Another witness has come forward to
support the Canadian army officer in his
contention that Ismay ordered faster
speed after receiving a marcOnigram
warning OF the nearness OF dangerous ice

of Minneapolis, first cabin passenger.
The major said that Mrs. Douglas was
with him on the Carpathia when Mrs.
RyeTson, Of Philadelphia, who lost her
husband and son on the Titanic, came
up to them and told them that she had
asked Ismay about the reported presence

there was suspicion that the police
were also on the job. In the phrase
oiogy of the society reporter, the
dancers we're simply and sttractiyely
gowned. They wore short green skirts
covered over with green fibre, bril-
lizntly red waists festooned with
wreaths Of yellow flowers, and their
own hair. Their feet and ankles were
hare-at least, this is the substance of
the report Of the gentlemen who occu-
pied the front seats.
The hula" dance-accordinR to DR..
Emerson, q distinguished gentleman
of Honolulu who has collected all the
varieties-is a religious performance
with infinite variation. We saw only
one variety, but could guess the rest.
II is far ahead of the Cairo perform
ances, for the Egyptian dance is a solo
and has no rhythm. II is superior to
the nautch and the Cingalese dances,
because there is no listlessness in the
Hawaiian movements. And, partly for
the same reason, it has the geisha beat
mile. The nearest thing to il is the
Cairo dance, however. But while the
Egyptian stands still in her tracks, the
hula" girl is circling about the stage
and swsying in perfect time-perhaps
chanting at the same time.
After It was all over, the front row
pronounced the dance all rishtF
But no one, so far as the investigation
has yet gone, agrees with DR.. Emer-
son that the hula" is essentially
dance to express or to arouse religious
emotions.

DESCRIBES LAST
MEAL ON TITANIC
ct Was the Gayest Night Of Trip
Among Diners" Says As
sistant Steward.

New York, n. Y, April 2o-Propped
up on pillows in bed in st. Vim
cents Hospital this afternoon, Thomas
Whitley, an assistant steYard in the
first saloon OF the Titanic, told q
reporter the first authentic story Of
the scene in the dining-room of the ship
on the night Of the disaster. He said;
1T was the gayest night Of the trip
among the diners. We had made great
time, and the probability was the Trip
would be record-breaker.
.'Orders had been issued Sunday to
make the dinner the fisest' ever served
on q ship, regardless OF expense, and the
orders were carried out. I believe IL was
soon after $50 when the passengers
strolied in Mr.. Ismay sat alone at a
table a few feet away from that Of Mr..
and Mrs. Astor. He was In corner.
The Astor table was to the right and
the captains table was In the center.
At Mr.. Astor's table Dr., O'boughlin, the
ships surgeon. was seated with his as
Eistant
There were some, other people there,
but donI know who they were. soon
after the dinner was served the fun
commenced Wine was served at the
Astor table, and the conversation was
very animated. The captain talked and
joked with Mr.. Astor, and occasionally
Mr. Ismay spoke. The one topic OF con-
Versation was the new boat and the
speed she was making. 1 did not see
the captain drink anything; i do not
think he ever INDUCED. As dinner prog
.sssed, the gayety Increased, and be-
lieve some bets were made as to the
speed of the boat At one time DR..
O'LoughIin stood up. and, raising glass
Of champagne, cried, Let US drink 10
the mighty Titanic
with cries of approval. everybody
drank to the toast believe il was gen
orally thought by all Of those at the
tables that the Titanic would reach New
York late Tuesday or early Wednesday
morning, and the captain and other offi-
GERS were planning a big banquet after
the landing in anticipation of the trip
record breaker. The dinner broke up
shortly before O'Clock, and the men
retired to the smoking rooms. Wholesome
of the women went to their staterooms,
and others strolled along the promenade.
We cleared the dining-room about 10
O'Clock and soon after 1 went to bed, TO
be awakened by the shock when we
struck the iceberg.
when l last saw the captain he was
in the water trying to place a baby in
one OF the lifeboats crowded with peo-
pie. Some women tried to drag him on
the boat. but he pulled away from them
and said: Save yourselves.
Il saw him go under, and he never
came up"
