spirit in which it sets out on the quest
is expressed in this suggested want adj

Appalling California Accident

Long Beach, Cal, May 24.-Too weak
to uphold the burden Of nearly 10000
human beings assembled for the fes.
Invites of British Empire Day" the
land end of the big double.decked mu.
nicipal pier in front of the city audi
torium collapsed to-day. Hundreds of
persons on the top deck were plunged
down on the heads of other hundreds
crowded on the second deck. The
lower deck then gave way, and all we're
dropped down a chute of shattered
woodwork to the tlde-washed sands %
feet below.
Thirty-three persons, mostly women.
were killed by the shivered timbers or
crushed to death by the falling bodies
of companions and friends. Fifty more
were seriously injured. while hysteria
and pa~ralyzing fright disabled scores Of
others.
A section of the auditorium also went
down in the crash and the debris from

on top Of the injured and the dead. The
victims were subjects or former subjects

v A PRESS COMMENT

Nevada Democrats Enter Protest
The Nevada Democrats are evidently
in the same mood that the Appeal has
beer for some time in relation TO Sena-
tor Newlands and the tariff questions.
His recent statement to the Demo-
cratic people and to the State in gen.
eral is evidently not up to the standard
that they wished before the election
last Fall. Reno and Carson Democrats
have filed their protests with the Presi-
dent. and il is probable that the Senator
has heard something before this. Tele-
grams. literally signed, containing the
following desires. have been forwarded
to both Senators Newlands and Pitt
man.:
"Gentlemen-The foremost desire Of
Nevada Democrats is that our Senators
shall actively help the National admin
istration to carry out Dur party platform
pledges and to secure general reduction
of the tariff without contention or dis
cord over local interests"
The wording of these kilograms will
undoubtedly meet the approval of the
Democracy Of this section Of the State
Carson Appeal.

To prevent such mistakes. some prep.

INCREASED SAFETY AT SEA

In a summing mp of what has been ac-
complished as a result of the loss of the
steamship Titanic in the way Of increas-
ing the safety Of life at sea, the Marine
Journal says: In the first place. the
theory that ships are absolutely unsink-
able under every condition has been dis
PEELED. On the other hand, however,
they are being built infinitely safer and
less liable to sink than they were when
this belief existed and when the Titanic
was laid down, while they are also OPP
Grated under much safer conditions. Ii
is now compulsory that q wireless oper-
ator be kept continuously IN duty on all
vessels equipped with this invention.
Had this been the law before the I'll.
tanic was lost. the Californian would
have gone to her assistance almost i'm
mediately beyond a doubt. because her
wireless operator would have received
the formers distress call first instead of
being asleep in his bunk. The double
skinned steamship with transverse
bulkheads extending to the upper deck
is another result of this disaster, the
Titanic's sister ship. the rebuilt Olympic
being the most striking object lesson of
that improvement. The ice patrol to be
maintained by both Great Britain and
the United States is another factor for
safety that would perhaps have saved
the Titanic had it been in existencs
then.
All seagoing vessels are now equipped
with life boat capacity enough to &C.
commodate everypassenger and all MEM
bers Of the crew. The larger ships, too.
such az the big Cunarders and the new
Imperator. will carry a commodore and
three staff captains. which will enable
one Of these skilled navigators always
to be oil the bridge. another factor for
safety not to be nnderestimated. It
was no small undertaking to bring about
these practical reforms and to reject the
many impractical changes urged by an
hysterical public. The task has been
accomplished 80 far with the result that
. maximum Of safety ut sea has now
been reached which was not dreamed of
10 months ago. In other words. the SER
vices that can be accomplished by wire.
less, double-hulled vessels. l~ife-saving
equipment and careful navigation in
dangerous zones are now applied as they
never we're before and doubtless never
would have been but for such q lament.

PRESIDENT OENOUNCES LOBBY
Wilson Tells Newspaper Cores
pondents of Array Now Must
cred At Washington to Fight
the Tariff

Washington, May 26.-President VIII
son told the White House correspond
ents to-day that he believed the most
extraordinary lobby ever gathered by
special interests TO overcome proposed
legislation was now mustered at the
capital against the tariff bill.
The President said he had no doubt
that q few so called lobbyists were
there on legitimate errands, but that
the great majority were occupied In a
systematic Misrepresentation Of facts.
While the President believes that the
lobby opposition is concentrated against
free sugar and free wool. he is not sp-
prehensive that it will be successful.
The President made it clear that he
believed scientific business methods and
efficiency would overcome tariff cuts
and that with the application of scien.
tiic methods Louisiana not only would
be able to continue in the sugar indus
try, but would do so proftably.
The President later issued the follow.
ing statement:
II think that the public ought to
know the extraordinary exertions being
made by the lobby in Washington to
gain recognition for certain alterations
of the tariff bill. Washington has eel
dom seen so numerous, so industrious,
or 80 ii sid:ous a lobby. The newspapers
are being filed with paid advertisements
calculated to mislead the judgment not
only OF public men, but also the public
opinion of the copntry itself. There Is
every evidence that money without limit
is being spent to sustain this lobby and
20 create an appearance Of a pressure OF
public opinion a~ntagonistic to some OF
the chief items of the tariff bill.
at is of serious interest to the coun-
Try that the people at large should have
no lobby and be voiceless In these mat
ters, while great bodies Of astute men
seek to create an artificial opinion and
to overcome the interests Of the public
for their private profit. 1t is thorough
ly worth the while of the people Of this
country to take knowledge Of these
matters. Only public opinion can check
aud destroy it.
"The Government in all it's branches
ought to be relieved from this intoler.
able burden and this constant Interrupt.
ton to the calm progress Of debate. l
know that in this / AN speaking for the
members of the two Houses, who would
be rejoiced as much as I would to be re-
leased from this undesirable situation. "

Forty-ive whales, yielding $3.50. 600.
were killed during the frst five weeks
of the whaling season in the North Pa
cifo. Butt is represented that if whales
are decimsted the millions of herring
that now stay close TO the shores to es-
cape the predatory big fish will venture
into deep water. the salmon. which live
on them, will follow. and the salmon
industry will be menaced, il not ruined.
This is as bad q complication as any
dreaded by manufacturing interests
from tariff reduction and obviously
points to the need Of prohibitive tariff
of some kind on whaling for the protec-
tion Of salmon fishing.

Upton UNABLE TO BUY
OLD WASHINGTON HOME
Sir Thomas Wanted to Send
Sulvrave Manor to America
as n Gift.

IoNpoN. Nov. I3.--SIr Thomas Upton
made an attempt recently to purchas"
Sulgrave Manor. the family home Of
George Washingtons ancestors in Eng
land with the intention OF taking it apar;
and having II set UP again stone by stone
in The United States as his gift to Amer
lea.
Sir Thomas and an American friend
were motoring through Northamptonshire
when the American suggested that they
visit Sugrave Manor Sir Thomas fell
in with the idea and the two spent all
III" rest Of the day trying to find the
place. No one seemed to have any idea
of the location of Washingtons ancestral
home. The searchers ran into II acci-
dentaly. Sir Thomas Upton was then
struck with the idea Of presenting it to
America
I'm buy H." he said. "and have good
workmen take II to pieces carefully.
present it to the United States and have
IT erected in Washington. New York or
any place that may he selected, 80 that
the original home of Washlngton's an
cestors may be easily viewed by Amer!-
cans. shall send over workmen to erec,
il exactly as II stands now"
Sir Thomas opened negotiations and
made an offer OF $4,000 for the house
but the committee arranging the centen-
NAL of peace between England and the
United States rejected the plan without
Offering an explanation.
Sulsrave Manor remains therefore in
England remote and almost inaccessible
but on its own grounds.
