DAMAGE TO THE UTAH.

In the stress OF the news of the past
week which told OF the unparalleled
disaster to the Titanic, an accident
to the battleship Utah was overlooked
bv most readers. That accident oc'
Cured on the same day as the sinking
of the Titanic, and probably very few
saw or paid attention to it. We find
an account of it in the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican Of April 18th,
which says that the accident might
very easily have been serious, but by
good fortune it was not, 1t appears
that the British steamship Condor
"struck our crack man-ofwar in the
smother off Tompkinsvillc Con New
York Bay) on Monday afternoon.
The collision knocked a hole in the
Utah Is side exactly opposite one Of the
swimming tanks, so that the sea wa
ter only flowed into a place meant for
sea water. The merchantmen, how
ever, was badly hurt. Fer bows ''were
bent like tin by the impact against
81 $50 tons of steel, and it was difficult
to keep her ahoat by the aid of the
pumps,
The account says that the damage
done to the battleship "is expensive
rather than scrious,' but that 1T I" eff
feetually dampened the high spirits Of
the crew. who had come in fresh from
breaking the world 8 record for target
practice.
It is a Joy to every one III Utah that
the great battlcship named after this
State was not seriously damaged, and
this Joy is added to by the fact that
the gunners of the Utah had broken
the world S record for target practice.
The Utah is vindIcating herself splen-
didly. and is in every way credit to
the State Doubtless, the repairs made
necessary by the collision reported Will
be undertaken speedily, and before long
the ship will be ready for splendid serv.

THE BASEBALL OPENINGS.

The Union Association OF Baseball
| Clubs, commonly called the Union
League, was scheduled to open its
season Of 1912 today, Tuesday
Weather conditions, however, prevent
the game in this city between Salt
Lake and Helena, which will be played
tomorrow. The OgdcnGreat Falls
game at Ogden also probably will be
postponed until Wednesday, The in.
dications are that MissouIa and Butte
will play at Missoula.
This will be the second year of the
Union League, Last ons ponnant
winner was Great Falls.
In spite of the fact that 1911 was
the first year of the league, it not only
weathercd all Of the storms that be-
came out financial success. The at
tendance was larger than was expected,
particularly in Salt Lake. This city
experienced what is called IN baseball
an enthusiastic come back" re-
awakening. The total receipts Of the
crgue last year were s91 900, OF which
ST 900 WAS contributed by Salt Lake.
The league this year consists Of the
cities Of salt Lake, Ogden, Butte,
Helena, Great Falls and Missoula. Last
year Boise was III the league, but this
season Ogden replaces Boise.
Much of the expense incident to
starting a new league was met last
year, and so will not have to be met
this year. This expense particularly
refers to the building Of parks, grand
stands, and the equipment thereof. All
Of the towns in the league have mod
crn baseball plants, put in at heavy
expense.
Tomorrow opening games Will be:
Helena ut salt Lake; Great Falls at
Ogden; Butte at Missoula
The present season promises TO sur
pass last years splendid record, both
In attendance and in quality Of ball
playing.

MIR. IsMAY's STATEMENT,

The statement made by Managing
Director Ismav of the White Star Line
in his own behalf fatty contradicts
accounts that have been had hereto
fore of his notions on the Titanic. lie
denies that he was dining with Captain
Smith at the time Of the disaster,
claims that his seat was not ut the
captains table, and affirms t.lat at
no time did he interfere with the man,
agement. the speed, or the route OF
the ship. He states that when he
went aboard the Titanic he had no
intention of remaining in the United
| States, but ''came merely 10 observe
the new vessel rs | had done in the
| case of other vessels of our line. And
vet he took no interest in her naviga-
| ton. saw Captain Smith only casually,
was never in the captain s room, had
not visited the engiue-room or gone
through the ship, and did not 20 or at
tempt to go to any part OF the snip TO
which any other first.cabin passen-
gers did mot have access. Accepting
all this as true, it might pertinentiy
be asked how Mr.. lsmay expected to
H observe the new vessel in her initial
trip'' as he had done TO other yes
sells of his line. Surely one embarklng
on ship for the purpose of noting
her sailing qualities, her speed, the
workings of her machinery, her man
apement generally. and her response
to that management, would be expect
ed TO make special Investigations ana
to observe carefully precisely those
things which Mr. Ismay says he did not
in any way look into or inquire about.
When we consider, further, that the
statements made by Mr.. Ismay are
not in accord with other accounts, and
cspeciallv when we recollcct that the
dispatches stated that Captain Smith
was under scaled orders to make rec
ord voyage, and that Mr., Ismay was
presumed to be on board to see that
that order was complied with, 1t is
apparent that the discrepancies be-
tween Mr.. Ismay's statement and
what was to he expected that he would
do with respect to the very errand
which he himself says he was upon,
need explanation. For, how could a
great official of the steamship COM
,any know anything about the way
that the new vessel handled herself
{ he had no special communications
With the captain. did not know how
he engines were working, and did
rot take any more interest or liberty
han was open TO any other first
class passenger! 1t is clear that the
OF Mr.. lsmay do not cor
'espond with what would naturally be
Inc expectation as to a man who says
Ic was on inspection duty with re-
,pcct to the initial trip Of great
steamer owned by his company, while
IN their face they vary largely from
tstcmcnts madc by others.
We do not know what dependence
o place upon the stories of revelry and
which are alleged as TO
many of the crew, and especially in
he story Of the finding of the look
,ui on the crows nest drunk and
Islccp. For the credit Of humanity,
md for the due faithfulness of per
uus on responsible and imperative
luty, we trust that these stories can
'c swept away, for they arc too dread
nj TO contemplate, alike in themselves
md in their dircfuI results, in case
he stories wers true.
