INTIMIDATION IF
NOT direct BRIBERY"

Washington, April 1.-THE Taft Ma
tional Bureau issued a statement yes
terday in part as follows:
In the Far West many instances
have been called to President Taft's
managers where Clifford Pinchot has
demanded of his own personal ap-
pointees in the forest service a dis
charge of obligation in the form of
support of Roosevelt in his campaign.
Furthermore, it is a matter of
official record, and the Taft National
Bureau has the document to prove it,
that Senator Dixon, Mr.. Roosevelt's
campaign manager is personally pre-
pairing to oppose for denomination in
the Senate of the United States Fed
eral office-holders who have openly
stated they favored the denomination
of President Taft In other words,
intimidation, if not direct bribery, is
being practiced by Mr.. Roosevelt's
own personal representative in his ma
tional headquarters.

CARS OF AMMUNITION
REMAIN IN MERIDIAN

Meridian, Miss, April 17.-That Mo-
bile and Ohio railroad car No. 1914,
believed to contain arms and ammuni-
ton, is again in the limelight through
efforts to move the material in the car.
An attempt was made to ship the
heavy boxes, with all marking erased,
the boxes plainly showing where the
planes had done their work
An unknown man secured a dray
from a local transfer company, had the
car opened and hauled load to the
New Orleans and Northeastern freight
depot last Friday. Receiving Clerk
O'Keefe, when approached by the man,
refused to accept the boxes unless they
were marked, showing the contents.
The man would not mark the boxes
and hauled them back to the car stand
ing near the Mobile and Ohio freight
depot put the boxes back into the car,
sealed it and has not been seen since
1t is said the man stated he wanted
to ship the boxes to San Antonio
| (Texas) and officers who have kept
watch of the transaction believe that
it is a part shipment of contraband
arms destined to the Mexican revolu.
| tionists.
All efforts to secure information
from the railroads has failed, they re-
fusing to have anything to say about
, the car.
Both cars of ammunition found in
the local railroad yards are still here
Atlantic Coast Line car 2S329, which
contains boxes similar to those in NJ
and o. SS14, the erasures on the boxes
being made on the contents of the
I first named car at Bonita last Friday
when the shipments were first discov
cred.

Improvement Above Vicksburq.

Vicksburg, Miss, April 17.-Rain
fell in volume along the southern
stretches of the Mississippi river yes
terday, adding to the discomfort and
peril of those marooned in the over

kansas and northern Louisiana, but
without materially affecting the dykes
in this district, Reports from as far
south as Natchez tell of levees hold

changed their minds after signing or
placed their names on it never intend
ing to vote against commission gov
ernment.
Be all this as it may the fight is
over and won, without the real instiga-
tors of the discredited movement com
ing cut in the open, but the people are
wise and it is generally understood the
who's and wherefore of the movement.
The vote polled is considered unus-
ually large for an election of the kind,
when no man had friend to help into
office, and the issue was not one of
men but one of measures. The rain
did not keep many from voting as a
large per cent of the votes cast in the
afternoon were by men living in the
edges of town, preponderance of the
votes being cast by laboring men.
The vote was counted by seven
O'Clock and was a very tame affair
after the first few votes were counted
at either place, as the trend of the
voting was early seen.
Thus Hattiesburg again takes its
place among progressive cities to be
pointed out as an example for others
to follow.

Commission Government Overwhelmingly Endorsed
CARPATHiA EXPECTED tn
REACH PORT FRIDAY NIGHT


disaster from wireless messages pick
ed up from several of the ships which
had been in closest touch with the
last hours of the mammoth White
Star steamship, and which were after
ward in the zone OF communication
with the Bruce's apparatus.
When the Titanic struck the noun
tain of ice that sent her to the bottom
within four hours after the impact, she
was steaming at the rate of eighteen
knots an hour. The shock almost de-
molished the proud vessel, which her
builders and her captain had believed
nothing could master.
Hitting the impenetrable ice mass
fairly with her towering bows, the
ship was almost rent asunder at the
first blow. Her decks were ripped and
torn, her sides and bulkheads were
split and shattered as with the ham
mer of some Titan, from the bow to
point almost amidships.
Her upper works and some of her
boats were splintered, while a shower
of debris from her spars fell upon the
decks like giant hail. Though the
ship had struck the monster obstruc-
ton head on, as her bow rose clear Of
the water, smashed to an unrecogniz-
able mass of bent and shivered steel,
the vessel listed heavily to port and
/ threatened to turn turtle before the
recoil slide of what was left of her
proud form back to an even keel.
/ The Titanic had forced her giant
bulk up on submerged spur of the
| iceburg, a phenomenon which is not
infrequent in the most disastrous col
! lisions with these gostlike sentinels of
the Banks. In mounting upon the jag
ged ice spur and in sliding back from
/ her position the ship had torn out
many of her bulk plates from the mid
ships section forward to the bow.
Compartments Speedily Flooded.
AS a result her compartments from
amidships forward were speedily
flooded. She took in water at a rate
that defed the efforts of the pumps
and soon began to settle by the head
listing heavily to port and rolling in
the trough of the sea as she became
gradually disengaged from the ice
many tons of which had fallen upor
her decks, contributing to the demoli
tion and intricable confusion.
The force of the blow had been sc
tremendous that the vast ship was
started in her every joint, and every
thing movable throughout her supert
equipment of luxurious cabins and sa
looms was tossed into heaps like dis
carded junk.
But British seamanship and discip
line prevailed, and it did what little
might be done as well as dauntles'
men could do it.
Every Officer and Man Leaps to Post
Every officer and man leaped to hi!
post, while Captain Smith, megaphon,
in hand, beloved his orders over th'
rolling hulk that an hour before hat
been the proudest ship in Christen
dom. Sufficient order was maintained
to launch safely most of the boats
the greater number of which had re
mained seaworthy, despite the ordea
through which they had passed,
