CALLS FOR HELP
 ARE DESCRIBED Marconi Operator On Mount Temple Heard Every Ap- peal of Sinking Titanic.
HURRIED TO THE SHIP
But Arrived Too Late-OperatOr On the Titanic Made Clear TrOu-
 ble to All Steamers.

St. John. N. B., April 25-J. Durant Marconi operator, of the Steamer Mount Temple, today denied that the steamer was only five miles from the Titanic at the time of the acci- dent His story follows:
 T was lying in bed reading with the telephone over my ears at 10: 25 ship time. 12.11 New York time, when I caught the first call. Immediately getting out of bed answered, ask ing the position of the stricken ship. This was sent back with the addition Come at once, have struck berg.
 'As soon as I got the message notified the captain, who at once doubled the watch of the firemen be- low, calling all hands on deck and changed the ships course towards the position of the Titanic. When went back to my instrument and sat there. I did not call the Titanic again because other ships, which I judged to be closer, were working and I did not wish to jam them.
 At 1921 I heard the Carpatha answer the c Q. D. call of the IT. tanic and heard the operator on that ship give his position, adding Have struck berg, cotne to our assistance ssspes' N f s, < At l2;34 II heard the Frankfurt answer the Titanic. That ship answered What is the matter with your The answer was, We have struck an iceberg. Please tell cap- tain to come. To this the operator on ;he Frankfnrt replied, o. K, will tell the Bridge right away
 "The answer to this was Yes, quick. All this time the c. 0. D. messages were being sent out from the sinking liner, and at 1:O6 I heard the Olympic answer the call. To this steamer the Titanic said, Captain says get your boats ready. going down fast by the head. Five minutes later the Frankfut struck ill with Our captain will go for you.'
 At 1:21 the Olympic sent another message, which the Titanic answered, saying, We are putting women off in the boa's.'
 Another five minutes of anxious waiting passed when the c. 0. D. cut the :.ir, accompanied by words, Engine room flooded Out of the darkness the Olympic again asked How is the sea around your to which the reply was, The sea is calm
 Another Holur minutes passed when the operator of the Frankfurt was heard asking the Titanic Are there any boats around you already :! To this .here was no reply. A few minutes later the Olympic sent, mes sage to the Titanic, which the latter barely acknowledged by the code, R. D. That was the last message l heard and presume the flooding ol the engine room had put the wire less ou. of commission.
 Meanwhile everything that was possible was done on the Mount Temple. All hands we're on deck the boats were swung over the davits and the gangways and ladders were

 Gave Operators Permission.
 Washington, April 25.-Guglilmo Marconi, chairman of the Marconi Company, Limited, told the Senate committee Investigating the Titanic disaster that he authorized the wire less operators of the Carpathia and Titanic to sell their stories of the great seat disaster for publication.
 MT. Marconi explained that in giv- i111nent for the sale of these stes- ies he had not attempted in any way to suppress general information of the wreck.
 The inventor of the wireless de- nied any knowledge whatever of wire less messages sent to the Carpathia operators telling them to "keep your mouth shut" and hold out for four figures
 These messages, one of them sign ed "Marconi," was picked up by tho U. S. s. Florida the night the Car pathia was coming in and were for warded to the secretary of the navy.
 Mir. Marconi declared he never au- thorized these messages. but did give consent that operators could receive money.
 Early in his testimony MT. Marconi told of repeated attempts he had made during Sunday, Monday and the days after the tragedy to get information.
 Officers of the Titanic who have ap- peared before the Senate Investigating committee urging early today that they be permitted to go back to their homes in England at the earliest pos sible moment. All of the surviving officers have testified, but the com mittee is lothee to let any of them re- turn until the testimony of all the ships crew has been taken. Counsel for the White Star Company urged that the officers be permitted to re- turn the promise that they could be recalled and would respond if neces- sary. 1t was contemplated that de- cision in the matter would be reached some time today.
 Chairman Smith early today was unable to say in what order the witt nesses would be called. He wishes to recall Steward Crawford. the man who saw Mrs. Isidor Straus step back from

COME BACK TO THE TARIFF
All Artificial Prices OF Which the
People Complain Are Found
to Center There.

One fact, one that every man OF
practical sense can grasp. was very
clearly set forth in the speech OF
prominent Democratic leader at the
Reform club
mo doubt there are many reasons
why modern business has been organ
lied o. lines OF wide combination.
No doubt, too there are many causes,
natural as we1l as artificial, which lie
underneath the rise in prices. but,
howeve: economists may argue this
matter, or whatever general laws and
tendencies they may disclose, we have
only to read the testimony taken at
trials instituted by the government or
Investigations instituted by congress;
we have only to dig little way into
the tariff schedules themselves and
get experts to explain to us the real
significance OF here phrase and
there a fraction, to see the whole
business laid bald and bare before us
by which systematic advantage has
been taken Of the tariff to raise prices
without awaiting the assistance OF
economic laws, and without regarding
either justice or the rights OF the pub
lie. The tariff is the mother Of arti.
fetal prices because 1t is the foster.
mother of monopoly, and only when
these roots Of the whole evil thing are
touched shall we begin to get control
of the forces which have all but mas.

Ing credit for his party for having full

came to naught through the vetoes OF

the house has passed the wool bill

has yet been favorably acted upon in

The failure OF tariff revision since
the 1910 elections does not rest with
the Democratic house. The responsi,
bility for failure belongs to the senate
and the president both Republican.
Never at any time has the Demo
cratic party been more united on the

W. c. 7. U. NOTES
By c. w. C.

We are on the eve OF prohibition
election. Most OF us want prohibit
tion. Even If we indulge in an occa-
sonal glass of beer, for the sake
of the men who make beasts Of
themselves, for the sake of women
and children who suffer, we should
like to see the whole thing prohibit
ed. But can the law be enforced?
Does prohibition prohibit? To which
we answer: The states which have
1t are keeping 1t. Then the liquor
men are spending millions to defeat
prohibition. While they advertise
to the world that 1t does not work,
they are still fighting it with might
and main.
A very interesting bloodless battle
took place recently in Macon, Ga.
The United Confederates were to
hold reunion. The Model License
league expected to break down the
law and hold high carnival. Forty
carloads OF beer were ordered from
Evansville, Ind. The train moved
like a mighty serpent across the
country, saying to the world: PRO
hibition don't prohibit"
Hundreds of letters and kilograms
in protest were sent to the governor.
He replied that he had no power.
To make long story short, one
party was convicted and fined $500.
The sale of beer and whiskey was
stopped. The following brief extract
from the Macon News tells the story:
Fifty thousand visitors in attendance
upon the reunion, 10000 inhabit-
ants of Macon all drinking heartily,
but of water-not intoxicants. Since
Monday (the second day of the re-
union. 100000 gallons of water
have been consumed.
