12 BODIES GLttD 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."

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 STRAWBERRIES KI!

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.
