SAM HousToN's WIDOW.

Instead of wasting their surplus dol
lars in contributions in fruitless eff
forts to effect the election of Wood
row Wilson to the presidency Of the
United States, Texas democrats
would accomplish a far better and
more patriotic purpose were they to
donate them toward making the last
remaining days of the aged widow of
Gen. Sam Houston free from want,
misery and starvation. A telegram,
under date of Lawton, OKLA, August
%, reads as follows:
Deserted and an outcast from her
tribesmen, Melissa Houston, full

of Gen. Sam Houston, first president
of the Republic of Texas, has been

WHAT THIRTY YEARS CAN DO.

It has only been thirty years since
the first incandescent light came into
use. What wonderful change in
that time! Electricity has been ha:-
messed and made to do mans bidding
in a thousand ways. The great arc
light, driving the darkness from ten
city blocks. The electric headlight,
emblazoning the track and converting
the rails into ribbons OF steel that
vanish in the darkness mile in front
of the laundering engine. The great
searchlight of the battleship, lighting
I'D the waves for miles and telling oil
the enemy's approach while the sea-
men sleep. The blazing beacons on
our rockbound coasts, flashing their
danger signals into the night, guiding
the seafaring man on his course and
permitting his ship to ride the treach-
erous sea in safety. Electricity, the
great motive power that produces the
hum and whirr of a million spindles.
that turns thousand wheels, that
furnishes transportation to distribute
the great mass of humanity to the
ends of the earth. Electricity, that
gave us that priceless boon, the wire
less telegraph. That enables one ma

all the ships of the sea, Save, oh,

TO
 IDENTIFY BODIES Death Laden Ship Will Ar rive in Halifax Some Time
 Monday.
COMPANY CRITICISED
New Workers Demand That Bodies Should Be Transferred and
 Embalmed.

Halifax, N. S., April 27.-Affairs be- came strange here tonight, when 1 friends and relatives of the Titanic victims discovered that the White Star Line wanted to dodge the expense of shipping bodies home contrary to the company's promise and legal ob- ligation to do so. The company off, cials hastened to disclaim any such intention.
 Directly on the heels of the protes. raised came demand from represen- tative New York men that steamship be chartered to meet the incoming cable ship Mackey Bennett, with a corps of fifteen embalmers and trans fer the bodies home.
 s. H. Wallach, here from New York, to care for the body of Henry B. Har- ris, the New York and Boston theatri- cal manager, and Albert Rosenshine, who awaits the body of his brother, George, announced tonight that they could hire fifteen of the thirty-four embalmers who have been hurried to the city and that they could engage the Steamship Seal at five minute s notice.
 Not, only are many of the bodies badly battered and decomposed. but some are so distorten ny. death .strng- gles which the frigfd water preserved that physicians will have to adopt drastic measures, such as breaking of arms and legs, to get the bodies into the caskets. The only means of Identification in many cases, will be by teeth.
 A wireless picked up at Sable Is- land showed the Mackey Bennett to be 200 miles East of that Island at 6 P. M. or 36O miles East of Halifax. This will bring her in early Monday.
 Major Winship, of the United States Army, close friend of Archibald Butt, aide to President Taft, arrived to- night to look for Major Butts body.

GOOD 'TATER CROP
 IS PROMISED HERE
Truck Growers Make Encouragjng Reports At Their Regular
 Meeting.

One of the first benefits that will be derived from the organization of the Truck Growers Association was reported at the meeting yesterday when several of the members re- ported their potatoes in good con dition and prospects fine for fair crGp in spite of ,he heavy rains that have made farming practically i'm possible fer the past few weeks. Many of these had never paid much attention to the growing of potatoes in former years and their interest in the cultivation of the tubers may be attributed to the teaching Of the as sociation and the government agri- cultural men, who are continually preaching diversification.
 All of the cantaloupe seed and strawberry plants were taken by the members and the acreage for these products is steadily increasing.
 A committee was appointed by the president to name a man for bus mess manager of the organization. The manager will have charge of the buying of seed for the different pro- duets secure markets, etc., and is very important to the we'll fare of the association

Boston, April 27.-After a stump ing tour of Cape" milling region of Massachusetts, Colonel Roosevelt ar rived here today to speak in the Ar- ena, where two nights ago President Taft so roundly flayed him.
 That the ex-President stirred up the Bay State with his counter attack up- on President Taft at Worcester last night, was evidenced in the outpour- ing of crowds during the days run When Roosevelt went through Mas sachusetts on his way to New Hamp- shire two weeks ago slight heed was given him. Today it was different
 Here was a fighting candidate who had plunged into a campaign with the fury of a man determined to win.
 The crowds yelled madly at the col onel. Although a drizzling rain fell all day, they patiently waited for him and urged him pn in his battle. The Taft forces do Enot conceal their ap- prehension over next Tuesdays pri- maries. So worried are they over the effect of the Rough Riders invasion that they have induced President Taft to return here on Monday and make final effort to stem what they fear may be Roosevelt tide.

His Vessel Stopped By Iceberg 14 Miles From Doomed Vessel-Last
 Minutes of Mr .and Mrs. Straus.

Washington, April 27-With a schooner in sight and tramp steam CT only few miles distant, both
 sailing heedlessly away. the giant Titanic and her 1,500 passengers went to their grave. This remark able testimony was given by Cap tain. James H. Moore, of the Canadian Steamship Mount Temple, who swore that he was rushing to the rescue, when he mel the two ships swinging away from the scene of ,he disaster Captain Moore says he could not identify either vessel. The tramp steamer, he said, seemed to be for eign ship of about 1000 or 5000 tons not English and without wireless.
 Tramp Steamer Saw Rockets
 Captain Moore gave the impress ion that either this vessel or the schooner must have been near enough to see the Titanic's rocket signals and to have saved many of the vic- tins of the disaster.
 The first complete record of the crippled Titanics piteous plea for help was presented by Captain Moore whose wireless operator heard the call
 Received First Call for Aid
 As commander of the steamship travelling the J extreme Northern transatlantic lane, Captain Moore is widely experienced with icebergs lcebergs larger than the national capital, he informed the investigat- ing committee, sometimes crossed his patch.

 Stopped By Ice
 Immediately upon receipt of this message, which had been received accidently by the operator, who was aDout to turn in for the night, Cap saln Moore gave orders to- head the snip in the direction of the Titanic's position, which the second message gave as ALAG north, 50:14 west, or iorty-nine miles away. About 3 Q clock the Mount Temple met the lce' and at 3.25 was obliged to stop. Ac that time she was about 14 miles rom the Titanic. Just before this the unnamed schooner had been ssshted coming from the direction oI the Titanic the tramp steamer was sighted about the time the Mount temple Turned in the direction Of tne Titanic. It was about 4:3O a.. IT when the Mount Temple reached tne Titanic's position, the tramp steamer was then to the southward.
