SECONO FUNERAL
SHIP IN HALIFAX
Minia Arrives With Seventeen
More Bodies of Titanic Vic
tims—Search Continues.
HALIFAX, May 6.—With her flags at
talf-mast as indicative of her mournful
mission, the cable ship Minia, which
succeeded the Mackay-Bennett in the
search for bodies of the Titanic disas
ter victims off the Newfoundland
Grand Banks, arrived in port to day with
fifteen corpses on board. Seventeen
bodies in all had been picked up by the
Minia, but of these two were buried at I
■ea.
Among the .bodies on board the ship |
was that of Charles M. Hays, late pres- ;
Ident of the Grand Trunk railway.
The Minia landed at the same gov- ,
emment pier as had been used by the ;
Mackay-Bennett when she brought her I
burden of 190 corpses into port. The ;
coming of the Minia, which had been •
announced in advance by wireless, oc- <
casioned little excitement and only a I
handful of persons were at the dock to i
welcome her.
Half a dozen hearses and ambulances
were drawn up in line at the pier when
the ship was warped in and no time
was lost in getting the bodies off the
vessel and on their way to the morgue
in Mayflower curling rink. There was
a heavy police guard about the pier.
Captain DeCarteret of the cable ship
reported encountering heavy weather.
He said this would render more diffi
cult any attempt at rescue of corpses
which might be made, in the future. He
further reported seeing great quanti
ties of ice. Stevedores worked all night i
at getting the government ship Mont
magny ready to sail this afternoon to
continue the work of looking after ■
bodies. Despite the information from i
Captain DeCarteret that the work of
rescuing of further- corpses is next to
hopeless, tin White Star Company de
cided to make another effort. The
Montmagny was the only sea-going
vessel available.
The government steamer Is expected
to make a search along the edge of the
gulf stream, covering, before her re
turn. an area of 100 square miles.
Two Bedies 45 Miles Apart.
The Minia had arrived off this port ;
early, in the morning, but made the I
final stages of the journey very slowly.
The captain said that he got into wire
dess communication v ith every vessel
in range, asking them whether or not
they had sighted floating corpses. If
the answer was in the affirmative, the
location was asked. The last two bodies
picked up by the Minia were 45 miles
apart.
The burial litany over the remains of
the two dead buried at sea was read
by the Rev. Mr. Cunningham, pastor of
St. Georges Episcopal church. The
clergyman and Undertaker William R.
Snow were the only two persons on the
ship aside from the members of the
crew.
A special car was brought here for
the body of Mr. Hays. It stood, draped
in black, in the Intercolonial yards for
several days.
Killed by Exposure.
That exposure caused the deaths of the
majority of the Titanic victims picked up
by the rabieship Minia was the state
ment made here today by the Rev. W. H.
Cunningham, who had accompanied (he
ship on her search for corpses and to
officiate at any burials made at sea. Os
seventeen bodies picked up by the
Minia. sixteen had perished from exposure
and no water was found in their lungs.
This indicated that many passengers on
the ship could have been saved if any
relief vessel had been near at hand when
the Titanic went down.
WOMEN PUT DIAMOND
RINGS IN COLLECTION
FOR MISSION WORK
MACON, GA.. May 6.—Two women
put their diamond rings in the. col
lection basket at the close of the fourth
annual Macon Bible conference at the
city auditorium last night, being moved
by the eloquent appeals for contribu
tions to a missionary fund. Rev. T W.
Callaway, the presiding minister,
sought unsuccessfully to ascertain the
names of the donors of the rings, and
then presented the jewels to Rev. S. T.
W. Troy and F. W. Snyder, of New
York, but they declined the gifts. The
diamonds will be sold and the proceeds
used for missionary work A demon
stration was caused in the audience
when the minister held up the rings and
announced their collection.

When a farmer commits his cotton to a bonded ware

graded by the official graders of the United States
Government. And he doesn’t have to take anyone's
word for it. The graders are right there for him to
see.
This is one of the many advantages possessed by mem- j |

Sends Police Charging Mob
in Automobiles.
SHAMOKIN, PA., May 6.—The most
serious violence in the anthracite fields
since the suspension of work' began
broke out at Mount Carmel today. A
detachment of armed state police was
rushed to the scene from their barracks

power automobiles
Pennsylvania railroad trains running
between Shamokin and Mount Carmel
n ere held up by idle miners who went
through the cars questioning the work
men if they were employed in.anthra
cite mines ana what their duties were.
Most of the men admitted that they
were employed as fire bosses and
watchmen in mines where the men had
quit work.
Those who admitted violating the
union order to quit work were hauled
from the train and badly beaten The
rioters placed huge, stones and logs
on the railroad track so that the train
could not proceed.
By the time the state police arrived
a crowd of nearly a thousand men and
women had gathered, most of whom
were onlookers In one attack every
window in a work train was broken.
Anthracite coal companies have re
quested the state to put a strong guard
of state police throughout the coal
fields for strike duty.

Turn the rascals out —the headache, the biliousness, the indigestion, the
sick, sour stomach and foul gases—turn them out tonight and keep them
out with Cascarets.
Don’t put in another day of distress. Let Cascarets cleanse and regu

that misery-making- gas; take the excess bile from your liver and carry oft
the decomposed waste matter and poison from the intestines and bowels.
Then you will feel great.
