New "fork, April 20.?The Titanic disaster, as written Into history today by all of the 746 survivors, ac counts for the ion 1,559 persons at sea off New Fonndland banks early Monday morning and the subsequent death Of six persons who bad been rescued, bringing the total list of lost to 1,595. These official figures magnify greatly the estimates which came by wireless. The stories survivors tell make it certain that this disaster was the 'greateest ocean travel has ever known. The facts coming to the sarface in the flood of narratives ate that 1546 persons met death; thac there is practically no hope that this {Otal will b4 curtailed by swingle additional survivor; that several merf of wealth ai*d world-wide prominence are among- thoee perished; that the only women saved are those who chose to die in their husbands embrace; that nearly all the survivors saw the Titanic gink and heard the band playing "Nearer,. My God ko Thee," amid the shrieks of those whom the sea claimed, as the vessel sank in 2,000 fathoms. The Titanic struck an Iceberg abo^t 90 feet high, which ripped the liner's sides open and made the water tight compartments useless. *; vhll?, the'veeosi was gradually sion which sent her to the bottom , One of the stirring narratives of the scenes following the oelllslon was told today by L. Beasley, a Cam unugo uuii?iiii; inu, ud? gi ioe aecoiAl cabin pa?engers. 'The steamer lay aa it waiting for orders to go on again. when aome trifling matter had been adjusted." he aald. "But In a few minutes we saw the covert lifted from the boats and crewa allotted to them standing by ready to lower them to the water Presently we heard an order: 'All men stand back, and hi I ladies retire to next deck below?Smoking room deck?br-?B. deck. The men standing away, revalued In an absolute alienee. leaning against the end ratling or pacing slowly up and doufn. "One by one the boats were alowly Ailed with women and children, and lowered and rowed away Into th? night. Mr. Bbasley ?Id the lifeboat was nearly two mil? away from the Titanic two boars later, when they ?w the liner sink. Suddenly there was i mighty roar, and the ship, already half submerged, buttled and ap' parently broke in two, by the fores ' or the explosion caused whan watei ' reached the hot water boilers.

CAPTAIN SMITH BELIEVED THE' TITANIC UX8IKKABLE That Captain Smith believed the Titanic and the Olympic to be absolutely unslnkable is recalled by a man who had a conversation with the vetran commander on a recent v6yage of the Olympic1. The talk was concerning the accident in which the British war ship Hawke rammed the Olympic. "The commander of the Hewke was entirely to blame." commented a young officer who was in the group. "He waa 'showing off' his war shlf before a throng of passengers and made a miscalculation. ' Captain Smith smiled entgmatlcI ally at the theory advanced by hli P subordinate, but made no commem I as to this view of ihe mishap. v w - Altrnow, oeciareo i upiain disiu , "the Olympic la nnalkable, "end thi 5 Titanic will be the aame when ahi t la put In coromtheion.

April 2#.?The rail' lnaugerated a campaign "^tf^Treaae freight rates oiftr a terp5*'r-v comprising half of the United states, which will still farther In-, crease the cost of living to everyone. | Two yeas ago the interstate commerce commission refused to allow the roads to increase their rates. Now these same roads, through indireclon and by piece meal, are trying to accooH0lBh the very thing the commission told them they could not do. accomplish the very thing the cornhave filed with the commission a new classification of freights?that is, they have submitted a plan whereby certain articles have been thus reclassified, and if the commission permits this arrangement to go into effect the people will simply have to pay more to have these articles hauled, because whenever a freight rate is increased the retailer must add the amount of the increase to the retail price of the article. The proposed increases ranges from ten to three hundred per cent. The roads were careful to reduce the rates on a certain number of articles, apparently for the purpose of detracting attention from the many increases. The state railroad commission of 18 states have united in a protest against the new classification. pointing out th*' tho proposed Increases are more han 60 per cent In excess of reductions, and charging that the classification plan is simply a subterfuge to get through a big increase of rates. The public has no objections to the NO SERVICE TONIGHT AT BAPTIST, CHUP There will be no senses at rthe First Baptist Church thiB evening as has been the custom each night during the past week. The pastor will preach at 11 a. m. Sunday and at 7:45 p. m., the cvaugellstic services will continue The meeting last night -was one of the raosj successful of the series tor the week. Considerable interest was manifested and a large congregation was present. Mr. Dalton delivered another sermon full of thought. All cordially invited to attend the services both Sunday morning and e~enlng.

The public has no object- . Ion to the railroads making a good generous rate of interest on money Invested In railroad properties. The public does not wi*h t? thexail- ~:-j3 roads hampered In any way. because they are the arteries of commerce of the nation. But the public does object to the railroads requiring the public to pay enormous dividends in addition to creating a huge annual surplus on money that is not Invested. and on capitalisation that represents nothing more than blue air. Senator L*aFollotte has shown the corporations of this country are capitalized a* 131.672.000.000 and that 70 per cenL of this capital ration is water. More and more water is constantly being Injected into the capitalization of the railroads, which makes It necessary for the roads to be constantly boosting freight rates and increasing the cost of living to every man. woman and child in the nation. Under the Roosevelt and Taft administrations. Congress refused to pasa a bill providing for a physical valuation of railroad properties, which appears to be the only solution of the evil which permits the gearing of the common people in order that few railroad magnates may be still further enriched. Defore this session closes, however, the Democratic House will enact such elgislatlon. the bill having already been favorably reported from the committee on Interstate and foreign commerce.
