BESSEMER NEWS

Bessemer, May 27.-(SpeciaL)-The ne- gro who was killed by cave-in of sev- eral feet of loose earth yesterday after noon has been identied as Will Johnson. At the time of the accident .he man was working in a 14-foot ditch on Ninth ave- nue, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, making connections to the sani- tary sewer and the man lived almost an hour after the accident, while large crew of rescuers worked to reach him in time to save his life. The groans of the man could be heard by the rescuers as they worked but few minutes before reaching him the groaning ceased and they found him dead. All efforts to resuscitate him were of no avail and he was removed to the undertaking estab- lishment of Huey 6 Mcconnell. The res- cue crew was organized by Chief of Po- lice Thomas Benton, assisted by c. L.. Gaines and representatives of the City Plumbing company.
 Plans are being made by the merchants of Bessemer for a celebration which will be held on June 5, registratio day, and while the plans are immature at pres ent, a committee was busy yesterday calling on the merchants, who assured them that they would lend --aancial aid and assist in the work. On Monday an- other committee will make the rounds of the merchants and solicit funds for hiring band and other amusements. A number of prominent speakers will be asked to address the gathering, patriotic Iarades and demonstrations will be mapped out.
 Several of the registrars have asked that everyone assist in making the ne- groes of the town acquainted with the provisions of the registration law. Little interest in the conscription law has been taken by the negroes and number Of them do not think they are included in the call. There will be about 300 ne- groes to register. The various merchants are assisting in this work by telling their negro customers of the law and J. A. Snider of the Grand theatre Is running a slide asking that the white people assist in this way.

Chairman Shipping Board Comments on Speech of Goethals Before Meet
 ing of Steel Men

Washington, May 27.-Replying today to Major General Goethals' declaration that the shipping boards wooden ship pro- gramme entrusted to the general. is hopeless, Chairman Denman of the board issued a statement declaring that with the most successful steel building cam paign possible there still will be need for 1000 wooden ships.
 Referring directly to General Goethals' speech at a dinner in New York Friday night MT. Denman said:
 We believe that the committees of Congress- and not public dinner with the head of the steel trust are the places for the discussion of matters of policy with regard to shipbuilding."
 HAS BUT ONE PURPOSE
 "The shipping board has but one pur- pose in its activities in Washington at the present time, said Mir Denman, that is, to use its utmost endeavors and powers to defeat the submarine campaign of the German empire. No person, nor any interested group of capitalists, can get any one of us into a controversy with General Goethals, nor do we think the general is seeking it.
 If all the ships that can be built with in the next Is months are built, there still would be need for 1000 wooden ships to make good the deficit in our merchant tonnage, though the German rate of de- struction is reduced to half that estab- lished in the month of April I do not know whether 1000 wooden ships can be built in IS months. There vas a nope expressed that we could, and I have care fully avoided denying the possibility of realizing of this hope My reason for not denying it is because 1 do not care to have our German enemies in Berlin re- ceive that amount of comfort l can state. think, that General GoethaIs is of the same point of view with regard to the Germans. Every attempt to make it ap- pear that there Is disruption between General Goethals and the board is add ing to German comfort and assurance ''
 MONEY FORTHCOMING
 Of General Goethals' statement that the treasury has made no effort to sell $50, ,000000 worth of Panama canal bonds to provide funds for the board S work, MT. Denman said:
 Every request we have made to the treasury for money has met a quick re- sponSe. It was not necessary to sell Pan- anna canal bonds to obtain money, and General Goethals must have been under some lmiSapprehenSion in regard to this matter. I have deep faith that the re- sources of the American and allied naval officers and inventors will destroy the submarine. Until that time we must keep tEe allies fed and munitioned with fleets constantly diminished by the torpedo
