WASHINGTON". April 17. President
Taft made public today cablegrams re
reived from the King and Queen of
Kngland and the King of Belgium, con
veying their sympathies to the Ameri
can people In the sorrows which have
followed the Titanic disaster. The
entertained hopes that their father
might be among the rescued. It is un
derstood that Mr. Warren carried acci
dent Insurance of $50,000.
The wife and daughter of Herman
Klaber. the other Portland man who is
believed to have perished, are in Sacra
mento, where Mrs. Klaber' s folks live.
They do not expect to come to Port
land so long as there Is some hope that
Mr. Klaber may have been saved. The
office of Klaber. Wolf & Netter, liop
dealers, in the Worcester building, yes
terday failed to receive any additional
Intelligence.
Other Portland persons who had rela
tives on the hapless leviathan of the
Atlantic are anxiously awaiting the
first detailed report from the Carpathia.
through which they hope to learn of
the fate of their loved ones. The seem
ing delay of the Carpathia in getting
into communication with the world is
extremely distressing to those who are
expecting personal news from her.
Even the telegraphic reports that
may be contained In the newspapers
following the arrival of the, rescue ship
in port will not satisfy those whose
dear ones are on board. They must
Tiear they story direct from their own
Hps. That Is the reason that Mr. Watt,
who lives at 1S9 East Fourteenth
street, telegraphed his wife and daugh
ter to change their plans and hasten
to Portland Instead of visiting In the
East, as they first Intended.
A requiem high mass will be cele
brated this morning at 10 o'clock at St.

faint possibility that the list of sur

i nt ii mat one new name came
through late today In a private message
irom ine larpathla was the basis of
what was a desire more than a hope
that there were slips enough In her
wireless list to account for a few of
those unaccounted for. At tbe bext.

only an occasional one whose safety
had not been reported.
From the Carpathia. which was ap
proximately tSO'l miles from New York
this morning and which is expected. If
he keeps up her rate of progress of
13 knots an hour, to reach the entrance
of tbe harbor about 8 o'clock tomor
row night, came a new report In the
course of the day as to the number of
survivors on board.
Through the Cunarder Franconla.
which established wireless communica
tion with the rescue ship came a mes
sage which Included this statement:
-She baa a total of 705 survivors
aboard."
Crew .'Hay Be Omitted.
The previous statement from the Car
pathia had been that she carried SSS
urvlvors. It may bo that the re
port received through the Franconla
Included a count of rescued passengers
only, disregarding the loo or more
members of the crew who must have
been In the boats which the Carpathia
picked up.
Communication was being had with
the Carpathia tonight through both the
scout cruiser and the shore wireless
station at Fiasoensctt. Through the
Chester, there began coming slowly, the
names of the saved passengers from
the third cabin of the Titanic.
The very sending of these could but
help confirm the belief that there were
no more names of first and second cabin
passengers to .end. And thus there
was left hardly a possibility that the
names of well-known men such as John
J-eob Astor. William T. Stead. Tsldor
Straus and other notables, could have
been omitted In the transmission of
names.

Titanic IMsa.-trr AVI 1 1 Have Little
Bearing on Summer Exodus to
Europe I Opinion.
NEW TOF.K. April 17. The dls
aster to the Titanic has tbns far had
nc effect so far as curtailing sea
travel ia concerned, according to the
steamship companies, and they believe
that It will have no material bearing
on the Summer rush or vacation lour
sts. which haa already begun, but
which does not reach Its maximum un
til the latter part of May.
Some of the larger companies as
matter of fact are Just now experi
encing a contrary effect, an addition
to their normal bnslness. for each of
hem has had Its generous quota of
hose who had planned to leave the
shores on the new White Star liner.
The conviction that the disaster
would lead to few If any cancellations
In booking was expressed by General
I.ulgi Solari. one of the officials of
the Italian lines, who lost several
friends on the Titanic.
"The public will soon forget the Ti
tanic." he said sadly. "Everywhere It
Is the same. My nation has already
forgotten the. disaster of Messina. Tou
have forgotten San Fr lclsco. The Re
public disaster was forgotten. Every
day you read of railroad wrecks, but
the people swarm to the trains every
day as though there were no such
things as wrecks on the rail. Don't
you think it will be much the same
with this disaster of the sea?"
President's responses to both messages
were, made public.
The following was the cablegram
from King George, dated at Sandring
ham: "The Queen and I are anxious to as
sure you and the American Nation of
the great sorrow which we experience
at the terrible loss of life that -haa oc
curred among the American citizens as
well as among my own subjects by tha
foundering of the Titanic. Our two
countries ar so Intimately allied by
tics of friendship and brotherhood that
any misfortunes which affect tbe one,
must necessarily affect the other and
on the present terrible occasion tly
are both equally sufferers."
Natloaa Share Grief.
President Taft'a reply waa aa fol
lows:
"In the presence of the. appalling
disaster to the Titanic, thn people of
the two countries are brought Into
community of grief through their com
mon bereavement. The American people
share In the sorrow of their kinsmen
beyond the sea. On behalf of my peo
ple I thank you for your sympathetic
message.
The message from King Albert, of
Belgium was as follows:
"I beg your excellency to accept my
deepest condolences on the occasion of
the frightful catastrophe to tne 11
tanlc which has caused such mourning
in the American Nation."
The President's acknowledgment fol
Iowa:
I deeply appreciate your sympathy
with my fellow countrymen who nave

Captain Said to IXavo Criticised
Poller That Regarded LI To-Saving
Feature as Incidental.
CHICAGO. April 17. Captain Kdward
J.' Smith, of the Titanic, believed that
the steamship waa not properly
equipped with lifeboats and other life
saving apparatus, and protested with
out success against the lack of precau
tions, according to Glenn Marston, a
friend of the captain.
Marston said that while returning
from Europe on the Olympic in com
pany with Captain Smith, he remarked
on the small number of lifeboats car
ried by such a large passenger boat.
It was then, according to Marston, that
Captain Smith spoke of the life-preserving
equipment of the Titanic, then
in course of construction, being lim
ited. Marston quoted Captain Smith as
saying he thought the lack of equip
ment for saving lives was not due to a
desire of the owners to save money, but
rather because they believed their
ships to be safe. Lifeboats were
thought to be required. . the caotatn
said, only In cases in which passen
gers were to be brought from other
ships in distress, or passengers were
to be landed.
"It was the captain's opinion." said
Marston. "that enough boats and rafts
should be carried to lnsuro safety to
every passenger in case of an accident.
BOGUS REPORT DENOUNCED
(Contlnuxl Irom First Page.)
HALIFAX. N. F., April 17. (Special.)
The Allan liner Parisian which was
off this harbor since morning came up
tonight when the weather cleared.
Captain Haines can tell nothing of the
Titanic disaster. He had no Intimation
of It until Monday morning about 4
o'clock, when it was given him by the
Osian, that had taken in tow the dis
abled Deutschland, which the Parisian
already had been trying to pick up.
The only communication the Parisian
had with the Titanic was on Sunday
night at 10:30, when the Parisian was
In touch with her about 150 miles off
and had asked her to relay a message
to the Allan line in Montreal. ' This
message was "accepted and doubtless
was forwarded.
The Parisian's operator then went to
bad and when the fateful call for help
came from the Titanic not long after
wards it fell on space so far as the
Parisian was concerned and the Allan
liner knew nothing of the awful affair
until two hours after it was all over,
and when she was fully 150 miles west
of the scene of its occurrence, which
she had passed 12 hours before. J
"The shirs nearest to the disaster ,
then were the Californian and Carpa
thia. There were Icebergs in hundreds
and we met the Carpathia some time
before we told them' of the course we
had come and they did the same thing
for us. each hauling up on her course
said CaDtain Haines. "Many cross mes
sages were obtained afterward bearing
on the disaster, but none of these was
mentioned bv the Parisian s master,
for he said it would be a violation of
the rules.
"Thev would add nothing, however,
to what you have in the newspapers
that vou give me." added the captain,
who declined to make any comment on
the loss of the Titanic, other than to
say the liner could not have struck:
bead-on. but sideways, Inflicting much
more terrible damage than the mere
smashing of the forward bulkheads.
It is a remarkable thing that th
only men on the Parisian who knew of
the accident to the 'iitanio were ine
captain and the Marconi operator.
None of the officers besides those two
and not a single passenger knew that
the Titanic was lost till they entered
Halifax harbor and learned the news

think It the best blood medicine In tha
world. I take It both spring and fall.
This last winter and spring I was in
very poor health. I was weak and had
lost all my appetite and I was all run

Hood's Sarsaparilla my strength came
back and my appetite returned. I am

To the Republican Voters of Oregon:
A few of the papers of the state would make it appear that the Cor
rupt Practices Act waa being violated by some one in my behalf. I
want to say that I know nothing about any violation and do not ap
prove of It. I have been making a diligent search for the purported
literature since last Friday, but up to this time no one has been able
to make the exhibit that I call for. I have come to the conclusion
that some one Is either trying to fool Mr. Olcott or has manufactured
this canard to" attract attention. I have always had the reputation of
conducting a clean campaign. I am confident of winning this fight,
for I am aware of the fact that the people of the State of Oregon rec
ognize my ability to conduct the office in a thorough, businesslike way
on account of my ten years' experience as County Clerk of Multnomah
County, and they also recognize in me the yonly true REPUBLICAN
who Is a candidate for the office. They are also aware of the fact that
Mr. Olcott contributed $1550.00 to the defeat of a Republican nominee.
I claim first my ability to conduct' the office of Secretary of State equal
to any opponent, my loyalty to the Republican party far superior and
my experience much greater. It Is hardly necessary for me to warn the
voters regarding the last-hour attacks that unscrupulous papers or
persons might make. My large acquaintance and long service for Mult
nomah County are sufficient to show the untruthfulness of It. I am
willing to leave the result to the voters. (Paid Advertisement.) -
