WOMEN TO FLASH
WIRELESS At SEA
Former stenographers Attired in Blue
Will Succeed Mere Men
as Operators.

SEATTLE, April 4.-Young women
dressed in neat tailored blue uniforms
and wearing caps trimmed in gold lace
will grace the vessels of the North Pa.
cifc as wireless operators, if the plans
of r. H. Armstrong, general manager
of the United Wireless Telegraph Com
pany, and his chief operator, C. b.
Cooper, are carried out.
Men as wireless operators in many
cases are unsatisfactory, in Arm
strong's opinion, and yesterday he de-
cided to try women.
Miss Mabel Kelso and Miss S.
Torugh, expert stenographers with some
knowledge of telegraphy, have been
turned over to Chief Operator Cooper
for thorough training. After the two
young women have begun the task of
mastering wireless telegraphy Cooper
will encounter his first difficulty.
All wireless operators are required to
wear uniforms while on duty aboard
ship, and Cooper has decided that the
young women shall wear neat blue
tailored uniform and close fitting jacket
with two rows of brass buttons.
The question of suitable cap was
soon answered. Cooper decided on a
blue cloth cap with just enough gold
lace to make it attractive.

Mrs. John Jacob Astor
on Board Sinking
Steamer.
Coast Sending Help as
Speedily as Tugs
Can Steam.

NEW YORK, April 15.-The new,
forty.fve thousand ton White Star
liner Titanic is reported from Cape
Race, Newfoundland, to have rammed
an iceberg and to be sinking fast by
the head. She has on board beside
thirteen hundred other passengers, Mrs.
John Jacob Aston, Major Archibald
Butte, u $. A. military aid to Presi-
dent Taft, Henry b. Harris, tho thea
trical magnate, who is completing a
trip around the world, and w. I. Stead,
the journalist and author.
The dispatches from Cape Race an
nounce that the weather is clear and
calm. The steamer is about three hun
dred miles south of the Newfouad.
land point, near the Virgin bank, and
directly in the path of the early bergs
going south.
The wireless operator is proving him.
self hero. For hours he has been
sticking to his post sending almost
constantly, first in calling aid and then
in keep the rescuers rushing to his
ships assistance in constant touch with
developments.
The word reached Cape Race early
yesterday afternoon, and was immedi-
ately flashed to New York and Boston,
where the principle Offices of the White
Star line are situated. The wireless
operator of the Titanic kept on calling,
sending the distress signal across the
ocean. After about an hour of this
work in which he was assisted by the
station at Cape Race, the S. s. Vir-
gilman picked up the message and at
once reported that she had turned her
head toward the wrecked vessel.
The steamer Baltic was the next to
respond and few moments after her
wireless was picked up the steamer
Olympic, of the same line also reported
that she was rushing to the aid of the
Titanic.
As soon as he knew that help was
coming the wireless operator began
sending bulletins of his ships condi-
ton, as the moments passed. The first
bulletin was that the "sea is calm and
the weather clear. Ship sinking by
the head, and bulkheads forward ex.
ploding under the water pressure
"Ship sinking by the head fast"
was the next bulletin. "Women are
being rushed to the boats, and the crew
is standing by. Another bulkhead has
gone.
The report of the accident is meager
The operator simply reports that the
Titanic rammed an iceberg whilc going
at full speed.
The Titanic sailed from Southampton,
ENGLAND, April 10, on her maiden trip.
She carried steerage, second and first
class thirteen hundred passengers.
There were $50 of the first class pas
sengers, including some of the most
prominent on both sides of the Atlantic.
She was launched May 81, 1911, by
Harand & Wolf, the famous Belfast
shipbuilders. So huge is her bulk that
it was found necessary to dredge the
harbor before she could be fioated.

No $1S,000-a-mile belt road could

unknown persons who some time be
tween the hours of six O'Clock Satur.
day evening and six yesterday morning,
walked off with the safe of the Koolau
Fruit Company, Heeia. The macadam
of the fine road which got itself laid
down by accident in this particular por
ton of the map was so smooth that
the unknowns were tempted to wheel
the safe three hundred feet down it and
break it open with a sledge-hammer.
After they had done this. they took
$500 in cash from it and departed. No
body knows where they went.
Chief McDuffie, Sergeant Kellett and
some of their men took trip over to
Heeia yesterday. The crime was cold
when they arrived but they gathered
such data as they could, instructed 10.
cal officers and returned.
The story of the robbery was easily
told from the tracks of the safe and
the footprints around it but the men
who fit the footprints win be harder
to find. Several important clues
which the police are keeping secret are
said TO have been discovered. The men,
however, according to Chief McDufie
last night, might be Filipinos.

OCEANIC LINERS TO
START THEIR TRIPS IN JUNE

The>vice president of the Oceanic
Steamship Company of San Francisco
has written to " Sproul the Sydney
representative, definitely stating that
his company will inaugurate the new
service between San Francisco ana Sgd
ney at an early date. Work is being
carried on apace on the Sonoma and
Ventura, and while it is little early
to name the date of dispatch for the
first steamer, it will probably be in
June.
The refrigerated space on the vessel
has been largely increased, and has al
ready been applied for by several firms
willing to sign contract for three
years. From San Francisco to Sydney
this space will be utilized mainly for
fruit, and in the opposite direction for
Australian products, including butter,
mutton and such, as well as for Aus
tralian fruit, the season in Western
America and Australia just being the
reverse of each other.
Is The passenger accommodation is
also being thoroughly reconstructed.
and it is confidently expected that not
only will the steamers be the fastest
transoceanic steamers on the Pacific,
but will also be luxuriously appointed
in their passenger departments to meet
the most critical taste of travellers.
Additions to the fleet are also con-
templated, and plans are being prepared
for steamers of greater tonnage, which
will enable the company to cater under
arrangements with Australian govern
ments for more than one port intereste
in this important trade on this side.
