Survivors Suffer

New York, April 15.-Eyen the survivors of the Titanic disaster have gone through hardships of exposure and peril which
 may have left many of them in a serious condition. A dispatch given out at the White Star office late tonight said that those rescued by the Carpathia were picked up from a small fleet" of life boats at 10:3O o'clock Monday morning. It was eight hours before that that the Titanic is reported to have gone to the bottom.
 In the opinion of Vice President Frank lin the Carpathia will hasten with all possible speed to make this port. that those survivors suffering words from exposure may obtain medical attention. The dispatch accounted for 615 survivors on the Carpathia.

Points of Resemblance

From the Memphis News-Scimitar.
 A woman entered Cossit Library the other day and solicited the assistance of lean desk clerk.
 q am searching for a book called The Dentnst's Inhrmary,' she said. "The president of our literary club told me to get it."
 The Dentists Infirmary?' repeated the clerk with rising infection, vainly trying to associate such a book with such a study class.
 Yes" replied the woman, its all about devils and angels and such like"
 The light of understanding dawned on the puzzled face of the clerk.

LONDON HEARS THAT
 MANY WERE SAVED. Exciting Scenes Witnessed
 at LIoyds Yesterday RUSH TO REINSURE Unparalleled Series of Disasters to 
RUSH TO REINSURE
Unparalleled Series of Disasters to Giant Liners in Past Few Months Causes Uneasiness-Titanic
 Insured for Five Million

London. April 1G.-A dispatch from Liv- erpool says White star officials have re- ceived information from the Olympic that many of the passengers and crew of Titanic were saved. This is the only news that has not come direct from New York as far as known here.
 Most of the London newspapers went to press this morning believing the Ti- tanic had been saved and writing under this impression, call attention to the ab- sence of any dry dock on the American seaboard large enough to accommodate such vessel and also to the coincidence of accidents happening to the sister ships, Olympic and Titanic.
 Exciting Scenes l Exciting scenes were witnessed at Lloyds yesterday. Insurance losses in the last six months have been unparallel- cd in the history of Lloyds in liners of the biggest class. Since the Olympic collision both the Delhi and Oceana have been wrecked and now comes the dis aster to the Titanic. When business 1 opened there was rush to relnsure. Fifty guineas per cent was charged and this rapidly rose to 60, but later dropped to 25 on news that the Titanic was being lowed to Halifax.
 It is understood there was no specie aboard the liner but large insurances had been written on diamonds and other valuables in her cargo.
 Up to 3:S0 o'clock this morning the White Star officials at Liverpool had no further news concerning the Titanic. Brief wireless messages from Cape Race have been received but they are iden- tica with those from New York
 Practically all of the Titanic's crew be- long in Southampton, where the greatest anxiety prevails as to their fate.
 Interviews With Experts
 Interviews are published here with ex- perts relative to the possible cause of the disaster. Considerable attention is called to the question as to whether it was possible that suction could have had anything to do with it, and it is pointed out that this question came up in the inquiry into the Olympic Hawk col- lision. It is considered by some not im- possible that the effects of suction near
  an iceberg might be to draw the vessel out of her course.
 Sin Ernest H. Shackelton points that the scene of the Titanic disaster was Ii miles off the supposed possible range of ice fields.
 Sir William White, the famous naval constructor, considers that there can be no question of suction in the case of the Titanic because suction, he says depends upOn rela five speadu and an foahar~. ;s ,t most stationary. He thinks the Titanic simply struck an iceberg
 In addition to a valuable shipment of diamonds aboard the Titanic, it is said that among almost priceless jewels car ried by the passengers are pearls belong ing to an American woman valued at $6000O0.
 It is stated that the owners were un- able to insure the Titanic to the full amount because the British and European markets were not big enough to swallow the sum.

Are Many Discrepancies

The above list was received by wire less at Cape Race station from the steamer Carpathia. In spelling end initials it does not correspond with the list as cabled from London today.
 Mistakes were due to the hurried wireless transmission and relays. In one instance a Mrs. L. Y. B. Harris is named in the wireless list but on the passenger list as announced here there was only Mrs. Henry B. Harris, and there were a number of similar dis crepa ncies.

Pray for Passengers

New York, April 16.-Prayers for the safety of the passengers aooard the Ti- tanic were said today at the afternoon conference of the men and religion for. ward movement in this city William T. Stead, the journalist, and the Rev. J. Seward Holden of London. who were among the Titanics passengers, were on their way here to make addresses be- fore the conference.

Women Go Into Mysteries


 There were many instances of fash- ionably gowned women going into hys- terics when the hopeful reports of the afternoon were blasted with the news that probably only 675 persons had been saved.
 Vincent Astor, only son of Col John Jacob Astor, accompanied by A. J. Bid- dle of Philadelphia, and Colonel As- tors secretary, were among the crowd ot the offices and left with tears in their eyes after 15-minutes' confer ence with Vice President Franklin. Rel atives of other prominent passengers had similar conferences with Mr. Franklin and came away dejected.
 Police reserves had to be called to several sections of the city tonight to control crowds gathered around news paper bulletin boards for news of the Titanic. The disaster stunned the gay Broadway district as perhaps no dis aster ever had so completely before for many of those who poured out of the theatres had friends on the steamer. The newspaper disaster was crowded until after midnight.
 Interference on the part of the ama- teur wireless operators made it difficult for the stations here to get the list of names being sent out by the Carpathia correctly. In several instances the names picked up have no counterpart in the list of passengers as given out by the White Star line officials and in other cases the operators were not able to get the full names.

FIRST NEWS OF DISASTER RECEIVED
 FROM CAPE RACE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE n

| ~~~~~~~-~~~~-~-~-~~~>~
 The White Star line offices had en- deavored vainly from o'clock up till Il D. m to get further word from
 the Olympic about the Titanic. Vice President Franklin said at II o'clock they were still hopeful of getting an other message tonight
 The company also was trying to get Into wireless communication with the Carpathia and filed messages asking that if possible the complete list of the names of the 675 survivors said to he cn board the Carpathia be sent by wire less
 Such a list Vice President Franklin believes to be of the utmost import ance, IS hope was waning among the White Star line officials tonight that any others than these 675 persons had survived.
 Study Situation
 Amidst confusion at the offices the situation was studied as calmly as pos sble. Mr Franklin figured that the Virginian and Parisian could hardly have reached the scene of disaster in time to be of assistance. When the Vir- ginian first reported catching the e. D. O." signals he said she was not likely to be able to reach the Titanic before 10 a. m today. That would have been nearly eight hours after the Titanic sank. It was equally doubtful that the Partisan could have reached he scene in time.
 l MT. Franklin said that from his | Knowledge of Captain Smiths gallantry and heroism on other occasions, the veteran navigator must have stuck 10
 his bridge and gone done to his death. | There was discussion as to whether
 all of the male passengers had sac
 riiced opportunity to save themselves | by giving women and children the first
 chance at the boats.
 1 There is no rule of the sea-" said
 Mir. Franklin, which requires such a
 sacrifice. It is rule of courtesy on 1 land as wei as sea that gallant men
 have often observed in time of dis
 aster
 The White Star line officers figured | from their data that the Olympic was 10 miles from the scene of the Titanic S sinking when she sent the news of il
 at clock tonight. At that hour the tCarpathia was estimated to be 10SO
 miles east of Sandy Hook.
