allowed it to be introduced as testi
nony without any comment.
In the first trial of the case Judge

wounds which caused Kilduffs death
were from a revolver or a pointed in
strument rntii the undertaken, I. L.
Ackley, was placed on the stand. He
said there were powder marks plainly

used it's powerful wireless all yester-
day. 1t asked for full list OF the sur
vivors and for such information as
would throw light on the disaster, but
for hours the appeals were disre-
garded.
The wireless man at the Boston navy
yard with his ear keen for Carpathla
tidinss heard that ship tell the Chester
to keep out: that the Carpathia
would not work with. the Chester, but
only with the station at Siasconsett.
The chester flashed landward the
disa ppointing news that 1t was doing
it's best to talk with the Carpathia. but
that its requests had been refused.
Finally Gets in Touch.
II was not until $50 p. m. that the
cruiser finally succeeded in establishing
commuri cation. The Carpathia sent
four messages to the Chester which
were relayed by that ship to the scout
cruiser Salem. which was nearer land.
On account Of atmospheric conditions
the messages, could not he picked up.
There was no information anywhere

about 700 We're picked up from the
Ttanic,s boats or as TO whether this
figure included members of the crew
who manned the boats or excluded
them.
In this disturbing silence rumors
agitated the city. one Of these placed

nothing more than an unverified dis

POLICE NATIONS At WATERLOO
5 STAND PAT IN THEIR
POSITIONS.
NEW MAYOR DESIRES TO
APPOINT ANOTHER TO PLACE
matrons Selected by Outgoing Mayor
Claim They Wsrs Appointed for
Terms Of Two Years and Can Not BE
MoIsstsd- Controversy May Get Into
Courts.

{ Waterloo, April 1s.-If the mayor
or the city council or both attempt to
Gust the two police matrons appointed
by ]. r. Rector a few weeks before
the close of his administration, the
matrons. Mrs. Margaret Strayer and
Mrs. Matte Carey. will take the matter
to the courts, believing that they were
appointed in accordance with the law
and to hold Office for two years.
The newly appointed officers are de-
termined to stand pat and to fight
against what they consider mere
political move to throw their positions
or at least one of them, to the choice
Of the new administration. Neither
matron will resign and they hold they
can not be discharged except thru
charges of malfeasance in office.
Mayor Thompson. it is said, wishes
to maintain only one matron in office
and being unable to select one Of the
two now in Office without a show of
Partially or wishing to disregard j.
r. Rector's choice, is contemplating
Mrs. Agnes Starr of 2OS
Clay street to settle the matter.
Commissioners Stand Pat.
Standing pat with the police ma
irons is the board of fire and police
commissioners who believe the ac-
ton contemplated by the mayor and
council is political subterfuse. They
are in accord with the proposition
providing for the maintenance of one
natron IN office and believe that one
a lone would be sufficient for the city
Of Waterloo. 1t is their contention,
however. that both matrons should
be retained in office until the period
C overed by their appointment expires,
or until there is just cause for their
removal from the office.

that many of the women taken from
the sinking Titanic were made temper
arily insane and are now under the
care Of physicians on the Carpathia.
A third of these relayed messages
gives the first hint OF the occurrences
aboard the Titanic after it struck tho
iceberg. This message says several
passengers were killed in their berths
by the force of the impact. 1t is re.
ported that least $50 members Of the
Titanics crew were killed in the col
lision.
List Of Saved Complete.
The roll Of the saved from the tt
tanic disaster as previously messaged
to shore seems complete.
Practically every attending circum.
stance in the transmission Of news
only 1928 Of the s10 cabin passengers
Of the Titanic are safe on the rescue
ship.
The +282 cabin passengers whose
names have not appeared in the lists
must probably be conceded as among
the 1872 lives which the collision is
believed to have taken.
lsmay Gets Message.
The cruisers Salem and Chester,
which were sent out by the government
to aid i'll telling the world the story
Of the Titanic, have been unable to
get into communication with the CaT-
pathia.
In spite Of the insistent requests Of
the Chester for. Information as to the
circumstances of the collision and
laundering, the Carpathia, for some
reason that mystified those waiting for
intelligence, was receiving messages
but not answering them. ~

A report which persisted, and which
carried with 1t some hope for those who

feet that a few. of the Titanic's people
might have been picked up by fishing
boats at work south Of the Grand
Banks, but the probability Of that is %
slight as to be almost negligible.
The report was based on the state.
ment Of Captain Wood. Of the Leyland
line freighter Etonian, who said that
as he came along the track which was
followed by the Titanic. he observed q
number Of fishing vessels In the vicin-
ity of the spot where the Titanic went
down. There was Just a possibility.
Captain Wood thought. that some Of
the passengers afioat in life belts had
been saved by these fishing vessels.
But the Etonian was unable to COM
municate with any Of them.
