Special to the New Mexican.


Washington, D. c., April 30.-Hon
T. B. Catron, United States Senator
from New Mexico, was the guest OF
honor and made a long, felicitous ad-
dress at the opening Of the fine new
home of the Columbia Country Club
at Chevy Chase, Maryland, the fash
ionable suburban residence district
just across the District of Columbia
line. An elaborate program was Civ,
en- of which Mr.. Catron's speech was
the feature. He told of New Mexico S
fight for sixty years to obtain state
hood and was frequently interrupted
by outbursts of applause. At the con-
clusion, he was warmly congratulated
by those present, who included many
society ladies. W. A. Bayer, several
officers of the club and Ira NJ. Bond,
the New Mexican correspondent, were
designated as an escort to Senator
Catron during the evening. The Ogell-
Carol male quartet of Sweden. gave a
delightful program. With refresh
ments, games, music and dancing the
christening night of the Columbia
Country Club was proclaimed great
success.
Would Ruin New Mexico.
A few of the bills amending several
of the schedules of the tariff law, will
probably pass at this session. But the
finance committee of which Senator
Boies Penrose is chairman, has report
ed adversely and is working hard to
prevent the passage of any measure
for free wool, free livestock, free
COAL free zinc and some other COM
modities, that would spell ruin to i'm
portant New Mexico industries, if they
became law.

so Bodies Found Floating Together.
Relics of the great Titanic dotted
the sea over an area so miles square,
Captain Larnder said Doors, win
doWs and chairs by the score were
found floating, but to none of them
were bodies lashed In several in
stances there were groups of floating
bodies numbering fifty or more, but
none were lashed together. Colonel
Astor was found standing almost erect
in his life belt. Small boats were
lowered by the Mackay-Bennett when.
ever a group of bodies was sighted
and into these the dead We're piled
three or four at time. Hauled on
board the cable ship, each was num-
bered with a large canvas tag and the
valuables and papers were placed in a
canvas sack similarly numbered.
Canon Kohind of Ali Saints Cathe-
dral here, conducted the service in
connection with the burial at sea. On
three occasions services We're held.
Could Not Garry All Dead Found.
we buried so many at sea- said
Captain Larnder, simply because we
could not accommodate them.
We had limited embalming sup
plies and it was absolutely necessary
to consign many to the deep. None,
II any passengers | believe, were
buried except perhaps in the case of
Mr.. Widener's valet. The majority of
those sunk were unidentified. We had
instructions when we left here to pick
up all the Titanic's dead we found,
but under the conditions. it was i'm
possible to carry out these instruc-
tions.

Daniel w. Marvin, one of the Titanic
survivors, is credited in New York
papers with the assertion that she
saw lsmay and Captain Smith drink
ing in one of the saloons of the liner

ice-mountain. Mrs. Marvin, with her
husband, wealthy young New Yor-
ker, were returning to New York on
the Titanic, after enjoying their
honeymoon in Europe. The young
bride is now heartbroken widow as
a result of the terrible disaster. An.
other one of those rescued from the
Titanic has stated that on Sunday aft
ernoon there was a dance on board
of the Titanic, and that Sunday even

was spent in playing cards; that half
emptied champagne bottles were
passed around to the crew and that
one of the watches in the crows nest
