Chief Officer
Of Leyland Line
Saw Big Iceberg

BOSTON. April 1S.-Chief Officer
Walker and the men of the steamship
Armenian, of the Leyland line, now in
dock here, declared today that In all
probability they passed within sight of
the iceberg that sank the Titanic. The
Armenian left Liverpool on April s.
"AbCut noon OH Sunday we ran into
our crew remember having seen," de-
clared Chief Officer Walker. "The day
was brilliantly clear. and the expanse
of ice seemed to stretch clear to the
horizon on three sides. At far intervals
were towering peaks of clear ice, ten or
twelve of which could be counted. Or
ders were sent to the engine room to
reduce speed and the Armenian threaded
her way slowly through the mass,
clearing II early in the night.
"All through the afternoon the crew
and passengers marveled not only at
the number of icebergs, but also at
their size and unusual formation. One
that we passed about 6 o'clock, about a
mile and half to starboard was the
largest I or anyone on the ship had
ever seen. It's height was estimated to
be between $50 and 300 feet at the high
est point In shape II somewhat resem-
bled a lion or dog lying down. mass
that was visible above the water line
seemed to be about 400 yards from end
to end.
The great iceberg Mt the time 1t was
sighted was clear of the sea of drift ice.
Calculations lead the officers of the Ar
menian to believe that 1t was this berg
that wrecked the Titanic"

REPORTERS TO BE
BARRED FROM BOAT
No One Will Be Allowed On
Board Carpathia Until
She Docks.

Newspaper men will not be permitted
to board the Carparthia before she
docks in New York tonight. The Gu

Government has decided to leave the
question of who shall board the vessel
and when they shall board to the dis
cretion' of the steamship company.
Many requests have been received at
the Treasury Department. for permis-
sion to board the vessel before she
reaches New York. The steamship Of
ficials put their objections on the ground
that the ships rescued passengers are
in a state of nervous exhaustion that
would not be allcviated by the presence
of reporters.

WIRELESS TOWER AT
ARLINGTON TO Be
LARGEST IN WORLD
Messages Can Be Sent 5000
Miles Over Sea, and AL
most AS Far on Land.

The last steel leg of the first 450-
foot wireless tower being erected at
Arlington was swung into place to-
day. United States flag dying from
the piece as 1t rose to the top of the
lofty frame. Another tower of equal
height is to be erected and a third
cne rising $50 feet. From these tow
ers, when they are completed, wire
less messages can be sent 5000 miles
over sea and almost this distance
over land.
Had this apparatus been completed
Sunday. messages could have been sent
directly from Washington to any OF
the vessels within hundreds of miles OF
the Titanic and direct communication
from here could have been maintained
to the Carpathia.
The construction work Is under charge
of Admiral r. c. Holiday. The wireless
division of the work is in charge of
Commander Tood and Lieutenant
Woodworth, U. S. n. The Bureau Of
ford in charge. Is doing the work. The
building operations, which are being
pressed forward rapidly. are under the
charge Of Arthur Cowsillm, who has
the contract for the work.
A power and engine house, transmit
ter and receiver buildings are being
erected. These with the three huge
towers, which will be visible from any
point within miles of Washington, will
constitute the most powerful wireless
station in the world.
A 3,0O0-mile radius over the seas would
include the Azores in the Atlantic, all
West Indian ports, and South Ameri-
can coast towns as far south of the
mouth OF the Amazon river. Owing TO
greater aerial disturbances transmission
over land is expected to be more diff
icult, but even allowing for impedi-
ment in transmission over land. the
waves from the Arlington tower will
radiate over half of North America.

NOTED CARTOON|STT
BLAMES SNOBS FOR
TITANIC DISASTER
Harry Furness, Late of
Punch, Condemns Mad
ness of Ocean Speed.

THE money grabbers and the snobs
are to blame for the appalling disaster
of the sinking Of the Titanic" said
Harry Furnlss, the famous English car
toonist, who is at the Shoreham. THE
money. grabbers are in feverish haste
to get across the water and within
reach of the dollars at the earliest pos
siblc moment. They care nothing for
cost or risk so that a few hours are
cut from the time they must spend III
the card rooms and smoking rooms OF
the steamer. Just as in club 1t ID
the smoking and card room that govern
the policy of the organization, so on
shipboard 1t Is that element that die
tates the size and speed of boats.
"The desire of the snobs to have pala-
tial suites on the biggest or the fast
est boat in the world makes these float
ing palaces profitable to the steamship
companies.
THE snobs and the money grabbers
are not confined to the American side
of the water, although the spirit OF
haste and heedlessness of risk are more
prevalent here. But this does not APP
ply to the, really solid and cultured class
of Americans.
These monster ships like the IL
tanic, must be dangerous. The small
ship compromises with the ocean bu'
these tremendous ships are forced by
their very size to join issue with the
mighty strength of the deep. II IL
strength against strength and In
battle the steamer must be the loser
against the forces of nature. Like the
giant man so these monster ships are
clumsy and unwiedly. They can no,
be stopped and turned with the speeo
and accuracy necessary to allow then
to thread their way safely through Ice
bergs and into port and out OF 1t.
This disaster will mark the end OF
the mad race for biggest ship among
the steamship companies. 1t Is ar
awful price of experience to pay for the
lesson but 1t will bring good. People
AiI return to the smaller and slower
Ships to the sensible and enjoyable ole
ways of voyaginR."
