in the many runors afoat here tonight TO
the effect that the officials OF the White
Star line knew that the Titanic had sunk
eight hours before II was made public
by Vice President Franklin Of the steam
ship company.
This has been strenuouslv denied by
Mr., Franklin and other officials of the
line, but Notwithstanding these dcnials
the rumors will not down.
1t was declared here tonight that an
official of the Cunard liner, owners OF
the steamer Carpnthia. said that news
of the Titanlc's sinking had been re-
ceivcd by the White Star line officials
in New York before 10 o'clock Monday
morning. This official, who charged tho
White Star officials with suppressins the
sinking of the Titanic, is Thomas J.
Stead. In an interview he said;
'On Tuesday morning Il personal friend
of mine came into the Cunard offices
seeking information about the Titanic
disaster. In talking with mo he asked.

Blaze Battling.

An attempt was made TO put out the
blaze. but proved futile. An alarm was
then sent into the fire department. When
the response came, heat and clouds OF
smoke made access TO the basement i'm
possible. The exact location of the prin-
cipal blaze could not be determined for
some time, although the flremen made
every effort TO Invade the black columns.
1t was not until the flames burst
through the first floor OF the structure
that the fire apparatus could be brought
to bear effectively. IL was then appar-
cnt that the structure was doomed.
While the fire was raging. citizens and
those who were connected with offices
in the block removed most of tho valu-
abes to the street, where they were piled
in a heap. Bank attaches succeeded in
removing all daily records and many fur

From the few details which the Car

sea was perfectly calm when the accident
happened On every side stretched A
great eXpansc of broken ice and 1t was
through this mass that the Titanic
steamed TO her doom. From the estimates
of the survivors. the operator conjectured
OF ten miles an hour. Considering the
ships equipments this was approximately
at the rate of half her fun speed. This
indicates that although Captain Smith
was hoping 10 establish record on the
vessels maiden trip he had confined his
efforts at squirting TO unobstructed water

the captain of the French liner Lorraine
warned him.
