TITANTIC FOUNDERS.
BUT 900 YET HEARD FROM
Greatest Disaster in Maritime
History-Barely Possible that
Extent will be Diminished by
Further News, Though Thread
of Hope is Slight Survivors
Mostly Women and Children.

New York, April 15-The Olympic
dispatch follows:
"Carpathia reached the Titanic po-
sition at daybreak.
Found boats and wreckage only.
Titanic sank about 2:20 a. m. in41.16
north; 50.14 west. All her boats &C
counted for, containing about 675
souls saved, crew and passengers in
cluded. Nearly all saved women and
children. Leland liner California re-
NAMED and searching exact position
of disaster. Loss likely total 1900
souls"
1t is believed here. that this is an
error unless the Titanic had more
passengers on board than reported.
Later dispatches from messages
from the Carpathia, received at Bos-
ton. stated that the Cunarder had S66
survivors aboard.
The passenger list as given out
shows 1910 passengers and a crew
of $50 or 2,170 in all. Deducting S66,
the known saved, the indicated loss of
life would be 1,104.
While the fate of the majority of
2,1O0 persons on board the mammoth
White Star Liner Titanic, which sank
early yesterday on the Newfoundland
banks after a collision with an ice
berg. still remains in doubt, and it is
feared more than 1000 persons were
lost, a note of good cheer came from
the ocean waves by wireless between
1 and 2 o'clock this morning.
1t was in the shape Of a wireless
message from the White Star liner
Olympic, one of the vessels lowering
near the scene of the disaster, flash
ing the news that S66 Of the Titanic S
passengers, mostly women and chill
dren, were being brought to port by
the Cunarder Carpathia. Other mes
sages later brought confirmatory It'd
ings.
First reports were that the Tar
pathia had saved but CTS persons.
The new figures reduced the list of
those for whose fate fear was felt
by nearly 200, and if, as seems prob
able, practically all those saved were
passengers, it would appear that all
but approximately $50 of the vessels
passengers are accounted for.
A partial list of the survivors re-
ceived from the Carpathia included
the names of many women Of prom
inence who were on the steamer.
Veil of Silence
After the first desperate calls OF the
Titanic for help had been sent flying
through space and brought steamers

tragedy enacted in her decks. In the

was freighted there could be hope OF

Wireless at Work
Along the entire Atlantic coast wire
less instruments were turned to eaten
from any source the slightest whis-
per of hope that might come from one
of the many steamships which rushed
to the rescue of the stricken Titan of
the seas. But from none Of the ships
reported to be near the scene of what,
viewed in the light Of probabilities,
may be recorded as the worlds great
est marine horror, came the slightest
syllable of encouragement to the anX-
ious waiting world.
Early last night there was hope that
any moment might bring word OF
cheer. But anxiety deepened and
many friends and relatives of those
who sailed on the Titanic began to de-
spair as hour after hour passed and
the night grew old without word from
either of the Allan liners, Partisan or
Virginian, believed to be with the
exception of the Carpathia, the yes
sells nearest the Titanic's ocean burial
place when she made her plunge.
AS the Titanic sank before o'clock
in the morning and it was not hoped
that the Virginian could reach the
scene before 10 a. m. at the earliest,
while the Partisan was said to be
some distance further away, it was
feared even by the White Star offici-
ais trying their best to calculate diff
ferently and yet accurately, that they
would not have reached the scene in
time to be of service.
The steamer Virginian was finally
heard from at 2:15 o'clock this morn
ing. She did not report the presence
of any survivors on board, the mes
! sage from her stating that she would

The Pccos Record takes n
high plane when il takes the
stand that there should not BE-
any double standard for the sex
es, and 1t is right. There are a
few sickly argument that try
to establish mans right to dip
into sin and come out without
stain, bnt he can't. The Judge
ment of society at large will al
low him to lead any kind of life
during his youth or even his
maturity and take him back as a
respectable gentleman. His
sin is forgotten and he is com.
plimented for leading a better
life. But a poor woman cannot
do this, and it is a great bless
ing to society that she cannot.
And it would be wonderful
pleasing TO society if men were
not allowed to step aside from
virtues path and then be re
ceived again. Although such a
man is recognized by people at
large TO be about as good as any
body else yet the happiness of
many n home is irrctrievably de
strOyed because pure woman
cam forget the fact that she is
living with a man who is not
clean, and who has tlinted his
life and that Of his family.
The poor woman carries a life
long pain in her heart, and while
she bears it in silen -, she is
nevertheless robbed OF the real
joys Of married life The Pecos
Record draws a strong antithe-
sis in these few words:
With all our boasted twentieth
century century civilization ira
ces of animal cruelty are seen in
men and women today. Let q
a woman fall from virtue and all
her sisters will turn and tear
her to pieces, kick her deeper
into her shame, but turn and
smile on the vile wretch who
ruined her, Shame on such a
social condition! Love and sym
patty should be for the fallen
sister and helping hand to
raise again. That was Christ's
way. But to the unrepentant
scoundrel who blighted her life,
should be the disrespect and the
social Ostracism until he is able
to make right as nearly as posi-

One bright October morning.
When the sun WAS shining overhead
A little tot Of eight took up the weary

Att whose foot ripling stream ran
singing past.

When the time came to recite she
knew shem very we'll.

When spring came forth with all

She gathered wild flowers in the

A pleasure sought at noon.
And she enjoyed this privilege as any
grateful child should
Her teachers each learned to love,
1t was gift souhgh from above.
Hope and ambition filed her life.
For success she daily strived.
Many trials and sorrows she en-
dured.
Many yerrs she climbed the rugged
heights,
Until success WAS matured.
Her heart was made sad many times
BY the slurs Of others tongues,
Yet she never thought evil Of them,
Aad forgave them every one.
Her play ground wildly che calls to
mind.
Where she played ball and jumped
the old grape vine;
The places whore she sat.
Her last one most especially does
she remember,
1t was u desk she dearly loved,
Placed near y sonth window.
Her school mates each are scattered
Some live in sunny chimes.
Some sleep in "the silent city OF the

While for others the wedding bells

With walls 80 bare;
The pleasantest moments she ever
spent,
She spent them all there.

Fort Worth, Texas, May, 20
Mr.. E. =. Ripley, president of
the Santa Fe system, appeared
before the Welfare Commission
in this city Tuesday and gave
his views on the railroad situa-
ton of Texas from practical
stondpoint.
In a plain, straightforward
manner and with frankness
peculiarly his own. the noted
railroad man pointed out the
difficulties that confront the
growth and progress of the rail
road industry in Texas.
Mr.. Ripley contended that
railroads should be permitted to
issue all the securities they could
sell at par; that railroad invest
ments were not bringing a fair
return; that the tax value was
greater than the earning value;
that personal injury and dam
age payments in Texas were in
excess of those Of other states
and suggested that at least one
railroad commissioner should be
practical railroad man.
The next session Of the Wei
fare Commission will be held at
San Antonio on Monday, June
10th, and those who desire to de-
fend the present laws as related
to railroads are urgently invited
to be present, as the commission
is anxious to hear all sides of the
subject.

Readers Of The Enterprise
will recall the days of Boss
Tweed in New York who bought
state senator's for $4,000 each.
They were to have received $50,
600 each, but a newspaper report.
er nosing about, found out about
the big pot of $3.50, 900 and he in
sisted on a share, He was final
ly given $4,000, which he after
wards lost in game of poker.
A good many years after this,
when Tweeds attention was call
ed to the incident he said, with
a sigh: If l could have bought
newspaper men as cheap as
bought members of the legisla-
ture, l wouldn't be in the fix l
am now. The most Of these
cusseS would refuse money when
they didn't have enough to get
'em a deceut meal" This is a
characteristic Of newspaper men
They are true to the people, even
at the expence of their own per-
sonal interests, And often the
public never knows the strong
temptations under which they
labor, and the trials that they
endure as they tell the news hon
estly and fairly, let the conse-
quences rest where they may.
