 London.-The judgment of the Brit. isb Board of Trade court of inquiry into the disaster to the White Star liner Titanic announced concludes the iceberg was due to the excessive speed at which the ship was naYi- gated that proper watch was no. kept, that the ships boats were prop erly lowered, but that arrangements for manning them were insufficient that the Leyland liner California might have reached the Titanic if she had attempted to do so; that the track followed was reasonably safe with proper vigilance and that there was no discrimination against the third. class passengers in the saving of life
 The court of inquiry eXonerates J Bruce Ismay, managing director Of the White Star Line, and Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon, one of the passengers. from any charges of improper con duct
 The judgment recommends more Water-tight compartments in sea-goin. ships, the providing of lifeBoats fot all on board, and more efficient drills of the crew, as well as a better look out
 Much of the judgment is highly technical In it there was no argu- ment and no direct reference to tho inquiry by the committee Of the Unil ed States senate.
 Lord Marsey said fl was not the business of the court to inquire into attacks on the moral conduct of Sir Cosmo DuffGordon, who. with Lady DufGordon and J. Bruce Ismay. had been criticised but silence might be misunderstood He continued:
 The very gross charge against Sir Duli-Gordon that he bribed the boat men 10 row away from drowning peo- Die is unfounded. At the same time think fl he had encouraged the men 10 return to where they had foundered they probably would have made an ef- lort to do so. and could have saved some lives"

EVIDENCE IS CONCLUSIVE.
Many Midnight Assaults and Attempt. ed Assaults Believed to Have
 Been Committed by Negro.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Roek.-aJack the Shooter" is dead. ]. B. Brown. a negro, known as sport and bad man, was killed Whiie trying to break into the house or a negro poolroom keeper.
 Shortly before the shooting of the negro man entered the bedroom of two women and when discovered threatened to shoot. one of the women screamed and he fired three shots. one of them taking effect in the hand of Miss Maud Summers, one of the occupants of the room. He then made his escape by the window he had ell. tered.
 Police headquarters was immediate ly notified and arrived on the scene with bloodhounds and took up the trail of the marauder The trail led the officers through a negro portion of the town and west about a mile the fugitive then doubled back on his trail and stopped within a short dis tance of the scene Of the attempted assault.
 Seeking refuge from the police he tried to effect entrance into the resi- dence of Sam Collins, a negro pool room keeper. Collins hearing the noise at the window secured his re- Yolver and went to the back of the house. The back window was down and the sash nailed. the shade also being down Collins was unable to see anyone, so listening a moment he fired three shotssthrough the window and not hearing any more noise did not go outside thinking he had scared away whoever was there.
 When policeman arrived a few moments later to investigate the noise he found man laying in the back yard of Collins residence dead. He looked to be white man in the dim light and the police supposed he was until he was taken to an undertaking shop where it was found that the dead man Was yellow negro with his face whitened with some white sub stance like starch.
 In the meantime the posse was still following the trail of the man who at tempted the assault, when within a short distance of the place where the killing occurred the trail was lost by the hounds. However, continuing in the direction the trail had been lead ing the posse came to the scene of the killing
 Being sure that the dead man was the man wanted the officers took charge of the situation and had the dead negro taken to an undertaking shop.
 Upon examination of the body it was found that the supposed white man was negro. His face was whit ened with starch or some other sub stance, he wore ladies fancy hose and his clothes and handkerchief were highly perfumed.
 The officers are positive that the dead negro is the one who has been perpetrating most of the assaults upon the women of this city. Every bit of the evidence so far gathered points to the dead man as the man wanted. On his person were found clippings of the daily papers of this city coneaining accounts of the deeds
