Both Mistreated by Roosevelt.

From the Kansas City Journal:

any very high admiration for each
other, but there is one bond of SYM.

outrageously mistreated by the same
man.

INACTIVITY DEFEATS.

On every hand you hear the re-
mark, LET us have the commission
form of government" Well, ladies
and gentlemen, you can have the
commission form if you want it. Tell
every man and woman that you meet
that you want it. Tell them we are
going to have it. Have them tell ev-
erybody they meet to come out to the
meeting at the court house tomorrow
night. Many of these much needed re-
forms in government are lost not be-
cause of the active opposition to them
but because of the inactivity of many
OF our citizens who are really in favor
of them. We can't blame any one who
is honestly opposed to a change for
working that way, but we do insist
that the majority of the Durango peo-
pie are in favor of change. Then
let us have good charter offered for
adoption.

captain of the Carpathia replied by
wireless, said everything was all right
on board and had enough provisions
to reach New York, which he expect
ed would be late tonight or early Fri
day morning. The captain of the
Carpathia, by wireless, said:

ROME, April 1S.-Nathan Straus is

recovery are entertained. Mr.. Straus
collapsed today when he learned that
his brother Isidore was among the
missing on the Titanic's passenger list.
Physicians were summoned immedi-
ately. They reported his condition as
grave. Nathan Straus with Mrs.
Straus sailed from New York last
August as representative of the
United States government to the In
ternational Congress for the Protec-
tion of Infants. He was the only
delegate to the congress from the
United States. He was selected by
President Taft because of his signal

the earlier morning editions a flood
of alleged wireless messages were re-
ceived. They reported that all the
passengers had been saved, that the
Titanic was proceeding under her own
steam to Halifax, that she could not
possibly sink, that twenty boatloads
of passengers had been transferred
to the Partisan, that the Partisan and
the Carpathia both were in attend
ance, that the Virginian was towing
the Titanic toward Cape Race to beach
her.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-The Car
pathia has sent ashore the names of
125 third-class passengers and has
requested the White Star line to send
ships, officers and fourteen sailors on
two tugs to take charge of the thir-
teen Titanic life boats at quarantine.
This should indicate only thirteen Ii
| tanic life boats had been found avail
able for rescue work instead of TWEEN
ty life boats as had been approxi-
mated.
All hope has been given up that
Colonel John Jacob Astor, Isadore
Straus, Benjamin Guggenheim, Geo.
d. Widener, Major Archibald Butte,
military aid to President Taft, Henry
B. Harris, the theatrical manager, and
Charles M. Hays, president of the
Grand Trunk railway, have been saw
ed. The Carpathia's wireless opera
tor sent word this morning that Col
onel Astor is not on the Carpathia.
He did not know whether Benjamin
Guggenheim or Major Butt were
aboard.
The navy department at Washing
ton gave out dispatch sent by the
United States steamship Salem, at 8
o'clock, corroborating the numerous
dispatches, declaring the Carpathia
has declined to answer any messages
Of inquiry although sometimes ac-
knowledging calls. The message made
remarkable time, having been received
in Washington ten minutes after its
dispatch from the Salem. 1t follows
"U. S. S. Salem, a. m.-Can get
no information from Carpathia of any
kind although she is within easy range
os communication. She sometimes ac-
knowledges calls but will not admit
receipt of messages or make reply

is within easy range of the torpedo

Durangoites certainly appear to be
possessed with a suicidal mania. At
least seven suicides have occurred
within short time. After the first,
and especially after the second, the
knowing ones said there would have

so, however, as our people continue to

this connection the person who COM

good deal of nerve. 1t takes courage
to put a six-shooter to your head and
pull the trigger for entry into the

it is certain kind of insanity which

NEW YORK, April 18.-While all
waited in suspense today for the ar
rival of the Carpathia, bearing to
shore those rescued from the doomed
Titanic, the report became current
that j.. Bruce Ismay, managing direc-
tor of the White Star line, has ar
ranged by wireless code with New
York Offices of his company to delay
the sailing of the Cedric until the
Carpathia gets into port that he may
return to England without setting
foot on United States soil. If such
are his plans they are frustrated as
the White Star offices announce that
the Cedric sailed today as per sched-
ule. Unless the Cedric should meet
the Carpathia and take lsmay on
board that gentleman may be forced
to face music in the glorious United
States Of America.
Ismay was one of the first to es-
cape from the Titanic. Along with the
women and children to whom the
right of way is given by the unwritten
maritime law, the high official of the
steamship line made his way to safety,
The Cedric is scheduled to sail for
Liverpool today and if Ismay is miss
ed he would not be able to get away
until Saturday. Around the White
Star line office it is said he is anx-
ious to get back to London to report
to the board of directors.
A more plausible reason for the
order given by Ismay that he is anx-
ious to escape the service of a sub
poena requiring him to appear before
the house committee on merchant ma
rine affairs to testify concerning the
number of lifeboats carried by the I'll
tanic.

Burlington police bad few hours. He
was found near the union depot suffer
ing from couple Of severe cuts on his
head and told story of three men
jumping upon him and after beating

story, to complete a real estate deal.
He was returning to his home weth
$4,000 distributed in various pockets
in his clothing, when he was assault
