It Is tho state'B Intention to rush

Refusal of tho dam owners to

caused bitter resentment on tho part

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
