NO RECORD OF
EVANS FAMILY
ON LUS|TAN|A
Cunard Line Booked No People
by That Name from
Harrison.

Although it has been reported sew
eral times that Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam Evans and two children, of Har-
rison, were passengers on the Lusi-
tania, it was impossible today to
learn positively that this family did
sail. Cunard Line officials said to-
day they have no record of such a
family sailing.
1t was believed that mistake had
been made and that Richard Evans
and family, of 2S4 Kearny avenue,
Kearny, was the family referred to.
Mrs. Evans said today neither her
husband nor herself had any intention
of sailing, but she had been told n
family named Evans, who lived in
Davis street, Harrison, had sailed.
This latter family Is the one that
has been referred to as having sailed,
and relatives of some of the Kearny
people who were on the Lusitania
were authority for the statement that
the Evans family had sailed. 1t was
learned today that a family named
Evans had formerly resided on Davis
street, but moved O short time ago
That he has given up hope of re-
| covering the body of his wife was
stated by Assemblyman Ogden III.
Hammond, of Bernardsville, is a
cablegram received today by his sis
ter, Mrs Louis A. Starr. The HAM
monds were passengers on the Lusi-
tania.
Hammond Nurse on Titanic.
Mrs. Starr is taking care of the
two little motherless Hammond
children. 1t is a peculiar coincidence
that O. former nurse of the children,
Miss Elizabeth Burns. g. former New
ark girl, was on the Titanic when it
sank. She was rescued and entered
the Hammonds' employ almost inn
mediately afterward. For more than
two years she remained with them,
and about a year ago she went
West.

The names of several Jerseyites
who were aboard the Lusitania and

Paterson; Miss Grace French, of Pas
sale, and Walter Pete, OF Jersey City.
Mrs. Logan and Miss French are re-
ported among the rescued. Mr.. Pete

The only word received in West
Hudson from England today was a
cablegram to Samuel Hume, of Chest
nut street, Arlington. A relative Of
Mr.. Hume informed him he could find
no trace of the body of Mrs. Hume,
