burlington, April IA rear end col
lision of the Burlington and White River
junction freight train and the work
train on the Central Vermont railway
near Fort Ethan Allen blocked the track
from o'clock yesterday afternoon I'M
til nearly midnight The accident it

brakes soon enough before it crashed
into the work train. smashing the
caboose and throwing the freight en-
CINE off the track. Two cars were also
thrown off and two rails torn from
the ties. The engine was damaged to
some extent, as was also the car next

gun. The passengers going from or COM

CLAMORING FOR NEWS.
Sable Island Has Taken on Great Impor-
tance by Reason of the Wreck.

Halifax, n. s., April l7.--Sable island,
so long the terror of trans Atlantic sea-
men, is through the agency of the wire
less the storm center of great battle
for news of the missing passengers and
crew of the Titanic. The wireless sta
tion on the lonely sand-driven island,
planted in the Atlantic 100 miles south
east of Halifax, is maintained by the
Canadian government and is one of the
most important of the chain of wireless
outposts on the Canadian coast. II has
made the island, known as the graveyard
of the Atlantic, the radiating center of
the news which comes and goes between
the passing liners and the shore.
The wireless equipment is powerful,
with range of 800 miles, and the bust
ness handled runs up to twelve or fif-
teen thousand messages a year.
The wireless operators at Sable island
are overwhelmed with messages which
have come from all quarters, from rela-
tives or passengers craving for news, and
the strenuous life the wireless men have
lived during the past as hours will not be
relieved until the Carpathis gives up
her story.

vices here last night. The message as
given reads:

CARRIED ONLY 20 BOATS
Which Was Enough to Accommodate
Only Part Of Titanie's Passengers.

London, April l7.-In response to a
telegram of inquiry as to the number
OF boats carried by the Titanic and how
many people they would accommodate,
the White Star company at Liverpool
sends the following message:
1.-The Titanic had 20 boats, which is in
excess of the official requirements,
The list of the number of boats car
ried by steamers has been widely dis
cussed 1t appears that the Board of
Trade regulations permit a reduction
by half in the number of boats, RATS
and buoyant apparatus carried when the
ship is provided with water tight COM
partments, but this concession does not
apply to life jackets and similar appli-
ances.
According to some experts ii would be
an impossibility to carry sufficient
number OF boats TO accommodate all on
board the mammoth liners, or if car
ried that it would be next to impos-
sibIe to man and provision them. 1t can
not be doubted, however, that the dis
aster will lead to a strict inquiry by
the Board of Trade into this matter,
and a revision of the regulations
This question has already been for
some time under discussion by the adj
visory committee, composed OF prominent
ship owners, and the Board of Trade
committee, and certain recommendations
had been prepared, which have not yet
been made public.
The Titanic was fitted with electrical
~ controlled water tight compartments.
Therefore these should have been i'm
mediateIy closed from the bridge un-
less. as surmised, the collision so dam
aged the electrical apparatus as to rem
der this impossible, or the vessels side
was torn away by an iceberg.
The Board of Trade regulations re-
guire that a vessel of 10000 tons shall
carry minimum of 10 boats. There
are no regulations applying to vessels of
greater tonnage. but another rule pro-
vides that where boats do not furnish
accommodation for all passengers on the
steamer, additional wood or metal col
lapsible boats or liferafts shall be car
RED, The regulations require that the
capacity of the boats shall be $500 cubic
feet. The Titanc's boats had ca
pacity of 1872 cubic feet each. Thus
she had nearly double the accommoda-

1t is stated in Belfast that the Ii
tanie carried IA lifeboats each accom-,
nodating 60 persons, two cutters and
a number of collapsible boats or RATS.
Insurance Companies Hard Hit.
The sinking of the Titanic, following
so closely the wreck of the Delhi, Oceana
and other big vessels has caused con-
sternation among the marine underwrit
ers. 1t will be long before the full eff
feet in assurances of various kinds at
Lloyds is known, and many underwrit-
ers and syndicates may be hard hit.
Several insurance men, questioned on
the subject, declined to commit them
selves to any definite opinion, but seemed
to think that there would be move
ment in the direction of higher rates Of
Insurance. Asked whether this would
prove setback to the building of huge
vessels. one member of Lloyds said that
it depended on the nature of the details
OF the disaster given by the survivors.

line officials think the steamer Carpa-
thia will arrive here about 8 o'clock to-
morrow night, She is now 5s6 miles
east of Ambrose channel and will reach
New York harbor at midnight. "All
we'll" said an unsigned message from
the Carpathia.
A dispatch from London said the
names of both Mr. and Mrs. Jacques
Futrelle Of Scituate, Mass, the former
an author, were among the list OF sur
yfyors. The names OF other prominent
people are still missing. A throng IS
gathered around the White Star Office,
awaiting further news.
Henry w. Taft, brother of the presi-
dent. called at the White Star offices,
seeking news of Major Archibald Butt,
aide to President Taft; Carl Behr, the
tennis player; and Frank D. Millet, the
artist. He learned nothing, however.
Investigation was made to-day of the
report which was current yesterday that
Charles NJ Hays, president OF the Grand
Trunk railroad, was among the survivors.
The name of President Hays does not
appear among the survivors. Mrs. Hays
and daughter, Margaret, are reported to
be aboard the Carpathia.
