OF TITANIC Dr. Frauenthal't Narrative. Dr. Henry J. Frauentrial, the well known New York physician, one of the survivors of the Titanic, gave the following account of the catastrophe: "The boat struck the Iceberg at 11.40 p. m. I was In bed and asleep and did not hear the crash My room was on the other side of the boat from the Iceberg side. I did not know any thing until my brother, who was read ing, came and aroused me. "We rushed to the deck, I dressed aa I was for bed. As I came on deck I 3aw the Captain and heard hlra till ing Colonel Astor that the boat had been injured by an Iceberg. The deck was already well crowded and the passengers were ruBhlng to the deck. "I saw that the crew was lowering a boat, and understand that It was the jecond boat that was lowered. The crew rushed In the hoat a lot of worn n who were nearby. My brother got in the boat to protect the women. My wife threatened to Jump out of the boat If I did not Join her there, so then I got In the boat, too. "We rowed away In the lifeboat, I should think, for about a mile. It was black night. There was no light on tha Titanic, as the light there had gone out, I am told, five minutes before Bhe sank. "I could not, of course, see the ship ;o down at the distance we were, but I heard the cries and screams of those who were on the ship, and, perhaps, too, of those who were in the water trying to save themselves by clinging to lifepreBervers. We heard these cries for fully two hours, while we were riding the waves a mile away. Then the cries died down and finally all was still, except the noise of the oars in our boat and the swish of the waters. "So far as I know, none of the pas sengers saved anything." Itmay Got Into First Lifeboat, Wom an and Stoker Insist William Jones, a stoker on the Ti tanic, who was one of the crew of three that manned lifeboat No. 6, gave a story of the wreck from the mo ment that the Titanic struck the Ice berg. He insisted Ismay went Into the firBt lifeboat "I am certain I saw Ismay leave by the first boat that went over the side," Jones said. "We all knew at the time that she was a goner. The first boat off was In charge of the second officer and Ismay went with him.' Of the 300 members of the crew that were In the quarters forward but forty-seven that I know of managed to get away. They were crushed when she struck. The same death came to the first cabin passengers that were quartered for ward." Mrs. Julian Smith of West Vir ginia, who lost her husband, was bit ter In her denunciation of Ismay. "I saw Ismay leave In the first boat," she said, "and I thought then it was done probably because he was ill. But I learned afterward that he was in perfect health and had been banqueting with the captain when the crash came. When we were tak en off on the Carpathia he was put in the best stateroom, in Infinitely more comfort than the twenty-six widows aboard. He kept in seclusion for the greater part of the time. On his door was a sign that read: 'Please don't knock." In Bed When the Crash Came. Mrs. Dickinson Bishop of Detroit, Mich., in an Interview said: "I was the first woman In the first boat. I was in the boat four hours be fore being picked up by the Carpathia. I was In bed at the time the crash came, got up and dressed and went back to bed, being assured that there was no danger. There were very few passengers on deck when I reached there, after I decided that it would be better to Investigate the matter of the crash more fully. "There was little or no panic. The behavior of the crew of the Titanic was pertect. My husband was also saved, thank God.!" Aged Woman Victim of Open Grate Jefferson Center, Pa. Mrs. James B.

Warned of Ice, White Star Line teaj Said: "We Will Go Faster" ARROGANTLY DEFIED DANGER Unwarranted Belief That Ship Was Unslnkable, Reckless Navigation and Wonderful Calm After Im pact Brought Out at Hearing. New York City Without wast ing a minute the sub-committee of the U. S. Senate Committee on Com merce got down to business in its in vestigation Into the Titanic disaster. President over by Senator William Al den Smith, a lawyer of note of Michi gan, the Inquiry began at the Waldorf Astoria. The remarkable and unwarranted faith of Captain E. J. Smith and his junior officers In the unsinkable char acter of the Titanic, the recklessness of navigating the Titanic at full speed In view of the advices that there were icebergs in the vicinity and the won derful calm which prevailed among passengers and officers after the col lisionthese were the salient facts brought out. J. Bruce Ismay, William Marconi and Second Officer Lightoller of the Titanic were witnesses before the Sen ate committee investigating the dis aster. From Ismay and Lightoller was drawn, reluctantly the admission that the Titanic was going at almost her maximum speed when she hit the iceberg, that Captain Smith had been warned of the presence of bergs, but that the speed was not slackened In the least. J. Bruce Ismay was the first witness called, and was not fortunate In the impression he made on the committee and others present. That Mr. Ismay had been concerned chiefly with his own safety seemed to be generally suspected. . Ismay seemed to feel the antagonis tic atmosphere. He sat In the extreme corner surrounded by his business as sociates. With him were two private detectives, who have been assigned as his bodyguard tlnce the Carpathia got in and who are never away from his side. Mr. Ismay's manner on the stand was constrained. He was plainly ill at ease. Whatever good may have been In the impression he made seem ed to be wiped out bthe damaging statement made later by Lightoller that the first man be saw on the boat deck three minutes after the Titanic struck was Ismay standing alone. Major A. G. Peuchen said that J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the line, had laughingly told a woman pas senger that the ice warning, so far from keeping the Titanic back, would only cause her Increase her speed, sc as to get more quickly out of the ice field. Other criticisms of Mr. Ismay by passengers on the Carpathia who ob served his conduct after he was res cued, and by landsmen, were numer ous. It was learned that he occupied tbe doctor's cabin on board the Car pathia, denied himself to all inquirers and caused the report to be spread that a sick woman was in the cabin on whose door appeared the notice: "Don't knock." Major Arthur Peuchen, of the Queen's Rifles of Toronto, Canada, made this statement at the Waldorf Astoria: "J. Bruce Ismay knew of the pres ence of icebergs, but afrogantly disre garded the danger of them. "And when (he Titanic was every instant facing the possibility of run ning into an ice mountain, Mr. Ismay was dining with Captain Smith both of them in evening clothes in a lower saloon, when the Captain, at least, should have been at his post of duty on the bridge." Lightoller, second officer of Titanic, admitted that he knew of the ship re ceiving a message on Sunday warning Captain Smith of Ice.. Marconi talked of the work of wire less and intimated that only economi cal reasons prevented all passenger vessels having an operator constantly on duty. Captain Rostram and Wireless Oper ator Cottam of the Carpathia denied receiving a message from President Taft. William T. Stead, the writer, fa sup posed to have perished in his state room. President Hays was seen on the deck Just before the last boat left the doomed ship. Senator Rayner of Maryland ar raigned J. Bruce Ismay and the direct ors of the White Star Line as criminal ly responsible for the loss of the Ti tanic. In various hospitals and charitable Institutions are 204 survivors of the Titanic, some ill, practically all desti tute. Two of the sailors of the Titanic confirmed the report that men who tried to rush the lifeboats were shot. Revised reckoning of the Titanic disaster statistics resulted in the offi cial announcement that only 705 per sons were rescued, and that 1,635 met death. The new figures were given out by W. W. JeffrieB, passenger traf fic manager of the White Star line. The 705 survivors, as announced by Jeffries, consist of 202 first cabin pas sengers, 115 second cabin, 178 steer age, 4 officers and 2"G of the crew. Of those saved nlmoBt a third were mem bers of the ship's company. FOR CONGRESS INQUIRY. Resolution on Titanic Referred to Committee Sympathy Is Voted. Washington. Representative Mott of New York introduced a resolution directing the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries to In quire into the facta relating to the Titanic disaster. The resolution was referred to the Rules Committee. The House passed unanimously a resolution extending the sympathy to the families of the persons lost on the Titanic. OSS MAY TOTAL $35,000,000 Greatest Marine Lost In the History ef Navigation Many Insurance Com panies Hard Hit and Will Be Materially Advanced. - New York. Of all the sad phases of the loss of the Titanic none was more pathetic than tbe final parting of the wives and children on board the 111 fated steamship from ' husbands and fathers as they bade them a last fare well. All realized that the number of lifeboats was Inadequate to provide for half of the passengers and before they were launched all hope had been abandoned for the arrival of aid be fore the Titanic went beneath the waves. Force had to be used by the officers of the steamship to tear wives from husbands when it came time for the women to take their place in the life boats that swung from the davits. The women begged to be allowed to re main and share the fate of the men who were left on board, but no heed was paid to their plea. The last glimpse the women and children got of their dear ones was as the full complement of passengers were placed In the lifeboats and they swung out and dropped from view to the waves below. Equally tragic is the separation of families, both in this country and Ku rope. Wives returning to America aft er a winter's stay In Europe and men hurrying to their homes after business trips abroad are among those who went down with the steamship. Marine headquarters say the loss of th Titanic Is the greatest of marine disasters. The estimated insurance loss for hull, cargo, baggage and life insurance is placed all the way from $20,000,000 to $35,000,000. British underwriters will have to bear the greatest part of the loss, though much reinsurance was placed in Germany, and American underwrit ers probably will have to pay most of the loss on cargo. One Wall Btreet authority says the Titanic carried $3. 000.000 in diamonds and $25,000,000 In rubber, besides securities and specie. The vesfiil herself was insured for $5,000,000, divided among the large marine insurance companies of the world. She w as valued at $10,000,000. William A. Prime, Vice President of Wilcox, Peck & Hughes, said: "This loss, coming so close on the recent loss of $5,000,000 In bullion which went down on the Ocean means a ser ious matter for many of the insurance companies and la likely to affect the prosperity of most of them." A representative of the United States Lloyd's said: "I regard the sinking of tbe Titanic as the greatest loss in the history of marine insur ance. Still, the loss need not cripple anyone. Single members of Lloyd's of London who took risks too large for them to bear may have to suffer, but in the general run the riBks have been very widely distributed." Nearly every large marine under writer in New York Is said to have carried a full line of insurance on the Titanlc's cargo, the value of which is problematical. It s generally predicted that the rate of marine Insurance risks will be materially advanced on accpunt of the Titanlc's experience. .25,000 FLOOD SUFFERERS. Many Are Without Food or Shelter In Louisiana. New Orleans. Reports from the most conservative sources show that 25,000 flood victims In northeastern Lousiana and the southeastern corner of Arkansas are homeless and with out food or adequate clothing. Many are without shelter of any kind, while hundreds still are marooned in de serted dwellings, barns, trees or on rafts. Too add to the suffering and In crease the danger of further levee breaks, a rainstorm, almost a cloud burst, swept Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. The engineers say that It will be a miracle if the levees do not give way at many other points. Full Crew Act Constitutional. Harrlslmrg, The Dauphin county court decided that the "full crew" act of 1911 Is constitutional. The court in its opinion follows the lines of the decisions of the courts of Arkansas and Indiana, which were upheld by the supreme court of the United States, Bids on Highway Work. Advertisements for bids for a num ber of highways to be fcuji as part of the main system and on tlie state aid plan will be made by the state high way department within the next 30 days and the list will be made up by Commissioner E. M. Bigelow within a few days. The commissioner held a conference with officers of his de partment and will push the road work, although aa soon as the ques tion of the use of the money from au tomobile licenses Is determined op erations will go much faster. The construction of roads on the state aid plan depends lnrgely on the use of this money, which amounts to about $1,400,000, representing the Income from that course for several years. Whether a court suit to determine what should be done will be entered or not no one seems to know at this time. Killed by Pitched Ball. Norwich, N ,Y.

TITANIC'S LIFE BOATS ENTIRELY INADEQUATE Life Rafts Sufficient to Rescue Only One In Three Sad Tales of Survivors. "Wireless Station, Camperdown, N. S. Messages filtering through here In dicate that the passengers In the lire boats from the Titanic had thrilling experiences: "Huge quantities of field Ice covered the ocean and the boat steerera had tc guide their craft with the greatest care. "In some cases the Ice was so heavy that the boats could not force their way through It and as a result many of them became widely separated. "Many of tbe passengers In tbe life boats were scantily clad, having been hurried out of their berths In the dead of night and ordered Into the boats. "The transfer of the passengers from tbe steamer to the boats was at tended by much excitement and pan ic." New York. So that, seemingly, was the end of the magnificent Titanic; If the worst Is true men worth hundreds of millions of dollars met their fate with her, a priceless cargo was in her capacious holds, a consignment of $5, 000,000 of diamonds in her strong rooms. The news of the greatest ocean trag edy since newspapers existed really as "filtered;" sputtered Intermit tently by wireless telegraphy from the Titanic and from tbe steamships Pari sian, of the Allan Line of Canada, the steamship Virginian, of the same line and the steamer Olympic the Titanlc's little smaller, but older sister; the three, all In the Ice-flicked steamer lane raced to the Titanlc's aid In ans wer to her calls for help. Jacques Futrelle's Widow , Weeps on Pier. Mrs. Jacques Futrelle, whose hus band, a well-known writer, waa drown ed, was taken from the Carpathia weeping and almost fainting. She was supported by two friends. Her an guish affected the persona on the pier probably more than any single Inci dent. "Ob, what suffering," she arnost. screamed, aa she waa led along the pier. "What terrible misery." She was hurried to a cab and taken away. Early Couples Pushed Into Boats. Her aunt, Mrs. Andrews, said: "Ip the first boat many husbands got away with their wives. The reason for this was that at that time there were not enough women on the deck to fill the boat p. The officers knew the desperate need of the situation and the urgency of getting tbe boata oft quickly, so they filled the boats with those on the deck and got them away. "Of the husbands who remained be hind after putting their wives in the lifeboats only three were reunited. "We were a mile away from the Ti tanic when there was a great explo sion. It appeared to me as If the boil ers had blown up and the Titanic had been lifted up amidships and broken In half. This Is the way It appeared to me. "The men In the lifeboats took off their coats and gave them to the wo men, who were, for the most part, scantily clothed. Fortunately, some of those rescued had brought blankets with them from their staterooms when they came up on deck. Bays Dead Were Thrown Overboard, "The most pathetic thing I beard was tbat on one of the boats, a collap sible lifeboat, holding sixteen to twen. ty persons, the party were up to their knees In water for six hours, so that one man bad bis legB frozen and eight died. "The eight were thrown overboard, to lighten the boat and to keep It from being swamped. LINER'S GRAVE TWO MILES DEEP, Location of Titanlc's Deathbed Placed By Canadian Marine Official. Halifax, N.
