BY THEIR DEEDS
LET THEM BE KNOWN

1t has come to the notice of the
Independent, that some candidates
for the various county Offices are
presenting by various appeals to
the voters of this county, their
claims for political preferment,
and it seems to the Independent
that either deliberately or other
wise, there is being an attempt
made to mislead voters as to
actual conditions, and the real
circumstances surrounding some
of these contests, and the, Indepen-
dent proposes, in this issue, and
succeeding ones, to take up, from
the record some phases of the
official record of some of thu
present aspirants, and in this
article will call attention to some
phases of the record of Mr.. Great
house, the present incumbent of
the office of county recorder.
We understand that one of Mr..
Greenhouses strongest pleas for
vote IF renewed confidence, is
bis fidelity to his office, his untir-
ing energy in it, and the care and
zealousness with which he guards
the county funds, the inference
being strong that he is an officer
par-excellence.
We desire to call the attention of
the voters, in this article, to how
Mr. Greathouse manages his office
from business standpoint, in the
matter of saving tax payers money,
in so far as it affects him, and
compare his record, in this regard,
with the record of his predecessor.
The record will show, that Mr..
Z. W. Grover, a recorder, for the
year 1907, at salary. of 81 ,8OO.On,
with a deputy, H L. Bruce, at a
salary uf 81 10000, (aIthough Mr..
Bruce did not serve the full year,
turned into the county treasury, il
fees, the sum of $6,955.6 there
being, however, an item for clerk
hire, Expended in clearing up an
accumulation of documents during
the time that Mr.. Grover wac con-
Quoting the office without any as
sistance whatever.
Under the same arrangement.
for the year 1908, and with the
same salary, the county recorders
office turned in the county treasury
the sum of Sd, $3.50. 65 in fees. For
the year 1909, Mr.. Greathouse, at
salary of 100000 year,
(Which by the way, was raised by
the legislature during that year,
and with one deputy, t a salary of
ST 10000 year, turned into the
county treasury. in fees, the sum
OF SIS, 864.72.
For the year 1910, under the
same salary there was turned into
the county treasury, from the
county recorders Office. the sum of
1854 rs.
For the year 1911, there was
turned into the county treasury,
from the county recorders office,
the sum of $4,519.1O in fees.
The salary during the year 1911
was $2,000.00 for Mr.. Greathouse,
$1,200.o0 for deputy. and begin
ming with some time in March, a.
recording clerk at salary of
$4,000 per month.
The office force of the county re-
corder's off -e, at the present time
consists Of the recorder at a salary
of So, 100000 a year. a deputy at al
salary of 81 10000 year, and a !
clerk, at salary of 81, 200 90

October, this year, this Office has

THEIR IDENTITY UNKNOWN
Two Little Tots Among Those Rescued
From Titanic.

New York, April 22.-Among the sur
viyors of the Titanic disaster are two
little boys, probably made orphans by
the sinking of the liner
They are bright little French chaps,
three and one-half and two and one
half years old, and answer to the
names Louis and Lolo. What their
surname is has not been established
and nothing is known of their rela-
tives. Some of the rescued Titanic
passengers said they were in the sec
ond cabin in care of a man named
Hoffman and according to the passen-
ger list 'Mr Hoffman" and two chill
dren were on board the iii fated
steamer. Hoffman was not mentioned
as having been rescued.
The two boys were found in one OF
the lifeboats without any clothes, but
wrapped in blankets. AS no one on
the Carpathia claimed them Miss Mar
garet Hays of this city, who was res
cued from the Titanic, took them to
her home, where she is keeping them
In the hope that some of their rela-
tives will be found.

OLYMpIC'S PART
IN SEA TRAGEDY
Suggested Mall Penalties May
Have Had Influence.

London, April 22.-Reliable informa-
tion relative to the financial aspects
OF the Titanic horror cannot be OBJ
tanned In London Those who know
the facts--if anybody here knows them
refuse to speak Sinister sugges-
tons have been In circulation since
the falsity of the first reports sent
over the world about the steamship
disaster was established.
Alfred Stead, brother of W. T. Stead,
who was lost on the Titanic, said
"The whole case naturally excites
conjecture, People are asking why the
Olympic played so puzzling a part in
connection with the tragedy. They are
asking why a ship with a long range
wireless equipment turned the rescue
work over to a weak vessel with
Marconi range of $50 miles.
"It may be answered that the Olym-
pic was a mail boat, under contract to
deliver the mails promptly and sub
ject to heavy penalties in the event
OF default, whereas the Carpathia was
pleasure craft, with no such respon-
sibility. But would any government
have held a ship to a mail contract or
| should any ship company have thought
of financial penalties In such a case?
Left alone, the captain OF the Olym-
pic surely would have gone to the tt
tanic, even II he had heard that his
going was considered useless Some
person high IN authority must have
ordered the captain OF the Olympic
to proceed on his voyage, leaving the
Titanic's possible survivors to other
ships"

The new route eastbound provides
that steamships shall dip to latitude

the distance is now reckoned as 2,S5S

Crew New and inexperienced.
There was some criticism among the
survivors here, of the Titanic's crew
in ability to handle the lifeboats.
"The crew of the Titanic was new

New York. April 22.--Although
week has passed since the Titanic
sank in mid-ocean much of her story Is
still untold and many a day will pass
before the world will realize fully or
comprehend the significance of a dis
aster which must rank in many re-
spects as the most stupendous in mod
ern history.
The number of dead probably never
will be exactly determined, inasmuch
as the complete passenger list went
down with the vessel The number OF
survivors is fixed at 705 by the report
of Captain Rostron of the Carpathia
The White Star line officials believe
the death list totaled approximately
1885.
The narratives gathered piecemeal
from the liners survivors pay trlb'
ute without precedent to the bravery
of the men and women of these mod
ern days, a bravery of impulse, un-
studied. unassuming and instructive,
alike In steerage passenger, stoker and
millionaire.
Ample provision has been made for
survivors of the Titanic who are in
Strengthened circumstances. The re-
lief funds being gathered in New York
and London already total we'll up in
the hundreds of thousands. Most of
the steerage passengers, who reached
New York distraught and penniless,
have already come to realize the gen.
erosity and hospitality of America.

given ample time to recover from the
shock of their other experience and

JEALOUS HUSBAND
IN A DUAL KILLING

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Prompted by
Jealousy, John E. Baker shot his
wife, Gladys Baker, a chorus girl,
and then killed himself at the Rich
mond hotel, 400 North Clark street,
yesterday afternoon. The young wo-
man died soon after being taken to
the Passavant hospital. Baker, un-
til a week ago, was manager of the
Revere hotel pool rooms. For weeks
he had watched his wife as she ap-
peared on the stage, threatening to
kill her if she flirted with men in
the audience. 1. M. Weingarden,
theatrical agent, was compelled to
discharge her recently to forestall a
probable murder in the theatre. The
police are seeking relatives to claim
Bakers body. The woman came
from Australia a year ago. Baker
was under indictment by the grand
jury for his part in confidence
game. He was one of the three ar
rested last July for alleged attempt
to sell 80 pounds of brass filings
under the pretense that the sacE
contained smuggled gold dust. The
police also assert that a watch found
