WASHINGTON, April PA caus

J.. Bruce Ismay and other White Star
officers, was the early sensation today
OF the senate Titanic hearing
Senator Smith openly charged tha'
an attempt to shape the course of the
inquiry had been made and would moi

A He exonerated the officers and crew
OF the Titanic from such interference
but gave a yelled hint that the shaft

Senator Smith. after his statement
refused TO let lsmay take the stand
as ismay had requested. Instead, he
called Fifth Officer II. ]. Lowe, leay'
Ing Ismay to cool his heels and await

Acting on tip anonymously Civ

committee investigating the Titanic

OF the passengers, said to be DR..

Later Smith received a message
from the Canadian government stat
ing that every effort will be, made to
cooperate in running down the report.
How Ismay was ordered by one Of
his own employees to get to hell out
OF that when he tried personally to
supervise the loading of one of the
lifeboats, was dramatically related to
the senate investigating committee by
Lowe.

THE DIFFERENCE. Between
PROSPERITY AOD ADVERSELY

Yes, its alfred easy to smile and
bubble over with good cheer when
everything is coming your way.
When a m an is in easy circum-
stances he can pay up promptly
he can set 'em up and even get
gay if he wants to, but then is not
the time to pass judgement upon
him, for anybody can be a good
fellow on easy money, and can look
the world squarely in the face and
never bat an eye. But it is
different when a fellow is on his
uppers and everything he touches
turns to rust. It's pretty hard for
him to smile when he walks down
the street and every other man he
meet shoves a bill in his face
which he wants to pay but can't ;
when every man who owes him a
dollar goes broke, stands him off
or leaves town. The true test Of
the man does not come when he is
riding en- a cushioned seat on the
top wave of prosperity and the
gentle breezes are waiting soft
strains Of music to his ears and
sweet incense to his nostrils. Any
kind of shoest-ing sport can smile
then. Wait until you get into the
mud knee deep with a heavy cross
across your neck. If you can
smile then and be a good fellow
you are the genuine article, blown
in the bottle, all wool a yard wide
and foot thick.-Exchange.

TURNEL|NG' UNDER RIVERS

There are now many great rivers
with tunnels under nem. Even
when one is sunk to such a depth
and carried SO far along as the
one under the Hudson at Storm
King for the new aqueduct il
sxcites only a moments wonder.
Such tunnels are generally driven
under the water on the same plar,
and that plan was taught to an
engineer by q worm. The first
attempt to make a tunnel under a
river Of aay size was the Thames
tunnel in London, which was built
by the famous engineer Brunei.
He had so much trouble with the
water that oozeed through that he
came near giving up the job az
impossible when he happened to
see a piece of rotten wood into
which a worm had bored under

LIVING CORPSE
PUZZLES DOCTORS

A Giving corpse" is what con-
fronts the medical authorities OF
Ikaterinoslay, Russia. Since
March of last year a Russian
named Moissejenko has been in a
lethargic sleep. The man was
charged with train robbery and
murder. When he learned that his
mistress had betrayed him, his
fear Of the death penalty became
- intense that he dropped un-
conscious and all efforts during
the many months have failed to
rouse him. To all appearances he
is dead. The movement of the
heart is barely discernible. Dur
ing all this time he. has been fed
through a tube. He seems to hear
everything that goes on about him,
but needles. not irons or electric
shocks have no effect upon him.

BATTLES;HIp NEVADA

of champagne over the bows of the
hattleships Oklahoma and Nevada,
the latest additions to the United
States navy, and these vessels slide
down the runways into the seas,
there will be f1oated the greatest
wardships ever constructed, or
building according to the belief of
officials of the navy department.
Powerful in armor and the only
vessels of the kim in the world to
carry three fourteen-inch guns in
the one turret, the ships will
represent the best thought of both
branches of the service and will
mark the elimination of the rosiest
dreams of shipbuilders.
When the New York and Texas
were authorized it was thought the
zenith Of modern battleship build
ing had been almost reached, but
since the acceptance of the plan
for the Oklahoma and Nevada
authorities now see even greater
ships are possible and the novel
method of construction and arma-
ment will start development along
new lines.
Not only will the Oklahoma and
Nevada be as speedy as. but they
are so designed to give a better
account of themselves in all direc-
tons, in any engagement in which
they may participate, than others
in the navy.
These latest vessels will be 500
tons heavier than their immediate
predecessors, the New York and
Texas, their length over all to be
583 feet; beam 95 feet 2-S inches,
mean draft % feet inches, on
which will be displacement of g.
500 tons. The engines of the two
new vessels will differ, the Curtis
type being used on the Nevada
and the reciprocal engine being
used on the Oklahoma. The esti-
mated speed will be 2Oa knots.

advantage. Stability and mobility

ment of guns. The ideas will be
carried out in the Oklahoma and
Nevada. The belt armor is con-
sidered by naval officials to be one
of the most important sections of
battIeship for it is this that must
he relied upon to prevent pro-
jectiles from striking vital blow
to vessel-in the magazines,
boiler or engine rooms. This belt
line on the Oklahoma and Nevada
will be 17s feet in width, and at
the mean draft will extend 9 feet
above to 8 feet below the water
line. This will have the rnpreced-
ented thickness of 13a inches and
will extend 400 feet along each
side of the ship. At it's after end

just above the water line, as has.

building heretofore, the armor
plates on the new battleships will
be laid vertically and without a
joint at the water line. lis de-

able point.
Two protective decks will afford
excellent protection against plung-
ing fire and against fragments of
shells which may be exploded in
passing through the ships tin
plating in the wake of the gun
deck.
The lower protective deck will
be ID inches thick on the fiat,
which will slope along the sides at
a junction with the bottom of the
armor plate 81 feet below the
water line. On the deck above
the gun deck will be an upper
protective deck three inches in
thickness.
The armor protection of the
main sun poGtions also will be
massive in character. The bar
bette armor will extend with a
thickness Of thirteen inches from
the turret down to the upper pro-
pective deck and from the lower
protective deck the thickness
will he reduced TO d inches this
because of the thirteeE-inch pro-
lection of the side armor. The
turret armor also will be massive.
The port plate will be sixteen
inches in the two gun turrets and
eighteen inches on the three gun
turrets. and the side and rear
armor will be between eight and
nine inches in thickness, while the
roof will carry five inches of
amor.
The armament of the Oklahoma
and Nevada will consist of ten
fourleen-inch guns carried in four
turrets.. One three-gun tu:ret,
then two-gun turret. On the
quarter deck will be a two-gun
turret and astern of taat three
gun turret. This arrangement, it
is declared at the navy department,
will give a concentration of fire
much superior to that Of the New
York and Texas, which will be
mounted with five two-gun turrets
when completed -.
The fourteen inch 45-caliber gun
is far more powerful weapon
than the 54-caliber twelve-inch
gun mounted on the Delaware and
the North Dakota. The. muzzle
energy of the twelve-incb piece is
about 49,000-foot tons. Its shell,
which weighs l,400 pounds, as
COMPARED with the 80 pound shell
Of tho twelve-inch, carries a much
larger bursting charge of high
explosives and therefore will be
more destructive.
Both battleships will be of the
oil burning class, the supply
being carried in the double bottom
Of the ships. The use of oil will
eliminate the necessity for coal
bunkers and tho space generally &C.
cupied by these will be used in the
concentration Of the ships boilers,
thereby necesstating but one smuke
stack, an unusual feature for ships
OF the kind.
The Fall River and United
States shipbuilding companies,
which have the contracts for the
construction of the vessels, are
expected to begin work on them
within few weeks. - Exchange.

PLAY OR PANDEMoNIUM7

The present series OF baseball games
for the worlds championship raises
again the question which has for years
been gaining urgency, whether our
athletic sports, particularly baseball
and football. are play or pandemonium.
It is natural that there should be APP
plause and cheering, and when many
thousands Of interested spectators are
gathered at game such expressions "
sentiment are swelled to a tremendous
volume. But that Is not all that now
occurs. Indeed, spontaneous manifesto
tions of admiration for clever play, or
Of delight at the favorites' winning,
are now q comparatively insignificant
part of the tumult which is made on
the grandstands and "bleachers."
Instead, we have wholesale and per-
sistent efforts, calculated and organ
lied, and in some cases rehearsed and
practised In advance, to interfere with
the players and to affect the progress
and result of the game with all man
ner of vocal violence, often reinforced
with mechanical devices. Not only are
there concerted choirs OF raucous
voices, but also megaphones, rattles,
drums, and last week a brand new
electric noise machine" and all these
are worked to the utmost to confuse
and rattle" the nerves Of the oppos-
ing players. In not a few cases, un-
less the observation Of reporters was
wrong, they have had this effect and
have caused misplays and the losing Of
games.
Now, whatever may be thought OF II
as matter of department and man
ners, that Is not fair as matter Of
craftsmanship. Interference with
players in games is Invariably consid-
cred foul play, and often forfeits the
game to the victim Of 1t. 1t ought TO
be recognized that vocal interference
can be made and is at times made just
as foul as physical interference The
player is compelled to contend not
merely with the opposing player but
'also with the hostile and malicious din
Of the crowd. He has to stand against
storm of ridicule abuse and even
threats, calculated to distract his mind
and to impair the efficiency Of his play.
1t is not fair. 1t is not sportsmanlike.
1t is discreditable TO those who prac-
tise ii. 1t ought to be abolished for
the sake Of the good repute Of Ameri-
can sports and American manners.
The ball ground should be made a
place Of fair play and not Of ruffianly
pandemonium.

THE EASTERN EMPIRE.

There Is doubtless much truth In the
remark Of our London correspondent
that the great danger Of the Balkan
situation lies in the fact that the inter-
ests Of Austria and Russia are antag-
onistic and irreconcilable. For many
years it has been an open secret that
Russia coyets Constantinople. She
wants, that Is to say, the control of
the straits which connect the Black
Sea with the Mediterranean. Such
control is obviously Of incalculable i'm
portance to her. 1t would give her the
outlet for which she has been seeking
and striving ever since the days of
Peter the Great and 1t would give her
that outlet, and inlet also, Lot merely
IN connection with some remote Asiatic
province. but In immediate connection
with her most populons and most in.
dustrial home provinces. The ports on
the Yellow Sea and the Persian Gulf
for which she has so vigorously con-
tended would be uncomfortable trifes
In contrast with the ownership of the
Bosporus and Dardanelles.
But there lie remorseless opposition
