New York April 16 Yesterday's
report that there was no loss of life
dri the Titanic was erroneous. The
Titanic sank at 2:20 Monday morning
three hours and fifty-five minutes after
hitting the iceberg the death list Is
now believed to be 1400.
This morning's wireless brought the
news that apparently all the wives and
children of famous men aboard hr.d
been saved but not one word was
there to show that any notable man
had escaped. Alfred G. Vanderbilt re-
ported yesterday on the Titanic was
not aboard the ill-fated vessel.
Thie Carpathia arriving at daylight
the first rescue vessel on the scene
reports by wireless that scores of life-
boats containing mostly women and
children were all the traces of the
Titanic that could be discovered.
A meagre wireless description says
many of the passengers had retired
Just before the crash. Scores were
hurdled into life boats scantily clad.
Huge quantities of water filled with
ice made it almost Impossible for the
life boat crew to prevent them cap-
sizing. Large pieces of floating ice
separated the boats giving a faint
hope that the Carpathia may not have
found all. Spectators assert that Ibe
Titanic in the final plunge carried
down hundreds.
In New York society and famous
people are besieging the .steamship
offices either in person or by te e-
phone seeking news of relatives sad
friends who were passengers on the
Titanic.
The steamers Californlan and Vir-
ginian arriving later in the day where
the Titanic sank searched for sur-
vivors. There is hope that the Vir-
ginian may have survivors aboard.
The money loss is nearly $20000-
000 half on the ship and half on its
cargo and passengers' effects.
Practically all hope was abandoned
bf any survivors except those aboard
the Carpathia when shortly before 10
o'clock tbis morning a steamer known
to be in search where the Titanic was
sunk reported by wireless that she
bad no survivors.
The survivors aboard the Carpathia
number 866.
Yesterday's reports that all were
saved were probably due to messages
sent from the Titanic immediately
after the collision while hope was still
high.
Not until last night did any vessel
with sufficiently powerful wireless ap-
paratus to flash the news learn the
extent of the disaster.
Among the known survivors on the
Carpathia is the bride of John Jacob
Astor who was Miss Madelaine Force.
Bruce Is may president of the Inter-
national Mercantile Marine which
owned the Titanic is among the sur
vivors on the Carpathia
Capt. E. J. Smith commander of the
Titanic went to his watery grave with
his vessel. That he and hiB crew rig-
idly enforced the unwriten law bf the
sea is shown by women and children
being first placed in life boats which
is indicated by the few names of men'
rescueed in the list of the Carpathla's
survivors sent by wireless.
In all marine tragedies the Titanio
was the first ship sunk on her maiden
voyage. .
Heavy fogs are reported today off
New Foundland Banks with a heavy
thunderstorm which traveled eastward
last night. Such weather conditions
leave little hope for the rescue of any
survivors still f.drift on rafts or in
life boats. t
The Carpathia wired New York this
morning that she would select this
port rather than some nearer harbor
on account of the great quantities of
ice. The Carpathia was then in a field
of ice twenty miles in diameter con-
taining several icebergs.
The Parisian onV of the steamers
on which rescue hopes were pinned
reached wireless communication this
forenoon reporting no survivors
aboard. The Virginia which carried
even higher hopes merely wired that
she arrived on the scene of the dis-
aster too late to be of service and
that she (the Virginian) is preceding
on her way to Liverpool.
Millet the famous painter may be
among the saved as a name resem-
bling his was wired from the Car-
pahtia. A message from the Cape Race wire-
less station seems to indicate that a
large majority of the men who were
on the Titanic went down with the
ship. The Carpathia messages picked
up at Cape Race say all the boats
launched by the Titanic have been
accounted for and that these boats
were filled mostly by women but with
a sufficient number of the crew to
man them.
The steamer Parsean ploughed
through much heavy ice in searching
for survivors and also she sighted
much floating wreckage covering a
large area. She did not sight one liv-
ing person or even a dead body.
The loss of life at noon was esti-
mated at about 1350.
Searching steamers reported th
weather so cold that even if they had
clung to bits of wreckage the sur-
vivors in the open sea would hare
perished.
Search for Survivors Abandoned.

New York April 16. All search for

THE HAM REVIVAL
T
At the afternoon meeting of chil
dren a Junior choir was organized with
nearly one hundred voices. The jun-
iors will be on band and sing every
night.
Last night the tent was filled with
people who had come to hear the
evangelist. The best of order was pre
served and after a lively song service
the preacher continued his Sunday
night theme on "Self-Sacrifice." He
spoke at length on how members of
the churches suffer in order to be
worldly while they let any trifle keep
them from their religious duty. He
spoke plainly and told the people that
many of them were in the church with-
out knowing Christ in salvation. He
calls a spade a spade but he is so
much in earnest that the people are
not offended by it. He condemns sin
and worldliness in no uncertain terms.
His solos have become quite a fea-
ture in the meeting. No one will soon
forget the impression made by bis
singing when the lights went out last
night. "
A large audience met at 10 o'clock
this morning and a gracious service
was held. -
