Lady Duff Gordon, who with her
husband was among those picked up
in the Titanic's lifeboats by the S. s.
Carpathia. In describing the awful
scenes that followed the first shock OF
the collision Lady Gordon said that
she and her husband were in a lifeboat
about 1000 feet away from the Ii
tanic when the great vessel shudder-
ed from end to end under the impact
of two terrific explosions, in rapid sue
cession, then the great hulk slowly
lowered into the dark ice-coVered
waters, while the shrieks that were
sent up from those on the deck of the
great liner were so blood-curdling
that they could not be described. Lady
Gordon says the awful shrek lg con-
tinued even after the Titanic had dis
appeared beneath the surface, and
that number of those who were
drowned must have continued floating
around in the water, hanging to a
spar or other detachable part of the
ship for an hour or more. The re-
markable coolness displayed by the
men was wonderful" says the titled
fashion expert "As we were being
lowered from the deck of the Titanic,

GALVESTON, Tex, April 2S.-The
murder of American citizens, the as
sdulting of American women and the
pillaging OF American properties In the
state of Vera Cruz, Mexico, formed the
burden of the story told in Galveston
today. when the steamship Texas, ply
ing between the port of Vera cruz ana
Galveston, brought to the United
states a party of American refugees.
Members of the party were so affected
by the scenes through which they had
passed, and from which they had tied
to save their lives ana the women OF
their families from unspeakable IN
dignities, that the tales OF the recent
reign of terror which they passed
through were heavy with denuncla p
tions of the Madero government which
they say, makes hardly pretense or
offering adequate protection to Amerf~
can life or property. They tell OF tho
boycott placing against the products
of American plantations by Mexican
merchants and of the openly spoken
tests of the Mexicans, who ask, "Ot
what use is it to buy Of the Amerl-
.canos. since within few months what
is yours will be ours anyway"

No Crops This Year.

Tonight water stands from five to
fifteen feet deep over thousands of
acres Of fertile farm land of more than
half dozen parishes of northeastern
Louisiana, on which no crop can be
raised this year.
At Taullah, the parish east of Mad
lson parish, water is standing from
four to six feet deep in every business
house in the town. Very few resi-
dences are beyond the flood line ana
the people are traversing the streets
in skiffs and motor boats.
Practically every one of the several
hundred homeless negroes have been
driven to relief camps at Milliken
Bend. ten miles north Of Talullah.
A conservative estimate would place
the number of homeless at 1000, but
within a week twice that number will
be forced from their homes by the

heads Of several railroads involved
were also in conference here today

letter sent to the government repre-
sentatives. The letter of the railways
follows:
New York. April 23, 1912.
Hon. Martin A. Knapp. Presiding
Judge, L. S. Commerce Court.
Mr.. Chas. p. Neill. United States
Commissioner of Labor.
"Gentlemen:-You letter of April
22nd has been received in which you
advise that negotiations between the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers
and the conference committee of
managers of the Eastern Railways
have been. definitely broken off and
that grave situation has arisen which
threatens most serious consequences
to the public. In the emergency you
are impelled by the sense of duty to
tender your friendly offices to the
contendng parties in the hope that
the matters in dispute without the
calamity of a general strike
Thoroughly appreciating the value
Of your good offices and in the hope
that some means OF reaching a settle
ment can he devised that will spare
the public the grave consequence
that might follow that severance Of
relations, we will be hlad TO meet you
in conference"
THE Conference Committee of
Managers.
"By j. STUART, Chairman"
Immediately upon receipt of the
letter, Mr.. Neill announced his pro-
gram for immediate action toward
ending the trouble II possible. 1t Is
his intention to confer with the en-
gineers.
They will meet later to compare
notes. In this way he pointed out.
the contentins Of each side will be
protected by secrecy from the Others,
while giving the government repre-
sentatlves a basis upon which to work
for a settlement.
On behalf OF the railroads, follow
ing the giving out OF their letter, It
was stated that the decision to con-
fer with the government representa-
tives did not mean that they had
agreed to mediate. The position Of
the railroads. some stated. is that
they will hear what Mr. NELL has to
offer them. hut In case his proposals
are not satisfactory the railroads ar
free to refuse them. In this event,
affairs would return to their former
status. Despite this view, however.
the opinion was expressed generally
that the pending negotiations will re-
suit in arbitration. In this event. 1t
was stated, the provisions Of the Erd-
man law. which call for three arbi-
traitors. will be ignored and a board
of at least five, and perhaps seven
men named to paes on the questions
