MERRICK
FRIDAY
Deelnring thnt the content for the
republican nomination for county
judge ltntl outstepped the ordinary
bounds of polities nnd was now
struggle between progressive nnd re-
nelionurie.x, Hert Anderson, W. II.
(lore, nn (1 II. l Onrnett spoke to the
Merchants nocintion InM evening
upon the necessity of Med ford re
puhlicnns standing together for Med
ford's eiiudiilnte, ) K. Merrick.
Mr. Anderson charged that Ash
hind politicians nnil press were
charging Med ford with everything
that was had and that Ashland poli
ticians were openly trying' to injure
Bedford's credit and were making
the iwie solely uon the prohibition
to down Mcdford. "That heing the
ease," he concluded, "it is emphati
cally up to us to stand together for
our candidate, a man who spends his
money here and who has devoted hi
.services to the community without
one cent of remuneration."
W. II. (lore told of open boasts in
Ashland that at last that city had
Mcdford on the run and II. C. Gar
net t spoke for a united Bedford vote.
"I am u democrat," he said "and
can't vote for either Merrick or
Dunn. Dunn is u personnl friend of
mine but I want to tell you if he is
elected he will never do one thing for
Medford. If you fellows don't stand
together for Merrick we democrats
tire going to everlastingly beat you mi
the fall."
Aside from the political discussion
there was the usual amount of rou
tine business to be transacted. The
dinner was served by the ladies of
tho Christian church, and was very
highly complimented.

standing by. The men remained on
the Titanic to die.
Tho announcement received here
last night that tho Titanic hud foun
dred and that there "probably would
be loss of life," brought thousands
of perhons from the theatres and
restaurants, where relatives of pas
heiigerK were celebrating their sup
posed escape from death. When the
e.vtra editions were put on the streets
telling of the catastrophe, the gay
parties in the amif-enieut places ini
jnedintely became silent and hurried
to the .steamship offices for official
confirmation. The worst fears were
there verified.
Officials StuMficd.
The officers of the White Star line
hero today appeared stupefied over
tie disaster. Vice President Frank
lin became angered when a New York
reporter not only charged him witu
resjMinhibility for withholding the
iiewn from the public and with muzzl
ing the wireless stations in order to
secure insurance on the Titanic and
its treasures.
"That's an absolute lie," he hotly
replied. "You who make this charge
know that you lie. I would not ad
mit that the Titanic had sunk until I
was absolutely sure of the fact. We
are doing all wo can to learn who was
saved and who was lost."
When Franklin was asked why the
company had given out for publica
tion the wireless messages which its
officials alleged had como from the
wireless operator on the fitenmer
Olympic), inserting that all tho Ti
tunie's passengers were safe aboard
tho Carpathia, ho refused to reply.
Ho mid ho knew nothing about the
11 ported rescue of 400 other passen-tfert--.
Captain Is J40st.
It is believed nlmost certnin todnv
that Captain K. J, bmitli of tho Ti
tanic went down with his ship.
Alfred Gwyni Vanderbilt, head of
the Vanderbilt family, who was sup
posed to have sailed on tho Titanic,
cabled his relatives fiom London to
day that he had decided at the last
minute .to postpone his departure.
Tho police reserves were scarcely
able to control the crowds in front
of tho offices of the White Star line.
Kxtra clerks were put on to hnndle
the inquirers, each supplied with a
certified copy of the list of survivors.
Magistrate liobert Cornell col
lapsed vhen told that his wil'o prob
ably Jind perished, but that his sN
turn, Mrs. J. At. Urown and Mrs. K
Appleton were saved.

KILLS ALL HOPE
HALIFAX, N. S., April Hi. Al
though the liner Parisian cruised for
several hours about the scene of the
wreck of the Titanic it flighted no life
rafts or bodies, according to wireless
messages received hero this after
noon from its captain. The Parisian,
according to the message, is due in
Halifax tomorrow. The captain said
the weather was severely cold, adding
that it was certain that if any pas
sengers escajed on pieces of wreck
age they perished from exposure be
fore aid arrived. Thin confirms the
belief that tho survivors aboard tho
Carpathiu suffered terribly before
they were picked up.
