AsToR ESTATE WILL SPEND
MILLION IN AN EFFORT TO
RECOVER BODY OF COLONEL

New York, April 25.-Vincent Aston
has admitted for the first time since
the sinking of the Titantic that he had
lost all hope of seeing his father alive
The size of the reward for the dis
covery of the body of Colonel Astor
may be guessed at from the announce
ment that the Astor estate will spend
S1.000,O0O i'm an effort to find IT, The
managers Of the estate have been In
consultation with marine engineers
and have retained several to go with
an expedition.
The coming TO New York OF Mrs.
Ava Willing Astor, who divorced Colo
mel Astor and her daughter Muriel, is
not believed to have anything to do
with the petitioning of the estate ex-
cept so far as il affects Muriel Astor.
There are reasons why it might be
more convenient for the purpose OF
disposing of so vast a fortune, that the
heirs should all be i'm this country.
Mrs. Ava willing Astor is expected
Eere Thursday or Friday of next week.
Tier wishes will be consulted as 10
where she will stay, but it is under
stood that she will occupy Colonel AS
tors town house here with the son,
Vincent. when she comes to comfort
him, and that Mrs. Madeline Force
Astor will in the meantime. be taken
to the Astor country place, Rhine Cliff.
There is said TO be no resentment
IN tho mart Of the first wife against
the second wife and II is not improb-
able that they may meet In the most
friendly way after a time. a cable
message of sympathy from Mrs. Ava
Willing Astor has already been re-
ceived by Mrs. Madeline Forcc-Astor.
An acknowledgement was at once re-
turned.

GERMANY PLANNING
FOR POSSIBLE WAR
CHANCELLOR DEFENDS THE RE-
QUEST FOR INCREASE IN THE
ARMY AND NAVY.

Berlin, April 25.-The debate on the
bills increasing the Germany army and
navy. has opened in the Reichstag,
Dr. Won Bethmann- Hollwegg, the i'm
perial chancellor. i'm introducing the
measures, justified the increase on the
grounds of Germany's exposed con-
tinental position and the ever present
danger of unexpected war
The present international situation,
he said, was most reassuring, despite
alarmist rumors and evidences of per-
haps mistaken patriotism abroad.
He was sure that no great power
wished for or was planning war with
Germany. but the wars OF the past
had developed unexpectedly and the
possibility of a conflict remains in d
higher degree than before owing To
the increased facilities for tanning
public agitation.
The chancellor defended the gov
ernment for not adopting the inheri-
tance tax I'm order to finance the army
and navy bills. because adequate funds
were available without this.

TITANIC DID NOT
STRIKE ON ROCKS
PHOTOGRAPHERS SAY SOUND
INGs DO NOT SHOW RISE
OF OCEAN BED.

Washington. April 25.-With the Vir-
gin Rocks fully $50 miles north Of
where the Titanic foundered. navy hy-
dographers express the opinion that il
is exceedingly improbable that the III =
tanic struck a semi submerged rock.
The suggestion that the Titanic
struck a ledge of rock and not an Ice
berg is made in the current issue Of
the Nautical Gazette. a weekly ship
ping paper of New York. The possi-
bihty of such an accident is urged be-
cause the ship struck i'm the same
longitude as the half- submerged Vir-
Gin rocks to the north, and possibly
in the same spot where the Naronlc
foundered in 1898.
The Titanic. il is suggested, being
the deepest ship of the seas, might
have hit rock that other ships have
passed over safely.
While no soundings have been made
in the immediate vicinity of the posi-
ton where the Titanic went down. the
navy experts explain that scuncings
farther northward show a steady de-
cline of the sea bottom towards the
ships position.
1t is declared that US the water
where the Titanic struck is approxim-
ately two miles deep. it would take Il
formation with an enormous base 10
bring the apex anywhere near the sus-
face and soundings at a ten knot dist
ance would show a rise in the oceans
bottom. The nearest soundings made
south Of the point where the disaster
occurred is GO miles away and these
show 100 fathoms.
Nothing is known how the Naronlc
met her fate in 1895. but the record
says she might have strack an ice'bere
or had an explosion. but all the charts
reveal is that two of her boats were
found on March 4. 1898. at latitude AZ
north and longitude &c west.
