Washington, April 26.-A sworn
statement that the captain Of the
liner California refused to go to the
aid of the Titanic, although only a
few miles away, today was filed by
Ernest Gill, donkey engineman on the
Californian with the senate COM
mittee investigating the Titanic dis
aster. Gill said that the distress rock
cts were plainly visible from the deck
of the Californian and must have been
visible to both the bridge and the
lookout.
Gill was placed on the witness
stand Immediately after Senator
Smith, the chairman, had finished
reading Gill's affidavit.

be the Titanic" said Gill after being
sworn, "some time before midnight
She was about ten miles away and
went past us apparently at full sped.
She was big ship and l saw two
tiers of lights. The Californian at
the time was caught in a field of ice.
Her engines were stopped and she
was drifting with the floe."
The vessel, Gill testified, must have
been plainly visible to the bridge and
the lookouts, as well as the rockets
which she sent up later. The Califor
MANS captain, he said, paid no at
tention to the distress signals and his
refusal to get up steam and go to
the aid Of the stranger so incensed
the crew that Gill tried to organize
protesting party among the men. He
failed, he said, because "the men were
afraid they'd loose their jobs"
What time did the Californian get
up steam?" asked Senator Fletcher.
"I don't know exactly" said the
witness, "but it was some time after
5 o'clock"
From the rockets Gill judged tho
distressed ship to be not more than

The final battle after daylight had
flooded the big armory and the dele
gates were almost completely worn
out by their all-day and .ail-night
struggle, was on the question of in
structing the eight delegates-at-large

in an effort to prevent flat insrruc-
tons for Roosevelt. But they were
swept off their feet by the how domi-
nant Roosevelt tide and by vote of
more than 2 to 1, the Roosevelt
forces carried their point which re
suited in the withdrawal Of Mayor
Kreismann and Chairman Morris as

The simplest kind OF hotbed to build ia

fresh horse manure to make a level pile
six or seven feet wide, a couple of feet
longer than the length of the hotbed, and
about three feet high after il has been
packed somewhat, to the place intended
for it. says Farm, stock and Home
After the manure has begun TO heat
well. which may take three or four days
TO n week, It must be forked over and
tightly packed into a level pile about two
feet deep and large enough to extend
the hotbed frame all the way around
The frame must now be set on the
manure and covered with glass The
outside must also be banked up with
manure to prevent the loss of heat, About
two days later. or when the manure be-
gins to warm up, a siX-inch layer Of
rich garden loan may be spread over the
frame. Three or four days later this soil
may be worked up and planted.
The hotbed frame may be made from
inch boards The south side should be
about six inches above tho soil and the
north side about u inches above. by
raising up the frame when ready to plant
and banking up with some more manure
Will answer the purpose. The size of the

The demand for ona-year agree

that three years of assured peace in

they are safe for three years and even
withdraw from membership to escape

who remain the fervor for thu cause
dies down. These reasons may be
counter balanced on the side of the
owners hy the fact that the uncer-

welfare OF the miners Furthermore,
