IN PARK
CLAIMS ITS
FIRST BOY
VICTIM

The first drowning of the sea-
son occurred at Piedmont park
today, when James Sims, 10 years
old, of 292 North Jackson street,
persisted in the newly-opened lake
after a boat had oapsized with
him and three companions.
The boys were having a gay
time on the water when Sims
lost an oar. One of the boys
reached out for it, and the boat
was tipped over, capsizing.
Sims was the only lad in the
boat dressed in street clothes. and
that fact cost him his life. The
other lads, in their bathing suits,
had a comparatively easy time
getting to shore.
Roy Bosohs, son of R. c. Bosche, who
lives on the Boulevard, saw Sims was
in difficulty and turned back to help
him. He was dragged under the water
by the Drowning boy and had to make a
desperate struggle to-save himself final
Iy. When dragged out he was exhaust
ed.
The alarm was spread BY the victims
companions and with others dragging
of the lake was begun. Several of the
lads. in spite of the peril they had Just
escaped. dived for the body, but in vain
Police headquarters and Grady hos
pita were notified and an ambulance
and patro rushed to the scene.

FOR TITANIC
DISASTER

WASHINGTON, May 28.-Re-
sponsibility for The Titanic dis
aster and the loss of over 1,60O
lives was placed upon the British
board of trade today by Senator
William Alden Smith, of Michi-
gan, chairman of the committee
which investigated the world S
greatest marine disaster.
In the most striking speech
heard on the floor of the senate
in decade, he scored the laxity
of regulation and hasty inspection
of the British board. " The SEN

Though pointing out the rashness Of

Smith first mentioned the purpose for
which the Titanic Investigators had
been appointed, and reviewed the scope

unaided. At midnight. when Aunt
Sarah was soundly asleep In the best
bed in the house and dreaming of the
ounce preserves she had eaten for
supper, Moses left his own bed and the
house and started to crawl into her
open window. 1t was known to him
that once the widow was asleep no
thunderclap could awaken her. Under
the window he deposited an old pair
of shoes, and on the grass not far away
he left an old hat. Suspicion must be
cast upon tramp, you see.
The loving brother had got most OF
his body into the room when Aunt
Sarah bobbed out Of bed and grabbed
q chair and brought it down on the
head of the intruder with such force
as to break the legs and his head at
the same time. The chair fell to the
floor, and Moses fell to the ground.
There was an alarm. He was not a
good liar and realized the fact, and SO
he simply explained that 1t was case

afraid that some of her other relatives

idea was preposterous. Fifty-nve

erary Press.

In the village of Howeils, after Mrs.
James Griggs became a widow, she
was always spoken Of as Aunt Sarah.
Her husband was carpenter. and In
the last days of the war he enlisted
and went to the front to be killed. 1t
was years afterward that Aunt Sarah
got her pension, and then 1t came in a
lump sum Of 5000 She was fifty-fve
years old then and living with rela-
tives.
There were two brothers. two broth
ers-in-law, three sisters and four or
five uncles and aunts interested In that
pension money. 1t came by the z
o'clock mail, and by 8 o'clock the news
had buzzed all through the village and
reached relatives living eleven miles
away. That evening there was an as
sembly at the house Of brother Moses.
The family had let the dish washing go
and dressed up Aunt Sarah in her
calico best She was 5000 woman
now, and brother Moses had said to
her.
"Tll take charge Of the money and
all you'll have to do the rest OF your
life is to eat peach preserves and sit
with folded hands"
The other relatives. as fast as they
approached, made similar offers. and
there was hardly man in the village
vine didn't offer to borrow the money
and pay 10 per cent interest. Aunt
Sarah certainly held the center OF the
stage. She had often been tainted
with having no will of her own. but
now 1t was found that her relatives
had made great big mistake. she
had will. She refused to let any one
Of them take charge of her finances.
She refused to lend shilling. She re-
fused to follow any advice about in
vesting 1t. She proposed to paddle her
own canoe. When she cashed the
check she refused to bank the money,
but carried the wad of greenbacks
around in a pocket made for the pur-
pose.
How was any relative to get his
hands on that money? This kept sew

1t seemed that cajolery or flattery
was the only course. They had Aunt
Sarah from home to home. She was
fed on preserves and lodged in the
spare room. She had an alpaca dress
and new bonnet. IL she went to feed
the hogs or wash the dishes she was
chased back into the parlor and told
to look at the photos in the family
album. She was told that she was
growing younger every hour. and she
was provided with hair dye and
toothbrush. and after couple of
weeks hints would be thrown out that
she had better hand over the money.
She was always ready to pass on to

Officials, however, were apprehensive
OF the next move of the rebel general,

United States troops, protesting that
he meant no harm but believed TO be
planning another raid into American
territory.
Armed COW punchers, acting as vol

trated at points where maraduders might
cross to steal cattle or pillage ranches.
