DID ALL THAT
MEN COULD Do
Berry of the Nantucket Defends
Himself and the Officers and
Crew of His Boat

Baltimore, Feb. 3.-The steamer
Nantucket, which was in collision
with the steamer Monroe Friday
morning, docked here yesterday. In
a written report to officials OF the
Merchants and Miners Transporta-
tion Company, Capt. Berry said that
while the Nantucket was on her
usual course fog signals OF a vessel,
afterward found to be the Monroe,
were reported ahead. The fog was
low lying and at times clearer than
others. The fog signals OF the Nan
tucket were sounding at regular in
-tervals. The fog signal of the Mon
roe again was heard and this time on
the Nantucket's port bow. The next
whistle she heard from the Monroe
were two blasts, which indicated
that the Monroe was trying to pass
the Nantucket starboard to starboard
contrary to the rule.
Capt. Berry said in an endeavor to
avoid collision with the Monroe.
the Nantucket's helm was put hard
aport to keep the right, but the Mon
roe proceeded at full speed and tried
to cross the bow of the Nantucket.
She succeeded in getting partly past
the Nantucket's stem when the ves-
sells collided, the Nantucket's stem
striking the Monroe's starboard bow
forward of the pilot house at right
angles.
The Monroe passed under such
great speed, according to Capt. Ber-
ry's report that the stem of the Nam
tucket was bent sharply toward the
starboard side and the Nantucket
slowed around so that her port side
was scraped by the Monroe, crushing g
one of the Nantucket's port boats.
The Monroe passed on out of sight.
At the time of the collision the Nan
tucket's engines were running at
full speed astern and had been
Arunning for some time previous to
the collision.
Cdpl. Derry TepOTl COHIIuueS DIS
follows:
The Nantucket appeared serious
ly injured, but was meneuvered to
aid in the work of rescue, continual
ly using her searchlight. Wireless
communication was established and
several vessels offered assistance, the
first to arrive being the Hamilton
which conveyed the Nantucket to
Norfolk.
The relief squad attending the
passengers was increased by those
who could be spared from attention
to. the navigation of the Nantucket,
and under careful attention those
suffering most from the collision
were removed with the exception of
one man, who. after great effort,
could not be revived, and, also Mrs.
Harrington, who died after she had
been assigned to a stateroom with
her husband and all possible care
and attention given her.
1T can be established that the
steward, stewardess and chief engi-
neer worked necessarily in an effort
to aid and revive Mrs. Harrington.
There was no attack made by Mr..

AN EQUITABLE
TAX ASSESSMENT
assessors of the State Think that
Fifty Per Cent Would be a.
Fair Average

Jacksonville, Feb. 3.-The Me-
tropolis of yesterday says:
In convention in this city today
the county tax assessors of Florida
adopted the report of a committee
recommending the assessment of real
and personal property at so per cent
OF its real value
Roll call showed the following as
SCISSORS present: n. D. Wainwright,
Bradford county; w. H. Hall, Bre-
ward county; w. o. Geiger, Clay
county; J. F. Jaudon, Dsde county;
A L. Turner, Duyal county; G. H.
Lovett, Franklin county: A. F.
Green, Hamilton county; S. E.
Sparkman, Hillsborough county; j.
d. Bailey, Jefferson county; w. r.
Coulter, Levy county; Alfred Aver,
Marion county; S. w. Manucy, Mas
i>sau county; Arthur T. Butts, Orange
| county; j. NJ. Owens, Palm Beach
county; G. F. Bullard, Putnam eoun-
| ty; F. c. Poppell, St. Lucie county;
Robert Robinson, Santa Rosa coun-
| ty; c. D. Manucy, st, Johns county,
and S. B. Wilson, Volusia county.
Mr.. Jaudon placed in nomination
/ S e. Sparkman as permanent chair
men, nomination following by acela-
nation.
Mr.. Sparkman, probably the old
est county assessor in point of ser
vice in the state, briefly outlined the.
purpose of the convention. He sta
ted that the assessors had been cali
ed to meet in order to adopt a uni
| form compliance with the new state
law governing the assessment of real
and personal property at 100 per
cent of its real value. The purpose
of the convention was, therefore, not
to cause strife, but to reach an equit-
able conclusion as regarding the
| matter
A. L. Turner was subsequently
nominated for secretary of the con-
vention, and selection of the Duval
county assessor followed
Alfred Aver of Marion county,
thought it would be of some advant-
age to have the chairman of the
state tax commission, William NeeI,
present. Whereupon A l.. Turner
stated that he had received a tele~
gram from the secretary of the com
mission, Mr.. Trammell, stating that
the chairman was absent from Taf-
lahassee.
Mr.. Wilson, of Volusia county, in
troduced a resolution for a uniform
application of the new tax law. The
resolution provided for the appoint
ment of committee of FIVE to be
charged with the work of setting
forth what figures should appear on
the tax books in, order to reach an
equitable assessment of property
throughout the state.
The resolution was adopted, and
Chairman Sparkman appointed Mr..
Wilson of Volusia county; Mr.. Coul-
ter. of Levy; Mr.. Griffin, of Madison:

/ sin here and now. Christianity IS not
merely something to die by, it is some
thing to live by. How many people
there are in the world who are wearing
themselves out in useless worry and
unrest; they are dissatisfied with them
selves; there is friction in their lie;
they are out of tune with the universe
And the reason for it all is, that they
refuse to let Jesus dominate their lives
The thing that will best bring mar
mOny into the lives of men and the
world about them is the religion of our
Lord.
Christian Resists Temptation.
1t is the best to live the Christian
life also because it enables one best
to meet LIES temptations and trials
All men are tempted; all men have
trouble. But for 10 centuries the world
has been learning that no man can face
temptation, and no man can bear trOu-
bic, like the Christian. The Christian
armor has been tested and tried. And
while it is true that many Christians
do not use their armOr as they might,
this is their own fault and loss, and
argues nothing against the promise
that God will not suffer US to be
tempted above that we are able, but
wiE with the temptation also make a
way Of escape, that we may be able to
bear it" It is a pathetic thing to see
men try to meet LIES Universities and
sorrows without the comfort and stay
of a strong religious faith. They Sor-
row as those without hope" But how
different it is with the Christian:
That soul that on Jesus hath leaned
He viii not@He will not desert to His
foes:
That soul though all hell should en-
deavOr to shake,
He'll never-no, neYer-no, never for
sake"
Right Living Has Its Influence.
But the above considerations are
more or less selfish. Not only for per-
sOnal reasons but for the benefit we
may be to others, makes the Christian
life most desirable and satisfactory.
Every one has his influence. No man
lives wholly to himself. We are our
brothers keeper. In 6he home, in
school, in society; in business, on the
street, we are daily touching others
with our influence Surely we want to
help and not harm, to lift up and not
push down, and therefore our charac-
ter and life and influence should be
the nOblest, purest and best-and that
is Christian.
TO live right is to die right. cit is
appointed unto man once to die" and
while the unchristian man who fOrgets
God and his commandments may seem
to prosper in his life, that man has
no peace or comfort in his death. To
die without hope; to go down through
the valley OF shadows" with no word
of comfort or cheer-whO wants TO die
like that2 How much better the posi-
tive Il know of the true Christian.
He can say with Martin Luther Into
Thy hands, o Lord, I commit my spirit"
or with the Psalmlst;
Yea, though I walk through deaths
dark vale,
Yet will I fear no i'll;
For Thou art with me and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still"

SOFT FOR cARUso

Girard in the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 When George Westinghouse invented his air brake, he said to 8 railroad of- ficial who helped make the original tests: I've got something that will work for me while sleep
 Just so with Caruso when he walks into a small, unfurnished room and sings into a hole in the wall. I am Informed on what I accept as good authority that royalties on his photograph records this year will reach $50000.
 His voice to the tune of $1000 a week works for him while waking or sleeping. No other human being has been able to capitalize his or her voice to such good purpose
 The photograph has put the voice upon a sound commercial plane along with the hand that points a fine picture or the brain that conceives a great poem. a novel or history. Book royalties go beyond the grace, and the heirs of Raphael, had they continued to keep his paintings. would now have a fine income.
 But until few years ago the human voice. whether of the statesman, lawyer, preacher, singer or actor. perished at the moment of death. For the heirs of the singer the phonograph goes on earning money long after he has ceased to sing.

American Dreadnaughts

At time when doubts are being ex- nressed as to the efficiency of the American army and navy, it IS com forting to read an article on United States dreadnaughts contributed by a British naval expert to the Navy, the official organ of the British navy. The writer, Maurice Prendergrast, says that with the completion ot the dreadnaughts California, Idaho and Mississippi, in 1918, the United States will have the most powerful squadron in existence, consisting of seven su- per-dreadnaughts.
 ''With perhaps the exception of the Japanese Fuso," writes MT. Prender- prast, mo dreadnaught among the fleets in active service can compare with these new American ships in the matter of size. They will probably be the largest afloat for many years aIJer Inelr cOihpleoioh' i''S ' past ten years the design of Ameri- can battleships has shown remarka- ble standard of excellence. It was clearly recognized in the very first United States dreadnaughts that plain broadside fire was of more practical value than heavy end-on fire at odd angles. After all navies had tried various methods of mounting big guns. the American centre-line plan had to be adopted. For neatness of design the United States ships are a striking contrast to some dread naughts whose minor details seem to have been shoveled on just where they will fit. American designs have not been reared in the. stifling at mosphere of secrecy; straight and honest criticism has gone far in the production of some of the finest war ships afloat." .
 
 opinion is worth something should prove soothing to the alarmists. The United. States, like England, must de- pend chiefly for defense on its fleet, and recently announced plans of the government indicate that Uncle Sam will not let the navy deteriorate. There will doubtless be an increase also in the size of the United States army. People who have been having bad dreams lately, inspired by dread of European invasion sometime in the future, should banish their fears and sleep peacefully, sustained by the thought that they are not entirely un- protected from possible "Germaniza- tion." ~
