WHERE THE TITANIC MET. HER FATE.

ported fields extending far down into
the southern track and shippers have
told of being shut in by ice as far
as they could see on every side of the
horizon. The size of the bergs en-
countered recently varies greatly, but
according to reliable reports, some
reaching from 60 to 100 feet to the
spires extending to height or 250
feet or more, have not been unusual.
Below the water some of these giant
bergs extend to depth of 500 to 1000
feet
For many years steamship men
have asserted that the safest place to
be is on a we'll equipped ocean liner.
In proportion to the number carried
the statistics show there is less loss
of life and less chance of injury on a
modern liner than there is in any
other means of transportation. Fleets
come and go from New York and 9th
er ports with the regularity of the
tides, and those carrying mails main
tain a schedule which almost equals in
punctuality that of railway mail
trains.
Transatlantic steamers travel in
we'll defined routes, known as steam
ship lanes" westbound and the east
boEInd. This reduces to minimum
the chances of collision. But ice
bergs and derelicts have no respect
for these rules and float into the paths
Or Wallow across them, to be dire
menace in time of fog or thick wealth
err. There is no way to give warn
ing until too late. Out of the smother
of fog a pallid shape may be seen
over the bows, to be followed by a
crash OF the bows against the mass of
ice
"In ordinary circumstances these
watertight compartments will preserve
ship from sinking" said A. L. Hop
kins, yice-president of the Newport
News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock com
pany in New York, 'but smashing into
an iceberg could produce SCATTERING
effects that would render ship help
les beyond the protection of any de-
sign yet known. In fore and after
collisions, where the compartments
are punctured, the lowering of either
end of the ship produces an increased
strain on the other compartments"
Granting that only the forward bulk
head of the Titanic had been crumpled
by the impact with the iceberg, Mr.
Hopkins was inclined to believe that
the relative buoyancy of the remaining
compartments would have been suffi-
not familiar with the relative division
Of the Titanic's compartments, he
could not estimate how many COM
partments must have given away UNI
der the impact of the collision.

STARTED THE BALL ROLLING
Artist, Guest of Honor at Dinner,
Rose to the Occasion When Con-
xersation Tagged.

Robert Henri, the noted artist,
paused before a landscape at the
Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts
and said:
DAVID, who painted this, has
sprung from humble circumstances to
great wealth and eminence.
'Dawb made his first success In
Paris. He was diffident and abashed
in those days. When he would sally
out from his garnet in the Rue Vau-
gfrard to a duchess in the Avenue de
Champs Elysees or princess in the
Rue de PUniversite, his heart would
be in his mouth.
They say that once, at dinner
party at Paillard's, Dawb, the guest
of honor, didn't open his mouth from
the marennes yertes to the souffle.
Finally, when the dessert came on,
the beautiful and elegant hostess
smiled and said:
Come, dear M. DAVID, do say some
thing!
'Dawb blushed at this challenge,
racked his brain and stammered, with
a bashful smile:
Have you noticed, ladies and gen.
tlemen, that this years pawn tickets
are all green?'"

ICEBERGS DREAD OF SEAMEN
Constitute the Greatest Menace to
Navigation-Fog and Derelicts
Also Feared.

New York. April 17.-Icebergs, such
as the one that brought disaster to the
Titanic, constitute one of three
sources of greatest peril to vessels
navigating the north Atlantic. The
other two are fog and derelicts. The
iceberg menace has been greater this
spring than in any recent year.
In the last so years there have
been a dozen disasters to big liners
for which icebergs were responsible.
A majority of these occurred off New
foundland and the Grand Banks, in
the general vicinity of the Titanic's
grave. The list of these disasters in
cludes:

New York, April 17.-This is what
is known about the Titanic disaster:
She came into collision with an ice
berg, smashed in her bows and sank
in about four hours.
There were three or four steamers
within 200 miles of her and they re-
5ponded to her wireless calls for help.
So far it is only known positively
that one ship, the Carpathia, reached
the vicinity in time to save any lives
She found 868 passengers in. life
boats floating near what had been
given as the Titanic's position in the
wireless calls for help. These the
Carpathia took on board and is now
bringing to New York. Nearly all
these rescued passengers are women
and children, though among them ap-
J. Bruce Ismay of the White Star
Company, who was making the trip
on the company's newest and largest
ship on her maiden voyage
New York, April i7.-Wireless dis
patches received Monday showed that
the passengers Of the monster White
Star line steamer Titanic, which
struck an iceberg off the Newfound-
land coast on her maiden voyage from
Southampton, were being transferred
to the steamer Carpathia, a Cunarder,
which left New York April IS, for Ma
pies.
Capt E. j. Smith, commander of the
Titanic, probably went to his grave
with his vessel without once being
able to communicate direct with the
agents of his line.
Aside from the &c. @. d." sent by
his wireless operator not one word
from him was received up to the time
the Titanic sank bow foremost into
the ocean.

Although S66 are reported to be on

OF them are not passengers, for it was

How many of the crew were as

conjecture. A similarity unsettled mat

the names OF survivors obtained are

Not a Word From Titanic.
After the first desperate calls of the
Titanic for help had been sent flying
through space and brought steamers
for hundreds of miles around speeding
to the scene, what seems to have been
an impenetrable wall of silence was
raised between her and the anxious
world.
The giant liner, it seems, went to
her fate without so much as whisper
Of what must have been the scenes
of terrible tragedy enacted on her
decks
In the lack of even a line from
a survivor, imagination pauses be-
fore even trying to conjecture what
passed as the inevitable became
known and it was seen that of the
more than 1000 human lives with
which she was freighted there could
be hope of saving, as 1T appears, far
less than a half.
Greatest Marine Horror.
Other than the news that 500 per-
sons had been rescued from the liners
boats by the Cunarder Carpathia,
hours passed without word as to the
board at the time of the fateful crash.
Along the entire Atlantic coast
wireless instruments were attuned to
catch from any source the slightest
whisper of hope that possibly on one
of the many steamships which rushed
to the assistance of the stricken Titan
of the seas were other survivors of
the sunken vessel.
But from none Of the ships reported
to be at or near the scene Of what
viewed in the light Of the probabili-
ties, may be recorded as the worlds
greatest marine horror, came the slight
est syllable of encouragement.
At first there was hope that any
moment might bring word of cheer.
But anxiety deepened and many
friends and relatives Of those who
sailed on the Titanic began to despair
as hour after hour passed without
word from either of the Allan liners,
Partisan or Virginian, believed to be,
with the exception of the Carpathia,
the vessels nearest the Titanic's ocean
burial place when she made her
plunge.
Buried Two Miles Under Sea.
The Titanic herself lies buried two
miles beneath the oceans surface,
midway between Sable island and
Cape Race. Her position when she
struck the iceberg was given as lati-
tude .46 north, longitude SOFA west.
False news and false hopes and an
international belief that the palatial
Titanic was practically unsuitable,

The Phoenix does not publish unsign-

belives there is food for thought in the
following from "One Who Cares:
MY heart was deeply touched upon
reading the item in your paper of last
week concerning the four boys who
were sent to Newfane Jail.
"A spirit kindred to that manifested
by some manufacturers in the large
cities, which has been so deeply deplor-
ed by those with brotherly love in their
hearts, must possess one who can bring
to town laborers of any class or age and
never give a thought to the manner in
which they may be obliged to live. Even
If the record Of the poor young lads in
question had been Objectionable in the

better way Of living in their new home

CROSBY RECEPTION
ATTENDED BY 800
Next Representative Greeted by
Crowd at Brooks House
Support Pledged by Men Of All Political
PartIes-Remarks by Host Applauded
and Refreshments Served.

Fully 800 voters attended the reception
rendered by Representative elect E. c.
Crosby in the parlors of the Brooks
House Monday evening and extended
their congratulations because of his VIC
tory at the polls last week. From 7.30
until after 10 o'clock the parlors were
fefowded with voters of all parties. The
Progressives were out in force. but Re-
publicans and Democrats were there to
proffer their support to Mr.. Crosby for
what he might plan to do for the town
in the coming session of the legisala-
ture. Mr.. Crosby spoke a few minutes,
outlining his ideas, and buffet lunch
con was served and cigars were passed.
Leitsinger's orchestra began playing at
73O o'clock and about that time the
voters began coming. Mr.. Crosby stood
at the door, welcoming his guests and
shaking hands with everyone. Cigars
were lighted and men stood around
in groups and the great questions of
politics were discussed About $50 o'clock
luncheon was served and at S.45 Charles
r. Crosby stepped forward and intro
duced the representative elect. He said
that 40 years ago his father, Edward
Crosby, represented Brattleboro in the
legislature, and that it gave him great
pleasure to introduce his brother, who
really needed no Introduction to the
voters of the town.
Representative elect Crosby spoke but
few minutes. He said he had lived in
Brattleboro practically all his life, having
come here from Marlboro, his native
Atown, when ne was two years old with
bis parents. He laughingly said that he
could not remember that, but his first
distinct memories dated from the age of
hve years. From then on he said ne
remembered always being deeply in
terested in the welfare of the town. He
explained that he was somewhat sur
prised when he learned that he had
been elected at the freemen's meeting,
but that he intended to do all in his
power for Brattleboro's welfare. He
brought forth applause when he said
that now that election was over all
differences should be dropped and that
he represented the whole town. He
promised to use his best judgment in
an endeavor to uplift the state and pro-
mote the welfare of the whole people.
Since his election, Mr.. Crosby said,
many persons had asked him how he
stood on certain measures, but to these
queries he had made no reply. He spoke
of me. towns start in the right direction
foFfGure growth and said 1t was better
situated than many other places because
Of the railroad facilities that soon would
be ours. The moral tone of the COM
munity is right, business is good
and the outlook for the future is bright
Thanking his friends he again promised
TO serve them to the best of his ability
Loud applause marked the close Of
his remarks. Then Mr. Crosby added
that two things Of Importance to the
town probably would be brought before
. the legislature this year-the extension
~of the village limits and the revision of
the village charter. He promised to DO
the best he could on these measures.
