Steamship Official Tried to Hold the Cedric So He
 Could Go Back,
ORDERS NOT OBEYED
Fourth Officer BOxall Tells of How Another Steamer Refused to
 Render Aid.

Washington, April 22.-That J. Bruce 1smay had planned to board the Steamer Cedric and return to Liverpool without setting foot on American soil was today disclosed to the Senate Investigating Comimttee by P IS. Franklin, vice president and American manager of the White Star Line.
 1t was disclosed in the now fam ous "Yamsi" series of Marconigrams, first printed in the New York Am erican. In all the rest of those fran tic appeals to hold the Cedric until the Carpathia arrived, MT. "Yamsi' pretended to be interested only in sending the officers and crew home. But after Franklin had absolutely re- fused to obey the orders of his SUD- erior to hold the Cedric, 'Yamsi' made his real motive plain.
 The MarcOnigrams.
 The gram which Franklin read in a clear steady voice while Ismay fid- geted in his seat is as follows:
 Steamship Carpathia, April IS. Isle Frank, New York. Widener not aboard. Hope to see you Quarantine. Please cable wife am returning Ced- ric. YAMSI."
 The unfeeling United States auth critics drowned npon "Yamsi's" plan to escape as the latter was informed by Mr. Franklin in the following re- ply, which did not even respect Mir. Ismay's alias. calling him plain Bruce Ismay.''
 Extremely sorry, authorities refuse to allow me on board steamer at Quarantine. We have made all ar engagements for landing of passeng- CTS. Will meet you at pier. Frank lin." @4@ V N Franklin's earlier reply to Ismay s command that the Cedric be held as furnished the committee, proved that the vice president was not entirely in according with the managing direc- tors views about holding the Cedric. What Ismay came back with was this: "Carpathia, April IS Isle Frank, New York. Unless you have good and substantial reasons for not holding the Cedric please arrange to do so Most undesirable to have crew in New York so long. (No signature.)"
 MT. Franklin, who was on the ground and knew public sentiment came back as follows:
 "Ismay, Carpathia. Regret after fullest consideration decided Cedric must sail as scheduled. Expect join Carpathia, but cannot remove boats as everything arranged for steamer Proceed dock immediately. FRANK LIN" = '' !, .a'N- The reference to boats was in re- sponse to still another "Yamsi" dis patch, which ordered Franklin for reasons best known to 'Mr. Yamsi' to get the Titanic's boats off the Car pathia before anyone at the dock had a chance to inspect them. Here is the boat dispatch.
 The time indicates that "Mr Yam si'' got up very early in the morning

 W1ss Badly Shot Up
 "That Gutrridge has been in at least one serious shooting scrape is indicated by the bulle. wounds on his body, which were discovered when the man was given medical treatment in the Barry hospital where he was taken the minute he made a demand for a drug to which he is addicted. His supply of "dop' was materially reduced there and, to use an expression of one of the officers, "he went hog wild"
 "The officials believe that Guth. ridge was "faking" a greater par. o1 the time, for the reason that he came within the proverbial ace O making his escape. He managed te steal an overcoat which had beer worn by one of the poorer inmate; of the hospital and was in the ac of stepping through one of the win dows when he was discovered by al attendant and hauled back into tn; room.

THE GUESTS
SOUTH DAKOTA TO ENTERTAIN
IN BIG EXCURSION THROUGH
THE BLACK HILLS - ABOUT
FORTY NORTH DAKoTANs Ex.
PEcT TO PARTICIPATE.

About forty North Dakota editors
and their wives will participate in
the excursion which will be made
from Sioux Falls. 5. d., to the Black
Hills in June, when the state OF South
Dakota and the city Of Sioux Fails
iii entertain the National Editorial
association
Recently Sec. w. e. Holbein Of the
North Dakota Editorial association
made a canvass of the fiickertail
membership on that proposition and
he found many who were anxious to
make the trip. 1t is proposed thar
the fiickertail party gather in Grand
Forks, making the trip to Sioux Falls
in body.
One of the rather pleasing features
of the contemplated excursion is the
fact that the editors will not be
obliged to spend any money after
leaving for Sioux Falls, except for
sleepers. All pleasure features ana
their railroad fares are being paid by
the South Dakota entertaining or
ganization.
The tour of the Black hills will be
so arranged that the editors will he
given an opportunity Of seeing almost
every part Of them, gaining very
thorough idea Of their worth to the
sister state.
Before the fickertail editors can
take advantage Of South Dakota'e
hospitality. they must become mem
bers. Of the National Editorial asso-
ciation, but that is mere triie SO
far as financial outlay is concerned.

Brooklyn, N. Y, April 2S.-Harry K.
Thaw, still unconvinced that the in
mates of the Mattewan prison for the
criminal insane are fit persons for
him to associate with, and longing for
a somewhat broader social life than
he can enjoy in his present environ
ment, is making another big strug-
gle for freedom. For several months
past, his mother, Mrs. Mary @. Thaw,
has had big physicians and alienists
watching her son. They reported he
was sane. So Mrs, Thaw has petition
ed for another judicial investigation
into her sons sanity. Judge Staple
ton of the supreme court. decided
that the evidence offered by alienists
was sufficient to warrant another in
uuiry. SO Ihaw was brought before
him on Friday, April 1s, and the in
vestigation commenced.
This is the third time Thaw has
sought liberty since his incarceration
in the hospital for criminal insane,
Feb. 1, 1908, following his second trial
for the murder of Stanford White. He
may be successful. His attorney, Clar-
ence J. Shearn, believes he will be.
Many noted aiienists have recently
pronounced Thaw sane. Among them
are DIR. Adolf Meyer, professor OF
mental diseases at the Johns Hopkins
university generally recognized as one
Of the foremost phychiatrists in this
country; DIR. Frederick Peterson, pro-
fessor of mental and nervous diseases
at Columbia university and for sew
eraI years president OF the New York
state lunacy commission; DIR, Charles
K Mills. professor Of neurology at
the University Of Pennsylvania; and
DIR. william "A. White. superintendent
of the q. S. government hospital for
the insane at Washington, d. c.
Powerful interests have long been
at work since three years ago" says
Attorney Shearn, and a large fund
OF money has been spent for motive
that may sometime be made plain to
keep Thaw incarcerated whether sane
Or insane There Is no possible justi-
dcatlon, however moral or legal, for
keeping q sane man in an insane
asylum"
It was estimated in Angst, 1903, that
Thaw,s mother had then spent 100000
toward obtaining his release. Since
then her purse has constantly been
open to him and the employment Of
the high priced aIienigts and the pres-
ents proceeding will. itais estimated
fcot the total sum up close TO $1,000

the University of Manitoba at Winni-

A meeting was called this noon by
Dean Brown of the college on the hill

and has quite wide reputation among
the educational institutions Of the

Should the team of the college on

A GREAT SESSION IN MINNIE
APoLIs-INTEREsTlNo SESSION
THIS FORENOON.

Minneapolis April 23.-The message
of Pres. f. B.. Leach Of Fargo, was
the feature of the opening session Of
the sixth annual convention of the
Northwestern Launderers' association
yesterday at the West hotel. There
were about 200 proprietors or man
ayers of laundries in Minnesota, North
and South Dakota and the western
portions of Iowa and wisconsin pres
ent when Frank b. Mcdonald, super
intendent of the workhouse extended
the welcome of the municipality Of
Minneapolis in behalf of Mayor J. c..
Haynes, absent on account of sickness.
c. M. Lyon Of Watertown, s. D., re-
sponded in behalf Of the association.
The launderers banquetted and dane
ed at the West hotel last night and this
morning listened to several very prac-
tical and informing addresses upon
subjects of interest. Fred NJ. Lloyd of
Chicago spoke upon plant depreciation,
declaring depreciation to be condi-
tion and not a theory. A going concern
is worth what it will cost to replace
and careful inventories should be made.
Depreciation should not be confounded
with renewals and every laundry
should have renewal account.
j. Clair Stone of St Paul, spoke upon
Adulterated Fabrics. He thought there
should be laws as in Germany, COMPEL
ing manufacturer to label his goods
what they are. There should be pure
fabric law as well as a pure food law.
A manufacturer should not label goods
pure linen or pure silk unless they
are such.
c. M. Way Of st. Paul drew picture
Of the ideal laundry foreman, whom he
declared must be an individual so pro-
gressive that when he becomes satisfied
with himself and his work he is sure to
be on the down grade and his employ
er should take cognizance Of the fact.
The convention concludes this after
noon and a smoker follows in the eve
