THS OFFICIALBEPOBT OF TTTAKIC On Tuesday, May 28, the senate com mittee delivered its official report to the United States senate, a report with speeches covering between thirty and forty pages of closely printed matter. It ia a most exhaustive declaration and made with remarkable exactness and patient caretaking. When one recollects that 157 women and children and 1.380 men went down to a watery grave and that everybody was feeling absolutely safe in an un sinkable ship five minutes before the Titanic collided with an iceberg and plunged to the bottom of the sea, the story as related seems to outdo fiction and strains one's imagination to com prehend the catastrophe. The name of every passenger, their address, at home -or abroad, is carefully given, and .the labor of compiling all this data must have been immense. This official report lays the blame on the dead captain, and there was also a current story that this officer had been a guest at an elegant dinner party giv en by the rich Wideners, of Philadel phia. and had taken too many stimulat ing drinks. Mrs Widener fortunately survived, while her husband was drown ed. and she testified before the chair man of the committee that Captain Smith touched no liquor of any kind — Indeed he asked that all glasses should be removed from his plate. We should be gratified that the horror was not in tensified by having a drunken captain aboard But the poor man is dead, and not here to speak in his own defense. - Chairman Smith visited the Olympic, «the sister ship of the same line of boats, yreeking the head fireman of the sunken -Titanic, who gave him sufficient infor jnatfon to show that the iceberg had cut a long straight gash in the side of the Titanic, and this head fireman was down tn the Olympic hold—24 feet before the ■level of the sea while he was giving the testimony He saw the water burst through this long straight gash—twenty feet below the sea level and a mighty torrent rushed in. and filled the compart ments before the partitions were auto matically closed. The designer of both the Titanic and Olympic was aboard, and lost, and he had claimed that two of those compart ments could fill with water and not impair the safety or speed of the ship. However, the head fireman was able to say that he saw five compartments fill almost Instantly. When the fireman looked at the orders tn the fire-room, it said ’‘full speed.” There were 24 boilers out of the 28 mak ing steam, and at no time during *the voyage was the speed so great as on that Sunday afternoon—nor so many boilers in use. Instantly the water-tight compartments were closed but the death stroke had been given and the ship was already filling with water, for four bulk beads had been torn open—and there was more water aboard than any ship could carry • The gay multitude were eating, drink ing. dancing, card-playing forty feet above the head fireman—and he had to run for his life—to reach a life-boat. That was the reason so few of the steerage passengers were saved. One or two wit nesses testified that the water was an Inch deep, when they stepped from their berths to the floor. There was no chance left, but those few boats that hung aloft from the davits, and it also appears that there were but few among the crew, that knew how to manage them, after the boats were afloat. As soon as the Titanic rushed into the tee-field the temperature became sud denly cold. Orders were sent down to guard the fresh water, to keep it from freezing. , They also hustled around to unlock the heater compartments, to warm the officers ’ quarters, and the chart room, because of the intense cold. ; It does ssem that there was enough so thia freezing temperature to indicate danger from ice floes even before sev eral ships sent out wireless warnings that icebergs were plentiful. (It was the undinkable ship that at tracted the great crowd of passengers and the crew held the same opinion, so everything failed while they felt most •ecure.) A passenger testified that she saw the quartermaster take the temperature at o'clock before the ship struck at U p m., and he had only a small paint can to do it. and failed, so he dipped .the bucket In some hydrant water on FREE TO ASTHMA SUFFERERS A g«w Hem* Cere That Anyone Can Use Witb eat Discorafort or Lcs» of Tuns.

The captain and Mr. Ism>y both said the blow was seri ous and dangerous. The truth is, the Titanic was a great steel shell, built in a hurry, and not properly equipped with skilled seamen. It might have made the first trip safely If it had not struck an iceberg, but it is proven to be a poor piece of work, and was advertised as tne ver?’ best and latest thought in ocean liners. • There were 1.234 passengers on the ship. There were lifeboats enough to care fol 1,176. but only contained 704. 12 of them taken into the boats out of the water and the weather good with a perfectly calm sea.

NO WOMEN LAWYERS FOR GEOR GIA. According to the latest declarations of the Georgia Bar association, we can jnot tolerate women lawyers any more iin this old Empire State of the South, but, thanks be to the Giver, such declarations are, like the declarations on the subject of slavery, *befo' de wahl” ’ I have heard speeches defining the slavery status, in which smart men were absolutely certain that slavery was here to stay, because slavery was a divine institution, recognized by the Bible and the natural condition of the African race. It made these smart Alecks very an gry to differ with them. You were coolly admonished to educate yourself and follow your leaders! But, "allee samee,” the slavery ques tion was settled in spite of such tor rents of argument, and it does seem queer that we did not see the end from the beginning before the deluge was on us. It is just the same old error, illus trated by this woman question. Women are going to vote before long and then women lawyers will be as common among us as women doctors. That there will be some sorry lawyers among women goes without saying, but ' they will not be more common than | sorry men lawyers are known to be. * v It makes me tired to hear. dogmatists talk about what will be and what won’t be in this free country of ours, as if the world was pushed along by their efforts and in their own ways. God reigns and progress marches along to a recognized plan and princi ple of omniscience, and if these wise acres could only look ahead a dozen , years or more they wounld see that their decrees are brutem fulmen, and only indicative of their own assumacy and I may say, impudence. Women lawyers are coming, and don't you forget It! RICH MEN TO RULE US. POOR MEN ARE INELIGIBLE. I may be a pessimist—grown into an old fogy—or you may think I have a grouch (but I haven’t) —when I say 'to you in all candor and frankness, that the money part of politics haa Become very alarming to me. i We are gravely • told that men com bine together, pledge much money— . sign for certain amounts and put for ward candidates for governor. ete., with thousands of dollars thus staked on the final result. if their man wins it means to them gain in profit and power, and with •■much money it means fierce effort to win—at all hazards. No poor man can expect to serve tns people of Georgia—any more —in tne governor’s chair, and it simply stands tor rule or ruin—to a candidate, for that high office, when he enters tne race squarely. Just as I know that mammon in tne church will ruin the spiritual power of the pulpit and the pew, so do I under stand that fought offices will eventual ly merge into tyranny and the corrup tion of our -citizenship. The evil Is so glaring that It speaks for Itself. The man who Is elected by pledged money, will belong to his backers, nothing plainer, and this means the purchase of offices, both great and email, until the backers get their money back. • And the old south will be merged, into a new south, where money does the work and the story of old Home s decline and fall will be repeated In the old south where ability and rec titude once went together hand in > hand. I hate to believe that I shall leave old Georgia, so much worse than 1 found It three-quarters of a century ago. "but you may write it down in your ledger that the glory has de parted when our elections are based and built on money. It was a tragic revelation when a gubernatorial candi date had to get down and out because His backers went back on their signed contracts.

NEW YORK, June 14.—Revelations of the amazing intricacies of the Rus sian secret police service whicu covers every point on the face of the earth where revolutionaries may gather to plpt, came fast in the federal building yesterday at the examination of Leonid Menshjkiff, a forxner chief tn that service. Menshikoff is being examined in the suit brought by Alexander M. Evalenko, a New York business man, against Vla dimir Bourtzeff, editor of a Russian revolutionary organ in Paris, and wide ly known as "the Sherlock Holrfies oi the 'Russian revolutionaries.” When Bourtzeff came to this country two years ago he accused Evanenko of being a Russian spy. Evalenko sued Bourtzeff for SIOO,- 000, alleging slander. Menshikoff, call ed as a witness, has revealed for the first time the inner workings of the Russian secret police bureau. The police, the former chief said, con stantly employs at least two spies in New York. In European capitals their number is legion. The spies pose as revolutionaries. But the revblutionists retaliate by introducing their own mem bers into the secret police in order to be forewarned of every contemplated ac tion. Menshikoff was a revolutionary serv ing In the secret police and rose to high rank. He had access to the fa mous "black book” in which are kept transcripts of reports from all spies. He made copies of many pages of this book. "Why did you enter the Russian se cret police when you were a member ot the social revolutionary party?” Men shikoff was asked. “Because I was betrayed. I was ar rested in 1886. Some man of our band was a traitor, hired by the government of , the czar. I wanted to discover the identity of this man. I succeeded in that purpose. But I remained in the service so that I might keep the revo lutionists informed regarding the spies sent to entrap them.” In speaking of the methods of the secret, police Menshikoff said there was at one time in Paris, posing as a revolutionary, a man called Harting Heckelman, who was really the "agent provocateur” of the secret police. He committed such acts as the- “planting” of dynamite in the homes of patriotic Russians with the result that the po lice unearthed It there and they were sent to Siberia. Heckelman has uot been heard of for years, said the wit ness, and at the time he disappeared he was head of the Russian secret po lice in Paris.
