At the local White Star office inquiries were made today for Katherine McCarthy by her brother, John McCarthy, 4634 Wallace street, who is certain she was a passenger on the Titanic and was coming to Chicago. Information regarding Nora Cummings was sought by John Hare, 10243 Avenue N, and also for Thomas Conlin, by his sister, Mary Conlin. Word reached Chicago that Alice and Ellenor Johnson of St. Charles, Ill., were among the survivors, but that it was believed their mother perished, as she was not among the passengers on the Carpathia.
