OPPORTUNITY TO ESCAPE
REFUSED BY FUTRELLE:
Authors Wife Tells How He
Babe Her Save Herself
and Remained.

NEW YORK, April 19.-Jacques Fut-
relle, the author. was one OF the first
cabin passengers who parted with his
wife and steadfastly refused to accept a
chance to enter a nfeboat when he knew
that the Titanic was sinking under him.
The story Of how her husband went to
his death was told by Mrs. Futrelle last
night:
Il do not doubt that my husband is
dead, but even that knowledge cannot
make me suffer more. There could be
nothing worse than the mental anguish
through which l have passed since we
were rescued
Jacques Is dead. but he died like a
hero. that l know. Three or four times
after the crash I rushed up to him and
clasped him in my arms and begged him
to get into one OF the hfeboats.
For Gods sake GOT he fairly
screamed at me as he tried to push me
away, and I could see how he suffered.
It's your last chance, go: Then one OF
the ships officers forced me into a life.
boat, and l gave up all hope that he could
be saved
Mrs. Futrelle could say nothing more
about her experiences on the Titanic or
while floating heipiessly about in one OF
the lifebOats anxiously awaiting the ar.
rival Of some ship. Friends and relatives
who had met her at the pier would per-
NIT no further questions to be asked her

METHODS OF STATE WORK

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Feb. In his annual re-
port just delivered to the governor,
State Auditor Leddy suggests the fol-
lowing reforms in the states methods
of doing business:
Private persons should not be paid
county money for auditing county
books.
An annual inventory of all proper
ty. real, personal ana mixed in state
institutions, boards, bureaus and de-
partments, should be taken, to pre-
vent chance of graft.
On request of the governor. the at
torney general should be empowered
and obliged to prosecute irregulari-
ties in counties where the district at
torney refuses to act.
The statute on classifications of ap-
preparations should be amended to
prevent litigation.
In his report Leddy recommends to
the governor that his suggestions be
incorporated into law and that the
same be passed by the next legisla-
ture. He also urges that all bills car
rying appropriations be submitted
first to the attorney general before
passage to insure their legality.
