Not a Hopeless Case.

Arizona republican., 1912-04-16

NEW YORK, April 15.-The White Star officers endcavOrcd vdiniy from 8 until II to get further word from the Olympic about the Titanic. Vice president Franklin, said all were hopeful of getting another message tonight. The company also is trying to get wireless communication with the Carpathia. It has filed a message asking that a possible complete list of the survivors be sent by wireless. Such a list, Franklin believed. Wouh be of the utmost importance, as hope was waning among officials tonight that any others have survived. Amid the confusion at the offices the sit nation was studied as calmly as pos sibIe. Notwithstanding a fervent hope to the contrary Franklin figured the Allan line steamer Virginian and the Parisian barely could have been at the scene at the time of the disaster in time to have been of assistance. IL is doubtful if either reached the scene before ten this morning.
 Franklin said from his knowledge of Captain Smiths gallantry and he roism on other occasions, the veteran navigator must have stuck to the bridge anu gone down with the ship There was discussion as to whether all the male passengers had sacrificed | the opportunity to save themselves by giving the women and children the | first chance at the boats.
 There's no rule at sea- said
 Franklin. which requires such sac l r-,,,r as at sea that gallant men have ofter observed in time of disaster
 White Star officers figured from | their data the Olympic was forty
 miles from the scene of the Titanic:
 sinking when she sent the news a
 tonight. At that hour the Car pathia was estimated to be 10S0 mile: east of Sandy Hook
