The report comes from Eastern
Kentucky that Judge Theo, Blakey
of Beattyville, will certainly be a
candidate on the Bull Moose"ticket
for Judge of the Court of Appeals
in the Seventh Appellate district at
the coming November election.
Judge Blakey, who was second as
sistant Attorney General in the
last State administration, was a
candidate for the Republican nom-
ination for Appellate Judge, but
withdrew few weeks before the
State primary, leaving Judge A. J.,
Kirk, OF Paintsville. a clear field.
Judge Blakey then joined the Bull
Moose" movement and had been
prominent in the councils of the neN
party. 1t is said that Judge Blakey
got out of the Republican primary
to keep from getting the G. o. p.
nomination, and that he will show
Judge Kirk a trick or two at the
coming regular run-off in November.

When the Carpathia reached the i'll.

seen anywhere, the mountainous ocean
swells giving much evidence to the

than her best speed. She was a day
ahead of her schedule and it is con-
sidered probable that an attempt to
make a record-breaking voyage was
the hope of her crew when she entered
the ice field.
Her forward plates were completely
wrecked. A gaping wound opening
below her water line and letting the
water into her forward compartments.
In the meantime the lifeboats were
manned and into them we're placed
as many of the women and chill
dren as they could hold. The
boats were put off while there was
yet some hope Of saving the Titanic
afloat until wireless could summon
help. Later and more conservative es-
Inmates tell of great bravery OF the
part Of the men passengers. There
was a minimum of disorder. John
Jacob Astor, who, with his bride, was
returning from their long honeymoon
abroad, saw bis bride placed in a life
boat safely away. Col. Astor a
drowned. The work of getting the life
boats away, the work Of allaying
the fears of the great crowd of pas
sengers as much as possible, the
work of keeping the pumps in opera
ton and the engines throbbing--these
tasks and countless others were direct
ed by Captain Smith, the veneer
able commander of the Titanic, and
before her advent the commander Of
the Olympic who displayed almost SUI
perhuman power of mind and body at
the worlds most horrible sea disaster,
crowned his long and honorable serv-
ice on the high seas.
A wireless message from the Vir-
ginia states that the occupants of the
small boats which she picked up have
been transferred to the Carpathia
which is proceeding to New York.
The Titanic struck the iceberg at
1926 Sunday night and foundered at
2:20 Monday morning.
At daybreak the Carpathia arrived
on the scene and her passengers and
crew brought the small boats with
their precious human cargo into New
York.

worldwide cry of distress on the
ocean.
Every wireless operator within
range of the doomed vessel dropped
other messages to locate and many re-
layed the fatal message to the world.
The collision occurred in latitude
ALAG North and longitude SOFA West,
1.150 miles east of New York and $50
miles south of Cape Race, the most
westerly point Of Newfoundland.
Contrary to earlier dispatches there
was no storm when the vessel struck.
The weather was clear and calm.
Almost as soon as the Virginian
picked up the distress signal it was
recorded by the operator on the Olym-
pic, the Titanic's sister ship, and next
to her the largest vessel afloat. This
was at midnight. At that hour the
Olympic was 200 miles from New
York enroute to Southampton.
The Baltic, famous for her rescue OF
passengers of the steamer Republic
and for her Jack Binns, who sat aloft
and braved death to summon help
was the next ship to pick up the brief
story of the Titanic's plight.
She was on her way from New York
to Liverpool but turned about and put
on full speed toward the Titanic's po-
sition. The Partisan, according to her
messages reached the fiotilla of res
cue ships shortly after the Baltic.
A wireless message from Captain
Haddock confirmed the fears of the
White Star Line officials that all but
the $40 women and children who es-
capped in the small boat from the $10,-
900, 900 steamship had persisted. A
part of this message was Withheld, but
