cannot see why this should not be
true. especially IN the light Of the
experience OF the world with the ad-
vantageous effects of all large good
roads propositions Any and every
public improvement surely helps busi-
ness and property values.
Some people think there is some
thing back of this road project that
has not yet developed Well, l hope
there is, and that it is an electric rail-
way system. There is nothing that
would do US so much good as an
electric road, and you can rest as
sured that the people would jump at
II if they were given to understand
that an electric road was to be oper-
ated along the boulevard right of
way.
Il do not believe that, with the
boulevard a mile or a mile and a
quarter away, 1t would have very
great effect upon Frederica's business
life, but it would certainly benefit the
community, as whole to very ap-
preciable extent. The great majority
of the people want the road"

PARADISE LOST
M. C. Robbins.

That garden home. so full Of all that's
rare,
Twas thought no faint Of sin could
enter there,
But even there amid the fairest
The Serpent crept-all ready to de-
YOUR.
And tempt those sinless ones to dis
The edict to them given. and to them
Eat of that fruit-stretch forth thy
The edicts false; thou shall not surely
die.
Just look upon that fruit-that fruit
so fair
None in the garden can compare,
But just as soon as they its nectar
1t turned to dead sea-ashes on their
lips;
The scales fell from their eyes; they
And darkness fell about them like
pail
No longer could they in their Eden
dwell
Condemned Condemned fell on them
like a knell.
They heard their condemnation, oh
so sure;
They realized they we're no longer
pure;
Driven from Eden-aliens from their
home
Among a sin-cursed world now they
must roam,
Condemned TO die; to sleep along the
dead,
And even while living all must earn
their bread,
Because the Sin Of Adam will de-
scend
And follow all unto the bitter end.
Adam and Eve, so happy there alone,
But now they must for that one sin
atone.
For by the serpent they to sin we're
led,
But woman's seed shall bruise the
serpent's head.
Blessed Bethlehem's Babe it came to
save us all,
And by its blood redeem us from the
fall
For that He suffered-agony and pain
That cursed world might Paradise
regain.

LOCKED IN sTEERAGE TO DIE
Woman Says Four Were Shot to
Allow Women on Titanic
to Escape.

Kansas City, Missouri. - Mrs.
Latefe Bakelney of Shyere, Assyria, a
survivor of the Titanic disaster, who
came to Kansas City with her 2-year-
old son, on the way to Morencia, Ariz.,
and whose husband went down with
the ship, said:
when the crash came we in the
steerage could see readily the extent
of the damage and the shock seemed
severe. Some startd to rush for the
deck, but the doors had been locked
by the officers of the ship.
For an hour there was pandemon-
ium. There were numerous fights for
leading places at the door. Women be.
came hysterical. After an hour the
doors were opened and it was an
nounced that the women and children
were to be allowed on the deck to be
placed in the lifeboats.
Many cowardly men made a dash
for the door. | saw four shot. Then
the women and children walked over
their bodies to the upper decks. Again
the doors were bolted, leaving the men
to their fate.
"As the ship sank I pulled my shawl
over my eyes and held my fingers to
my ears. The cries for help were
heart-piercing."

Shea.
The sea is strewn for miles with
bodies of victims, according to the
dispatch, but the captain of the Mac
k~ay-Bennett expressed the belief that
a majority of the lost would never
come to the surface. The wireless
read:
Bodies are numerous in latitude
41:35 north, longitude 4S:37 west, ex-
tending many miles east and west,
Mail ships should give this a wide
berth. Medical opinion is that death
has been instantaneous in all cases,
owing to exposure when bodies were
drawn down in vortex. Drifting in
dense fog since noon yesterday. Total
up 205. We brought way all
embalming fluid in Halifax, enough
for 70. With a weeks fine weather
think we would pretty well clean up
the relics of the disaster. 1t is my
opinion that the majority will never
come to the surface"

bail Pearsons, go years old, who in
recent years gave more than S., 00O, 900
to small colleges, chiefly in the Mid
die West, died in a sanitarium, COM
paratively a poor man.
Pneumonia, with complications due
to old age, was the cause. For sew
eral days he had been sinking, a pa
tient in an institution where he main
tanned himself in an income of SIS, 900
a year paid him by a college to which
he had contributed $250,000 on the
condition that he would be given two
per cent of that amount for the re-
mainder of his life.
DR.. Pearsons once declared that
giving away money rs a greaver sport
than baseball and more fun than any
other form of entertainment" He be-
gan giving money to needy colleges
in 1888, and in sums ranging from
$4,000 to $495, 900 disposed of more
than $5,000,000. His gifts left him
comparatively poor.
His death defeated his often ex-
pressed expectation that he would live
100 years. Recently he sold his home
to go to the sanitarium. The value of
a hotel and an endowment were given
for a public library to Hinsdale, ILL.,,
his place of residence. At the age Of
81 DR.. Pearsons gave up a lifelong use
of tobacco. making a remuneration for
conscientious reasons
DR.. Pearsons was born in Bradford.

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 nota-
BILE gift was 100000 to Beloit Col
lege (Wisconsin). He gave Beloit
100000 on condition that an amount
equal to his should be provided by
others.
None of the rich colleges will get
my money" he often said, "Only't the
poor ones-the obscure struggling
oness up in the mountains or out in
the woods where the boy or girl, liv-
ing out at nowhere, may get an edu-
cation"

Washington, D. C.-Whether OF
not Capt. E. j. Smith and other or
ficers of the lost liner Titanic were
attending a hilarious dinner party as
the guests of millionaire passengers
on the night the vessel struck and
foundered, is expected to be brought
out early next week at the senate in.
vestigation of the disaster. Two pas
Sengers were summoned as witnesses,
and it is said they will be questioned
as to this phase Of the disaster.
The story of the dinner party was
told in newspaper interviews purport-
ed to have been with Maj. Peuchen of
Toronto, a Titanic passenger. Later
Maj. Peuchen repudiated any state
ment containing charges against Capt,
Smith.
New laws requiring wireless opera
tors on ships to be on duty every min
ute, day and night; fixing stringent
qualifications to secur mature men
with Judgment, and changing the sys-
tenn of their employment and supervi-
sion, will be the first and immediate
result of the senate Titanic inquiry,
Senator William Alden Smith says.

Senator Smith cited the testimony of
Operator Evans of the seatmer Cali

from the Titanic when it's &C. @. D."

asked for details of the Titanic's trou-
BILE.
Smith promised a sensation later re-
garding the testimony of Vice-Presi-
dent Franklin of the White Star Line.
II can't say what it will be, but fur
Their testimony will have an important
bearing upon Franklin's evidence re-
garding his receipt of the news of the
disaster" Smith said.
Persistent rumors in the committee
room are that documentary evidence
will be presented in an effort to refute
Franklin's statement that the White
Star Line did not censor news and had
no authentic information regarding the
Titanic's loss until $50 p. m. Monday,
April 15.
"Phantom Ship" Inquiry Resumed.
The committee resumed it's inquiry
into the story OF the phantom ship"
whose lights were seen by many sail
ors and most of the surviving officers
of the Titanic, rs well as many pas
sengers in the lifeboats. Capt. ]. H.
Moore of the Canadian Pacific steamer
Mount Temple was expected to arrive
this afternoon. His vessel is believed
to have been only five miles from the
sinking Titanic.
Smith and his, colleagues said the
identity of the ghost ship" is not yet
completely established, despite the
strong presumption of certain witness
es that it was the California. They
say the testimony of Ernest Gill, don
keyman Of the California, that he saw
distress rockets of the Titanic at a
distance of about 10 miles, is some
what discredited by alleged sale of the

How Old Was He?

In a country school the boys of q
certain grade were devoted to their
teacher, a young lady Of many charms.
One little fellow Of rather uncertain
age was constantly proving his devo-
ton by little acts of kindness, which
did not escape the notice Of the teach
er. Coming up to him one day she
put an arm about his shoulders and
said: Il believe I will kiss you for
being so good to me, but how old are
you?"
"Oh, that's all right" he said, IL
am old enough to enjoy it."-Mack's
