HARMONY
~ LIN OkUlll
Vertrees Committee Joins in With
the Editors For Re-
Organization.

The Editors plan tor harmony has
apparently won the day over the oppo-
sition of Major Vetrees and a few of
his lieutenants, for in meeting of the
committee held last Friday the prima-
ry plan was repudiated and thirteen
members of the regular Vertrees COM
mittee agreed to join with the Indepen-
dents in the reorganization ofthe state
committee. The Vertrees element did
not die without fight, and in fact are
still kicking, but they were overruled
by a majority of 1876. The SIX, though
issued an address to the Democrats of
Tennessee and they propose to eject a
Democratic state committee of their
own.
; Old supporters of Former Governor
Patterson dominated the committee
five of the important proxies being
held by Patterson lleutenants.
r. B.Hlckey member of the commit
tee from this place attended and voted
with the Vertrees people to the last.
The resolution endorsing the harmo.
ny plan of the editors was presented by
Committeeman Helm of Morristown.
1t is as follows;
"Whereas, at a conference of the
Democrat editors of Tennessee and of
other representative Democrats in
Nashville on March %, a resolution
was adopted recommending and SUBJ
hitting to the members of this COM
mittee and the Barton Committee a
plan providing for convention to
nominate judicial candidates, Presiden-
tai electors, delegates to the National
Convection and new Executive COM
mittee.
"And whereas, the said plan so rec
commended has been agreed to and ac-
cepted by majority of the members
OF both said BARTON and this committee.
'"Therefore, be it resolved by the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, That the plan above mentioned be,
and the same is hereby, ratified, ap-
proved and adopted by this commit
tee.
"And whereas, this committee, at
meetings on January 16 and March g.,
by resolution adopted and promulgated
a plan providing for convention and
a primary, and called such convention
and primary, and constituted Pri-
mary Board for carrying said plan into
effect.
"Therefore, be it resolved, That this
committee does hereby reconsider said
resolution calling said primary and
convention and rescend said action,
and revOkes the said call for said pri-
mary and convention, and does hereby
recall and revoke the authority by said
resolution vested in said Primary
Board and the said primary is hereby
discharged"

MAMMOTH ship TITANIC SINKS
OVER 1900 LIVES WERE LOST

One of the most appalling disasters
in marine history occurred early Mon
day morning when the magnificent
vessel Titanic crashed into submerg-
ed iceburg. Indefinite reports state
that out of the POO passengers aboard
only 800 were rescued by the Carpathia
which is now enroute to New York
City. Scores of notable men were
making the voyage and the monetary
loss is estimated at SIS, 100000.
Of the remaining $40 known survi-
vors it is estimated that not more than
100 were seamen required to man the
boats. This would leave approximately
44O and in the ordinary proportions of
women and children in the steerage
where the passengers in the Titanic s
care numbered 10, it seems probable
that the greater part of these 44O were
women and their little ones.
Nothing could show more plainly the
heroism of the crew and the men pas,
sengers who stood by the doomed ship,
facing practically inevitable death and
sent the women and children away in
the lifeboats. Some would have to be
left; that was certainty. Hundreds in
fact were left. But to all appearance
the men who were left stayed behind
deliberately calmly stepping aside to
let the weaker ones, those TO whom
they owed their protection take
their way to safety.
"Sinking by the head. Have cleared
he boats and filled them with women
and children.
This was the final message these
brave men sent the world for it was
directly afterward that their wireless
signals sputtered and stopped alto
geather. The picture inevitably that
presents itself In view of what is known
is of men like John Jacob Astor, master
of scores of millions; Benjamin Guggen-
hiem of the famous family of bankers;
Isidoa Straus, merchant prince; Will
liam 7. Stead, veteran journalist;
Major Archibald Butt, soldier: Wash
ington Roebling, noted engineer-of
any or all of these men stepping aside
and bravely, CALAMITY remaining to
die that the place he otherwise might
have filled could perhaps be taken by
some sabot-shod, shawl-enshrouded
illiterate and penniless peasant women
of Europe.
Thus the stream OF " omen with tod,
ding infants or babes in the arms, per-
haps most CT them soon to be widowed,
filed up from the cabins and over the
side and away to life.
The men-by far the greater part of
to die, millionaire and
peasant and man of middle class alike,
bravely, it must have been, sharing
each others fate and going down to a
common grave.

BROTHER AND SISTER
WED THROUGH MISTAKE

Cincinnati, Ohio, April ia
strange story which resulted in John
r. Ruch, Jr., age % years, being di-
vorced from his half sister, Helen
Hoffman Ruch; age "a, was related in
the insolvency court here today. The
half brother and sister were married
October %, 1910, neither at the time
knowing of the blood relationship be-
tween them. The discovery of the re-
iation was discovered few weeks ago
and the action for a divorce followed.
1t was explained to the court that
the mistake had been made possible
because of the fact that the mother
for a private reason, had hidden from
the children the fact of their relation
ship, allowing them to believe that 'he
girl was only an adopted child.
The husband was given the custody
of the two children.
The petition for divorce, filed by the
husband, was upon the formal ground
of neglect. The divorce was granted
upon that ground to protect the young
couple who were not in court when
the hearing was held.
The relationship of the Ruchs was
disclosed to the young husband and
wife by Judge Williams I.ueders' OF
Probate Court a few weeks ago in the
presence of their mother, Mrs. John
r. Ruch. Neighbors of the Ruch fam
ily informed Judge Lueders that they
believed the couple. were half-brother
and half-sister. He learned after in
vesttigation that the two had grown
up together under the belief that the
girl was only an adopted daughter OF
Mrs. Ruch. The youngest of their
children is only few weeks old.
In securing the marriage license
Ruch gave the young woman's name
as Helen Hoffman.
"This young man came to the Pro-
bate Court in 1910 and secured license
TO marry this young woman who ii
since has been discovered is his sister"
said Judge Lueders to the court.
81 have investigated the matter care
fully, and feel certain that he did not
know at that time that this young wo-
man is his sister. The discovery was not
made until comparatively short time
ago. had them in my office and we
tried to arrive at some solution for the
problem presented.
They have two children. They still
love each other and love their children.
Iexplained to them that although
they may be able to keep the secret for
years, there will come time as surely
as anything human can be certain
when some one will >have discovered 1t
and it will be exposed possible in their
declining years. Or If the disclosure
were to come not until after their death
it would be left as heritage to their
children.
Now they can come into court hon
estly to explain an honest mistake, and
do the only thing in their power to rec
ufy that mistake.

Lieutenant r, T. Ballard, repre-
senting the Miller-Addison Company,
will be at the Menk's pharmacy, at
106 Market street. Saturday to in
troduce the wonderful tissue builder.
Vim Hepatica, in liquid form. He
says:
II will be pleased to meet the pub

5 D. m. and explain the action of the
medicine to all who call on me. L
will. attempt to show that the new
formula will prove its remarkable
properties within a few minutes.
"On Saturday l will give a free trial
of Vim Hepatica to the first 100 call
ers whose symptoms are irregular
appetite, poor digestion, backache.
constipation, poor memory, YOU
ness. headache and a general low
state Of health, all of which can be
traced to a catarrhal condition of the
inner lining of the body, and properly
called the mucous membrane. When
such conditions exist Vim Hepatica
acts with remarkable quickness.
1T is a well-known fact that a
large percentage of the population OF
the United States are subject to dis
eases OF the mucou membrane. To
them the new formula cannot be too
highly recommended. 1t has been
used with good results after every
thing else had failed to do the work"
As a soldier and citizen Lieutenant
Ballard radiates the finest qualities
of sterling manhood. Six feet two
inches tall, of blond complexion. his
is a happy, sociable nature that de-
velops the confidence of true friend
ship wherever he goes. For every
one he meets he has q pleasant smile.
and when things appear gloomy to
those around him he is as bright and
cheerful as the advance agent of
sunshine and fair weather. To his
eyes every cloud has its silver lining.
Lieutenant Ballard is best known
as a gallant officer of the 32nd IT s
Volunteers, who gained a reputation
for fearless bravery during the
Spanish-American War. Because az
his admirable personality as a gentle
man, and courageous leadership as 4

Mems Hats that
Look Right

Fitting heads is an easy
matter. Fitting features is
quite another thing. You
can drop in any hat store
and readily find your size, but
not necessarily the hat that looks
right. Here you will find every
style, every shape-every little
difference in the curve Of brim
or height of crowns exempli-
fled in our hat stocks. And
prices are just as varied. There's
the "Elbeco" line at two dollars,
which is unequaled at the price.
Cushion Flex" are the best
hats obtainable at 800, while
there are velours from Vienna
at 500 and 600, and any guam
tity of others at the price you
care to pay. Come Saturday and
have your features fitted in a
good hat. 4
