Woteon of the steam- ship Royal Edward sighted a big ice- berg barely two lengths dead ahead of him in @ dense fog in mid-Atlantic he did not hesitate, Mindful of what happened to the Titanic, the master of the Royal Edward rammed the berg head on and escaped with minor damages. The tale of Capt. Woteon's re- markable daring was enthusiastically related here to-day when the Royal Edward arrived from Montreal. The 650 passengers on the vessel declared they probably owed their lives to him. On May 23, while the Royal Ed- ward was proceeding at low speed bocause of @ fox, sounding her horn constantly, Capt. Woteon, from the bridge, saw the towering facade of a huge berg threatening his ship. Only 1,200 feet intervened between the slowcring monster and the Royal Ed- ward. Knowing the icebergs shelve outward under water, the captain feared to try to turn his ship. The ice mountain was too close to allow time for reversal of the engines in an attempt to back away. Accord- ingly the captain took a desperate chance and ordered his navigator to proceed dead ahead, As many of the Pasengers as could be reached in the brief spell before the iceberg would be struck were warned to stand by for a hock, Moving very slowly the Royal Ed- ward hit the berg with a crash. Pas- sengers who had been below and could not be warned, hurried in alarm |up the companionways, believing the jehip to be sinking. They were quickly reassured by the captain, officers and stewards and when the threatened panic was averted and the men and women understood what Capt. Woteon had done, they were profuse in their gratitude, believing that the captain's quick decision saved them from going to the bottom. Examination showed the stem of the liner to be twisted and several plates buckled, but otherwise the ship not damaged. Meantime tho proceeded on her way. It was believed that the captain took the only chance Had the ship been \arned, it might have struck a shelf of ice beneath the water line and been so ripped that her watertight bulkheads would have been rendered useless, ‘t-au-Prince.

Giynn places a corps of | settlement workers in the new State Bureau of Pmplovment, the chiet office of which wil be opened in this Jelty on August 1, the experiment will fall, was the prediction made to-day by Meyer Bloomfield, director of the Boston Vocation Bureau, at the first business session of the Inter-City Conference of Settlements at the Bast Bide Settlement House at No, 540 Kast Seventy-sixth street. . Mr. Bloomfield told 200 delegates and settiemem workers from most | of the eastern coast cities, that New York now has the opportunity of teaching the nation a great lesson In the safeguarding of children start- ing on a bustness career, He de- cleared that neither the city nor the State could make a success of the new employment bureaus unless so- | elal workers were employed to in- vestigate the conditions surrounding each application for a position. “Oficals of the Btate who will be placed in charge of the new bureaus,” | Mr. Bloomfield said, “will be under ‘such pressure in their executive duties that they will be unable to acomplish the social work necessary for the gucessful operation of a labor bureau. This is particularly true in regard to applications of children.” He urged the settlement workers of this efty to make an open stand on the matter and to ask the Governor to consider the suggestion.

In explaining the reason for the President's change of plans, Beore- tary Tumulty issued the following wtatement: “When the invitation was extended by the committee representing the G. A.
