‘The Great Liner Titanic 'Went DoWn With ‘ HerBandPlayifig -, » RRAPHIU STORY OF, ZWBEUK A dequfich from New York says: '1‘th Cunard fillng Oarpathiw, a. ship of “gloom and sucoor, ’ came 'into New YOrk on Thursday night with first news direct from the great, "White Star liner Titanic, which 'off‘the Grand Banks 6f New- foundland early on Monday morn- lngz the 15th_i_pst. The great liner went down with her band playing, taking with her to death all but 745 of her human cargo of 2,340 souls. ' SIX OF RESCUED DIED. Tethis awful death list six per-i sons Were added. One died in thelife-boats which were put OK from‘ the liner’s side and five subsequent-M ly succumbed on the rescue ship Carpathia. The list of prominent men missing stands as previously reported, and the total death list, as brought to port. Thursday night byA the Ca-rpathia, is [1,601. Survivors in the! lifeboats hud- dled in the darkness art a safe dis- tance from\the stricken ship and saw her go down. .As to the scene on board when the liner struck, ac- counts disagree widely. ' Some maintain that a, comparative calm prevailed; others say that wild dis- order broke out and that there was a, maniac-a1 struggle, for the life- boats. That the liner struck an ice- berg, as reported by wireless, was confirmed by all. A young English woman, who reâ€" quested that her name be omitted, toldxa, thrilling story of her experi- ence in one of the collapsible boats which had been manned by eight of the crew from the Titanic. The boat wais in command of the fifth olficer‘, H. Lowe, whom she stated save~d"‘thei lives of many people. Before the lifeboat was launched, he passed along the port deck of the steamer, commanding the people not to jump in the boats and other- wise restrainin them from swamp- ing the craft. a’hen the collapsible was launched, Officer Lowe succeed- ed in putting up a, meet and a small sail. 'He collected the other boats together. ‘In some cases the boats were short of- adequate crews, and he directed an exchange by which each wee adequately manned. He threw lincs connecting the boats. tout SENSATIONAL RUMORS. ' Sensational rumors told by hys- terical passengers who would not give their names, said thatCaptain Smith had killed himself on the bridge; that the chief engineer had taken his life, and that three Ital- ians were shot; in the struggle for the boats. These rumors could not be confirmed in the early confusion attendant upon the landing of the survivors. Shortly before she sank she broke in two abaft the engine room, and as she disappeared beneath the wa- ter the expulsion of air caused two explosions which were plainly heard, by the survivors adrift. A moment more and the Titanic had gone to her doom with the fated hundreds grouped on the after deck. To the ,survivors they were "visible to the last, and their cries and moans were pitiable. ‘ Ripged from stem to engineâ€"room. by the great mass of ice she struck amidships the Titanic’s side was laid ope-n as if by a gigantic can- opener. She. quickly listed to star- board and a shower ofice‘ fell to the forecastle deck. ‘ E. Z. Taylor, of Philadelphia, one of the survivors, jumped into the sea just three minutes before the boat sank” He told a graphic story as he came from the Car'pafohia. “I wai's eating when the boat struck the iceberg,” he said. “There was an awful ' sihock that made the boat tremble from stem to stern. I did not realize for some time what had happened. No one 'ae-emed to know the extent of the accident. We were. told that an iceberg had been-struck by the .ship. I felt the boat rise, and it seemed to me that she was riding over the ice. I ran out on deck and then I could see ice. ‘ ' I “It was a veritable sea, of ice, and the boat was rocking over it. I should say that parts of the iceberg were, eighty feet high, but it had been broken into sections, probably by our ship. “I jumped into the ocean and was picked up by one of the boats. ‘I neVer expected to see. land again. I waited on board the boat until the lights went out. It, seemed to me that the discipline on board was wonderful." ' TITANIC BROKE'IN TWO. HEROIC CONDUCT. GRAPHIC STORY. gether, two by two, and all thus moved together. Later on he went back tthhe wreck with the crew of one of the. boats and succeeded in picking up some of those who had jumped overboard and were swim- ming about. On his way back to the Carpathia. he passed one of the collapsible boats which was on the point of sinking with thirty passen- gers aboard, most of them in scant night clothing. They were rescued just in the nick of time. Some died on the way to the Carpathia. Geo. A. Bray‘deyn told of how Capâ€" tain Smith met his death. “I saw Captain Smith while I was in the water. He was standing on the deck all alone. Once. he was swept down by a, wave, but managed to get his feed). Then, ‘as the 'boat sank, he again was knocked down by, a wave, and thia time disappear- ed from view.” . A despatch from Montreal says: It is now certain that eleven Mont- realers lost their lives on the Titan- ic. Owing to their prominence in the financial. industrial and social life of Montreal, the whole. city is plunged into mourning. Following is the latest revised list of those lost and those saved :â€" THE LOST.. ELEVEN MONTREALERS LOST‘ “By the time I got the boats aboard 'day was breaking. On all sides of us were icebergs, some twenty were 150 to 200 feet high and there were numerous small icebergs or ‘growlers.’ Wreckage ‘ was strewn about us,” he said. ’Mr. Chas. M. Hays.‘ / Mr. H.

In the list of survivors as received by wireless Mr. Graham was mentioned as among those saved. Describing how he left the Tiâ€"' tanic, Mr. Ismay said \he only look- ed round once. The boat was afloat at that time. THE SURVIVORS. Mrs. C. M. Hays. Mrs. Thornton Davidson. Mrs. James Baxter. Mrs. Frederick 0. Douglas. Hudson Trevor Allison. « Eleven months’ old son of Mr. H. J. Allison. ’ ‘ A despatch from Toronto Says: A private wire from New York on Thursday night from Mr. Harry McGee, of the T. Eaton Company, stamed that; Mr. George E. Graham, buyer for the T. Eaton Company, was not on the Carpathia, and was “That would be hard to esti- mate,” he responded. “Almost un- til she sank. Probably an hour and a quarter.” ' ' ’ “I did not want to see her go down. I was rowing in the life- boat all the time until we were picked up,” he continued. The first Witness called was J. Bruce Ismay, President of the Inâ€" ternational Mercantile Marine. He was severely interrogated by the members of the Investigating Com- mittee. Though obviously ill, he answered every question succinctly. He said he always accompanied his company’s liners on their maiden voyages. He was in bed when the collision took place and did not see the iceberg. ‘ “How 16mg did you remain on the injured ship 1” he was asked. _ Mr. Ismay said there was no ex- piosion on board. He estimated the speed of the ship when she struck at twenty-one knots. If the ship had struck headâ€"on she would have floated. Capt. Rostron of the Carpathia said that when they found the Tiâ€" tanic’s boats they were in the ice- field. - OFFICIAL INQUIRY. New York, April\10.â€"The official Government inquir/y into the wreck of the Titanic began this afternoon at the Waldorf-Astoria, with Sena- tor William Alden Smith of Michi- gan as Chairman of the United States committee conducting the injuiry. ' HOW CAPT. SMITH DIED. GEO. E. GRAHAM LOST. The committee is seeking to prove that the Titanic’ s boats belonged to another vessel. Asked concern- ing this, Capt. Rostron said they were towed away last night; where he did not know. , . “What was the last message you got from the Titanic?” asked a’ Senator. .“T-he last message was, ‘Engine« room nearly full‘ of water.’ ” In discussing the strength of the Carpathia’s wireless, Captain Ros- tron said the Carpathia, was only fifty-eight miles-from 'the Tifianic when the call for help came. “Providential l” exclaimed Rep- resentative Hughes, no longer able to control his emotion. - “Providential,” repeated the Captain, “the whole thing. Our wireless operator was not on duty, but as he was undressing he had the apparatus to his ear. Two min-‘ utes more he would have been in bewd, and we neVer would have heard.” ’ “I don’t know thé ship,” said Captain Rostron, “but if she muldn’t carry more than twenty she could be made ’00.”- I “Take the Titanic,” he said, “whose tonnage is three times that of the Carpathia; how many addi- tional Jifeboats could she accommo- date without inconvenience?” V “I finishéd the year’s 501-1} with- out any kmd of tonicsâ€"Awas nbt abâ€" sent from duty evenihalf a day A Senator Newlands asked about the lifeboats at great length. .

' “Quite 603’ “What would be a safe, reason- able speed for a ship of that size and in that course '1” ' Captain Rostron was asked about the lifeboat with but one oificer and one seaman in it.‘ This was the boat from which Representative James A. Hughes’ daughter, Mrs. L. P. Smith, was rescued. At least two women were rowing in this boat. In another lifeboat he saw women at the oars, but. how many he could not tell. One boat was described as overcrowded, having on board the passengers from a. wrecked lifeboat. “I ate exfough food, (the ordin- ary mealsâ€"white bread, vegetables, etc.) but was hungry after meals. “In three months, mofé than my usual strength returned, and I had gained }5_ p9upds in weight; A Rhythmical and Grateful Chant “First, I noticed that I wags not hungry after imealsr. “Am still in the best of he'alth, with all who know me wondering at the improvement}. “I did not know the ship,” the Captain said, “and therefore can- not tell. I“‘had seen no ice before the Titanic signalled ns, and I knew from her message that there was ice to be encountered. But the Carpathia went full speed ahead. I had extra ofiicerg on watch and some others volunteered to watch ahead throughout "the trip.” A teacher in a Terre Haute pub- lic school joins in the chorus: “Teaching is a, business which re- quires a great deal of brain and nerve 'force. Unless this force is renewed as fast as expended the teacher is exhausted before the close of the year. Many resort to stimulating tonics for relief. “For 3 years I struggled against almost complete exhaustion, getâ€" ting what relief I could from doc- tors’ tonics. Then in the spring of 1903 I had an attack of la. grippe and malaria, which left me too weak THANKSGIVING PSALM.. mums WIRELESS m qumatio Story Told by Bride, the Young 1 ‘ r, Operator « ' New York, April 21.â€"-The oom- niittee devoted its entire day 'to an investigation of the connection of the Wireless with the disaster. H. T. Cottam, the operator 1 on the Carpathia, was the first 'witness. Senator Smith sought to establish certain testimony he had given -on the stand yesterday, and this soon was, ended. Then came the “star” witness of the day. ‘ Seated in an invalid’s chair, Bride was wheeled to the end of the long table at which the committee sat. He was hollowâ€"cheeked- and wan, and had just come from a. phy- sician’s care. His hands were nev- er quiet and he looked and inter- locked his fingers incessantly. Like Cottam, who is twenty-three years old, Bride is merely a boy, a year younger than Cottam. Neither had any» telegraphic experience previous to taking up wireless tele- graphy, and both told tales of long hours at low wages and days and nights spent without sleep. ‘ Their inexperience and‘fl'ie menâ€" tal condition of the young operaâ€" tors were the two points on which Seznatdr Smith bore persistently. -He had put Cottam through a grueling examination, in which the youth testified that he had not slept more than eight or ten hours be- tween Sunday night when »the Ti- tanic called for help, and Thur"- day night, when the vessel docked here with its load of unnerved men .and hysterical women. Bride’s storywas one that bore out vividly all that Cottam’s had established, except that his was one of nervous strain and worry and high-keyed suspense. Under insistent questioning, Bride began to show signs that he might collapse, so Senator Smith ended the wireless inquisition and questioned him about the final scenes aboard the Titanic. ‘Bride and ‘his superior, Phillips, were among the last to leave and were witnesses of the closing scenesqm the boat-deck, the topmost parade deck of the lost ship. Bride’s story was fragmentary, because it was drawn from a memory that had not ceased to see the actual living horâ€" ror of it. Without Senator Smith’s interrogations, it ran about as folâ€" lows:â€" “The captain come into the wire- less cabin from the deck when the Carpathia a/dvised us of her posi- tion, and figured out the time when that vessel probably would arrive. He left when that was disposed of and proceeded to his bridge. Then we began to unofficially keep in communication with the Carpathia. “We did not feel the shock when the ship struck. In fact, I was asleep at the time and was not even awakened by the impact. When the engines stopped, Mr. Phillips called me, and I put on the tele- phone apparatus while he went out to see what was the ’trouble.‘ A little later he came back. _I;Ie said things looked ‘queerz’ By “queer’ I suppose he meant that everything was not as it should be". “At this time, however, neither of us worried a bit. When he heard confusion on the deck I went out to investigate, and when I returned I found Mr. Phillips‘sending out a ‘C.Q.D.’ call, giving our position. We raised the Frankfurt first and then the Carpathia and the Baltic. As I havesaid, weidid not try for the Frankfurt for any length of time, but concentrated our mes- sages on the Carpathia, which had answered that she was rushing to our aid.

The last time I went on deck I found the passengers running around in con- fusion and there was almost a. pan- ic. They were seeking for life- boat/s. All of the large lifeboats were gone, but there was one life- rafb remaining. It had been lashed on the top oithe quarters on the beat deck. ,A number of men were striving to launch it. “I went back to the Wireless ca» bin then. Mr. Phillips was striving to send out a, final ‘C.Q.D.’ call.. The power was so low that we could not tell exactly whether it was be- ing carried or not, for we were in a closed cabin and we cbuld not hear the craokle of the wireless at the mast. Phillips kept on send- ing, however, while I buckled on his lifebelt and ‘ put. on my own. Then we both cared for a. woman who had fainted and who had been brought into our cabin; LAST SIGHT OF CAPTJSMITH. “I regret extremely having had to subject you to such an Ordeal,” he said, addressing Bride, “be- cause of your condition. I would have avoided it if possible, b‘ut the ‘committee thanks yon most \heartâ€" fly for the forbearance you have shown and the frankness of your testimony.” “Then, about tenxminutes before the ship sank, Captain Smith gave world for everyone tovloek to his own safety. - I sprang to aid the men struggling to launch the life- raft, and we had succeeded in'get- ting to the edge of the boat when a, giant wave carried it away. I went with it and found myself un- derneath. Struggling‘through an eternity I finally emerged, and was swimming 150 feet from the Titanic when she went down. I felt no suc- tion as the vessel plunged. AMUTHER’S PRAISE 0F BABY’S UWN TABLETS Mrs. Wm. Sullivan, Main River, N. B., says': “Up to the time my baby was three months old it cried almost continually day and night. I tried many things, but got no- thing to help it until a neighbor advised Baby’s Own Tablets, I got a box of these and there was a. change almost after the first dose and in a. short time the child was in the best of health, and is now a big, fat, goodâ€"natured baby. I am new never without the Tablets in the house and recommend them to other mothers.” The Tablets“ are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at .25 cents a. box from The‘Dr. Williams’ Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont. “I did not see Mr. Ismay at all. Captain Smith stuck to the bridge, and, turning, Lsaw him jumping just as the vessel glided into the de ths. He had not donned a life- bel’t, so far as I could see, and went down with the ship.” The witness showed so plainly the mental and physical strain un- der which he was laboring that both Senators Newlands and Reed urged Senator‘ Smith to excuse him._ After, a few more interroga- tions Senator Smith did so.
