Nagel Indorses Conference

Washington, April 1s.-Secretary Nagel expressed unqualified approval of the suggestion of an international congress- of maritime nations to discuss the mo- mentous question of safeguarding ocean travel. The secretary added his voice to the chorus of other governmental digni- taries He said Congress should enact laws compelling steamers as far as prac- ticable to carry lifeboats sufficient in number for every human being aboard in time of emergency.
 The llfeboat has been made Of real practical value by the advent of wireless telegraphy," said the secretary. This fact has been demonstrated by the terri- ble calamity of the Titanic. The wire less telegraph sounding appeals for help in time of distress has made the life boat on the ocean of as much'value in the saw ing of human life as it has been when Columbus arrived in his wooden slonp. It is safe for a limited time to do without, but safer to have them.
 The American laws are much more stringent than those of other nations"
 He pointed out that had the Titanic held af American certificate she would have been obliged to have had life saving rafts for about a3o0

teenth street on the north and at Thir- teenth on the south. Another line was drawn son the east at Eleventh avenue. Thus the entire block immediately Tn front of the piers was held sacred to those who are immediately in the tragedy. Shortly before 8 o'clock news came that the Carpathia was passing the Statue of Liberty. At that hour more than 50 automobiles were park ing in front of the piers.
 15O Officials Ready
 One hundred and fifty customs of ficials were on the pier under the direction of Gen. Nelson r. Henry, sur veyor of the port. They came to facil- itate the landing of the survivors.
 Friends and relatives who gathered inside the pier sheds took up their positions under the customs alphabeti- cal arrangement, each one under the in- itial of the name of the survivor. At S:30 o'clock a stream of people was filing into the pier entrance and auto mobiles continued to take their places in the street.
 A committee from the New York stock exchange came to the pier short ly before the Carpathia arrived, bring ing s20,000 in cash to be distributed among those most in need of assist ance.
 HIS money WAS IdlStu oll lIit cA- change by popular subscription and brought to the pier in an oblong box.
 Several Red Cross nurses and a dozen physicians arrived upon the pier and two ambulances stood outside.
 The Pennsylvania Railroad company had a special train waiting at their sta ton at Thirty-fourth street and num- Der of taxcabs to convey survivors deslr- ing to go to Philadelphia to their friends
 J. P. Morgan, Jr., There
 J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., put in an ap- pearance as the boat was about to dock Representatives of the Widener and Thayer family of Philadelphia also were early arrivals, having chartered a special train. There were 1000 persons in the sheds at S:45 o'clock, many of whom were weeping Outside the automobiles kept coming.
 The pilot of a tug boat engaged to as- sist in warping her in annotulced that she could not dock until the lifeboats were taken off. A large number of Sisters of Charity from the various hospitals arrived in a number of ambulances. comms- sioner of immigra ton was present to ex- pedite landing of steerage passengers.
 At 10 minutes past nine there was an agonized waiing while the boat was being slowly warped into her berth.
 Scene of Animation ssk The scene at this time in and about the great pier was one of great animation and eager expectancy. The crowds steadily had been augmented but there was per feet order. and an awelike air of waiting. The crowd in automobiles continued to ar rive in numbers and crowd about the entrance to the pier maintained a re- speetful silence. Within the vast en- closure the company of people was not vthstanding the precautions and the limit which had been placed upon the number of passes issued, dense but serl- ous and orderly.
 As the Carpathia was passing into her slip she was surrounded by newspaper boats and there were frequent flashes from cameras which were taking pictures of the rescue ship punctuating the silence like bombs
 The great ship came up slowly and had a hard time docking. Her decks were black with passengers

into over a thousand compartments, ae- ceesible to an underground electric freight service-but here the door opens.
 The crush that followed reminded me strongly of one that I participated in on Oxford street. London some months earlier. Then it had been a special sale of ostrich plumes-I felt curious as to what l now should see.
 'The large room was set with long tables, each covered with innumerable paper napkins placed side by side Each napkin had a few article sof prepared food on it. Apparently it was huge deli catessen shop. Then I looked more close ly and saw that the portions of food were strangely mutilated-a mutton chop would nos be complete; one corner had been neatly trimmed off
 .sNor was 1t alone on it's servyiette-with it was a spoonful of peas, part of a baked potato, a little dab of jelly and half a roll. Next to it was a portion consist ing of chicken wing with one tip gone, few escalloped potatoes, half a stalk of celery and mere suggestion of mar malade. Each portion had a price tag thai of the crop, 70 centimes IS centsl the chicken wing. R ventimss Further an was a small part of very small bird that carried with it the suggestion of a cold bottle
 You see before you said my guide, the remains of Belshazzar's fsast-he Is called King of Bulgaria now but it is the same That chop may have been toyed with by some fair queen; the missing tip of the chicken wing possibly took the Kings mind from matters of state Tor a moment or two, Of one thing be sure. that nothing from President Fallieres' plate is here. for that gentleman was brought up to pick the bones cleann
 Surely they didn't leave all thiss
 !" Oh mo- Besides the remains of the Palais Elysee banquet are the contribu- tons from the large hotels and the lash ioiable restaurants. All Paris contributes to this--all Paris except the Latin quar- ter. which is here to buy. Your landlady is here, so don't turn up your nose al this. for something from here will reach yoii in tonight's dinner.
 ssIn less than half an hour not a ser viette with it's offering was left. Eau bourg St. Antoine and Rue St. Jacques had taken neverytllng, So Paris takes q waste and makes of it a by-product, and does it so cleverly that the sugges- ton of offense is eliminated

Thayer May Be Safe

New York, April 1S-The following state ment regarding the rumor that John B. Thayer. second vice president of the Penn sylvania railroad, is not among the sur viVors of the Titanic on board the Car pathia, was given out today by the Penn- sylvania railroad officials:
 "The Pennsylvania railroad officials most emphatically deny that a personal message of any kind has been received from J. B. Thayer, or any of his family, who are on board the Carpathia bound for New York. The only information regard ing MT. Thayer and his family received by this company has come from the of fees of the White Star line which is to the effect that J. B. Thayer, Mrs. Thayer and J. B. Thayer Jr., are among the pas sengers on board the Carpathia arriving .

 Jack Margaret and 1 safe; no news of MT. Thayer.'
 Margaret is Mrs. Thayer's maid and Jack is the son. It is possible that the message was filed before all the boats of the Titanic had been picked up. Mir. Thayers name is in the list of surviv-

 The promptest emergency work was that of a special committee from the New York stock exchange, which brought to the pier tonight a box containing s20,- GOO in cash for immediate distribution. This money was raised yesterday and today when it became established that many of the Titanic survivors would be without means of getting to their. inland homes. Scores of the immigrants come to this country with just enough money to meet with the immigration require ments.

MEX|CO'S ANSWER
 MAKES NO CHANGE
Causes No Surprise in Official Circles at
 Washington

Washington, April 1s.-It cannot be said that the answer of Mexican Foreign Min ister Catero to the admontion from the state department has modified the diplo- matic situation obtaining between the two republics today. The answer caused no surprise here.
 In the opinion of administration of ficials the Mexican note has not advanced any fresh reasons for intervention at this date unless the disclaimer for re- sponsibility for the actions of the rebels may be regarded as warranting foreign governments in considering whether they themselves might not be privileged to take forcibe measures to protect their subjects and citizens where they may be endangered in territory completely within control of the rebel forces.
 Reports of the interview between Amer ioan Consul Letcher and Orozco at Chi- huahua, however, would seem to relieve any apprehension of intervention on that score in view of the rebel leaders de- eared purpose to be bound by the prin- cples of international law in any fur ther operations.
