We believe that Commissioner Neil will ascertain the real cause of the cost of high living hut we would like to recommend that another committee be appointed to prove a method of having the cost reduced as soon as the same has been solved.
 To investigate the cause is well enough but We want something done to have the cost reduced There are nine out of every ten people in the United States who are wise" 10 the cause. and to he more thoroughly con vinced would not help matters.

TRYING ID ADJUST
 ENGINEERS TROUBLE
ALL DAY CONFERENCE BETWEEN COMMISSIONERS AND COMMIT
 TEES AT NEW YORK.

New York, April 24.-United States Commissioner of Labor Charles P. Neill and the subcommittee of rail- road managers were in conference ali day long over the proposal of Com missioner Neill and Justice Martin A. Knapp of the United States commerce court that their kindly offices" be used in adjusting the wage contro- yersy which has threatened a strike of engineers on practically all rail roads east of Chicago and north of the Potomac river.
 T want to say" the commissioner declared, in an interview as to what progress had been made in conference with the railroad representatives, Commissioner Neill was reticent. He was asked if the railroads had insist ed upon an arbitration board of nine members, but he declined to discuss the point. From an unofficial source it was learned the railroads desired such board rather than to rely on adjustment by representatives of the government.
 MT. Neill made it plain that neither he nor Judge Knapp is following the Erdman act in the negotiations. We are just trying to bring about an ad justment of this dispute regardless oi what course We take he said.
 The Erdman act has been inter preted as requiring one of the par ties in controversy to seek it's appli cation, but in this case neither party did so and MT. Neill admitted that this was the first instance in whict the government had offered it's ser vices altogether voluntarily
 He said he and Judge Knapp haC not taken up the matter at the per sonal suggestion of President Taft.
 A meeting of the subcommittee o the railway managers has been calle for tomorrow.

 Home State.

St. Louis. April 24.--On the eve Of the state republican convention. Mis- souri Roosevelt leaders late today sought court aid in efforts to get the balance of power in the state com mittee.
 The court action resulted from the unseating of Thomas K. Neidringhaus of St. Louis. Roosevelt leader, and the seating of H. L. weeke, Taft adherent.

The matter will be decided tomorrow.

DENIES WAS
 NEAR TITANIC
CAPTAIN OF THE MOUNT TEMPLE SAYS HE TRIED HIS BEST TO
 REACH VESSEL.
Says Carpathia, Californian, Burma, Frankfurt and a Tramp Steamer Were in the Vicinity When
 His Vessel Sailed Away.

St. John N. B., April 24.-The ru- nor that the steamer Mount Temple was within five miles of the Titanic when she sank and without needing signals of distress, steamed away, is indignantly denied by Captain Moore who was in command of the vessel His statement tonight follows:
 We received a wIreless message after midnight Sunday, from the ri tanic. stating she had struck an ice berg and to come at once. We turn ed about at l2:30 o'clock and steamed back to the position given us, arriy- ing there at 4;30 o'clock. We encoun- tered so much ice, however, that we stopped until daylight. We cruised about but could not see any sign of the ship. About am, on the other side of an immense field of ice, stud ded thickly with bergs, We saw the Carpathia We also saw the Califor- nian, which was to the northward of us, steaming west, then coming down to the southward, and she met us. She did not communicate anything. At 8:46 o'clock, ships time, we received a general message that the Carpa- thia had picked up 20 boats. We ask ed if they wanted assistance, but got no reply. Shortly after we received another general message, stating Nothing can be done. No need to stand by" We then left the scene and proceeded on our way"
 Moore said that as soon as he start ed toward the Titanic he called all hands on deck and put them to work getting boats ready to be lowered, al- lotting ropes and accommodation lad ders in readiness for service. He placed men in the crows nest and had one sailor hoisted to the very top of the mast, instructing them to keep a sharp lookout.
 When he turned his ship and rush ed back among immense fields of ice, he said he was doing so at a great risk, for he had on board l 1,46l pas sengers besides his crew. Neverthe- less. he ayows, he promptly answered the call for help.
 Captain Moore said when he turned away from the scene to continue on his course, the steamers Carpathia, Californian, Birma, Frankfurt and a tramp were in the vicinity.
 "Furthermore," he said, "what do the people who were on board my steamer know what I was doing or where was going? How could they tell in which direction I was sailing? It was past midnight.
 Leaving humanity out of the ques- tion. do you not think l would have liked to have been the lucky one to pick up those people?"

FIfth Officer Lowe's Story.

Fifth Officer Lowe's Story.
 Fifth Officer Lowe said that First Officer Murdock gave the order for the lowering lifeboats number five and three Murdock was in charge
 Was Ismay there?"
 Yes, he was, he was right along side of me. didn't know it was him then, but know now. It was the same man who l had ordered not to interfere in lowering number five. But he took hold and was helping afterward. I could see his face in the blare of the rockets and he aided in lowering boat No. g."
 Senator Smith sought yainly to learn the number of women in life boat No 8. The witness said he thought the men and women were about equally divided. but he knew none of their names. He finally ven tured the belief that the boat con- tained about 40 persons.
 Why weren't there more." asked the chairman.
 ''We couldn't find any one who wanted to go They seemed not to care to get into the boats"
 The witness said that everyone was free to wander wherever they pleas ed and there was no effort made by the officers or crew either to re- strain or direct the passengers.
 Did you see any women there?' asked Senator Smith.
 Certainly saw women. but I did not have time to go and drag them away They didn't respond to our calls"
 We filled boats 14, IS and 16 on the starboard side" said MT Lowe, and filled them with women and children"
 There was one man passenger in IA, an Italian, and he sneaked in. He was sort of dressed like 6 woman. He had a shawl over his head and l did not find him out until it was too late I went in that boat myself There were 5S people in it, when we left the davits.'
 Lowe told of tying four of the life boats together, transferring the pas sengers from his boat, and then call ed for volunteers to row back to the wreck
 We rowed back and around the wreck" said the witness, and we picked up four men who were strug gling in the water Three of them survived. but the fourth, Mir. Hoyi of New York, died shortly after we took him out of the water. don't know the names of the others. There were numDer of bodies floating about, but I didn't see a single female corpse
 What time was this?"
 '1t was just breaking dawn and 1 was light enough for me to get good look around"
 The witness said he then sighted the Carpathia and set out for her be cause she was the fastest boat. H' was afraid, he said, that the Carpa thia might miss them.
 "You said moment ago that yol had waited before returning to thu wreck until things quieted down, said Senator Smith.
 'What do you mean by quie down?'"
 Until the cries of the drowning?
 "Yes, sir. We did not dare go int the struggling mass. It would hav' sunk us. We remained on the edg of the scene and would have takel | ,.-. Tarx Itfxye l

Particularly while the old rules were
in force Yale contended that she could
not play more than two big teams.
The new rules, however. reduced the
injuries, and made football less of a
hardship than previously Harvard
proved last year that she could play
aother big team. and took on Princeton.
College men will be hopeful that Yale
can expand, for it will tend to solve
the somewhat unfortunate situation
in the east. 1t is. well understood that
there is now sort of standing invita-
ton from Harvard for Cornell to play
an annual game at Cambridge. With
football relations patched up between
Harvard and Princeton. there is no
good reason why Yale and Penn
sylVania should not resume gridirOn
relations. The two universities are on
the friendiiest of terms in all other
departments Of athletics, and a game
between them would be the biggest
drawing card that Yale could have,
and since the Ellis have expressed their
desire for a. game that. will. come some
