SEALBY SHOWS REMEDY
Ill-Starred Republic's Skipper Would
Hold Congress Responsible.
ANN" ARBOR. Mich.. April 22. Cap
tain Inman Sealby. who was command
er of tho steam vessel Republic when
she was rammed by the Florida, would
make Congress responsible for the lives
of travelers on the ocean. Captain
r-ealbv Is a student In the University
of Michigan.
"I believe that b way of reducing
the possibility of such tremendous dis
asters as that which overtook the Ti
tanic." said Sealby.. 'Increased lifeboat
facilities should be added to the pas
senger steamships, and that water
tight bulkheads should be constructed
as strong as the hull Itself.
"I would recommend, first, that the
commanders of the North Atlantic
steamships be ordered by their owners
to go south of the ice track and al
ways to travel slowly In a fog. Any
Infringement of this should be met
with Instant dismissal.
"Second, the Government should hold
the owners of ships responsible in see
ing that the orders are carried out to
the letter at all times, any failure of
which would result In the withdrawal
of their passenger-carrying license.
Third, the people of the country
should hold their representatives In
Congress responsible or liable for the
shipowners carrying out these provis
ions, failing which the representatives
liiemselves should be compelled to re
sign their scats.
The structural alterations of steam
ships and carrying out of the require
ments would mean additional cost to
shipowners, and this cost would have
to be met by the public. A passage
that can be bought today for 5u would
cost $-60."

Blind Orchestra to Play for

SEATS IN GREAT DEMAND

Rehearsal With "Southpaw" De
livery State Schools
Put on Novel Show.
to
VANCOUVER, Wash., April 22.
(Special.) Moving to music they can
not hear, played by an orchestra that
will never see the actors, 18 pupils, all
mutes, will present "Tho Merchant of
Venice" In the auditorium of the State
-School for the Deaf next Saturday
evening. The orchestra will come
from the School for the Blind. Al
ready the seating capacity has been
sold and it Is likely that a second per
formance will be given for the accom
modation of those who are clamoring
for tickets.
The play will be given on a stage
constructed by tho mutes. The scenes
were painted and the costumes made
by pupils of the State School for the
i Deaf. Of the 13 men in. tho first foot-
' ball squad last Fall 11 are In the cast,
besides three of the second team.
Harry Sanderyou. the little quarter
back of the seconds, plays the part of
; Jessica, old Shylock's daughter.
Mutes are natural actors, as most
I of their dally intercourse depends on
graceful signs and mobile features.
Professor Thomas P. Clarke, superin
tendent of the School for the Deaf, will
give a verbal synopsis of each act and
all of the spectators will be able to
understand every motion on the stage.
In an ovcrxealous moment during a
rehearsal yesterday J. F. Meagher, who
plays the savage Shylock, accidentally
permitted the knife he was sharpening
to slip, and Instead of cutting off the
forfeited pound of flesh, cut deep Into
his own thumb. At first it w-ns feared
a substitute would have to take the
.role of tho implacable Jew. But the
deaf talk with equal fluency with
either hand. Meagher shifted to the
left hand without missing a comma.
"Shylock Is there with a "southpaw
deliver." he remarked llngeratlvely.

This will be by far the most elab

by the pupils of the State School for
the Deaf. Another feature of the show
will be the attendance of pupils from
the State School for the Blind. The
' pupils will be able to hear the music
produced by their own orchestra and
they will hear the verbal synopsis
given by Professor Clarke and an In
structor will accompany them and
translate the signs Into words.

Belief Is Large Number of Those
Picked Up at Scene of Wreck
Are Members of the Crew, as
Names Are Not Passengers'.
NEW YORK. April 22. "She first list
of names of bodies recovered from tho
Titanic disaster by the cableshfp Mac
kay Bennett was received here tonight
by wireless message to the White Star
Line offices. The list of 27 names
contains none of the most prominent
men who perished, unless It be that
"George H. Widen" as sent by wireless
refers to George D. Widener, of Phil
adelphia. .
The original passenger list of the
Titanic did not mention "Widen,"
which apparently establishes the iden
tity of the body as that of Mr. Wid
ener, son of P. A. B. Widener. of Phil
adelphia, one of the directors of the
White Star Line, who with his son,
Harry, was lost. The list as received
at the White Star office Is as follows:

The wireless message after listing
the names concluded:
"All preserved." presumably refer
ring to the condition of the bodies.
A number of the names In the list
do not t-heck up with the Tltanlc's
passenger list, which leads to the be
lief that a number of the bodies re
covered are members of tho crew.
VICTIM'S ESTATE PROBATED
Head of Big Jewelry Firm Believed
lAst With Gems.
SAN FRANCISCO. April i2. Public
Administrator Hynes has filed a peti
tion for letters of administration In
the estate of Jacob BIrnbaum, head of
the diamond firm of Jacob Birnbaum
& Co., of this city, who Is thought to

aster. Shortly before the sailing of

expected to return on her.

since and his namo does not ap
pear In the list of Burvivors.

ing purchases for the firm. BlmbaunVs
estate consists chiefly of his share of
stock in the Jewelry company. The pe
tition of the public administrator says
that Birnbaum died at sea on April 15.

ALBANY, N. Y., April 22. Examiners

cuniary loss from the fire which de
stroyed the Equitable home office In
New York last January was insignin
cant.

Transvaal or Koutn Arrica great quantities
of high explosives are used. It Is estimated
that i.0UO.000 is invested in such explo
sives every year.

Taken la the Spring for Tears.
Ralph Rust, Willis, Mich., writes:
"Hood's Sarsaparllla has been a house
hold remedy In our home as long as I
can remember, I. have taken It In the
spring for several years. If has no
equal for cleansing the blood and ex
pelling the humors that accumulate
during the winter. Being a farmer and
exposed to bad weather, my system Is
often affected, and I often take Hood a
Sarsaparllla with good results."
