HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE ADMITTED.

y. A. S Franklin. vice president of the
International Mercantile Marine Com
pany, said at Q p. NJ. at the White Star
offices that he feared the loss of life would
be very heavy, but could not estimate
how eavy.
I'VE learn of rumors from Halifax"
he said, which state that the Virginian.
the Partisan and the Carpathian have the
survivors, Capt. Haddock Of the Oym-
pic has wired that the Titanic sank at
go A, NJ and also that the Carpathia
had 675 survivors on board there were
a.iso of passengers and crewl and ia
making straight for New York can't
say whether or not the Partisan and the
Nirginian have any passengers until
hear definitely. We have asked Capt.
Haddock and our agents at Halifax for
more definite news.
Il fear serious loss Of life, but it is
impossible to give particulars until we
hear from the Virginion and the Parisian
! wouldn't want TO alarm people,
Mr. Franklin said that the lifeboats
Of the Titanic arc sufficient to carry all
the passengers. 1t would take four hours
TO transfer the passengers from the ship
He said he was hopeful that the rumor
that the Partisan and Nirginian have
many passengers on board and are pro-
cecding to Halifax il true.
When he was asked if he had given
ont all OF the message sent by Capt. Had
dock he said that he had given out prac-
lically all of it. Capt. Haddock had not
mentioned any loss of life.
"Ihc line does not want to approximate
at this time what the loss OF life IT," sait
Mr.. Franklin. but We fear il will be very
heavy one"
When the news that the Titanic had
foundered rot to the White Star Office
here tho first impression was that the
message meant the safety OF all tho pas-
sengers. B't al quarter past O'Clock
Mr.. Frank lin sent for the reporters to
