LORD DENIES
(cOntinusd from FIRST Page.)

NO" said the captain, but we got
1t from the Virginian about 6 o'clock
the morning Of the 18th"
What is the speed OF the Californ-
ian?"
About IL knots ordinarily" said
the captain. I'VE made 13I9 when
we were going to the Titanic"
When you told the Titanic you
were surrounded ~ ice, how badly
were you surrounded?"
The witness said the field was about
rs miles long and several wide. The
Californian. he said. was about a
quarter mile from the edge OF the
foe.
What did you notify the Titanic
for?"
AS q matter OF courtesy entire
ly."
Senator Smith asked the witness
how long 1t took the Californian to
get TO the scene OF the Titanic dis
aster. He read from the log to show
that at six O'Clock they started for the
scene. cleared the thick ice a half
hour later and under full steam drew
alongside the Carpathia at $3.50.
] III you had received the Titanic's
distress call Sunday evening, after
your communication with the Titanic,
how long would it have taken you to
reach herr"
AT the very least two hours. under
the ice conditions"
No interference.
Captain Smith denied any one had
tried to prevent his attending the In
quiry. He stated his wireless opera
tor was not on duty all night. but
thought IL might be a good idea to
have a night operator.
The captain was asked by Senator
Smith whether he had seen any dis
tress signals and he said no.
When ] came on the bridge at
1890 Sunday night" he said, the
officers there said he thought he saw
a light. II was.a peculiar night. and
we had been having trouble with the
stars. mistaking them for lights.
Finally a ship did come up and /
asked the operator n he had heard
anything. and he said. he had had the
Titanic and given the ice message.
Then this ship anne up and lay with
in four OF five miles OF US. She lay
there all night nearly. but refused to
answer the wireless. Soon after 4
O'Clock she steamed away. This boat
sent up several white rockets, but
they were not distress signals. I"
The first news hat reached me OF
the disaster" said the officer, was
shortly after 5 O'Clock Monday mora
ing. when the Franfurt reported that
the Titanic had sunk after hitting an
iceberg"
Al 4.iO that morning the virginian
sent word Of the collision. Captain
Lord said. following II by a second
message asking that word Of the ex.
tent Of the damage be sent her. Cap
tain Lord was then excused.

TO START CAMPAIGN
FOR HARVEST
HELP
The Great Northern Canvass
Shows that 24,870 Men
Will be Needed Soon.

That 24,s7o harvest hands will be
needed in Montana, Minnesota and
North Dakota has been ascertained by
the Great Northern railroad COM
pany's nva of the situation. Re-
sarding he help situation for hand
ling the grain this fall the St. Paul
Dispatch has the following:
With the harvest season only a week
or two distant, railroad officials and
managers of labor agencies are bend
ing every effort to induce laborers to
start for the harvest fields. Thus far
their efforts have met with little sue
cess. and those in position to know
assert that the prospect of harvesting
the biggest crop the northwest has
ever known are discouraging.
Alarm Felt over Situation.
In some circles there is a feeling OF
alarm over the situation. Labor has
been very scarce all summer. Railroad
contractors have beer forced to pay
higher wages this Year than ever paid
before, but even with this inducement
the supply has lot been equal to the
demand.
Railroads Offer Most.
Inasmuch as h roads are Offering
better wages thar are being offered for
harvest hands. as indicated by the ad-
vance reports received by the Great
Northern railway. the outlook for suf-
flcient men to harvest the crops ID
rather gloomy.
Need 24.s7o in Three States.
The Great Northern has just COM
pleted a vanetaoinMeen
pleted a canvass Of the situation along
its line. through the medium of it's sta.
ton agents and a summary shows
that 24.S70 men will be required in
Minnesota, North Dakota and Nom
tana.
Wages Vary Greatly.
The station agents also reported the
estimated age which the farmers in
their vicinity would offer. and the
time when harvesting would start. The
wages vary from $1.5O to $3.50 a day.
In some sections it is reported that
crops will be ready for harvest as
early as July 20. while in others Aug
ust 25 is set as the time.
j.. d. McDermott of McDermott's
labor employment agency, is author
itS for the statement that in his twen-
N years Of experience he has never
had so few inquiries from laborers for
positions in the harvest fields. He at
tributes the scarcity to the great
amount of railroad construction work
in Canada.
No Reduced Rates.
Thus far h railroads have not con-
sidered the matter of granting special
rates TO the harvest fields. No rates
have been made for the last five years.
To Begin Publicity Campaign.
The Great Northern Immigration
department will begin a publicity
campaign at once. throughout the
east and south. to get men to go to
the fields. The Northern Pacific and
st. Paul roads are now gathering data
on crop conditions and the number of
men required along their lines, and
they will Join in the publicity CAM
paisn next week.

put 1T Is true that the treatment ac-

Motorists in Winnipeg have to obey
the automobile laws to the letter, say
the returned travlrs. Even in the
residence districts. in this city, the
traffic boobies are stationed at the in

the auto driver attend strictly to the
business of plotting his machine as the
law demands.
