HEARD A WARNING BUT WASJOO LATE Testimony of Quartermaster of Titanic Before the Britons. (National News Association LONDON, May 7. Testimony to show that the White Star liner Titanic was making such speed when warning was given that an iceberg lay dead ahead that her course could not be changed to avert disaster was given when the British government inquiry into the great sea tragedy was resumed in the London Scottish drill hall today. This was the first session since last Friday, the wreck commissioners utilizing the interim to inspect the liner Olympic, sister ship of the Titanic. Robert Hitchens, quartermaster ofthe Titanic, who was saved when the ship went down, was the first witness called today. It was he who gave the testimony relative to the fateful speed of the great ship and that "Capt. E. 4. Smith was in his cabin at the time of the accident."" , The quartermaster was interrogated by Lord Mersey, presiding' judge and by counsel for the board of trade and the White Star line. "Did" you hear the 3-bells' warning from the lookout in the crowsnest that something was ahead?" "Yes, I heard the warning." - "How long after the warning, was the order given to port the helm?" "About half a minute." "A telephone message came from the crowsnest that an iceberg lay in the ship's path," Hitchens explained. "An order was immediately sent to the engineroom. Up to the time of the three bells of warning there had been no change in the vessel's speed." Additional counsel appeared when the hearing went on today. Thomas Roche appeared for the Marine Engineers and Robert Harrison for the Iriak steerage passengers. TEASJED ON LOBSTER. Hs Did It en the Sly and Rspsntod I Sorely Afterward. j Some years ago the government transplanted about 20,000 eastern lobsters in Monterey bay,- Before shipping wooden pegs had been put in their claws so that they couldn't fight with each other en route to this coast Before transplanting those in chargo neglected to remove the wooden pegs, with the result that the lobsters all died. The government accordingly sent another shipment and this time saw that the pegs had been removed before planting the lobsters. Some time thereafter the Albatross steamed into Monterey bay, under the command of the United States fish commission, looking for results of the transplanting. Lobster traps were set at different points, but nary a lobster was captured. The government then posted notices offering $2,000 for a specimen of the transplanted lobsters. Two years passed. A Santa Crua fisherman, out in his little smack, caught one of the lobsters. Then, thinking that there was a law against catching them, he sneaked the lobster to his home, cooked it. ate it and destroyed all evidence. Later he. divulged the secret to some other fishermen. "I caught a lobster sixteen inches long." he said. "What!" they, exclaimed. "Yes, and I was afraid to sell It, so I ate it myself." -You ate itr "Yes." And tbey broke to him the sad news that there was a reward of $2,000 for a sample lobster from the bay. -And I had a $2,000 meair said the fisherman and fainted. San Francisco Chronicle.

STEREOTYPERS ARE ORDEREDJO WORK

President of Union Declares They Struck in yiolation of Contract. (National News Association) CHICAGO, May 7. The strike of newspaper pressmen, stereotypers, newsboys and wagon drivers took a new turn today when President James J.-Freel, of the Stereotypers' Interna- j tional organization, came to Chicago with the avowed intention of forcing the men in his union to return to work. The walkout of the stereotypers, Freel asserted, was Illegal. They had, he said, violated their contract and he ordered them by telegram and long distance telephone from Newark, N. J., to return to work. When they refused, Freel, with other International officers, hurried to Chicago, Today he planned to meet the officers fit the striking local here and order ' them back to work. The strike which was called only a few days after the stereotypers had signed their contract with the publishers here may Involve the local union in serious difficulties with the International bodies. President Freel's telegram ordering the men back was specific. Since the order was disobeyed, it is likely that a serious penalty will be imposed on the strikers here and it is said that the executive committee may vote the revocation of the local's charter for disobedience and violation of contract. One Curious Phase. The most serious phase of the strike today is the newsboys' walkout. Distribution of papers is still greatly hampered. Although the papers were sold on the streets in the downtown sections yesterday under heavy police protection, the morning papers' distritution was again seriously impeded today. Morning papers Issued in sixteen-page form were published as us ual but they were an hour late in reaching the suburban stations and in all parte of the city it was impossible for those going down town during the early hours to get copies of the papers. No papers were on sale at the elevated stations until late in the morning while in the downtown section no attempt was made to sell papers until the morning rush was fairly under way. In sections of the city where violence was anticipated the newspapers were sent out under heavier guard than ever. Automobile trucks were escorted by a convoy of motorcycle policemen. No reports of violence were received during the early hours. Disorders marked . the sale of papers late yes terday, however, and streets in the loop district today were strewn with late -editions of the afternoon papers that had been' takn away from venders by strikersand their .sympathisers.,'.; 1 " ' '""" ' " ' i' '' '" A Close Student.

With his best characteristic pose At torney Johnson stood before the jury box and declared that Eschenfelder, the prosecuting witness against Mrs. Bodkins, is the "prince of thieves, the like of which has never been known in the criminal annals of Wayne county."

Leaders said that if 35,000 votes about one-fourth of the full vote If polled, they will be surprised. Leaders on the Underwood side, made confident claims becane this It Mr. Underwood s native state but the. Wilson managers were not far behind in their own predlcitions.
