ship is practically certain. Authorities on conditions off the banks agreed that rescues of passengers not taken from the liner by the boats would have to be made speedily, as exposure and exhaustion would quickly sap the life of human beings forced to take to any other means of keeping afloat.
 Private Messages of Reinsurance.
 During the early evening hours, the wireless communication of the Car pathia with Siasconset was devoted for the most part, it appeared, to send ing private messages of reaSsurance from passengers to friends on shore and to transmission of anxious inquir- ies from land to sea. Momentarily the chance was awaited for communica- tion of greater moment to the world at l0rge-the opportunity to learn the long awaited recital of the Titanic's fateful last hours afloat
 Other Wireless Business Suspended.
 That every chance ight be afforded for free communication with the slow ly approaching liner, practically all other wireless business along the coast tonight was suspended. The Marconi company announced early in the evening that it had notified its stations at South Wellfleet, Siascen- set, Sagaponack and Sea Gate to han de messages to and from the Carpa- thia exclusively.
 Notice to tSations.
 "AI other commercial and govern ment stations" the message reads, will cease transmitting while the Carpathias business is being eX- changed with the above mentioned stations No other work than the Carpathias and business from the government ships going to meet the ,Carpathia will be permitted
 Steamer Goes to Seek the Dead.
 These instructions, it was explained, were sent out in conformity with the suggestion made to the United States government by the MarcOni company, and was agreed to. While careful preparations were being made here to receive and safeguard the living on their arrival here, word came that @ cable steamer had set out for the scene of the disaster from Halifax to seek the dead.

To Investigate
 Titanic Wreck SENATE ACTS EXPEDITioUsLY ON
 RESOLUTION FOR MORE LIFEBOATS
Bill introduced to Require Provision for Every Passenger and Every Member of the Ships Crew.

Washington. April 17.-Congress act ed swiftly today on the Titanic catas- trophe. Bills and resolutions designed to prevent g. repetition of the awful disaster off the Newfoundland Banks poured into both houses.
 A Thorough Investigation.
 The senate agreed to a resolution directing a thorough investigation by the commerce committee of the causes leading to the wreck, with particular reference to the inadequacy of life boats. This resolution, the first intro duced in the senate. presented by Sen ator Smith of Michigan, who ranks next to the chairman of the committee, was adopted by unanimous consent in one hour and twenty minutes.
 Treaties to Regulate Safety.
 Senators Maritime of New Jersey and Perkins of California, the latter chair man of the naval affairs committee, also introduced bills. Senator Maritime proposed that the president be advised that the senate would favor treaties with maritime nations to regulate the safety of ocean craft and their passen- gers and crew.
 Enough Boats to Carry Everybody
 Senator Perkins resolution provided for the equipment of steamers with adequate life saving apparatus. It would require that every steamer shall have a sufficient number of seaworthy lifeboats to carry lat one time every passenger and every member of the crew." that it shall not clear any port without so certifying to the federal su- pervising inspectors, who would deter mine the character of such equipment but would have no discretion whatever as to the number of lifeboats, which would be determined solely by the ac- tuaI capacity to carry all aboard.
 Three Cubic Feet for Each Person.
 The Perkins resolution even pre- scribed that the lifeboats should have not less than three cubic feet of dis placement for each person. The Mar tine resolution was referred to the for eign relations committee and the Per kins resolution went to the commerce committee
 Life Presevers for Each Person.
 The house committee on merchant marine will speedily take up the many 1 bills and resolutions which have beer introduced bearing on the Titanic dis aster
 Representative Sulzer of New York mtttee, offered a joint resolution iden. tical with the senate resolution intro. duced by MT. Perkins. The Perkins. Sulzer provisions would require a If, preserver for each person aboard.

ton authorities to their friends and relatives as soon as they leave the ship, although such as may desire will be taken to Ellis Island and cared for.
 The Cunard officials announced that they would permit on the pier only friends and relatives of the survivors, who will be admitted by pass after having established their right to obtain one at the company's offices No press photographers, they said, will be ad- mitted, and the police will rope off large space outside the pier to keep back curious crowds.
 Although the government officials have signifed their willingness to al- low newspaper representatives and rel atives of the survivors to board the ship from revenue cutters before she reaches the dock, the Cunard officials indicated tonight that this privilege would not be granted. In that event the full story of the great disaster, ex cept such details as may be meantime received by wireless, will not be learn ed, it is likely, until long after the Car pathia has docked.
 Criticism of the BUikheads.
 London. April 1.-The electrical control of the bulllheads installed in the Titanic is coming in for much crit icism. It is stated here that they are pet idea of Lord Pierrie, who insists on introducing them in ships built at Belfast, despite the condemnation of many well known constructors who pin their faith to the hydraulic power as bein far more reliable. These con- structors point out that even small mishap is liable to render the electric installation useless.
 To Search for Bodies.
 Halifax, N. S., April 1.-The cable ship Mackay- Bennett, which has been chartered by the White Star line to go to the scene of the Titanic disaster, was being loaded today for departure. In the hope that some bodies may be picked up, .cotfins are being included in the cargo, and several undertakers and eInbalmers will so along.
 "All the Women Saved"
 New York; April 17.-''An women saved. On the Carpathia." This wire less despatch was received today from Mrs. Caroline Bonnell. one of the Tt- tauio's rescued passengers, now bound for New York on the CaTpathia. The message came to H. w. Bonnell of Youngstown, her brother stopping at the WaldorI-ASIOr1d, rom -AiS' DUH nelPs uncle, on the Olympic.
 Passed 70 Miles of Icebergs.
 New York, April 17-What is said to have been the greatest iceberg field ever seen off the coast of NeWfound- land was sl1irted by the steamship La Bretagne of the French line, which ar rived at this port from Havre today, bringing over 775 passengers. The field was 70 miles in length, and probably fas wide. and the Bretagne was five hours in passing along its edge. Seat tered among the small ice were be- | tween 40 and 50 immense bergs,

STILL CRYING FRAUD"
Roosevelt Declares Tafts Chances
 Would Be Slim # People Ruled.

Omaha, Neb., April 17-'Tt is not a nice thing to use evil instruments in order Co do dirty work" said Colonel Roosevelt in an attack tonight in & speech at the auditorium upon sup porters of the Taft administration. Tt is an even less nice thing to throw fhs evil instruments aside when they are broken and loudly make believe that they are not Intentionally used"
 Colonel Roosevelt charged that tho presidents managers with the help less acQuiesoence of Mir. Taft" were relying solely upon the support of the bosses" who stand for what is worst in our political life.
 There is not one ltate out of ten in which Mir. Taft would have any chance if the vote were left to the people themselves" he asserted.
 Later on he said: "Outside of the delegates that represent either the un- scruplous use of patronage or else sheer fraud, MT. Tafrs strength would be trivial and indeed negligible in the present contest"
 "Fo profit by wrong doing" hs add ed, lis mighty little better than actu- ally to do wrong and the adminlBlra~- tion is seeking to profit by this wrong doing"
 In his address tonight Colonel Roos- evelt said that Senator Loriuaer and Senator Penrose recognize in Mr. Taft the kind of a progressive whom they are willing to clasp to their hearta"

TWO MORE LEVEES
 YIELD TO STRAIN
Situation at TalIulah, La, la Rapidly
 Growing More Serious.

Two more levee breaks last ni~ht added to tho horror of tho lower Bis- sissippi valley flood situation, which already has made several thouaarld persons homeless and devastated a large area of rich farming land. Tho worst break was in a Mississippi river dlke four miles below Beulah, Miss.. and about forty miles from OreenviIle. A long stretch of this leVee has given the flood fighters much anxiety, tt bs- ing feared for a time the GTeenvilie levee itself would go out Breaks north and south of GreenVille, however, had somewhat relieved the situation, and much of the fear had been allayed. The other break is comparatively unim- portant It is in the Arkansas river levee 16 miles north of Arkansas City. Engineers figure it will not endangsr much more property.
 Water from the Panther Forast crevasse began to flood Lake ProVl- denee, La, yesterday. This must ioSn the sea of water rushing through tho Dog Tail break. which has already flooded a large section of northrn Lou isiana and eventually will inundats a large percentage of a territory of 10 miles in length and from 10 to GO railea in breadth.
 The situation at Tailulah, La, ia rap idly growing mere serious. That little town will receive the eombiHad force of the two floods Drinking water ia running low and provisions for those able to purchase them are all hut eE- hausted. Rescue parties are being ap- ganized at Vieksbury to go to faflu- lah to take out all those who wish in leave for places of safety.

WARNED OF lcEBERes.
Captain of German Steamer Altered
 His Course in Consequence

Philadelphia, April 1.-The North German Lloyd liner Hanover, which arrived here today from Bremen, re- ported having been warned by wireless by the liner George Washington of the presence of ice foes and bergs in the region where the Titanic foundered, and altered her course accordingly says Captain Proitzsch of the Hannov- CT.
 Tt is an impossibility that Captain Smith or whoever was on the bridge of the Titanic at the time of the crash did not know of the presence of ice" Captain Proitzsch said. Any one ac- customed to the sea cannot fail to know of the proximity of an iceberg when one is near."
 Boston Flags at Half Mast.
 Boston, April 17.-F1ags on all the city buildings will be placed at half mast in Boston as soon as it is official ly learned that the missing Bostonians were lost aboard the Titanic, according to q statement issued by Mayor Fitz- gerald tonight.
 Bereaved Aunt Dies of Grief.
 Brockton, Mass, April 17.-AIiss Katherine L. Mcguire, aged 50, heart broken by the news that her nephew, John E. Mcguire, was among those probably lost on the Titanic, was taken violently ill tonight and died within a few moments. She had been in the best of health, apparently, but was much attached to her nephew, and the shock was more than she could bear.

ROYAL SYMPATHY
Extended to United States by British
 and Belgian Monarchs.

and Belgian Monarchs.
 Washington, April 17.-President Taft today made public eablegrams received from the king and queen of England and the king of Belgium, conveying their sympathy to the Am erican people in the sorrow which has followed the Titanic disaster. The presidents responses to both mes sages were also made public.
 The following was the cablegrara from King George. dated at Sandriag- ham;
 'The queen and I are anxious to assure you and the American nation of the great sorrow which we exDeri- enced at the terrible loss of life that has occurred among the American cit lzens as well as among my own suh- jects by the laundering of the Titanic Our two countries are so intimately allied by ties of friendship and broth erhood that any misfortune V Pich af- fleets the one must necessarily qffect the other, and on the present terrible occasion they are both equally suffer CTS. (Signed)
 GEORGE R and |"
 President Tafts reply was as fol- lows:
 Tn the presence of the appalling disaster to the Titanic, the people of the two countries are brought into community of grief through their common bereavement. The American people share in the sorrow of their kinsmen beyond the sea. On behalf of my countrymen I thank you for your sympathetic message.
 (Signed) WILLIAM H. TAFYP
 The message from King Albert ot Belgium was as follows;
 T beg your exceIlency to accept my deepest condolences on the occasion of the frightful catastrophe to the Titanic which has caused such mourn ing in the American nation"
 Thez presidents acknowledgment follows:
 T deeply appreciate your sympathy with my fellow countrymen who have been stricken with af1liction through the disaster to the Titanic"

BODIES SANK TO BOTTOM.
Prof. Wood Thinks it Improbable That
 They Will Be Recovered.

Baltimore, April 17.-'The bodies of the victims of the Titanic disaster are at the bottom of the deep. never to laaIe it," said Prof, Robert w Wood of the chair of experimental physics at Johns Hopkins university, today.
 It is altogether improbable that any of the corpses will ever return to the surface of the water, as is the case with bodies drowned in shallow water.
 At the depth of two miles the pres sure of the water is something like 5000 pounds to the square inch. which is far too great to be overcome by buoyancy ordinarily given drowned bodies by the gases that are generated in time
 That the bodies sank to the bottom of the sea there is no question: he continued.
