100 STRENUOUS A DAY

Apparently the Arizona Auto Stage experienced too heavy a pat Monday Each time the car came through Tempe enroute either to Phoenix or Mesa it was filled to the sideboards and very seldom was it possible for a Tempeite to catch on But yesterday different cars were keeping up the schedule. From all appearances the steamer kept up with the crowd until it was completely all in and on account of this was forced to take a rest yesterday.

Witness Put on the Stand in
Washington To-day.

Washington. d. G., April %. The Sen
ate Investigation of the Titanic disaster
was resumed here to-day in the caucus
room. which was crowded to the doors.
Many of the crowd, who were turned
away from the door, went to other rooms
and climbed out on the balconies. As
the hearing opened, Senator Smith said:
"This inquiry we are making in obedi-
ence to the directions of the Senate and
for the purpose of ascertaining impor-
tant facts connected with the unfortu-
nate loss of the Titanic"

ment for taking better advantage OF
the wireless. The necessity of two wire
less operators being aboard every vessel
is emphasized by the fact that the liner
Partisan missed the Titanic's call for
help, only through the operator being
off duty at the time, and an agitation
has commenced here in favor OF the
Board of Trade formulating regulations
to govern the wireless arrangements
aboard ships.
The Austrian government also has tax
en- steps to assist in the installation OF
a wireless system on all ocean passen-
ger steamers, the government bearing
part of the expense on condition that
it will receive percentage of any sal
wage moneys obtained through wireless
calls.
1t is understood that the plans of the
White Star Gigantic, which is now be-
ing built at Belfast and which was TO

plans will provide for a double cellular

IN MEMORY OF DEAD.
Services Were Held Throughout New
York Yesterday.

New York, April 22.-Chimes Of old
Trinity, of st. Patrick's and OF the
Cathedral of st. John the Divine, tolled
in unison yesterday, a requiem for the
Titanic,s heroic dead. Bowed by a
common grief, men and women of every
religion and creed assembled in the places
OF worship, where memorial services
were conducted. to join in paying tribute
to men who died fearlessly that the
women and children on board the sink
ing ship might live.
'tNearer My God to Thee" the strains
of which were heard by the survivors as
( the Titanic took her final plunge, was
sung in all the churches of the city.
There were prayers from the pulpits for
che survivors and the relatives and
friends of the dead, while in Catholic
churches requiem masses were sung for
the repose of the souls of those who
went down with the Titanic
In many of the churches special col
lections were taken for the relief OF
the destitute survivors.
At largely attended "public memorial
meeting" at Broadway theatre, presided
over by Frederick Townsend Martin and
addressed by William J. Bryan, Rabbi
Silyerman and the Rev. Dr. Wylie, a
resolution was adopted urging the enact
ment OF laws requiring the installation
of adequate and efficient life saving
appliances on all ships leaving American
ports and regulation of wireless service
aboard ships. The resolution, introduced
by Lewis Nixon, after dealing with the
matter of legislation read in part:
"Where has there been such touch
ing example of martial elevation as Mr..
and Mrs. Straus. with hands clasped
calmly awaiting death as preferable to
separation.
'-Could the pen OF Dumas paint more
of chivalry and devotion to ideal hero
ism than Colonel Astor and Major Butt
cheering and aiding women and children
to fill the boats, that could have taken
them to safety and to life which was
TO them of the brightest future.
"In all the annals of glorious self
sacrifice can we find anything to ap-
peal to the deep and holier passions
than does the story of the humble stew
ard. who offering life preserver to
woman is asked why he does not put
one on himself answers: Why. madame.
there may not be enough to go around. f"

Per Cent--Conference Held in
Face of Threatened Strike.

New York, April 22.-The conference
committee of the general managers as
sociation of fifty eastern railroads met
to-day to take up for the third time the
demands for increased wages to locomo-
tive engineers on their roads To-day's
meeting was held in the face of threat
ened strike. An answer to the engineers
ultimatum, demanding increases in
wages aggregating between fifteen and
eighteen per cent, is expected during
the day by the leaders Of the engineers
Warren S. Stone, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
who said that strike would take effect
within a few hours if the railroads made
their refusal final. said he had nothing
new to announce.
I'VE do not want TO strike said Mr..
Stone, "but unless the reply we expect
from the railroads is satisfactory, the
men will quit.

Is Alleged Order the Titanic
Firemen Were Talking About
JUST PRIOR TO ACCIDENT
4 John Thompson, One Of the Surviving
Firemen, Is Reported to Have Said
They Were Making as Quick
Passage as Possible.

New York, April 22.--John Thomp-
son, fireman on the steamer TITANIC,
may be an important witness at the
senatorial investigation into the wreck,
al Washington, for Thompson asserts
that the Titanic was out Ito beat all
records on maiden trips"
"From Queenstown out" Thompson
is quoted as saying, 'all the firemen
had been talking about the orders we
had to fire her up as hard as we pos
sibly could We were to make as quick
a passage as possible, the orders ran"
Another OF the new phases which the
committee may prove, developed in the
story of Thomas Whitley, a first class
steward. who is in st. Vincent hospital
with his feet frozen as the result of
exposure while escaping from the wreck.
According to his allegations, two men
who were in the crows nest at the time
of the collision and who survive, but
who have left for Europe on the steam
er Lapland, have said they reported to
First Officer Murdock that they sight
ell tHe tceDeIR at - 80 Ps NJ HHu -
ported it three times during the 10 or
20 minutes which elapsed before the yes
sci struck. Whiteley said the lookouts
expressed surprise that no reduction Of
speed had seemed to follow their warn
inc and according to Whitley they after
ward said: NO wonder Murdock shot
himself"
The general reports that practically
all the women on board the Titanic We're
saved are considerably qualified by the
study of the original passenger list OF
fhe Titanic with the list of survivors.
in spite of the gallantry Of hundreds
OF men who gave way to women first,
there were 1876 women drowned, among
them 10 who were first cabin travellers.
None of the two hundred odd surviv-
ors who were taken to hospitals here
are in serious condition. Many OF
them were taken to the hospitals mainly
for shelter and tender care and at st.
Yihcent's il was announced yesterday
afternoon that Of the l06 survivors who
had been given beds there, all but 81
had been dismissed and many had gone
to their homes or found refuge with
relatives.

did not belong to any other first-cabn
passenger, he declares, did not sit at the
captains table and was not dining with
him at the time OF the accident, and, in
fact, was in bed when the collision oe-

Europe quickly to avoid appearing at the
senatorial investigation, he adds, and
only knew that the investigation was
pending when informed of it on the pier
on the Carpathia's arrival.

might have been very serious accident

friends at East Barre, were returning
home and had reached this point opposite
the mill when they saw an approaching
team. In turning out on the side of the
road to allowing the approaching team
to pass. their team ran head-on into the
lumber team. The sudden impact of
the crash hurled Ronaldo a distance of
about twenty-five feet off into the side
of the road. Arioli was thrown against
the dashboard. and he managed to keep
rein on the horse and prevent the animal
from running away. The wagon was
demolished beyond repair.
Arioh escaped without injuries, but
Ronald was badly bruised and received
cuts about the face. The victims betook
themselves to a nearby farmhouse and
telephoned to a livery stable in this city
and had a team sent to carry them the
