TITANIC SANK
AWAY FROM
ICE REGION
IT WAS FAR TO THE SOUTH
Interesting Summary as to
Relative Position
washington Post.)

| The discussion as to whether The
Titanic was on the northern or south
ern course across the Atlantic is SIM
plified by a reference to a map of the
world. 1t is an accepted fact that the
ship gave her location when struck as
:46 north and SOFA west! 1t was to
that point the Carpathia steered, and
she found the survivors some distance
FARTHER south.
Latitude ALAG north is south of all
the New England States except the
southern shore of Rhode Island and
Connecticut; the Titanic was in the
same latitude as Long Island Sound
and south of all our great lakes; it
was south of the states of Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon, and parts of Iowa,
Nebraska and Utah. The ship was on
"a line almost due east from New
York city, Chicago, and Omaha, and
some distance south of Boston and
other New England cities.
Take the may of Europe, and the
location of the Titanic as to latitude
is more strikingly Illustrated. The
chit, co;Ioa froY3 Coutbao,ntoy Eno
land, in latitude above 80 north, and
she was at least 8 degrees, or about
600 statute miles south of that lati
tude when she struck the iceberg. She
was in latitude not only far south of
the English Channel, but farther south
than any part of Germany, France, or
Austria, and in about the same lati-
tude as Rome and Constantinople. The
Rivera, where many Europeans and
Americans go to find mild winter
climate, is farther north than was the
Titanic when she ran into the ice
field. The ship was in the same lati
tude as the Adriatic Sea and the north
ern part of the Mediterranean. She
was not more than 100 miles north of
the Azores, which is on the southern
most course across the Atlantic, even
for ships bound for the Mediterranean.
If line were drawn from New YORK
city to Madrid, Spain, that line would
pass near the point where the Titanic
sank in great field of ice. All. reports
show that the ice field was fast moving
south.
How far south would the Titanic
have had to go to have escaped the
ice?

To those who are skeptical as to

ever had Lancaster in his minds eve,
and We believe he ever will have, and
when the time is propitious, we believe
he will strike and will strike with I'M
erring aim and the blow will prove sue
cessful and will secure for US a sum
sufficient to erect building which will
prove suitable and lasting monument
to the memory of Senator William o.
Bradley of Carr ard county KY.
We further believe that when Sena-
tor Bradley takes this matter up in
the upper house, that he will be ably
seconded by Hon. Harvey Helm in the
lower house, and with this pair for US,
who can be against US.

Hustling Business Men All.

There Is not a town anywhere that
can boast of more up-tO-date or Wide
awake set of merchants than Lancaster.
They are ever on the alert for some
new and novel means Of advertising
their business. and as quick as one
scheme is finishedw with. they Immediately
set about cudJeling their brain for some
new and novel scheme. and they keep
the people constantly upon the qui vive
as to what next.
One merchant aGvertises to, and
actually does, give away a barrel Of
money, another gives presents to the
first customers entering his store on
the opening sale day and still another
sends up miniature bal,onns containing
coupons, which are reasonable in
merchandise at his store. These
inventions to catch trade all prove
business getters and attract the people
to town and in consequence they enjoy
liberal patronage.

A jury in the Circuit court failed to
agree on a verdict in the case of the
Commonwealth against Thomas Ralston
charged with the killing of George
Finley at Paint Lick, which had
engrossed the time of the court for
three days. TIE case was given to the
jury last Saturday afternoon and after
several hours celebrating they reported
to Judge Hardin that they were unable
to agree Upon verdict, and there was
no probability of their reaching an
agreement; the Judge requested them
to retire to the jury room and deliberate
for short while longer, and upon
doing so and still failing of a verdict.
as it was Saturday afternoon and the
last day of court and it looked as if
there was no hope of verdict, Judge
Hardin finally dismissed them.

Busy Times.

The neighborhood of the depot in Lam
caster presents busy scene these days,
and nothing points more truly to the
prosperity which the county is enjoying
than the air which pervades this locality.
The streets are thronged with the
farmers wagons, coming in with loads
of tobacco and returning laden with
coal, flour, salt and great loads of
supplies for the winter, wagon loads of
turkeys, droves of turkeys and turkeys
in every conceivable shape are constantly
coming in, to be quickly prepared and
shipped to the eastern market; the
local tobacco warehouse is pricing and
shipping out tobacco at the rate of four
cars per week, the stock men thronging
about the stock pens, shipping fat
cattle and swine for the holiday season,
and every where one is impressed with
the idea that Lancaster is indeed a
thrifty busy place.

Kenyon 'Wet To Dry" Bill Now Under
Debate In Senate But Not Likely To
Pass AT This Session.

II e Kenyon bill, similar to the Shep-
perd bill in the lower house, which
would prohibit the shipping of liquor
into dry territory, is under debate in
the senate this week, but with small
probability of reaching a vote before
the holidays. The Anti Saloon League
Convention is also in session in Wash
ington this week, and the delegates
will do some tall hustling in favor of
this bill. Many of the Senators have
their coat lapels decorated with white
ribbon, denoting their attitude toward
the measure.
Until the Archibald impeachment trial
is ended, the Senate will have but an
hour and half day to devote to dis
cussiOn of this legislation, After that
it will hold the entire field unless some
other legislative arrangement is made.
If pressed to passage in the Senate this
session the bill will then go to the
House. If it fails in the Senate 1T will
go over In both branches until next
session.
1t may be, whether the measuse
passes the Senate or not, that the rush
OF appropriation bills will hold it for
settlement until the extra session.
The opponents of the bill in the Sen
ate declared that if the bill were made
into law it would be declared unconsti-
tutional by the Supreme Court.
The fate of this measure means much
to Kentucky. Its passage would be
the greatest forward step ever taken
in the prohibition cause, would mean a
stoppage to the activities of mail order
houses in adjoining states shipping
liquor into dry territory indiscriminate-
ly, to boys of tender years, without,
in many cases. the formality of even
inquiring into the age of the customer.

telephone from adjoining towns to save
them a room. Every travelling man
who can possibly do so, tried to get

The people Of Lancaster and Garrard
county are in about the same position as
the good lady who secured bird cage
without first having procured the bird;
they have an appropriation for a gov
eminent building site, but no site, and
no appropriation for building in the
even the site is secured. The govern
ment after abandoning the park as the
site, then decided upon part Of the
Presbyterian church lot and the DIR.
Grant property, the deed was submit
ted to the proper authorities, and we
suppose they are now considering the
matter, and we have no doubt will in
due time accept the title and take over
this property.
In the meantime there is no appro-
priation for the building. We notice
every day where appropriations are be-
ing asked for government buildings in
other Kentucky towns, why not in
Lancaster, and we believe that in the
due course of time an appropriation
will be asked for this place, and when
it is asked, no stone will be left
unturned until h e appropriation
is made. Lancaster has a friend
in Washington who has never failed tc
,, look well to her interests, in fact we
do not believe that Senator William o.
Bradley has ever turned deaf ear tt
the request of any citizen of GarrarG
county, has never missed an opportuni.
ty to do whatever was within his power
for his home people and his home towr
and county, nor do we believe that he
will be lacking in perseverance in oul
behalf in this instance, and we hope,
trust and believe that at the proper
time he will see to it that Lancaster
! gets all that is coming to her in the
matter of the wherewith to erect q
suitable government building.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
usages of politics, have sent him back
to Kentucky, the people of his native
county will ever cherish warm spot
in their hearts for him, will ever re.
member that he was her favorite son,
that he reached the pinnacle of fame,
that he held the highest Office, save
one, within, the gift of the people, and
that in the holding of that Office he re.
fected great credit, not only upon him.

Judge Chas. A. Hardin Sets At Rest The
Controversy As Te The Ownership
OF Tie Park To The Salts
faciiOn OF All Con-
carEed.

When the U. s. Government decided
upon the Park in the center Of the Pub
lie Square as the place for the site Of
the federal building, and the question
of the ownership of the Park. whether
it belonged to the town or county,
arose. as soon as be had the Opportuni-
ty to investigate the matter, County
Attorney j. f. Robinson came to the
conclusion that the Park was public
property, and was intended to be util-
lied for street and all public purposes.
He so informed the fiscal court and all
of the government representatives who
were interested in the matter. How
ever, because of the cOntentiOn between
the town and county as to whom the
title was vested in, and the failure to
settle the question promptly. the gov
eminent abandoned the idea of utiliz-
ing it, and forthwith made other ar
rangementS, the result of which the
people of Lancaster are about equally
divided in their opinion as to whether
or not this was best. many of them
wishing to see the building erected
there. while many others were opposed
to it.
Meantime suit was filed to settle
the question of ownership; this Gues-
ton was submitted to Judge Hardin
last week, and he has handed down an
opinion that the Park was public prop
erty, dedicated for the purpose of
streets and other public Isages, and he
goes further and decided that it Is the
duty of the town to maintain this Park.
Judge Hardin's decision meets with the
approval of all The interested parties.
representatives of both town and coun-
ty, the matter is forever set at rest
and no appeal will be taken. everybody
being willing to accept Judge Hardins
decision as final in the matter.
The question of who owns the park"
has become a problem along with who
struck Billy Patterson" chow old is
Ann" and many other unsolved and
knotty questions, but now that the
former has been answered. the matter
determined for good and all, it now be-
comes burning question of what shall
We do with it? Shall it remain in it's
present condition, an eye sore, a blot
on our fair landscape. a:kennel for stray
dogs and loafing place for recreant
urchins, or shall We put it to some
practical use?
The good ladies of the town recently
appeared before the City Council, so
we are informed, and asked to be given
the supervision of this Park. They
have some money at their command,
which was raised for the purpose of
identifying the public square, and we
understand there is an order upon the
books of the city council appropriating
a supplementary sum for the purpose
of identifying the park, We have no
doubt that the ladies' could raise ar adj
ditiOnal amount, they never vet tried
to raise funds and failed, and We are
confident that in this instance they
would be able to raise a sufficient
amount to place the Park in good con-
dition, and We now suggest that the
Park be turned over to them. and as
we have before said in these columns,
they will proceed to make of it "a
thing of beauty and Joy forever.
