' - - - 1,500 FID WATERY GRAVE, Giant Steamship With 2,200 Aboard Collides With Iceberg and Sinks Several Hours Later The Greatest Marine Disaster on Record. New York. April 15.-More than fifteen hundred persons, it is feared, sank lo death early yesterday, when within four hours after she crashed into an Iceberg, the mammoth White Star Line Steamship- Titanic, bound from Liverpool to New York on her maidenvoyage, went to the bottom ofi the Newfoundland Banks. Of the approximately 2,200 persons on board tha giant liner, some of them ot world-wide prominence, o nly G?5 are known to liavs been saved. The White Star Line offices in New York, while keeping up hope to the last were free to admit that there had been "horrible loss of life." ' , Accepting the early estimates of the fatality list as accurate, the disaster Is the greatest in the marine history of the world. Nearest approaching it in magnitude were the disasters to the Steamer Atlantic in 1873, when 574 lives were lost and the La Bonrgogne in 181)8, with a fatality list of 571.

The hope still remains. PROMINENT PEOPLE ABOARD. Notable persons, travelers on the Titanic whose fate was in doubt in the lack of definite advices as to the iden tity of the survivors, were Mr. and Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Major Archi bald Butt, aide to President Taft; Charles M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Pacific of Canada, his wife and daughter; W. T. Stead. Ben jamin Guggenheim, P. D. Millst, the artist, and J. G.

Washington KcebHng, bniMer of the Brooklyn Bridge. Judge Clark on Recall of Judges. Chief Justice Walter Ulark has given outj the following statement in regard to his views on the recall of judges;- "It is a mistake that I have ever ad vocated the recall of the jadRes. The State- in the charter of Greensboro and other cities having the commission form of government has conferred the jvcer.on the people to recall the city oipicials. 1 advocated placing in the Constitution the conferring of the same power upon the Legislature, that the Legislatnre has conferred on the city commissioners, leaving to the people- acting through theiiJLegisla tnro, to designate by statute to what officials, if any, they desired the ap plication of the" power of Recall. Ii ne?er suggested the inclusion cf the judges in this power and should much J 7 , . i , . nrcter their exfimntiou. due oeing a judge myself 1 thought the suggestion of-such exemption would ccme with a better grace from soma one else- I feel sure that our people would never elect a Legislature instructed to apply the recall to the judiciary. "The recall of judges was an im perative necessity in California as shown by the 100,000 majority which adopted the amendment, because for 30 yearslthe judges of that Stats had been notoriously selected by the South ern Pacific Ri R. It would have been handy in this, State if the Legislature of 1870 could have passed an act authorizing the people to vote, if they so willed on the recall of certain judges That state of things will probably never happen again. The recall of the judges has existed in England since 1688, as Parliament has power to drop any judge by a majority vote without trial. The Legislature ought riot to have such authority, but if the recall should-apply to tbe judges at 'all (which I believe would be un wise) it should only be done by the election of a Legislature instructed to pass such an ac which wond 4e done in a great emergency, demanding it. "As to tbe referendum, prohibition was defeated on a referndum in 18S1 and was carried on another referendum in 1007 and all our constitutional amendments have been carried from time to time on a referendum vote. It is nothng new. As to the initiative it will probably never be used but it can do no harm to let people suggest legis lation for their own approval or disap proval, if a sufficient number of elec tors ask fot it. This power would have avoided great crisis which has happened Beveral times in our State history when, as now, a majority cf the"pbpulation of tbe State, the adop tion of nieasuies imperatively demand ed by the majority of the people was in insistently denied by tbe Legisla ture." : A Good Roads Victory.

Boren. chairman of the Guil ford county board of commissioners, in a speech yesterday before a joint meeting of the board and the town ship road commissioners advocated legislation to secure the use of broad tires on vehicles in Guilford county and thereby to save the roads. Mr. Boren believed this to be the next im portant good roads ttsp to take in his county, and he was met with hearty accord by tbe township cmmlssioners, of whom there was a large number present. The meeting" was the first held by the county board and their "advisory committee" sinca the township com missioners were ushered into office last year, and was for the purposa of exchanging ideas, of relating experi ences, and of discussing road matters in a general way witli a view of giv ing Guilford a still better and more economic system of highways A num ber of short talks were made by repre sentatives of the township commis sioners, and the meeting, which was called at 11 o'clock in the annex to the courthouse held for three hours, Mr. Boren said it had been found that narrow tires are very injurious to the roads and charged them with being mainly responsible for tbe con dition in which tha macadam roads are now. He said he did not believe the automobiles were responsible fcr the roads being cut up, as has been charged, although they may be respon sible in p3tt. "The point he erapha sied was that the narrow tires cut through the top surfaces of the roads down to the rocks, leaving them loose for the automobiles to pull up by suc tion. - Since the good roals were built in Guilford, he said, the number of nar row tired vehicles have greatly in crease:!, and at the same time there has been a ereat increase, almost double, in the amount of weight haul ed on tho roads. While the narrow tires with smail roaus and with a few er number of vehicles were Injurious' enough, with the increased number and the ibcreassi weight of ther loads made possible by good roads, the- in jury has been more severe, has been so severe, in fact, as to cause the county commissioners to be seeking about for ways and means of rebuild ing and resurfacing the roads. He credited the narrow tires with being responsible for this cutting up and loosening; up of the macadam, and he laid down the principle that where there is a harmful or bad connditioa of alLtirs, there must be a remedy, if the remedy can be found. The use of broad tires, ho declared as his belief as the best and most suitable remedy possible, 'and this belief he will advo cate and will endeavor to have ap plied. Mr. Boren believed that legislation on. the subject to be the best way of sacuring the U3d of broad tires, and in lieu of any better suggestion, lie will n38 his endeavors and bis influence in 63curing this at the earliest possible time. Tbe township road commission ers, by their reception of Lisjsugges tion yesterday, will co-operate with him and second his move in a demand for action. A toll fcr the us& of narrow tires is the legislation Mr. Boren suggested, and this he believes will be the best and quickest method of securing pro tection to the roads. He said it would take too long to educate the people to tbe idea. Greensboro News. Big Democratic Banquet. New York, April 13.

Col onel Theodore Roosevelt's sweeping victory in Pennsylvania at Saturday primary election kept growing today as the returns continued to come iu. Incomplete returns from every dit trict give the former President 65 ot the State'! 76 delegates in the Repub lican national convention. The Roos evelt supporters are claiming 67. and alter returns may carry the fig ares to thaf total. Colonel Roosevelt won 53 of the 64 district national delegates and his followers estimated enough delegates to the State convention to give themcontrol of that body. The state convention will name 13 dele gates at large. Gov. WooJrow Wilscn, o! New Jer sey, who had no organized opposition, will have 74 of the 76 delegates from Pennsylvania in the Democratic national convention. In tbe Eleventh Congressional District the two Demo cratic national delegates elected are favorable to Speaker Champ Clark. Politicians look upon the triumph ot Colonel Roosevelt' with astonish ment. The supporters of the former President were without a State organ ization in many or the S2 congreision al districts. The regular Republican organiza tion, headed by United Stakes Senator Holes Penrose, which has withstood the fury of many a political storm, received a crushing deleat In the loss ot control of the State convention.
