Frauenthal, the well | known New York physician, one ot ! the survivors of the Titanic, gave the 5 following account of the catastrophe: "The boat struck the iceberg at 11.40 p. m.l was in bed and asleep and i 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, 1 dressed as j I was for bed. As I came on deck i ! saw the Captain and heard him U il | aig Colonel Aster that the boat had I been injured by an iceberg. The deck was already well crowded and the passengers were rushing to the deck, j "I saw that the crew was lowering a boat, and understand that it was the j second boat that was lowered. The : crew rushed in the boat a lot of wom en who were nearby. My brother got ; in the boat to protect the women. My | wife threatened to jump out of the | boat if 1 Sid net join her there, so then j I got in the boat, too. j "We rowed away in the lifeboat, I I should think, for about a mile. It was j black night. There was no light on thi 1 Titanic, as the light there had gone out, I am told, five minutes before she sank. "I could not. of course, see the ship go down at the distance we were, but 1 heard the cries and screams of those j who were on the ship, and, perhaps, j too, of those who were in the water ! trying to save themselves by clinging to lifepreservers. We heard these | cries for fully two hours, while we ! were riding the waves a r.iile 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 j waters. "So far as I know, none of the pas ( sengers saved anything." Ismay 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. ti, gave a story of the wreck from the mo ment that the Titanic struck the ice berg. lie insisted Ismay went into the first lifeboat. "1 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 I 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 i 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 jit was done probably because he was ! ill. But 1 learned afterward that he I was in perfect health and had been ' banqueting with the captain when the crash came. When we were tak en off on.he Carpathia be was putin the best stateroom, in infinitely more j comfort than the twenty-six widows \ aboard. In Bed When the Crash Came. Mrs. Dickinson Bishop of Detroit, | Mich., in an interview said: "There was little or no panic. The behavior of the crew of the Titanic I was perfect. My husband was also saved, thank God!" FOR CONGRESS INQUIRY. Resolution on Titanic Referred to Committee—Sympathy is Voted. Washington. -Representative Mott of New York introduced a resolution i directing the House Committee on ' Merchant Marine and Fisheries to in i quire into the facts relating to the Titanic disaster. The resolution was referred to the Kules Committee. The House passed unanimously a resolution extending the sympathy to the families of the persons lost on the Titanic. SAD PHASES OF TITANIC WRECK Pathetic Partings of Wives and Children from Husbands. LOSS WAY TOTAL $35.000,00 C Greatest Marine Loss in the History of Navigation—Many Insurance Com panies Hard Hit and Rates Will Be Materially Advanced. New York. —Of ail the sad phases of the loss of the Titanic none was more pathetic than the linal parting of the wives and children on board the ill fated steamship from husbands and fathers as they bade them a last fare well. AH realized that the number of lifeboats was inadequate to provide for half of the passengers and before they were launched all hope had bee-i 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 011 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 Eu 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 $:J5,000,00U. British underwriters will have to bear the greatest part of the loss, though mueli reinsurance was placed in Germany, and American underwrit ers probably will have to pay most of the loss 011 cargo. One Wall street authority says the Titanic carried's3,- 000,000 in diamonds and $25,000,000 in rubber, besides securities and specie. The vessel herself was insured for $5,000,000, divided among the large marine insurance companies of the world. She was valued at $10,000,000. William A. Prime, Vice President or Wilcox, Peck & Hughes, said: "This loss, coming so close 011 the recent loss of $5,000,000 in bullion which went down 011 the Ocean means a ser ious matter for many of the insurance companies and is likely to affect the prosperity of most of them." A representative of the United States Lloyd's said: "1 regard the sinking of the 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 risks have been very widely distributed." It is generally predicted that the rate of marine insurance risks will be materially advanced on account of the Titanic's experience. OHIO REJECTS THE RECALL. Constituional Convention Decides Against Proposal. Columbus, Ohio. —By a vote of 60 tc 48 the Ohio Constitutional Conveti tion expressed disapproval of there call proposal, which has been pending before it. The vote is taken to mean the retirement of the proposal in com tnittee. Convention officials say tht proposal now rests with the commit tee and will probably stay there. Tht proposal provides for the recall 01 State and local officials and Judges. COURT UPHOLDS FULL CREW LAW Declares Act is Within Exercise of State's Police Power. iT IS NOT CONFISCATORY . Measure of 1911 Found Constitutional in Opinion by Dauphin Co. Judges —Objections Urged by Rail roads Overruled. (Special Harrisburg Correspondence.) Harrisburg.—The full crew act of 1911 is constitutional, according to a decision announced by the Dauphin County Court, being a proper exercise of the police power. The Court fol lows the decisions given by the Indi ana and Arkansas Courts, which were upheld by the Supreme Court. The Court holds that the full crew law is not confiscatory and that the Legisla ture, iu providing for equipment of solid mail or express trains, which it had been contended was not setforth in the title, was clearly within its powers, as it provided for facilities for men to get oil and off trains and to handle them. "The allegation of the bill that the penalties, if enforced, would be oppres sive and result in a multiplicity of suits does not conclusively suggest a right to equitable relief," says the Court. "Accumulated penalties could only result from numerous violations, -and those to whom the legislative man date is addressed could be oppressed duly by their own persistent disobedi ence." Relative to the police power the de cision says: "The subject is one admittedly pro per for legislative consideration and action, and the conclusion of the Legislature thereon must be sustained and enforced. It must be conceded that the number of trainmen neces sary to insure safety on any particular train depends upon the character and length of the train, the grades and curves of the road over which it must pass, the tonnage or weight to be mov ed. the schedule speed, the number of stops and various other matters. To have attempted to specify the number of trainmen required to insure safety under all the locations and varying conditions connected with the move ment of trains would have been mani festly impracticable. The Legislature, therefore, seems to have sought for general rules which would tend to pro mote safetv under all ordinary circum stances." Interstate Commerce Decision. The State Railroad Commission has been upheld by the Interstate Com merce Commission in a decision gov erning the use of mileage, excursion or commutation tickets for through passenger travel in connection with the checking of baggage over connect ing lines. In February. 1910, complaint was tiled with the Slate Commission by James Todd, of Pittsburgh, to the effect that the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburgh refused to check bag gage from Sewickley to Philadelphia, on a combination of two tickets. Sub stantially this position of the railroad company meant that a passenger be tween these points would be compell ed to get off the train at Pittsburgh or get out of the sleeping berth in order to have his baggage re-checked to any point east of Pittsburgh. The railroad company contended that There was precedent for its action in an Inter state Commerce decision. The State Railroad Cohimission decided that "Any tickets which entitle the pas senger to first-class passage and the transportation of baggage, when pre sented in such combination as to form a through route, shall entitle the pas senger to have his baggage checked through to destination, if the baggage would be so checked on a joint through ticket." The railroad company refused to comply and the commission certified the case to the Attorney-General for action. Information now comes from Wash ington, D. ('.. that the Interstate Com merce Commission has practically adopted the Pennsylvania commis sion's view on this subject. The Lumber Trade. The Susquehanna during the past few days has been filled with large rafts of lumber, quietly and slowly floating to market. The"run" iias been very large and unless prevented by high water we may expect its con tinuance for several days. The city now contains at least a half regiment of raftsmen, who are unown at once by their rough and rugged appearance. They have money to spend, and are leaving a considerable portion of it in the clothing stores of that city. No drunkenness or disorder occurred and if they leave without kicking up a fuss, they will exhibit quite an im provement in morals. Gets Father's Office. Lock wood B. Worden. son of the late Prothonotary James F. Worden, was appointed by tlie Governor to fill the unexpired terni of liis father, who died a few months ago with almost two years of his term to serve. The appointment was made from a list of names urged upon the Goxernor by local politicians, prominent lawyers petitioning for the naming for Worden as a compliment to his father. Lockwoed B. Worden Is very popu \ar througout the State, whare ho ii veil known. FIRE PANIC IN WATERBURY _i Twelve Outbreaks of Mysterious Origin in Connecticut City. CITY HALL IS DESTROYED A Church House in Ruins—Audience in Theatre Driven Out by Smoke 1 —Most of the Fires Insig nificant. Waterbury, Conn.—Thirteen fires of seemingly incendiary origin during one day destroyed the City Hall, swept through St. Patrick's Church parish buildings and badly damaged several other structures. The entire community was aroused, fearing a re petition of the disastrous blaze that in February, 1902. destroyed $2,000,000 of property in the centre of town. The excitement was so intense that shortly before 9 p. m. Mayor Reeves ordered out Company A, Connecticut National Guard. The militiamen pa trolled the streets and forced the peo ple to return to their homes. A num ber of false alarms added to the con fusion and alarmed the people. The fire in the City Hall was set in the basement directly beneath the po lice station. A quantity of paint and varnish, left by workmen recently en gaged in repairing the buiding, quick ly caught fire, spreading the flames so rapidly that the firemen were un able to stop the blaze until the struc ture was in ruins. The building was valued at $200,000 and was insured for but a small part of that sum. The most serious loss was the As sessor's records. The poliww saved the rogues' gallery and records of criminals. The building had sheltered the Mayor, the Town and City Clerk, tax collectors, auditors, the Asses sor and the Board of Charity, besides the Police Department The old bell in the cupola, that for the last forty years had warned the people of all fires, clanged into the ruins, sounding its own doom. The several tires started in base ments. In some instances oil-soaked rags were found. One man was ar rested on suspicion, but was released when he proved an alibi. A cry of "Fire!" raised by a woman in the Jacques Theatre during a mov ing picture exhibition caused a small panic. Several hundred persons rush ed for the exits. The crush at the doors caused several women to faint, but they were saved from injury by employes of the place. Two undertaking establishments, conductd by J. S. Mulvihill and Mar tin Bergen's Sons, were burned down. The blaze spread from Mulvihill's to the St. Patrick's Church parish build ing. A fire was discovered in a closet in the Chelsea Hotel. A blaze started in Bausers market, in Meadow street. A pile of papers in the cellar of the build ing at No NT Bank street, adjacent to the Warner Building, was set on fire. The firemen prevented the flames spreading to the Warner Building, in which the Knights of Pythias have all their regalia stored. At 10 p. m. all the fires had been extinguished.

Atlanta, Ga. —Probably 25 persons were killed and more than 100 injured as the result of cyclonic storms which swept portions of west and middle Georgia and east Alabama. The wires are down in the stricken sections, but meager details indicate a long casual ty list and great damage to property. lu eastern Alabama the storm struck Adamsville, Pinckney City, Brooksido and several other villages. In Brook side it is reported that 30 houses were destroyed. Hail followed the storm and destroyed young cotton and corn. In western and middle Georgia, Newborn, Hampton, Bowden, Cedar town and Favetteville were the chief towns in the path of the storm. At Newborn, six people are reported dead and more than a score injured. Many houses were wrecked and the occu pants caught in the ruins.

ALIENS ATTACK MINE REPAIRER They Spring from Ambush and Shoot Him in Arm. WONT PERMIT HIM TO LABOR State Police Called onto Prevent Fur» ther Violence at Working Collier ies at Jessup, Scene of Recent Riots. Scranton. —Trouble lias again brok en out in the vicinity of Jessup, where the railroad tracks were dynamited, presumably by members of the Indus trial Workers of the World, who have a strong branch among the foreign speaking element employed about the mines thereabouts, and from now on the locality will be constantly patroll ed by members of the State police. Frank Leinhart, a repairman, emplo>- ed at the Moosic Mountain Coal Com pany Colliery, was on his way to work at the mine when he was ambushed about half a mile front the mine. Lein hart was walking along the narraw gauge railway track leading to the mine, when three men appeared in the woods at. one side and commenced tir ing at him. One bullet passed through his right arm and another cut a hole through his hat, and barely scared the scalp. Leinhart then took to his heels and ran toward the colliery the men pursuing him part of the way. At the mine his wounds were given rough dressing and he was taken to his home in Jessup. Leinhart was unable to give an accurate description of the two men who shot him, but said that they were foreigners. Sheriff Connor was notified and spent the entire day in Jessup and vicinity trying to locate the men who had fired the shots, but admitted that he could learn nothing. The Sheriff also announced that owing to tlie frequency of trouble in this vi cinity that he would call on the com manding officer of Troop B, State po lice, to have a patrol visit Jessup regu larly every morning for a week or so, in order, if possible, to capture some of the hot-blooded trouble-makers who have stirred up things in that locality. Frauds On the Farmers. West Chester. —At a meeting of Rrandywine C.range in its hall at Scon neltown, Pure Food Agent Harry P. Cassidy, of Philadelphia, gave an ad dress on "Pure Foods," in which he re ferred to sales of oleomargarine and rotten eggs to be used in bakeries; candies colored with coal tar and cov ered with shellac, and rancid butter churned up with skimmilk to make ice cream. An address was also made by Dr. B. Harry Warren, a former agent of the Pure Food Department, who spoke of the great work done in the interest of the dairymen by Thomas Sharpless, of Birmingham, president of the Pure Butter Association. And "the oleo men fear liini as the devil feats holy water," said Dr. Warren. Save Girls In Runaway. Doylestown.—His horse starting off as he was about to step into his wag on, Ely Fretz, of Deep Hun, was thrown to the ground in front of the ] Mennonite Church, but held fast to ; the lines and was dragged a consider able distance. He was finally forced to let go his hold and church folks \ saw the most exciting runaway for [ years. The horse, with two helpless I girls in the carriage, ran at break ! neck speed toward the Deep Run j school house and turned the corner i safely toward Bedminsterville. The i girls screamed for help and near Jo j sepli Kulp's place three boys, Mahlou ; Wasser, Francis Wasser and Menno ; Myers jumped from their wagon and ! stopped tiie frightened animal. Town Sued for Epidemic. j Coatesville. —Mrs. 15. F. Aumant has ! instituted suit against the borough for | $15,000 damages because her husband recently died of typhoid fever.

While [ working about a train of rolls, his I gloved hand was caught in the rapidly revolving machinery, and in a twink ling Carr's arm was torn off at the shoulder. Otherwise his entire body must have passed between the rollers, t His chance of recovery is considered ! good. Parson Twice Stops Fight. Shamokin. —The Rev. J. S. Brown, : pastor of the United Brethren Church, j Tharptown, ended a small riot in that place by boldly plunging into the midst of eigjit half-intoxicated, strug gling men in front of a saloon. 11 caught the ringleader and hurried him into a residence, close by; but th* man soon returned to his companions, when another fight ensued.
