GIANT LINER 1|1AN1|c SINKS.
Many of Worlds Prominent
Men Among the 600 People
Who Perish as Steamship
Goes Down-The Greatest
Maritime Disaster in Worlds
History.

History.
New York, April 18-The Gun.
ard liner Carpathia, a ship of
gloom and succor, came into New
York tonight with survivors, di.
rect from the great White Star
liner Titantic, which sank off the
Grand Banks of New Foundland
early last Monday morning. The
great liner went down with her
band playing. taking with her to
death all but 745 of her human
cargo of 2,340 souls.
To this awful death list. six
persons were added, One died
in the life boat when it put off
from the liners side, and five
subsequently succumbed on the
rescue ship Carpathla. The list
of prominent men missing stands
as previously reported. and the
total death list as brought to port
tonight by the Carpathia is l..
6O1.
Survivors in the life boats hud-
died in the darkness at q safe
distance from the stricken ship
and saw her 20 down. As to the
scene on board when the liner
struck, accounts disagree widely.
Some maintain that a compare.
tive calm prevailed; others say
that wild disorder broke out, and
that there was q maniacal strug.
gle for the life boats. That the
liner struck an iceberg. as re-
ported by wireless, was con-
firmed by all.
Sensational rumors, told by
hysterical passengers. who would
not give their names, said that
Capt. Smith had killed himself
on the bridge; that the chief en-
gineer had taken his life and that
three Italians were shot in the
struggle for the boats. These
rumors could not be confirmed
in the early confusion attendant
on the landing Of the survivors.
Ripped from steru to engine
room by the great mass of ice,
the Titantic's side was lard open
as il by . gigantic can opener.
She quickly listed to starboard
and . shower of ice fell ooto the
t0recastle deck. Shortly before
she sank she broke in two abaft
the engine room, and as she dis
appeared beneath the water the
expulsion of air caused two ex'
blossoms, which we're plainl!
heard by the survivors adrift. 4
moment more aud the Mtanti'
had gone to her doom with tn
fated hundreds grouped on tn
after deck.

MAY NOT BUILD
LEAD REFINERY.
Copper Works Likely to
Abandon PIan--Reason Given

Freight conditions may cause the
proposed lead refining addition to
the Rarftan Copper Works plant in
this city to be located in the western
part Of the country. Officials of the
works have practically decided that
it viii be to their advantage to have
the refinery situated In the west be-
cause of shipping conditions.
Perth Amboy's excellent shipping
facilities have been under considera-
ton, but the question at issue is
distances that must be covered be-
tween mine and refinery and parIs
to where the finished product is
made. The advantage to be derived
by having the proposed lead depart
ment connected with the local plant
has also been under consideration.
but freight conditions win in all
probability cause the department to
be located In the west, although def
mite arrangements to that end have
not been made as yet.

HAS FUN WITH
MANY TONGUES
Prof. Christen to Give His
Interesting Lecture Here.

One of the most Interesting lee
lures 10 be given in this city this
season will be delivered by Pref. A.
Christen in the new high school au-
ditorium next Tuesday night HIS
subject will be From Babel to Es-
peranto,s the discourse being n
of the most instructive as well as
amusing descriptions Of the lam
auages of the world that has even
been presented. The lecture Is free
the public is cordially invited.
Prof. Christen Is the author OF
1.-THE Teaching of Modern Lam
guages.,' and 1.-THE Wade Mecum OF
French Pronunciation and is ac-
knowledged by all who have come
under his tuition to be a born I'm
Iguist and teacher. After a success
full career as Professor OF Moder
Languages at Aberdeen, Scotland,
he forsook his vocation to atone for
a misspent life by l~ecturing the
world at large on the futility OF all
attempts at teaching languages ar
tticially: the subject Is too cornplf-
Gated, the number of present-day
world languages too great, our
school program too crowded, life too
short.
Instead, let every child of ciyfIl-
cation confine It's attention to its
mother tongue, for consumption at
home, and learn an easy and neutral
syntesis of European languages lfke
Esperanto, for ali the international
uses of commerce, science, travel
and fraternity.
Acting on this principle Professor
Christen has lectured for three years
his ~fayorite gospel throughout
England, Scotland and Wales, and
the last two years In this
country. Although he does not call
himself a propaganda. but a pub
lie entertainer, Professor Christen
Is now one of the foremost apostles
of Esperanto in the world, and the
only lecturer on the American plat
form capable of interesting, enter
tanning and amusing a popular audi
with a lesson in language.
OF this he possesses ample evil
ienee In the shape of enthusiastic
testimonials from educators, public
and statesmen In Europe and
America.
He has the rare honor to lecture
oefora the Chamber OF Commerce OF
England as we'll as In
of the leading universities
and societies of three European
countries.
Since starting his tour In Ameri-
ia, Professor Ehristen has spoken
before the University OF Pennsyl-
sanfa, the University Of Pittsburgh
ind other institutions Of learning.
de has Just been giving a curse OF
