TAFT DOES HONOR
 TO BUTTS MEMORY
 IN AUGUSTA TODAY

Augusta Ga, May 2-The President of the United States joined all Au- gusta today in homage to the memory of Major Archibald Butt, who died hero's death on the Titanic.
 Half of Augusta was at the station ncday to welcome Taft, who came to De the main speaker at services in memory of his late aide, regarded by Augusta as a native son. The Pres1- dent had breakfast with Mayor Bar fett and then went directly to the ser vices.
 All business was suspended here, today, between 10 a. m- and D. m., and practically the entire population turned out to honor Major Butt s memory The opera hOuye, where services were held. was packed long before the announced hour and a big crowd stood in the street outside, barring their heads. in spirit partaking in the ritual as they could not hear.
 The services were impressive. Taft sat on the stage and concluded the exercises by an eloquent personal tri- bute to his friend and aide. The Episcopal ritual was used, Major Butt att one time studied for the ministry of that church. }
 Bishop Caller, of Tennessee, who was chaplain of the University of the South when Archie Butt was stu dent, drew lessons from the dead Sol- dier's life and recalled his student days at Sewanee. Two or three of those who had known Major Butt when he was resident of Augusta paid homage to his memory.

 After luncheon today the President will be the guest of the Commercial Club at an informal reception. He plans to leave for Washington late this afternoon.
 Taft Has never more lavishly enter- tafned than at Savannah yesterday. He was so busy with receptions, lunch cons, a ball game and a banquet in ahe evening that he had very little time in which to ponder on the Massa- chusetts primaries.

SENATOR SMITH DEFENDS COURSE TITANIC PROBE Will Answer Foreign and Domestic Critics In Senate
 Shortly

New York, May @Bitter attacks at
 home and abroad against the Senates investigation of the Titanic tragedy
 were condemned today by Senator Will liam Alden Smith, chairman of the
 Senate subcommittee. He said the attacks seriously hampered the inves- tigators. Explanation and defense of
 the committees inquiry were promised
 by Senator Smith in a speech in the
 Senate, probably next week.
 q felt that 1t was absolutely nece5-
 sary. to secure the evidence of the sur viving officers and members of the crew before influences could be set at
 work to suppress incidents leading up
 to and actually connected with the
 catastrophe" said Senator Smith to-
 day. While we have been insistent
 in this determination we have at no time lost sight of the fact that all of
 these men were British subjects and entitled to every consideration at our hands. The public acknowledgment of MT. Ismay and officers of the ill- fated ship of this fact may possibly tend to lessen the ill-considered criti- cism which has been directed against the committee by the British press and their American sympathizers whose conduct has rendered more difficult than it otherwise would have been a
 proper understanding of the manner in which the investigation was being con- ducted.''
 Senator Smith said he was prepar- ing the committee's report and, when submitted to the Senate, he would make some observations regarding the influences which have been at work from the first day of the disaster" Senator Smith declared at his apart ments at the Waldorf that while in this city he will take the testimony of some witnesses who were reluctant to |appear before public hearing. Among those who will tell their stories, he said, are Mrs. Ryerson, of Philadel- phia, and Mrs. Stewart, of this city. Smith further stated that he intend ed clearing up before returning to Washington the report that the West ern' Union accepted from the Marconi Company message addressed to Isle franz, which is believed to be Vice President Franklin, on April 15, stat anx that the Titanic has sunk.

No Strike Talk At Conference
 Of TroIIeymen

New Haven, May 2-It was stated at the conclusion of the conference between the representatives of the men of the trolley lines of the Connec- ticut company, and General Manager John K Punderford in this city, yes terday. that the conference was sim ply a preliminary one and that there was no strike talk whatever brought up before it. The conference discuss ed the request of the men for shorter hours and higher pay but it was stat ed that the meeting was purely pre- liminary.
 President Lucien s. Storrs Of the Connecticut company was in this city but was not present at the con- ference. He said, however, that he was acquainted with what was done phatically that any talk of a strike was unqualifiedly false.
 "The conference was simply pre- liminary," said MT. Storrs. and most certainly can say there is no reason and no probability of there rumors are absurd. I would have been informed had there been any real trouble at the meeting and, for the specific purpose of allaying those wild stories. I emphatically state that I heard and am positive that there
 
 the conference. The road was repre- sented by but one man, MT. Punder- ford, and no final demands were pre- sented by the delegates. Of course various matters were discussed but the conference was merely prelimin- ary. Other conferences, I suppose, will follow
 It is understood that the trolleymen desire a flat wage rate of 30 cents an hour, a. nine-hour day, and time and a half for overtime.
 The trolley company claims it can- not afford to increase wages at the present time and that the matter or a flat rate of pay is not a fair sys- tenn.
 There were IS representatives of Connecticut lines present and two from Massachusetts.
 Most of the out-of-town delegates left New Haven last evening. The local trolleymen were represented by Martin Breen, James Lynch and Frank Maher.

quest that the eight delegates -at-large vote for his rival. President Taft.
 Seven Of these eight delegates att large whc. under pledges to vote for Roosevelt were elected over those pledged to the President, despite the latter's some $500 plurality in the pref enoe vote, declared positively today they will vote for Roosevelt.
 T feel that I owe allegiance to the man who marked my name and voted for me as a delegate who had pledged himself to vote for Colonel Roosevelt do not agree with MT. Roosevelt. The Colonel really has nothing to do with it.''
 This statement made by George W. Coleman, elected delegate-at-large for Roosevelt, was echoed by six others who were on the same ticket. These are James B. Mangis, Senator Arthur L. Mason, Octava A. Lariviere, Fred erick Fosdick. Alvah Weeks and Char les S. Baxter. Baxter led the Roose- welt delegate-at-large ticket. Albert Bushnell Hart, the 9th Roosevelt dele gate-at-lsrge, has refused to comment on Roosevelt's request that the dele gates-at-large vote for the President.
