Waiting for Their Dead
Borrowing ConcOurse of Bereaved Mourners of Titanic Victims
 at Halifax

Halifax, April 26-With great wagon loads of collins and rough boxes rumbling through the streets of Hali- fax and haggard men and women haunting the White Star offices and telegraph offices in a vain search for news of the morgue-ship Mackay. Bennett, the anxious death watch of mourners for the victims of the lost Titanic continued, today.
 The deadening stereotyped stNo news yet"-which has characterized every phase of the Titanic disaster-became the watchword again, today. AL though the death laden Mackay-Ben- nett was we'll within wireless cor1- munication, not a spark of news of the vessels awful cruise reached this port. Red-eyed relatives and friends of Titanic victims, restless with their long vigil, formed a procession of sorrow from the crowded hotel Hobbies to the White Star offices, the tele- graph offices and the newspaper of- fees and back to the hotels again.
 While everyone in Halifax believes that the Mackay-Bennett is now load ed to capacity with bodies there has been no word from her that she has started back for Halifax Many be- lieve that the silent wireless means only that the captain of the morgue- ship wishes to dock as quietly as pos. sible. avoiding the morbid crowd that would be sure to gather if her ap- proach was manifest.
 Great preparation for care of the dead was begun today. Five hundred glistening caskets reached here and were ruahed to the undertaking es-

ANDREWS KNEW l, Z TITANIC WAS GOING DOWN

Washington, April 26.-Dramatic pictures of the Titanie's death agony. told in the simple language of sailors who witnessed 1t, were given to the members of the Senate Investigating committee in separate executive ses- sicns yesterday, according to testi- mony made public, today.
 Albert Hains. boatswain's mate, told of his taking charge of life boat and helping 50 passengers and members of the crew into it. He did not go back near the ship to pick up those who went down because his capacity.
 Samuel S. Hemming, a lamp trim mer, told Senator Smith that after he had been awakened by the impact of the Titanic's collision with the ice berg he went back to his bunk and only left it when the boatswain came into his room and shouted: Turn out, you fellows, you haven't half an hour to live.'
 ''The boatswain,'' Hemming con- tinued, "tsaid that is from MT. An drews.. Keep it to yourself and let no one know. MT. Andrews was one of the firm of builders of the Titanic. This occurred quarter of an hour from the time the ship struck
 Hemming told of putting lamps, al- ready lit, in several lifeboats.
 Groves boat, No. 16, sprung leak and the witness said that very short ly there' was eight inches of water in her. Because of this number of the passengers were transferred to an- other boat. Previously women pas sengers had assisted in bailing out the boat.

CALIFORNIAN IGNORED DISTRESS ROCKETS OF

tablishment where the bodies will bt prepared for burial. TRAGIC END OF
 MERRY HOLIDAY Eight Years Old Lad In- stantly Killed Returning
 from Ball Game

Daniel Andrews, eight years old son of Mrs. Mary M. Andrews, a wid- ow of 32s Bunnell street, was in- stantly killed by the west bound ex- press due here at 12:27 p. m. when bn with other youngsters was walk ing the tracks just west of the Baird Machine Co. in Stratford.
 The .youngster was one of a party of boys who taking advantage of the holiday occasioned by the teachers convention, had gathered at Knowl- ton park, Stratford for a ball game. Returning for the noon hour the boys crossed lots, planned to cut across the tracks and out upon Stratford ave- nue.
 Part of the youngsters cleared the tracks before the express rounded the curve. The little Andrews boy became confused, apparently at the blasts of the engineers whistle and stood unable to save himself as the engine bore down upon him. Harold Hayes, playmate, shouted as he saw the danger but Daniel couldn't es- cape. He was tossed many feet.
 His head was crushed and his body badly bruised.
 The train brought the victim to the station where the ambulance met the victim but life was extinct. Rourke & Rourke took charge of the remains, and Coroner Phelan directed Medical Examiner Cogswell of StratfOrd to in- vestigate.

You'll See New
 Policemen After
 Next Wednesday

Quite a shake-up in the local po- lice department will take place with the enforcing of the regular bi- monthly change of detail in effect May 1. .
 The detail posted today shows that with very few exceptions the men who have done duty for years in East Bridgeport have been shifted to the center and West End, and those who have been in the center and in the West End for a continuous period have been shifted proportionately.
 A casual glance at the detail that IT patrolmen who lately have been attached to the Second precinct. in East Bridgeport will be in the First or Central Precinct after May 1. Of these IF, only 2 have ever done duty anywhere but in East Bridgeport.
 Eight men attached to the First Precinct will be on duty in the Third Precinct. Patrolman Beamer, whose friends predicted that he would soon be back on the so called permanent posts in Water street, is still on a night detail. in the Third precinct. These are but few figures showing the extent of the changes.
 r It's a safe bet that unless you live where you see the permanent post men, or the traffic officers, on duty. that after May 1 you'll see a police man you never saw before, except in the parades.
 Its for the good of the service, " said Supt. Birmingham. Beyond that he would not discuss the changes. It is known however, that he made the changes at the behest of the police commissioners, who concluded that no harm could come, from general transfer of all members of the de- partment.
 There is no change in the traffic officers, excepting that Patrick Lynch supplants James Walker during the latter's trip to England. The bicycle policemen of last year, Flood, O'Neil, Hayes and James Burnes, are re-aS- sigred to the same duty.
 Patrolman SimOns is still detailed to the detective bureau. Patrolman

Washington, April 26-'"rhere is no truth whatever in the story of Err nest Gill that the Californian saw and ignored distress signals from the Ti- tanic," persistently declared Captain Stanley Lord, of the Californian, im- mediately upon his arrival here from Boston to testify before the Senate in- vestigating committee.
 Accompanying Captain Lord was the Caiifornian's wireless operator, D. C.. Evans
 "I was asleep from 11:30 Sunday night until $50 Monday morning" Evans said. "Not until $50 did we hear of the Titanic wreck, and then 1t was through a message from the Virginia"

DEATH AND DANGER LURK IN FUNERAL CORTECE OF
 WELL KNOWN RESIDENT
LOSES LIFE IN
 NEW YORK FIRE

New York, April 26-One man waa killed, three men and three women were injured in fire that this after noon swept through the five story building at 21 Bowery. The place is occupied by 12 firms of sweatshop manufacturers and was filled with in- fammable materials. The fire orig mated on the top floor and to that fact alone is due the small loss of life.
 The fire escapes were of the old fashioned type with egress from the bottom possible only by an iron drop ladder. The first of the employees out tried to drop the ladder. It was very heavy and stuck. A panic followed and the frightened men and women finally jumped. Jake Schdncknot was almost instantly killed. Some of the injured were taken to the hospital while others had their hurts dressed by the ambulance surgeons.
 Most of the employees in the various sweatshops were girls and women and they were greatly frightened. fearing repetition of the Triangle horror.

Reilly is assistant city court officer. The Water street policemen, who do duty in pairs. remain the same, Coughlin and Holbrook, and Halpin and Bray.
 Some of the men on duty days, who have only an hour for the noon hour. have been left near their homes, fol- lowing a custom that the commits sioners apparently aim to abolish. When these men go on duty nights however, they will get a shift as big as any of the other men.
