IMPERATOR EXCELLED TITANIC
The Imperator was launched at Hamburg, Germany, May 13, 1912, in the presence of Em
peror William, who stood sponsor for the giantess. The Imperator has been in commission less
than three months, having left Hamburg o her maiden voyage to New York on June 11 last.
Disaster to the great ship so soon after her construction instantly brings to mind the fate
of the great Titaic which sank on her initial voyage. In comparison, however, the specifica
tions of the Imperator are more imposing than those of the Titanic. The dimensions of the
Hamburg-American liner follow:
Length 919 feet.
Beam (width) 98 feet.
Gross tonnage 50,000.
The Imperator’s bridge is 90 feet above the water, and her three gigantic funnels extend 69
feet above the upper deck. Her masts extend 24 6feet from kee lto truck.
Wireless apparatus sufficiently powerful to transmit messages 1,500 miles, was installed on
the lner, and she carries three wireless operators on every voyage.
She is equipped with five mighty anchors, one weighing 26,445 pounds, two weighing 1,636,
and one 11,463. Her kedge anchor weighs 4,960.

given up for (lend. It wan presumed
that they were overcome by smoko
and fell Inlo the flarfies
Soon the entire fire-fighting appa
ratus of the ship was in action, and
tons of water were being hurled upon
the burning portion of the vessel.
When the woodwork of the second
cabin ignited, word was sent to the
pier to summon the land firemen, and
ti genera! alarm was turned in to the
Hoboken Are department.
The land force was soon on the
scene, and several high-pressure
streams were added to the fight.
Second Officer Dies Hero.
Acts of heroism mingled with acts
of..cowardice during the worst of
the tire. The hero of the disaster was
Second Officer Herman Gerbracht.
This brave seaman voluntarily gave
up his life while struggling to close
the fireproof doors to confine the
flames to the provision room, or the
fifth deck, as It is termed.
Gerbracht was equipped • with a
helmet'supplied with oxygen from
pumps on the outside. The seamen
who were working these pumps de
serted their posts lr. a panic of fear.
Gerbracht might have staggered to
•afety, but he clung to Ills task until
be dropped and was roasted to death.
Seaman Otto Stumpff and another
sailor, who were with Gerbracht, also
perished.
Many firemen were burned by being
swept off their feet by a back draught.
All the freight which had been
brought over on the voyage ending
here last night was in the ship's hold
and the efTorts of the ship's officers
were redoubled by knowledge that loss
of the cargo would add at least $L-
OO0.000 more to the damage.
Origin of Fire Mystery.
The origin of the fire Is a mys
tery. Captain Ruser expressed belief
that the llames hud been burning for
some time before discovered. It was
possible that they had ignited about f
o’clock or sooner.
The Hamburg-American Company
ordered a rigid investigation.
In telling the experiences of .his
men. Fire Chief Gavin, of Hoboken,
exclaimed:
"It is a w'onder any of us are alive.
That ship is the most complicated
thing inside we ever saw."
Fire boats bringing firemen from
New York City were rushed to the
scene, not only to light the blaze upon
the Imperator, but to prevent the fire
from spreading to the crowded ship
ping in the district.
The loss of life probably would
have been heavier but for Chief Ga
vin. Captain Ruser ordered a num
ber of seamen into the seething pro
vision room to search for bodies, but
Gavin would not let them go.
"You arc sailors, not firemen, and
von don’t know how to protect your
selves.” said the Hoboken chief. "I’ll
send some experienced men ’’ He did.
Here Are Some of
Imperator’s Wonders.
The Imperator. which was the
greutent ship ever built, had been in
service only a few months. Ji com
pleted its maiden trip across the At
lantic on June 21 last. It was a ver

To Lead Freak Calf
Through Tick Zone
If a common calf can carry so many
million cattle ticks, how many cattle
ticks can find lodging on a six-legged,
four-shouldered, double-backboned calf?
That’s the conundrum which worries
I>r. E. M. Nighbert, Federal inspector
of tick eradication and cattle trans
portation In Georgia.
And It Is the conundrum which has
smashed the plans of Edward J. Sey
mour, of New York, who entered At
lanta the other day leading his calf on
a walk from Florida to the Pacific
Coast.
Seymour took his freak calf down on
Dfccatur Street and exhibited it. Dr.
Nighbert came around and learned that
Seymour Intended to lead his calf
through the very heart of the cattle tick
territory. Aghast at the possibilities
should the ticks develop a fondness for
the animal of many parts. Dr. Nighbert
established a quarantine
He told Seymour he might ship his
calf by rail through the Infected dis
trict and then walk all he cared to, but
he could not lead the calf through me
millions and trillions of ticks.

trial, the Solicitor proposes to have
the strands of evidence eve/i more
strongly woven than they were at the
first trial. The investigation is con
tinuing with almost the same vigor
that it did in the early days of the
mystery, except that only three de
tectives are working on the case now.
They are Bass Rosser. J. N. Starnes
and Patrick Campbell.
Frank Aids Counsel.
Whenever a report comes to the
Solicitor’s office of any new evidence
it is investigated by the detectives
with the same care as it would have
received before Frank was condemned
to death. It is regarded as likely that
Dorsey will have a number of new
witnesses if another trial is granted
the convicted man.
Frank, apparently as cheerful and
optimistic as he was before the twelve
jurors voted him to hang, is assisting
his attorneys in picking out what he
considers the weak points of Solicitor
Dorsey’* case against him. With a
mas* of clippings and court tran
scriptions before him, he is boiling
down the moat important testimony
of the trial and noting the various
phases of the investigation as it pro
gressed. Incidentally, he is preparing
a statement in reply to the -closing
argument of the Solicitor w+ilch he
has described as ‘ as full of holes as a
sieve.”
The prisoner Is being made com
fortable at the Tower during the
period that he is awaiting final dispo
sition of his case. A new bed and
some other furnishings were brought
there, and Franks quarters were
thoroughly cleaned and renovated.
The prisoner’s wife and his mother
visited him during the afternoon, his
wife remaining until nightfall. His
mother will return to Brooklyn within
a short time, but probably will be
back in Atlanta when the arguments
for a new^ trial are made October 4.
Solicitor Dorsey has no doubt that
an indictment against Conley as ac
cessory after the fact will be returned
by the next Grand Jury. The indict
ment will be the first thing that will
be brought to the attention of the
Grand Jury when it meets the first
week in Sepember.
Discharges Jury Which
Tried to Indict Conley.
The Grand Jurv which took up the
question of indicting Jim Conley, ac
cuser of Leo Frank, over the protest
of Solicitor Dorsey, will be discharge.]
Friday by Judge George L. Bell, of
the Superior Court. A new Grand
Jury will be sw’orn in next Tuesday.
It is significant that the Grand Jury’
which sought to indict Jim Conley
will not have the opportunity to in
dict him as an acknowledged acces
sory after the fact In the murder of
Mary Phagan.
Judge Bell is expected to return
Thursday while his colleagues, iludg«-
Pendleton and Judge Ellis, will return
in time for the new term which be
gins next Tuesday.

General Manager Declares By-
Laws Were Passed to Force
His Resignation.
»!
That putting up to the General
Manager of the Park Department *the
duty of reporting to General Council
members of the Park Board who miss
two consecutive sessions is simply an
attempt to keep him in hot water is
the charge made by General Mana
ger Dan Carey. This duty is pre
scribed ^n the new r set of by-laws
drawn up by the rules committee of
the Park Board, and which is expect
ed to be adopted at the next board
meeting.
Under the charter of the board, a
member who fails to attend two meet
ings automatically loses his office.
The new by-laws put the duty of
taking this matter up with Council up
to the General Manager.
“Why, they are trying to get me in
all sorts of a stew and get me at outs
with every- member of the board,”
commented Mr. Carey. “There Is also
another little catch which provides
that no one can have leave of absence
without permission of the board. The
way the rule is worded, I could not
grant any of the park employees an
hour off without making myself liable
to impeachment.
"Regarding- the rule providing that
no supplies or materials may be pur
chased or that any permanent im
provement may be made without first
getting the permission of the board,
this simply places another stumbling
| block in the way of rapid and eco
nomical work. For Instance, the con
crete gang was at work at Piedmont
Park a few days ago. While it was
there I discovered that a set of con
crete steps were needed at one place,
and instructed the foreman to build
them This was done at the “lowest
possible cost, but under this new rule
I would first be compelled to wait
until a meeting of the board to get
| permission for it. The result would
be not only delay to the work, but a
j much greater cost.*' •
President J. O. Cochran, of the
j Park Board, denies that the new rules
; were drafted with any intention of
forcing Carey to resign.
Time and tide met informally for
the first time at Long Beach the oth
er day when Miss Lillian Loraine, in
a natty bathing costume and with a
waterproof watch fastened to her an
kle by a gold circlet, took a plunge
into the surf before the admiring
throngs. Atlanta society girls are
considering taking up the fad.
Never before in the history of the
beach have people been so interested
In time. The men especially showed
the keenest Interest even when time
was submerged by the rolling surf
and when 1t cantered up and down
the long white beach there was a
craning of necks which would have
done Justice to an aeroplane meet.
But “who should worry?”—Miss Lo
raine didn’t, for she was bent on
proving beyond a doubt what she ha^
solemnly declared to be true—that the
watch was waterproof. She proved it
—at leant, to the satisfaction of the
Long Beach crowd.
Dignified Governors
Stay Late For Tango
COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. 28.—
Well, the tango isn’t such a naughty
dance—if you want to take the opin

for it.
The State executives who are in
convention here looked at a tango ex
hibition last night. They looked long
and critically. At the conclusion of
the danoe there were encores. Also
more encores. When the tan goers
were too tired to respond to more
encores the Governors gravely an
nounced that “although we had noth
ing like that in our time, this tango
dance looks very, very interesting.”

His one desire, he says, is to find the
real murderer, and prove his own
innocence. A-2 he asks is a chance.
During his term of service in the
Federal prison at Atlanta Bram be
came known as the “smiling prison
er,” and Warden Mqjrer says he was
one of the greatest powers for good
in the institution. His case attracted
a great tdeal of attention, and many
firm friends were enlisted in his cause.
It was due to their efforts that his
parole was signed in Washington last

If you have allowed your fear of
calomel to keep you from toning
up your liver when it gets a little
sluggish and lazy—try Dodson’s
Liver Tone, and note how quickly
and harmlessly it starts the liver
and relieves constipation and bil
ious attacks.
When you take Dodson’s Liver
Tone, you do not have to stay in
the house all day. None of the
weakening and harmful after-ef
fects of calomel follow' its use.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a mild,
pleasant vegetable liquid that can
not hurt either children or grown
people. Yet it easily overcomes
the most stubborn and inactive
liver without making you quit eat
ing or working.
These are not just claims. All
druggists back up every one of
these statements and agree to re
fund the price of Dodson’s Liver
Tone with a smile to any person
wffio pays his 50 cents for a bot
tle and Isn’t satisfied that he got
his money’s worth.
Imitations of Dodson’s IJver
Tone are another proof that it is
a good thing. Nobody ever imi
tates a poor remedy. Be sure you
get the genuine Dodson’s Liver
T^ne—the kind that is guaranteed.
