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

Titanic was a great steel shell, built in

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

SPIES ALWAYS IN NEW YORK
(By Associated Fiess.)
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.
