Essayist, Dramatist and Editor. NEW YORK, May 11. Men prom iTient in the business and literary life of New York will gather at 11:30 o'clock tomorrow morning in the Church of the Ascension to pay last tribute to "William Dean Howells. novelist and man of letters, who died in his sleep at his home here early today. He was in his 8-tth year. Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, an old friend, will officiate. While at Savannah, Ga.. three weeks ago, Mr. Howells caught a severe cold which developed into in fluenza. He was brought home and his son, John Meade Howells, and his daughter. Mildred, were with him when he died. In accordance with the novelist's wishes the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Cambridge, Mass. At a dinner given in New York in 1912 to do honor to William Dean Howells upon his 75th birthday, Will iam Howard Taft. then president of the United States, lauded the guest as "the greatest living American writer and novelist." He was the dean of American let ters; poet, essayist, dramatist and editor, as well as a weaver of fiction. Beginning his first book, "Poems of Two Friends," just before the civil war, Mr. Howells had completed and published more than 71 volumes at the time of his death, besides acting as editor of various publications, crossing the ocean 18 times in search of material for his novels and writing essays, criticisms and magazine arti cles. Career Beffun on enppr. Born in Martin's Kerry, O.. in 1837, he served his literary apprenticeship as a compositor, reporter and editor on his father's newspaper. "Inwardly I was a poet.' said the eminent novelist in reviewing his early experiences, "with no wish to be anything else, unless in a moment of careless affluence 1 might so far forget myself as to be a novelist." When 23 years old he traveled to Boston to make the acquaintance of Longfellow, Hawthorne, Emerson, Irblmes and Lowell. Though a boy among masters, he became their inti mate, learning their literary tradi tions and preserving many of them throughout his long life. At the age of 24 he was appointed by President Lincoln as United States consul at Venice. He combined his consular duties with literary work and produced his celebrated book, "Venetian Life." Four years later, in 18G5, he came to New York with his wife, who was Elinor G. Mead of Vermont, wiom he had married in Paris in 1862. For two years he wrote editorials for the New York Nation, the Times and the Tribune and then moved to Boston, where, as assistant editor, he began his association with the Atlantic Monthly, succeeding James Russell Lowell as editor in 1872. At the age of 44 he retired to devote himself to his novels, which he produced for many years at the rate of two a year. When 50 years old Mr. Howells found time to become contributing editor, and later writer for the "edi tor's easy chair" department in Har per's magazine. For a brief period he acted as editor of the Cosmopolitan. Socialistic Vlevra A-rovrrd. Dr. Howells he had received de grees from Yale, Harvard, Oxford and Columbia universities though he had never' attended college was a keen student of current events. He avowed his belief in socialism. "I cannot see," he declared, "that the remedy for existing conditions lies anywhere else. But if it is to, be a remedy it must come slowly. Violent revolutions do not permaneatly bo1v- tnese problems. On the subject of woman suffrage his opinion was decided: "It is one of the most important de velopments of this generation and one of the most hopeful. The men have made such a mess of things that if the women do not come to the rescue I'm cure I doa't know what is to become of us."

Past Year Has Been Troublous One for Signor N'iUi and His Cabinet Advisers. fsi ROME, May 11. (By the Associated tss.) The ministry of which -Fre-.jr" Nitti was the head has re- gned. The .decision to resign came when the chamber adopted by a vote of 193 to 112 a motion by the socialists re garding posts and telegraphs. Signor Nitti called for a rejection of the motion and demanded that the bal loting be considered a vote of con fidence in the ministry. The popular party voted with the socialists. The Italian cabinet, of which Fran cisco Nitti was premier and minister of the interior, was formed March 13, 1920. Signor Nitti, however, was head of the cabinet from June, 1919, suc ceeding Vittorio Orlando. Premier Nitti has been the object of innumerable bitter attacks in the past year. The Catholics resented the policy of the government toward the socialists as "excessively mild," but it was recognized generally that Signor Nitti and his -ministers faced an exceptional period of unrest, par ticularly on the part of labor. A few days ago the opinion in par liamentary circles was that Premier Nitti was running the risk of being overthrown on account of his lenient attitude during the recent disturb ances in northern Italy. it IGNORE PRUDENC E".

If the engineer had failed to stop. I would have pulled the emergency air cord myself," he testified. The conductor and other trainmen. as well as higher Southern Pacific officials, brought out the fact that 11 train orders must be read and understood by every member of the crew. But in the written depositions of Conductor Pharis and BraTteman Fisch of train No. 124, a serious dis crepancy in statements was found. 'I showed the orders to Fisch-and he knew we were to meet No. 107 at the .Bertha station siding, stated Pharis in his deposition. Pbarls la Contradicted. "No, I never saw the orders and did not know what they were," reads the deposition of Brakeman isch. Pharis was in the habit of showing them to me if I was around when he got them, but there were times when did not know what they were. In the actual tests with the air emergency brakes at the scene of the tragedy yesterday morning, it was shown that had Conductor Pharis ap plied the conductor's emergency air cord even after Engineer Willett had passed the siding where the trains were to have met, his train could have been brought to a stop before it crashed into the out-bound passenger. A special train of the same siuc. weight and equipment of the ill-fated train No. 124, was speeded down the track from Bertha station at a rate of 30 to 35 miles an hour. Just be fore the switch was passed, the con ductors emergency brake cord was pulled, and the train was brought to stop within a distance of 29a feet. and at a point at least 200 feet from the place where the two trains crashed together. 25-Mile Spaed la Tried. At a speed of 25 miles an hour the train was brought to a halt within 219 feet, and at an estimated speed of between 36 and 40 miles an hour, the emergency stop was made within 494 feet. Each of these tests was accurately measured under the supervision of state and federal investigators, and showed beyond question that the two trains never would have met head-on had one of the trainmen applied the emergency air cqrd when it was found that the engineer was not slowing up at tne meeting place. ' xne taking ot oral testimony was started at 1 o'clock yesterday after noon ana continued until nearly o'clock. It will be continued again this morning, and probably will be completed today. Commlaaloner at Inquiry. Th.e official board of inquiry . con sists of A. T. Mercier, superintendent; xi. M. bull, district engineer; Dan Mc Laughlin, master mechanic, all repre senting the Southern Pacific; Harry r. corrin ot the Portland safety first commission, and Robert E. Smith, business man. In addition to the official board, the state is represented by Fred G. Buchtel. chairman of the public eerv ice commission, and Fred Rasch, engineer and examiner of the com mission. G. B. Winter and W. E. Weeks, inspectors of the bureau of safety of the interstate commerce commission, also arc in attendance. All doubt as to whether train No. 124, which disobeyed meeting orders stopped at Bertha station was re moved by a great preponderance of evidence that the stop was made and that the usual examination of air brakes was made at that point. Section Foreman Testifies.' Andrew Johnson, section foreman at Bertha Station,- was absolutely positive that the train stopped and, that five passengers boarded the train at that point. Robert Brunke said he boarded the train at Dosch station and that he was absolutely certain it stopped at Bertha station. "I don't want to swear my. life away, but I am as sure we stopped there as I am that 1 am sitting here in this chair," he testified. Brunke also said that the emerg ency air brakes of the train were ap plied just a few seconds before the crash came. "I am absolutely sure the train stopped at Bertha station," were the words of F. A. Thomas of, Buxton, who also testified he was positive the emergency air brakes had been- ex amined at that point. Speed Averasret Says Brakeman. George O'Connor, rear brakeman pf train No. 107, the out-bound passen ger, testified his train was running at about the average rate of speed and under normal conditions. He also testified that it is one of the cardinal rules of railroading that all members of a train crew must be thoroughly acquainted with the nature of their orders, as much for their own pro tection as for their passengers. "If I had been a brakeman on No. 124 and the engineer had passed the meeting place, X most certainly would have pulled the conductor's- emer gency air cord," ht testified. "1 could dp nothing else; it would sim ply be my duty and I would feel re sponsible for what happened if 1 failed." O'Connor also testified that he felt his engineer, Dick Bland, apply the emergency brakes just as the train was rounding the curve a few hun dred feet west of the siding which they were to take. He said he sensed danger as soon as the air was ap plied, and that the crash came before he had time to do anything. Orders Itrad After Crash. As soon as I got out of the car 1 went to read our orders," he testi fied. Why did you do that?" he was asked. 'I wanted to be sure I was right," he replied. "I was certain our or ders were to meet 124 at the siding, andlf these were not the orders I knew I would be held responsible for the wreck, along with other mem bers of the crew. I just wanted to make certain I was right." H. F. Wilde, a Southern Pacific engineer; R. C. Lohman and C A. Curtin were other passengers .on train No. 107 who testified the air had been applied to the emergency brakes a few seconds before the two trains collided. Joe F. Humphreys, a Southern Pa cific bridge engineer, was the only witness w-ho would testify that the incoming passenger did . not stop at Bertha station. Speed Estimated High. No stop was made there, I am sure, and no emergency air brakes were applied," he testified. He also estimated the epeed at about 45 miles an hour, which was a higher rate than that estimated by any other witness. His traveling companion, Frank A. Kemp, a Southern Pacific bridge foreman, said he thought the train failed to stop at Bertha station, but he was not absolutely sure. He also thought the train was traveling aj aoout 4U miles an nour. Miss Kinaian uameron, wno was one of the few passengers in the forward part of the first car of the incoming train to escape serious injury, said she could not remember whether or not the train stopped at Bertha sta tion. ' She said she thought the train was traveling at a greater rate of speed than usual. She said she no ticed the application of the emergency- brakes a moment before the two trains crashed together. Other witnesses employed by the Southern Pacific testified concerning the equipment of the two trains. Me chanics, electric experts. Inspectors machinists and others declared the two trains were in perfect running condition on the day of the tragedy. It was developed that all cars of both trains had been completely over hauled within the past few weeks and that the two trains had both been tested for defects last Saturday after noon. These witnesses all testified there was nothing wrong with any part or t. e equipment. Money Wanted to Buy Sites. iVAbHi.uiu., May li. Congress was asked Monday by Secretary Baker to appropriate $6,500,000 to purchase the sites of warehouses, wharves and other property built during the war at a cost or nt.vuu,uuo. WASHINGTON, May 11. President Wilson's "bold and audacious" war policy for the navy was laid before the senate naval investigating com mittee today by Secretary Daniels in continuing his answer, to charges by Rear-Admiral Sims against the navy department's conduct of the War. Mr. Daniels coupled with this presenta tion a counter-charge that Sims him self had opposed and held back execu tion of the greatest "bold and vigor ous" naval project against enemy sub marines, laying of the North sea mine barrage. The president laid down his policy in person to officers of the Atlantic fleet, speaking aboard the flagship Pennsylvania in August, 1917. He told them he was not satisfied with progress against the submarines be ing made by the allies and urged them to abandon prudence and seek an audacious solution to the problems at whatever risk. He added that he was "willing to sacrifice half the navy Great Britain and we together have," to crush enemy submarine nests. "Forget Prudence"'. Is Advice. "Do not stop to think of what Is prudent for a moment," he said. "You will win by the audacity of your methods when you cannot win by cir cumspection and prudence." Admiral Sims, had refused to ap prove the navy department's plan for the North sea mine barrage for six months, Mr. Daniels told the com mittee. He added that after Admiral Mayo had been sent abroad to obtain the British admiralty's agreement to the plan, Admiral Sims attempted to give the credit for the project to the British. "Admiral Sims attempted to rob America and the United States navy of the credit for Initiating this great achievement and to give you the im pression that it was a British project which our navy just assisted in carry ing out," said Mr Daniels. "This de spite the fact that it was originated in the navy derartment and proposed and urged by us. for half a year be fore we could induce the British ad miralty to approve it." In opening his address to the of ficers, Mr. Wilson said: "Admiral Mayo and Gentlemen: have not come here with malice pre pense to make a speech, but I have come here to have a look at you and to say seme things that perhaps may be intimately said and, even though the company is large, said in confi dence. Neat to Be Found. "This is an unprecedented war and therefore, it is a war in one sense for amateurs. Nobody ever before con ducted a war like this and therefore nobody can pretend to be a profe slonal in a war like this. Here are two great navies, not to speak of the bthers associated with us our oi and the British, outnumbering by a verv great margin the navy to which we are opposed and yet casting about for a way in which to use our au periority and our strength. "Now. somebody has got to think this war out. Somebody has got ti think out the'way not only to fight the submarine but to do something different from what we are doing. "We are hunting hornets all over the farm and letting the nest alone None of us know how to go to the nest and crush ft and yet 1 despair of hunting for hornets all over the sea"when I know where the nest is and know that the nest is breeding hornets as fast as I can find them I am willing for my part, and I know vou are willing because .1 know the stuff you are made of I am willing to sacrifice half the - navy urea Britain and we together have to crush that nest, because If we cush it the war is won. I have come here to- say that I do not care where it comes from.

Tradition to Be Ignored. "We have got to throw tradition to the wind. "As I have said, gentlemen, I take it for granted that nothing that I say here will be repeated, and therefore I am going to say this: Every time we have suggested anything to the British admiralty, the reply has come back that virtually amounted to this, that it had never been done that way, and I felt like saying: 'Well, noth ing was ever done, so systematically as nothing is being done now. There fore, I should like to see something unusual happen, something that was never done before; and, inasmuch as the things that are being done to you were never done before, don't you think it is worth while to try some thing that -was never done before against those who are doing them to you? , Prudence to Be Omitted. "There is no other way to win. . . America is the prize amateur nation of the world. Germany is the prize professional nation of the world. Now, when it comes to do ing new things and doing them well, I will back the amateur against the professional every time. He knows so iittle about it that he is fool enough to try the right thing.
