Bride admitted that he 'copied an iceberg report transmitted by the Cali-fornian and sent it to bridge. Whether Captain Smith received' it he was not sure. While Bride was testifying several newspaper photographers exploded flash lights.

This nearly shocked his nerves and he nearly collapsed. Smith reprimanded the photographers. Bride said he retired about 7:30 Sunday night and was not awakened by the collision but at midnight he arose to relieve Philips. Philips was sending messages to Cape Race. Just about then Captain Smith came to the door of the wireless room and said: "You had better get assistance.

Philips asked him if he wanted a distress call sent. "Yes, at once," replied the captain. Philip sent C. Q. D.

TELEGRAPH IIS Lincoln, April 20. Theodore Roosevelt ran' away from President Taft and "Senator La Follette In yesterday's primary, the first In the history of the state. The extreme length of the ballot and the fact that the polls remained upen until 9 o'clock this morning makes the count slow but at 8 o'clock this morning fully one-sixth of the state had reported. These returns came from every direction. They show that the colonel has a margin of more than 5,000 over Taft and La Follette combined.

Even La-Follette is running ahead of the White house incumbent. Roosevelt managers are now claiming a full count will show that the colonel has carried the state by not less than over Taft and that his vote will exceed that of the president and La-Follette together. Champ Clark is the preference of the democrats. The contest between Wilson and Harmon is close. Appleton, Monday, April 22.

President M. J. Wallrich of the Wisconsin Advancement association, at the dinner given Milwaukee busi ness men recently, explained the work of the association and pic tured the great opportunities offered by northern Wisconsin. He said "The territory from Milwaukee to Lake Superior offers a magnificent field for the expansion of your trade. Four great railroad systems running north and south through this territory furnish ex cellent facilities for freight and passenger traffic from all points of this territory to Milwaukee.

Milwaukee should be made the 'Mecca' for everybody living in this territory. "The possibilities are great. Ten million acres or more of undeveloped agricultural lands that now have nominal speculative value of $100,000,000, would, if put into a state of cultivation, add to the ac tive capital of the state more than $1,000,000,000, a large percentage of the earnings of which should findi distribution through the business and trade channels of Milwaukee. "For years hysterical politics and frenzied business have delayed the development of the water power of Wisconsin. There was a simple, just and easy way presented to the legislature whereby the property rights of our citizens would be pro-: tected, and at the same' time protect the state and the users of the power.

The courts have finally settled this muted question and we earnestly look for active development of the water powers of Wisconsin." Mr. Wallrich again denounced the farm bulletin of the federal census bureau that there were no more lands suitab.e for agriculture in Wisconsin and contrasted the resulted northern showed by farmers in Wisconsin as compared with the much advertised irrigated land of the west. "I venture the opinion," he said, "that more than one-third of the arable lands between the Mississippi river and the Atlantic ocean are not under culti- vation today Millions of acres of these lands can be bought at not more than from one-third to one-tenth of the cost or irrigated lands in the west, and for the production of the orainary necessities of life are far more valuable than any land watered by irrigation. "The Wisconsin farmer buys no water, pays no annual maintenance charge, cleans no ditches and leads no creeklets over his land. "And, as indicating the uniformity of productiveness within the state of Wisconsin, an examination of the 1910 United States census discloses that in comparison witp.

the four most central countries of the northern half of the state, the four most central countries of the southern half led in wheat, per acre, .6 bushel, in oats in barley, 1.3 bushels, .5 bushel, while the I (bought from the state, and others bought logged-off lands, until we find today in nearly every township, settlements with beautiful farms, with. fine homes and barns along good substantial highways and ntar schools, and these farms are located; close to the cut-over lands, or even In close proximiy to large belts of virgin forest. "The lumberman today, as soon' "Tht -lumberman today, as soon, as he removes log timber, is ready; to sell the land to actual settlers. They have come to the conclusion that it is a good policy, both for their own good and for the good of the state to sell these lands to actual settlers. On many of these logged-off lands there is enough timber left for building purposes and to pay for the land.

"There are still remaining millions of acres of virgin timber land jin northern Wisconsin, which are being logged as the demand for timber arises, to keep our sawmills, paper mills and factories busy. Tt, .1 assure the new settler remunerative wages and also assure him a good price for his surplus products. "We have the climate, fertile soil, abundant natural resources and undeveloped land, and the right' kind of people if put in motion to make a greater Wisconsin for ourselves and our posterity. "The farthest of this undeve oped land lies only ten hours ride; from Milwaukee. Fifteen to twenty passenger trains run daily be-i tween the upper Wisconsin region and Milwaukee.

Where is there a state in the union that has as many; beautiful river valleys as we have in northern Wisconsin? Visit thd valleys of the" St. Croix, the Chippewa, the Flambeau, to Wisconsin, the! Wolf, the Oconto, Peshtigo, the Menomonie these river valleys not only rich in memories of French exploration and pine and hardwood forests, but now rich in promise and hope of becoming the greatest agricultural as well as industrial section of our state." "Many of our best young men from the farms every year, without having formed any definite plan for life, become clerks in stores, apprentices in barber shops, bar tenders in saloons, and when they once get started in these lines -of occupation it is difficult to induce them to return, to the farm. There is little opportunity for their promotion in their new occupation. Had these young men been induced to attend the agricultural school of he university and receive the instruction and inspiration of such men as Dr. Henry, Dr.

Russell and Profs. Moore, WhIson Farrington, Alexander and Humphrey, and oth ers they would have remained upon the farm and in time they would bave been independent, owning farms of their own, well stocked. WAY TO LOUDON; EHG. Mr- Mrs. Edmonds and Family Arrive Safely at London, Eng land, a Few.

April 22. Ad mitting that perhaps someone at the White Star offices had given out as a cruel hoax last. Monday that the Titanic's passengers were all Baved, Vice-President Franklin, the first witness before the resumed investigation of the sub-committee today disavowed responsibility for the disaster. He denied positively that any White Star official had sent the reassuring tele grams to Representative- Hughes saying the Titanic was being towed to Halifax and all were safe, when the officials knew that 1500 had perished off Cape Race. He admitted that some of the juniors in the White Star offices might have issued the information.

It was unauthorized he said. Franklin admitted that over six hours before the news was made public the officials knew that 20 life boats filled with Titanic survivors had been picked up by the Carpathia. The news was not authentic until 6:20 Monday evening and therefore not made public until that time. Franklin declared the message at noon Monday was relayed wireless from Cape Race saying the Carpathia had picked up the Titanic's boats ajmmed with passengers. This information he believed was "mere rumor." Franklin did not give it out because he said "he could not believe the Titanic had sunk" and therefore awaited "authentic Information." At 6:20 the authentic message came with the news of the Titanic disaster.

Then and not until then was the public informed. The senate sub-committee continued the Investigation of the Titanic disaster in big caucus room of the senate office building here today. richly dressed society women crowded into the room.

John Thayer, probably Mrs. Henry B. Harris and other women survivors who have volunteered to testify. He said all foreign witnesses will be called first to permit their early return to England. Under surveillance almost as as if they were under arrest the 36 surviving officers, crew and employes of the Titanic were "bottled up" so far as news of their experiences was concerned.

At the New Willard hotel, J.

Reviews Whole Story Death cries of the Titanic's 1400 victims re-echoed through the senate building today when Third Officer Pittman vividly described the sinking of the great ship.

Prayers, cries and moans a mighty chorus of woe rose from the victims. The British officer told the pathetic story in an almost stoldid manner but even he begged committee not to press him along that line. "It was a continual moan for about an hour," he said. "It died away gradually." He told of the entire voyage. He declared he knew the ship's officers were warned of icebergs and Chief Of ficer Murdock, on the bridge, was "on a special lookout for ice" because he had been warned.

The Titanic was making 2iy2 knots an hour, he said, and not trying to make a speed record. He eaid Bruce Ismay met him near life boat No. 4 which he was making ready to lower ans asked that the boat be filled with women and children. Captain Smith gave the order and Ismay made the suggestion, he said. Pittman said his boat saved 40 passengers and 6 of the crew.

He heard four explosions before the Titanic went down, pitching perpendicularly. Many Are Disappointed. Washington, D. April 23. Long before the committee investigating the Titanic disaster convened today the halls and corriders of the senate building were jammed.

Fashionably dressed people mingled with the poorer dressed ones. The committee took the hearing from the big marble room into the smaller territory committee room. Indignant protests from the hundreds who 'waited were heard when only a select coterie of specta tors were admitted into the committee room. These were the wives and rela tives of senators, several representatives, a sprinkling of the diplomatic corps and the newspaper men. The committee convened at 10 o'clock, one-half hour earlier on request of the White Star officials that the crew be heard first and be allowed to return to England.

New York, N. April 23.

That the railway managers had already decided to accept the offer of government mediation to prevent a general strike was considered absolutely certain at their headquarters here today. One of the officials who refused to permit the use of his name said: "There will be no strike. We will accept the offer and there will eventually be an amicable settlement."

The eastern portion of the United States was today facing the most paralyzing strike In its history. More than locomotive engineers from all railroads north of the Ohio river and east of Chicago were expecting orders to quit. The engineers demand average wage increases of 18 per cent, and better working conditions.

April 20. The delay of more than 12 hours in getting news of the Titanic disaster and the cruel reassuring messages that came through the White Star offices all day Monday were the subjects taken up by the senate investigating committee today. Thomas Cotton, the wireless operator of the Carpathia was on the stand. Definite news of the entire disaster was sent from the Carpathia at 10:30 Monday morning, according to Cotton, who says he himself flashed the details to the liner Baltic. The Carpathia was then out of touch with land stations.

None of the details nor even that a thousand, or more, had gone down with the Titanic reached the shore until Monday evening. Answering questions of Senator Smith. Cotton said he sent several messages to the Baltic. Of these no records were kept. "It was the whole story," he said.

"I was not In touch with land stations at that time. I told of the total loss of the Titanic and the rescue of those we had picked up. I told them we were going to New York." Regarding the reassuring news that the Titanic was being towed to Halifax, Cotton said he thought one of the earlier messages said that the survivors might be taken to Halifax. He corrected this later, he said. "I did not 6end from the Carpathia at any time after the disaster a report that the passengers and crew had been saved and that the Titanic was coming slowly into port.

Nothing of that nature was sent by me or suggested to me by "anyone on the Carpathia, he continued. "I sent nothing that could be construed to mean that as it would have been utterly false if I had sent out anv such word. "If the White Star line sent the following message from New York on lApril 15 to Congressman Hughes in Philadelphia: "The Titanic Is proceeding to Halifax and the passengers will probably reach Wednesday all safe; If such a message was sent out at any time, would it have been tfue," demanded Smith. "It would not," said the operator emphatically. The committee definitely ascertained with yesterday's testimony that 200 or more of the Titanic's passengers could have been saved if the life boats had been properly manned and loaded to capacity.

One hundred and eighty members of the crew left here today for England on the steamer Lapland. All of the officers rescued and 22 of the seamen remained to tell their stories before the committee. Senator Smith said today that J. Bruce Ismay had Importuned him for permission to sail on the Lapland today. "I told him that under no circumstances could he go from this country at this time.

In "order that there can be no mistake I saw to It that Ismay was personally served with another subpoena to compel him to remain in America until the Investigation Is ended. Herald Bride, the second wireless operator on the Titanic was brought to the Waldorf to testify from St Vincent's hospital. His feet were crushed In the wreck and he was placed in a roller chair, and taken to the committee room to tell his story. Cotton said the first message sent by Jack Philips, the Titanic operator, read: "Come at once. C.

Q. D. old man." His last message at 11:58 read: "Come quickly as possible. She's taking water and Its "up to the boilers." "I never heard from her after that," said Cotton. Herald Bride, the extra wireless operator on the Titanic next took the stand.
