8 TITANIC VICTIMS FOUND
VICTIMS IN BOAT EVIDENTLY
STARVED TO DEATH.
Finding of Life Boat Raft Disproves
Former Statement That All Life
Boats Were Accounted For.

New York, y Y-Bits Of cork in
their mouths and tooth marks on the
cork and wood portions of the boat
indicated that starvation killed the
three Titanic victims whose bodies
were in a Titanic collapsible life boat
picked up by the White Star liner
Oceanic, which arrived here.
Two of the bodies were secured to
thwarts by pieces of chains. The
body of a cabin passenger was identi-
fed by the clothing as that of Thomp-
son Beattie Of Chicago The other
two were members of the crew.
A fur coat with the name Williams
inside the pocket and a woman's ring
inscribed Edward 10 Cordia,8 indicat-
ed that there had been others in the
life boat.
The bodies were buried at sea.
White Star line officials say that
the life boat is that mentioned by
Third Officer Lowe, OF the Titanic,
who said that he left three bodies in
the life boat of which he had charge,
when his y passengers were trans
ferred to the Carpathia. This con
flicts with the evidence of starvation.

STORE OBSERVES
ITS ANNIVERSARY
8. Kann, Sons q Co. Celebrating

teen Years Ago.

This week 10 anniversary week at the
store Of 6. Kann. Sons Z Co. II marks
the nineteenth year since the establish
ment Of the firm. and In honor Of the
occasion the big store IL decked In it,
gaudiest and receiving Thousands Of Wis
itors daily. Special decorations and dis
plays inside and out have been devised
for the celebration. and the army OF
salespeople has been working it, hardest
since Monday morning to display to the
multitudlnous callers the immense stock.
Nineteen years ago 8. Kann. Sons 4
Co. began business in Washington in
one small room at III Market Space.
Now the institution is veritable city.
peopled daily by 1000 employees. where
everything from q meal to q diamond
tiara may be purchased. Even politics
take their place with the rest OF the
wares handled At Kann's. They seem to
have solved the solution Of the present
paramount political probiem-the identity
Of the next President Of the United
states-about ~ satisfactorily as most
Of the political "dopesters." In the win
dow to the east Of the main entrance the
three entrants In the political race are
seen making for the White House-Wn-
son on the donkey, Taft on the elephant.
and Roosevelt on the Bull Moose. The
spectator stands breathless to see which
one Is going to reach the eminence nrst.
but at the crucial moment each slips
back and starts the journey afresh.

display that has caused comment by its
beauty. Roses and chrysanthemums are
piled together in profusion. This has
the distinction of being a window dis
play in which there is no merchandise.
a thing unusual with department store
window dressing.
Inside, the same ingenuity has been
used to beautify the big store and make
II attractive to the public. Especially
fine goods are tastefully displayed. Spe-
cial concessions in price have been made
and many striking innovations have
been devised. Even the Mattresses in
the restaurant are garbed for the occa-
sion in special uniform.
The host of salespeople has been given
no small amount OF attention by the
firm. and their wants are recognized and
cared for. There is a mutual benefit
association that pays sick and death
benefits. There are rest rooms for the
employees; a dispensary under the charge
of a matron trained to meet every emer-
gency of sickness that may arise, and
there Is q sanitary lunchroom.
Since the opening day Of the anniver-
sary week Of the proprietors. Messrs.
Louis, Sigmund. and Simon Kann. sons
Of the founder OF the store. and George
s. De Meals. the manager. have been
receiving scores Of congratulatory letters
on the success Of the occasion. and the
store has been thronged daily with q
crowd almost beyond the powers Of the
salespeople to attend to.
