Joy for Some White Star Line
Callers, But Many Are Toll
Those They Seek Are Missing
and Are Perhaps Among the
Dead.

tears diJernateu WIN nNsterlcal Joy at
the White Star Line offices, at No. 0
Broadway, all day yesterday as rela-
tives and friends came and went in
quiring about relatives or friends. Well
dressed wonen rolled down in their au-
tomobiles accompanied by men servants;
smart. clear-eyed business men from the
financial section kept coming and going;
weary-faced, heavy-eyed women arrived
bv street cars and elevated-but before
the bulletin board where the names of
the survivors were posted all social diff
ferences were levelled and forgotten and
the wives and children of millionaires
elbowed heedlessly with the plainly
dressed relatives of salaried employees to
learn the latest details of the disaster
as revealed by the wireless.
Early in the day the picturesque little
Bowling Green Park opposite the White
Star Offices and the sidewalks as far up
the street as the Standard Oil offices
and the old Stevens House were crowded
with humanity.
One of the earliest arrivals was Daniel
Guggenheim, brother of Benjamin Gug-
genhem, who was a passenger on the
Titanic. Benjamin was the fifth of the
family of seven sons of Meyer Guggen-
helm, bankers and smelters. A moment
after he had run up the steps his wife
arrived in an automobile accompanied
by Mrs Benjamin Guggenheim and her
brother and sister-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs.
Dewitt J. Seligman. They all hurried in
and up to the deck, where Daniel Gug-
genheim was asking whether his broth
ers name was among the list of res
cued. When the clerk sadly replied in
the negative the wife of the missing
man exclaimed: "But what Of the life
boats? He may be drifting about in the
lifeboats You must do something quick.
The Virginian should be there Arc you
sure? What about the 0lympicl Oh,
can't you learn somethingp Her broth
er-in-law laid a sympathetic hand on
her arm and then patted it gently, as
she burst into tears.
Everything is being done that can
be DONE" said the clerk "When the day
is little older we may know more.
The reports are still fragmentaryn
Sympathizes With Another Mourner.
Mrs. Guggenheim demanded to see
Vice President Franklin at once, but
was told that Mr.. Franklin knew no
more than the clerk. After little she
grew calmer, and even said a sympa-
thetic word to the wife Of second-class
passenger, who was walking the floor
wringing her hands in agony. After
making sure that there was nothing
more to be learned, the Guggenheims
sat quietly down in corner and watch
i ed the throng of anxious inquirers that
began pouring into the Offices. At last
becoming convinced that there was moth
ing more to learn, they went away, but
at different times during the day re-
turned to make inquiries.
At 1890, the rimor that 400 more
survivors had been picked up among the
wreckage, spread through the street, and
it took all the energy of the police re-
serves to prevent the crowd storming
the offices en- masse.
Magistrate Robert c. Cornell hurried
down to the offices before IL o'clock to
ask if there was news of his wife and
her two sisters, Mrs. J. Murray Brown
lof Boston, and Mrs. +. d. Appleton OF
Bay Side, /. l. Magistrate Cornell, his
face showing that he had spent sleep
less night, was making his way to the
Icounter when there burst through the
door a woman in a blue dress and hat
her eyes red with weeping She was out
Of breath and half fainting as she reach
ed the Magistrates side. She tried to
address the clerk, who was answering
several people at the same time, but
could not make herself heard. Mr. Cor
nell, putting aside his own anxiety, in
quired who she was looking for, and
then asked the clerk for information OF
the woman's friends. The woman stag
gered to a seat and sat down as the
Magistrate told her simply and kindly
there was no good news for her. Then
he asked about his own.
1--WE have the names of Mrs. Brown
and Mrs. Appleton among the list OF
survivors, but not that of Mrs. Cor.
nell" was the answer. The Magistrate
walked away dazed.
There was burst of sunlight in the
heavy gloom when Brooklyn friends
came in for information of Mr.. and Mrs
George Harder, bridal couple, who, re.
turning from their honeymoon, on the
Titanic, had paid $3.50 bonus to secure a
stateroom. Their names were found
and young girl who was in the inquir.
ing party and had been on the edge OF
tears burst ont in hysterical, ripping
laugh of relief which she instantly
checked when she saw the fearful faces

Victor Harder OF Brooklyn, and last
January married Miss Dorothy Amman

Down in the basement of the build

nearly all day. were the relatives oi
