
ply the outside demand, is the object
sought by the state organization.
Rotation will be taught to the farm
ers on so called demonstration plats,
of which there will be about eight.
There are four different kinds of
soils in Grand Forks county and it is
the plan Of the association officials
to have two of the demonstration
plats on each of those soils. Farm
ers supplying the ground for these
plats are required to operate the
farming on the plan that will be laid
down by the county expert.
But the association expert will not
confne his operation to the educa-
ton of the grown ups alone. He will
also take up the promotion of corn
and potato growing among the boys
of the county. They will be asked to
organize corn growing associations
and there bids fair to be much inter-
est in that feature. 1t is expected
that the association will have some
big corn prizes to give away next fall
and the prizes will be awarded on the
acre yield. There of course will be
prizes for the quality of corn as we'll,
but the acre yield department will be
featured strong.

PRESIDENT DONS

Taft Bitterly Oenounces Former
President Roosevelt
REMARKS BR|STLE WITH FIRE
Asserts Colonel Is a Dangerous Man
n His Nomination or Election
Would Be a Calamity.
REMARKS BR|STLE WITH FIRE

Boston, April 26.-President Taft
doomed his fighting clothes, abandoned
his policy of silence under the attacks
that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has
made upon him and upon his admins
tration and, for the first time since
Mr.. Roosevelt announced his candi-
dacy, launched into a bitter denuncia.
ton of the former president.
From the time Mr.. Taft entered Mas
sachusetts and made his first speech
at Springfield he hammered away at
Colonel Roosevelt. The president
made close to a dozen speeches, many
OF them extended, the rest only a few
words in length.
In all he made it clear hat he is
unalterably opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt;
that he saw disaster in a third term
in the White House for any man and
that he did not believe Colonel Roose-
welt had given him a square deal"
He spoke to good sized crowds in all
the cities where he made set speeches
and at the towns and villages where
his train stopped briefly the people
focked around his private car and lis
tened with close attention.
The president spoke at Springfield
and Palmer, twice in Worcester and
at Natick, South birmingham and
several smaller towns.
Seems Reluctant at First.
In the beginning he seemed to utter
his attack on Colonel Roosevelt with
reluctance.
This wrenches my SOUL" he said
once.
AS the day wore on, however, and
he made speech after speech in which
he denounced Mr.. Roosevelt again and
again Mr.. Taft grew more aggressive
in manner, emphasized his words with
gestures and apparently laid aside any
feeling of regret he may have felt at
this evidence that the long friendship
with his former chief was broken.
His principal Boston address was de-
livered in the arena to a large crowd,
but before retiring to his private car
ne spoke DTleHy TO an 'OVerTOW" meet
ing in Symphony hall. His speech in
the Arena was delivered from manu-
script, prepared during the last few
days in Washington, carefully gone
yer by members of his cabinet and
containing a detailed answer to many
of Mr.. Roosevelt's charges.
Mr.. Taft's speech bristled with coun-
ter charges against his predecessor in
the White House. He declared that
Mr.. Roosevelt had wilfully misrepre-
sented him, had falsely distorted some
of his public utterances, had failed to
live up to his policy of a square deal
the American people not to be a candi.
