lCEBERGS DREAD OF SEAMEN
Constitute the Greatest Menace to
Navigation-Fog and Derelicts
Also Feared.

New York, April 17.-Icebergs, such
as the one that brought disaster to the
Titanic, constitute one of three
sources of greatest peril to vessels
navigating the north Atlantic. The
other two are fog and dereliets. The
iceberg menace has been greater this
spring than in any recent year
In the last so years there have
been a dozen disasters to big liners
for which icebergs were responsible.
A majority of these occurred off New
fopndland and the Grand Banks. in
the general vicinity of the Titanic's
grave. The list of these disasters in

ICEBERG IN COURSE
Worst Maritime Disaster of
Modern Times Due to
Treacherous Foe in the
Path of the Great White
Star Liner-Prominent and
Wealthy Men on Board
Monetary Loss on Vessel
and Cargo viii Reach $20,-
100000.

New York, April 17.-This is what
is known about the Titanic disaster:
She came into collision with an ice
berg, smashed in her bows and sank
in about four hours.
There were three or four steamers
within 200 miles of her and they re-
sponded to her wireless calls for help.
So far it is only known positively
that one ship, the 'Carpatllia. reached
the vicinity in time to save any lives.
She found 868 passengers in life-
boats floating near what tad been
given as the Titanic's position in the
wireless calls for help. These the
Carpathia took on board and is now
bringing to New York. Nearly all
these rescued passengers are women
and children, though among them ap-
pear the names of few men, notably
Company, who was making the trip
on the company's newest and largest
ship on her maiden voyage.
New York, April 17.-Wireless dis
patches received Monday showed that
the passengers of the monster White
Star line steamer Titanic, which
struck an iceberg off the Newfound-
land coast on her maiden voyage from
Southampton, were being transferred
to the steamer Carpathia, Cunarder,
which left New York April 10, for Ma
pies.
Capt. E. ]. Smith, commander of the
Titanic, probably went to his grave
with his vessel without once being
able to communicate direct with the
agents of his line.
Aside from the &c. @ D." sent by
his wireless operator not one word
from him was received up to the time
the Titanic sank bow foremost into
the ocean.
Women and Children First
The presumption is that he met
death at his post as gallant skipper
should. That he and ais crew en-
forced rigidly the unwritten law of
the sea-women and children first
is plainly indicated by the preponder-
anec of women among the partial list

of survivors that the wireless has

given.
Although 500 are reported to be on
the Carpathia, it is apparent that all
of them are not passengers. for it was
necessary for members of the I'll
tanic's crew to man the lifeboats
which set out from the sinking liner
How many of the crew were as
signed to each boat is a matter of
conjecture A similarity unsettled mat
ter is the percentage of first-class pas
sengers among those saved. While
the names of survivors obtained are
largely those Of saloon passengers, the
rule women first" should apply
equally to the second cabin and steer
age, a regulation which may have cost
the lives Of many prominent men
above decks 1t is natural also that
the names OF the more obscure sur
vivors would be slower in reaching
land.
Not a Word From Titanic.
After the first desperate calls of the
Titanic for help had been sent flying
through space and brought steamers
for hundreds Of miles around speeding
to the scene, what seems to have been
an impenetrable wall of silence was
raised between her and the anxious
world
The giant liner, it seems, went to
her fate without so much as whisper
of what must have been the scenes
of terrible tragedy enacted on her
decks
In the lack of even line from
survivor, imagination pauses be-
fore even trying to conjecture what
passed as the inevitable became
known and it was seen that of the
more than 1000 human lives with
which she was freighted there could
be hope of saving, as 1T appears, far
less than a half.
Greatest Marine Horror.
Other than the news that 866 per-
sons had been rescued from the liners
boats by the Cunarder Carpathia,
hours passed without word as to the
fate of the remainder of those on
board at the time Of the fateful crash.
Along the entire Atlantic coast
wireless instruments were attuned to
catch from any source the slightest
whisper of hope that possibly on one
of the many steamships which rushed
to the assistance of the stricken Titan
of the seas were other survivors of
the sunken vessel.
But from none of the ships reported
to be at or near the scene of what,
viewed in the light of the probabili-
ties, may be recorded as the worlds
greatest marine horror, came the slight
est syllable of encouragement.
At first 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 despair
as hour after hour passed without
WORT from either of the Allan liners,
Partisan or Virginian, believed to be,
with the exception of the Carpathia,
the vessels nearest the Titanic's ocean
burial place when she made her
plunge.
Buried Two Miles Under Sea.
The Titanic herself lies buried two
miles beneath the oceans surface,
midway between Sable island and
Cape Race. Her position when she
struck the iceberg was given as lati-
tude 41.46 north, longitude sofa west.

IN SENSE OF HUMOR
If You Warm It In Your Bosom Some
Day 1t VIII Rise Up and
Bite You.

81 know Pm mixing a metaphor"
said George D. Piper, "but you take
it from me-if you warm a sense Of
humor in your bosom, some day it
will rise up and bite you in the face"
MIR. Piper is a Mormon. He came
to town not long ago with the choir
Of 200 Mormons, which played a
singing engagement here, says the
New York correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Times Star. The moment
that he is asked if he belongs to the
church Mr.. Piper, wearing an in
jured expression, begins his recital /:
Ppm a Mormon" says he, ''forty-
nine years old, been married to the
same wife, and only one of her, 80
years; am perfectly happy; never
wanted a second wife couldn't have
one now, anyhow, because it would
be bigamy, and do not think the
Mormons are as happy now as they
were in the days when polygamy
was openly practiced,"
Having finished his litany, Mr..
Piper will then consent to talk. 81
have been travelling around the coun-
try for years." says he, "and once |
got so darn tired Of having the same
old questions pushed at me that l
changed the order. We were run
ming an industrial exposition in Ten
nessee, and every woman who spoke
to me would ask: GLOW many wives
have your"
"'Six,' I'd reply. But if you'll
say the word I'll make it seven Usu-
ally they would squeal and run away,
but one day a good looking woman
asked the question and got the am
swer. She smiled at me-a sugary,
sticky, honey sort of a grin-and
went away. That night she came
back with her sister. Pm wiling
she said, but say, can't you marry
my sister, too?'"
Mr.. Piper reiterates that a little
humor is a dangerous thing. "You
haven't any idea," he says, mourn
fully, Show hard it was to get that
woman to see the joke"

RACING CATTLE.

The eighteenth century expert
mented with bulls and COWS as rae
ing mounts instead of horses. The
early nineteenth century saw an
equally interesting substitute for the
harnessed horse. Just a century ago
a small farmer of the neighborhood
drove into st. Adams on market day
in a little car drawn by four hogs.
Having toured the market place
three or four times amid popular ap-
plause, he put his animals up in a
stable, did his marketing, and drove
off again to the accompaniment of
louder cheers, which did not make
them shy. 1t had taken him six
months to train them, and he re-
fused an offer of ESQ down for the
vehicle and team.
