CAPT. ROBERTS MAKES DENIAL
News Bureaus Quotation on Titanic
Disaster Was Incorrect.

Captain u. J. Roberts. marine surerin-
tendent OF the Cunard Line, has written N
TIE Tribune denying he made the statement
contained in an article on April 10 rela-
tive to the arrival of the THAMES survivors
on the steamship Carpathia. in which he
was quoted as saying:
Gentlemen, the panic on board the Titanic
was caused by the men whom We would
naturally expect to attempt 10 avert such
a thing. Ii was our congressman, our
Senators and our biz men who led in the
crush for the lifeboats.
This statement came from a news bureau.
In denying the quotation Captain Roberts
writes:
have nothing but the most profound re-
Spect for the brave men. no matter what
their rank may be, who lost their lives IN
the Titanic disaster. This is no time TO
criticise the rich or poor-too much Of this
Is being done.

Miss Edmands has been doing only VIVA,

The periodical reports that she was IN
