YOUTH AND MAID
 KEPT IN DARK ROOM

San Francisco. May IA remark able case of arrested development came to light here yesterday when the insanity committee discovered a young man 21 and girl IT years old, who had been imprisoned with their crazed mother in their home since their birth. The prisoners never had been allowed to peep out of the dark little house, and their minds were as blank as if they had been reared in a tomb.
 The two victims of their mothers strange vagaries are James Crum- mey and his sister Mabel Their father died soon after the birth of the girl and the shock affected the mothers mind. The children were kept in a darkened room and the neighbors believed they had been sent away.
 When officers of the Insanity Commission entered the house, the two prisoners covered in fear and made inarticulate sounds. The son was sent to the home for the feeble minded and the girl cared for by a charitable organization.

What the Ministers are Talking
About.

Ten of the ministers of Addison
county met in Middlebury November
19 to discuss the general social and
religious conditions in the county.
Prayer was offered by the Rev. Samuel
Rose of Cornwall. DIR. E. d. Collins of
Middlebury college opened the meeting
with paper on "The Educational Con-
dtions and Needs" After mentioning
some of the defects in our present sys-
tenn, he recommended as part of an
advanced program along this line in
creased salaries for the teachers, a
longer teaching period for each teacher
in the same school, a standardization of
the reports for superintendent and an
increase in the tax rate for school
purposes. Rev. R. G. Woodbridge of
Vergennes was the next speaker and
presented the subject of the Social
Field" Emphasis was laid upon the
community enterprises as opposed to
the individual, using the public library,
the moving pictures, lyceum courses
and other civic forces already on the
field to uplift the whole community.
Mention was made of the short sighted
policy on the part of the towns in maxi
ing any charge for the luse of town
property for community service. Rev.
A. A. Lancaster of Middlebury pre-
sented a paper on "The Evangelistic
Field and Its Needs" A more modern
form of presenting religious truth was
recommended. The evangelism of the
present day should not be content with
results which awakened the emotions of
the individual merely, but should see
that the new life of the Christian found
expression in some permanent form of
good for his fellowmen.
The next meeting will be held January
Il, 1913, at which time the following
subjects will be considered: The Soci-
illogical Map of Addison County, Social
Defects and Their Cure, Causes and
Remedies for Juvenile Delinquency and
Social Waste-How Eliminated. All
the ministers of the county are invited
to attend.

President
 Feels Loss
 Of His Aide

Washington, April 19-In a glowing tribute to Major Butt, President Taft, in a statement given out at the White House today, expressed high esteem in his personal aide who lost his life in the wreck of the Titanic. The statement was as follows:
 Major Archie Butt was my mili- tary aide. He was like a member of my family and I feel his loss as if he had been a younger brother.
 "The chief traits of his character were loyalty to his ideal, his cloth and his friends. His character was a simple one in the sense that he was incapable of intrigue or insincerity He was gentle and considerate to everyone, high and low He never lost, under any conditions, his sense of proper regard to what he consid- cred the respect due to constituted au- thority. He was an earnest member of the Episcopal church and loved that communion. He was a soldier, every inch of him, a most competent and successful quartermaster and a devotee of his profession.
 After I heard that part of the ships company (Titanic) had gone down I gave up hope for the rescue of Major Butt unless by accident. l knew that he would certainly remain on the ships deck until every duty had been performed and every sacri- flee made that properly fell on one charged, as he would feel himself charged, with responsibility of rescue

Saddened Crowd
 Seek Survivors
 Of The Steerage
No Records of Addresses of Third Class Passengers
 Had Been Preserved

New York April 19.-Another drama of sorrow and despair was en- acted around the Cunard dock, today, where last night, the pier groaned be- heath the weight of grief and joy when the rescue ship Carpathia brought Titanic survivors to land.
 It was the relatives and friends of the steerage passengers of the. wreck ed liner who, today, haunted the pier: Last night, while loved ones of those on the first and second cabin lists of the Titanic were given passes to the pier and permitted to strain to their hearts those recovered from the lev1a- than that was, a pitiful crowd of poor ly dressed men, women and children from the East Side pleaded and stormed behind police lines for the same privilege. They were denied en- trance to the pier. Those whom they sought to see were hurried off to hos pitals, Salvation Army homes, the Municipal Lodging House and mis- sions. Not a glimpse did they get of anxious loved ones here.
 When the last of the survivors had been taken off and the pier was closed this crowd of the disappointed invaded the dock. Then it was that officials remembered that in the hurry and excitement of the landing, no record had been kept of where the steerage passengers were sent Grief-stricken men and women pour ed out their hearts in protestatlon and appeal but officials could give them no news of their loved ones.
 Gradually the crowd dwlndled. In little groups they trudged away. They besieged the Municipal Lodging House, the hospitals, the Salvation Army homes. No one knew the names of those survivors given haven. Waiting women were denied entrance.
 And so, through the night, this sor- rowing crowd trudged through streets from home to home despairingly seek ing their loved ones.
 At dawn they reappeared at the Cunard pier with dumbly beseeching faces. their poor clothes sodden with the nights rain. They pleaded for news No official had any. The foreigners were ordered off the pier. In pathetic groups, constantly grow

tention to the fact that the railroad companies in the west, southwest and southeast are at present paying en- gineers approximately the same rates we are contending for here, with bet ter working conditions.
 April 18th you place the refusal of the roads to grant increases 'on the roads inability to pay more and offer nothing beyond the bare statement to substantiate it regardless of the fact that financial reports show both in- creases in earnings and volume of business. You state the public inter ests are demanding safer and better trains, double track, interlOcking and block signals, better cars, stronger track, elimination of grade crossings and the adoption of safety appliances We agree that the public are entitled to all these as we are firmly of the opinion our constituency composed of 28,000 trained engineers of the roads are important factors in creating that degree of safety so essential to the public demands. We also desire to call attention to the fact that in both the west and south where the volume of freight and passenger traffic IS lighter grade, the roads are making these improvements mentioned, still making money and paying better wages than we request. We note your reference to the conservatism or the engineers and wish to suggest we have not departed from that policy but when the conference committee seeks to capitalize the conservatism of the engineers to the extent of declining our proposition in it's entirety such action forces us to admit the futility of adhering to a policy that is unable to secure results that have heretofore been obtained by other employees with more radical policies"
 The committee then serves it's ulti- matum on the companies.
