British Court Exonerates Ismay.

London.-Thc judgment of the Brit
fish Board of Trade Court of Inquiry
into the disaster to the White Star
liner Titanic, which sank in mid-ocean
with 1,517 souls after collision with
an iceberg on April 14th, were pro-
nounced by Lord Mersey. the presid-
ing judge, before a large audience.
The court found that the collision
with the iceberg was due to excess
i've speed at which the Titanic was
navigating; that proper watch was
not kept; that the ships boats were
properly lowered, but that arrange
ments for manning were insufficient;
that the Leyland liner California
might have reached the Titanic If she
had attempted to do so; that the
track followed was really safe with
proper vigilance and that there was
no discrimination against third-class
passengers in the saving of life.
The Court of Inquiry exonerated j.
Bruce Ismay, chairman and managing
director of the White Star line.

WOOL, SUGAR AND EXCISE MEAS.
URES VOTED DOWN
FLATLY.

PAYNE WARNS MEMBERS TARIFF
REDUCTION WOULD RUIN
BEET INDUSTRY.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Washington. - With machine-lke
precision, the Democratic House
forced the wool and sugar tariff re-
vision bills and the excise tax bill back
upon the Senate with none of the Sen.
ate amendments accepted.
On the wool bill no conference was
asked. The House left it flatly on the
Senate whether that branch desired to
pursue the legislation further.
The Republicans were reported to
be favorable to plan to absent them
selves from the chamber, thus giving
the Democrats chance to pass the
measures and send them along for the
presidential veto. The Republican lin
surgents" opposed this scheme.
Senate Democrats, enjoying the Re-
publican disagreement, will seek to
take advantage of it. Concerted plan
of action probably will be adopted
when the Senate Democrats caucus on
the wool measure.
Motions by Representatives Payne
and Crumpacker of Indiana to concur
in the Senate amendments of the wool
tariff bill were voted down, 159 to rs,
and 172 to Sc.
The Canadian reciprocity amend
ment was lost 127 to 1O7, while that
providing for the tariff board met the
same fate, 130 to 9S.
On this measure Underwood asked
that the Senate be asked to confer
with the House, and conferees were ap
pointed.
The House free sugar bill was
reached last. AS amended by the Sen
ate, the measure provided for duty
of $1.60 on sugar, reduction of 80
cents hundred from the existing
rate. 1t also abolished the Dutch stan.
dard. Representative Payne defended
the amended bill, and warned the Dem
ocrats that they were seeking to sign
the death warrant of the beet sugar
industry in the country by taking off
the duty.
The House voted for "a conference,
144 to "a.
