NEW YORK, April 17. Every effort
to facilitate the landing of the Titan
ic's survivors when the Carpathia
docks at her pier on th North River
tomorrow aight or early Friday morn
ing will be made by the immigration
and customs authorities, officials of
the Cunard line and ' the New York
police.
The plans were made known in vi
rious announcements tonight and pro
vide for the fullest protection of the
survivors and their relatives from in

newspaper representativs until they
have left the Cunard pier.
Customs regulations, It was announ
ced, would be suspended and all aliens
among the survivors would be dis
charged immediately by the immigra

relatives as soon as they left the ship,
although such as might desire would
be taken to Ellis Island and cared for.
The Cunard officials announced they
woul permit on the pier only friends

the company's offices. No photograph
ers of the press they state, will be ad
mitted and the police will rope off a
large space outside the pier to keep
back curious crowds.
Although Government officials have
signified their willingness to allow
newspaper representatives and rela

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

the third class survivors In the city's
municipal lodging houses. Those in

of the Titanic are safe on the rescue
ship.

The boat when it struck the rocks
turned around, blocking the channel,

came through the canal was froced
to wait until a boat from Portland ar
rived and towed the Undine into deep
water. The boat was not harmed, and
the passengers were not in the least
alarmed.
Several of the passengers were row

to the boat. J. R. Rockford of Port

said that the best of order prevailed
and no one was alarmed for the .boat
was so fast upon the rocks, even if
it had been damaged it would have
been impossible for it to go down.
The pilot in trying to make a half

.PROPOSITION HAS ITS DRAWBACKS

And Have Nothing But Praise
For Their Hosts Report
To Be Made
The proposition to divide Clackamas
into two counties was discussed at a
meeting of a committee of the Oregon
City Commercial Club and the Esta
cada Comercial Club at a conference
in Estacada Wednesday. As was ex
riApted -nothine definite was decided
! upon. Many residents of the Eastern
end of the county favor seceding on
the ground that it would be advant
ageous to Clackamas County and the
part which desires to have an inde
pendent government. The advocates
nf mmtir division sav that, the county
seat is too far from their section of
i the county, and that the formation of
' a new county with Estacda as the
' county seat, would not only be more
convenient, but would save that sec
1 of monev. While
the Oregon. City Comercial Club, as
yet, has not opposed the proposition,
it will not favor it until arguments
are produced showing that a division
would be advantageous.
B. T. McBain, President of the Ore
gon City Commercial Club; O. D, Eby,
William Sheahan, T. J. Gary, George
Randall, L. Adams, Major C. S. Noble,
M. J. Lazelle, J. E. Jack, Iivy Stipp,
W. L. Mulvey and C. G. Huntley were
the membrs of the committee which
went to Estacada.
Two enthusiastic meetings were
held in Estacada. The first meeting
was called to order at 3 o'clock and
adjourned at 4, after one hour of argu
ment on the part of the Cascade mis
sionaries. The Power House at River
Mill station was visited and the Ore
son City committee made a thorough
examination of it from bed rock to
crest of the dam..
The second meeting was called to
order at 8 o'clock after an excellent
repast at the Estacada Hotel. Plates
were laid for fifty and it is safe to say
Oregon City's committee of twelve
secured its share, it not more, of the
good things both wet and dry.
After another hour of interetsing
end instructive talks by Messrs. Bel
fils and Bartlett for. Estacada and
Messrs. Sheahan, Huntley, Noble and
Eby for Oregon City the meeing ad
journed. All agreed that the plan wasa good
proposition for Erxada and that Es
tacada is certainiy a royal host.
The report to the home club will he
made next Tuesday.
