MEN CO TO DOOM TO SAVE WOMEN (Continued from pane 1) Unit It was expected that the Titanic would I towed safely Into port A detailed explanation for this action has not been forthcoming, the offi cios at the same time admitting they know the Titanic had foundered sev eral hours before the public announce ment was made. Company officials attempted to de fend their action by saying they did not feel justified in alarming the world until positive confirmation had been receiving or one of the steamers car lying the Burvlvors had docked. Reports received here today Indi cated that male passengers, mill ionaire and peasant alike, went to their doom like men. The publication of the list of survivors, now steaming to New York aboard the Carpathla, shows there nas no class distinction, the women In the teerage being giv en the same chances as the wives of tha mllltonnlra In the first cabins. The women and children that Is, all that could be cared for were transferred to the vessels standing by. The men remained on the Titanic to die. The rnnouncement received here last night that the Titanic had found ered and that there "probably would be loss of life" brought thousands of persons from the theatres and rest aurants, where relatives of passeng ers were .celebrating their supposed escape from death. When the extra editions were put on the street tell ing of the catastrophe, the gay parties In the amusement places immediately became silent and hurried to the steamship offices for official Informa tion. The worst fears were there ver tried. One of the first to arrive at the Wlilte Star offices was Vincent Astor whose father, Colonel John Jacob As tor. the New York millionaire, is be lieved to have met death, He arrived with A. J. Biddle, the Philadelphia banker, who is Colonel Astor's busi ness representative. Astor conferred for halt an hour with Vice-President Franklin and when he came out of the office he was weeping. He was as sisted to an automobile and rushed to his New York home. PORTLAND WOMEN IE FRANK M. WARREN, SR., AND HER MAN KLABER THOUGHT TO HAVE PERISHED FATE OF I. COOFMAK IS IN DOUBT Telegrams From New York Announce That Mrs. Warren Is Safe Son And Daughter Go East PORTLAND, Airll 16. (Special.) A few rifts of welcome tidings have penetrated the vast pall of gloom that had settled over a number of Port land families when the full purport of Sunday night had burst upon them at the news of the Titanic's destruc tion. It is almost certain that all of the Portland passengers on board the lin er, with the exception of Frank M. Warren, Sr., ana Herman tviaoer, are omnnir tViA Rurvivnrg now on board the rescue ship, Carpathla. The other local people, all or tnem women auo. children, have been heard from in directly as among those saved. At the same-time there Is some ques tion regarding the safety of I. Coff man, his wife and two children, Leon aged 5, and Leazo, aged 3, who are supposed to have taken passage on the Titanic. They sailed from Liver pool, April 10, and consequently are believd to have been In the wreck. H. L. Adler, of 229 Hooker street, this city, is a brother of Mrs. Coffman, and be says he had a letter from the Coff mans only a day or two ago saying they were on their way home from a two-vi?ar tour of Europe and that they would sail April 10. That would would mean they took the Titanic as she was the only westbound steamer leaving that port on that day. Up until Monday night It had been only cheering reports as to the big steamer's fate that filtered into Port land spasmodically, but, with an in effable shock, early last evening, came news telling of the total loss of the Titanic, the most frightful marine ca taclysm in the history of the world. Shortly after this came a telegram to the F. M. Warren family from friends in New York, that Mrs. War ren had been rescued, but there was no word concerning Mr. Warren's fate. On the first train leaving for the East, George Warren, one of the sons, hurried for New York, and he was followed this morning by his sis ter. Miss France Warren. They will meet their mother in New York and continue the quest of news of their father until he is located or all hope of his safety is gone. 1 WORTH HALF BILLION NEW YORK April 15 Seven men with fortunes aggregating fbOO.OOO.OOO are thought to have been )vt with the Titanic.

The weath er signal station on the Gulf of St. Lawrence reported today that heavy fogs lay off Nova Scotia and that neighborhood last night and is trav eling eastward. It was said that such conditions left little hope for the rescue of any sur vivors of the Titanic that might still be adrift in rafts or boats. The Allan Line has issued the fol lowing fctatement: "We are in receipt of a Marconi message via Cape Race, from Captain Gambell, of the Virginian, saying he arrived on the scene of the disaster too late to be of service, and is pro ceeding on his voyage to Liverpool." A wireless message received here says that Charles M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Railway, is among the survivors aboard tbe Carpathla. His wife and daughter already had been reported saved.

BY INTERFERENCE BOSON. April 17. At Sable Island communication with the Carpatnla is greatly hampered by the maze of wireless flashes that are being sent out by the fleet of steamships dotting the ocean, all seeking news oi me Titanic disaster. Apparently not until the Carpathla cets out of range of these ships will anything filter through. Operators at the more lmpotant ulreless Millions In New Eneland. and especially in Boston, are complaining hlterly of interference oy amateurs For the last 48 hours the amateurs hnv kent un a constant succession ot sparks and they succeeded In pre venting the Charlestown Navy Yard station from obtaining even a scrap of the much desired information from the ships near the Titanic. A list recently compiled enumerates mnro thnn 300 amateur operators with in 20 miles of the Boston State House who have announced their code sig nals. it u rhIiI that an association is be ing perfected whereby messages will be taken for transmission between towns and cities in Eastern Massa chusetts by these amateurs. The operators of the larger machines Hrrlnm that this nractlcally nuts them out of business at times when their work is most needed, vnrinns radiograms received here today showed that several vessels are within wireless range, eitner airecuy -r by one relay, with the Carpathla. Tho nntwnnl-bound Boston steam ship Franconlo was in communication with the Carpatnla at a, m. Tho scour cruiser Chester said sne expected to sight the Carpathia at noon. The scout cruiser Salem announced the would stop off Nantucket Light ship during the forenoon and relay messages from tne cnesier 10 snore stations. 50,000 HOMELESS NEW ORLEANS, April 16. Parts of the 13 parishes in Northeastern Louisiana are facing a deluge unparal leled in the history of disastrous floods of the lower Mississippi Val ley. Many towns In east Carroll ond Madison parishes, have been wiped out, vast stretches of valley lands are covered by from six to twenty fe3t of water and a wall of the flood wat ers 20 feet high and more than a mile wide Is rushing through the great Dog Tail crevasse near Al3atia, La. Thousands are homeiesse ana desti tute. What will be the toll when the waters from the Panther Forest and Red Fork crevasses in Arkansas join the water pouring through the Dog Tail breach, no one can say. Farts of 13 Louisana parishes and two Ar kansas counties will be under water, and it is estimated that the homeless in that territory will number 50,000. An area of 10 miles long and from five to eight mlb wide, will be in undated. Many negroes are reported missing. Reports of loss of lives were not been confirmed. 23,000 ENGINEERS VOTE TO GO ON STRIKE NEW YORK, April 12. By a ma jority of more than 23,000 out of 25, 000 votes cast, locomotive engineers on 50 railroads east of Chicago and north of the Norfolk & Western, have authorized a strike should further ne notlations with the railroads for In creased pay fail. The count was complete at noon, and the result announced by Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the Brother hood of Locomotive Englnneers and managers'assoclatlons of the railroads The general managers have cared a meeting here for April 15 to consider the .result. The engineers' officers have notified Stuart they would re main here for "a reasonable time" to await the counter propostio:. 'Vie original demands of the engineers for Increased pay aggregating 15 per cent recently were rejected by the rail roads. Stone announced that 93.1 per cent of the engineers had voted to author ize a strike. In hiB letter Stone asks If the rail roads have any counter proposition to make and notifies Stuart that if none is received a strike on the 50 roads is subject to call at any time. In addition to the 25,000 members of the Brotherhood, Stone said ap proximately 15.000 members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firempn also had voted. Their vote, he said, was overwhelmingly In favor of a strike. "The result speaks for itself," Stone said. "The next move Is up to the railroads." ''If the railroads do not make a coun ter proposition, will you call a strike?" he was asked. "That Is not a fair question at this time," he replied. "I cannot answer." SURVIVORS ARE DUE TODAY STORY OF GREATEST SEA TRAG EDY SOON WILL BE KNOWN TO WORLD CURIOUS CROWD TO U RESTRAINED i. steel Message Indicates That Only 323 Of 610 Cabin Passeng ers Were 8aved NEW YORK. April 17. Every effort to facilitate the landing of the Titan ic' survivors when tho Curpnthln docks ut her pier on the North River tomorrow night or early Friday morn ing will be made by ho Immigration and customs nuthoritles, officials ot ihQ Cunard lino and the New York police. The plans were made known In vi rions announcements tonight and pro vide for the fullest protection of the survivors and their relatives . from In terference from curiosity seekers and newspaper representatlvs until they have left the Cunard pier. Customs regulations, It was announ ced, would be suspended and nil aliens among the Burvlvors would be dis charged Immediately by the Immigra tion authorities to their friends and relatives as soon as they left the ship, although such ns might desire would be taken to Ellis Island and cared for. The Cunard officials announced they woul permit on the pier only friends and relatives ot the survivors, they to be admitted by a pass obtained at the company'a offices. No photograph ers of the press they state, will be ad mitted and the police will rope off a lnrge space outside the pier to keep back curious crowds. Although Government officials have signified their willingness to allow newspaper representatives and rela tives of the survivors to board the ship from revenue cutters before she reach es the dock, the Cunard officials Indi cated tonight that this privilege would not be granted. In that event the full story of the disaster, except such de tails as may be received by wlrless meanwhile, probably will not be learn ed until long after the Carpathla has docked. The White Star officials announced that arrangement had been mado by Commissioner of Immigration Will iams and Mayor Gaynor for caring for the third class survivors in the c'ty s municipal lodging houses. Those In financial dlstres or without aid from friends or relatives would be shelter ed by the city. Practically every attending circum stance in the transmission of news from the Carpathla goes to show that only 328 of the 610 cabin passengers of the Titanic are safe on the rescue ship.

IRELAND PLEASED WITH HOME RULE BILL DUBLIN, Ireland, April 12 Tho Nationalist papers of Ireland, on the whole, consider the government's home rule bill as satisfactory, although some of them profess to regard it us not being final. The Freeman's Journal described the bill us the greatest, the boldest and the most generous of the three home rule bills, and says: "We should not be surprised to see It received with hearty welcome by the IrUn party." The Irish Times, Unionist says: "The measure will prove so utter ly unworkable as to offer no nilddlo course between a complete separation from Great Hrltaln and a return to the status of the union." The Irish Independent remarks: "It would probably be correct In de scribing the bill to say that It gives us three-quarters of what we expected and probably not so large a sharo of what we demanded. The measure cannot be regaded as final." The Cork Free Press iliys: ' "Th irnvernniptil H scheme Is not a solution of the Irish problem." The Dublin evening papers printed full reports of Premier Asqulth's speech yesterday and so far as Judg ment Is posslblo before the text of the bill Is available the measure Is rpennlerl n4 unoxnectedlv favorable There is no doubt that it will be ac cepted by tho forthcoming Nationalist convention. Tho hill Is considered far better than either of Gladstone's from a legisla tive and administrative and, aoove an, a financial viewpoint. The power given to the Irish executive to appoint Judges Is a surprise, and Is greatly appreciated. OF PARLIAMENT JAILED . CHICAGO, April 12.
