A peculiar fact In connection with this terrible accident, is the fact that the White Star line, owners of the ill-fated 1 boat, have been ableto withhold the news of how and why the big vessel sank, but they are doing it. In this modern age of newspaperdom, it seems impossible that four days after an accident, but 1,100 miles at sea. an authentic and complete story is not obtainable, but such is the case, due solely to the fact that the operator on the Carpathia, no doubt under orders from his company, has ignored all inquiries, further than the giving of a list of those aboard.

It is an ill wind that blows nobody good and by the tinfe the average American citizen is ready for his trip abroad there will probably be all manner of safety devices. Carpathia Nearing CONTINUED FROM TAGE ONE of anxious friends and relatives of the survivors of the Titantic disaster and of passengers of the Carpathia beseiged the office of Surveyor Henry todaj for passage to the pier where the sor-row-awaited Carpathia is expected to arrive tonight. The demand was so great that Mr. Henry has found it necessary to request that all give way io the friends and relatives of the grieistricken persons awaiting their friends and relatives from the Titanic. The dull line of anguish in the faces of those demanding passages were wo n to the point of collapse by the fotir days of grief-stricken vigils, forecasted a scene of horror that will mark the arrival of the people tonight. New York, N. V., April IS —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The I'nited States scout cruiser Salem today despaired of forcing news from the liner Carpathia regarding the Titanic ocean i tregedy. This was indicated in a message sent to the Brooklyn navy yards . today from the Salem and relay to the i secretary of the navy at Washington. The message read as follows: "As i yet no information from the Carpa- ■ thia of any kind. I think w e are in the i range o: communication. She Botn<- ■ times acknowledges calls, but at no time will admit receipt of messages or make any reply. I cannot believe that she failed to understand the messages sent her. She is within each range of torpedo stations, so the Salem will go to Bradford this afternoon." The message was signed by Mandies, commander of the Salem. It was definitely settled today that either Isadore Strauss or his wife was saved from the sinking Titanic The

following message was received by Percy Strauss here, which was given out by the White Star line: "Every boat is watched. Father and mother not on Carpathia.” The message was signed "Bagenoch.” He was a buyer for the L. H. Macy’ company, of which Isadore Strauss was the chief head, and who sailed on the Carpathia from England to the United Spates. Senator Lawson, chairman of the senate committee, today announced at \\ ashington that the sub-committee will make an investigation of the Titanic shipwreck. The sub-committee consists of Senator Smith, republican, of Michigan: Perkins, republic? ot Cp v rnia: Hour -epubltca. ’ Oreg ir- | von. lican. t, Si

is feared that excitement ban driven some oi the surviving women to a verge of Insanity. The White Star officers here .nt S o'clock thia morning posted a bulletin that the t'ari>atlua will dock here at 9 o'clock tonight. The company has reserved hotel ucommodatlona for those of the survivors who wish to go. DOINGS IN SOCIETY A Delightful Affair Was Linen Shower for Miss Bell at Hoffman Home.
