Manager Scored For Saving Own
Life While Passengers Were Left

Washington, April 20--J. Bruce
Ismay, managing director, and other
officials OF the White Star line, were
bitterly arralgned in the senate by
Senator Rayner of Maryland, who
pictured Ismay as 'the officer who
was primarily responsible for the
whole disaster, who has reached his
destination in safety and unharmed."
Senator Raynor pointed out that
while there were no civil nor Grim
inal remedies available in the Amer
lean courts, criminal and civil suits
could be brought in the British
courts, and that congressional com.
mittee would have absolute authority
to subpoena every one connected with
the disaster, and that if anyone
should refuse to answer questions ne
could be indicted and imprisoned for
contempt.
Took Last Boat.
"Mr. Ismay claims, according to re-
ports. that he took the last lifeboat,"
cried Senator Rayner. II do not be-

that the northern route was taken in

English admiralty are. Here you
have the spectacle Of the head OF the

gers to be swallowed by the sea. The
martyrdom and the agonies of sep
aration that took place on board the
sinking ship are too fearful for the
mind to dwell upon and contemplate,
but Mr.. Ismay, the officer primarily
responsible for the whole disaster,
has reached his destination in safety
and unharmed."

OWNERS ARE
AGAINST 1T
HELD MEETING IN THE COUNCIL
CHAMBERS LAST NIGHT TO PRO.
TEST THE CONSTRUCTION OF
SEWER FROM THE SLAUGHTER
HOUSES.

Property owners in the proposed
sewer district to furnish drainage to
the steusloff and Cross slaughter
houses and the district adjacent there
to held a meeting in the council cham
ber of the city hall last night to re-
monstrate against the construction
OF this sewer. A large remonstrance
had been previously prepared and lib
orally signed against the proposed
construction of this drain, as 1t pass
es through farm property for almost
It's entire length Another ground for
objection being that no right Of way
had been secured over private prop
erty, the Impression being left by the
remarks of some OF those attending
the meeting that the owners OF prop
erty over which II will pass will refuse
to give the necessary right of way.
John Boyce, the owner of a flve-acre
tract, through which the sewer would
pass, objected strenuously, saying that
he did not propose to have his farm
ruined to accommodate two individu-
ais, and that IL the owners of the
slaughter houses wanted to move them
to another city the sooner they did 1t
the better It would please him. 9th
ers spoke along the same lines, but
were not so bitter in their denuncia-
tlons of the propretors of the estab-
lishments. The proposed sewer dis
trlct takes in d large territory. some
Of which is located a half mile away
from the line Of the sewer, this seem
Ing to be the cause Of good deal Of
objections to its construction
Further investigation will be made
into the relative amount Of property
owned by the demonstrators, as com
pared with those not demonstrating,
upon which a report will be formulat-
ed for the council meeting Monday
night 1t now looks as IL the project
viii ue defeated on account Of the
heavy expense as compared with the
comparatively small benefits to be de-
rived from Its construction.
