TWO CASES SETTLED
Out of Court by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.

Settlement out Of court was made In
the case of Fred NJ Willis, versus the
P. c. c. & St L. railroad company and
the suit filed some time ago was dis
missed at the cost of the defendant in
the Wayne circuit court this morning.
Wills sued for $4,000 damages for per
sonal injuries sustained while in the
employ of the company. The defendant
company settled with the plaintiff for
$4,000. Willis, who was employed as
brakeman on the Richmond division
alleged that his leg was broken due to
the negligence OF the company.
Another damage suit against the
Pennsylvania railroad was dismissed
this morning at the costs Of the defen-
dant. John G. Goodrich. who Aled suit
against the company recently charging
that while walking over the defend
ants crossing at Eighth and Washing
ton avenue he fell through a broken
board and his leg was severely wrench
ed. He asked for $4,000 but settlement
was made with him whereby he receiv-
ed nominal amount of damage.

WILL Be BIG CRUSH
Last Day for Tax Paying to
Break Records.

The last few days Of tax paying are
invariably the rush days" but this
year County Treasurer Albertson ex-
poets an unprecedented jam for the
final work. For some cause not clearly
explained, both county and city taxpay-
ers have this spring been unusually
dilatory in meeting their obligations to
the tax collector and unless they be-
come delinquent they necessarily must
get into the treasurer's ofice not later
than Monday, May 6. In accordance
with the instructions from the State
all taxes paid after that date must be
called delinquent and the penalty of
10 per cent added. The numerous COM
plants registered this year because of
increased taxes, especially in Rich
mond, are due to the increased city
and township rates and the increased
valuations placed on real estate. The
county and State rates were not in
creased over last year.

TWO PARTIES WILL
INSTRUCT WORKERS
Registration Officials Will
Be Shown How to Do
Their Work.

Both the Democratic and Republican
county committees are arranging for
schools of instruction" for inspectors
and clerks who will serve at the forth
coming registration of voters. Though
it would appear from a casual reading
of the registration law that none of it's
features are complex. it develops that
there are numerous provisions that
permit of various interpretations and
as a result there is every likelihood of
mixups in the registration that will
make delays inevitable. Both Republi-
cans and Democrats who have been
looking into the law and have examin-
ed the various forms that must be fll-
ed out by prospective voters see that
more time will be required for a man
to register than for him to vote. There
is also a feeling that scores Of voters
will fail to go to their precincts to reg
lister on May 9, the first day fixed by
law for this requirement, and both
committees are endeavoring to i'm
press on their followers the real neces-
sity of doing their duty. Don't wait
until September or October registra-
tions, but register In May" is the slo-
gan.

MADE BIC SHIPMENT
Hoosier Drill Sends Out Five
Hundred Machines.

The Hoosier branch of the Ameri-
can Seeding Machine company yes
terday sent out in a single shipment
500 pieces of seeding machinery which
is to- go to various parts of Europe.
1t was one OF the largest foreign ship
ments ever made at one time by a
Richmond manufacturing establish
ment. The foreign trade of the Ameri-
can Seeding Machine company has
been growing rapidly during recent
years and it is said prospects are for a
steady increase in the future. Espe-
cially is this likely to be the case when
the International Harvester company
with its agencies over the entire world
begins to take the entire output of the

fore the senate investigating commit
tee today that he had in any way In
terfered with or suppressed the news
OF the Titanic disaster, either from the

Carpathia. A moment later Chairman
Smith confronted him with four mes
sages picked up by the battleship Flor
ida in which Chief Engineer Sammis
OF the Marconi office directed the oper-
ators on the Carpathia to keep their
mouths shut. This sensational denoue-
ment startled the spectators at the
hearing. In the messages sammis told
the men to report to Marconi himself
upon arrival and said that the chief
was cognizant OF the sale OF their In
formation.
In spite OF the fact that the fourth

Marconi arrived In Washington un-
expectedly today and was made the
first witness. After describing the oper-
alton OF the various wireless installa-
ton on steamships Marconi was asked
where he was on Sunday. April IL, and
whether he had ANY communication
with the Carpathia that day or at any
time later. Marconi replied that he was
in New York but had no direct commu-
nication with the ship.
He admitted. however. that he tele-
phoned his oficers frequently on the
day following and talked with Mr..

ONCE, and Mr.. Sammis. but declared
that. they could give him but little In
formation until about 6:45 Monday
evening, when they reported that the
Titanic had sunk with great loss OF
life. Chairman Smith piled the witness
with number OF questions regarding
the Carpathia and finally said. "I am
going to read you some messages and
ask you what you have TO say about
them" This remark occasioned q mild
sensation, which was increased by the
reading OF four wireless messages. in

This was the reply delivered today
by Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt
to charges made in Washington dis
patches that he had forestalled anti
trust litigation against that corpora
ton.
Continuing. Col. Roosevelt said:
~There is no extended answer l can
make now although I intend to make
a longer and more definite answer
later. l am going over the entire case
at present and reviewing in my own
mind Just what did take place between
the government and the International
Harvester company while was presi.
dent.
Did An He Could Do.
There was nothing more that
could do than what did. The ques-
ton of the corporations legality was
considered by the cabinet and it was
found that there was nothing upon
which to base prosecution. Rather
than risk the prestige of the antitrust
!law and cause needless expense the
case was not undertaken.
II was informed by the commits
sioner of corporations that the Inter
national Harvester company was con.
Quoting It's affairs openly and above
board. having courted government In
