Washington, April 26.—Sworn testi­
mony going far to show tliat not a single
life need have been lost when tlie Titanic
went down had not a passing liner ig­
nored the distress signals and rockets of
the dying liner, was given today before
the United States senate investigating
committee which is probing the great sea
horror.
Two seamen, one from the Titanic and
one from the Leyland liner Californian,
told the story. Tfley agreed absolutely
that a great ship passed the crippled
Titanic at a time when momenta meant
lives and tliat tlie rockets sent up by the
great ship went absolutely unheeded
though the otlier vessel was a seant score
of miles away—or less.
Ernest Gill, a donkeyman aboard the
Californian, swore that from its deck be
plainly saw the Titanic’s rockets r ad de­
clared that the whole crew commented
on the fact that the Californian’s wireless
operator was allowed to sleep when it
was plain a vessel was in distress wan
Gill’s testimony was given strength by
evidence given before Senator Fletcher by
John Buley, a seaman survivor of the
Titanic. Buley declared:
“ A ship was near when the Titanic
struck and passed by us. We thought it
was coming to us. If it had done so we
should all have been saved. Tlie vessel,
which was only about three miles away,
had all her lights burning. It couldn’t
iiave helped seeing our rockets. In fact,
tlie ship was close enough to sec the
Titanic herself.
I saw her from the
Titanic’s deck. We told the passengers
‘There’s a steamer coming to our amist-
ance.’ I think that’s what kept them
quiet.
“ Tlie vessel came bow, then stopped
and remained stationary for three hours
off our port side. When we got in the
boats we started for her, but she went by
us. Positively it was a boat. It must
hare Iw n . It was too low for a star.
We thought it was coming to get us.”
Bnley’s story was partiality corrobor­
ated by George Rowe, quartermaster of
the Titanic, and Frank Osman, a sea­
man, who testified before Senator Bur-

No matter how strong corpora­

Progressive Business Men’s Club
o f Portland Proposes to Set Aside
U. S. Lands for Good Roads Fund
A bold stroke for tho financing of tlie
g<»>d roads movement In undeveloped
distrii-ts of Oregon, Wat'.lngton and
Idaho was made by the Progreseive Busi­
ness Men’s club at Portland when a reso­
lution was submitted proposing that the
proceeds of 1,000,000 seres of government
land in tin- three states constitute a fund
for the building of highways.
Tlie resolution requests this action by
congress anil asks that development and
commercial organisations of the three
states get beck of the movement, the
thought Ix-lng that the proceeds of the
land could not be spent to better advant­
age than in building mails through the
land.
Tlie resolution recites tlia t'‘the advant­
ages and Is-nefits ilerived Irom tlie sys­
tematic making of permanent roads is
beyond question,” that “ tlie develop­
ment of any undeveloped area is given
hppetus by the eonstmrtion of good
roads, and the values of land are in-
creascd and production quickened.”

Greed of Muerk-ans In their
wild desire to pile up gold Is a
present day parallel o f the drag­
on of disloyalty and jenlousy
that refused supplies to the army
of George Washington at Vnlley
Forge, the sam e that called Lin­
coln a clown nnd a canker and
Grover Cleveland a w ife beater.
The Union stands strong against
outside nssault since it received
Its baptism of blood under Lin­
coln. U nless w e ourselves sur­
render our right to be the only
arbiters of its fortunes It Is safe
against foreign foes. No one
will attack us. But from within
there hag come a peril against

cities especially, seem s more
grewsome by the contrast This
Is a real peril, for the very soul
o f a democracy Is thia—a fair
opportunity for every one.
But with the piling up of great
fortunes the human greed and
selfishness which no political sys­
tem can ever cure ns long as men
are what they are have grown
like a deadly upas tree, and there
has come a gap In our ranks In
which w e hear the old dragon of
disloyalty hlas.—Jacob Rlls.
EVER in the history of the Roerue River valley, old-timers declare, has there been such a
heavy bloom on the fruit trees, and experienced horticulturists say that present prospects
are for a record-breaking yield. The above picture, which is printed by courtesy of the Mail-
Tribune, shows what was necessary in the Randall orchards, near Medford, several seasons ago,
when the yellow N ew ton pippins would have stripped the smaller branches
from the trees but for the use o f props.
