Harold Lowe, the fifth officer of the
Titanic, was then called to the stann.
He told of his sea experience from the
time he ran away from home, at the
age of IA years, till he was sent TO the
Titanic from another White Star boat.
He told how he, Boxhall, the fourth
officer, and others had examined the
lifeboats on the starboard side before
sailing from Southampton. Everything
necessary, including food, was in the
starboards, which were the odd NUM-
bered ones from to IS. Oars and
everything were in their places. he

300 Members of Crew
Walk Out as Titanic's
Sister Ship Is About
to Sail.
WANT WOODEN INSTEAD
OF COLLAPSIBLE BOATS
Five Minutes Before Scheduled
Departure Time Men Give No
tice to Captain, Who VainIy
Argues With Them to Stay.

SOUTHAMPTON. April 24-Three
hundred of the firemen and greas-
ers belonging to the crew of
the Olympic went on strike five
minutes before the big White Star liner
was due to sail. The men walked out
in body. The reason for striking was
the contention that the oollapsible life
boats on board were unseaworthy.
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 emf
grafton Office in Southampton, to whom
they declared that the coiIapsible craft
on the Olympic were fiimsy.
They refused to sail unless wooden
lifeboats were substituted for the coll
lapsible ones, and also, demanded that
two additional seamen be signed on
for each boat,
Commander Clarke argued with the
men. explaining that it was impossible
to procure wooden lifeboats in time
He assured them that her had
previously officially examined all the
collapsible boats ana was perfectly
satisfied with them.
Commander Clarke offered to take the
Olympic to the Cowes Roads and allow
any of the crew to select amy boat or
boats on board and he would prove by
demonstration that they were absolute
ly safe. The men refused to be con-
WINGED and left the ship IN body
They attempted to get all the seamen
also to leave the liner. but this move
was checkmated by the White Star off,
cials.. who removed all the gangways.
BY pressing into service all the avail
able engine room hands on the White
Star and American liners in port the
Olympic was able to leave dock just
before 2 o'clock this afternoon and pro-
ceed down Southampton water. where
she awaits fresh batch Of firemen and
greasers.
One of the strikers alleged that he
put his thumb through the canvas OF
one of the new collapsible boats.
The White Star officials declared that
the requisite complement of firemen.
greasers and crew is aboard the Olym-
pic. and that the vessel Will shortly
proceed on her voyage
The Olympic has i.2oo passengers on
board.

Senator Fletcher got the witness to
repeat that he had glasses on the trip
of the Titanic from Belfast to South
ampton. Mr.. Fletcher also drew from
the witness that when he sounded the
danger signal the Titanic was veered
TO violently in an effort to avoid tho
black object dead ahead. which Fleet
then did not know was an iceberg
He had no Idea of the dimensions OF

about fifty feet out of the water.

militia officer. who testified yester-
day of the cowardice of Quartermaster
Hichen. who refused to return to the
Titanic for more passengers when sig

on the stand yesterday that this boat
held twenty three persons. twenty of
whom were women.
Chairman Smith questioned the wit

ter Hichens. He confirmed the story
told by Major Peuchen. He said that
Hichens never moved from the tiller,
and that two women had to help ham
die the oars. The stowaway who
emerged mysteriously from the life
boat was useless. he said.

Much of the nervousness, worri-
ment and bad temper that we see ev'
cry day among our friends is due to
weakened kidneys.
Good kidneys drive a large amount
of uric products out OF the body
every day. Uric acid is very irritat-
ing, and when in excess, it attacks
the weakest parts first.
Nerve troubles are more common
than in Years gone by. Civilization
has brought a heavier strain on the
Brain and nerves. The nervous sys-
TEN offers less resistance to attacks
of uric acid,
Nothing can cause more unhappi-
ness than fits of temper blues" the
inclination 10 worry over trifles, to
suspect ones friend and TO see the
worst side of everything. Nervous
ness is so easily misunderstood that
many a kidney sufferer drifts to the
very verge of nervous collapse with
out realizing the cause of it.
Here is the clIe: If your nerve
troubles are due to kidney weakness,
you are likely at the same time to
have backache. or frequent, painful
passages OF the kidney secretions,
diZZy spells. headache or rheumatic
or neuralgic pain.

AMERICANS WARNED
TO CROSS BORDER
OR JOIN THE REBEL FORCES OF
OROzCo WHO SAYS FURTHER
PROTECTION is WITHDRAWN

Jaurez, Mex, Aug. 6.-General Pas
cual Orozco served notice today on
the residents of Jaurez that after to-
night he would not be responsible for
the safety of the city and that all
who did net go with him had better
cross the border to FL Paso. This is
the first definite move in the long
delayed evacuation of the Mexican
border city ly lebel troops. Trains
are being MADE up for the movement
and the artillery and cavalry horses
loaded
II is announced that OroZco with
the 800 rebels stationed here will
proceed south on the Mexican Central
TO meet the forces of General Inez
Salazar who has escaped from the
trap set by federals at Casas Grandes
inez Salazar, the rebel leader re
American colonists, is heading north
with his 1000 rebels. In his wake
he is destroying the Mexican North
western railway. In this way he hopes
to delay pursuit by the two federal
armies which temporarily pocketed
him at Casas Grandes.
To Join Orozco.
The oncoming insurrectos will join
their chief, Pascual Orozco, thus COM
bining practically al of the rebels Op
Grating in Chihuahua. The next prob
lem will be to proceed successfully
into Sonora, the border state to the
west, where other rebel groups are
operating.
On account of the scarcity of wa
ter supply. the trip directly along the
int ernational line is almost impos'
sible. The northern movement o.
Salazars forces has not been agree
able to American capital. "Condi
tions are deplorabe; all is lost"
wires Juan Amadaro, manager of the
Corralitos cattle ranch, an American
property, to officials of the company
at II Paso.
The Northwestern railway which
will be destroyed is Canadian and
American owned road of the Pearson
corporation. It was reported that the
rebels had made demand on the
Pearson Lumber Company for $780,
OO0 with the threat that the plant of
the company at Pearson would be
burned if the money was not deliy
cred.
Wandering over the plains some
where between the Casas Grandes
district and the American border are
100 Americans. They came from the
colonies of Jaurez and Dublan. Af-
ter sending their wives to FL Paso
they undertook the hardships of an
overland journey of 200 miles.
With the safe arrival at the bor-
der of this group of refugees, prac-
tically all the American settlers will
have quit Mexico, leaving behind
their farms and homes.
