Attempt Being Made
To Whitewash Captain
Of Ill-fated Titanic

LOND0N,f May 23.-The first indica-
ton of the Intention of the White Star
line to try to exonerate Capt. E. J..
Smith. of the Titanic, from apparent
disregard of radio kilograms warning
him of ice bergs in the path OF the lost
liner came at"thei resumption of the
Government inquiry today. Sir Rob-
ert Finley, chief counsel for the White
Star, announced that Joseph Roxhau
and Officer Lightoller would probably
be recalled. The men were in a posi-
ton, he thought, to prove that wire
less warnings sent by the Messiah and
the Amerika were not communicated
to Captain Smith.
Testimony was introduced showing
that the Coronia had signaled the Amer
ika warning her that she had passed
several dangerous bergs. This informa-
ton was also given the Titanic with in
structions to send it to Cape Race to
be forwarded to the Government Hydro
graphic Office in Washington.

BALL GAME IN 1912
Members Too Busy With Politics,
and Besides the Democrats
Have Big Stick.

which has been a feature Of the spring

too much politics in the House, and too

Heretofore it has been tho custom of
the Republicans In the House to organ
i.e q team and play a nine selected

AFFAIR going for some benefit of a local
charity. Nick Iongworth has been
prominent in the fray. holding down q
position in one of the gardens for his
Repuhlican colleagues.

Democrats hare them" mourned Con-
gressman Butler of PENNSYLVANIA. the
originator of the baseball frolic.

He wrote poetry in .boyhood, and re- eited practically the entire scriptures by piecemeal at Sunday school.
 He made an open air speech or thanks to some Tuscaloosa ladies in 1856, and so captivated his audience that people came forward to get handfuls of soil on which he stood
 As chairman of the committee on edu- cation in the legislature in 1853 he in- troduced the first public school law for Alabama.
 Just after Tennyson's Charge Of the Light Brigade" appeared he wrote "Balak- lava" to celebrate the same incident. Some English papers said. the latter was the superior poem, and Queen Victoria had 1t published and spread over her kingdom.
 He won such contemporary praise as "the best orator I ever heard, the hand somest man oN his times.' and the Mag nus Apollo of Alabama

to achieve lasting remembrance in any one; perhaps his oratory was given too much to harmony rather than to con- troversy: perhaps hls patriotism and his literary feeling were confined too clearly to the south; perhaps he did not exert himself in the proportion that he pos sessed brilliant powers, perhaps for half a dozen other reasons it is natural that he he forgotten. But let Alabamians re- member that he gave us our first public school law. that he is our pioneer his torian. and that he is the best poet to be claimed distinctly as our own. let us remember him for his unique life. which was spent entirely in Alabama. with the exception of the first five years. and the last two. Coming to Tuscaloosa from South Carolina in 1879, and leaving Mobile for Mississippi in 1883, he repre- sents the whole ante belum spirit Of the state and leaves nothing that smacks of reconstruction or the new era.
 And finally, lat the careless and indiffer- ent look up the facts of this peculiar personality. purely because he could smoke a dozen cigars a. day. could beat nearly everybody playing chess, could frame clever puns and could forcefully hold his own at conversation, especially with the ladies. So brilliant, so handsome. so loveable, he should not be forgotten.

Building Locomotive an Hour

From CaSSlef MdRdZllt.
 The Schenectady (N. ,YD plant of the American Locomotive company is the largest and most important of the nine plants of that great corporation, and IS one of the oldest locomotive manufaettr- ing concerns in the country. It was estab- lished under the name of the Schenectady Locomotive Engine Manufactory in 1Sis, and except for a few shutdowns, due to temporary depressions in business, has been in continuous operation since that time.
 It's history, therefore, covers almost the entire period from the time locomotive building was first begun in this country.
 At present the plant covers 65 acres of ground and comprises A buildings. At full capacity. the employees number 6O0D, who, with their families. constitute, coa- servativeIy estimating. total of $500 people or practically one-quarter the present populs ton of the city, who derive their support from these works.
 The American Locomotive company has the largest output capacity of any corpo- ration of its kind in the world, and can turn out one complete locomotive for every hour of each ten hour working day a year.

Enough to Wear Out Dozen Men

The manager each day has a volumin- ous correspondence with other cities, which takes considerable thought and time He has about one hundred letters a day to dictate, He has innumerable plans to work out for advertising, and spends much time cooperating with To- cal advertising specialists and agents. who spend money literally with the home newspapers, printers and publishers On an average he plans, together with his associates about one hundred and fifty advertising forms per day. He receives about fifty telegrams each day, and sends as many more. He has many in- terviews with railroad officials. in at tempts to get them to make reduced rates on their lines at hours suitable to the aviation attractions. for railroad officials do not act as quickly as do many indi- viduals It calls for many interviews to bring about a proper understanding and arrangement Each day the manager re- eeives requests from charitable nstitu- tions for money, for these good folks imagine that an aviation manager Is a walking money repository, and a regular Santa Claus when 1t comes to distribut- ing it to the worthy.
 Each mail brings in many requests for concessions on the grounds. some de- manding these rights free, and others suggesting terms that are rediculously below what they are worth.
 The long distance telephone is the eter- nal bungaboo of the aviation manager He fusses with people all day. and the long distance phone fusses with him at night. Being single gentleman. MT. Berger retires about midnight but not to sleep. Oh, no. He scarcely ever sleeps for long without getting called out of bed by bel-boy to answer long distance call. As he gets up at seven, his sleeping intervals you see. are not lengthy. While at breakfast twenty or more people gather and demand to see him, and he generally has to humor these individuals, although as rule their business is of small account and more often not worthy of any consdera- ton. What would an aviation manager do with a. wife? demands Mir. Berger, with his accustomed frankness. Indeed, perhaps some one better posted than the writer can find an answer.
