FOR TITANIC DEAD
Services Held at 8 O'clock Today
at St. Paul's Catholic
Church.

Catholics from every part of the Dis

sentative of the diplomatic and official

souls of those who lost their lives in
the Titanic disaster. Monsignor Mac
kin, whose early life was spent on a
sea, and who narrowly escaped with
his life from two shipwrecks, was the
celebrant Of the mass.
Because of the hour at which the
mass was celebrated many persons EN-.
ployed in the Government departments
and others who do not start the days
work until 8 o'clock attended the ser.
vices. Especially impressive was the
music of the mass. The entire sanctu,
ary choir Of the church, under the di.
rection of Ernest Winchester, sang the
solemn plain chant requiem. The
"Benedictus' and the "Miserere" were
also sung with unusual impressiveness
by the choir.

How to Beautify
Hair and Complexion

Nothing has been found so efficient to
keep the scalp clean and healthy and
the hair lustrous, fuzzy. and growing
as a shampoo prepared by dissolving a
teaspoonful of canthrox in a cup of hot
water. The hair will rinse easily and
dry quickly without streaking. This
shampoo prevents brittleness, split
hairs, and dissolves dandruff instantly.
An extremely good lotion, far better
than face powder for whitening the
skin and beautifyig the complexion, can
be made by dissolving ounces of spur
max in II pint witch hazel Cor hot wa
teri, then adding teaspoonfuls glycer-
Inc. For taking away that shiny, oily.
sallow look and improving a muddy
complexion. 1t is unequaled. 1t is very
beneficial to the skin, does not show
nor rub off easily like powder, and gives
to the skin such a smooth, refined ap-
pearance.

Steamer Was Unable
To Reach the Titanic

ROTTERDAM, April 2S.-That the
steamer Birma, of the. Russian line,
plying between New York, this port,
and Libau, was only 100 miles from
the Titanic when she struck the ice
berg, but was unable to sail directly to
the rescue because of intervening ice
fields, was the assertion made by her
captain in a report received here today.
The Birma received the appeal Of
Wireless Operator Phillips for aid, but
when her captain tried to steer directly
for the scene he found progress cut OFF
by a series Of immense icebergs, He
had to sail almost in a half circle and
did not reach the actual scene at any
time, as en- route he picked up a mes
sage from the Carpathia, saying there
was no use continuing, that the Titanic
had gone forever, and that the Car
pathia. had acted as the ambulance
ship.
The Birma reports no wreckage en-
countered. The ice encountered. her
commander asserts, was the worst he
ever saw.

mittee Of the House, the size OF the
transports in the service of the army,
the number of passengers they are per-
mitted to carry, and the lifeboatage on
each Is approximately as follows:
Tho transport Sheridan. which has a
register OF 5,673 tons and a passenger
and crew carrying capacity Of 1897 per-
sons, carries only enough lifeboats to
take care of ISe persons. Under the law
demanded.
The transport Sherman, with reg.
lister of $3.50 tons, and a passenger and
crew capacity similar to that of the
Sheridan, has only lifeboats enough for
766 persons, approximately.
The transport Logan, with a register
OF 5.b1s and a passenger and crew car
rying capacity of 1,S75 persons, has life
boats for $50 persons.
Case of Transport Thomas.
The transport Thomas, register 5,7s6
tons and a passenger and crew capacity J
of 1859 persons, carries llfeboats for 1866
persons.
The transport Kilpatrl with a reg
lister of 5,046 tons and a total capacity
for 1,156 persons all told, has boatage
for 4G3 persons.
The transport Buford, being a sister
ship Of the Fitzpatrick, has a similar
capacity as to passengers and crew and
the same lifeboat equipment.
The transport Meade. with a register
of 5,641 tons and accommodations for
1900 persons, all told. has only lifeboats
for about 800 persons.
The transport Crook, which Is per-
mitted by law to carry 1903 passengers
and crew, could only take care of 420
persons in lifeboats in case of need.
The boatage on the transport Sheridan
Is composed of eleven nfeboats, two

The War Department in addition to
the transports named, has in it's service
several vessels engaged in inter-island
service in the Philippines and elsewhere.
In this class is the Transport Dix,
which is a freighter running between
Seattle and Manila. This vessel carries
few passengers as a rule, and the life
saving equipment would. under or
