CAPT. SMITH SAVED
 BABY FROM DEATH

New York, April 19.-George Broden of Los Angeles, an athlete who was rescued, said:
 q saw Henry B. Harris when he bade his wife good bye. Both started toward the side of the boat where lifeboat was being lowered. Mir Harris was told it was the rule for women to leave the ship first.
 Yes. I know will stay Harris said.
 Shortly after the lifeboats left man jumped overheard. Other men followed It was like sheep following leader
 Captain Smith was washed from the bridge into the ocean. He swam to where baby was drowning and carried it in his arms while he swan to a li.eboat. He surrendered the baby to them and swan back to the steamer.
 About the time Captain Smith got back there was an explosion. The en- tire ship trembled. I had obtained life about 50 yards from the steamer when there was a series of explosions. l looked back and saw the Titanic go down bow first.
 Hundreds of persons were In the water at the time. When the great steamer went down they shrieked ,hysterically.
 When I jumped from the steamer the band still was playing. I was in the wa ter four hours. clnging to a piece of wreckage when I was picked up by a lifeboat At every stroke the oars hit a body.

ANOTHER VERSION OF
 COL. ASTOR'S DEATH

New York, April 19.-Miss Margaret Hays of this city, a survivors of the Ti- tanic, gave still another version of the manner in which Colonel Astor met his death.
 "Colonel Astor with his wife came out on deck as I was being assisted into a lifeboat," said Miss Hays, and both got into another boat. Colonel Astor had his arms about his wife and assisted her into the boat. At the time there were no women waiting to get into the boats and the ships officer at that point invited Col onel Astor to get into the boat with his wife. The colonel, after looking around and seeing no women, got into the boat and hIs wife threw her arms about him.
 ''The boat in which Colonel Astor and his wife were sitting was about to nc lowered when woman came running out of the companion way. Raising his hand Colonel Astor stopped the preparations to lower his boat and stepping. out assisted the woman into the seat he had occupied Mrs. Astor cried out ana wanted to get out of the boat with her husband but the colonel patted her on the back and said something in low tone. As the boat was being lowered I heard him say: The ladies will have to go first
