"Hiawatha"

Those who saw the Indians play Bia- watha Monday night must have told their friends as the audience was more than doubled last night. The actors are so completely in accord with their parts that the spectator forgets he is looking at a performance and feels he is seeing a real Hiawatha and a real Minnehaha. Many of those present spoke of the charm of the presentation in the form of a masque The voice of the hidden narrator seems to come floating through the hills while the eyes of the listener are held by the dra- matic pictures.
 The baby Hiawatha is one of the most Interesting features of the play, as he binks at the bright lights thrown upor him, and Old Nakomis Is veritable grandmother, having three of her grand children in the play.
 There was so much enthusiasm las night it is safe to predict that every seat will be taken tonight, and they should be It is a splendid performance given for [ worthy cause.

Discusses Causes
 Discussing the causes of the disas- ter the senator said;
 Tt seems to be universally conceded that this ship was not equipped with a sufficient number of lifeboats to provide for the safety of it's passen- gers There may have been a suf- ficient number in accordance with the rules of the British board of trade. but 1t Is a conceded fact that the great loss of life occurred because there was an insufficient number to meet the necessities of the case and rescue the passengers and crew.
 The failure of foreign steamships to carry searchlights is utterly inex- cusable. and if a proper searchlight had been upon this vessel, In my judg- ment, the accident could have been avoided. The failure to supply the proper officers with binoculars was unquestionably an act of negligence, mony that demand had Teen made by the proper officers for them, and the demand had been refused.
 There was not the proper attention paid to the wireless messages that The ship received. This appears to me to have been an inexcusable act of neg ligence.
 'Ine speed or tne NeSSel was not lowered, as it should have been, when notice was received that she was in a dangerous zone. My own judgment, therefore, is that there was negligence in this case and that the disaster was attributable to the want of due care upon the part of the company and of those in charge of the ship The proper tribunals will determine upon this question unaffected by any conclusion that we may arrive at in the premises

lowing wireless operators to sell their stories should be stopped.
 Tt Is recommended that all ships carving more than 100 passengers have two searchlights: that a revision be made of steamship inspection laws of following methods of foreign nations. A new standard is proposed in the United States-that every ship be re- quired to carry sufficient lifeboats for all passengers and crew--that the use of wireless telegraphy be regulated to prevent interference by amateurs and that all ships have wireless operator on constant duty"

Asks for Better Laws

Senator Rayner urged legislation that would make the controlling of ficers of corporations criminally re- sponsible for the careless and negligent management of the corporations they control After a discussion of the present methods of corporation organ ization Senator Rayner said:
 There is another lesson that this disaster teaches us and which ought to be one of general application, and that is the lesson of corporate respon- sibility. We must enact legislation that will make the controlling and su- perior officers of corporations within our own Jurisdiction criminally re- sponsible for the careless and negli- gent management of the public service corporations which they control. l have made this suggestion over and over again, but I repeat 1t now in the most emphatic way that I can. that 1t is shame and an outrage that the criminal statutes of this land permit the men who are really responsible absolutely to escape from the penal ties of the law. and inf1ict penalties and punishments upon those who are

Recommendations Are Made
 Detailed recommendations are made as to water tight bulkhead should be so separated that any two adjacent compartments of ship might be float ed without sinking Transverse bulk heads forwards and abaft the maehin- cry should be continued water tight to the uppermost structural deck. This deck should be fitted water tight the report adds.
 The committee deems the course fol- lowed by Captain Rostron of the Car pathia as deserving of the highest praise and worthy of especial recogni- ton. His detailed instructions issued in anticipation of the rescue of the Iii tanic were marvels of systematic prep aration and completeness.
 Rayner Denounces Laws
 Discussing the Titanic disaster in the Senate today Senator Rayner of Mary land denounced the United States admiral ty and navigation laws as ''an incongru- ors collection of antiquated statutes, which should be repealed and re-enacted so as to meet the necessities of ocean in- tercourse of the present day. Senator Rayner dwelt at length on the 'lesson of religious faith" that the Titanic dis aster should have taught. and asserted that the country needs severe lessons that will strengthen the pillars and altars of it's faith
 On this point the senator said: We are to large extent today defying the ordinances of God, and the sooner we awaken to a realizing sense of our responsibility the better 1t will be for the spiritual elevation of the country We are running mad with the lust of wealth, and of power, and of ambition. We are separating so- eiety into casts, with fabulous for tunes upon the one side and destitu- tion and poverty on the other. It takes a terrible warming to bring us back to our moorings and our senses. We are abandoning the. devout and simple lives of our ancestors. and the fabric of our firesides Is weakening at I the foundation. If this disaster teaches no lesson or points no moral then let
 us pass it by with stoical indifference, | until the next disaster comes, and in 1 the meantime let the carnival go on. | May the heart rending scenes upon I this night of anguish and Of woe give us faith and lead us back to the altar of our fathers. I will not rehearse the agonies of this midnight sacrifice
 cannot afford to dwell upon them or listen to the details that almost dis tract the mind and break the heart It is the lesson and the moral that l
 am searching for"
