IT REMAINS A MYSTERY
Senator Smith Can't Get on Track of
One Wireless Dispatch.

New York, May 4.-The efforts of
Senator William Alden Smith, chair
man of the senate committee investi-
eating the Titanic disaster, to confirm
the report that a message telling of
the Titanic's fate was received in New
York early on the Monday morning
after the wreck, have thus far proved
fruitless after two days OF exam1na-
ton of witnesses here.
what concerns me most" said Mr..
Smith, sis the Postal telegram given to
the operator on the Carpathia early
Monday morning addressed to Isle
frank and signed 'Yamsi,' which told
of the sinking of the vessel and of the
serious loss of life.
"I am most desirious of knowing
where that message was the following
two days and why it was held up. Mr..
Franklin says he die not receive it till
Wednesd The Californian, which
was in easy reach of the Carpathia,
could have sent it, and the Carpathia's s
operator, Cottam, teStthed that ne mad
sent it,
Jack Binns, wireless operator on the
ill-faeed steamer Republic, called to
testify concerning the wireless equip
ment of vessels in the vicinity of the
Titanic, said that the responsibility for
the lack of news rested with Operator
Cottam. While the Carpathia's equip
ment could only send a message 200
miles, he said she was in touch with
the Californian and the Californian
could have relayed the news to the
Olympic, which could have sent it
ashore.
Melville E. Stone, general manager
of the Associated Press, was called to
testify concerning the efforts of the
Associated Press to obtain news. Mr..
Stone presented docum entary records
showing the source of the various
news dispatches concerning the disas-
ter which the Associated Press sent
out.
George A. Harder of Brooklyn, who,
with his wife, was one of those saved
from the Titanic, testified concerning
the apparent failure OF the mechanism
of one of the ships water-tight COM
partments to work. Harder said that
when he went down to his stateroom
to get life belts, he saw four or five
members of the crew on &c" deck on
the starboard side, with wrenches in
their hands, one of whom was trying
to turn a bolt in a plate in the floor
marked wv T. c." which Harder said
he assumed meant water-tight COM
partment- The witness said he heard
one of the men say: TITS no use, this
one won't work Let's try another

Many Persons Killed by the
Collapse of a Building.
Contained 200 People When the
Crash Came.
MOSTLY WOMEN and CHILDREN
Upper Stories Had Not Yet
Been Completed.
Carpenters We're at NOrk
When Walls Buckled.

Toronto, May 4.-Many persons are
reported to be killed in the collapse
of a wall of the new five story oulIu-
ing of William Nelson company. a
score of employees were buried and Two
are known to be dead.
The building which has been occu-
pied for only two months, was supposeo
to have been splendidly built ana was
said by it's owners to be the most up
to-date plant of the kind in the coun-
try. The first and second floors were
occupied by manufacturers of ice cream
and chocolates.
Two hundred employees, the majority
of whom were women and children We're
working when the accident occurred
shortly before noon. The entire city
fire brigade turned out to aid in the
rescue work. The first bodies recovered
were those of man and a woman VINO
had been instantly killed Later the
unidentified body of a girl was brought
out. Five girls still alive but badly
hurt were next removed.
1t was impossible to estimate the
number of missing or their identity
but it was feared between 20 and 80
dead will be found. The workers also
uncovered the feet of two men and
girl. The bodies could not be readily
released.
At 1 o'clock the workers. following
the cry for help, discovered a woman
whose name is not known hemmed in
by girders and a mass of debris. Her
position was such it was believed she
could not be taken out alive.
Three more were added to the list
of injured when an unidentified car
penter who had been working on the
building was found unconscious, and
William Lamby and a laborer were
taken out. The upper stories of the
building were incomplete and the car
penters still were working on them
when the wall fell in. The wall ap-
pears to have buckled about half way

ASKS FOR SQUARE DEAL.
Taft Continues to AssaiI Roosevelt
and His Policies.

Baltimore, May president Taft
began his fight for the support of the
Maryland voters in Mondays presi-
dental primary today with speeches
at HyattSville and Laurel, in which he
again attacked Colonel Roosevelt, ac-
cusing him of misstatement and mis-
quotation of his speeches; said Mr..
Roosevelt -consorted with the bosses
years while he was / n the White
House, and assailed bitterly and at
length Mr.. Roosevelt's doctrine of the
recall of judges and decisions.
I'm man of peace shouted the
president at Hyattsvil1e, "and I don't
want to fight. But when do fight
want to hit hard. Even a rat in a
corner will fight
The president said he deprecated the
necessity that forced him to come out
in political campaign like an ordi-
nary candidate. IF only my personal
ambition was concerned he said, ''if
only my personal reputation was at
stake, I should not bother you, but I
consider that 1 represent a cause.
''The innovator is abroad in the land
and we are told that there are new
things that should be introduced, for
instance the recall of judges. If his
policy is adopted it will mean that in
Democratic years the decisions upon
laws will be Democratic and in Re-
publican years they will be Republi-
can. So We'll have varying interpre-
tatlons of the constitution depending
on a single vote.
Il am courageous enough to come
out and tell the people what they al
ready know-they recognize the short
comings of a sudden decision of the
people,
All ask is a square DEAL" said the
president. 'Mr. Roosevelt believes in
referring to the standards of sport as
maxims of life. l don't object to It.
But all 1 ask is that he give me a
square deal"

Gone Out.

Kansas City, May 4.-Work on the
new million dollar Union station
here was suspended today when the q

employs stone cutters whose organi-

The officers of the International Stone
Cutters union demanded that the con-

Indiana workmen. This was refused
and all the union men working on the
station were called out

find TWO DEAD men.
Country Folk, Not Alarmed at Shoot
ing, See Blood Stains.

Tompkinsville, KY, May 4.-Because
the sound of shooting on Kettle Creek,
this county is common, neighbors paid
no attention to a fuSillade they heard,
until a passer-by saw blood stains on
the door steps of a shack occupied by
Albert Stephens and William Mayberry.
Investigation revealed the dead bodies
of the two men inside the shack, both
pierced by four bullets. Whether the
men, who were friends, quarreled, and
fought a duel, or whether they were
victims of unknown persons has not
been determined.

Sadly ~DisiIIusioned.

A certain young man of tender heare
has lost his faith in mankind. Some
years ago he did a favor for a friend,
who, to show his appreciation, present
ed him with a pipe of meerschaum
persuasion, wonderfully and marvel
ously wrought and bearing date Of a
hundred years before. The young man
treasured this pipe, which was to him
a masterpiece. And whenever the blue
smoke curled upward from its bowl
his heart swelled with the thought
of the generosity and goodness of the
human race, for he had been told
when the pipe was handed to him that
a pawnbroker would advance three
dollars on it, thus proving it to be
worth at least a ten-spot. Doing IA
vors, he thought, surely furnished rec
ompense. And then one day he broke
the stem. He took it to a tobacco
mist with whom he was well acquaint-
ed and asked to have it mended. TITS
such a treasure he explained. Notice
the work on 1t and the date" The to-
bacconist smiled. my boy" he re-
marked, "they turn these out by the
barrel and sell them for ten cents.
