WASHINGTON, April 22.-Vice
President Franklin of the Internation-
al Mercantile Marine company, which
controls the White Star line, owner of
the i'll fated Titanic, gave the sensa-
tional testimony before the senate in
vestigating committee today, that nei-
ther himself nor any official or en-
ploye of the White Star line had sent
telegram last Monday to Congress
man Hughes at Huntington, w. Va,
stating that all the Titanic passengers
had been saved and that the Titanic
was being towed to Halifax.
The committee has what purports to
be genuine telegram, signed white
Star line" and Mr.. Franklin's testi-
mony indicated that it must have been
a forged message.
Mr. Franklin told the committee
that his first information that the Tt
tanic had sunk reached him at $40
o'clock last Monday evening.
Mr.. Franklin declared that he alone
had full jurisdiction and authority ov-
er the White Star lines affairs on this
side of the ocean, but that he had no
jurisdiction over the navigation of
ships of his company after they had
left any port in the United States or
Canada.
Mr. Franklin declares that he had
not seen or heard from Captain Smith
of the Titanic since he saw him the
day he sailed from New York on the
Olympic. The only exception being
that he received a message informing
him of the ships position off Cape
Race, which was purely of routine.
Calls 1t Forged Message.
Regarding the message which was
received at Huntington Mr.. Franklin
said that he had made a careful in
vestigation and was positive it was not
sent by any officer or employe of the
White Star line. He thought it entirely
probable that the message was sent
by some one who had no authority to
sing it, or that it had come from a
newspaper or some other source. Mr..
Franklin declared that they had made

BeREA C0llE6E EXCURSION

The annual Excursion which II Is
customary for the students OF Berea
College to have took place, Tuesday.
There were 27O students and town
folk who were on the excursion to
Cincinnati, where they all visited
the Geological Garden in the morning
and In the afternoon attended the
World In Cincinnati Exposition.
Expressions OF appreciation and de-
light we're heard on every hand at
what tho cxcursionists saw OF the
great Pageant. which Is the leading
feature Of the Exposition.
There were five scenes dealing
with wonderful change from dark
ness to light brought about by the
missionary. The well known story
OF the finding Of DIR. Livingston by
Stanley was enacted and Others
portraying the horrors resulting from
the superstitious customs OF a be-
nighted people. were presented with
almost unequaled perfection.
For many the Pageant was the
most wonderful production in stage
scenery they have ever seen, and
the memory OF II will linger long.
The music accompanying the various
scenes was characteristic and de-
scriptive OF the action OF the players
and OF the scenes.
After the Pageant the party broke
into smaller groups and visited the
various exhibits OF the Exposition.
At $3.50 all took the street cars for
the Manhattan Restaurant. where,
after a short delay, the hungry appeti-
tos were satisfied with a good meal.
At $3.50 the party left Cincinnati and.
returning via Lexington. reached Be-
rea at about 2:45 a. m.
