Members of Crew
Of Titanic Sail
For Home Today

NEW YORK, April None hundred
and eighty members of the crew of the
Titanic sailed from this port today on
the steamer Lapland. Twenty-Five, in
cluding all the officers saved, were held
here to await the action of the Senate
Investigating Committee. The survivors
had been fitted out with clothing here,
as none of them had anything; some
OF them having been picked up from
the sea after the Titanic sunk. ahso-
lutely naked.
The White Star officials said today
they had nothing to add to the list OF
dead and saved. The number of sur
vivors remains at 705, of whom ZOE were
members Of the crew.

ing temperature, so they preferred to
have Il all over as soon as possible.
There is no question now that several
men in the steerage and few OF the
crew were shot down in the first few
minutes OF awful panic. But order was
quickly restored, and after that there
was perfect discipline. Whether First
Officer Murdock killed himself as the
bridge was submerged Is a question.
Some persons claim that the giant Eng
lishman, true type of all that Is best
in mariners, after doing everything he
could to save the people committed to
his care, waited until the final plunge
and then calmly blew out his brains to
obviate great suffering In the ice-filled
waters. Other persons say they think
he went to the bottom clinging to the
rail of the ship.
From second cabin passenger refugees
came some further stories of distress

Brown might have the last remaining
place. Mrs. Brown was overcome today
with the realization that the big-hearted
girl, who told her II would be all right,
that she would find place soon, had
lost her life.
The lifeboats of the Titanic which
were brought here by the Carpathia
have been carefully secreted by the
White Star officials. A man who went
out on a launch to photograph these
boats In the slip In the North river,
where they were held, alleged that he
was shot at by pier watchman after

ordered.
To the charge that many of the crew
deserted their post to be saved en-

third OF the crew were admittedly
saved. OF these ninety-three were not
properly members of the lifeboat crews,
but the majority were taken from the
water after the vessel sank, as they

President May
Call Congress to
Impose Regulations

All of those who might have been
saved from death on the Titanic were
not rescued, according to Secretary of
Commerce and Labor Nagel. The Sec
retary, upon his return from his in
quiry, called attention to the reports
that many of the lifeboats were not
filled to capacity and that they re-
turned again and again to haul aboard
men who dived into the sea.
Mr.. Nagel will urge upon the Presi-
dent the calling of an International coll
gress to impose stringent regulations
for the protection of life on the ocean.
He believes that only through the
agency of such a congress can the
United States successfully accomplish
the regulation Of ocean travel. We
have regulations, the Secretary said, but
no merchant marine. Other nations
have the merchant marine, but no regu-
lations. We can not force our regula-
tions upon the world.

How Wines are Favored

"Logwood is the great coloring matter

rather harmless, but it would go in, if
needed, were it oil of vitriol One of

Moreover, alum is put in to increase the

GOOD
Tactics of Two Years Ago Revived by
Corporation Attorneys.

At the judicial election two years
ago the corporation attorneys publish
ed a list of The One Hundred Good
Lawyers of the state who endorsed
their candidates. 1t subsequently
,ranspired that some of the persons
whose names were on the list denied
having signed 1t. The same attorneys
are again active and are by them
selves and others endeavoring to get
signatures of the members of the bar
in favor Of their candidate. Andrew
A. Bruce. for the judge Of the gu.
preme court. and condemning the
peoples candidate, James E.. Robin
son.
Threats to the Attorneys.
Under every petition of this kind
recommending the reelection of a
Judge lies a threat to the lawyers, il
he does not sign 1t his career may be
ruined. A Judge can injure a law
yers business in a thousand Ways and
the lawyer has no redress. The law
Yer Is compelled to sign it whether he
will or not. Do the electors know the
recommendation Of Judge Bruce? Do
not the people know that most Of the
signatures so obtained were practical
not dare to sign? Do the people want
the candidate of the corporation at
torneys and The One Hundred Good
Lawyers forced upon them: Can
the corporation attorneys thus defeat
the reform candidate of the people,
James f. Robinson?
MIR. Robinson has persistently re-
fused to allow his name to he used on
any such petition. He believes that
the judges are the servants Of all the
people and should W their election
