Ballin on Titanic

Hamburg, Germany. April 16.-Albert Ballin managing director of the Ham burg-American line, in reply to an inquiry today said
 The great shipping companies must try to improve upon the extensive measures of precaution which they have taken and which in their opinion and in that of the underwater already give the highest pos sible security. It will be clear to any reasonable man that the size, speed and other qualities of the unfortunate Titanic had nothing to do with her loss.
 T am further firmly convinced that the vessel was fully provided with ali modern safety appliances. Why they proved insufficient is a question that can only be answered after more extensive reports have been received and examined by experts and the results studied with the greatest care in order to improve as much as possible the present measures of pre- caution.''

Graham Replies to the
 Attack On Hin By Mann

nor even an affidavit as MT. Mann had alleged. MT. Graham, shaking his clenched fist at MT. Mann, declared that he was justified in the belief that MT. Mann was trying to get these charges before the country when he had knowl- edge that they were absolutely false
 MT. Graham charged that MT. Mann virtually had falsified the records in the case. While MT. Mann was pllloried he sat grimly in his seat and offered no interruption.
 Senator Gamble of South Dakota, chair man of the Senate committee on Indian affairs, was at the bottom of a conspir- acy to discredit the House Indian com mittee, which he could not control.
 MT, Mann insisted that common de- cency demanded investigation of the whole thing. No action was taken.

 And yet in eight halls of justice the

Mann, the minority leader. knowingly had ut- tered a deliberate falsehood in an effort to discredit Representative Graham of Illinois. chairman of the House interior department expenditures committee, the latter took the floor today and delivered . bitter arraignment of his colleague.
 The attack grew out of Mr. Mann's allegations of a,few days ago that Chair man Graham had befriended and advised Mrs Helen Pierce Gray, alleged by him to be a woman lobbyist, active in Indian legislation.
 An affidavit which MT. Mann said proved his allegations was read by MT. Graham, who said 1t was neither proof

VISITOR PAID
PENALTY TO CONE

Charles 4. Calkins was in SO great
a hurry to get to Honolulu that he
paid in San Francisco his fine of $500
and came in the Nippon Maru, which
arrived here this morning.
What his business here is that is
so urgent can not be said at this
stage, as Mr. Calkins hurried away
from the steamer, and where he is
located could not be ascertained.
All that is known now is that he
paid his 5000 in San Francisco, and
thus saved eight days delay, for had
he waited for the first domestic
steamer, he would not have started
from San Francisco until tomorrow by
the Lurline, and then he would have
arrived here on Wednesday the 18th
instant. If she we're full, then the
Wilhelmina would be the next boat by
which he could travel without paying
excess. She is not due here until the
goth.

BUSINESS LOOKS
SOME STRONGER

Dun's Review of January 20 says
in part:
Extreme cold weather, while it has
stimulated certain branches Of trade,
has had the general effect of checking
retail distribution; otherwise the bus
mess situation shows strengthened
confidence, combined with a clearly
defined conservatism. The best ex-
hibit continues in iron and steel, in
which further large orders by the rail
roads, the government and the indi-
vidual contractors serve to increase
the volume of business and cut down
the number of idle mills. In the dry
goods trade some labor disturbances
retard mill operations to some extent,
but the outlook continues very salts
factory, the volume of transactions
showing marked gains without specu-
lative features 1t is noteworthy that
exports of cotton goods to China have
been resumed. The wooden goods
distribution continues large, with
prices firm, The New England shoe
business is quite active. Leather is
very firm, though sales are not quite
so large. Hides are more active. The
grain market is firmer, but raw cotton
is very irregular. The weeks record
OF bank clearings is encouraging, ex-
hibiting a gain of SO per cent. over
last year at New York City and of 10
per cent. outside New York Railroad
gross earnings are barely up to those
of last year, showing a loss of IL per
cent. in the first week of January. The
financial markets have been rather
quiet. 1t is noticeable that as the
business outlook is conservatively i'm.
proved in the United States, there is
an undercurrent of unrest and uneasi.
ness abroad, the extent and the effect
of which can not be at present read.
. lily measured. The foreign commerce
continues large, amounting at New
York to $35,696,107 in the latest week
against $31,192,391 in 1911 and $685..
292,O96 in 1910. Exports were ST..
699, 105, this being only $375,897 less
than the imports, which amounted to
$1S,007002. There seems to be nc
reason why the export business in
1912 should not equal the notable ex
pansion in 1911
