DANIEL X. PEARSONS,
PhiIanthropist.

began giving money away to needy
colleges in 1888 and in sums ranging
from $4,000 to $495,000 disposed of
more than 100000 His last gift, he
said, left him comparatively poor with
an income sufficient to keep him from
want. His death defeated his often
expressed expectation that he would
live 100 years. Recently he sold out
his home to go to the sanatorium.
The value of the home and an endow-
ment were given for a public library
to Hinsdale, ILL.,, his place of resi-
dence.
DR.. Pearsons was born in Bradford,
VT. He began practicing medicine in
1912. Coming to Illinois in 1857, he
made a fortune in buying and selling
Illinois farm lands. He was a Chi
cago alderman in 1875. His first not
able gift was 100000 to Beloit col
lege (Wisconsin). He gave Beloit in
all 100000.
Other donations by him we're:

S2S0,000.
Mt. Holyoke, $150,000.
Wooster university, 800, 900.

Mr.. Ismay claims, according to re-
ports, that he took the last life boat"
cried Senator Rayner. Il do not be-
lieve it and if he did it was cowardly
to take any life boat for the manag-
ing director of the line, with his board,
is criminally responsible for this ap.
palling tragedy.
Officers Would Be Indicted.
IF this had happened on an Ameri.
can vessel there would be no question
that an indictment would be found
and If the facts We're sustained, the
officers of the company could be con.
victed of manslaughter If not of muir.
der because the evidence is clear that
the vessel was not properly equipped
with efficient life saving apparatus.
Il have not the slightest doubt that
the northern route was taken in ODE.
dience to Nh. Ismay's direct orders
and that with full warning, he .risked
the life of his entire ship to make a
speedy passage.
Il care not what are the rules Of
the English admiralty. Here you have
the spectacle Of the head of the line
failing to see that his ship was equip

tus, needless of the warning that he
was sailing in q dangerous sea, for
saking his vessel and permitting 1900
of her passengers and crew to be swal
lowed by the sea. The martyrdom
and the agonies Of separation that
took place IN board the sinking ship
are too fearful for the mind to dwell
upon and contemplate, but Mr.. Ismay,
the officer primarily responsible for
the whole disaster, has reached his
destination in safety and unframed.
Fix Responsibility.
mo legislation can bring back to
earth a single life lost upon that fatal
night. What we can do is to help to
fix the responsibility if possible and
rely upon British justice to bring to
bay the guilty directorate of this CON-
pany.
"All civilized nations will applaud
the criminal prosecution of the man.
agement of this line. If they can be
made to suffer no sympathy will go
out for them and If it does, Il will be
submerged in the overwhelming lamen.
tation that today re-echoes throughout
the civilized world, for the victims of
their culpable carelessness-a reck.
lessness that sem hundreds of their
fellow beings into eternity, desolating
homes and fresides and turned this
land into a house of mourning.
In this hour of our calamity we
appeal to the majesty of the law to
deal out ~retributory justice to this
guilty company to the last degree"
Tive more bills framed on the les
son drawn from the Titanic disaster
were introduced in the house. One of

Representative Parran of Maryland
