the other touched her cheek with slen-

ankles protected by high tan boots;
a blouse Of heavy white linen with q
deep sailor collar edged with blue
sleeves rolled well above the elbow,
revealing arms Drowned, graceful and
round; for her head nc covering other

CUMMINS CONFERS
WITH DEMOCRATS
THE INsURGENT SENATOR GIVES
SOME ADVICE REGARDING
METAL TARIFF BILL

Washington, April IL Senator
Cummins of Iowa, progressive repub-
lican, at conference with the demo-
cratic members of the finance com
mittee today. submitted his bill for the
revision of the metal schedule of the
tariff law. It provides for consider
able reduction on iron and steel rates
about midway between the present
tariff and the house democratic bill.
The democratic members said they
felt an agreement with Mr.. Cummins
could be reached Senator Simmons
of North Carolina, who will have
charge of the metal bill, said the
democrats would insist that some tar
iff legislation be enacted and he had
reason to hope a sufficient number of
insurgent republicans would cooper
ate with the democrats to pass the
metal, chemical, sugar and woolen
bills through the senate.

Washington, April 17.-Despite op
position by various boards Of trade
the house committee on agriculture
today voted to make favorable re-
ports on bills designed to end gamb-
Ing in futures on cotton and grain.
Two measures were reported. one
by Representative Beall of Texas,
(democrat), dealing with cotton. and
the other by Representative Lever of
South Caolina, (democrat), relating
to corn, wheat and oats.
The report on the cotton bill was
unanimous. Two members voted
against the grain bill and the south.
ern members refrained from voting
upon. it. The bills, which virtually
are alike, would provide that dealers
who contract to sell must swear that
the commodities sold actually were in
existence. Messages relating to deals
could not be telegraphed, telephoned
or mailed until the affidavit so requir-
ed was made Violation Of the law
would be punishable bA Imprisonment
and heavy fines.
The bills have been bitterly oppos-
ed by the leading cotton and grain
exchanges of the country.

Nebraska is stage on which one

Secretary Nagel today discussed the
ocean steamship situation with AS
sistant Secretary Cable and George
Uhler, supervising inspector general
of steamboats,. They took the posi-
tion that the problem is wholly within
the province OF congress and they
welcome action from that quarter.
The question whether the legisla-
tion applying to American navigation
can be extended to foreign vessels
touching the shores of the United
States was considered. BY recent
act of congress. foreign as well as
American vessels are compelled to
have wireless equipment as safe
guard to navigation and Secretary Ma.
gel believes that the extension of the
life boat requirements can be made
in the same manner. The practical
effect of the American law, it was
said, was to provide life boat space
for practically every person aboard a
ship.

London. April 1{-Although hope

tically been given up, the officers of
the White Star line in London, South
ampton and Liverpool again were be-
sieged this morning by anxious in
quirers, Some of those who had rela
tives on board remained at the Of
fices throughout the night.
Those who waited in the London
offices were mostly women whose
husbands had started for America on
business or to make new homes there
for stheir families. While travellers
generally understand the fact that
great liners do not carry enough
boats to accommodate II the passen-
gers and crew, to the general pubic
news that all on board the Titanic
did not have a chance of saving their
lives in this way came as rude sur.
prise. and there is likely to be con
siderable agitation in ana out of par
lament on the subject
The lord mayor of London today
opened mansion house fund for
the relief of the families of the crew
OF the Titanic and of any others left
in needy circumstances in conse-
quence of the disaster. A memorial
service for the victims will be held
in ST. Paul's cathedral April 10.
Much indignation is expressed here
in connection with the publication OF
kilograms stating that the Titanic
was in tow Of the Virginia just after
the news of the accident was receiv
ed. The electrical control of the
bulkheads Installed in the Titanic
is coming in for much criticism. Il
is stated here that they are pc

List of Survivors Grows Smaller.
: New York, April I7.-The Camper
down wireless station at Halifax to-
day sent the Associated Press the fol
lowing dispatch:
: I'VE are now in communication
with the Carpathia and in a position
to announce unofficially that the Tt
tanic struck an enormous berg and
sank. Over two thousand lost; 700
survivors, mostly women on Carpa-
thia."
The attention of the Camperdown
station was at once called to the
obvious error in the figures, which
d give the total of lost and sur
vived at 300 whereas the total mum
ber of passengers and crew is about
2,2OO. In reply to this inquiry the
following further explanation was
received from Halifax:
"The Marconi station reports that
nothing authentic regarding the, lost
is known on board the Carpathia,
but the steamer Franconia in relay
ing the messages from the Carpathia,
says that the total number of saved
is only no There is no list of miss.

stimate of her total passenger list
