TITANIC ON RIGHT ROUTE,
SAYS OFFICIAL BULLETIN
Popular impression That 1t
Was Out of Its Proper
Course Corrected.

According to a statement prepared by
the photographic office Of the navy and
issued by the Secretary Of the Navy. the
White Star liner Titanic was following
the regular southern route when she
struck an iceberg. and was sunk with an
appalling loss Of life.
THE popular impression that the IT,
tanic was not following the southern
route when she met with disaster on
April IA is incorrect" says the state
ment. Reference to the pilot chart for
April. published by the photographic
ONCE. shows that the lane for the Spring
months is the one along which the tt
tanic was moving, as her position was
reported to be latitude forty-one degrees
forty-five minutes, longitude fifty de-
grees fourteen minutes when she struck
an iceberg, and this is exactly upon the
westbound track The impression that
she was on the northern route may have
arisen from the fact that the westbound
track. upon which she was travelling, lies
Immediately north OF the eastbound track.
But this Is as 1t should be and agrees ex-
by the various steamship companies in
1893. Whether she should have diverged
to the southwark upon being informed
that ice had been sighted along the &C.
cepted routes is another question and
need not be discussed here"
Detecting Nearness Of Ice.
The photographic Office. in a brief trea-
tise on North Atlantic movements, gives
summary Of the different methods b.,
which any traveller may foretell the prox-
unity of icebergs to the ship at sea,
which is. in part, as follows:
Before ice is seen from deck the ice
blink will often indicate its presence.
This Is caused by the reflection of the
rays of light from the sun or moon. On
q clear day over the ice on the horizon
the sky Is much paler or lighter In color
and is distinguishable from that over
head; sharp lookout should be kept for 1t:
known by the noise Of their breaking UP
and falling to pieces. The cracking OF
the ice or the falling of pieces into the
sea makes a noise like breakers or q dis
tant discharge of guns, which may be
heard q short distance.
''The absence Of swell or wave motion
In a fresh breeze is sign that there Ia
land or ice on the weather side.
1.-The appearance Of herds of seal or
flocks Of birds far from land is an indica-
ton of the proximity Of ice.
While little reliance can be placed 1t
present upon temperature observations as
a means of indicating with certainty the
apparatus as every ship carries, there is
hope that the problem can be solved.
The photographic Office observes that
there Is q, chance for inventors for an In
strument which will certainly indicate the
nearness OF ice fields and expresses the
hope that the problem will soon be
solved.

ROTTERDAM, April 22.-The captain
OF the Russian steamer Birma today sent
wireless dispatch to the agents here
that the vessel will arrive in port to-
morrow morning.
No mention is made in the dispatch of

SUFFRAGISTS ARE ANGRY.
Plan Revenge for Rejection Of Con
Citation Bill.
Correspondence OF The Star.

LONDON. April Ii. 1912
1t is quite evident that the suffragists
are very incensed over the rejection Of
the Cancellation bill, and meetings are be-
ing held to discuss plans of campaign for
the future. All sorts of terrible things
have already been suggested. and IL some
Of the proposals for revenge were carried
out anti-suffragists would find life hard
ly worth living.
Mrs. Despard. who is seemingly endeav-
oring to fill the shoes Of Mrs. Pankhurst
while that lady Is holidaying at the gov
ernments expense, favors a boycott Of
trade. She also makes the suggestion
that women should stop giving subscrip-
lions to churches and other institutions.

SEA DISASTER AS TOPIC !.
At LONDON CONFERENCE
United States to Be Repre-
sented by Delegates in
June Gathering.

The first International conference upon
which the lessons of the Titanic's dis
aster are expected to have great in
fuence will be the International Radio

sured participation. in the meeting by
delegates from the United States by
adopting today the conference report on
the diplomatic and consular appropria-
ton bill,
The provision for American participa-
tion. allowing an appropriation of $500.
was inserted in the bill before the tt
tanic's doom was sealed by the iceberg,
but the conference on the bill between
representatives of the two houses took
place after the lessons of the disaster
became known. While several OF the ap-
preparations for international conferences
were knocked out Of the measure, that
Tor the radiotelegraphic conference was
agreed to by all the conferees.
An Item Omitted.
One OF the provisions which was lost
from the bill, however. In conference was
Tor $1,000 to pay the expenses of dele
gates from the United States to the In
ternational Conference on Maritime Law
which is to meet in Brussels, Belgium,
next September.
AS agreed to in conference. the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill

The conference report was agreed to by
fhe Senate Immediately after the session
began today.
Participation by the United States,
through expert delegates, in the inter-
national interchangeable conference was
specially urged upon Congress by the
Department of Commerce and Labor The
extent to which wireless Is now used on
the Atlantic and the fact that the Congress
Of the United States has taken a lead in
requiring wireless equipment on Atlantic
liners are given by the department as
reasons for representation by this coun-
try In the new conference.
In the conference, the House accepted
the greater appropriation proposed by
the Senate for the International Con-
gress OF Hygiene and Demography, rats
ing the amount from $4,000 to $4,000

CLUE TO THE IDENTITY
z OF RESCUED CHILDREN
Belief That Titanic Waits Are
Named Hoffman Strengthened by
Passenger List Entry.

NEW. YORK. April Pho one has yet
appeared who could identity the two
children SAVED from the Titanic by Miss
Margaret Hays. hut r. L. Neill. New York
agent for, the Children's Aid Society, Is
reasonably sure their father was Mr..
Hoffman,, who lost his life in the dis
aster.
On the only passenger list Mr.. Neill
has been. able to obtain there appears
among the second cabin passengers the
entry: Mr.. Hoffman and two children. ;.
Mr.. Neiil hopes that the original list;
which probably will be, received. here
Tuesday, will give further information
and solve the question Of the identity of
the little ones. who speak French and
obviously are of foreign birth.
Begs Room for Children.
Mr.. Neill recalled the story told by
some of the rescued passengers that in
the midst Of the excitement a man ran
up to one of the nfeboats and started to
lift two children into it. He was warned
that there was no room for him, and re-
piled that he did not want to go, but
begged that the children be taken along.
This man was Mr.. Hoffman. Mr.. Neill
believes.
The children, whose given names are
supposed to be Lola and Louis are still at
the home Of Frank X. Hays, where they
were taken by Miss Hays. They seem
not the least homesick.

WANT DIVORCE SUITS
HEARD IN OPEN COURT
Commissioners Send Measure
Relating to the Matter
to Congress.

Based on the central idea that wit
nesses in equity cases. divorce suits and
suits for annulment Of marriage should
be heard in open court, rather than
through dispositions taken before examin-
ers, bill amending the code of law of
the District with respect to the procedure
Of the courts in such cases today was
sent to Congress by the Commissioners
Of the District
The bill was framed by a committee of
lawyers appointed by District Corpora
ton Counsel E. H. Thomas. president of
the Bar Association Of the District, and
consists Of A. A. Birney. A. B. Browne,
H. H. Classic, william Henry White and
F. L. Siddons Enactment Of the pro-
posed legislation will, the Commissioners
think. tend to lessen the cost of litigation
and to prevent delays in the administra-
ton of justice.
With other things the bill provides
that all evidence taken at the hearing or
trial of any cause within the scope of this
act may be used in any subsequent pro-
court shall decide each case within ninety
days after it shall have been submitted.
Views OF Mr. Thomas.
Accompanying the bill and the Com
missioners' report on 1t, which were for
warded to Senator Gallinger, chairman
of the Senate District committee, was a
report on the measure transmitted to the
Commissioners by Corporation Counsel
Thomas.
The report Of Mr.. Thomas, in part, is
as follows:
Il am OF opinion that the legislation
is desirable and that it Is necessary In
the public interest. Reform in court
procedure is now the subject Of consid-
Grafton in many jurisdictions, and. in my
Judgment. great need now exists In this
District for q change Of procedure In
equity and other causes. whereby early
judicial discrimination can be secured and
the expense OF litigation reduced.
Under the present practice great and
unnecessary expense IL incurred in TAX
ing testimony before an examiner because
that oflcer has no power to restrict the
testimony, nor to rule on the admissi-
bility OF evidence. This bill states that
the testimony shall be reduced to writing
In narrative FORM and this, with other
provisions, Il enacted into law. will re-
duce the sise and cost OF the record"

With its approach, those who
Joined and have labored since the

number the thousands-these san

will be a hard matter to determine
to whom the proverb plums will Fall.
The task of judging the thousands
of answers is prodigous. 1t will con-

A staff of clerks will be in charge of
the minor details of sorting, etc, but
the actual judging will be done by

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, a day

home and good cheer. 1t is a time
when for once in the year the mind

of the season. The Evening Stars

cupy many tomorrow and even
Christmas Day, for apart from its
commercial side and business aspect,
the competition has a very definite
and by no means small, entertain
ment and instructive value and thus
it is meet that it should not be
neglected. There is time even now
for those who want to win an award
