SHIP CLOSE AT HAND
WHEN TITANIC SANK
VESSEL WITHIN FIVE MILES
WHEN DISASTER OCCURRED.
According to Officer, Other Boat Did
Not Respond to Signals for
Help.

Washington, April 22-With succor
only five miles away, The Titanic slid
into it's watery grave, carrying with it
more than 1900 of its passengers and
crew, while an unidentified steamer
that might have saved all, failed or
refused to see the frantic signals
flashed to it for aid This phase of
the tragic disaster was brought out
today before the senate Investigating
committee, when ]. B. BoxhaIl, fourth
officer Of the Titanic, told of his un-
successful attempts to attract the
strangers attention.
This ship, according to Boxhall
could not have been more than five
miles away, and was steaming toward
the Titanic. So close was it that from
the bridge Boxhall plainly saw its
masthead lights and then its red side
light.
Bith with rockets and with the
Morse electric signal did the young
officer hail the stranger, Capt. Smith
and several others in the vicinity OF
the bridge declared at the time that
the vessel had seen them and was sig
mailing in reply. Boxhall failed to see
the reply signals, however, and in any
case the steamer kept On its course
obhquely past the Titanic, without ex-
tending aid.
Not Enough Boats.
This and the declaration by P. A. S.
Franklin, vice president of the White
Star line, that there was not sufficient
lifeboats aboard the Titanic to care
for the ships company at one time
were easily the feature Of the hearing.
The official was quizzed throughout
the morning session on the messages
exchanged between the Carpathia and
himself after the ship had started for
New York, with the Titanic's survivors
aboard. Among the survivors was ].
Bruce Ismay, managing director Of
the line.
Among the wireless kilograms read
into the record was one from Mr.. Is
may urging that the steamship Cedric
be held until the Carpathia arrived
with it's burden. He declared he be-
Eeved it most desirable" that the sur
vivors of the Titanic's crew be rushed
out of the country as quickly as pos
sible. He also, the message said,
would sail on the Cedric, and asked
that clothing be ready at the pier for
him when the Carpathia docked. The
senate's subpoenas blocked the plan.

TAFT IN NOVEMBER.

Many a Democrat has been elected in
July, only to be buried under an ava
lanche of votes in November. Mr.. Taft's
prospects are now at their lowest ebb.
First driven by treachery and shameful
abuse to the extreme Of undignihed per-
sonal defence, then fought with unex-
ampled bitterness in his contest for a
deserved denomination, and now con-
fronting not only an open detachment
from his own ranks, but also most
resourceful and daring Democratic OPP
ponent, his record of accomplishments
upon which he must ultimately rely Ia
for the moment collapsed. But the fact
that few Presidents have rendered more
valuable service under trying conditions
remains. Mr.. Taft's fidelity, his consci-
entious endeavors, his singleness of I'M
selfish purpose, his purity Of intent, his
noble achievements, are forgotten only
for the time. They will be recalled with
gratitude and emphasized with effect
tFrom Harper's Weekly, which Is sup
porting Wilson.

The New Haven railroad system has
made the announcement that it expects
to have $50 miles of it's lines working
electrically within IS months, and the
New York Central counts on doubling
its electrically operated mileage in the
near future. At present the traffic on
about 500 miles of American railway is
handled by electric locomotives. The
New York Central has 225 miles; the
New Haven lines, ia; the Pennsylvania,
1OO the Long Island, $50; the West Jer-
sey and Sea Shore, ITS, and the rest Is
in the Detroit river, st. Clair and
Hoosac tunnels, with a stretch of a
dozen miles on the Great Northern,
where 1t climbs the Cascade mountains.
The present plans of the New Haven
and the New York Central lines will
about double this total by the end of
1913. In Europe the systems of cleo
IRRIGATION installed at important termi-
nails and for urban traffic are modelled
after American designs and principles,
and the work is being pushed forward
on larger scale than at present in the
United States. In Switzerland the ma
tional railways, totalling 1900 miles, are
undergoing electrification at an expense
of $13,000.000. The comparative cheapness
Of the enterprise is explained by the
abundant water power available there.
However, the heavy grades and the long
tunnels were the prime reasons for aban-
doning the steam locomotives. In Ger
many the electric system is continually
expanding. The Berlin Stadtbahn is
about to employ 500 electric locomotives,
entirely aboishing the use of steam. In
France there are now 100 miles of cleo
trio trackage leading out of Paris, and
1t is proposed to electrify the whole
suburban service at an expense of $780,
100000. In Italy 300 miles of track in
the northern part, where there is
abundant water power, is now being
electrified.

Why silver furnishes.

Everybody is familiar with the ten
dency of silverware to part with its bril-
lance and become furnished when ex-
posed to ordinary atmospheric influences,
but not everyone knows that the cause
of the furnishing is the action Of the
sulphur in the air. Unless frequently
cleaned, the surface of silver will be-
come black in the course of a few
months. The best way to keep silver
bright without the necessity of cleaning
is said to be to coat the surface with
thin solution of collodion varnish di-
luted with spirits of wine. After being
applied with a soft brush the spirit eva
porates, leaving thin. glossy, transpa-
rent film on the polished surface. Warm
water removes the varnish. Tarnished
silver may be restored by careful rub
bling with a soft cloth wet with dilute
solution of potassium cyanide, one ounce
to a quart of water, followed by rinsing

Ira A. Burns of Burlington was before

with obtaining money under false pre-

Saturday and represented himself as a
member of two fraternal organizations,
from the members of which he tried to

to work as a carpenter for the Bates
Rogers construction company. He told
such plausible story that he got

another, and a third man promised to
lend him some tools to go to work with.
In the afternoon he again went to the
same man from whom he had obtained

more. He was referred to the secretary
of the local lodge who got into tele-
phonic communication with the secreta-
ry of the lodge in Burlington, to which
the man claimed to belong, and was
told that the man was an imposter and
furthermore he had been working the

to arrest him. He went looking for him,
and Burns saw him coming and ran to-

flied Deputy Sheriff Carroll of Millers
Falls by telephone to be on the lookout
for him, and he caught him and brought
him back to Turner'S Falls, where he
was put into the lookup. In the court
he told conflicting stories, and was fined
$15 dollars, in default of which he was
taken to the Jail at Greenfield. It is
probable that the Greenfield people will
also bring a charge against him when
his time Is up. The vagrancy charge
was filed away.-[Turners Falls des-

Burns was a well-known character in
East Dover and vicinity two or three
years ago. He was charged with posing
as fish warden when he did not hold
the office and with other actions which
attracted attention. The fact that he
claimed to be a member of fraternal
lodges and that no record of his men,
bership could be found was known in
Brattleboro and Newfane, and he was
warned not to wear certain emblems
which he had displayed at different
times.
