CAPTAIN LORD
HAS BEEN REMOVED
Was in Command of the Californian
Which Failed to Go to Assistance
of the Titanic Although
Nearby.

Boston, May 29.-Capt. Stanley Lord
of the Leyland liner California, who
was scored in the Titanic report to the
Senate for not going to the rescue after
distress rockets from the sinking ship
had been seen, is no longer in com
mand of the Californian. This fact
leaked out yesterday about the time
the committees report was received
from Washington.
The Californian left Liverpool May is,
with 25 passengers and because of long
detour to the south to avoid the ice,
she will probably not arrive here until
tomorrow or possibly Friday.
Capt. Masters, son of Capt, r. F..
Masters, who for many years command
ed the steamship Columbian between
Manchester and Boston, has succeeded
Capt. Lord in the Californian. No wire
less report had been received from the
liner up to dark last night.
Whether Capt. Lord has been removed
from command permanently or only re-
mained in England to give testimony
before the British investigation commit
tee, is not known. At the office of the
International Mercantile Marine, Gener
al Manager John II. Thomas could not
say whether Capt. Lord had been re-
lieved permanently or not He said he
knew nothing about it except that Capt.
Lord was not now in command of the
Californian.
Capt. Lord was on his way to Boston
in the Californian when the Titanic
sank. 1t was the first trip of the ves-
sci to this port, as she has been almost
continuously employed in the trade be-
tween England and southern ports.

CAN MUST INDEX CONTENTS.
Addition of Water to Give Illusion of
Greater Quantity of Adulteration.

Washington, May 29.-The addition
of water to canned products will be
considered adulteration in future, except
in those cases where a certain amount
of water is required for the proper
preparation or for the sterilization of
the product, according to pure food
decision signed Monday by Secretary
Wilson of the department of agrieul-
ture.
The can in canned food products
serves not only as container but also
as an index of the quantity of food
there" the decision says. "lt should
be as full of food as is practicable
for packing and processing without in
juring the quality or appearance of the
contents. Some food products may be
canned without the addition of any
other substance whatever-for example
tomatoes. The addition of water in such
instances is deemed adulteration."

last Friday evening. Fhe results of
the fair were far beyond the expecta

show that a fair of this kind is both
patronized and appreciated.
s One of the striking things brought
out in winding up the business Of the

spite Of the small amount of money
available to carry on the. fair and that
no admission was charged to any part
of It, the association has a balance In
the treasury, after all bills are paid.
This goes to show that the manage

hands, and that Mr.. Hale viii look

pleasure to everyone. sssss;
Many changes, improvements and
additions are being planned for next
