NEW YORK, April 18. Tho firt
official indication thut some of the
survivors of tho Titauic wreck, may
bo in a serious condition, resulting
from exposure by being tossed about
in lifeboats before beitig rescued came
today when officials of the White
Star accepted an offer from St.
Luke's hospital to set aside its new
addition for the Titanic survivors.
It is reported here when seven of tho
survivors are insune from their ex
periences and many others seriously
ill. Tho White Star officials posi
tively refused to discuss the condition
of tho survivors.
Defies President.
Open defiance of tho president of
the United State ami flat refusal to
relieve the ugouy of suspense of
thoustiuds, of persons woro voiced to
day by J. Uruee Ismay, managing dir
ector of tho White Star line, when ho
curtly refu-ed a wireless request
from thu United States scout cruiser
Chester for details of the Titanic dis
aster.
Isiuuy's stand was reported 'o
Washington by the Chester, which
made it clear that the request to Is
may had been made in the name of
tho president. Ismay is censoring
the Carputhia's wireless for tho rea
son, it is believed, that the real story
will show thut criminal carelessness
was responsible for the deaths of the
thousand and more who went down
when thu Titanic struck.
llltterly Criticized.
Pit tor criticism of Ismuy and his
action is hourly growing in intensity
here. Not ono word of the condition
of tho Titanio's survivors has bocouio
known although uutruceublo rumors
are c unci it thut many of tho women
survivor, are verging on insanity.
It is evident that tho Carputhia's
story of tho horror will celipso any
