New York, April 1S.-A wireless :
communication from the Cunarder {
Carpathia says that John Jacob AS !
tor is not aboard that ship. All
hope of their possible rescue has
also been abandoned for Isidor
Strauss, Benjamin Guggenheim,
Major Archibald Butt, Henry B.
Harris, Charles M. Hays, William T.
Stead, George D. Widener, and
many other notables.
It is beginning to appear that, in
spite of the calls for information as |
ito details OF the sinking OF the IL !
itanic, strlcl censorship as to news
tHent ont is being exercised on the
lCRrpAthia. Up to this forenoon not
lone mixing OF the secret of what

1.-THE giving of the story to an anxiou
iworId every possible arrangemer
has been made by the several WIRE
less stations In the range to handI
such a report preferred matter
IT lis now announced that the
tCarpathfa carries thirteen life
boats that belonged to the Titanic
land In which those of her passen-
!gers to escape a watery grave We're
saved 1t has heretofore been suo-
posed that the liner carried twenty
boats.
Through the Cunarder Franconia, |
which late yesterday established I
wireless communication with the |
rescue ship, came a message which
Included this statement: "She has
total of 705 survivors aboard"
Previous statements from the
Carpathia have been that she car
ried S6S survivors. 1t may be that
the report received through the |
Franconia included count of res /
cued passengers only, disregarding 7
the 100 or more members of the :
crew of the sunken liner who must t
have been in the boats which the Z
ICarpathia picked up. s
The roll of saved from the Titan
ic disaster now seems complete. +
Practically every attending circum- 9
stance in the transmission of news =
from the rescue ship goes to show
that only 1928 of the S1o cabin pas
sengers who sailed ON the Titanic
are safe on the Carpathia. The 2S2
cabin passengers whose names have
not appeared in the lists sent
ashore by wireless must probably
be conceded as among the 1872
lives which the collision of the
mammoth new steamer with an ice
berg off the New Foundland banks
Sunday night is believed to have
taken
The fact that one new name came
through late yesterday in a private
message from the Carpathia was the
basis of what was a desire, more
than hope, that there were slips
enough in her wireless lists to ac-
count for afew, at least, of those
still unaccounted for. AT the best,
however, it appeared that it could
be only an occasional one whose
safety had not been reported thru
some error of compilation on the
| liner or in wireless transmission.
The Carpathia is expected to dock
| here some time tonight, when the
true story of the terrible disaster
will be known and the list of those
saved will be learned in full.
| AS the morning progressed the
,Carpathia continued to studiousiy
avoid answering all queries for par
lticuiars as to the sinking of the II
ltanie, even President Taft's request
for information being ignored.
The story of the sinking OF the
Titanic will, so 1t now seems, re-
lmain unknown until the Carpathla
docks about one O'Clock Friday
informing. Private messages Suggest
THAT the survivors OF the sunken
ocean queen who are aboard the
lCarpathis are ignorant of the fate
log the Titanic. many of the wives !
