It Is tho state'B Intention to rush construction work, supplying the funds with the lien as security. With tho construction of this flshway, the trouble of tho fish In ascending the stream will bo over. Tho attempt to dynamite tho struc ture was discovered Tuesday by W. P. Smith, watchman of tho dam. In vestigation made by Receiver George Soranson disclosed a nolo four by five feet In slzo In tho plank toolng, about 10 feet from tho south side, permitting a largo volume of water to pour through, under tho dam and through tho cribbing, which may eventually carry out that portion of tho structuro. Refusal of tho dam owners to construct a permanent flshway has caused bitter resentment on tho part of fishermen toward tho structure and it is presumed tho attempted demolition was tho rc-bult.

White Star Officials Have No News Further of Wreck Scores leg for News at Offices. NEW YORK, April 17. Bitter de nuncintion of J. Ilrnee Ismny, a man aging director of the White Stnr line and of his company was voiced hero today by hundreds of the relntivp and friends of those who were lost on the Titanic. "Why did not Ismny stay with tho ship and ro down like n man?" was the frequent criticism of, the victims' friends who angrily denounced Ismny as responsible for tho White Stnr'.i secretive tactics and the failure of the Cnrpathia to send news of th wreck. This denunciation was in creased to red hot pitch today when the White Star, after issuing, a sun, pleraentary list of the rescued and announcing that it had been received by wirelesH, Inter denied that it was so received. Ismny's presence on the Cnrpathin is believed' to be thcrwle reason that this vessel, which carries the mir vivors of tho srent disaster, has ao far failed to send one illuminative, word of the fearful scenes which must have been enacted when the Ti tanic sank. His taking to the boats with the women nnd children is heiu'g scored on all sides. A'.kine; for news, which is consist ently denied, crowds of weeping for eigners crowded the third class of fices of tho Whito Star line today. The scenes as they begued for news of their loved ones, were heart-rend ins:, men, women and children, giv ing way to the wildest emotion. At the first class office tho scenes, thoueh more restrained, wore eqnnlly touching. Hut to immigrant nnd mil lionaire alike, the White Star gave out the one reply "No news." That J. I'ierpont Morgan, junior, knew of the sinking of tho Titanio Monday, and forced suppression of the news until the stock market closed was positively denied here today by I'. A. Franklin, vice president of tho White Star company, of which Mor gan is a director. Vice President Franklin of tho Whito Star line insisted that charges that the company purposely withheld news of tho wreck were false. Mo said ho only hoard at 0:30 o'clock Monday nixht that the Titanio hud sunk and withheld the news only until he could set confirmation. He posi tively denied that ho kilew of the dis aster Monday niomintr. E IS' WASHINGTON', April 17.

Tho Whito Star Hue officials be llevo that the message of Captain Decker of tho Chester to the navy department means that only tUoe first and second class pawwigers whose names have ulready bees (pub lished were saved from the Titanic) that tho others aboard the Carpathla are steerage passengers, If this Interpretation la tru, ikr la no further hope for the sfty &t the noted men and wewwa wha aitH are nilsalng.
