While the answer of the railroads to
the letter of Messrs. Neil and Knapp
did not definitely accept mediation, the
opinion was expressed by the engineers
that in the end this would be the re-
suit. Commissioner Neill in an inter

opinion was expressed that the possihil

imminent, is increasingly remote.

TOO EAGER TO PAY TRIBUTE.
Crowd of 10000 People Prevented Isidor
Straus Memorial.

New York, April 24-The vast out
pouring of residents of the East Side,
who wished to pay tribute to isidor
Straus, victim with his wife of the
Titanic disaster, defeated the purpose
for which the thousands had assembled
when il became necessary TO postpone
a lecture Oh his career arranged for
last night
Forty thousand people, according to
the police estimate, crowded into the
street surrounding the Educational AL
lance building in East Broadway, where
the meeting was scheduled to be held.
So great was the crush that the police
dared not allow the doors to be opened
for fear hundreds would be trampled
in the rush into the hall.
The crowds began gathering by three
o'clock in the afternoon and by even
ing had grown to such dimensions that
the police on guard were swept off
their feet II was necessary to call out
the reserves from three precincts to dis
perse the crowd, after it had been decid
ed to postpone the meeting indefinite

While the crush was at its worst,
railing guarding an areaway in front
of the building broke and near panic
resulted when the report spread that
many persons had been swept into the
area and injured Ambulances were sum
moned but doctors found little to do.

LENA 80 MILES OFF.
Was Not Equipped With Wireless and
Didn't Know Of Disaster.

Portland, Me-, April 24.-Testimony
brought out at Washington that a steam
er, not equipped with wireless, was
within five miles of the Inflated steam-
ship Titanic when she sank, prompted
an inquiry yesterday into the position
of the freight steamer Lena, which ar
rived Saturday from Fowey.
Chief Officer Elias stated the Lena was
80 miles from the Titanic when the liner
went down, but the Lena's officers did
not know of the wreck until they took
on board a pilot here.
Three vessels passed the Lena on the
fateful Sunday. The first was the light
tramp steamer Kelvin Dale, which hove
in sight at p. m. and passed the Lena
three hours later, bound west. About
p. m. passenger ship, which appeared
to have four masts, passed the Lena,
and during the evening ship, believed
to have been freighter, also passed her.
Had the Lena been equipped with wire
less, she could have reached the scene IN
time to have saved many lives before the
Carpathia arrived. Mr. Elias said Sun
day night was the finest they had during
the entire passage of II days.

succeeded in saving the Northfeld house.
where flames broke out at 1880 o'clock,
but not until damage to the amount
Of $1,000 had been done. The greater
part of the damage by fire was in the
upper part Of the four-story structure,
The flames having started on the upper
floor, apparently in a linen closet. There
was barrel of rubbish in the closet,
Il is said, and the fire may have started
in the rubbish The flames were shoot
ing out of the windows on the fourth
floor when noticed and had made con-
siderable headway. A large quantity OF
water was thrown into the structure
and much of the damage was done by
water, rather than by fire. Frank A..
Sanderson is proprietor Of the hotel.
