WOULD HAVE MEN GO FIRST
Suffragette Says Women on IT.
tanic Should Have Held Back.
fBv Telegraph TO The Tribune

BY 1eleRrapD 10 he lrlDunc
Philadelphia, April 19.-Miss Ida
Stokes Adams, prominent suffragette,
to-day declared that the women pas
sengers Of the Titanic lost one Of the
greatest chances ever presented in the
cause Of suffrage, that they did not as
sert themselves and prove that they are
on the same plane with many men from
the point OF view of personal courage.
"Of course, II Is hard TO answer
whether the women and children should
have had preference in such disaster,
but don't think they should have had.
| think the women should have insisted
that the boats be filled with an equal
number Of men and women, or that even
the men should have had an equal
chance of saving themselves even
though in brute strength they are
stronger. 1t would have been a wonder
full thing for the suffrage cause IL this
had been done.
wears from now there will be similar
accidents, and / venture TO say that the
men and women will share the disaster
alike. The women will not be content to
be taken care Of. They will endeavor to
save the men.
After making this prediction Miss
Adams praised the men of the Titanic
for their heroic conduct.

Man with Him on Bridge of the
Titanic When She Sunk Says
He Ordered Work of
Rescue to Last.
TRIED TO SAVE A CHILD
Just as Giant Ship Went Down
He Seized Little One and
Leaped Into Sea-Water
Knee Deep Before
He Jumped.

All the survivors of the Titanic's crew
assert with emphasis that Captain Smith
did not commit suicide but died a
sailors death.
One Of the firemen who was on the
bridge with him when the ship went
down said that Captain Smith jumped
into the water when the bridge was
awash, and. so far as is known, no one
saw him after that.
Il was on the bridge deck" said the
fireman, whose name is James McGann.
Of Liverpool. II was helping to get off a
collapsibe boat. The last one was
launched when the water began TO break
over the bridge on which Captain Smith
stood We were not able to launch 1t
properly, so that it was overturned and
was used as raft, some thirty or so of
us, mostly fremen, clinging to It.
When the water reached Captain
Smiths knees and the last boat was a
least twenty feet from the ship ! was
standing beside him.
He gave one look all around. His
face was firm and his lips hard set. He
looked as If he might be trying to keep
back the tears as he thought Of the
doomed ship.
Suddenly he shouted: Well boys.
It's every man for himself now. Then
he took one Of two little children who
were on the bridge beside him. They
were both crying. He held the child, |
think it was a little girl, under his right
arm and he jumped into the sea.
"All Of us jumped. / jumped right
after the captain. but grabbed the re-
naming child before ! did so. When |
struck the water the cold was so great
that / had 10 let go my hold on the
kiddie. The next thing ! knew I was
swept toward the last collapslble boat
which had been launched-the over
turned one. I clambered aboard.
1T was the Intention of Captain Smith
TO put the two little ones on the boat
but when II overturned it was swept
away, and many OF those who jumped as
the ship went down, as did, were saved
by IT. There we're about thirty OF us
clinging to il all night, until the Car
pathia picked us up. All our legs were
frsotbitten and we were all I'm the hos
pital for a day at least.
Il looked around for Captain Smith
after ! got on the overturned boat. but
he was nowhere in sight.
How did he act on the bridge while
I was there? Always directing the low
ering of the boats himself, and he was
always shouting: Women and children
first i think that when he struck the
water the cold made him let go his hold
on the child, and he must have been
swept away from the boats. Anyway, l
don't think he wanted to live after see
Ing how things went There were dead
bodies all around floating in the water
when he jumped, and think It broke
his heart"

NO PREFERENCE AMONG MEN
Some Millionaires Drowned and
Some Steerage Men Saved.

London. April 20.-"The Times in an
editorial pays warm tribute 10 the be-
havior Of the millionaires on the Titanic
1t says:
After the women IT was clearly a
matter OF pure chance which men were
saved. Most Of the milionaires were
drowned. while many third class pas
sengers were saved Indeed. 1t is, estab-
lished beyond doubt that the millionaires
were treated exactly like any one else
and that they gave an exhibition OF
courage. self-restraint and obedience to
orders second TO none"
