WIRELESS CALLS AID
Steamers Rush 10 Scene and Pick
Up Survivors.
Only Mass of Wreckage Tells OF Big
Ships Fate-LittIe Hope for
1900 Passengers.

New Worthwhile the fate of the
majority of the 2, 100 persons on board
the mammoth White Star liner Titanic
which sank early Monday in the New
Foundland Banks after a collision with
an iceberg seems absolutely certain,
there is slight possibility that some
Of them may have been picked up by
fishing boats which have not yet re-
turned to shore.
A wireless message from the
White Star liner Olympic, one of the
vessels lowering near the scene of the
disaster, flashed the news that 866 of
the Titanic's passengers, mostly wo-
men and children, were being brought
to port by the Cunarder Carpathia.
Other messages later brought confirm
atory tidings.
First reports were that the Carpa-
thia had saved but 675 persons. The
new figures reduce the list of those
for whose fate fear was felt by nearly
200, and if, as seems probable, prac-
tically all those saved were passen-
gers, it would appear that all but APP
proximately $50 of the vessels pas
sengers are accounted for.
A partial list of the survivors re-
ceived from the Carpathia include
names of many women of prominence.
After the first calls of the Titanic
for help had brought steamers for
hundreds of miles around speeding to
the scene, what seems to have been an
impenetrable wall of silence was
raised between here and the steamer
The liner so far as advices appear
went to her fate without so much as a
word of what must have been the
scenes of terrible tragedy enacted on
her decks.
In the lack of even line from a
survivor Imagination pahses before
even trying to conjecture what passed
as the inevitable became known and it
was seen that out of the more than
1000 human lives with which she was
freighted there could be hope of saw
ing as it appears, far less than half.
Other than the news that 500 per-
sons, largely women and children. had
been rescued from the liners boats by
the Cunarder Carpathia, several hours
passed without word as to the fate OF
the rest of those on board at the time
of the fateful crash. Along the en-
tire Atlantic coast wireless instru.
ments were attuned to catch from any
source word that possibly one of the
many steamships which rushed to the
assistance of the Titanic bore other
survivors. But the ships reported to
be at or near the scene of what,
viewed in the light of possibilities,
may be recorded as the worlds great
est marine horror, gave not the slight
est syllable of encouragement to the
anxiously waiting world.
The steamer Virginian was finally
heard from at 2:l5 o'clock Tuesday
morning. She did not report the
presence of any survivors on board.
The Titanic lies buried two miles
beneath the ocean surface, midway
between Sable Island and Cape Race
Her position when she struck the ice
berg was given as latitude Al :4t
north, longitude SOFA west.
According to the Carpathia's ad
vices the liner, which struck the ice
berg at 0:25 O'Clock Sunday night
sank at 2 20 o'clock Monday morning
nearly four hours later.

China Names Yale Man.

New York-Chung Nun Yu, the old
Yale coxwain, has been appointed min
lister Of the Chinese repblic to the
United States, according to Shanghai
dispatch to the Herald. Chung entered
Yale in 1883, after preliminary studies
in the Hartford, Conn, public schools,
and made the crew in his Freshman
year, steering Yale's shell to victory
against Harvard. He was elected to
the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity,
the only one of his race to be so hon
ored. Later he acted as an interpre-
ter at the legation in Washington.

New York-Facts which / have es-
tabIished by inquiries on the Carpa-
thia as positively as they could be es-
tablished in view of the silence of the
surviving officers are:
That the Titanic's officers knew,
several hours before the crash, of the
possible nearness of the icebergs.
That the Titanic's speed, nearly 23
knots an hour, was not slackened.
That the number of lifeboats on the
Titanic was insufficient to accommo-
date more than one third of the pas
sengers, to say nothing of the crew
Most members of the crew say that
there were Is lifeboats and two col
lapsibles; none say there were more
than 20 boats in all. The 700 who es-
capped filled most of the 16 lifeboats.
Had the ship struck the iceberg
head-on with whatever resulting shock,
the bulkhead system of watertight
compartments probably would have
saved the vessel. AS one man ex
pressed it, it was the impossible that
happened when, with a shock unbe-
lievably mild, the ships side was torn
for length which made the bulkhead
system Ineffective.
At IL as came the sudden sound of
two guns, a warning of immediate
danger.
The crash against the iceberg which
had been sighted at only a quarter of
a mile, came almost simultaneously
with the click of the levers operated
by those on the bridge, which stopped
the engines and closed the watertight
doors.
Captain Smith was on the bridge a
moment later, giving orders for the
summoning on deck of all aboard and
for the putting on of lifepreservers
and the lowering of the lifeboats.
The first boats lowered contained
more men passengers than the later
ones, as the men were on deck first
and not enough women were there to
fill them.
When a moment later the rush OF
frightened women and crying children
to the deck began, enforcement of the
women first rule became rigid. Off.
GERS loading some of the boats drew
revolvers, but in most cases the men
both passengers and crew, behaved in
a way that called for no such restraint
Members of the crew discredit all
reports of suicide and say Captain
Smith remained on the bridge unit
just before the ship sank, leeping only
after those on the deck had beer
washed away. 1t is also related that
when cook later sought to pull him
aboard lifeboat, he exclaimed, "Lei
me CO." and jerking away, wen
: down.
The following named men of world
wide note are known to have gone
down on the Titanic: Colonel Johr
Jacob Astor, financier; Benjamin
Guggenheim, mining magnate; c. M
} Hays, railway magnate; w. 7. Stead

Portland-Nearly four-fifths of the
vote OF the state of Oregon on Presi-
dent and United States senator has
been counted and reported. These
returns indicate that Theodore Roose-
welt has carried Oregon over President
Taft by about 1000 votes and has OBJ
tanned a plurality over Robert La Fol
lette of about 5000.
Ben Selling has carried Oregon over
Senator Bourne by at least 5000, ac-
cording to resent indications, with the
probability that the plurality will run
up to $500.
These estimates are based on re-
turns from all but Ia precincts in
Multnomah county, complete returns
from Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop,
Hood River, Sherman and Wasco
counties, and more or less complete
returns from every other county in the
state.
On the Democratic count it seems
certain that Woodrow Wilson has re-
ceived the preference of the Oregon
voters for president and that Harry
Lane, of Portland, will be the Demo
cratic candidate for senator.
Returns from results on the Demo-
cratic ticket are meager, however.
and no estimate can be made of the
total vote cast, so that likewise esti-
mates of pluralities are impossible.
Returns received on the Republican
ticket supply total so far of 62,87l
votes for president. OF these Roose.
welt has 25.034; Taft, 1885; La
Toilette, 1851 The pluralities
shown in the partial returns are as
follows: Roosevelt over La Toilette,
5lS3; Roosevelt over Taft, 7044.

vireinian Extends Hone.

New York-A dispatch from st.
Johns received at 2:15 o'clock Tues
day morning gave rise to the hope
that the steamer Virginian has some
of the Titanic's survivors on board.
The message said she would bring to
st. Johns such survivors as she ''may
rescue" Hope arises from the fact
that the steamer is putting in there at
all, which she would scarcely do were
there not some necessity for this ac-
ton. She was bound for Liverpool.

aggregating something like $500, 000,-
