BOAT WENT DOWN BEFORE HELP
ARRIVED, FIRST Liner ON SCENE
SAW ONLY BOATS AND WRECkAGE

| Race, N. F., telling of the sinking ;.lso
gave the information that the steam
ship California was remaining and
searching the vicinity of the disaster.
/ That the Virginian might have some
of the shipwrecked passengers Of the
+ Titanic on board was first believed,
but later dispatches dissipated this
hope. ..@. .....
Boat Sank Before Help Arrived.
The brief wireless dispatches so far
received show that the passengers and
crew passed through thrilling expert
ences from the very moment thai the
monster Titanic crashed into the ice
berg in the dead of the night until
the Carpathia, several hours later,
reached the scene and rescued the sur
vivors from life boats floating in a
sea of ice. The collision occurred at
a time when most of the passengers
had retired or were about to go to
bed The shock of the collision sent
many of the passengers to the decks
partly dressed. A wireless dispatch
came through Camperdown, N S., say
ing that the passengers were ordered
to the life boats at once and mat
many were scantily clad as they took
their places in the boats. This would
indicate that the Titanic's condition
was such that no time could be spared
to return to state rooms for additional
clothes. "t
Danger still confronted even those
who were so fortunate as to be put
aboard the life boats. Huge quantities
of field ice covered the ocean, a wire
less says, and in the darkness the
crew had to guide their boats with the
greatest care to prevent being damned
and overturned. The ice was so heavy
that the life boats could not force
their way through it and as result
the boats became widely separated.
The air was biting cold and the chill
that rose from the ice floes caused
the passengers to hover close together
to keep warm. All through the night
the life boats bobbed .helplessly be-
tween the shifting cakes of ice while
the survivors prayed for dawn to
come.
Shortly after two o'clock the sinking
Titanic made her great dive into the
sea, carrying with her hundreds of per-
sons to death. Ea
Daylight came and with it arrived |
he Cunard liner Carpathia. which
found only the score Of life boats

New York, April 16.-The tidings
that the Titanic had sunk came in a
brief wireless dispatch to Cape Race,
N. F., shortly after o'clock last night
from the White Star liner Olympic
which reported that the Titanic mad
foundered at about 2:20 a. m. Monday
morning in latitude 41.16 north and
longitude 50.14 west. The message
added that the steamship Carpathia,
then on her way to Naples, had
reached the scene of the wreck at
.daybreak and found only boats and
wreckage and that all the Titanics
boats were accounted for and "about
CTS souls saved, the crew and pas
sengers, the latter nearly all women
and children" -"
This news was confirmed shortly
afterward by officials of the White
Star line here who announced that the
Olympic had sent them wireless dis
patches that the Titanic had sunk,
A wireless dispatch received early
today at Boston which was relayed by
the Olympic from the Carpathia stated
that the Carpathia has 866 Titanic pas
sengers on board, mostly women and
children, concluding with the words:
Grave fears are felt for the safety
of the balance of the passengers and
the crew."

PASSENGERS KNOWN
TO HAVE BEEN SAVED

Cape Race, April 16.-The steam
ship Carpathia, which is believed to
have on board all the survivors of the
Titanic disaster, started early today
to send by wireless to this station the
list of the Titanic survivors. b.
Great difficulty was experienced in
getting many of the names correctly
and more than a score of names as
made out here did not appear at all
on the Titanic's original passenger
list, but it Is believed that many OF
these were passengers who had
booked at the last moment. The re-
ceipt of the list of the first cabin sur
vivors required more than six hours
of work So far as the names check
up correctly the following saloon pas

WEATHER CROP
BULLETIN OUT
CHAPEL, DIRECTOR OF IOWA
SECTION OF AGRICULTURE,
ISSUES REPORT

Des Moines, April 16.-The winter
was severely cold and of long dura-
ton, and the amount of snow
fall was the greatest on record
The, larger part of the state was COW
cred with snow nearly all of the time
from" December 20 to about March
25. The snow went off rapidly after
March 20, but as there was but little
frost in the ground, the larger part
of the water was absorbed by the
soil, yet all streams were at high
stage at the close of the month, and
much bottom ground, especially in
the southern counties, was flooded.
The heavy mantle Of snow afforded
good protection to fall-sown grains
and grasses and they are now in good
condition except in the counties along
the mississippi river from Scott
county southwark, where the snow
covering was light during the cold
weather in January and most of Feb.
ruary. The past week has been fav-
orable for field work. and much seed
ing. blowing and disking has been
done with the soil in excellent filth.
The acreage Of winter wheat is much
greater than it was last year, but the
extent Of spring seeding depends
largely on the conditions during the
next few days, as only about one
half to two-thirds of the acreage in
tended for small grain has yet been
seeded. Many potatoes have been
planted and gardens made. Fruits
have remained nearly dormant as yet,
and except peaches and pears, are re-
ported to have been uninjured by the
low winter temperatures. Live stock
came through the winter in fairly
good condition, but in most sections
the supply of hay and rough feed has
been entirely or nearly exhausted.
While the season opens a little later
than usual, the conditions at present
are favorable for a good crop year. u

ANOTHER STEEL PROBE
Corporations Dealings With Railroads
to Be investigated.

The interstate commerce commits.
sion has ordered an investigation in.
volving the United States Steel cor
poration.
The committees inquiry will be into
the rates, practices, rules and regula.
tions governing the transportation oi
cement, iron ore, iron, steel and their
products. lnasmuch as iron ore, iron
and steel constitute a large part Of
the traffic on many roads the i'm.
portance of the investigation is ap-
parent.
The object of the commission s
move will be to determine if the rates
are excessive and to ascertain if the
relations that exist between the rail-
roads in the United States east of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers and concerns engaged
in mining and producing iron, steel
and cement
The sweeping character of the pro.
ccedings is indicated by the fact that
800 railroads are named as de.
PENDANTS. The commission has not yet
fixed date to begin the investigation.
The order directs the inquiry he
made with a view to compelling the
respondents to desist from any such
practices.

HUMID NOW, NOT MUGGY.
An Old Time Familiar Weather Word
That Has Passed Into Dlsuse.

Fifty years ago." said the middle
aged man, "close, sticky weather was
commonly described as muggy. No
body ever said humid or spoke of
the humidity in the air.
Scientific persons knew then, as
everybody does now, the cause Of the
airs seeming closeness and sickness,
but the common people, of whom |
was one, did not. We all in those
days described close, sticky weather
as muggy.
But the present generation knows
'muggy' not at all Everybody now
knows that the closeness and the
sickness are due to excessive mois-
ture in the atmosphere, to high
humidity in a high temperature; this
as far as it goes exact present day
knowledge being due to the establish
ment Of the weather service and to
the widespread dissemination of its
reports through the daily newspapers.
Now, whether we realize It or not We
all have a scientific knowledge of the
cause of this weather condition and
now we all say humid and humidity
not 'muggy' or 'mugginess.'
And so that good old word 'muggy,'
once in universal use, has now passed
into all but total disuse. 1t Is rarely
heard; never indeed except as it may
be spoken instinctively or reminis.

ACTIVITY BEING FELT

Reduction in Price of Grains Helps
Business Boom, Says Duns.
Dun's Review of Trade says this
week:
Progress is in the right direction A
noteworthy incident this week is the
decline in prices of all grains, es-
pecially wheat, which was sharply de-
pressed by reports of exceptional crop
advancement in the northwest. Ten
days will place the spring wheat crop
beyond danger from drought.
''In the west manufacturing plants
are busy and labor is well employed.
Higher wages, larger payrolls AMI
great activity in industrial lines mark
the progress of events in the Pittsburg
district and stimulate all branches Of
business in that section"

HUSBAND MAY SPANK WIFE.
Took Jury Nearly "a Hours to Come to
That Decision.

After being out for almost twenty.
four hours a jury in Judge Vandeven.
ter's court in East St. Louis decided
that a husband has a right to spank
his wife. The jury therefore refused
to give divorce to Mrs. Hannah

Yowell testified that at A. NJ,
he got up and gave his wife "a good
spanking" because she had kept him
awake for four hours talking to him.
He then dressed and went to neigh.

He called me red head when he
wanted to make me mad" said Mrs.

spanked his wife he asked her repeat.

words, but the verbal storm lasted for
four hours and he was unable to get
