LONDON, June 1.-THE Board OF
Trade Inquiry into the Titanic disaster

ing Judge, intlmated his regret that the

to the rescue of the passengers Of the
Titanic, was oeyond his reach. Hs
said:
II do not suppose I have jurisdiction
20 direct that Capt. Lords certificate
should be dealt with. II I take a view
adverse to the conduct Of the captain
OF the Californian. all can do Is to ex.
press my opinion"
Sir Rufus Isaacs. the Attorney Gen
eral assented. but asked Lord Mersey
to express his views In regard to the
evidence on the subject OF the Califor-
MAN. Sir Rufus also remarked that the
conduct of Sir Cosrno and Lady Duff
Gordon was immaterial to the present
inquiry except as to the conduct Of q
Symond, the Titanic lookout who had
charge OF the lifeboat in which they
were rescued. and the suggestion which
appeared to lie beneath Fireman Charles
Hendrickson's statement about bribery
to prevent the lifeboat returning to the
sinking ship.
Lord Mersey expressed the opln!oi
that the question O: J. Bruce Ismay',
conduct was only material to the extent
to which Il might have influenced i'm
properly Capt. Smith of the Titanic.

ELECTRIC MAP is
NOW BEING PREPARED

Atlanta, Dec 12.-An electric map
of Georgia, showing all the tower
lines that are being strung in all parts
of the state is now in process Of pre-
paration, and will be one of the most
interesting documents in this common
wealth. 1t will be the first may of its
Kind ever made for Georgia
The necessity for such a map has
been made imperative by the enormous
development now under way. Steel
towers are being raised that will bear
hundreds Of thousands of horsepower
into every section, particularly in
! orth Georgia, and will reach localities
which have never had electric light or
power before.
The map of Georgia is being liter
ally re-made by the wonderful devel-
opment at Tallulah Falls. These tower
lines are the outposts and advance
guards of new age; industries and
towns will spring up along them, in
fact, are already being planned, just
as the line of development used to
follow the rails in early railroading
days.

Sir Thomas looks as If his tie
ought to be colonel. Six feet in height,
the picture of grizzled health, with
merry twinkle in his bright blue eyes,
aud faint touch of the Irish brogue
still lingering in his speech, he is in
ttrested in everything, friends with

Sir Thomas is a great business man
and is supposed to be intensely inter-
ested in the Panama canal delibera-
ton now in progress here, but he is
flank to admit that pretty girls and
Southern hospitality are more to his
taste than statistics about wholesale
business and export trade.

An examining physician for one of

the reason why so many applicants for

ney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large major
ity of applicants do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
He states that judging from his own
experience and reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch
with the public, there is one prepare
ton that has probably been more sue
cessful in relieving and curing these
diseases than any remedy known The
