Relatives.

Boston, April 17.-Hurrying to Now
York with the only known survivors Of
the Titanic the steamship Carpathia to-
day came within the wireless zone of
nearly a score of stations alon the New
England coast Operators at all these
points have been listening eagerly for
two days TO learn something Of the story
which the survivors on the Cunarder are
bringing OF their experiences.
Atmospheric conditions during the day
we're good but as the Carpathia more
closely approached the coast, and en-
deavored to reach shore stations directly.
instead Of by relays. amateur wireless
operators combined with the elements to
prevent effective work. Sasconsett sta
ton on Nantucket island. with which the
Carpatha came into direct communica-
ton late in the day, reported Tonight that
the activity of the amateurs was seriously
interfering with an exchange OF messages
with the Carpath!a. and further that the
large amount of static electricity in the
air was also hirdrance. northeast
storm was In progress in the immediate
vicinity OF the Carpathia.
The wireless operators, and the opera
tors at commercial and private stations
whose activities were interfering with the
conversation between the Carpathia and
the S,asconsett station. were asked 70
stand by meaning to stop sending In

TO send messages so urgently sought on
many sides But although the amateurs
were told by the Carpathia operator that
unless the messages were disposed OF
soon, the Carpathia would be out OF range

ence continued.
Meantime the scout cruiser Chester was
sending to her sister ship. the Salem. a

Toward midnight wireless conditions be-
came better and the Siasconsett station
made efforts to pick up the Carpatha hut
without success.
In order to assist the Siasconsett sta
! ton in getting into communication the
navy department ordered all naval sta
tons and all vessels of the department &c

VICTIMS BODIES
WILL NEVER RISE
Taken Two Miles below Surface
of Sea Where Pressure Is
Tremendous.

Baltimore, April 1.-THE bodies of the
victims of the Titanic disaster are at the
bottom Of the deep never to leave it," de-
c'drcd Prof Robert W. Wood of the chair
OF experimental physics OF Johns Hopkins
University to-day.
1t is altogether improbable that any
face of the water. as is the case with
bodies drowned in shallow water
AT the depth of two miles the pressure
Of the water is something like six thou
sand pounds to the square inch, which Is
far too great to overcome tho buoyancy
ordinarily given drowned bodies hv the
eases that are generated In time.
THAT the bodies sank to the bottom
of tho sea. there is no question: he con-
tinucd. "TAc Titanic's victims who were
not carried down with the boat followed
until tho very bottom OF the sea was
reached There was no such thing as
their stopping in their downward course
ha'f-ril il". . mile or at any other point.
Great changes have necessarily been
wrought III the vessel itself by the enor-
nous rr.ssur" to which ii has been sub
iccted. No effect was produced on any
portion. or compartment, or room to
whose inside as we'll as outside walls

But wherever there was an air light
or water tight compartment The 500
pounds TO square inch of pressure of
water had crumpled those walls of the
vessel as if they were tissue paper"

Communication was being had with
the Carpatha tonight through both
the scout cruiser Chester and the shore
wireless station at Siasconsett.
Through the Chester there began
coming slowly the names of saved
passengers from the third cabin Of the
Titanic.
The very sending of these could but
help confirm the fateful belief that there
were no more names of first and second
cabin passengers to send, And thus there
was left hardly a possibility that the
names of wcliknown men such as John
jacob Astor VIM. T. Sread Isidor
Strdus. Charles NJ. Hays and the others
of the now familiar list of notables could
names from the Carpathia. That these
men had gone down with the ship there
remained hardly a doubt. Authorities on

MOSTLY PRIVATE MESSAGES.
| During the early evening the wireless
communication Of the Carpathia with

messages of reinsurance from passengers

TAFT APPOINTMENTS
NOT CONFIRMED
Fight over Presidents Appointments
starts on Floor Of senate-Execu
tive Session Fails.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The long
threatened fight in the senate over
confirmation of President Taft's nom
nations for Office broke on the floor
of the senate today and in the first
skirmish the democrats were success
full in preventing an executive ses-
sion demanded by Senator Cullom
(republicanl The results of the en-
counter were uncertain tonight but
the republicans threaten to continue
efforts tomorrow to secure an execu-
tive session for action on the scores
of appointments now pending
A democratic caucus early in the
day, in which the democrats agreed
to permit the confirmation only OF
army and navy appointments paved
the way for the fight on the floor. In
the midst of a speech by Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia. Senator Gull
lom, representing the republican
forces, who refused to accept the ul-
timatum fthe democrats, made de-
mand for an executive session. The
democrats flibustered against the mo-
ton, rushing out into the cloak rooms
on the roll call to break a quorum and
succeeded in delaying action until the
court of impeachment convened for
the Archibald trial Republican lead
ers said tonight they would continue
to demand that all appointments be
treated in executive session on their
merits.

publicans put us in a corner without

The president has dumped upon us
