Mrs. Henry Revor, 808 Bemidji Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “The public statement I gave in October, 1910, about Doan’s Kidney Pills was true. The benefit they brought me has been permanent. I suffered from backache for weeks at a time and it seemed that I could get nothing that ‘would give me relief.

Senators on Titanic Inves- tigating Committee Are Former Sailors. SMITH MAKES FUNNY BREAKS Chairman Amuses Spectatora by Lack of Seamanship Knowledge—Por- kins and Bourne Know Ship From Stem to Stera. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Senator Willlam Al den Smith, who is chairman of the committee on inquiry into the Titanic disaster, was given the chairmanship of the body as a recognition of the fact that he was the first senator to offer in the senate a resolution ot in- quiry into the causes of the wreck. Mr. Smith is from Michigan and he 18 & newspaper proprietor and a lawyer. ‘When asked about the newspaper busi- Bess the senator always says that he Wwent into it when he was a mere child, and so he did. ‘When the Michigan senator was & little boy his father died, leaving the widow and son virtually without any means of support. William Alden Smith, a mere boy, went to work to support his mother. In those days transportation was not as rapid as it is today and the mnews dealers of young Smith's town vied with each other to get the first coples of the Chicago morning papers. The pres- ent senator at the age of eleven used to walt at the rallroad station at an early hour in the morning ‘on the chance that the Chicago papers would come in on a train on which they oc- caslonally came in advance of the HOTEL RADISSON MINNEAPOLIS FINEST IN THE NORTHWEST LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THE RETAIL DISTRICT, NEAR THE LEADING THEATERS, CON- VENIENT TO EVERYTHING.

The partner of Mr. Smith in this early venture is New_York and every winter the sena- tor is a guest at a dinner given by the corporation chief to the employes of his concern. Senator Smith also tn his early days blacked boots, and he is not at all ashamed today to refer to the fact. When he was about fifteen years old he was made a page in the Michigan legislature and later he sat in the body In which he had been an errand oy, and so he came to the lower house of congress and later was ad- vanced to the senate. Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., who Is also a member of the Titanic dis- aster investigating committee, recent- ly was defeated for the senate in the primaries of his state, Oregon. Mr. Bourne for years has been an advocate of the primary system, and his defeat at home was unexpected in Washing- ton. It'is said here that he owes it to over-confidence in the result, for he did not go to Oregon to plead his own cause. Senator Bourne has not taken an ac- tive questioning part in the investi- gation, because that work is left al- most entirely to-the committee’s chair- man, Senator Smith. There are men in- Washington who wish that Mr. Bourne would ask mare questions, for he is eminently qualified to deal with questions of the sea. His father was one of the great whalers of New Eng- land, a man who knew ships from stem to stern and from topmast to keel, and he imparted his knowledge to his son, not only in lessons, but by gending him to sea. Senator Bourne once was shipwrecked and went through many - dangers Iike those which attended the rescue of the pas- Perkine Was a Seaman. Senator Perkins of California, who 8lso is on the Titanic investigating committee, spent several years as an able seaman. He knows the sea and ships, and while he has not asked many questions during the course of the Investigation, he made many notes, and his judgment will be rkon(‘_ dered on the case at its end. < The sallors who have testified B, tpe\_ Titanic case have shown &omething’ very much like amusemert, an st bly savoring of contempt, of ‘the lack of seamanship knowledge as'shown by, some of the ‘questions which they arg, asked, ' ‘It 'is " needless to say that noné of these questions were asked by e two members of the committee who were formerly sailors. Sepator Smith had an idea that the water- tight compartments were places of refuge for women and children, not knowing that they were depended up- on to keep the ship afloat, and if the. doors had been opened to admit any- body or anything the water would have rushed in and everybody would have gone to the bottom. The ship’s officer who was asked if any women tight compartment was completely “fabbergasted” by the question. He, of course, was aware of the.dignity of the occasion, but he had to gasp and then smile at the corners ot his mouth when the question was put to him. The audfence was not as self-contained &s the sallor witness. Its emile de- veloped into a laugh. It probably was & slip of Senator Smith’'s tongue, but the question proved that he is very much of a landsman, Without the Stork.
