Boston, April 20 Officers of the British freight steamer Kasenga, which arrived from Calcutta last night, were surprised to learn of the Titanic disaster, having passed approximately over the scene within twelve hours of the White Star liner's foundering. The Kasenga Is not equipped with wireless. "We passed over that spot at noontime Monday," said Captain Skelt. "We struck the ice In north latitude 41 degrees 47 minutes, and West, longitude 48 degrees 30 minutes. In all there were about twenty-live icebergs, with a surrounding ice field, and THE TITANIC'S CREW RECEIVING CLOTHING AT THE SAILORS HOME.

i jf 'y 'U' MORE BOATS ON GERMAN SHIPS France, on Maiden Voyage, to Take Southern Course, Which Also Will Be Followed by Other Lines. Berlin, April 20 The Hamburg-American Line has been quick to draw a lesson from the Titanic catastrophe. It has decided to Increase the number of life-boats on its steamers, although they already carry more than are required by the German law, and it will also improve all life-saving appliances, so that under any circumstances every person on board can be accommodated. This has been done, although, according to the management, the German legal requirements are much more stringent than the British in regard to life-boats, and have been considered heretofore amply sufficient by the German authorities and all experts. The motion Introduced Into the Reichstag yesterday requesting the Imperial Chancellor to order an investigation as to whether German steamshipB are equipped with sufficient life-saving appliances for all the passengers and crew was considered today.

Replying to Dr. Otto Arendt, who spoke as Introducer of the motion, Clemens Dol-brueck. Minister of tbe Interior and Vice Chancellor of the Empire, said that the Government was already In communication with the big shipping companies, and would see that everything necessary and possible be done. PobIIIvo measures, however, could not be proposed before the details of the catastrophe to the Titanio had been learned. The motion was thereupon withdrawn.

Herr Delbrueck declares that he Instituted a revision of the German regulations as soon as the first details of the Titanic disaster became known and In the Immediate future will convoke a conference of the shipping companies and maritime associations. Ho says he 1b convinced that the German captains, shipping companies and constructors whose responsibility and care for the passengers and crews entrusted to them are recognized by the whole world will find ways and means to provide for everything necessary. The question as to whether International regulation of tho passenger Bteamehlp tiafflc is advisable already has b''cn discussed by the German Government and Germany Is ready to act on any proposition with this end In view. Paris, April 20 The new French Transatlantic liner France left on her maiden voyage from Havre to New York today. J.

Dal Plaz, the general manager of the French Line, who Is a passenger on the France, said that orders had been given to the captain to take the southern course, and to adopt every measure of prudence. The disaster to the Titanic, except In very few cases, has not affected the passenger list of the France. Robert Bacon, who recently resigned the of United States Ambassador to France, and Mrs. Bacon and the official French delegation to the Champlain festivities sailed on the France. The Navigation Department of the French Government declares that tha provisions of the French law in regard to lifesavlng appliances are so much more i rigorous than those of other nations that pome of the French shipping companies The government inspectors rigidly en- i force a strict observance of the regula tions as to safely appliances and the law of 1908 forces steamers to carry lifeboata and rafts in proportion to their tonnage and the number of passengers.

In the cases of steamers fitted with watertight compartments, however, the law is less strict. Removal of Coal From Two Sections Prevented Bulkheads From Holding. MAY EXPLAIN RAPfD SINKING. Firemen and Stokers Did Not Leava Posts Until Five Minutes Before Steamship Went Down. 1 A story told by members of the TI-tanlc's crew which may have a bearing In the Investigation of the rapid sinking of the ship, Is of a fire which is to have started In one of the coal bunk ers of the' vessel shortly after file leftt her dock at Southampton, and which wal not extinguished until Saturday alter- noon.

The story as told by a fireman Is i follows: "It had been necessary to take ttai coal out of sections 2 and 3 on the starboard side forward, and when the watep came rushing In after the collision with, the ice the bulkheads would not hold because they did not have the supporting weight of the coal. Somebody reported to Chief Engineer Bell that the forward, bulkhead had given way. and the engineer replie.l: 'My God, we are lost' "The engineers stayed by the pump and went down wiiti the ship. The firemen and stokers were sent on deck flvu minutes before the Titanic sank, when it was seen that they would inevitably be lost if they stayed longer at tbelr work of trying to keep the fires In the boilers and the pumps nt work. Th-3 lights burned to the last because tha dynamos were run by oil engines." The story of what Injuries wore sus tained by the Titanic In striking the lco that caused her to sink has yet to bo told nnd may forever remain a mystery.

Did the Titanic strike head on or did ome sharp, knife-like edge of a berg shear off her side or bottom. All this may yet be disclosed by the senatorial' Investigation, but nothing has been given. by any of the surviving passengers or crew In answer to these Interesting questions. Second Llghtholder says that the Titanic did not break in two, but madi her dive diagonally into the sea, and that when half under the waves there; were two explosions he believed to be the boilers. United States Senator Smith bellcvei that certain members of ihe crew that he has held here for examination may reveal Just what happened to the Tltanlo below decks when she struck tho berg.

The promised official statement of tha White Star Line not been forthcoming and there Is no Indication when it will be. Officers and crew rescued from the ill-fated Bhip have been kept under close watch and put under a deal nt silence. the sailing of a majority of the Titanlc'g crew this morning on the Lapland Borne sources of interesting Information have bean closed until tha Red Star liner reaches the other side. FLOWERS GREET MRS. SWIFT Friends Show Joy at Her Safe Return to Home in East New York.

Mrs. Fred Joel Swift, who was one of the survivors of the steamship Titanic, reached her home, 171 Arlington avenue, yesterday morning end found that many of her friends had signalized their pleas ure over her safe return by sending her flowers. There was a bunch of blooms from the members of the Fortnightly Literary Club, of which she Is president. Mrs. Swift's story of ber experience on the Titanic and her rescue was told yesterday In The Eagle In her own language.

She Is the woman who was reluctantly persunded to take a place iu Life Boat No. 8. and who rowed about the berg-filled ocean for five hours before sha was taken on hoard the Carpathia. Her example the ours incited others of tho twenty-four women who were hor fellow passengers to take a hand at rowing. They relinquished the task from weakness, but Bhe stuck to the work and thereby kept herself from freezing until the Carpathia came to their rescue.

"I feel all right this morning," Bhe said, in answer to reporter's inquiries, "but I am very short of clothing. The dress that I grabbed when the vessel struck the iceberg is ail that I have left, for my trunks and wardrobe went down with the steamer. Today I'll have to go out and buy something to wear, but I am thankful that 1 escaped the dreadful fate of so many of my fellow passengers. You know that when I loft tha Titanic I had uo Idea that sho was in danger of sinking. The horror of the awful disaster will remain with me all my life." Mrs.

Swift will preside at a breakfast of the women of the Fortnightly Library Club nest Friday, it is an annual funo-tion. and the celebration was to have taken place a week ago. but was postponed because of Mrs. Swift's absence-It in likely that the fun. lion will take on the character of a breakfast of thanks giving because of the president's safety.

Ilul there will oe a minor note to me celebration, because of the tragedy which robbed the world of so many brave people. FLOOD AREA DECREASES. Washington, April 20 Brigadier General Blxby, chief of engineers of the army, estimates that tho area of the alluvial valley of the Mississippi below Commerce, overflowed by the prevailing floods, is from one-third to one-fourth less than during tho floods of 1903. and from one-fifteenth to one-twentieth less than in 1S82-1S84, in spite of the fact that tbe water in the Mississippi is from two to four feet higher now than it was during the floods of IIWS. Tho steady reduction in territory overflowed is generally attributed to the extension and improvement of the levee system.

WILL TRANSFR LEPER COLONY. Washington, April 20 The government proposes to transfer the leper colony of the Island of Guam to the Philippines where the lepers are interned on Cullon Island. Congressional action probably will bo necessary as Controller of the Treasury Tracewell has informed the Secretary of the Navy that the appropriation for tho Guam lepers cannot be utilised for transporting them to or maintaining them In the Philippines. DEMAND AMERICANS' RELEASE. Washington, April 20 Demands have been made upon the rebel authorities at Chihuahua by American Consul Letcher for the Immediate.

Name Appeared on List of Survivors, but White Star Line Has No Explanation. No more pitiable story of tbe Titanic wreck has bcec told than that Mr Peter Sheridan of 942 Kent avenue, this borough, tearfully related today. Uncertain whether to mourn the death of her favorite niece, who was coming to her on visit, Mrs. Sheridan is almost In a state of collapse because her relative waB among the printed lists of saved ones, and yet she has been unable to find the girl, who Is only 18 years of age. Mrs.

Sheridan is a courageous little woman, for she has brought up the children of her brother and sister since they were left homeless, but the Titanic wreck Is proving a too heavy burden. When the list of survivors was announced fho name of Mies Mary D. Burns did not appear, but Miss M. G. Burns (or Mrs.) was sent by wirelesB, and it was the only Burns that appeared on the original sailing list.

Mary Burns' full name Is Mary Delia, and Mrs. Sheridan naturally presumed that the Baved list ha4 mistakenly stated M. instead of M. D. Burns, particularly since there was no other Burns on the passenger list.

"I do not know Just what to do," said Mrs. Sheridan today, when asked about the matter. "Mary was coming over here to visit me. She was the eldest of my brother's seven children In County Sl)go, and a very bright girl, for she had Just left school. Six years ago I paid a visit to the old country, and I begged my brother to let me have her, and he said: 'Wait till she is through with her schooling, Bister." I have been waiting since then, and this year I was happy.

I sent her the money to come over, sent her carefully my address, and told her I would meet her." lather in Ireland Thinks Daughter Safe Here. Mrs. Sheridan stopped for a minute in ner narauve, uie wuno nuo letter from her brother, the girl's father, which had only been received this morning. Through tears Mrs. Sheridan told how it was filled with love for his daughter, how it entrusted his daughter to her care, how it breathed of the happlneas he wished his daughter in this strange land with her aunt.

Nothing would persuade Mrs. Sheridan to read that letter to The Eagle reporter. "Then came the news of the wreck," continued Mrs. Sheridan, "and no one watched the. bulletins more anxiously or read the list of survivors with greater care than I.

Sure enough I found that Miss M. G. Burns had been saved and 1 atam knnnu Vft, ana ah. enmn nv.r thlr1 class, becauBe she had some of the County Sligo friends traveling that way. There was Margaret Devaney, her chum, ana Kane Hargacion, anoiner inena, anu then a fine young fellow, Henry Hart.

"She told her Bister that Henry, after the collision, put life belts on all three of the girls and then marched them up to the second class deck. One boat after another put off and still the girls were left behind. Finally they all got on their knees and prayed right there, telling 'the Almighty they were ready to die. Margaret says that while they were praying she was grabbed up by some man and tossed Into a lifeboat and she remembers nothing until she came to her senses on the dork the other She was bo ill she couldn't Inquire for Mary or Katie or Henry on the Carpathia.

Went to Meet Carpathia, but Wasn't Allowed on Dock. "I went to the dock to meet the Carpathia and policemen shoved me back time and again, for they wouldn't believe that I was looking for a niece. I had to go home; and here I have watted and waited for her. I don't know if she was saved or drowned. I telephoned the company, I called there, and now they say that she was probably lost.

Maybe she is in a hospital unable to talk, but I am afraid to hope so. The company officials say that the Miss Burns Baved was probably some maid who gave her name only after she had been taken aboard the Carpathia, because my niece was the only one of that name who appeared on the passenger list. I am afraid to cable my brother, and I suppose the poor father, having read the list of survivors, is happy in the thought that Mary is safe with me. I hope The Eagle will help me find her, if she is still alive." Mrs. Sheridan is well known for her church work and she is popular in St.

Patrick's Church. Father Cleary of that parish has been to sr-e her and encourage her, but she is a grief stricken woman. At the White Star Linn offices it v.a'i said that no Miss Burns appeared as having been among the survivors. The company offered no further explanation of how the name came to appear among the published and authenticated list of survivors. CHURCHES MAY UNITE.

Trinity and St. Clement's P. E. Congregations Discuss Amalgapaation. There Is some talk among several of the members of two prominent uptown Episcopal churcheB of amalgamation.

These churches are Trinity, Arlington and Schenck avenues, and St. Clement's, Pennsylvania and Liberty avenues. Trinity bas no rector, the Rev. Nelson R. Soss having resigned on accouut of ill-health.

The rector of St. Clement's is the Rev. Floyd Appleton. Mr. Appleton said today that so far as he knew there had been no meeting of Trinity Church end there had had been no meeting of his own on the matter.

Mr. Appleton said he knew there had heen some little discussion of the matter fcetween a few persons, but nothing definite had been done. He said no doubt there would be some opposition if the matter came up officially, but he had heard nothing of the nature of this opposition, for there had been no ooming together of the vestries of the churches. BAND TO PLAY "AUTUMN." SXemoritti Anthem to Be Used at Twenty-third Regiment Service. The Twenty-third Regiment annual ervice tomorrow afternoon, to be held In Dr.

Cadman's church, will have one thing on' the programme which will be reminiscent of the recent disaster to the steamship Titanic. The band will play "Autumn," the tune played by the Titanic orchestra when the big ship was sinking. "Autumn" was written, it was recalled today, as a memorial by a young woman, iMiss Helen J. Andrus of Poughkeepsie, graduate of Vassar College. It was written in memory of a man to whom Miss Andrus was engaged and who died Mddenly.

It has all of the solemnity of ehurch music, and has been most frequently played on serious occasions. No Aid From White Star Line, They Are Sullen and Hopeless. SAY SPEED WAS 221 2 KNOTS. Fireman Hogg Says They Pulled Captain Smith Out of Water, but He Went Back to Death. A sad-looking lot of men, forty In all, comprising part of the crew of the wrecked Titanic, sailed for home today on the Red Star liner Lapland.

A number of the crew were forced to remain behind, having been subpenaed to appear as witnesses in the Senatorial Inquiry that Is investigating the sinking of the Titanic. Most of the crew that sailed today were sullen. They claimed that they had received little or no help after arriving here on tbe Carpathia. "Had it not been for the Seaman's In- SURVIVORS OF stitute," said one man, "we would have gone home without shoes, and some of us even without sufficient clothes. While It was.

a good thing to collect money and find homes for the steerage passengers, It doesn't seem right that' we should be overlooked. Many of us stood by the Titanic, and did all we could to help save passengers. When the boat went down, our salary stopped. Almost without exception, the sailors in the lifeboats took off their clothes to give to the women with us. and few of us arrived here with clothes fit to wear.

But still we were forced to shift for ourselves and got nothing." This seemed to be tbe general feeling among the men. One man said that he could not get enough money to even send a message to his family in England, telling them of his safety. The men tell various stories of the wreck and rescues, but all agree the boat was going 22V4 knots an hour when it struck the iceberg. Quartermaster Sydney Humphries declared that he was positive that the speed of the boat at the time it struck was knots an hour. "It was going about as fast as It was able," he declared.

Without a single exception, the men agreed that Captain Smith refused to be rescued. "I was on a raft that was right alongside the boat when it broke in half aud went down," said A. C. Hogg, a fireman. "We pulled the skipper on with ub from out o( the water, but he Just went over the other side and started to swim back to the Titanic.

Someone said that he had a baby in his arms, but I didn't see it. That must have been before we pulled him out." Another man said he was sorry that he didn't go down with the Titanic. "The wife and little ones would then have been taken care of by the company," he 6ald. "It's pretty hard to find work now, and we've had a struggle to get along. Now I will have to go back, without money or work." Under the Workmen's Compensation Law In England the White Star Line Company will have to care for the families of the members of the crew tha-lost their lives.

They are not obliged to do anything for the families those that were saved. Contrary to general expectation, J. Bruce Ismay, the While Star official who escaped from the Titanic, did not leave for Europe today on board the Lapland. It was the plan of Mr. Ismay to hurry home on the Lapland, to meet his family and attend to business connected with the sinking of the Titanic, but the Senate Investigating Commit te interfered with this and he will remain for further quiz- zing by that Doily, as will many or ine rew of the Titanic who came in on the Carpathia.

Governor and Mrs. Dlx were among the passengers on the Lapland. They will go first to Paris, where they will meet Mrs. Dix's sister, Mrs. Curtis Douglass, and then make a tour of Holland, Germany, principally the Black Forest, and return to New York early in June.

This Is my first vacation since IfllO, said Governor Dlx, "and I feci that I need IT. I uui nuns lu ddivi nolliics lust now. Neither is the Brandt case occupying my mind. I have said all on that that I care to. But I want to renew my expressions of sympathy for the sufferers of the Titanic disaster and to commend as highly as words can do so the velor, the courage, the chivalry and the splendid manhood of those men who sacrlfied ihclr lives on that dreadful occasion that others might bo saved."

They are going at it in a manner that seems unjust, and tho injustice lies heaviest upon me.

Why. I cannot even protect myself by having my counsel ask questions. Don't misunderstand me by thinking I mean questions calculated twist witnesses up. On the contrary, questions intended to simplify involved meanings." Discussing his departure from the Titanic Mr. Ismay "I have searched my mind with deepest care.

I havo thought long over each single Incident that I could recall. I am sure that I did nothing that I should not have done. My conscience is clear, and 1 have not been a lenient Judge of my acts. "I tell you that If I thought that in the slightest, way I had done anything wrong I would never have another happy moment. I took the chance of escape when It came to me I did not Bek It.

Every woman and child had been cared for bo-fore I left the boat. "And more, all the men within reach had been taken care of before I took my turn. And why shouldn't I take my turn? There are only two classes on a ship the crew and tho passengers. I was a passenger. "It is true that I am president of the company, but I didn't consider myself any different from the rest of the passengers.

I took no other man's place." STEAMSHIPS IN PAIRS. By Such an Arrangement Aid Always Will Be on Hand, Says Chicagoan. Chicago, April 20 CharlcB R. Kremcr, one of the founders of the Chicago Yacht Club and a director of several steamship companies, advanced the plan, lust night, of having steamships travel In pairs as a means of greatly decreasing the dangers attendant on ocean travel. "The Governments of all nations should co-operate toward making a law requiring every ship carrying pasBengerB to be provided with a consort," he said.

"A solution would bo to have two rival lines run boats of the same speed close together on the same day. This would not make necessary the cutting down of the number of sailing days of each week, as would have to be done If one line was compelled to run two of Its CHICAGO MEMORIAL SERVICES.

"No sign of wreckage was noticed by any of us, biit, of course, not knowing of tho disaster, we didn't look carefully. The ice fields may have pushed any survivors or wreckage away from the place where the Titanic went down.
