ASTOR DIES LIKE HERD
Helped Ills Bride Into Boat, Then
 Turned to the Help of Others.

New York.-"MaJor Archibald Butt and John Jacob Astor died like he roes."
 This was the statement of Mrs. Churchill Candee of Washington who was taken from the Carpathia, both her legs were broken. She was hur- ried in an ambulance to hospital. Mrs. Candee said she sustained her injuries while getting into a lifeboat.
 Most of the men saved, she declar- ed, were picked up from the water, having plunged overheard after the lifeboats had been launched. Before she could tell more of her story she was hurried away.
 rible experience the girl-bride of John Jacob Astor was declared by Nicholas Riddle, trustee of the Astor estate to be "in no danger whatever" Her physicians had given orders that neither Mrs. Astor nor her maid, who was saved with her, be permitted to talk about the disaster.
 On landing from the Carpathia the young bride, widowed by the Titan. ic's sinking, told members of her fam fly what she could recall of the cir. cumstances of the disaster-of how Col. Astor met his death she had no definite conception. As MT. Riddle recounted her narrative, she had nc very clear recollections of the happen ings until the boats were well clear of the sinking steamer.
 Her impression was that the boat she left in had room for at least 15

St. Francis Causes Alarm.
 The principal alarm now felt is con- cerning the continued rise of the St. Francis river, which continues to rise. While the flood waters are falling at Hulburt, Edmonson and other points near the Mississippi, they are rising at Madison and other points near the southern extremity of the St. Francis. Now that the St. Francis is reported at a stand at Marked Tree, near it's northern end, it is hoped that it will soon fall throughout it's entire length.
 The L'Anguille, a sluggish stream which empties into the St. Francis, is also rising, presumably from back water from the St. Francis.
 Water Falls at Lake Village.
 The water fell little less than an inch in "A hours at Lake Village, but is still between five and six feet deep in the business section of the city. It is expected that the city will be under water for at least two weeks longer
 Number of Refugees Increases.

Flood Deuastation Continues

Little Rock.-Ruin and destruction still follow in the wake of the Missis- Sippi valley flood. Drops in tempera- ture and rain have caused added suf fering to the homeless thousands of refugees.
 Since the first of the month, when levees began to break, water has spread over hundreds of square miles of territory inundating it of human beings and drowning live stock and wild game. In the refugee camps many stories of narrow escapes are told by persons who had remained till the last moment before fleeing.
 In the flooded districts one could get into a boat and travel for miles in any direction without seeing any

 Wild Game Slaughtered.
 From all the flodded districts come stories of the slaughter of wild game. It is said that there is no restriction being placed on the hunters. Game is very tame, as several people have captured live deer without much trouble are keeping and feeding them.
 Stock Loss Is Heavy.
 The heaviest loss that the farmers will have to bear will be caused by live stock being drowned. Those who have been to the flodded scenes say dead bodies of live stock can be seen floating around in the water.

more persons. The chief steerage steward of the Titanic who came in on the Carpahtia, says he saw Col. Astor standing by the life-ladder as the passengers were being embarked. His wife was beside him, the steward said. The colonel left her to go to the purser's for moment, and that was the last seen of him.
 The conduct of Col John Jacob Astor was deserving of the highest praise," Col. Archibald Oracle de- clared. "The millionaire New York er," he said, devoted all his energies to saving his young bride, nee Miss Force of New York, who is in delicate health. Col. Astor helped us in our efforts to get her in the boat. I lifted her into the boat, and as she took her place Col Astor requested permission of the second officer to go with her for her own protection.
 No sir" replied the officer. Not man shall go on a boat until the women are all off, Col. Astor then in- quired the number of boats which were being lowered away, and turned to the work of clearing the other boats and in reassuring the frightened and nervous women.
 Mrs. Isador Straus," he said, went to her death because She would not desert her husband. He pleaded with her to take her place in the boat, but she steadfastly refused. and when the ship settled at the head the two were engulfed by the great wave that swept over the wreck"

Caring for the Refugees.

To make the suffering more intense the present flood followed bad farm ing year and found great many In- prepared to help themselves in any way as they had no money or food laid by in case of emergency. When these refugees began to gather in the towns, cities and camps it became a problem of caring for them. Ap- peal was made to the outside world asking that aid be given to relieve the suffering. Congress responded by an appropriation of s950,000, most of which was to go towards succoring the refugees. A later appropriation of $300,000 was made for the same purpose.

ConqressionaI investigation.

Pas Franklin, vice president of the White Star line, and Senator William Alden Smith, chairman of the Senate Investigating Committee held a conference aboard the Car pathia soon after the passengers had gone ashore. After nearly an hour Senator Smith came out of the cabin, and said he had no au- thority to subpoena witnesses at this time, but would immediately begin an investigation into the cause of the loss of the Titanic at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. He an nounced that Mr. Ismay had con sented to appear at the hearing, and that MT. Franklin and the four surviving officers of the Titanic would appear for examination. He said the course the investigation would follow would be determined after the preliminary hearing.

Western Newspaper Union Newr Service. New York.-Seven hundred and for heart and body, wrote into the annals of maritime history on their arrival ever built by man.
 They were the survivors of the White Star liner Titanic, which sank, bow foremost, with 1,595 souls aboard, her coIors flying and her band playing "Nearer, My God. to Thee," in 2,ooo fathoms of water off the banks of Newfoundland under starIit skies at 2:20 a. m. Monday.
 With one voice they told of the splendid herosm of those who re- maIned behind to find watery grave that they might live.
 Captain Smith died, they said, as a gallant sailor should, after first hav- Ing placed all the women who would oo aboard the life boats. There were many who stald behind to die in their husbands arms.
 From their narratives stand out in beId relief these facts:
 The Titanic was making 21 knots an hour when she struck the iceberg. No one at first thought that she would sink.
 She remained afloat more than two hours.
 The iceberg ripped open her bowels below the water line.
 Panic was averted by Captain Smiths terse appeal to his crew: "Be British, my men,"
 A small number of steerage passen- gers tried to rush for the Iifeboats other passengers.
 The Titanic turned her nose for the bottom when the last Ifeboat was less than a hundred yards away, reared her stern high In the air and trem- bted for a moment before seeking the bottom. ~,There were two explosions when the inruehing waters reached her boilers.
 When she sank there was silence; a moment later the cries and suppIi- cations of 1,50o dying men rose in melancholy chorus over the spot where she went down.
 For hours the survivors roWed in Ilfeboats over the calm sea before the Csrpathia picked them up.
