NOTABLE NAMES MISSING
One Garbled Name Believed to Be
That Of George D. Widener-An-
other Ship Goes Out to
Search.


OF names of bodies recovered from the
Titanic disaster by the cable steamer
Mackay-Bennett was received here
through wireless messages to the
White Star line Offices.
The list of 25 names contain none
of several of the most prominent men
who persisted unless it be that Geo.
w. Widen as sent by wireless refer
rs Is believed probable to George D.
Widener of Philadelphia.
The original passenger lists of the
Titanic do not mention Widen,
which apparently established the
identity of the body as that of Mr.
Widener, son OF P. A. B. Widener, one
of the directors of the White Star
line who, together with his son, Harry,
was lost.
The list as received at the White

A number of the Is names in the
nst do not check up with the Titanic's
passenger list, which leads to the be-
lief that a number of the bodies re-
covered are members of the Titanic's
crew.
Names Much GarbIed.
The White Star officials studied
without success in interpreting the
meaning OF some Of the spellings, and
came to the conclusion that many of
them we're badly garbled because Of
g. $I.nx Rn$
II came via the steamer La COMA to
the Cape Race wireless station and
was sent by cable to New York. Tele-
graph operators acquainted with both
Morse and continental code speculat-
ed as to whether the names of Maj.
Archibald Butt and Col. John Jacob
Astor were intended in two instances,
but they could come to no decision,
that appeared trustworthy in such a
case.
In the list as it came the following
combination appeared:
"Nihl Schedig r. B. Att which
operators believe might have been in.
tended for Major Archibald Butts
name.
Similar speculation developed over
the name IN. Colas Rasher." name
which the White Star line could not
sccount for and which telegraph oper-
ltors thought might be Col. Astor's.
The White Star line dispatched Z
message in an effort to clear up such
questionable interpretations.
According to message from Troy,
has been recovered, was the foreign
representative OF Cluett. Peabody &
Co., OF that city. He was returning
with his wife from South America,
having gone to Europe for brief Wis
It. They postponed their departure
to take the Titanic. Mrs Halverson
was saved.

PRESS. FAvoRs SESSION.

President-elect Wilson, 1t Is stated
will make announcement about the
middle of December whether or not
he will call an extra session of Con.
gress. This statement came from
Princeton Monday while he was dis.
GUESSING the matter with the newspa-

to give him ample time to think the
matter over and consult with the
party leaders
While the President-elect is reyoly.
ing the question through his mind
those who favor early action on the
tariff viii continue to urge that def
mite steps be taken, and the people
be given the assurance that something
will be done to relieve them of the
unjust burden they have been carry
ing for so many years.
The New York World has asked all
the party leaders for an expression
on the matter and the majority Of
them are anxious that the session be
called and that the tariff be dispos.
ed of so other questions can be given
attention when the regular session
begins in December, 1913. After re-
ceiying these expression The World
has taken the initiative in urging
upon Governor Wilson to yield to
their wishes, 80 the business interests
of the country will know what to ex-
poet.
This seems to be the prevailing
opinion OF the leading Democratic pa
pers of the country, and their influ-
ence may be strong enough to cause
the extra session to be called.
