 Bitter Criticism of Ismay
 Washington, April 19.-An indictment, rarely oqualled in its vigor of j.. Bruce lsmay, managing director, and other officials of the White Star line. holding them responsible for the IT. tanlc disaster was delivered In the Senate today by Senator Rayner of Maryland, who pictured Ismay as the officer, primarily responsible for the whole disaster who has reached his destination in safety, and unharmed."
 Senator Rayner pointed out that while there were no civil nor criminal remedies available In the American courts, criminal and civil suits could be brought in the British courts and that a congressional committee would have absolute authority to subpoena every one connected with the disaster.
 Doubts His Word
 MT. Ismay claims, according to req ports, that he took the last lifeboat," cried Senator Rayner. "I do not be- iitAt tN anu II HF didf lN was 1O0 atdi5 lo take any life boat, for the manag Ing director of li.a line, with his board, Is criminally responsible for this ap- paling tra agedy.
 "If this had happened on an Ameri- can vessel, there would be no question that an indictment would be found. and If the facts were sustained, the offi- eers of the company could be convicted of manslaughter If not of murder.
 "I have not the slightest doubt that the northern route was taken in obed fence to Mir lsmays direct orders.
 "The martyrdom and he agonies cf separation that took place on board the sipking ship are too fearful for the mind to contemplate, but MT. Ismay, the officer primarily responsible for the whole disaster has reached his des- tlnation in safety and unharmed.
 Rely on British Justice
 NO legislation can bring back to earth single life lost upon that fatai earch a single life lost upon that fatal night. What we can do is to help to fx the respon sibility, if possible, and rely upon British justice to bring to bay tho guilty directorate of this company.
 All civilized nations will applaud the criminal prosecution of the management of this line. If they can be made to suffer. no sympathy will go out for them.'
 Two more bills framed on the les son drawn from tho Titanic disaster were introduced in the House today. One of them. by Representative O O'Shaughnessy of Rhode Island would compel all oceangoing steamships tu or from the United States to carry con stan. and adequate wireless Repre- sentative Parran of Maryland offered measure to appropriate s1o0.o0o for naval target practice in destroying Ice hergs by the guns of the warships and by dropping explosives from airships.

Fear Others Perished

Besides the six negroes who drowned near the Beulah break, 1t is believed that others farther inland have perished. No boats have as yet ventured for more than two miles distant and it will be some time before it is known if the list Is to be increased.
 For the first time since the river began its advance not q single point except New Orleans reported an increased gauge at I o clock last night. The rise at New Or leans, three -tenths of foot to 20.2 feet was probably due to the backing up of the water before a strong wind.
 Beginning within the next few days according to weather bureau forecasts another rise will be recorded at Vieksburg and all points south. when the waters which are flowing through the Dogtail and Beulah breaks return to the Mlssis- sippl through the Red river. The hlghe st hocds ever experienced in the latter stream in Louisiana are predicted.

At least 70 small towns have been nun dated by the muddy waters from the big stream, and it is certain that many more will feel the destructive effects of the most devastating floods in the history of the lower valley.

The following is an extract from the address of Theodore Roosevelt in the Auditorium at Chicago, on the night of June F, 1912:
 "One thousand and seventy-eight men met here in convention to decide the future of the republican party. At least seven out of eight of those among them who really represent the people are against the nomination of MT. Taft.
 ''It is the duty of all of them, their first duty, to throw out of the conven- tion every man frauduIentIy seated there by the national committee.
 ''The fraudulent Taft delegates, whom the national committee seated, for instance, from California, from Washington, from Indiana, from Ken lucky, from Michigan, from Arizona, from Alabama, from Texas, represent nothing but the deliberate attempt by certain discredited bosses to upset the free and honest expression of the peo- ple's will.

 "Messrs, Crane, Penrose and com pany were so discredited in the eyes of the republicans of their own states that they were beaten as delegates to the convention; and yet they arrogate to themselves the right to seat in the convention delegates from the states of Washington, California, Arizona, Texas, and the rest have just beaten at the polls!
 Don't Record Will of Bosses"
 'If the convention proves false to the cause of the people, if it records the will of the bosses, whether yet uh beaten as in New York and Colorado, or beaten, as in Massachusetts ann New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Kan sas, it will wreck the republican party it will put back the cause of democ- racy, it will be false to every principle of honor and justice It cannot, witb honesty or prOpriety, stand in any shape or way for the action of the na- tional committee, neither by accept ing that committees nominee for tenn porary chairman, nor by accepting its decision as to the seating and unseat ing of delegations.
 There never has been a clearer line up than this between the plain people of the country on the one side and on the other the powers that prey, tho representatives of special privilege in the world of business and their tools and instruments in the world of poll tics. There can be no compromise in such a contest.
 Tt is natural that the representa- tives of special privileges, who know that special privileges cannot continue if the people really rule, should resort unblushingly to every kind Of Irlcaery and dishonesty in order to OerpetIate their hold upon the party and should he eager callcusly to destroy the party if necessary to prevent its being con- trolled by it's rank and file.
 "Rut for this very reason we feel We have a right solemnly to appeal to all honest men to stand with us on that ] which has now become naked issue of right and wrong. There can be no yielding, no flinching on our part We have the people behind us overwhelm- | ingly. We have justice and honesty on our side.

''In other words, out of the 37 me1 on the national committee, who in MT Taft's interest, disfranchised California so far as two of it's delegates are con cerned, but one single man represent ed state where the majority was re publican and where, when it had the chance, it had not repudiated both the man himself and MT. Taft himself.
 'The action of the committee in thus seating the Taft delegates from Wash nigton was even worse; and in other states I have named it was at least IS bad.
 "This is Mir. Taft's theory of govern ment of the people by a "representa tive part" of the people when it is re duced to practice. From the practice of the theory, under the pretense ot needing the forms of democracy, it is but one step farther to cast aside all pretense whatever; and MT. Taft's Iieutenants have taken this step again and again; from swindIng the people by sharp political tricks they have gone to the point of deliberate theft.
 MT Taft, in encouraging what was done in the Ohio state convention, showed his anXiouus desire D defeat the will of the people by sharp trickery which kept just within the law. But in electing and seating the delegates whom the Taft national committeeman have put on the temporary roll of the convention from California Wa. h. ington, Arizona, Kentucky, indiana, Texas and other states n much longer step towards dishonesty has besn talk en.

New York, N. Y, July 14.-Theodore Roosevelt further discusses the seat l Ing of the contested delegations in the republican national convention, at Chi cago, in an editorial entitled, Thou fshalt not steal" which appears Il the current issue of The Outlook. He says in part:
 "The American people are entitled to know that the charge of stealing in the Chicago convention of 1912 is more than a campaign recrimination and that the frauds complained of are much more serious than the mere rep etition of loose practices which might have found unfortunate precedents in some conventions of both parties.
 Seriously and literally, President Taft's nomination was stolen for him from the American people.
 Majority of Taft Was 21
 "Mr. Taft was re-nominated by majority of barely 21 votes and two of these were publicly raped at the last moment from Massachusetts. If, therefore, more than 19 or 21 of his votes were demonstrated fraudulent, all claim to an honest majority disap- pears. The demonstration can be made as to many more than this number without touching on a single honestly debatable case.
 ''It is sufficient to consider only the four confessedly indefensible cases of California, Arizona, Washington and Texas, which alone wipe out the mar gin. But I wish it distinctly under stood that many of those other cases were as clear as the California case it. self.
 Assault on Rights of People
 "Three of these cases were a direct assault on the rights of the people to elect their own delegates at primaries, since in them a few score politicians decided that the voters as a whole had no right to decide whom they wished 10 see nominated. In the California | case the delegates were elected by a | direct vote at state wide primaries. | The national committee first, and then |

the national republican convention null lifted the state law and thereafter, by inference all state primary laws.
 Tn Arizona and Washington the con- trol of the state conventions depended on which of the two rival delegations were seated from certain counties, the one set elected by the republican vot- CTS at primaries regularly and the other arbitrarily appointed by bolting minorities of both committees. The state committees in each case seated the appointed delegates, and the na- tional committee approved that action
 President Taft was nominated by 21 votes-or by 19, if the two from Massachusetts are omitted which were counted only by the extraordinary rul- ing of Chairman Root that when a delegate answers present and not voting," his alternate shall be called to vote always provided that alternate is a Taft man and the delegate is a Roosevelt man.
 Thirty Votes Involved
 "The cases here discussed cover in their narrowest application 30 vores-- California 2, Arizona 6, Washington IA and Texas at large eight. The change of these 30 votes would have defeated Taft; they would have re- versed all the important actions of the Several of the district cases from Texas are invilved in the same ruling as that which was made in the case of the delegates at large and are quite as fragrant.
 No free people can afford to sub- init to government by theft. If the will of the people is defeated by fraud, then the people do not rule If those who are thus foisted upon them rep resent the special interests instead of the people, then the interests and not the people rule.
