TO PROBE SINKING
 OF THE TITANIC
Will Introduce Stringent Measures to Compel Ships to Carry Enough
 Boats to Save all Passengers.

Washington, April 17.-Survivors of to Washington to tell a committee of Congress the facts concerning the in- ability of the steamship officials to save the lives of all the assengers. Representative Alexander of Missouri, chairman of the House committee on merchant ,marine and fisheries, an nounced today an invest.gatien in which the passengers will give chief testimony.
 A resolution will be introduced in the Senate probably today to direct the Commerce Commission or sub committee to make a thorough probe of the Titanic tragedy and to empow- CT the committee to summon witness es and take any necessary steps.
 As supplement to the congressional investigation, Secretary Nagel will take up at once with President Taft the entire sUbjecs of safeguarding ocean travel by more stringent Am erican shipping regulations. It is be- lieved that laws will be prepared at once in Congress, based on the ad- vice of officials of the Department of Commerce and Labor and American shipping experts, that will insure safety to passengers and crew in cases like the present, where ample time existed for their removal on the life boats.
 The congressional investigations an- nounced by Chairman Alexander and Nelson of the House and Senate com mittees will probably result in the summoning of officials of the White Star Line to state what precautions for safety are taken on their ships.
 "There could be no greater motive for stringent legislation than the fate of the host of passengers whom the lifeboats of the Titanic could not car ny to safety" said Representative Alexander.
 Government officials charged with the enforcement of the shipping laws and regulations we're engrossed today witE the subject of safety and pros2c- ton for trans Atlantic travel.
 It is expected that immediate re- forms will be demanded officially by the government and will be enforced through new laws, requiring all yes sells entering Ameril Il ports to carry sufficient apparatus to remove all pas sergers and crew in time of emer- gcncy.
 President Taft is taking keen por- sonal interest in all features and pro- pc, cd regulations.

Realizing set in and the gossip Of the market was that several large lines of long cotton were being fed out. The weather forecast promised more favorable weather, which stim- ulated profit taking by the bulls. The predictions were for fair weather everywhere in tie belt eX- cept Georgia and the Carol mas, sections that have not complained so much of rains as have o'cher DOT tions of the cotton belt.

A PulIet That Laid an Egg a Day for
Seventy-two Days.

According to the current issue of
Farm and Fireside an interesting egg
laying contest has been going on at
Mountain Grove, Mo-, under the aus
pices of the Missouri State Poultry
Experiment station. In this contest
one white Plymouth Rock pullet laid
an egg day for over seventy-two
consecutive days, which is probably a
world record for continuous egg-pro-
duction. The highest individual rec
ord made during the first seven
months Of the contest was 156 eggs
laid by pullet. The twelve highest
records for the first seven months
were made by pullets laying all the
way from 156 eggs each down to IA.

| The gallant Sikhs had thrown them.
selves into squares and in this forma
ton for a time resisted the desperate
charges of the English cavalry just
] as stubbornly as 6le British infantry
had resisted the French curaissIers at
Waterloo.
Again and again did the Sixteenth
lancers sHlve to break through the
masses of the Sikhs, and again and
again scores of saddles were emptied,
and the British were beaten back with
slaughter. AS the lancers got close
enough to deliver their thrusts their
weapons would splinter like match
wood upon the stout shields of their
swarthy foes. Suddenly an inspiration
came to the troopers.
Without receiving any orders to that
effect, but as If controlled by unanf
nous impulse, they shifted their lances
to the bride hand and charged In
once more. The Sikhs, entirely UMPIRE
pared for this sudden ana mastery
maneuver, received in their bodies in
stead of on their targets the spear
points of the horsemen.
Into and through the squares swept |

as their tunics. Even so, 1t is record |
