TO MEET THE RESCUED.
President May Dispatch Newspaper
Reporters to the Carpathia.

Washington, April 16.-President
Taft has tentatively decided to dis
patch two revenue cutters from New
York to Sandy Hook to met the Car
pathia and act as an escort into the
harbor.
The question will be definitely de-
termined at a conference tomorrow
between the President and Secretary
MacVeagh. of the Treasury Depart
ment. If conveys are sent out, they
will be the cutters Seneca and Mo-
hawk, now at New York
In order that a waiting world
might receive the earliest possible in
formation regarding the tragedy,
Secretary MacVeagh indicated his
willingness to consider the question
of sending the revenue cutter Ores
ham, with newspaper correspondents
aboard, from Boston to meet the Car
pathia, provided the Cunard Line was
willing to allow them aboard. This
question was held in allegiance, how
ever, by advice from Deputy Collec-
tor of Customs Stewart, at New
York, stating that the steamship line
would not grant the privilege.

Statement From Washington.

Washington, D. c., April 16.-The
Treasury Department, through the
Customs officials. has given orders to
expedite the landing of the survivors
of the Titanic and to aid them in ev-
cry way possible upon the arrival of
the Carpathia. Custom regulations
have been suspended and the Gus
toms officers will aid the survivors in
finding relatives and friends. Vice
President Franklin said late this af-
ternoon that his list of survivors
showed that 202 out of the 325 first
cabin passengers and ia out of 285
second cabin passengers of the wreck
ed liner had been accounted for.
New York, April 16.-"We are
waiting for a complete list of the
names of the survivors and until this
is received, we can give no definite
information.
This was the only answer that
could be given to-day at the White
sands of anxious persons who gather
ed there seeking information regard
ing relatives and friends who are
among the victims of the Titanic dis
aster. From early morning until
late tonight pathetic scenes were
witnessed in lower Broadway and in
Bowling Green Park, opposite the
steamship Offices. Hundreds of anx-
ious inquiries we're received also by
long distance telephone.
Multitudes remained in the vicin-
ity OF Bowling Green throughout the
loved ones were included among the
it is too early to get reports from
survivors on board the Carpathia,
which is now speeding to New York
with the passengers who were res
cued from the 1ife-boats after the tt
tantic sank.
Clerks in the White Star offices
were kept busy informing those seek
ing news that no information had
been received from the Carpathia or
the Olympic. The incomplete list of
survivors was posted at the entrance
of the White Star Offices. Those who
failed to find the names of their kin
or friends in this list could only hope
that whe nthe complete roster of the
rescued was received it would bring
| welcome news.
When word reached the scores Of
men and women crowded into the
narrow corridors of the Offices that
Vice-President Franklin Of the In
ternational Marine Company had an
nounced that he was confident that
the Virginian and the Partisan Of the
Allan Line had none of the Titanic s
passengers on board an atmosphere
of deep depression prevailed.
Newspaper men were besieged by
the anxious inquiries who could not
believe that the White Star officials
we're giving out all news of the dis
aster.
Vice-President Franklin was lock-
ed i'll his private Office throughout the
day and few persons were permitted
TO see him.
Mrs. Benjamin Guggenheim, wife
| of the first visitors in the forenoon.
When informed that no word had
been received of he rhusband, she be-
came hysterical. Isn't there some
thing that can be done?" she plead
ed. Cant you send steamships out
to search for life-boats which may yet
| be afloat?"
She was told that every steamship
within the zone of wireless had been
requested to give assistance. After
she had been assured that she would
be notified by telephone as soon as
any word came from the Carpathia
or the Olympic, Mrs. Guggenheim was
assisted to automobile and re-
turned to her hotel

The titantic was a four-funneled
boat, the great stacks rising a frac-

deck. while the distance from the top
of the tunnels to the lower deck was
IT'S feet. The passenger accommo-

geous of any ship ever built. There
were many innovations for travellers.
Those who could afford it might have
a private promenade deck for them
selves These latter were in connec-
ton with some of the finest suites,
and the Titanic was the first vessel
to offer this additional luxury.
The Partisan cafe and the palm
room were other features. In the
main dining-room 500 passengers, the

could dine in comfort at the same
