Presidential Campaign.

Herald, while Tat't and ("lark are
leading in instructed delegates to

velt is gaining rapidly and it is
generally believed by the friends
of Governor Wilson and by those
of liis friends especially who have
traveled over the nation that he
is very likely to be the Demo-
cratic nominee. Since the Roose-
velt campaign has become thoroly
launched, he has carried live
states, viz: Illinois, Pennsylva-
nia, Wisconsin, Oregon, and West
Virginia, receiving an overwhel-
ming majority of the delegates
in each of these states. The
next battle ground is Massachu-
setts, where primary elections
will be held April .'50.
Thousands Sing Hymn in Union
Square.
New York, April 20.— With
heads uncovered, nearly 5,000
persons assembled in Union
Square, sang through all the
verses of "Nearer, My God, to
Thee" today after leaders of the
open air meeting had spoken of
the hymn as that which the vic-
tims of the Titanic disaster went
to their death.
The gathering was one of the
day's features of the Christian
Conservation Congress under the
auspices of the Men and Religion
Forward Movement. William J.
Bryan, .John Mitchell, the labor
leader; John 1). Rockefeller Jr.,
Bishop Hendrick of Kansas City
and others stood on the platform
together facing a large assembly.
Mr. Bryan was the principal
speaker, his subject being "The
Claims of the Christian Religion
on the Men of North America."
"Religion is a practical thing,"
Mr. Bryan said. "No man can
hope to give large service and
have satisfaction himself unless
molded by a great conception of
a Creator."

tanic Victims Received.
Of the (54 bodies reported to
have been recovered near the
scene of the disaster by the
steamer Rhein, 2F> have been
identified and the list sent in by

funds aggregating over a quar-
ter million dollars for the needy
among the survivors.

Superintendent F. M. Bralley
of the state department of public
instruction issued a call on April
22 for a conference of the presi-

main object of the proposed re-
vision will be to make the teach-
ers of the state more efficient.
Americans Still Leaving Mexico.
Hundreds of American resi-
dents of Old Mexico are entering

say for American intervention.

by parliament was decided on by
Parliament. The British press,
however, declines to judge the
Titanic case until the British in-
quiry is held and displays strong
feeling at the manner in which
the American inquiry is being
conducted and at what is regard-
ed as the unfair treatment of J.
Bruce Ismay whom they protest
against having the American pa-
pers brand as a coward.

Developments in Titanic Disaster.
On the arrival of theCarpathia
in New York with the survivors
of the ill fated Titanic on board,
the details of the death struggle
of the great ship was made
known to the world. The Car-
pathia brought less than 800 of
the Titanic's passenger list, most
of these being women and chil-
dren. The number of lost has
been placed at 1635. The ship
sank at 2:30 in the morning in
two miles of water. The wound
from the ice berg was from the
side and bottom of the vessel.
She settled bow first and slipped
quetly to the bottom. There was,
so far as could be learned, little
confusion on board, many of the
passengers remaining in their
berths through ignorance of any
danger. There was not much
jar from the impact with the ice.
Four explosions were heard on
the vessel by the survivors be-
fore the ship went down. The
Titanic carried 20 life boats, the
most of which "were filled with
those who were fortunate enough
to escape. The occupants of
these boats, after drifting sev-
eral hours, were taken on board
the Carpathia where they were
supplied with food and clothing.
True heroism was displayed by
the men on the Titanic in the
hour of trial. The appeal of the
Captain, "Be British my men,"
inspired the manhood in each
breast. The rich and the poor
alike met their fate like heroes.
The brave old Captain worked to
the last in aiding his passengers
to escape, then with a little child
in his arms, leaped from the
bridge into the sea. Col. Astor,
the millionaire, gave his place in
the boat to a woman from the
steerage. As the boat settled
before the final plunge, the band
stood in water to their knees and
played "Nearer My God to Thee"
The Titanic was making 21
! knots an hour at the time of the
j disaster. Her full speed capac-
ity was 21 knots. According to
the inquiry that was immediately
instigated in the Senate as to
causes of the mishap, the find-
ings were that the ship had
moved sixty miles south of her
true course. This had been done
to avoid the ice. Warning had
been given repeatedly that large
icebergs had been sited. The
steamer sank with help five miles
away in the form of an unknown
steamer whose lights could be
plainly seen. This ship failed to
respond to the signals of distress
flashed to her from the fatal
liner. Later this ship was
thought to be the Olar, a Rus-
sian steamer, which had been
unable to reach the scene of dis-
tress on account of the barriers
of ice. .1. Bruce Ismay, a rep-
resentative of the White Star
Line and who escaped in a life
boat from the Titanic, was
brought before the court of in-
quiry and compelled to give tes-
timony of the disaster. He ad-
mitted that the liner carried too
few boats. She was believed to
lie unsinkable by the builders
and managers.
Rev. J. Frank Norris Acquitted Wed-
nesday.
Rev. .1. Frank Norris, who had
been under trial for perjury, was
adjudged not guilty by the jury
at 2:20 p. m. Wednesday. The
argument began Monday morn-
ing and lasted two days, each
side being allowed six hours.
The charge, which required thir-
ty minutes to be read, was given
to the jury at noon Wednesday.
