Survivors in Hospital.

New York, April 19 Nearly no of the survivors of the Titanic were in hospitals tonight, suffering from shock and exposure, but as far as could be learned. none was in seri- ous condition. It was expected that all would be discharged within few days,
 Most of them were third class pas sengers and members of the crew. More than 25 were children under l0 years of age, several of them or phaned and few yet unidentified There was, for instance, a wailing g. months-old baby, tossed into life boat by it's mother that probably will grow up without knowing who It's par ents were.
 More than hundred were cared for at St. vincents hospital which was scene today of many pathetic incidents. Not only were there tear ful but happy reunions between the survivors and friends and relatives, who had missed meeting when the Carpathia docked last night, but there were scores, still hoping against hope that some of their dear ones not nam ed among the survivors might be among the rescued who called to make inquiries.
 During the day many philanthropic women. we'll known in the city social ly. visited the hospitals to render as sistance. Financial aid to relieve many cases of destitution was prom ised by these women.

And when the Carpathia rescued the pas sengers. some of the crew of the Car pathia, together with men of the IT. tanic. actually carried Mir lsmay to spacious rooms that had been set aside for him.

ISMAY IS
 ARRAIGNED
CHARGED ON FLOOR OF SENATE WITH SEEKING HIS OWN SAFE.
 TY IN SHIPWREcK.
Woman Declares He Sought Lifeboat and Chose Competent Crew to Man It-Sought Secluslon on
 Board the Carpathia.

Washington, April 19.-An indict- ment, rarely equalled in it's vigor, of J. Bruce Ismay, managing director, and other officials of the White Star line, holding them responsible for the Titanic disaster, was delivered in the senate today when Senator Rayner of Maryland, who pictured Ismay as the officer. primarily responsible for the destination in safety and unharmed'
 Senator Rayner pointed out that while there were no civil nor criminal remedies available in the American courts, criminal and civil suits could be brought in the British courts, and that a congressional committee would have absolute authority to subpoena anyone connected with the disaster.
 Mir Ismay claims. according to re- ports. that he took the last lifehoat, cried Senator Rayner. T don't be- lieye 1t, and if he did, 1t was cowardly to take any lifeboat for the managing director of the line, with his board, is criminally responsible for this appall- 1 ing tragedy.
 eff this had happened on an Ameri- can vessel there would be no question that an indictment would be found and the officers of the company could be convicted of manslaugh4er. if not | of murder.
 q have not the slightest doubt that the northern route was taken in obe- dienee to MT. Ismay's direct orders
 "The martyrdom aud the agonies of separation that took plasses ef h9aEsa' ga the sinking ship are too fearful for the mind to contemplate Int MT. Is may the officer primarily responsible for the whole disaster, has reached his destination in safety and unharm- ed No legislation can bring back to earth single life lost on that fatal night. What we can do is to help fix the responsibility, if possible, and re- ly upon British justice to bring to bay the guilty directorate of this company.
 "All civilized nations will applaud the criminal prosecution of the man. agement of this line. If they can be made to suffer, no sympathy will go out for them"
 Two more bills framed on the les son drawn from the Titantic disaster were introduced in the house today One of them, by Representative O. Shaughnessy of Rhode Island, would compel all ocean going steamships to or from the United States to carry constant and adequate wireless.
 Representative Parran of Maryland offered a measure to appropriate sl,- roc, ,0OO for naval target practice in destroying .ceburgs by the guns of the warships and by dropping explo- siyes from airships.

ENGINEERS RENEW DEMAND.

New York, April 19.-Warren $. Stone, head of the Brotherhood of To. comotiye Engineers, sent an ultima tum to the conference committee of eastern railroad managers today giv- ing them until Monday to accede to the engineers demands for higher wages.
 This followed request for IS hours more time made by J c. Stu art. chairman of the conference com mittee, after MT. Stone had sent a letter asking that the demands be granted by o'clock tonight. This letter was the engineers reply to the formal refusal of their demands by the railroad committee, yesterday,

Rostron wept as he told today how the Carpathia had picked up the un- fortunates set adrift from the IT. tanic; and before he left on his ship, admiring passengers presented him with loving cup.
 Although several consistent ac- counts of what happened aboard the Titanic have been obtained from sur vivors, it was manifestly impossible for anyone fully to take account of all that occurred on her great decks, four city blocks in length. Thus there are those who maintain that there were one or more cases of suicide among the officers. Captain Smith, it would appear from the consensus of narratives, went down with his ship, but several passengers say that first officer Murdock shot himself through | the head before she sank.
 The 200 rescued members of the ri tanlcs crew still were in New York tonight, sheltered on the Red Star | liner Lapland With few exceptions they will be returned to England, but not until they have beld long enougl to permit some of them to testify be fore the senate committee.
 The greatest problem aconfrontins the committees appointed to provid, for the survivors has been with the steerage passengers. Speaking nc 1 English in many cases, ignorant ol their destinations, frightened and l fithout friends or relatives, their plight was acute until interpreters from the International Institute fol Young Women, a branch of the Y. w. c. A., circulated among them today and apportioned them as benefited their nationality among the vast for eign quarter in New York More than S20,0O0 has already been subscribed for the sufferers, and series of ben efits to raise more money has been | arranged.
 Most of the wealthy and more prom inent survivors have left the city, Col onel John Jacob Astor's young widow remained secluded in the Astor resi- dence here, too i'll, according to her | physicians, to make any statement. No direct word from her has come to the outside world since Colonel Astor kissed her goodbye and placed her in the lifeboat.

Chose Competent Crew.

New York, April 19.-According to Mrs. w. J. Cardeza of Philadelphia. who told her story after she had ar rived here, J. Bruce Ismay was not oniy safely seated in a Iifehoat before fl was filled. but also selected the crew that rowed the boat AccordinG to Mrs. Cardeza. Mir. Ismay knew that Mr. cardeza was an expert oarsman and he beekoned him into the boat. MT. Cardeza manned an oar until MT Ismays boat was picked up, about two hours later.

DESTROYED A GOLDEN MYTH
Moral Seems to Be Let Children Dis
cover the Truth About Santa
Claus for Themselves.

It had been a hard year for the IA
Their of the family and the coming Of
Christmas had something of terror in
1t for him when he thought of how
much less in the way of gifts he could
do than he would have liked.
But what hurt worst was that, hav
ing had to meet some heavy bills, he
found it would be quite impossible to
buy the bicycle that he had promised
his boy Santa Claus would bring.
He was sorry for the disappoint-
ment that he knew the lad would feel
and he decided that it would be best
not to wait and have the disappoint-
ment come on Christmas day. So he
went to the lad, manly little chap,
and said:
Look here, my boy, you are old
enough now to understand things. Each
Christmas when you received gifts you
supposed, and, indeed, we told you,
they were brought by Santa Claus.
"As matter of fact, Santa Claus IN
only a make-believe, a tradition that
has come down through the ages to
help make the Christmas season
brighter and happier and less selfish
for children. The truth Is that your
mother and myself have always been
your Santa Claus.
"This year, sonny, things have not
been going very we'll with me and I
can't just afford that bicycle that you
thought Santa Claus was going to
bring you.
'Be brave little man about It and
we'll have a merry Christmas anyway,
and maybe early in the year I'll be
able to get it for you. But I really
can't afford 1t now You won't mind
very much, will you?"
'Why-no-dad," said the lad.
though he had to fight bit to keep
the tears out of his eyes.
'But," he said, thoughtfully, mo
Santa Claus! Why, believed in him.
Say, dad, you haven't been fooling me
about Jesus, too, have you?"-st. Louis

Tennis in Japan,

The Japanese have displayed a Pc
c1liar aptitude for lawn tennis. To
many indianapolis players the sight
OF an expert Japanese on the park
courts is not uncommon. Among tho
best amateur players in the city are
Japanese house servants. What they
lack in height they more than make
up in agility They seem to be 1nde-
fatigable. Tennis, like baseball, Is
steadily growing in popularity in ia
pan. The former aas become a Ia
vorite among japanese high school
and college students. Intercollegiate
games have also become popular
among the students and their friends.
Among the well-known institutions
that have a large number of enthusi-
asttc tennis players are the following:
Toxic Higher Normal school. Toxic
Commercial school (higher), Waseda
university, Toxic Kyoto university,
Kyoto; Third high school, Kyoto.
The foreign communities In the vari-
GUS ports, Yokohama, Kobe and Ma
gasah, have tennis clubs. The lead
