crew and passengers. on board the Ii
tanic.
The report from the olympic states that
the Leyland liner California was remain
ing and searching the vicinity Of the
disaster. The CarpathIa, 1t was said.
was returning to New York with the
survivors.
NEW YORK. April l5.-vice President
Franklin Of the White star steamship
line at $40 o'clock tonight conceded that
there had been "a horrible loss of life"
m the Titanic dlss~ter., lie said that
he had no information to dlsproye the
Associated Press dispatch from Cape
Race 10 the effect that only 6i5 OF the
passengers and crew had been rescued.
lie said that tho monetary loss could
not be estimated tonight although he
lntimated that 1t would run into ths
millions
I'VE replace the money" he added
but not the lives"
Mr., Franklin continued:
AS far as we know It has been rumored
from Halifax that three steamers have
passengers on board. namely. the Vir-
glnian. the Carpathla and Partisan. Now
We have heard from Captain Haddock
that the Titanic sank at 2:2g this morning.
We have also learned from him that the
Carpathla had SIS survivors on board. 1t
is very difficult to learn II the Virginian
and the Partisan have any survivors, on
board. We have asked Captain Haddock
and our agent at Halifax to ascertain II
there are any passengers aboard the two
steamships.
Vice President Franklin positively re-
fused to give out the full text of the
message received from Captain Haddock
Of the Olympic. reporting the sinking of
the Titanic. This attitude led TO the
belief that the message intimsted loss
Of life. which the company desired to
confirm before spreading alarm.
Mr.. Franklin said Captain Haddoek's
message was very brief and neglected
to say that all the.crew had been saved. q"
1t said that the carpathia had 600 or
5oo OF the Titanlcs passengers aboard,
including all OF the first cabin. and that
the vessel should reach New York Fri
day morning.
M information had been received from
the VIrgipiap of Partisan nj the White
Star line offices, although II was said
