Wireless messages bombarded the Carpathia all last
night and this morning. but with little result. Even
message from President Taft asking for news of his
aid Maj Butt, remained unanswered and the indica-
tons hat no details of the disaster will be known
until the Carpathia reaches port.
Judging from the nature of the few messages re-
ceived from the survivors aboard the Carpatha the
inference that of them of the awful
tragedy that took place aboard the Titanic after she
was abandoned

Many wives are ignorant that their husbands have

similar to that of the Carpathia.
In New York all preparations have been made to
receive the survivors when they land. Food clothing

been provided The police protection will be ample

PASSENGERS DEMAND
THE SOUTHERN ROUTE
Delegation of Those Booked
on Adriatic Makes Request
of Line Officials.

] LONDON, April IA deputation OF
passengers booked to sail on the White
Star liner Adriatic today has lodged with
the White Star Company two-fold re-
quest-that the Adriatic take the south
ern route. and that the vessel be COM
PEELED to carry sufficient lifeboats to ac-
commodate all the passengers and crew.
The deputation included the Rev. Henry
Brundage Of Washington. William ].
Smith Of New York. ]. B. Corey Of Pitts
burgh and Charles Wright Of Detroit.
The insufficiency of the lifeboats car
ried by the Titanic has brought the
ridiculously antiquated regulations Of the
board of trade into the limelight. AS one
paper says:
Fulfilled the Rules,
Doubtless the White Star line will
be blamed for not carrying more boats.
but as matter of fact they have done
no worse. II not better. than any other
line. They fulfilled the rules of the
board Of trade. and having done so, and
having a firm belief that the Titanic was
practically unsinkable, their conscience
was at rest.
IF there be blame let it be shared by
every other company which has only by
sheer luck escaped similar disaster, but
let the main burden rest on the shoulders
of the government department, which has
not troubled its head for years to inquire
whether the safety of the passengers and
crews on board the big liners was being
properly looked after. That is the sort
Of Grass stupidity for which we pay our
government departments their tens Of
thousands yearly.
''Of course, now there will be change
We know now that no ship is unsink-
able. and therefore due provision must
be made lest she do, indeed, sink in
midocean. We shall be very wise after
the event, and ofi1ciaidom may even go so
far as to drop its ridiculous tonne ge
scheme and demand that for every living
soul carried on a vessel there shall be a
place In one of the lifeboats."
Sir L. L. Johnston strongly advocates
the adoption by transatlantic steamers of
the more southerly route
THE only reason" he says, why the
more southern and much safer. and pleas
anter route is not followed Is due to the
insensate avarice In time which most
people display in their arrangements for
crossing the Atlantic. They may by the
more northerly route save one day or
two days, but we now know at what
risk. Moreover, in my own experience
the supposed rapid passage has been at
least once annulled by delays due to the
Newfoundland fogs."
