As Claude dashes up to the prison steps
to make sure that the scoundrel Desmond
is stll safely behind the bars, he is met
by the turnkey, who proudly informs our
hero that he has made a great capture.
An Oriental Sherlock Holmes is that
turnkey, and he looks for Claudue to
say: Astounding! Your deductions are
marvelous!"

NEW PLATFORM PLANNED
BY STATE REPUBLICANS

Springfield, ILL.,, April 2O,--The reso-
lutions adopted yesterday by the re-
publican state convention, which nam
ed a national delegation instructed for
Roosevelt, endorsed the national and
state administrations, condemned
"jackpotism;" and recommended
changes in the state constitution;
favored the short ballot; the initiative
and referendum, in favor of which the
people declared themselves by large
majority in 1910 The reform of our
system of taxation, the necessity for
which is felt and recognized by all and
which has been recommended by the
special tax commission created by the
general assembly to investigate the
subject of state and local taxation.
The abolition of the system of cumu-
lative voting, which 80 often has led
to the return of unfit candidates to the
legislature with the consequent evils
OF jackpotism and legislative corrup-
ton. Owing to diversity Of opinion as
to the relative importance of matters
requiring constitutional amendment
far been unable to secure the reces-
sary two-thirds vote in favor Of the
submission of a constitutional amend
ment providing for the adoption Of
any one of them. The first practical
step, therefore, in the direction of pro-
curing the proposed reforms is the
amendment of our constitution SO as
TO provide that the Legislature may at
any session propose the submission to
the people OF amendments to not more
than three articles of the constitution
al the same time. We, therefore, de-
clare ourselves in favor Of the submis-
sion to the people Of a constitutional
amendment for this purpose, and urge
the general assembly to submit propo-
sails for such proposed constitutional
amendment during the present extra
ordinary session.

relatives of the Chicagoans who were
on board the sunken liner still hoped
that, through some error of the dis
patches, or by some inexplicable
chance, those for whom they were
seeking might be on board, although
their names had not appeared on the
lists of survivors.
But the reckoning that came when
the survivors finally reached the
docks swept these hopes away. Even
the officials of the White Star line
have given up hoping that a single
passenger other than those picked up
by the Carpathia lives to tell of the
horror OF last Monday morning.

IN DOUBT WHERE TO LAND.
Before deciding definitely where
to make for, l conferred with Mr.. Is
may, and though he told me to do
what thought best, / informed him,
taking everything into consideration,
l considered New York best. / knew
we should require clean blankets,
provisions and clean linen, even if
we went to the Azores, as most of the
passengers saved were women and
children and they were hysterical; not
knowing what medical attention they
might require, thought it best to
go to New York. l also thought 1t
would be better for Mr.. Ismay to go
to New York or England as soon as
possible, and knowing l should be out
of wireless communication very soon
II I proceeded to the Azores, 1t left
Halifax, Boston and New York, so I
chose the latter.
IGNORES SOME WIRELESS CALLS.
Again passengers were hysterical
about ice and 1 pointed out to Mr.. Is
may the possibilities of seeing ice If
| went to Halifax Then l knew from
the gravity of the disaster that 1t
would be best to keep in touch with
land stations as best l could.
eve have experienced very great
difficulty in transmitting news, also
names of survivors. Our wireless Is
very poor and again we have had SO
many Interruptions from other ships
and also messages from shore (prin-
cipally press, which we ignored).
81 gave instructions to send first
all official messages, then names OF
passengers; then survivors private
messages.

nancier of this city, were drowned, said

into his brain.
Mr. Widener and ! had retired TO
our cabin for the night" she said,
when the shock of crashing into the
iceberg occurred. We thought little of
it and did not leave our cabin. We
must have remained there an hour be-
fore becoming fearful.
HELP TO CALM PANIC.
Then Mr. Widener went to our son
Harry's room and brought him to our
cabin. a short time later Harry went
to the deck and hurried back and told
us that we must go on deck. Mr.. Wild
cner and Harry a few minutes later
went on deck and aided the officers
, who were then having trouble with
those in the steerage. That was the
last | saw Of my husband or son.
