The magnitude of this disaster
is simply awful and horrifying
in the extreme. Of all sad things
the saddest is that gayety and
fond anticipation was suddenly
converted into heartrending sor-
row, suffering and loss. Much
speculation will be engaged in
to find the cause of
the disaster and while some may
find it in the collision with the
iceberg, very many will find the
cause in various other ways, and

Gently received the commentator Of

for the results achieved in bringing
about economy and efficiency in that

unusual praise is the fact that it is
costing two and half million dollars

began his administration and initiated
his campaign for governmental econ

Frauds Are Punished.

Frauds Are Punished.
The vigor with which the admins
tration has gone after those who have
attempted frauds on the customs rev.
enue is illustrated by the fact that
more than five million dollars has
been collected in fines against dis
honest importers and attempted SNUG
glers. Jail sentences in numerous in.
stances have been added to the fines
The result has been the creation of a
wholesome respect for the law on the
part of importers and Americans who
travel in foreign lands The entire
machinery for the collection of Gus.
toms has been overhauled, with the
result that valuations are made more
accurately and many channels for
frauds have been stopped One of the
special aids In this connection has
been the special agents service. which
the secretary has taken personally in
hand
The ether collection agency, the in.
ternal revenue service, has been
brought to high degree Of efficiency
Its collections last year were the high
est in its history-$322, 900, 000-which
was collected at the expense of one
cent and sixty-eight hundredths of a
cent for each dollar. a substantial de-
crease in cost. Internal revenue col.
lectors are now giving the major por.
ton of their time to their official du.
ties, an innovation brought about for
the first time through the insistence OF
the president that efficiency of ad.
ministration was more to be desired
than the developing of political ma.
chimes.
Where Savings Resulted.
Savings in the method of printing
the paper money of the country have
been made to the extent of 100000
annually, while similar work in the
mints has resulted in cutting down the
expenses annually to the extent OF
$483000. By using the mails instead
of the express a saving of $4,000 a
year is effected in sending wornout
notes to the treasury for redemption.
Nearly $4,000 a year is being saved
through improved methods in handling
the paper on which money and postage
and internal revenue stamps is print.
ed A similar amount Is being saved
through closer scrutiny and economy
in printing the stationery for the de-
partment. The revenue cutter service
adds to the list saving OF 100000
ivyfkf ala
does the public health service.
And this story is the strongest kind
of denial of the charge that Presi.
dent Taft has used the government
employee to further his own political
advantage. There have been eighteen
hundred and one unnecessary places
abolished under the treasury depart
ment in the last three years. Five
hundred and fortty-two of these have
been In the department service In
Washington None of those in Wash
ington whose places were abolished
have been separated from the service
by that fact. Secretary MacVeagh
has rigidly adhered to the policy Of
saving the vacancies which occurred In
| the department by resignation and
death, and these places have been
filed by those who would otherwise
have been dropped
The facts above set forth are con-
vincing proof that under the adminis-
tration of President Taft genuine no
forms in administration have been ac-
complished in bringing the govern

jeet Was Understood, Warmth
OF Feeling and Interest
Was Manifested.

Washington, April 1S.-Secretary OF
State Knox returned to Washington
after two months round of friendly
calls on the republics of Central
America and the Caribbean sea.
The Knox party arrived at the
Washington navy yard a few minutes
after o'clock on board the presi-
dents yacht Sylph.
Mr.. Knox paid his respects to the
senate in connection with the altera-
ton of the arbitration treaties by that
body since his departure. The Sec
rotary declared in view OF extreme
care" which the senate took to pre-
vent any phase of the Monroe doctrine
from ever being submitted to arbitra-
ton he felt more than ever convinced
of the logic and wisdom of the United
States helping the weaker republics to
help themselves to avoid specific con.
ditions which might prove embarras-
sing to the United States.
ut is we'll known there has existed
In the United States a small coterie
Of directly interested persons who
have been endeavoring to block re-
form essential to the well-being OF
some of the weaker republics.
What effect my visit may have in
permanently improving our relations
with and conditions in the countries
I have visited is largely matter, of
conjecture. The means through
which the president felt that good re-
suits might be accomplished were
diligently employed.
ct was most gratifying to observe
interest in the people of the United
States in all the countries I visited
and the warmth of its manifestation
when the real purpose of my mission
vas appreciated"

Washington. April IS. - The grim

American navy, moulded by the hand
Of the sympathetic sculptor to show
him as he stood on the deck Of the
Bon Homme Richard In her terrible

was unveiled here with simple but
impressive ceremonies.
Most OF the dignitaries in Washing
ton were included in the plan to hon.
or the memory OF John Paul Jones.
President Taft and General Horace
Porter were the only speakers on the
program. George Won L. Meyer, Sec
rotary Of the navy, was given the
place OF presiding officer and to Ad-
miral Dewey was assigned the task Of
pulling the cords that released the
flags about the heroic figure. The
United States ships Dolphin and May
flower, anchored in the Potomac just
west of the Washington monument,
were ready for the national salute Of
twenty-one guns as the admiral Of the
navy raised his hand and tugged at
the cords.
