CAN RUSHING NOW
Is MlSDEMEANOR
Keokuk City Council Adopts ordin-
ance of Sweeping Effect.

Keokuk, April 2O.-"Can rush
ing is now a misdemeanor in Keo-
kuk, the city council having passed
an ordinance to that effect. AS q
result picnic parties, fishing expe.
ditions and open air Qualifications OF
all descriptions are apt to become
dry affairs. The new drinking ordi-
nance is unique and also rather rev.
authorizing in its effect. 1t reads:
ANY person or persons buying
any quantity of alcoholic liquors
and taking it away from the place
Of purchase and drinking it at any
other than a private or permanently
occupied house, or any person who
shall drink at any place than a IL
censed place or permanently occu-
pied house, shall be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor."
The first hapless victims of the or.
dinance were arraigned in police
court yesterday. Tom Crowel and
Joe Bastendorf were said to have
permitted their fondness for alco-
holic cheer to lead them into com
p'ications. 1t was charged they
were RECALLING themselves with pal
of .'suds" in an alley just off MAR
street yesterday when they were
picked up by Police Officer Shep
herd and hurried of to Jail.

Perry Woman is Burned.

Perry, April 20.-Mrs. Nell Fraz-
Ter, who has been employed as do
mestic at the home of George Dano-
hoe in this city, was burned by an
explosion of kerosene. The fire in
the furnace apparently had gone out
and she attempted to rekindle 1t by
using coal oil. The explosion en-
veloped her in flames, and her cloth
ing caught fire. Her hands. face
and arms were burned seriously, but
her eyes were uninjured, and the
attending physicians believe she will
recover.

Saw CAPTAIN SMITH
JUMP INTO WATER
Philadelphia Woman Tells Of The
Horror.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 20.-In
describing her experience in the
sinking of the Titanic, Mrs. George
D. Widener, whose husband, a we'll
known financier of this city, and
their son were drowned, said she
had seen Captain Smith of the lin
er jump from the bridge into the
sea and that moment previous she
had seen another officer turn a re-
volver upon himself and send bull
let into his brain.
mr. Widener and l had retired
to our cabin for the night" she
said, when the shock of crashing
into the iceberg occurred. We
thought little of it and did not leave
our cabin. We must have remained
there an hour before becoming fear
full. Then Mr.. Widener went to our
son Harry's room and brought him
to our cabin. A short time later
Harry went to the deck, and hurried
back and told US we must go on
deck. Mr.. Widener and Harry. a
few minutes later, went on deck
and aided the officers who were then
having trouble with those in the
steerage. That was the last l saw
of my husband or son.
81 went on deck and was put in
to lifeboat. AS the boat pulled
away from the Titanic 1 saw one OF
the officers shoot himself in the
head and a few minutes later saw
Captain Smith jump from the bridge
into the sea-"
Mr.. Widener and his son, Harry,
were among the victims of the dis
aster.
Mrs. Widener Is at her home at
Elkins Park, Pa, near here. The
entire Widener family, which is
among the most prominent in Phil
adelphia's financial and social cir
cles. is overcome by the disaster.
The family has received messages of
sympathy from all parts of the
world.

primarily responsible for the whole
disaster, has reached his destina-
tion in safety and unframed.
'tNo legislation can bring back to
earth single life lost upon that ia
tai night. What we can do is to
help to fix the responsibility, if pos
sible, and rely upon the British con-
science to bring to bay the guilty
directorate of this company.
mo SYMPATHY FOR THEM.
"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 and if it does
it will be submerged in the over
whelming lamentation that today
echoes throughout the civilized
world for the victims of their culp-
able carelessness, recklessness that
sent hundreds of their fellow beings
into eternity, desolating homes and
firesides and turning this land into
a house of mourning.
TN this hour of our calamity we
appeal to the majesty of the law to
deal out retributory justice to this
guilty company to the last degree"
Two more bills framed on the les
son drawn from the Titanic disaster
were introduced in the house yester-
day. One of them, by Representa-
tive O'Shaugh nessy of Rhode Island,
would compel all ocean-going steam
ships to or from the United States
to carry constant and adequate wire
less. Representative Parran of
Maryland offered measure to APP

guns Of the warships and by drop
ping explosives from airships.

Sen. RAYNER
CRILLS ACTION
OF DIRECTOR
Greatly Deplores Absence Of Right
to Prosecute Grim
inally.
WAS COWARDLY TO LEAVE.
Managing Director and Board Were
If Responsible Blame Fixed
ON Them.
WAS coWARDLY TO LEAVE

Washington, D. c.. April 20.-An
indictment, rarely eQualed in its
vigor of +. Bruce Ismay, managing
director, and other officials of the
White star line, holding them re-
isponsibfe for the Titanic disaster,
was delivered in the senate yester-
day by Senator Raynor of Maryland,
who pictured Ismay as 'the officer
primarily responsible for the whole
disaster, who has reached his des-
tination in safety and unframed"
Senator Rayner pointed out that
while there were no civil nor Grim
fnal remedies available in the Amer
lean courts, criminal and civil suits
could be brought in the British
courts and that congressional COM
mittee would have absolute author
sty to subpoena every one connect
ed with the disaster and that if any
one should refuse to answer ques-
tions he could be indicted and i'm
prisoned for contempt.
TOOK LAST BOAT.
'Mr. Ismay claims, according to
reports, that he took the last life
boat cried Senator Rayner.
II do not believe it, and if he did
it was cowardly to take any life
boat, for the managing director of
the line with his board, is criminal
~ responsible for this appalling
tragedy.
eff this had happened on an
american vessel there would be no
question that an indictment would
be found and If the facts were sus-
aained the officers of the company
could be convicted of man slaught-
or if not murder because the evil
dence is clear that the vessel was
not properly equipped with effic-
sent life saving apparatus.
"I have not the slightest doubt
that the northern route was taken
In obedience to Mr.. Ismay's direct
orders, and that with full warning
ne risked the life of his entire ship
TO make a speedy passage.
FORSAKES HIS VESSEL.
SsI care not what the rules of the
England admiralty are. Here you
have the spectacle of the head Of the
Rfne failing to see that his ship was
properly equipped with life saving
apparatus, needless of the warnings
that he was sailing in a dangerous
sea, foresaking his vessel and per-
uniting 1900 of her passengers and
crew to be swallowed by the sea.

of separation that took place on the
sinking ship are too fearful for the
mind to dwell upon and contem-

a matter Of conserving the moisture
