whether or not the initiative, refer.
endum and recall should be endorsed.
Treadwell Twichell took the afirma.
tive, while Judge Young championed
the cause OF the negative. Mr..
Twichell held that this plan was the
only one which would keep the fear
Of the Lord in the hearts OF those Of
ilce-hOlders wlo were inclined to be
corrupt, and that the republican
party in order to keep apace with the
progress which is being made in az
fairs OF state must of necessity adopt
the measure. In the course Of his re.
marks, some of them were directed
to Judge Young, and they drew his
fire. When Mr.. Twichell had finish.
ed, the Judge took the floor and pre-
scented his side Of the proposition. He
said 1t was natural for men in Office
to submit to the clamor of the masses,
and that there we're times when the
masses, through the pressure of heat
ed times might demand the very
things which they in reality should
not have. He cited the trial Of Christ
before Plate. This man found no
wrong in Him, but there was a cla-
NOR. a ~fervent persistence which he
could not withstand, and he yielded,
with the result that a good mar was
wronged. He referred to the attempt
q few years ago on the part of the
state Of1cials to use trust funds of
the government for other institutions
in this state. when the only power
which prevented this mistake, this be-
trayal OF trust, was the very firm de.
cision OF the supreme court against
the proposition. In the Judges mind
these were cases which showed that
the recall Is an unsafe measure, and
that 1t robbed men in Office of their
their independence and would in SER
ious cases prove the undoing of the
guards thrown around the very causes
which they we're supposed to defend.
After hours Of sparring, in which
Congressman Helgeson and others
participated. it was agreed to cover
the point by urging the next session
Of the Legislature to give the people
OF the state an opportunity to vote on
the question of initiative, referendum
and recall. This is covered in para

COLORADO MAY NOT INSTRUCT

Colorado Democrats lined up here to-
day for the State convention, to name
twelve delegates to the Baltimore con-
vention. Despite the strong support
given early in the campaign to the
Harmon boom, the real contest in the
convention promises to be between
Clark and Wilson and between these
two the delegates appear to be so di-
vided that the outcome may be an un-
instructed delegation to the Baltimore
convention.

present time mining and manufactur.
ing have so far advanced as to predom-
mate and control. immigration has
also added to the variety of races
among the Catholic population; not
ably Poles, Hungarians, Greeks, Ii
thuanians and Slavs may be found
among the mining population OF the
eastern and southern parts of the dio-
cese; while Belgians are numerous
among the workmen employed in the
manufacture of glass, an industry that
has risen of late years to prominence
in Ohio, owing to the discovery of
natural gas, which is an important
feature in this business. The native
born descendants of the pioneer Cath
olics have taken notable place in the
walks of business and professional life,
especially in the larger centers of pop
ulation. The bishop and large num-
Der of the clergy are natives of the

change in the attitude of non-Catholics
towards the church and their Catho-
lie fellow-citizens.

Washington, April 27.-That the

warning of the proximity of dense
field OF ice, less than two hours be
fore the liner struck the iceberg, was

ton of the disaster.
Captain Stanley Lord and Wireless
Operator Cyril Evans, both OF the
steamship Californian, testified to
the curt reply TO their attempt to
warn the big liner OF the danger that
lay ahead.
II was further established in the
testimony of Captain Lord that his
ship lay surrounded by Ice not more
than 1871 miles from the Titanic
from the time she struck the iceberg
and sent out her G.. ID. Q. call until
she sank beneath the surface. The
testimony of both men demonstrated
that but for the accident of weary
wireless operator going TO bed, the
Californian would have heard the
fp, hAIN Titn ptn and
proceeded to the assistance or the
liner at once.
The committee also seemed much
impressed by the fact that Captain
Lord regarded the ice REPORTS he had

Much contradictory testimony was
heard regarding the rockets seen
from the bridge Of the Californian
that Sunday night just about the
time the officers of the Titanic were
signalling in this way in the hope of
attracting attention of a ship sighted
on her port bow. ernest Gill, don
koyman on the Californian, appeared
before the committee and swore to a
statement that rocket signals OF dis
tress from n neighboring ship were
ignored by the officers Of the Califor-
nian. Captain Lord OF the Calilor.
nlan acknowledged that the firing OF
the rockets from ship that lay in
the ice three or four miles distant
had been reported to him, but de-
clared that his officers told him they
we're not signals OF distress. This
ship, he said. would not pay any at
tention to his attempts to commune
cate with her by the Morse electric
signal. II could not have been the

cause rockets from her could not
have been visible to the Californian,

tined that Gill had told him he was

DISASTROUS
Was Long Winter To The
Fruit Trees
And Years Crop viii Be Far
Below Average

Fruit trees were hit hard by the
prolonged cold winter, and as re-
suit this years crop will be far below
the average. Reports by N. e. Shaw,
state nursery and orchard inspector
from throughout the state indicate
this.
There was heavy loss of trees,
probably the heaviest along the lake
front and especially eastward from
Cleveland, where many hundreds of
trees have been planted in recent
years.
The unripened condition in which
trees entered the winter, as a result
of the late fall rains, augmented the
heavy loss occasioned by the cold
weather The trees were in no con-
dition to withstand the severe cold.
Peach trees suffered more than 9TH
ers Hundreds of these trees from one
to six years old were killed. There
was also considerable loss of pear
trees Nurserymen report heavy
losses of one-year stock in the nur.
sery row.
Strange as it may seem, Catawba
Island peach orchards sustained little
damage and the prospects are that
there will be full crop there. Otta-
wa county, also in the peach belt, ex-
poets fair crop, with some injury
reported on certain varieties.
Throughout the central and level
portions of the state, peach buds,
have been nearly killed, while in
Southern Ohio from % to 80 per cent
of the buds escaped unharmed, thus
assuring a fair crop in the more fav-
ored localities.
Cherry and plum buds have Jared
about the same as the peach.
Inspector Shaw says that the pros
pect for an apple crop is good in com.
mercial orchards and others which
have had proper care. In the uncared
for farm orchards that had heavy
crop last year, there is a very light
setting of fruit buds and the crop will
undoubtedly be a light one.
During the coming week practical
ly all varieties of apples will be il
full bloom in Southern Ohio. The
first bloom reported was in Washing
ton county last week, which is one Of
the large apple-producing counties o
the state.
