at noon that definite information as
to the Titanic disaster was still un-

Il have received absolutely no

the Carpathia is so overcome with
grief that they cannot tell connect
ed stories of the disaster. l have

light on the tragedy. l have no rea-

Generosity Has Effect.
The generosity of President Tait's
offer produced a tremendous effect on
Colonel Roosevelt, 1t aroused all
the chiyalrio impulses OF his ma
ture. His reply was quick and to
the point, namely, that under no
circumstances would he stand in the
way of the Presidents boom.
He let it be known il the people
OF the country wanted Tart Tor an

movement go on TO the finish. If
he should be nominated, we'll aad

then it would be right 10 accept.
With this understanding amica-
bly, agreed 10 on both sides, Mr.,
Tart then announced that he WAS Il
candidate and only death would pre-
vent his keeping in the ace. Colo
mel Roosevelt also continued to om-
phasize that he was not a candidate,
rhus leaving a free field for Presi-
dent Taft and his campaign.
This is why he is so insistent that
his name shall not be used by his
friends With his consent. In Other
words, Colonel ~Roesevelt's plan IS
to do nothing CT TO say nothing tEat
