All they could get bv wireless was L)ie fac that the Carpathia, which left New York on April 13 for the Mediterranean was retracing her course to this port -bringing here the women and children v 'ho were widowed and orphaned sy the disaster. The Marconi stations were striding also to eet in touch with either the Carpathia or the Allan liner Yirguiiaii to find out if all of the rescued-"wer* on board the Carpathia or whether the. Virginian carries otheis that were saved. But the Marconi people were unsuccessful and it is not known whether Che Virginian transferred all cf those she picked up to the Carpathia of the Cunard line. The latest news was that the Carpathia had started for New York. She should reach here some time tomorrow afternoon The tenor of all the wireless messages that reached here late last night was that the Titanic sank before the steamships that had heard her call Itor help could get tc her. It seemed clea* that Captain Smith and his officers had lowered the women ar.d children and some of the men in the small boats, but that meat of the men passengers as well as the crew perished with the going down of the shtp.

New York, April 16The greatest marine disaster in the history of the world occurred last Sunday night when the Titanic of the White Star line, the longest and finest of steamships, shattered hersalf against an iceberg and sank with 1,500 of hepassengers and crew in less than four hours. Out of nearly 2.200 people that she carried only 67r> were saved and most of these were women and children. They were picked up from small beats by the Cunarder Carpathia. which found, wnen phe ended her desrperate race against time, a sea strewn with the wreckage of the lost ship and the bodies of drowned men and women. Among the 1,220 passengers of the giant liner were Colonel Jchn Jacob Astor and his wife. Isidor Straus, Major Archibald J. Putt, aid^ to President Taft; Oeorgo \V. Widener and Mrs. Widener of Philadelphia; Mr. a n i Mrs. Henry S. Harper, William T. Stead, the London journaUst, and many more whose names are known on both sides of the Atlantic. The news that few besides women and children were Eaved has caused the greatest apprehension as to the fate of tlie8e When the Titanic plunged headlong against a wall of ice at 10-40 p. m on Sunday night her fate established that no modern ship is unsinkable and that all of a large passenger list cannot be saved in a liner's small boats. The White Star line believed that the Titanic was practical'?invulnerabje and insisted, until there was no doubting the full extent of the catastrophe, that she could not sink. The great ship was the last word in modern scientific construction, but she found the o^ean floor almost as nnicklv as a wooden ship.
