WOMEN DO HOMAGE
TO TITANIC'S MEN

BY a national contribution. to which
only the women OF America may con-
tribute. Miss Mary S. Hamilton. dlree-
tor OF the Hamilton Institute, OF this
city. will erect a monument to the hun
dreds of men who surrendered their
lives that the women and children on
board the Titanic might be saved. Miss
Hamilton began plans for the national
subscription last night. The site Of the
monument and the plans for its erection
will be prepared by a committee Of
women who will soon be selected.
The idea to be carried out in the
memorial is the heroism that enabled
men in such a crisis TO remain on the
awful, plunging hulk after they had seen
the women safely taken on in the life
boats. Inscribed on the granite sides OF
the somber memorial win be the names
OF those who are known to have pre-
vented a panic and absolute destruction.
The names Of all those heroes" said
Miss Hamilton last night, will never
be known. When that ship went down
she carried with her a band OF heroes

during the night with New York by
means of long distance telephone. The
message concerning the sighting Of the
Carpathia was sent to the President by
the Navy Department via the Washing

onicials Of the Navy Department kept
in constant touch with the little brick
wireless station on the bank OF the Ana
costa River within the limits of the
navy yard. The wireless station was
pervaded by an absolute silence. The
operator, Garbed In the uniform of sail
or, bent over the receiving table with
the high resistance telephone receivers
strapped to his head and with his pencil
tracing rapidly over the log sheet as the
faint signals came through the ether
and became discernible.
Outside there was drizzling rain, and
because of the atmospheric conditions
the static was exceedingly bad. The
upper coast stations could hardly be
heard Only the stations equipped with
high frequency wireless sets could be
heard At the side Of the operator stood
another sailor who telephoned such mes
sages as were received directly to the
Navy Department. The silence was brok-
en- only by the occasional crash OF the
spark from the transformer as brief
messages were transmitted through the
ether TO stations along the coast. Only
few messages were sent, as the Navy
Department had advised the operators
10 transmit only in cases Of absolute
necessity. This order was issued so as
to prevent interference.

ascertain IL the message is true.
