TITANIC HEEDED NOT
 CALL OF OTHER SHIPS
 FEARING COSTLY SAL WAGE

A despatch from Paris to The New York American declares that the Ti- tanic refused communication with ships not of her own line to avoid the gested would have amounted to $2.- 900, ,000. The despatch says:
 Paris, April 25-I am cabling to you the exact text of the report of the wireless operator on the French lin- CT La Provence to Captain Vesco, giving new and highly important evi- dence respecting the Titanic disaster.
 The French wireless operator reports that the German steamship Frank furt heard the Titanic's calls for help and responded to them, but was un- able to get answers from the Titanic enabling aid to be rendered in time.
 It seems the Titanic at first wish ed to keep in communication only with ships of her own company adds the French wireless operator.
 The captain of La Provence, in speak for itself, merely stating the facts, but officers of the Compagnic Generale Transaltantique infer that those on the Titanic did not at first realize that she was going down all most immediately and wished to avoid paying the heavy salvage, probably immediately and wished to avoid pay ing the heavy salvage, probably amounting to $2,O00,OO0, to a foreign steamship line. Hence the German Lloyd steamer Frankfurt was not an- swered when she first proffered as- siStance.
 I cable the exact text of La Prov ence's report in French. Captain Ves- co countersigned it, and 1t is 'likeWlse countersigned by the Government Commissioner. Monsieur Bernard, without whose consent it could not be cabled to The American.

 From there the body was taken via And street and the north river to West Point, the battery in Fort Jay, on Governors Island firing guns In salute. As soon as the religious ser vices were concluded the body was placed on a caisson and escorted by battery from the 18th infantry, was transferred to the steamer General Otis and taken across to South Fer ry.

 In his eulogy, Bishop Fallows refer red in touching terms to the heroism of the military forces of the nation which, he said, had been proven time and again He then referred to the death of Major Archibald Butt, who, he said, sacrificed his own life in or der that women and children might be given a chance of safety. This reference very visibly affected Presf- dent Taft, who was seated in a pew directly in front of the Bishop.

At 3:55 in the morning we heard the Frankfurt working with the Titanic and gave her position 39.47 N., $40 w., which would give about 150 miles of distance separating these two ships.
 'The Titanic continued her calls and managed to get in communica- tion with two other ships, the Virgin ian and the Cincinnati. About 4:50 in the morning we heard the Olympic, which sent the Titanic the following message:
 Latitude 4O32 N., Longitude CHS w.. I am lighting up all possible boilers as fast as I can-Haddock.
 Tt received this message from distance of nearly 1,20O miles.
 '"The Frankfurt, which was within a nearer range, made many calls to the Titanic, which were not replied to. It seems that the Titanic wished to keep in communication only with the ships of her company.
 At 5:10 a. m. we were in commun- ication with the Celtic. going west. We transmitted to it the telegrams from the Titanic and about 5:30 we heard Cape Race, which said to the virginian that the weather was quite fine and very clear, and that the Ti- tanic had put her boats in the sea,

 The practical question Is what are we going to do to get the juvenile court in Connecticut. It is not very difficult to draw up a bill. It would not be impossible to get the right kind of judges and probation officers de- voted to the cause The one thine going to take time is to convince the Legislature of the need for them; that things are not just as well as they are and that it is not some new way of spending the peoples money.

 Middletown, Conn.,, April 26-At to- days session of the Connecticut Con- gress of mothers report of the various committees were read and of the do- ings of the National Congress of Mothers in St. Louis. Among the pa pers read was one by Miss Susan c. O'Neill of Waterbury on Juvenile Courts for Connecticut" She said in part:
 The greatest and most effective hu- man agency or instrument yet evolved for the rescue, protection ana preser- yation of the child is the juvenile court.
 It is a puzzle to me to understand. perhaps many of us are puzzle headed-it may be a political puzzle why it should be necessary to spend any time insisting upon the need for Juvenile courts in our state, with crime increasing on every side and no one doubting 1t in any other state or in any other progressive country. From my own observation and exper- fence the establishment of proper ju- venile courts in this state is the one thing above all others. necessary to yanced and really admirable laws that have been already enacted for the benefit of the children.

and that the women had taken their places therein.
 La Provence, the Baltic, Cape Race, the Virginian, the Coronia, the Olympic and the Frankfurt all called the Titanic, but the transmissions tanic, however, remained in communi- cation with the Olympic only, and seemed to refuse every call from the other ships At 6:30, Greenwich time. the Baltic sent out the following wire less:
 Captain Smith, Titanic: The Bal- tic is coming: we are 2S4 miles east
 .'It is possible that the apparatus of transmission of the Titanic was out of order, although it's apparatus of receipt seemd to remain excellent all the time.
 At o'clock in the morning the night passed away and with it the far-off signals, which gradually be- came more feeble, and with it those cries of alarm sent out by the Ti- tanic which messages we were pow erless to reply to in the matter Of going to her aid.
 At 11:3O we began again to re- and it was with growing impatience that we waited for some good news which might assure us of the issue of the drama which was unfolding it. self in the distance.
 "Soon after having put in new powers we were able to receive a telegram from the Celtic saying that the Titanic had sunk and that 600 persons had been saved. Later still came another message which brought the information that the victims of the catastrophe would reach 1,So0 and that the first boats arriving near the scene of the disaster were the Car pathia and the Baltic.
 Tt is probable that if the Titanic had replied to the signals of the Frankfurt that vessel would have reached the sinking Titanic before those two ships"
