CARLIN ONLY CANDIDATE.
Will Pc Declared the Nominee of the
Party at Committee Meet
ing Monday.

Today at noon was the last day
for the filing OF names Of candidates
who desired 70 participate IN the
Democratic primary for Congress
from the Eighth Congressional dis
trict. According to the ruling OF the
committee which met in Alexandria
a month ago candidates were required
to file their names with Raleigh T..
Green secretary of tho committee, at
Culpeper, by noon today. According
TO q telegram received at noon from
Mr.. Green, Mr.. Carlin'S name was
the only one presented. and he will
therefore be declared the nominee Of
the party.
Tn district committee vii! meet in
Alexandria next Monday at the Office
of G.. l.. Boothe. at four o'clock p. m.,
when Mr.. Carlin will be formally de-
clared the nominee. 1t is not thought
that Mr.. Carlin will have opposition
in the general election, as the Re-
publicans, so far, have failed to make
any nomination.
1t is extremely gratifying to Alex
andrians to know that Mr.. Carlin will
have no opposition, as he has been
most active in the interest of this
c;tv as well as that of the entire Sth
district. He is one of the hardest
worked men in Congress, and during
the four years he has been repre-
sentative has never been able to take
a holiday. His work in Congress-
! has made him a national figure and
ne has some of the most important
committee assignments in that body

Today Before Justice at New Ro-
chelle.

Fishkill-on-H Hudson, N. u, April q.
For the first time since June H.,

ford White, today took an outing. He
was driven down to the railway sta
tion here today, and taken to New
Rochelle, where Justice keOgh was
to pass on the new appeal for his

Thaw has grown fat and aged
greatly during the years he has been
an inmate of the Matteawan Asylum
for the Criminal Insane. As ne stood
on the station platform in charge OF
Dr.. John ". Russell. Superintendent
Of the asylum, his appearance con-
trasted sharply with the salIow COM
plexioned young man OF few years
ago.
Today Thaw weighed fully 1877
pounds. He was garbed in well worn
dark suit; wore derby hat Of the
fashion of three gears ago, and his
nose was adorned with glasses, which
gave his face rather strange ap-
pearance. His hair WAS quite grey
and ne seemed 20 pay little attention
to his surroundings.
Dr.. Russell and the two attendants
refused permission to talk with the
noted prisoner, and as Thaw stood or
the platform placidly gazing into
space. while he smoked a cigar he
carefully concealed any interest in the
group that watched his actions. About
fifty people gathered about the plat
form and watched Thaw. until ne en-
tered the rain. The rartv went to
Tarrytown by tram and there took a
trolley car 20 New Rochelle via
White Plains. Mrs. Tnaw Har!yS
mother, did not accompany him, but
went over to New Rochelle last night.

clared to a United Press corresponds
ent today.
"The question of such lights aiding
in navigation is debatablc, but in the
case of the Titanic. it would certainly
have been Of the greatest assistance
in picking up ice
"Battleships are equipped with four
or more Of the powerful lights, and,
while these are used principally III
night torpedo defense OF practice
manuevers, they are frequently utI-
lized to aid in night navigation.

Grated by all experienced officer, other

ton. The rays are so binding that
care muse be taken not to flash them
recklessly on other ships
Knapp said that the Titanic lnVes-
tigation had proved to him that an
officers should be better schOoIed.
"Thess officers of the Titanic went
to sea when they were in their teens
and have only practical knowledge
of steamship navigation, engineering

they have been associated. ne de-
