THE VICIKITT OP tWZ DISASTER, THE CARPATKZA, IT WAl

STATED, WAS RETURNING .TO HEW TORE WITH THE SURVTVOeaw)

NEW TORK. April 16.—The White Star liner Titanic, the world'*. Cr»*ta*f.steamship, ha* gone down some MO miles off Cape Race with CM of her LOT aaa-scngers and her fu l l crew of MO men on board.

That the greatest catastrophe In maritime history ha* occurred to a vaaBti attheir line Is admitted late to-night by the officials of the WhHe Star 8taHs*BB>Company In New York.

The liner Carpathla, the first vcsa«: to come within sight of the Titanic r**-cued all the TlUnic's lifeboats, in which were (70 persons, most of them W1*a*eBand children. Many women and children, however, have perished.

When the Carpathia reached the Ill-fated vessel no sign of life wae to ba eaeoanywhere, the mountainous ocean swells giving mute evidence to the ttaawdBMdisaster.

Early reports Mated that all the passengers and the aw of the Tltaal* te6been taken off by the Allan liners Virgin ian and the Parisian, and the Caraatnta,but wireless messages received here to-night discredit thca« reports in evwrdetail.

That the sinklnc. "f the Titanic was witnessed from the bridge of the Carpathla,which was leading the Parisian and the Vi t s in i an to the rescue, la believed her*to-night. That the vessel was seen through the classes of the, Carpathla's cap-tain to be afloat is regarded aa the aouree .if theye early encouraging reports.

NONE LIVES TO TELL THE TALE.Xo hope is held out at the offices of the U'hitc Star l ine that any man oa boarA

has survived to tel l the story or the final sinking of the levathan. although eooMof the women In the boats may have witnessed the f inking. Only by a mirttele. Itla pointed out. could any person who ctoud by the ship eacape the great vaaael'*powerful suction us she sank to the bottom.

The Titanic r.a.rried the most notable, list of passengers ever borneAl!antla\by one veisol. Home coming American tourists arramjed theirwaeks ago so as to ride the new wonder of the seaa on her maiden voyaga.

To-nlght's diapetchea state that the Titanic went down at 2.JB o'olack tM* iIng. The delay in the transmission of the newi Is attributed to the tact th.dUrpatches have been subject to dif f icul t tetays.

The collision of the Titanic with an Iceberg is now known to na.v»head-on crash that occurred while the Mner was proceeding at little l«a* tJuta h*rbest speed, ."-'he was a day Ahead of her schedule, and It It consideredthat an attempt to make a record-breaking voyag-i wu the hope of herwhen she entered the Ice field.

Her forward plates \vere completely wrecked, a caplng wound opening below barwater l ine and le t t inc the w a t e r into lier fo rwa id compartments.

In the mean t ime the l ifeboats were manned and Into them *crn placed a* raanpof the women and r l - i M i e n :is they could hold. These hoats were put' off wkltathere xva* yet .u>,me hope of holding the Titanic afloat u n t i l her wireless me**agee)could hr i i iK lielp.

The work of getting the lifeboats away, the work of allaying the fears of th*great crowd of passenger* as much as nos-ible. the work of keeping the pump* inoperation and the engines throbbing— th»j» tasks and countless others were directedby Captain Smith, tlie venerable commtnder of the Titanic, who before his ap-pointment was the commander of the Olympic. He displayed almost superhumanpower of mind ami I idy In thf world's mo-t horriMe »e» disaster.

A wlieless menage from the Virginian states that the. occupants of the emailboats which she picked up ha\e been transferred to the Carpavnia, which ie pro-

The offices of the Astor estate areclosed. Of course nothing has beendone about filing a will or taking tl-.einit iative steps toward settling ColonelAstor's estate.

New York. April 20.— The Senate comniiUeo nppoiiHcd to inves-tigate the sinking of thc liner Titanic closed a day of unearthingdevelopments of supremo importance by having1 QuartermasterHichens of the Titanic takeji from the outgoing liner Lapland atSandy Hook and brought back to this city under a subpoena.

Hichens had started for Southampton with 181 other membersof the crew O:E the ill-fated vessel, having been released by the com-mittee after several officers -and members of the crew had beenselected to remain for further examination.

After the Lapland had sailed, however. Senator William AldenSmith, chairman of the committee, discovered new facts which madeit imperative that Hichens testify. The wireless was used and theLapland held until a tug arrived.

Hie h GILS is said 1o have been at tho Titanic's wheol when shestruck the iceberg. This act is considered almost the limit of theuse of federal power.

The investiating: committee concluded itJj hearing1 in Xew York to-dsyand subpoenaed President J.

All available survivors of Che Titanic will be called beforethe committee, inc lud ing Mrs. .T. J. Astor, Colonel Gracie and relatives of allthe prominent men who were lost.

CLARA BARTON'SLIFE OliREVEALED IN NOIES

Friend Declares Her NameWrongfully Used in Red

W HEN THE SENATE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE resumed its sessionsin Washington to-day several ugly facts concerning the sinking of the Titanicglared forth from the mass of evidence already obtained in the three days that

have elapsed since the first of the ship's survivors arrived in New York.The events in their order as given below are believed to constitute a damaging

moral indictment against the officers of the International Merchant Marine and itsmanaging director, J. Bruce Ismay.

These are the facts that stand forth prominentlyThe ship was making twenty-five miles an hour. This speed was being maintained

despite repeated warnings from other ships of the presence of icebergs and two warn-ings from the ship's crow's nest that icebergs had been sighted.

The Titanic struck the iceberg at 11:45 o'clock and sank three hours later. Thenext day reports were received that the collision had occurred and that the ship wassinking. Later in the day the report was given out that the passengers were all safeand that ihe ship was being brought into Halifax.

All this time that the news of the disaster was being withheld, J. Bruce Ismay, onboard the Carpathia, was in constant touch with the While Star officers and was plan-ning to tranship the officers and crew rescued from the Titanic as soon as they arrivedand before an investigation could be made.

Almost as startling as the facts which have been cited is the statement issued byIsmay himself in which he puts the entire blame for the catastrophe upon Captain

Smith:He admits that the Captain notified him of the presence of icebergs, but declares

that h«i was merely a passenger and would riot have in any event attempted to tell theCaptain what to >\lo.

calamity, showed to-day that the investigation would he the mostdrastic evisr conducted by a body of American legislators.

When the Senate committee resumed its labors here to-il*y, Itwas with the intention of bringing light to b«arrupon th«se points:

1—Why was tho high speed of the liner continued despite" th«^warnings &f the great-fields of ice?

2—Why did the White Star line announce the safety of fill pas-sengers last Monday and that the vessel was being towed to H'alifax,when a vessel of its own line had received earlier in the day absoluteinformation that the Titanic had sunk?

3—Why were the details of the disaster "bottled up" while theCarpathia was coming to New York? Was it for the purpose ofsecuring large compensation to certain employes of the Marconicompany for their stories of the disaster?
