f THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS. 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.

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 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.

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 ion of a large number of Governors for it.
