IsMAY is HELD REspoNs1pLE.
Senator Rayner Declares He Com.
mitted Most Cowartlly Act.

. .|
Washington, April 19.-An indict.
ment, rarely eQualled in It's vigor, OF
j. Bruce Ismay, managing director,
and other officials Of the White Star
Line, holding them responsible for
the Titanic disaster, was delivered in
the Senate to-day by Senator Rayner,
Dof Maryland, who pictured Ismay as
1.-THE ofticer'primarily responsible for
the whole. disaster, who has reached
his destination In safety unharmed."
Senator Rayner pointed out that
while there were no civil nor crlmi-
nal remedies available in the Ameri-
can courts, criminal and civil suits
could be brought in the British
courts, and that a Congressional com
mittee would have absolute author
ity to subpoena every one connected
with the disaster, and that If any
one should refuse to answer uues-
tions, he could be indicted and i'm
prisoned for contempt.
His Cowartly Act.
'Mr. Ismay claims, according to
reports, that he took the last life
boat" cried Senator Rayner. "I do
not believe it, and If he did, it was
cowardly to take any lfeboat, for
the managing director of the line,
with his board, is criminally respon-
sible for this appalling tragedy.
"If this had happened on an
American vessel, there would be no
question that an Indictment would
be found, and if the facts were sus-
tained the officers Of the company
could be convicted Of manslaughter,
if not of murder, because the evil
dence Is clear that the vessel was
not properly equipped with efficient
life-saving apparatus.
81 have not the slightest doubt
that the northern route was taken in
obedience to Mr.. Ismay's direct Or
ders, and that, with full warning, he
risked the life of his entire ship to
make a speedy passage.
81 care not what the rules of the
British admiralty are. Here you
have the spectacle Of the head of the
line failing to see that his ship was
properly equipped with life-saving
apparatus, Needless Of the warnings
that he was sailing in dangerous
sea, forsaking his vessel and permit
ting 1000 of her passengers and
crew to be swallowed by the sea.
The martyrdom and the agonies of
separation that took place OH board
the sinking ship are too fearful for
the mind to dwell upon and contem-
plate, but Mr.. Ismay, the officer pri-
aster. has reachad HE dasti,n,,o -" -,

SPORTING NOTES.

For the information of the many
fans who are anxious to know when
they can see some more basket ball,
we understand that the new mana
ger of the Rink does not intend to
have any basket ball games, and in
an interview with one of the Maple
City basket ball team we learn that
they have no games scheduled and
do not know whether they will play
any more this year or not. 1t seems
as though it ought to pay, as this
year Honesdale had a team which
proved itself, in the few games
played, to be one of the best teams
in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and
when it is considered that there is
more basket ball played between
here and Berwick than in any other
section of the country of the same
size, that is going some. This state
plays more basket ball than any 9TH
err state in the Union, and the Homes
dale team was advertised in Pitts
ton a few weeks ago as one of the
"snappiest" teams in the state.
Eddie Murphy and his White Mills
team have come to the front now
with a half concealed challenge to
Honesdale Tin our last issue) and as
they have a fast team, a series of
games between these two teams
would not only be interesting but
would be a money maker.
