an outburst of laughter
"I haven't seen you looking so well
physically in thirty years." Mr.. Bridges
told the President-elect. You seem more
robust than ever"
The weather was chilly, and the spec
tators stamped their feet to keep warm.
The President-elect stamped with the
rest, and he likewise bent the front brim
of his felt hat down over his face, stu
dent fashion, to battle with the cold wind.
A few seats away sat Miss Jessie Wilson
and Miss Eleanor Wilson, his daughters,
escorted by two university students. VINO
Interrupted their conversation every few
minutes to join in the yells called for by
the cheer leaders.
AS the Presdent-elect walked from the
field the members of the New York Uni
yersity football team gave him cheer'
and then came over individually to shake
hands with him. Chairman McComos
walked home with the President-elect.

To Hear Speakership Dispute
On Tuesday Governor Wilson will go to
the State House at Trenton and, after
attending TO routine work, he Will go to
the State Home for Girls to help dedicate
a new building there, which Will be
named the Wilson cottage. II Is Gus
tomary TO name new building Ia this
institution for the Governor. Whiie at
the State House. however, Governor VII
son will probably have his hands full
listening TO the claims OF the various
aspirants for the speakership OF the AS
sembly and other legislative patronage.
The coming Legislature Is the first one
in a good many years that has been DEM
ocratic in both branches, and the number
of faithful seeking recognition Is enor-
nous. The President-elect will also PROB
ably discover that ex-United States SEN
ator James Smith, jr., is not In the down
and out" class as he supposed, and that
instead he will be found at his old tricks
of stirring up mischief among the law
makers.
While It is true that the Legislature is
Democratic without the twelve Essex AS
semblymen controlled by Smith, the lat
ter's influence extends to Hudson ana
three or four other counties, and If Smith
so desires, he can stir up considerable
trouble

LEGLEss MYSTERY DEAD.
Nova Scotan Landed on Beach by I'm.
known Vessel Ends Lilo.

Digny, N. S., April 24.-Death finally
has claimed "Gerome," legless and
silent foreigner Of mystery. who was
found marooned on the beach at Mink
Cove in 1868. During nearly half a
century the man had steadfastly re-
fused to divulge the secret Of his iden-
tity, his nationality or the reason OF
his abandonment by strange vessel.
Declining to talk, work, read or even
look at pictures, "Gerome" spent his
last days ward Of the government.
One afternoon in August, 1863, two
men saw an unknown schooner tack
into the harbor. A boat was lowered
over the vessels side. The fishermen
thought nothing Of the incident. The
next day man was found in a dory
on the shelving beach. A bottle Of
water and a package Of sea biscuit
were within his reach in the boat. The
mans legs had been very recently
severed and the wounds were still
fresh, the work having been done ap.
parently by q skilful surgeon. When
spoken to, he moaned, almost unin-
telligibly "Gerome." Nothing more
could be extorted from him and his
silence was never broken.

Ismay Was Excited.

Washington, April rs. - ]. Bruce
1smey, the chief official Of the steam
ship line which owned the Inflated
Titanic, was ordered away from one
of the ships lifeboats while 1t was
being lowered because in his excite
ment he was interfering with the
ships officers.
Language too Objectionable to be re-
peated aloud in the senate inquiry into
the Titanic disaster was used by Har-
old G. Lowe. the fifth officer Of the
ship.
Lowe dramatically recited to the
senate investigating committee how
he, not knowing he was talking to
4 the head Of the company which en-
ployed him, had told Ismay to get to
hell out Of here 80 that can work"
while Lowe and other sailors were
trying to lower the first lifeboat on
the starboard side Of the Titanic.

HORRIBLE MASSACRE At FEz
FIGHT MOB WITH BUT ONE RE

ties Against Murderous
Arab Rebels.

Paris, April 24.-The massacre Of
Fee, in which q large number OF
French officers, soldiers and citizens
were killed and wounded, has given
rise to much criticism of the govern
ment authority for not foreseeing and
preventing the occurrence. 1t is
pointed out by the newspapers that the
French troops occupied the Moroccan
capital more than year ago.
Premier Poincare telegraphed to
Eugene Regnault, the French minister,
to make complete investigation Of
the outbreak.
The special correspondents Of the
French newspapers at Fee indicate that
the plot of tho rebels included the
massacre of the whole of the French
mission headed by M. Rcgnault. which
recently arrived at the capital to
establish the protectorate This plan
failed owing to the Impotence of the
Arabian women to begin the carnage.
These women are described by the
correspondents as creatures Of terrify-
Ing appearance, who passed their time
In rushing about the streets and tor
turing the wounded and sometimes
aiding the Moorish rebels in the final
mutilation and desecration of the vic
Tins.
Scenes of awful horror occurred in
the Jewish quarter of the city, where
the mob murdered. pillaged and
burned all the jews they could find,
throwing their bodies from the roofs
Three fourths of the houses were en-
tirely destroyed, rendering more than
1000 people homeless.
The complete story of the death Of
the telegraphers is a narrative OF
GOODNESS and bravery and the news
papers are comparing their devotion
to duty with that Of the wireless
operators on the Titanic. Although
they possessed only one revolver
between them, they kept the mob at
bay for q long time, killing sixteen
Of the fanatics. All the time one or
| the other of them was sending off dis
patches to headquarters at Tangier,
telling Of the plight of the city. Fin
ally, however, the Arabs tore hole
In the roof into which they sent a
murderous fire and flaming torches,
which set fire to the telegraph room.
Three Of the telegraphers fell dead
and the fourth turned his revolver on
himself rather than fall living into the
hands Of the Moors. The shot missed
and he was later able to escape from
the burning building.

TROUBLE on THE OLYMPIC

Walk Out Five Minutes Before Sailing

Southampton, April 25.-Three hun
dred of the firemen and greasers be-
longing to the crew of the Olympic

Star liner was due to sail for New
York. The men deserted the ship in q
body. They gave as their reason for
striking that the collapsible lifeboats
installed on the vessel were unsea.

A deputation of men employed in the
engine room OF the Olympic waited on
the officers of the ship and on Com
mander Clarke, the chief of the emil
grafton Office in Southampton, to
whom they declared that the collapse
BILE craft on the Olympic were fiimsy
They refused to sail unless wooden
lifeboats were substituted for the COL
lapsible ones and also demanded that
two additional seamen be signed, one
for each boat.
Commander Clarke argued with the
men, explaining that it was impossible
to secure wooden lifeboats in time.
He assured them he previously had
olASio11J CACl14lllcO luC
boats and was satisfied with them.
Commander Clarke offered to take
the Olympic to the Cowes Roads and
allow any of the crew to select boat
or boats on board, and he would prove
by demonstration they were absolutely
safe. The men refused to be con.
WINGED and left the ship in a body.
They attempted to get all the seamen
also to leave the liner, but this move
was checkmated by the White Star
officials, who removed all the gang
ways.
By pressing into service all the
available engine room hands on the
White Star and American liners in
port the Olympic was able to leave
dock just before p. m. and proceed
down Southampton water, where she
awaits fresh aggregation of firemen
and greasers.
One of the strikers alleged he put
his thumb through the canvas of one
of the new collapsible boats. The
White Star officials declared the re.
quisite complement of firemen, greas
ers and crew is abroad the Olympic
and that the vessel will shortly pro-
coed on her voyage.
The Olympic has 1,400 passengers
on board.

Rome, April at was officially an

Major Peuchen Of Canada, Crltlclses

Crew Were Unframed
and Undrliled.

Washington, April 24.-The failure
to provide binoculars or spy glasses
for the lookouts on the Titanic was
one contributing cause Of that ships
loss and with it, the loss of more than
1900 lives.
Two witnesses before the senate In.
vestigation committee agreed on this.
They were Frederick Fleet, lookout
on the liner and Major Arthur God
frey Peuchen, Canadian manufacturer
and yatchsman. who was among the
rescued passengers.
Fleet acknowledged that If he had
been aided in his observations by
good glass he probably could have
spied the berg into which the ship
crashed in time to have warned the
bridge in time to avoid it. Major
Peuchen also testified to the much
greater sweep Of vision afforded by
binoculars and. as a yatchsman. said
he believed the presence of the Ice
berg might have been detected in
time to escape the collision had the
lookout men been so equipped.
1t was made to appear that the
blame for being without glasses did
not rest with the lookout man. Fleet
said they had asked for them at
Southampton and were told there was
none for them. One glass would have
served in the crows nest.
crltIcIses Methods.
Major Peuchen criticised in strong
terms the lack Of experienced sailors
on board the Titanic. He said when
the call to quarters was sounded not
enough OF the crew responded to un-
dertake the work required in lowering
and filling the boats. Furthermore no
said, no drills had been held from the
time the ship left Southampton. al
though 1t was customary to hold such
drills every Sunday.
Herbert ]. Pittman, third officer OF
the Titanic, told of his failure to turn
back the lifeboat in which he and his
passengers were idly drifting, to at
tempt the rescue of others when the
Titanic went down.
Shuddering at the recollection, he
said the cries for help made "one long,
continuous moan" The passengers in
sisted that to go back to aid would
mean their destruction, he said, SO
that after starting in the direction Of
the cries, he rescinded his orders and
waited for the dawn. Twice he begged
to be spared recital Of the facts.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, April 25.-1owa
Republicans declared their allegiance
to President Taft. In doing so, they
directly rejected Senator Cummins,
old time progressive leader of the
state, and by inference showed their
opposition to the third term candid
ncy of the former president. When
the final vote was taken it showed
that Taft slate of delegates had 7e1
delegates, while the Cummins dele.
gates could only muster 724.
As result, President Taft will
have the four delegates at large and
already has the delegates from the

votes from the state to ten for Sen.

ed the mention OF names of Taft,
Roosevelt and Cummins. After the
convention adjourned all Of the Taft
standards nd banners were torn down
and paraded In front of a brass band

Colonel Roosevelt carried only three
counties In Iowa, although he made
no fight. These he released so they

not enough to turn the tide.
Local Conditions Enter.
Local conditions entered into tho
situation. The old regular faction.
headed by La Toilette Young. always
opposed Cummins and were found In
the opposition this time. Senator
Kenyon. the prosecutor of I.orimer,
even more ardently progressive than
the senior senator, early declared for
Taft Senator Kenyon had been con-
nected with the department of Justice
and voiced OF his own knowledge the
absolute sincerity and fearlessness
with which the president had entered
into the enforcement of the Sherman
antitrust law.
When Cummins declared his candt
ducy, Senator Kenyon decided to sup

not carry his friends with him.
