The firs' pictures showed Lie best way to handle a u actable and an in tractable victim of the water. The pic tures and instructions to follow will explain in detail every step in the "first aid” treatment. Here are Pro fessor Weems' instructions today: By PROFESSOR WEEMS. Whether you carry the victim to land by swimming or in a boat, if Ito i« unconscious fast, precise work is necessary to save his life. First, lay him on his face, lock your bands around his stomach ami give two or three quick jerks, lift ing him at least two feet high, wbicli will force the water from the breathing passages. This is nece’sa y before aitiflcial respira tion can be begun with any hope of success. The old plait of rolling a person on a barrel was for this purpose, but it is not near as good. After all the water has been re moved from his body, the actual, work of restoring respiration is be gun. There are two ways to do tills, though in both cases a bartel, some clothing or othe object must be put under the patient's chest to raise that part of his body higher titan any other. Probably the ear-t< st plan is to ia> the person on his fate, put the bundle under his chest, then grasp him about th* waist, betwo n tlu? hip bones and the ribs and squeeze vety tightly This will contract the chest and force the air front his chest, which finds an unobstructed passage, for, with his Jtead down t face first, his tongue will hang out anil not interfere with his breath ing. Vfter fmcing all the air pos i sihle from his lungs, release your i hold on hi- waist and this allows the chest to regain its natural posi tion. much larger than when com j pleased, and pulls fresh ait into It Can Be Placed On Back. 1 This exeo ise should bo repeat ed from fourteen to sixteen times a t minute, or about as rapidly as a pet sop naturally breathes, a'i the - time making sirm no dirt gets in I the pntien:'- mouth to prevent a I free pa-sfg- of air.

June 4.—Although J. Bruce | Istmay, managing director of the In -j ternational Mercantile Marine, was ■ sclteduied to be the star witness at the board of trade inquiry Into the Ti tanic disaster today, there was a mea ger handful of spectators present when the sitting was resumed after a two wee ks recess. The first witness was Alfred Craw ford. first bedroom steward on the Ti tanic, who testified that many women refused to leave their husbands. In particular he mentioned Mrs. Isadot Straus, who died in her husband's arms. Crawford was in charge of a life boat. He said after leaving the sinking ship his boat proceeded towards a light about seven miles away. The position of this light, as the witness gave' it. did not correspond with the position of | the liner Californian, which was alleged j to be nearby at the time. Calls Titanic American Ship. Mr. Ismay followed Crawford on th* stand. This was his second inquisi tion relative to the disaster, his first j story having been tcld under fire when Hie was before the senatorial commit tee in the United States. Lord Mer '.■ey‘‘. presiding officer at the investiga tion, asked concerning the nationality of the Titanic. Ismay replied that in reality she was an American ship al though site could nm lie registered as such because, she had been built in . Great Britain. Mr. Ismay recalled vaguely that on Sunday, April 14. the day of the dis aster, .Captain Smith of the Titanic had handed him a Mareonigram about lunch time, sent by the Baltic, and re ported ice in the steamer line. The witness said he glanced casually through the message, put it in ills pocket, then forgot it. He had no con versation with Captain Smith about it, he said. Puts Responsibility on Captain. The witness exonerated himself by declaring that the captain was respon sible for the navigation of the ship. "I did not attribute any importance ‘ to tile ice warning." said Ismay, “it is presumed that the captain did not, cither, for the vessel did not. slow down after it was received. If Captain Smith was able to see far enough ahead to steer clear of the floe, he was justified in going at full speed.” The witness was reprimanded by Lord Mersey and by Attorney General Sir Rufus Isaacs several times for giv ing vague answers.

Everybody arojind and about the Kimball house lobby this morning- in cluding the regular contingent <>f chair warmers—was talking about Ed Brown’s new baby. Ed Brown didn't care a' whoopee about that. Ho was fn such a good-natured frame of mind that he actually went around and shook hands with all the chair warmers. and invited them to call agafn and make themselves at home, any ol'd time! Then he invited them all over to In spect the hotel register. And there, under date of Sunday. June 2. was reg istered “Edward Brown. Jr., assistant manager. Kimball house. Atlanta, Ga." Edward, Jr., i.ame at 4 o'clock Sun day morning. Edward. Jr., was not unexpected, al though. to be sure, there was a deep and abiding terror-in Big Ed's heart that he might be Edwina. The young man's arrival unquestion ably is a matter of concern to th* trav eling public in Georgia, and particu larly to the politicians who congregate most in the Kimball house when there is something doing. Big Ed already has outlined the po litical status of Little Ed. The young man is to be a Hoke-" Li ttle Joe"-Wat son-Felder-Ho well-Gray- Bryan-Wilson-Under wood - Roosevelt- Taft Democrat, with liberal Republican leanings. Rig Ed doesn’t intend that. Little Ed shall miss anything worth while in this world, political or otherwise, that is coming Little Ed's way. Little Ed weighs nine and one-half pounds and bids fair, so Big Ed says, to develop into a rattling good political speaker, with a voice of conspicuous carrying qualities. "They ought, to change the name of Peachtree street." said the man on the coiner today. "Why, and to what?” asked his chum. “You’ve come home from your trip all swelled up with knocks.” ' They ought to cut off rhe tree and call it Peach lane," said the returned traveler. "Just look at that parade. "I've stood on every main corner in these United States since I went out selling goods, but, honest, there's no place like home when it comes to girls. I've watched the Creole belles step de murely down Canal street, I've seen Nashville's college girls turn from Fifth avenue into Church street; I've stood at Main and Madison and watched Memphis women hurrying out to the race track: I've seen the Easter parade on the Avenue in New York; I've mixed up in the State street crush An Chi cago, and I’ve adt.stred the Quaker beauties on Chestnut street in Phila delphia: but. believe me. as a fancier of some note. I put. the blue ribbon on Peachtree street on any sunny after noon." “So that's why your neck is sore," ms friend came back. “Thar's why you put in an hour every afternoon on. this corner." “Sure." said the traveler. "Why Waste good coin on matinees or sigh for the musieal comedy season to open again? You can see more pulchritude in Peachtree in half an hour than the Shuberts and Klaw X- Erlanger could round up in a. week. And clothes!

Hayes, city building inspector. Ar chitects and contractors of each ot the schools will accompany him on these investigations. Within a few days Mr. Hayes will submit a detailed report of the defects in each of the schools to the board of education and rhe Imnd commission. The architects and the contractors will then be called upon to refnedy these de fects. if they refuse, the whole matter will be turned over tn Gity Attorney Mayson with instructions tjtat he sue for their bonds. City officials have changed their at titude. They no longer consider th* school scandal as a "tempest in a tea pot." The evidence brought out at the meeting of the board of education and the’ bond commission showed conclu sively the most glaring defects. Schools Too Cheap, Says Candler. While the architects and contractor? have been principally blamed for the situation, the statement of Alderman .John S. Candler that all the schools were built too cheaply throw? a great part of the responsibility back on the supervising city official?. “ This is not the time longer to dally about what officials are responsible <o.r this bad condition.” said Colonel .R. Daley, president of the board of edu cation. ’’We must get to work and have these schools repaired and require the architects and contractors to pay.” Plan Referendum On School Tax. Councilman Aldine Chambers has come to the rescue of the board of ed ucation on the plea of the members that they were hampered in their work bv lack of authority. He introduced a resolution in council providing for a special school tax not to exceed five mills to he apportioned and expended solely by the board of education. The resolution was referred to the council committee on charter amend ments. Rut the resolution .provides that the voters of Atlanta, be allowed to adopt or reject the new tax by refer endum.
