Roosevelt Sentiment Waning.

I'm many of the states there was at
first a strong Roosevelt following. but
this has notably diminished from day to
day Letters written week later than
the first replies received reported a large
return of the Roosevelt veterans to the
republican camp and it was felt that
many more of them would be back with
. their old associations before election day.
The course of events at Chicago took many
Roosevelt followers back into the repub-
lican camp, and the course of ex-PreSl-
dent Roosevelt since the convention has
alienated incomparably more.
1.-The veterans are coming to see in the
charges against Taft the customary abuse
which has been showered upon every re-
publican candidate for President from the
days of Lincoln, and that very largely
the same element which bis now abusing
Taft has invariably opposed them i'll
every presidential election. The feeling
against this element is so strong that
active antagonism flares up at once. 1t
becomes more clear to them every day
that Roosevelt's candidacy means merely
the qualification of personal ambition and
revenge upon the republican party for not
nominating him. This strikes at once
harshly against their attachment to a
party with which they have affiliated all
their lives and whose glorious achieve
ments for the country are as much their
pride as are their victories in the field for
the government.

Total Reaches 100000.

AS there are 100000 veterans of the
civil war still on the pension roll, and
each one has sons, sons-in-law and other
relatives deeply interested in his welfare,
this makes a powerful influence against
Wilson in every one of the states which
sent great numbers of soldiers into the
war. and may be a controlling element
in the decision in November.
THE veterans are also grateful for the
many meritorious special bills passed in
behalf of needy veterans, and for the
protection afforded them by the Pres-
dent in government office. President Taft
issued strikt orders that all veterans
should be generously treated.
Letters from veterans in Maine. New
Hampshire. Vermont New York, Ohio,
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and the Dakotas say that there was
at first much bitter hostility TO the Presi-
dent on account of his reciprocity policy.
but that this has subsidized in the face
Of the greater fear of the coming of

cratic Congress.

Grateful to Taft.

- dded to this deep-seated sentiment
in the veterans is natural and sponta-
neous gratitude to President Taft and the
republican party for the passage of the
recent pension bill, which they all rec
ognize as far the most JUST equitable
and liberal pension bill ever passed. They
recognize that while the democrats claim
the entire credit for it, and are entitled
to some, yet the majority of the demo-
Gratis in both houses were strongly. Op-
posed to the measure, and 1T only sue
ceeded by the almost unanimous sup
port of the republicans. Only seven re-
publicans in both houses voted against
the bill. while the majority of the demo-
Gratis in both houses were in active OPP
position.
The veterans dread the election of
Gov. Wilson, who ~ supported most
strongly by the great newspapers and
magazines, which have, without eXcep-
ton. been bitterly opposed to any in
crease of pension Legislation and have as
sailed the pensioners with cruel and base
less malignity. They fear that Wilson S

rated, when he appointed q Secretary of
the Interior and commissioner of pen
sions strongly hostile to pensioners, and
who Immediately inaugurated four years

the pretense of investigation After
spending more than $2.UO,00O in this
rigid investigation, which extended
pension roll the results We're found to be
absolu ely insignificant compared to the
charges made, but the pensioners had
been terribly prosecuted all the same.

NO DEATH CLAIMS PAID
BY INSURANCE COMPANIES

NEW YORK, April 23.-No death
claims on the lives of those who per-
ished in the Titanic wreck have been
paid by the life insurance companies.
The large companies, including the
New York Life, Prudential, Mutual
and Equitable. nave not been heavily
hit, so far as is known. The New York
Life expects to pay out only SAB. 900 in
losses.
The Mutual has not discovered how
many policyholders it lost in the wreck.
The officers thought first that the com
pany had twenty poIicyholders among
the victims. but it was found later that
this estimate was incorrect. and that
few policies were outstanding on the
lives Of those who went down.
The accident insurance companies
were hard hit and some of these will
have to sell securities to meet the enor-
nous losses. One Hartford company
may have to pay 81. 100000 In claims.
This is double the face of the policies
involved. but the operation Of the "dou-
Bile liability clause makes the burden
twice as great as it would have been
for losses entailed on land or through
ordinary accidents such as explosions.
etc.
The double liability" clause applies
to all accidents occurring on public
conveyances which T propelled by
steam or electricity. The clause has
proven very popular and many thou
sands of policies have been taken out
by tourists who would not otherwise
have applied for such protection. In
this instance. however, 1t has cost the
companies a great deal of money

In private Mrs. Brown has privately
Ltold some of her experiences, which
her friends believe tend to prove will
tful negligence and inexcusable care
I~essness on the part of the company
and its officers.
The substance of her story is that
! after the Titanic struck the ships Of
ficers assured every one that there was
no immediate danger, and advised them
to return to their staterooms. Later,
after the manning and loading of the
lifeboats had been progressing for
some time passengers on the deck next
TO the upper or hurricane deck, were
notified to get up and get into the life
boats, by some one, not an officer OF
the ship, but thought by Mrs. Brown
to have been either Colonel Astor or
Major Butt. These two men, she said,
We're here. there and everywhere, work
ing to rescue women and children, and
doing much to prevent a panic.
The boat into which Mrs. Brown
was put was positively the last one,
and when the attempt mas made to
lower it, the ropes were stuck with
paint and would not go through the
pulleys until passengers scurried about,
got pocket knives and cut the paint
away.

two sailors aboard, neither one of

ing. and had to be coached by a stew
aFdess, who was in charge of the boat.
Mrs. Brown, a robust woman in the
early sixties, took the other oar, and
they were all later Spelled by others
in the boat. There was aboard neither
water nor food, nor n sail for the
single mast.
This was the BOAT into which Colonel
Aston put his wife and her maid, but
refused TO embark himself, saying, as
he kissed Mrs. Aston goodby, that he
would come on a later boat. Despite
her pleading he refused to either go
in that boat or allow her to retoin him
aboard the Titanic.
When those In Mrs. Browns BOAT got
way from the ship they could sec
scores of people jumping from her
decks and later picked up a man who
had been afioat some twenty minutes.
He took a seat at the base of the mast
and uttered not a word. When day
