SAYS CATASTROPHE
WAS KNOWN MONDAY

BY the United Press.
NEW YORK, April 17--That the
fate Of the Titanic was known in New
York on Monday morning, was the
statement made unofhcialiy about the
offices Of the Cunard Line today. II
was said that on Monday morning a
prominent New Yorker appeared at
the Cunard offices and declared that a
person in authority" had received a
message telling of the sinking of the
great liner. He was urged to make
the news public, but declared that 1t
must be suppressed" according 10
his story.
Il WAS gathered that the man who
asserted that the rews had been re-
oeiYed was not an officer of the White
Star Line. but a very prominent Wall
street man.
Investigation at Montreal today in
dicated that the sinking Of the tt
tanic was known to the officials of the
White Star Line long before il was
made public and at the very time that
reassuring reports. asserting that all
on board had been saved, we're being
given out.
Many of the messages sent out on
/ Monday declaring that the passengers
and crew of the Titanic were safe. it
was ascertained. originated in the
New York Offices of the White Star
Line. II is known that the news OF
the disaster was sent to Montreal
Monday afternoon. was confirmed by
telephone message from New York
and was kept quiet for hours. Mean
time the White Star reassuring bulle-
tine continued.
The despatch received in Montreal
saying the Virginian was towing the
Titanic 10 port. came from the wire
less operator at Cape Race. who was
in a position to furnish the most au-
thentic news of the disaster. His
message was addressed to the press
of Canada and the United States. and
was accepted in Montreal and trans
mitted elsewhere as authentic. No ex-
planation has been received from the
operator. but 1t is believed tha. he
received a wireless from the sea
which. in his judgment. warranted his
mtssage
Both the public and marine circles
in Montreal were bitter today at the
apparent suppression on Monday OF
the all-important news of the great
loss Of life. by the White Star officials
