 Republican Women Organized.
 That the Republicans are following the example of the Democrats and the Progressives in making a strong bid for women's votes and women's influ- ence in the present campaign is indi- cated by the activities of the Nation al Woman's Republican association and the affiliated New York State Wo- mans Republican association. A few weeks ago Miss Helen Varick Boswell, president of the former, and Mrs. John Francis Yawger, president of the lat ter. both of whom had been attending the convention of the General Fedora tion of Womens Clubs in San Francis co. met in Seattle and mapped out plan of campaign for the country.
 Miss Boswell is woman of organiz- ing ability. She has long been engaged in womens club work and a few years ago went to the isthmus of Panama, at the request of the canal commits sion, and organized in the canal zone a federation of women's clubs. She was for a time connected with the well fare department of the National Civic federation and has spoken for Repub- lican candidates in previous campaigns.

CAPTAIN HAD fine RECORD
Titanic's Commander Thirty-eight
Years in Service.

New York, April 1.-THE honor be-
slowed on Captain Edward John
Smith, when he was selected to COM
mand the Titanic and taken of the
Olympic for that purpose, was consid-
cred remarkable among steamship
commanders, for 1t is deep sea ira
dition that captains career is ended
when his vessel meets with serious
lnishap
The Olympic has twice met with
misfortune with Captain Smith as her
commander, but the White Star COM
pany knew that they were justified in
placing every reliance on the man who
has ruled over the finest steamships
in the world.
Captain Smith has been in the serv-
ice of the White Star company for
thirty-eight years. He has commanded
the Republic---the old Republic, not
the one that the Florida sank off Nan
tucket lishtship-the Britannia, the
Germanic and the Majestic.
He brought over the Baltic when
she was the biggest vessel on the seas;
then the Adriatic and last the Olym-
pic. In the White Star service he is
known as The Old Man"

Many Passengers Had Retired.


The collision occurred at a time
when most of the passengers had re-
tired or were about to 60 to bed. The
shock of the collision sent many of
the passengers to the decks partly
dressed.
A wireless dispatch came through
Camperdown, N. g., saying that the
passengers were ordered to the life
boats at once and that many were
ecantily clad as they took their places
in the boats. This would indicate that
the Titanic's condition was such that
no time could be spared to return to
staterooms for additional clothes.
The ice was SO heavy that the life
boats could not force their way
through it and as, a result the boats
became widely separated. The air was
lifting cold and the chill that rose
from the ice foes caused the passen-
gers to hover close together to keep
warm. All through the night the life.
boats bobbed helplessly between the
shifting cakes of ice while the sur
vivors prayed for dawn to come.
Shortly after 2 O'Clock the sinking
Titanic made her great dive into the
sea, carrying with her hundreds Of
persons to death.
Daylight came and with it arrived
the Cunarder Carpathia. which found
cnly the score of lifeboats filled with
crew and passengers floating helpless
ly about the vicinity where the Titanic
had passed under the waves.

New York, April 1.-THE tidings
that the Titanic had sunk came in

had foundered at about 2:20 a. m.
Monday morning in latitude 41:16

The message added that the steam
ship Carpathia, then on her way to
Naples, had reached the scene Of the
wreck at daybreak and found only
boats and wreckage and that all the
Titanic's boats were accounted for and
about 675 souls saved, crew and pas
sengers, latter nearly all women and

THE SCENE TOO LATE.
Two messages received by the Mar
conf wireless telegraph company from
the company's stations at Cape Race
and Sable Island made it certain that
their are none of the Titanic's passen-
gers on either the steamship Partisan
or Virginian.
One message reads
"The Marconi station at Sable Island
has been in communication with the
Partisan and the ship has no passen-
gers from the Titanic"
The other message reads: :.
''The Marconi station at Cape Race
reports they have had communication
with the Virginian, which reported
none of the Titanic's passengers are
on that vessel, which arrived too late
to be of service"
All through the night the Offices OF
the White Star line and of the news
papers were besieged by scores of
persons anxious to learn the fate Of
relatives or friends on board the Ii
tanic, while a flood of kilograms, cable
grams and telephone messages were
received, bringing eager inquiries from
different parts of the country.
Of1cials of the White Star line had
little news to impart. Wireless opera
tors worked throughout the night try
ing to send and pick up calls from the
scene of the disaster. The wireless
was handicapped in the early morning
by q thunder storm, which finally
silenced transmission for time.

This news was confirmed shortly
afterward by officials of the White Star
line here, who announced that the
Olympic had sent them wireless dis:
patches that the Titanic had sunk. i,
A wireless dispatch received later
at Boston, which was relayed by the
Olympic from the Carpathia, stated
that the Carpathia had ss6 of the IT,

women and children, concluding with
the words:

Out Of the 1900 souls on board this

The wireless dispatch from Cape

the information that the steamship
California was remaining and search

TITANIC LACKING IN
L|FESAv|NG DEVICES
Boats and Rats Could Accom-
modate Only 1,170.

New York, April l 17.-Statistical in
formation of the lifesaving apparatus
Of the Olympic, sister ship Of the IT,
tanic, was given out by the bureau Of
Inspection Of steam vessels. Figures
for the titanic are not available, but
as the two ships are almost identical
in size 1t is not likely their lifesaving
equipment materially differs.
The Olympic has sixteen lifeboats
and four RATS, calculated to accommo-
date LILO. This means about one-third
of the total number Of passengers and
crew together, which IL 3,447, can be
accommodated. It was stated at the
bureau that no chip 10 required to have
sufficient boat room to accommodate
al its complete passenger and crew
list.
The Olympic carries 3,466 life pre-
servers and forty-eight life buoys. and
these equipments are made in compli-
aace with the regulations Of the Brit
ish beard Of trade. The United States
bureau has NO power except to see that
each steamship meets the require.
ments Of its home government.

The sea was running high, but not
