Widowed by Disaster Mrs. AstOr is
Saved.

New York, April 18.-While utter
ly exhausted from her experiences,
Mrs. John Jacob Astor was declared
tonight by Nicholas Biddle, a trustee
of the Astor estate, to be in no dan
ger whatever. Her physicians, how
ever, had given orders that neither
Mrs. Astor nor her maid, who was
saved, were to be permitted to talk
about the disaster.
On landing from the Carpathia the
young bride, widowed by the Titallc's
sinking, told members of her family
what she could recall of the circum-
stances of the disaster. Of how Col
onel Astor met his death she had no
definite conceptions. AS Mr.. Biddle re-
counted her narrative, she had no
very clear recollections Of the hap
penings until boats were well clear q
the sinking steamer. Her impressfc
was that the boat in which she left
had room for at least Is more per-
sons.
The chief steerage steward of the
Titanic, who came in On the Carpa-
thia, says he saw Col. Astor standing
by the life ladder as the passengers
were being embarked. His wife was
beside him, and the steward said the
colonel left her to go to the purser's
Office for moment and that was the
last seen Of him.

SURVIVORS TELL STORY
OF TITANIC DISASTER
CONTINUED FROM PAGE p.

in the upright position some minutes
and we watched at least $50 feet Of the
Titanic towering up above the level
of the sea and looming black against
the sky. Then, with quiet, slantlng
dive, she disappeared beneath the wa
ter and our eyes had looked for the
last time On the gigantic vessel. ana
there was left to us the gently heaVlng
sea, the boat filed to standing room
with men and women in every concelV-
able condition of dress and undress.
"And then thereon the ear the most
appalling noise that human being ever
listened to-the cries Of hundreds OF
our fellow beings struggling in the icy
cold water, crying for help with cry
that we knew could not be answered,
eve tried to sing to keep the women
from hearing the cries and roWed
hard to get away from the scene of the
wreck, but I think those sounds will
be one thing the rescued will find it
difficult to eface from memory.
eve kept a lookout for lights and
about 8 a. m. saw faint lights showing
in the sky, which turned out to be only
the northern lights.
presently low down on the horizon
we saw double light. They proved
to be the masthead light and a deck
light below of a rescuing steamer. We
swung around and headed for her.
The steersman shouted: "FNow, boys
sing and for the first time, the boat
broke into song with Row for the
Shore, Boys and for the first time
tears came to the eyes of US all, as we
realized that safety was at hand. The
song was sung, but it was very poor
imitation of the real thing, for quiet
evening voices make poor songs. A
cheer was given next, and that was
better"

He .Dfed Like a Soldier"

Washington, April 18.-President
Taft waited up until after midnight
hoping that some of the Titanic's SIR
vivors might tell something of Maj.
Archibald Butt, his military aide, who
undoubtedly was lost in the catastr"-
phe.
Col. Gracie's story, which made no
mention of Maj. Butt, blasted the last
hope and the president completely
surrendered to his worst fears. Secre-
tary Hilles remained at. the White
House and took the bulletins to the
president as they came fresh off the
wires.
When the last hope seemed to be
gone, the president repeated wha. re
had said earlier in the day:
81 know Archie died like soliier."
President Taft told visitors late to-
day that he had never expected 10

military aide, after the first shocking
news of the Titanic disaster re tche6

Stuck to His Post to the Last Jump

New York, April 19.-H. Haven, OF
Indianapolis, said that the Titanic was
going at high speed when it struck.
"a large section of plates on the
starboard side ripped off. The water
poured in. There was a great rush
for life boats when it became known
that there was danger. So precipi-
tate was the rush that many leaped

burning though the ship sank lower

figures of hundreds people On deck

amidship. We saw people sliding off
into the water both fore and aft.
Then the boat settled by the bow and
the light went out That was the
last we saw of the Titanic.

Mrs. Astor cried out and wanted to

The story of the heroism of Major
Butt on the Titanic was told today in
an interview given to the Washington
Stars correspondent in New York by
Miss Marie Young. Miss Young is
believed to have been the last woman
to leave the Titanic and the last of
the survivors to have talked with the
presidents military aide.
She and Major Butt had long been
friends, Miss Young having been a
special music instructor to the chill
dren of former President Roosevelt,
Miss Young said:
Smiling in Face of Death.
"The last person to whom I spoke
On board the Titanic was Archie Butt,
and his good, brave face, smiling at
me from the deck, was the last I could
distinguish as the boat was pulled
away from the steamers side.
archie himself put me into the
boat, wrapped blankets around me
and tucked me in as carefully as if we
were starting on a motor ride. He
himself enterd the boat with me, per-
forming the little courtesies as calmly
and with as smiling face as if death
were far away instead of being but a
few moments removed from him.
when he had carefully wrapped me
up, he stepped upon the gunwale of
the boat and, lifting his hat, smiled
down at me.
"GOOd-bye."
"|Good-bye, Miss Young he said,
bravely and smilingly. Luck is with
you. Will you kindly remember me to
all the folks back homer
Then he stepped to the deck of the
steamer and the boat l was in was
lowered to the water. 1t was the last
boat to leave the ship; of this ] am
perfectly certain. And l know that l
am the last of those who were saved
to whom Archie Butt spoke.
Gas our boat was lowered and left
the side of the steamer, Archie was
still standing at the rail, looking down
at me. His hat was raised and the
same old genial, brave smile was on
his face

when the order came to take to
the boats he became as one in su-
preme command. You would have
thought he was at White House re-
ception, so cool and calm was he.
When the time came he was a man to
be feared. In one Of the earlier boats
fifty women, it seemed, were about to
be lowered when man, suddenly pan
ic-stricken, ran to the stern of it. Ma
jor Butt shot one arm out, caught him
by the neck and jerked him backward
like pillow. His head cracked
against the rail and he was stunned.
"'sorry,' said Major Butt, "women
will be attended to first or I'll break
every damned bone in your body
"Thank God For Archie Butt"
"The boats were lowered away, one
by one, and as stood: by my husband,
he said to me: Thank God for Archie
Butt Perhaps Major Butt heard it,
for he turned his face toward US for a
second. Just at that time a young
man was arguing to get into lifeboat
and Major Butt had hold of the lad
by the arm like big brother and ap-
peared to be telling him to keep his
head.
"How inspiring he was. I stayed
until almost the last and know what
a man Archie Butt was. They put me
in collapsible boat. I was one of
three women from the first cabin in
it. The rest were steerage people.
Major Butt helped those poor fright
ened steerage people so wonderfully
tenderly and yet with such cool and
manly frmness. He was a soldier to
the last. He gave up his life to save
others"

Jury Brings Verdict Of Murder In
First pegree-Penalty Is
Electric Chair.

New York, N. Y.--Police Lieut..
Charles Becker was found guilty Of
murder in the first degree by the jury
which has been trying him for insti-
eating the death of Herman Rosen-

Becker was remanded for sentence
to the Tombs by Justice Golf until

John f. Mcintyre, Becker's chief
counsel, announced that he would
take an immediate appeal, but added
beyond this he had nothing to say.
The charge to the jury, in effect,
was a ruling that the guilt or limo
cence OF the prisoner rested almost
solely upon the point as to whether
Sam Schepps was an accomplice to
the crime.
