CULPABLE NEGLIGENCE
BATTLESHIPS FOR PROTECTION PROBERS POUND FAULTS JULY 4, 1912, DATE SET
HANDY TO HAVE AROUND IN
CASE OF TROUBLE
Merely a Matter of Precaution and
Intended Only to Protect In-
terests of Americans if
Such Was Necessary
Washington — President Taft re-
plied to President Gomez's telegram
regarding the attitude of the United
states toward Cuba. He declared the
American government’s activities in
mobilizing war vessels at Key West
and dispatching the Prairie with ma-
rines to Guantanamo was not in any
sense an intervention move.
The following is the text of the
message:
"I am sincerely gratified to learn
Ot your government's energetic meas-
ures to put down the disturbance and
to know that you are confident of be-
ing successful. As was fully ex-
plained to the Cuban charge d’affaires,
this government's motive in sending
ships to Key West, just as sending the
Prairie to the Guantanamo naval sta-
tion, was merely to be able to act
promptly in case it should become
necessary to protect American life and
property by rendering moral support
Dr assistance to the Cuban govern-
ment. As was made quite clear at the
time, ‘these ordinary measures of pre-
;aution were entirely disassociated
from any question of Intervention.
"WH. H. TAFT.”
Havana—President Gomez has re-
leived the message from President
Taft disclaiming the intent of the
Dnited States to Intervene.
He immediately summoned a meet-
ng of the cabinet to which he com-
nunicated the text of the message, ex-
»reus!ng bis highest appreciation of
President Taft's attitude.

Washington.—Blame for the Titanic
disaster is chargeable directly to the
failure of the dead Captain Smith to
heed repeated warnings of iceberg6
ahead, but responsibility for unnec-
essary’ loss of life must be shared
by Captain Lord of the steamship Cal-
ifornia, through his disregard of dis-
tress signals. This is the finiding of
the senate committee which investi-
gated the sinking of the Titanic, as
prepared in a comprehensive speech
delivered by William Alden Smith, of
Michigan, chairman of the committee.
Senator Smith declared that respon-
sibility also rests upon the British
board of trade, "to whose laxity of
regulation, and hasty inspection," the j hom~ cTty' dirt. ’ That will be the
Money and Land Turned Over to
State and Everything Ready to
Make Oklahoma City's Prom-
ises Good—Other News
Oklahoma City.—Unless circum-
stances arise which are not now
deemed even remotely possible, and
which must of necessity be in the na-
ture of a visitation of providence, Ok-
lahoma City will have the state
capitol building under way by July 4.
On that date, a statewide celebra-
tion is beii|g planned by the local
Chamber of Commebrs to properly
ci^nmemorate the actual beginning
of construction work on the state cap-
itol building. It will cost at least
$1,000,000 and from the present indi-
cations, It may cost double that, the
amount to be determined later.
Governor Lee Cruce will insert a
specially manufactured spade into the
earth and bring forth a load of Okla-
world iB largely indebted for the aw-
start ou the excavation for the new
ful fatality.” In denouncing Captain capitol

chastisement of those guilty, asserted j port of their action aI1(1 will suggest
the senator, and he quoted British
law to show that Captain Lord might
be prosecuted for a misdemeanor.
Other conclusions presented, in i
brief, were as follows:
Before the Titanic departed on heT
maiden voyage there were no suffi-
cient tests of boilers, bulkheads,
equipment of signal devices.
Officers and crew were Btrangers
•to each other and not familiar with
the ship's implements or tools, end
no drill or station practice took place
Lend no helpful discipline prevailed.
The speed of the Titanic was 241-1
miles an hour at the time at the acct-
-Hent, eithougti officers of the Titanic
bad been advised of the presence of
icebergs by the steamships Baltic,
Amerika and California.
Passengers were not advised Of
danger, although President Ismay of
the White Star line, who was talcing
the vessel’s maiden voyage, was In-
formed. No general alarm -was given
nor any organized system ol safety
undertaken.
Of the 1,324 passengers and 898
•members of crew on board there was
room in lifeboats for only 1,176 per-
sons, and because of lack of orderly
discipline the boats took off only 704
persons, 14 being rescued from the
water.
Officers of the White War line “bat-
died with the truth” after receiving
information from their Montreal of-
fice Monday morning following Che ao-
cident.
Captain Rostron, of the rescue
ship Oarpathia was praised by 'Sena-
tor Smith and he urged that congress
recognize his valor.
Just before delivering fhis speech
8enator Smith, chairman -of the sub- j
committee, which investigated the
how the proposition should be hand-
led in the future; and, finally, the cit-
izens will turn themselves loose in the
most approved and unrestrained man-
ner for a full holiday with parades
and addresses during the day and the
pyrotechnics at night.

“1 shall lend every encouragement
To the proposed celebration,’’ declared
•Governor Cruce Saturday. “I have re-
ceived $100,000 from the State Capitol
Building company, properly signed by
Mr. Colcord, president, and have alao
received the deeds to much at the
land. There are but a few defects In
the remaining titles, but they are In-
significant and should in no wise tn-
tterfere with the beginning of con-
struction. I am ln hearty sympathy
with the movement to hasten the
work, consistent with thorough and
economic preparation, 1 have not
agreed upon any plans or blue-prints,

to supply these preliminaries. It has

plans of the first architect who might
present them—I shall take sufficient
