HOME TRADE NOTES.

Would you hinder the further
concentration of wealth in great
cities and all the resultant evils
you will find that the simple
principle of patronizing home in
stitutions instead of foreign ones
will work wonders.
Just so long as the merchants
of the country insist on carrying
on business in the manner that
their fathers did twenty years
ago just so long will the cata-
loque houses continue to in
crease their patronage.

DETAILS ARE KEPT
FROM PASSENGERS
ON SHIP OLYMPIC
Those on Sister Ship Only
Hear Real Horror When
They Get London Papers.
BY ROY w. HOWARD,
General News Manager of the United
Press Associations.

ON BOARD STEAMER OLYMPIC,
Plymouth, England, April 2O.-It was
not until the English papers were
brought on board here today that the
terrible horror Of the Titanic disaster
was realized by the vessels company
No details of the death list had been
furnished here and only the most
meager details of the great tragedy had
boen published on board of the ill-fated
Titanic's sister ship.
AS far as possible Captain Haddock
and the officers of the Olympic mini
mized en- route the tragedy because they
feared for the effect on the ships COM
pany. But when the British papers
were brought on board here and the
great black-faced lists of the dead were
read, the magnitude of the tragedy came
homo to all of US.
Some of the women passengers on the
Olympic were on the verge of fainting
when they read the names OF friends
and acquaintances who had gone to the
bottom with the lost leviathan.
Money was freely offered for the re-
lief funds Mortimer L. Schinf. the
New York banker. headed the list with
subscription of $500. and within very
few minutes, 1880 had been. raised
Frances Belmont. the New York Floro-
dora beauty, gave 800, and Madame
Imone gave a similar amount.
The first news Of the tragedy came to
, us in theR form Of rumors while we were
at breakfast on Monday. There was
not confirmation or verifcation until
| noon when a bulletin was posted in the
smoking room and in the women's
lounge. This announced that the tt.
tanic had collided with an iceberg. but
that all of the passengers were safe.
tried to communicate this to land by
| wireless but the purser said this would
| be impossible because the wireless wa
being utilized to its fullest capacity tc
get the news of the tragedy and tc
communicate with the Titanic" which
we passengers later learned, was ever
| then at the bottom Of the sea.
Later the purser offered to accept 9
bulletin to send to the United Press
| He carefully edited the first message
| but later returned It. saying he could
| not send It. Finally, however, he die
send through one message.
Immediately after dinner on Monday
| night Captain Haddock caused to bt
| posted bulletins announcing that the tt
tanic had been totally destroyed anc
| that all of her company had gone to the
bottom with the exception Of 675. who
| were then on the Carpathia.
Efforts to send word to land by the
| wireless from then on proved futile
1t was stated that the wireless was II
| constant use for line business.
| There was rumor among the stew
| ards that the officers OF the Olympic
knew that the Titanic had sunk severa
