FIFTH OFFICER
RESCUED MANY
VERY STRANGE STORY COMES
FROM CANADA.
Passengers Aboard Steamer Mount

Their Dispositions be Taken.
Associated Press.

| Associated Press.
Washington, D. c.. April "a
Harold G. Lowe. fifth officer Of the
Titanic, told the Senate investigat-
ing committee today that with a vol
unteer crew he rescued four Titanic
survivors from the water, saved a
sinking collapsible life boat by tow
ing it astern of his and took off
twenty men and one woman from
the bottom of an overturned life
boat
Every one of those under his
charge he landed on the Carpathia
zafely.
Lowe says his boat loaded to ca
pacity was lowered from the top
deck, and while the boat was de-
scending, to prevent others from at
tempting to jump into it he kept up
fusilade from his revolver. Once
afloat he took charge of flotilla of
small craft which eventually was
rescued by the Carpathia
Competing in interest with his
testimony was a telegram received
by Chairman Smith of the commit
&c from Acting Premier Foster Of
Canada
The latter told of the docking of
the steamer Mount Temple at St.
Johns, n. b., with passengers aboard
who claimed to have seen the I'll
tanic sink.
Senator Smith requested that the
depositions of the officers and crew
of the Mount Temple be taken.
Dr. F. c. Quitzman of Toronto
one Of those who claim that he
saw the Titanic sink, will appear be-
fore the committee. The premier
in his telegram said that the captain
Of the Mount Temple reports he re-
ceived a G. @. ID. message from the
Titanic about 1880 a. m, ships
time, Monday while fifty miles south
and west of the Titanic's position.
He tried to reach the Titanic, he
said, but when he reached the po-
sition at 1870 a. m the vessel had
sunk. He was later informed by the
Carpathia that she had the survivors
aboard.

A Large Land Deal

From one OF the parties inter-
ested it is learned that all of the
farming lands tributary to Clear
Creek, near Winslow, have been
purchased by Los Angeles par
ties. This includes the farms OF
F. T. LaPrade and P. E. Plus,
which have produced immense
growths OF alfalfa for the last
few years, and all of the rights
to water of Clear Creek which
were owned by the Clear Creek
Irrigation company.
The purchasing party is repre-
sented by our townsman, Captain
Charles Z. Perkins and explains
the reason of his apparent sojourn
in Winslow for the past month.
1t is said the total of the prices
paid is something near SIoo, 900
and that this deal is but prelimi-
nary to a large irrigation project,
well under way, to which Captain
Perkins has been giving much of
his attention for the last three
years. Holbrook News.

Neither Does the Editor"

A man who owns eighty acres
OF land and has sense enough to
till it, makes the lot OF country
newspaper men look like the last
sad remnants of Dutch lunch.
The farmer has the best of it
all around. He is as independent
as an express company. He
doesn't have to write a solful
obituary over some peak headed
fellow that keeps on display an
exhibit of cut plug profanity that
would make the efforts OF steam
boat mate sound like the meeting
OF the Epworth League. He
dosen't have to go into raptures
over the beauty of an open-face
bride with a cast of countenance
that would blow out the gas.
The farmer isn't required to lie
until his back teeth fall out about
the sterling manhood OF groom
with ears like caulifiower plant
and the brain power of yearling
shote. He doesn't have to run a
contest for the most beautiful
young lady in the community,
make everybody sore, and then
print a 75-cent half-tone of the
beauty that looks like tin-type
OF grandma at the age of thirteen.
Neither does the editor.

Back Of Tammany HAN, says the

crew that backed Judge Parker for

A great Independent newspaper
like the World could not afford to
make declarations such as these II
there were no foundation OF truth
for their utterance. But, the facts
are common knowledge. The Demo-
cratic party has not merely placed
upon ITSELF the stigma of an alliance
with, Wall street bosses. 1t has
done worse than that. 1t has
placed itself in the disgraceful posi-
ton of abject subserviance to the
corrupt money trust OF the nations
greatest financial center. Demo
cratic speakers in the presidential
campaign will probably declaim that
the Ryan crowd got the upper hand
at first but was routed, yet the boss
ing of the convention will speak for
Itself. That is something which
cannot be satisfactorily explained
to the honest voter by the Demo-
cratic spellbinders.

Hookworm p!sease in the south :.

HOOhNOE" DiSodS6 IN I4l0 south
Three years ago Mr. Rockefeller
established a sanitary commission
for the eradication of hookworm
disease, which the investigation OF
IiDr. Stiles and others showed to be
prevalent In the southern states.
The results of the work of this com
mission have just been published in
the second report. A survey of the
infected area has been nearly COM
lpleted. 1t shows that every county
in South Carolina. nearly every
county in Virginia, North Carolina,
Alabama. Mississippi and Tennessee
and twenty-seven out of fifty-nine
parishes OF Louisiana, fifty-seven
out, Of seventy4five counties in Ar
kansas, and twenty-five out of 119
counties in Kentucky are infected
with the disease. 1t also exists in
Texas, Florida, California, Nevada,
Oklahoma and West Virginia.
In addition to the survey that
shows exactly where the disease is
located the commission has made
extensive efforts to inform the pub
lie regarding this disease. County
ldispensarjes have been started,
school inspections have been made,
free clinics for treatment have been
established, and the public has been
informed by lectures, bulletins,
folders, newspaper items, posters,
exhibits, stereopticon pictures and
instruction in the public schools, as
to the danger of this disease. Dur
ing the present year, nearly half a
million people in the infected area
have been reached. The result is,
that while the people affected at
first showed indifference, they are
now docking to the public dispense
ries in large numbers, in some coun-
try districts coming for miles, and
asking to be treated and cured. IN
lection with hookworm practically
|incapaciates a man from work {.
Probably the present condition of
the poor whites" in the South is
due to this disease more than to any
one factor. Negroes are disc badly
injected in many localities.
The journal of the American
Medical Association says that the
control and eventual eradication of
this disease is of the utmost i'm
portauce to the southern states, and
will have a marked influence on the
labor question in the South.
