LIFEBOAT'S PATH
Hundreds of the Dead Floated
About as Rescued Rowed to
Safety, Says Morris.
LONDON. May 10—A graphic pic
ture of scenes that accompanied ’he
■inking of the White Star liner Ti
tanic. giving a new viewpoint to a tale
already told many times, was painted
today for the British government's
court of inquiry uhirh is investigating
the great t»a horror
Frank H Morris a baker of the lost
ship, told hov foreign steerage passen
gers were prevented from rushing the
lifeboats how sixteen persons were
saved from a collapsible boat as it
was sinking and how the lifeboat in
which he was rescued passed among
hundreds of human beings floating In
the water in Its path, while only three
of them cried out for help. Morris'
explanation was that he supposed the
others were either dead nr unconscious,
being buoyed up by their lifebelts
When the inquiry was resumed In the
London Scottish Drill hall, with Lord
Mersey presiding, Sir Robert Finlay,
chief counsel for the White Star line,
asked leave to postpone his cross-ex
amination of Charles Hendrickson. 1 hies
fireman on the Titanic, who had been
on the stand when adjournment was
taken on Thursday
Sir Robert explained that he would
like to question Hendrickson later, but
first he would like to Interrogate offi
cers of the Titanic who were due to
arrive at Queenstown during the fore
noon. Lord Mersey granted the re
quest
Men Brave as Boats Went Off.
Morris' story w in part as follows:
"When 1 went upon the boat deck I
■was told to help get lifeboat No. 11
away. There were a number of worn
en by the boat and there was hardly
any excitement at al! as they entered.
Not a man tried to bet Into the boat
They stood bravely by and bnde fare
well cheerfully to their wives and fam
ilies who put off In the boats.
"I was ordered Into lifeboat No 14
by Fifth Officer Lowe, to help man the
oars Some foreigners tried to rush the
Jioat. but Lowe drew his revolver and
fired half a dozen shots, which sent
them scampering back There were 53
women and children tn our lifeboat
when it swung over the ships side
"We pulled away from the vessel, but
as there was plenty of room In the boat
it was decided tQ go back We met
tome other boats that were not full,
and transferred some of our passengers
to these boats It was mighty ticklish
work. too. for the women had begun to
grow excited.
Sa w Many Bodies Floating,
“Then we pulled back toward the
wreck. On the way we passed a col
lapsible lifeboat which was so crowded
that it was awash and would not have
lasted much longer. We took eighteen
persons out of that boat in our own.
"The ship went down while we were
rowing toward it Soon we were pass
ing among many bodies. There must
have- been hundreds of them. All were
held up by the brand-new lifebelts
which were bucWed around their bod
ies, and t. re drifting slowlv with the
current Only three of them called out
for assistance I suppose the others
had become unconscious from the ice
cold water. It may be that they were
dead We rowed around for a while,
then.set off after the other boats."

Savannah Peeved by
Governors Thrust at
"Artillery Punch* 4
SAVANNAH, GA. May 10.—Savan
nah has be»n slandered —un!nt**rtlonal-
ly, of course- -by Governor Joseph M.
Brd\A n. After his trip to Savannah to
meet President Taft and attend the
Hibernian centennial dinner, the gov
ernor told the people of Atlanta that
tb e celebrated Chatham artillery punch
was missing from the banquet board,
and that he suspected it had been put
on the shelf with other hisrh explosives.
t. Randolph Anderson, representative
In the legislature from <’hatham coun
ty. who was in Atlanta a. day or two
later. confirmed the statement of the
governor.
The fact remains, however, that the
seductive and insidious concoction that
has so man' notable victims to its
credit is as much a Savannah institu
tion as c.V' r - However. it has nevej
been considered good form to offer the
Chatham’s own brew at banquets like
that of the Hibernian society.
RICHLAND WINS ITS
RATE FIGHT AGAINST
SEABOARD AIR LINE
The state railroad commission has
pronounced the intrastate freight rates
to Richland, In Stewart county, dis
criminatory. and has ordered the Sea
board Air Line to nut Richland on the
same basis with Dawson. Americus. Al
bany and Columbus.
Richland Jumped into the competitive
point rla: t '- recently, when the Georgia,
Florida and Alabama railroad reached
the town The Richland Board of
Trade complained of freight rates to
the commission. The order lowering
the rates was the result.
The cut was fought by the Seaboard,
the Atlantic Coast Line, the Central of
Georgia and the. Southern. While only
the seaboard was directly interested,
other points subject to similar condi
tions will doubtless petition the com
mission for reductions

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
STATE HE LIVED IN
Another Young Man Confused
the Name of a City With
That of a State.
A young man who should have known
better said he never could remember
whether Philadelphia or Pennsylvania
was the name of the state He knew
that one was a city and the other a
state, but his mind was always con
fused as to which was which. Still, he
wasn’t as had off as the young man
who lived in Providence, but didn’t
know what state It was in He might
be excused, however, on the grounds
that his state is so small that ft could
easily be. lost
No. there is no reasonable excuse for
either. They were both born tn this
country and had what is known a-s a
"common school" education. They- may
have been proficient in other studies,
but they had undoubtedly neglected
their geographv lessons.
Think of such ignorance in this land
of free schools! It can be overcome,
however, and The Georgian's Atlas
makes this possible. It need not be
studied, for study would doubtless be
lost on these young men. But this At
las should be used as a book of ready
reference. It is of conventent size, and
in addition to maps of every country,
state and district tn the entire world, it
gives the population and a description
of al! the principal cities in the world.
These, as w ell as other special features,
are set forth 1n such form that you can I
get the degfred information at a glance
Six first-page- headings clipped from
