TITANIC INQUIRY IS
. SCORED BY WORKS
IN SENATE SPEECH
Californian Holds Investi-
cation Is Unneces-
Sary.

The feeling of protest against the
lengths to which the Titanic investiga-
tion by Senate subcommittee has gone
broke out in the Senate this afternoon
when Senator Works of aClifornia spoke
out on the floor and held the investiga-
tion was unwise Senator Works took
the view the investigation had gone to
unreasonable lengths; that the revela-
tion by the committee of narrowing de-
tails might we'll have been spared and
that the inquiry should have been made
first by the British Government.
The occasion for the remarks OF Sen
ator Works was his presentation of a
statement of Mrs Walter c. Clark, OF
Los Angeles giving her personal ex-
periences at the time of the wreck. Her
husband was lost Senator Works said
This statement was prepared in the
quiet of the home by one of the un.
fortunate passengers who was on the
ship. 1t is so fair and apparently just

Machine to Guard Flocks

Virgil Connell, a sheepman of Antel-
ope Valley, has invented a novel device
for protecting his lambs from coyotes.
1t consists of an electrical device that
sets off an explosion every hour and
rds any given locality Of coyotes. The
timing OF the explosions was set at six
ty minute intervals after a close study
of the traits Of the destructive animals
The explosion causes a hasty retreat
and before the coyote can decide on an
other attack he is again scared off.-Los

by British officers, and subject to Brit

The story Of the discovery OF this young

The old fiddler came up to her with
tears In his eyes and told her she had a
wonderful voice and should see TO it.

With that he went off, and the girl has
not seen him since. But impressed with
what he said, she applied to the director
OF one Of the choirs which are made up
of the laundry workers. He gave her a
trial and at once sent for Miss Sherwin.
After listening to the girl, Miss Sherwin
