SURVIVORS REPORT HOWARD B. CASE WENT DOWN ON TITANIC Message Received in Rochester from New York Confirms Earlier Report---Miss Bentham Only Rochester Person Among Saved. DEATH OF STANLEY H. FOX CERTAIN The announcement made yesterday at the White Star Line office in New York that Howard B. Case, brother.

of Charles V. Case, of No. 3 Thayer street, Rochester, was not among the survivors of the Titanic disaster, was confirmed by a telegram received, from New York last night by M. Everest, of the Vacuum Oil Company, from Edward Prizer, vice-president the company and a brother-in-law of Case, which said: Alt, "Carpathia arrived. Howard missing.

Survivors say he went down with the ship." The announcement that came after the reassuring message sent out from the White Star Line offices on Wednesday that Mr. Case was among the surrivors was a deadening blow to his friends and relatives in Rochester, who had been overjoyed when they 'learned of his probable safety. Besides his brother, Charles V. Case; his mother, Mrs. Helen B.

Case, and two elstere, G. Case, are also living in Mise Fannie L. Oase at No. 103 Dartmouth street. A.

wife and four children, living at Ascot, England, about twenty-five miles from London, also survive him. One Rochester Survivor. The striking of Mr. Case's name from the list leaves but one of the four Rochester persons who are known to have been on the ill-fated steamer to tell the tale of the fearful disaster. It seems practically certain that Miss Lillian Bentham, of No.

17 Kay terrace is among those who arrived in New York last night, since her name has appeared in all the lists of survivors and was in the revised list given out yesterday. Stanley Fox, of No. 38 Gregory street, who was returning from a two months' Europe for the Gleason Works, triceftain to have been one of the 1,500) or more souls who went with the vessel to the ocean's bottom. The straw of hope that he might not have sailed on the Titane wha dashed yesterday when Buck Hickman, London agents for the Glenson Works, reported that he mailed on the Titanic as he had originalIntended. Their message as yesterday follows: "Shipping records, show Fox sailed on the Titanic." His name has not appeared on any of the published lists of survivors so it seems certain that he is among those at sea.

Wife Made Dangerously Ill. Mrs. Fox lies dangerously ill at the family, home in Gregory street, as a rethe shock. Since the announcement of the disaster she had had grave apprehensions for her husband's safety, and with the later accounts the convictio nthat he had perished grew to 8 practical certainty. Two little sons are also left in the home.

Fox also leaves a brother, Mortimer Fox, who is stage manager of a company that appeared DIPLOMAS PRESENTED TO INSTITUTE PUPILS Address Made to Graduates by Pittsburg Man. DR. JOHN A. BRASHEAR.

APRIL 19. 1912. 25 CAPACITY HOUSE AT SHOW Young Women Conspicuous in J. Y. M.

A. Minstrel Entertainment, at a local theater last week, and is now playing in Buffalo. The fourth Rochester person who is ussumed to have been aboard the Titanic was Peter MacKain, of No. 177 North street. MacKain sailed for England with Miss Bentham in November, 1911, and was returning with her on board the Titanic, His name not appeared 01 any of the lists or survivors.

Ou the same boat with MacKain and Miss Bentham was William J. Douton, of Holley, a friend of MacKain, who had formerly lived at Holley. Mrs. Douton, who has steadfastly disbelieved that her husband could be among the lost, left for New York Wednesday and was at the dock to meet the Carpathia last night in hopas of fiuding husgand among those on board. Since Douton's name has not appeared on any of the lists of survivors, it is practically certain that he journey was fruitless.

May Not Have Been Aboard. (Besides the four Rochester people who are known to have been passengers on the Titanie it is also believed that the parents of Philip Stags, who lives in Garden street, Irondequoit, are among those who went down with the time ago that they intended vessel. Mr. Stagg received torantone on the Titanic from Southampton. There is considerable ground for believing Stagg's fears to be groundless, since the names of his parents do not appear on any of the passenger lists that have been published.

It is barely possible, however, they purchased passage after the Titanic's passanger list was made up. Miss Lillian Bentham, who, it is supposed, is the only survivor of the Rochester people known to have been aboard the Titanic, is 19 years old. She went to England with a party of friends in November to regain her health, which had been impaired in nursing her father, who died in October, 1911. It could not be learned night whether she had suffered greatly from the effects of her harrowing experience, but it was expected that if possible she would proceed directly to Rochester on the arrival of the Carpathia. Her mother and brother, Walter Bentham, are anxiously awaiting her arrival.

Mr. Case a Native of City, Howard B. Case, of whose death proof was received from the survivors of the wreck' last night, was born in Rochester in 1864 and made his home here until twenty-six years ago, when he went to England in the interests of the Vacuum Oil Company. He remained there four years and then returned to Rochester where he stayed, still in the employ of the company, 111- til ten years ago when he went to England to manage the London office of the company. He then astablished his home at Ascot, about twenty-five miles out of London, and had since made only occasional trips to this city on business and to visit his relatives.

An addition to the decorations was that of a large number of birds in brass cages, one cage being suspneded from each banging basket of flowers. A large local stove concern, in order to demonstrate the good qualities of Its stoves, gives away about 200 loaves of bread every evening, the afternoon's baking.

Minstrels. A capacity house that fairly shouted Itself sore-throated and clapped its hands raw greeted the sixth annual minstrel offering of the Jewish Young Men's Association at the Shubert Theater last night. The production differed this year from those preceding it, since the action of the entire show, aside from the olio numbers, was based upon A plot. The singing ofo the opening chorus, consisting of song "hits" by the entire company of 130 voices, put the audience in a mood for the entertainment that followed. With Norman, Rosenberg 35 interlocutor, Jeanette Mincer, Anna Ross, 'Blanche B.

Rosenberg, Mary Klonick, Harry A. Friedman and Abraham D. Freedman were introduced as ends. Mr. Friedman and Miss Mincer were particularly good.

approaching nearer to the professional standard of minstrel characterization than any of thei assocates. Mess Mincer was recalled four times, for her singing of "Mammy's Shufflin' Dance." One of the best voices was that of Miss Rose Berlove, who sang "I Love to Live in Love Land." The wisdom of Haskell H. Marks, chairman of the Management Committee, in allowing the girls to take part in the show was clearly proved. The young women aided materially to the success of the performance. One of the features of the show was the dancing of Sarah Bachman, a child of 6 years.
