LARGE SUMS OF
MONEY Sent To
ITALY'S RULERS

ROME, April 1.-THE recent at
tempt on the life of King Victor
Emmanuel is bearing most remark
able fruit in Italy in the way OF
charity. As token of their graft
tude at the kings escape. people
from all over Italy are now daily
sending large sums of money to the
king and to Queen Elena to be
used by them in whatever chari-
table manner they may choose.
In way this rather unusual man
Hesitation is result of the chari-
table work done in Italy by Queen
Elena. The later was formerly
Princess Helen of Montenegro, and
at first was rather coldly received
by the Italian people. Since then
she has endeared herself to the en-
tire nation, not only by her own
personal charity work, but by her
constant effort to arouse the rather
inherent women OF the Roman aris-
tocraey into active efforts in behalf
o fthe poor
The thank offerings now being re-
ceived amount to from one lire to
10000. which Queen Elena is ap-
portioning out.

by the California Wireless reaching

been recovered. The Olympic is
proceeding under a full head of
steam with a few bodies. 1t is
stated that the Olympic arrived at
the terrible scene too late to be
of any help to the unfortunate pas
sengers After the passengers and
the crew of the Olympic realized
the extent of the tragedy by the
big liner foundering in mid-oeean.
the passengers and crew alike. were
stunned and dumbfounded. Every
one on board the Olympic were re-
minded that Captain Smith, who had
been commander of the Olympic a
long time, and was also the first cap
tain of the White Star liner Ti-
tanie. had been one of those to go
to a watery grave aboard his ill
fated vessel, caused all to kneel in
prayer for the gallant captain Aft
er this had been done. orders were
given to both passengers and crew
TO not discuss the tragedy even
in a whispered conversation.
When Captain Haddock, who had
just been appoint to the post of
captaincy in place of Captain Smith,
heard of the disaster through wire
less messages, he promptly ordered
his vessel to proceed at once to
the calamity with a full head of
steam, always in the hope that he
would arrive in time sto save at
least some of the unfortunates. How.
ever. Captain Haddock's hopes were
blasted when he got into communi-
cation for the wireless operator OF
Cunard liner Carpathia that the
Titanic had just been swallowed
up by the sea. This first news of
the sinking of the Titanic flashed
by the wireless operator of the Car
pathia to the operator of the Olym-
pic caused veritable panic among
the passengers of Olympic, every
one being so shocked and appalled,
by the news.
The Olympic's orchestra, which
had been playing selections for the
edification of the passengers on
the Olympic, was ordered stopped
and the various Instruments were
put into their respective cases, and
these instruments will never be
heard again on this solemn voyage

manned almost stationary during all
of Tuesday in an effort to relaying
the list of survivors on the Car
pathia, the captain received a wire
less instruction ordering him to
proceed on his voyage. Not until
