President Taft yesterday made earnest
efforts 70 obtain news Of Maj. Archibald
Butt. his military aid. He communicated
two or three times with the White Star
Offices in New York. sbut each time was
told that they were sorry TO say they
could give him no definite information
in regard TO Maj. Butt
The messages received by the Presi-
dent were forwarded by him to Maj.
Butts sister. In Augusta, and to his
brother, Louis Butt. in London. The
President was deeply affected by the
tragedy. and plainly showed his emotion
at yesterdays Cabinet meeting in dis
chssing the appalling loss Of life. The
President and others have not given up
hope for Maj Butt. but they acknowl-
edge that the outlook Is not bright. While
the ordering of the Salem and Chester
out to meet the Carpathia was for the
purpose OF relieving the anxiety Of the
many sorrowing friends and relatives on
shore, the President also had In mind
the obtaining of certain news as to
whether Maj. Butt IS on the Carpathia.

REFUGEES ARE NOT
ABOARD PARTISAN

Halifax, n. s.. April II q a. m.).-In
manager of the Allan Line, Capt.
Haynes, Of the steamship Partisan sent
the following by wireless:
81 have no survivors of the Titanic
on board. and no OmcIaI information
as to the fate of the ship. expect to
reach Halifax tomorrow morning."
Every possible source OF information
which might throw light upon the
fate of the 1000 or 1900 souls of the
lost Titanic's complement of passen-
gers and crew yet unaccounted for, was
tapped to-day without result. Wireless
waves secured the Atlantic from Sable
Island to Cape Race, but. beyond the
list of names of survivors which came
through the Carpathia to the Marconi
station. not a word has come to relieve
the suspense. Late tonight the Car
pathia is just coming into communica-
ton with the wireless station Non Sable
Island, and 1t hoped that definite details
of the disaster will be forthcoming be-
fore daylight.
All wireless stations are so blocked
with private messages that Il is ex-
tremely difficult to get anything through.
The Allan liner Partisan is now near

scene of disaster.
Charter Steamer for Search.
The only striking development in
strained situation occurred tonight when
a representative Of the New York agents
of the White Star Line arrived In Hall
fax, and in conjunction with A. c. Jones
& Co., Halifax agents, completed ar
rangements for the chartering OF the
cable steamer Mackay Bennett, which is
to be dispatched Immediately to the
scene Of disaster. The object Of the
trip is TO search for passengers who
might be still alive, clinging TO wreck
age or boats, or falling that, to recover
bodies.
It is recalled that when the French
liner La Bourgoype foundered of Sable
Island in July, 1895, there was evidence
that the passengers were ahoat in life
RATS for several days, and that when
the steamer was sent out from Halifax
fen days after the disaster by relatives
of the missing people scores of bodies
were found floating for miles around
where the ship sank. The dispatch OF
the relief steamer will also establish the
certainty of the sinking of the Titanic,
which some people think may be still
afioat as a derelict-

M ANY of the readers of The Weekly JEFF

Magazine.
These readers have been interested in the
series of chapters on the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy which have appeared for the past
two years in the Magazine.
In every known way, the Roman Catholics
have tried to suppress the publication of this
series of articles-and the reason was
palpable.
In calm, dispassionate manner I have
traced the history of this politico-reigious
organization from it's inception.
I have read not only other histories, have
gone deeply into the works of the Roman
Catholic theologians themselves
The result is-a book of facts, absolutely,
historically true.
The price Of the book is one dollar if
ordered from The Jeffersonian office.

less some that have been out of print-some
that were saved miraculously when every

added data which I did not have while the
serials were running.

Hack Overturned

What might have been a seri-
Gus accident occurred Monday
evening, when a hack driven by
Ray Sexton and containing nine
people, overturned. No serious
injuries were suffered, however,
as the occupants managed to
jump or spill thru the canvass of
the top as the turning proceeded.
The hack, which was somewhat
battered by the occurrence, was
again righted and the party pro-
ceeded joyfully, relating their
particular experiences. Besides
the driver, those in the hack
were Mrs. Sexton, and two
children Mrs. Bowden and two
children. Miss Annie Beals and
Fred Sloan.
