DESPAIR FOLLOWS HOPE
FOR LIVES OF N0TABLES

Relatives of Colonel Aston, of Benja-
min ~Guggenheim, of the Wideners, of
the Strauses, of the Hays and scores Of
other prominent men and women who
were clinging to the forlorn hope con-
tanned in private messages that all the
anne of the survivors had not been
sent by the Carpathia, returning again
to the steamship offices only to have
reaffirmed the cause of their first
despair.
An aged, gray-haired woman leaning
on the arm of a stalwart son walked
haltingly to the information desk to
seek WORD of the fate of another son,
William Richards, who had sailed on
the Titanic to join his mother and his
brothers at their new home In Mon
treal. BY a misprint the name of Rich
ards had appeared in a Montreal news
paper on the list of survivors, Mrs.
Richards came from Montreal to meet
her son. She was told there was no
Richards on the revised list. The aged
woman shrieked, staggered and fell to
the floor. A dozen other women. so af-
fected by the spectacle, burst out

CHATTER ABOUT RELATIVES
IN MANY STRANGE TONGUES

Yesterday to augment the crowd came
hundreds of relatives and friends OF
steerage passengers whose names had
not appeared on the lists obtained by
the cruiser Chester. Italians, SlaVs,
Greeks. Turks, Armenians. Russians
Pollacks. Germans, French-representa-
tives of every nation in Europe ana
Eastern Asia came for news of fami-
lies and friends who had left their
homes for the land Of promise. For
many of these there were no inter
prefers and they chartered and waited
and wept in vain.
Scores of women collapsed from grief
and exhaustion.
One woman, shries1ing that her hus-
band. her son. two brothers and -four
cousins were among the crew Of the
ill-fated ship. dropped to the floor I'M
conscious and was borne away 10 4

White Star Line offices became grave,
a forerunner of what was to happen
when the Carpathia reached her pier
tonight. A dozen hospitals responded
to the call for medical assistance and
changing ambulances were soon strug-
Cling with the crowd for places at the
curb.
A dozen relatives of Major Archibald
Butt visited the offices today begging
for information concerning the vague
reports that President Taftis military
aide had been saved. A. Mrs. j.. f.
Butt. of Washington. was the first of
the majors relatives to arrive and she
was barely able to grope her way back
to her taxicab after she was informed
that the death of the major was now
almost certain. A cousin, a Miss Butt,
of Plymouth, Mass, swooned when she
heard there was no v%erifcation Of the
rumor that the major had been saved.
A little later three elderly women rel
atives of the major came for encour-
aging tidings, but went away in deep
despair.

WIDOW OF THE TITANIC'S
CAPTAIN SENDS MESSAGE

LONDON. April 10. - The widow of
Captain E. J. Smith. commander of
the Titanic, has written a pathetic
message, which is posted today out
side the White Star offices. 1t reads
as follows: o.
ITO my poor fellow-sufferers: My
heart overflows with grief for you all,
and is laden with sorrow that you are
weighed down with this terrible burden
that has been thrust upon us. May
God be with US and comfort us all.

MESSAGE CONVEYS JEWS
BOTH PARENTS Persisted

Percy Straus. son of the millionaire
merchant and his wife, who are among
The dead. came again to the White
star Offices here today to renew a vigil
which he knew was futile. While
standing at the information desk he
heard his name Shouted by a mes
senger 10y and a moment later opened
a private dispatch from j. A. Bade-
neck. a buyer from a department store
aboard the Carpathia. The message
read;
Your father and mother are not on
the Carpathia.n
At 1880 D.. m. the report reached the
White Star office and was soon whlsp-
cred through the crowd that the Car
pathia had arrived at Sandy Hook n
was preparing to enter the harbor ana
steam to her pier. There was a rush
of the fashionable mourners for then
unousines and taxicabs and a score
of machines almost instantly were
vhirling up Broadway to meet the
carpathia. This squad had no more
than departed than a bulletin was
nosted in front of a newspaper office
in newspaper row. announcing that the
Carpathia had reached quarantine and
would Immediately proceed up the bay.
The effect OF this information was to
create a stampede.
Street cars standing on the loop at
the end Of The Broadway line were be-
sieged. The 1trarce of the nearby
subway static was choked with mad
dened humanity. In five minutes the
White Star offices had been cleared.

Put On All Speed Despite
Danger Warnings Sent Out

That the Titanic was speeded up in the face of danger and despite
warnings of icebergs is charged by IN of the survivors, who declares
that Bruce Ismay oil the morning IF the catastrophe had received wire

He was asked" says this passenger, "f it would not be safer to
slow down. HOn the contrary Ismay replied, I have Just ordered three

To show that the danger was discovered, but too late, H. Haven,
of indianapolis, declares that the collision was not head-on, but that an
4ttempt, apparently, had been made to turn away from the iceberg,
which struck the Titanic a CHANGING blow, stripping off the keel

CUBAN OUTPIELDER,
SIGNED BY GRIFR
Recruit Will Report to Club at
Charlottesville Groom, Gandil,
and Foster Sign Contracts.
GOLD CHARM FOR CLYDE MILAN

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York. Oct. s.-Manager Griffith to-
day signed up a Cuban outielder named
JacintO Calvo, who has been ordered to
report in Charlottesville. Va. next spring.
Calvo Is eighteen years of age. fast as a
streak and during the season In Cuba
Just closed batted better than 100 against
the strongest clubs In Cuba.
The new outfelder was recommended
by Senior Mundez, a Havana baseball
writer. here for the worlds series. who
Is a personal friend OF Grfith's. Calvo
is not dark like the native Cubans. but
fair. and is descended from one Of the
royal families Of the island. the nephew
of a Cuban marquise.
Il don't know what this young Cuban
can do," declared Griff, but he has been
touted to me as q wonder. and believe
he is worth a trial. II he can show me
that he IL better than Shanks. Moeller or
Milan. I shall play him regularly next
season."
Alva Williams, the Nationals heavy
hitting catcher, left tonight for his home
in Carthage. Ill Williams goes by way
OF Youngstown. Ohio, and will stop over
in the last-named city a couple of days
in consultation with the great and only
Bonesetter Reece. Williams has had
trouble with his right shoulder all sea-
son. and believes that there Is a muscle
out Of whack somewhere. which inter-
feres with his throwing. It Is believed
that Reece can do the catcher a lot of
good and render him even more valuable
to the Nationals next year than he was
this season.
Manager Griffith gathered his family
around him in the lobby Of the Somerset
Hotel here this morning and presented
Clyde Milan with handsome watch
chain pendant in the Hhape Of a diamond.
The charm is unique in design. a thin
piece Of gold surmounted by four dia-
monds, representing the bases, and a
ruby in the center. where the pitcher 8
box is supposed to be. Grinith himself
bought the gift for Milan and had II
handsomely inscribed as follows:
ITO the greatest base stealer in the
world from his manager" Milan was so
abashed at the gift that he could only
mutter a few inarticulate words of
thanks.
Bob Groom. the Nationals toothpick
twirier. who has just finished the most
successful season Of his career as an
American Lacquer. afixed his name to a
1878 Washington contract this morning.
In token Of Groom's fine showing Griff
gave Groom . nice raise in salary and
Sir Robert remarked to the Herald man:
"Gri6 In the manager under whom I
ever worked. lid not have to ask for
4 salary raise: got 1t without any over
lures. You can gamble that Griff will get
all I've got next season. just as have
tried to do my best this year."
In addition to Groom. Manager Griffith
has the names Of Chick Gandil and Eddie
Foster to Washington contracts for 1913,
both Of whom said they were more than
satisfied with the terms. It Is understood
that Gandil and Foster drew slight in
creases for their fine work this season.

lost tho first game and on comes my hat

Matty will do the pitching Tomorrow In

self. feel confident that will put a
notch in the win column.
Tesreau's experience to-day has taught
him . fine lesson, and all the boys are
banking on him to cop the next out. He
had everything in the world for six In
nings to-day and made the Boston lads
stand on their ears. But he out-pitched
himself-didn't gauge his strength.
Wood hurled swell game. but relied
almost entirely on his fast ball. He was
busting 'em over in the groove all the
time, but the luck broke with him. for
our batte-s were unfortunate in SIAM
ming the pill in somebody's hands.

After watching the Boston team very

We will have to look out for more than
any other one. He is q great ball play

up ,well-mapped plays. 1t was he that
started the batting rally In the fatal
seventh inning that cost US the game.
and the manner in which he blocked

most important plays Of the day.

was al clean triple. Snodgrass ran with
the speed Of q deer and managed to get
the fingers Of his right hand on the ball.
Put no man in the world could have
speared that clout.
Boston has won the first game. But

Meantime Herzog and Becker were max

McGraw in the ninth inning produced

eyes Of the Giant chief had studied
every move made by the star Of the
