DOUBT AS TO
1hAYFRS SAFETY
No Assurance That Vice
President Pennsylvania
Road Survives
Heavy Fog Along the Bay
viii Delay the Arrival
Of the Carpdthid
BY Associated Press.

by ASSOCldteU ITcSS.
PHILADELPHIA, April 1S.-A
grave doubt exists here regarding the
safety of John B. Thayer, second vice
president of the Pennsylvania rail-
way, who with his wife and 14year-old
son were on board the Titanic. A wire
less message was received here today
signed by Mrs Thayer, reading:
Jack, Margaret and are safe, but
have no news of Mr.. Thayer."
Margaret is Mrs. Thayer's maid, and
Jack is her son. The message came
from the Carpathia, via Halifax, and
is said to have been one of the 300
received here. 1t is possible the mes
sage was filed before all of the III
tanic's boats had been picked up. Mr..
Thayer's name is not in the list OF
survivors.
The Pennsylvania officials today is
sued a statement denying emphatic
ally that a personal message of any
kind had been received from J. B.
Thayer or any of his family, who are
on the Carpathia bound for New
York They say the only message
regarding the Thayers came from the
officers of the White Star line to the
effect that Thayer and his wife and
son are on board the Carpathia.
President Franklin of the White
Star line said the Cedric would sail
as scheduled today, and that no ar
rangements had been made to trans
fer J. Bruce Ismay, managing director
of the White Star line, from the Car
pathia to the Cedric at sea, so far as
he knew. The fog is very thick down
the bay and if it continues it will de-
lay the arrival of the Carpathia.

LARGE FORCES OF WORkMEN
BUSY IN EXCAVATION WORK
ON VARIOUS ENTERPRISES IN
THE CAPITAL CITY-MACHlN-
cry FOR USE ON THE FEDERAL
BUuING ARRIVES WEDNESDAY.

Bismarck presents scene of &C.
tivity and building enterprise these
days that attracts and holds the at
tention of all the travellers. Large
forces of workmen are engaged in
the work of excavation on the vari.
Gus projects in the downtown portion
of the city. Among the construction
work that is being pushed along is
that on the federal building, Hughes
building on Main street, Grand Pa
cific annex, the Hughes building on
Fourth street.
The federal building excavation
work is progressing rapidly. Wednes-
day a carload of machinery, compris-
ng two hoist engines, concrete
mixer and elevator, and other ma
chinery, arrived in Bismarck, and an
other carload is coming soon. Brick
and stone and other building mate
rails will commence arriving in short
time.
The steel Orders for the Hughes
building on Fourth street are being
placed in position and this structure
will be finished within very few
months.
'Workmen on the Grand Pacific an
mex are busily engaged in excavating
for a foundation north of the annex
site. to which the building wherein
the present dining room is located
will be moved. Work of excavating
for the annex will then be commenced.
The Hughes building on Main street
east of the Dakota block is under
way, excavating having started al
ready. The debris left by the fire of
three weeks ago has been almost all
cleared away, and the new building
will be ready for occupancy some time
during the summer.
Other building projects are soon to
be started, and within 80 days the
capital city will have the semblance
of an entirely new city with the great
amount of construction work that will
be under way within that time.

MILWAUKEE, April 18.-Mary
Swain Wagner, president Of the Amer

upon the long hat pin. She said today
that she will have bill introduced
in the legislature dealing with hat
pins.
