Hostoi', -April v2(;. --l'n'Sl(I(Mit; Tall spoke here yesterday in part as fol lows: My Fellow Citizens: In September, Hull, Theodore Roosevelt, then vice-president,' 'suc ceeded to the presidency on the death of. William McKinley and served three years and nearly Mix months as president in his first term. He was a candidate' at the election of l!tU4, and when he was returned ly an overwhelming vote in Noveni lier of that year,-he announced: that under no circumstances 'would he be a candidate for, or accept another nomination. When the campaign of IflOg ap proached, he .recommended to the American people that I, then his secretary of war, be made the -republican, candidate for president in Ihe approaching contest. He did everything in his power to secure my nomination and election, and 1 have had the deepest feeling of gratitude to him on this account ever Bince. Nevti in thought, word, or deed have I been disloyal to my friendship for him. More than three years have elapsed since I was Inaugurated president, nnd a presidential cam paign is now at hand. A number of months ago I said to the public that, like most of my predecessors, I would welcome an approval of my present administration by a re-election. After this time Mr. Roosevelt let it be known that he did not in tend toVbe a candidate for the presi dency, and said that he would re gard his nomination as a calamity personally and undesirable from ev ery standpoint. Thereafter the statements that came from time to time became less anil less firm in the resolution not to become a can didate. When certain state gover nors invited him to do so, in Feb ruary last, he issued a declaration In which lie said that he would ac cept the nomination If tendered, and would allow his name to remain !n the convention until the question was settled. F?tween the time that tho governors had aBkad for his can didacy and Ms formal declaration of acceptance he delivered an ad dress beforethe, constitutional conven tion of Ohio, In session at Colum bus, which he put forth as his charter of democracy under which FUNERAL OF GENERAL ' GRANT- HELD TODAY New York, April 20 Men promi nent In public and private life gath ered here to pay tho last honors to MbJ. Oen. Frederick Dent Orant, who died April 11. Funeral services were deferred until today to await the arrival of tola daughter, Princess Cantacuiene, from Russia. President Taft was among those attending. Bishop Fallows offi ciated. -.'-.. More Hoosevelt Ik-legates. St. Louts, April 26. The Missouri republican state convention con cluded at 6:30 this morning after a 24-hour deadlock. Eight delegates-at-large to the national convention are Instructed for Roosevelt.. , Th,ft overage; baby Is almost smart as ita parents are not, aw he hoped needed reforms might be brought about. The charter of de mocracy advocated a change in our judicial system known asi the recall of decisions, with a. recall of judges under circumstances not clearly de fined, and with other . innovations, none of which were in accord with the platform of the republican party, and to some of which he seems to have' become a very recent convert. , 1 deemed it my duty in public ad dresses to point out that such judi cial changes: as be proposed .would lie dangerous to the body ''politic, and thai .they would .necessarily de stroy t lie , keystone of our liliert le.K by taking away judicial "independ ence, and by exposing to the chance of one popular vote, .'(mentions of (lie continuance, of our const it utioli ;tl guaranties of life, liberty, am! property', and the pursuit, of happi ness. My addrcs--.es were imper sonal, and 1 refrained from every thing that could be regarded as a personal- attack upon him. The . announcement of the Ohio speech as a platform sent a thrill, of alarm ''through all the members of the community who understood our constitutional principles and who feared the effect of the proposed changes upon the pei manence of our government. Mr. Roosevelt found that if the nomination was to come to him lie must minimize the Im portance of his Columbus charier and must find some other issue up on which to succeed, lie changed his position from that of one in a receptive attitude, who was. 'willing to accept the nomination thrust up on him, to that of an active candi date entering the canvass in various states where delegates were to be selected. Without giving up the principles 'announced in his Colum bus address, he relegated them to an incidental place and changed his campaign to one of criticism -of me and my administration.. Mr. Roosevelt's Chnrm. fly excerpts from my 'speeches he has sought tq show and has charged that 1 am one 'who has publicly an nounced that I am in favor of an aristocracy of political bosses, and that I am linked with political bosses In seeking my renoinlnatio.'i. He charges that the patronage of l he government Is being shamelessly used to secure my renomination, and that In the conventions and pri maries which have been held, fraud and violence have been systematical ly, used to defeat the will of ' the people and to secure delegate.; for me. He says that I am not a pro gressive, but a reactionary: that 1 was nominated by progressives, and after election : joined the ranks of those who opposed me for nomi nation; and he intimates that I have not the spirit of the progressive, or the imagination, or the clear-headed purpose essential to the make-up of such a person. He says that I am a friend of the interests and an up holder of special privilege, , and that a vote for me is a vote for the In terests, and against the people. He minimizes and flouts the Importance of the lawB enacted and the execu tive action taken during my admin istration.. Reason for Answerinc ('burges. If in this contest there were at stake my only own reputation or the satisfaction of my own ambi tion, 1 would, without the slightest qualm and without care as to the re sult, continue my silence under these unjust attacks. J would do so be cause of tho personal relations that have existed between Mr. Roosevelt and me, my debt of gratitude 'lo him, and my inclination, because of the office I hold, not to Indulge In personal controversy. . I would hope that In the future, war or distant, facts would disclose themselves showing the Injustice of the course he Ib pursuing toward me, and the merciless truth concerning his mo tives and his sincerity of statement and purpose. , 1 - , But I am presented with this dif ficulty. .'. I represent a cause. I stand foi' wise progress In governnfcntal affairs and In tho Improvement -of the condition of all the people that the republican party stands for. I am the titular leader of that move ment, and the substantial and sane legislation of my .. administration (Continued on Pass Two.) :. i. "' I n i ks. w I i.i.i am r,i:oyx. New York. April .

Washington, April 26. Members of Hie senate committee' of inquiry into tlie Titanic's disaster who' ex--aiiiiiied Individually the British sailors and stewards of the Titanic crew, gathered this morning in Chairman Smith's office to prepare a report of their investigations for the full committee. ; . Only a few members of the crew could be found who shed light on the occurences of the fateful Jilght, other than bad been exacted from surviving officers and passengers during the previous committee hearing- - , ; One of the most stirring recalled was from F. 0. Evans, of the Ti tanic's crew, Evans told Senator Smith it was necessary for the wom en and children on the sinking Ti tanic to jump a u -foot chasm from the deck to the lifeboats. To these met hods of loading the lifeboats Evans attributed a large loss or life among the women and children. Evans said when boats were swung out they were at least 3 feet from the steamer's deck, which was 70 feet above tlie sea. The heighth was so terrifying the women refused to attempt, to .jumV Several were ihrov.n bodily across the gap One was propelled with' such force she went over the far side of the boat and was saved from plunging Into ihe sea only by her shoes, which caught in an oarlock. Evans said? "The babies and children were tossed into the boats like sacks of grain; there', was. no "ot her way." Samuel S. Hemming, a seaman, said he was asleep when the ship si ruck,, and after he looked out wiiii back to bed. A storekeeper did likewise.
