IS CENSURED
Said to Have Failed to Take
Stand on Liquor Question
When Chance Offered.

Matthew Z. O'Brien of Washington,
national committeeman Of the prohibition
party, charges Theodore Roosevelt with
falling to take any definite stand on the
liquor question, although. Mr.. OBrien
says, the colonel is doing his best to get
votes in the coming election among be-
levers in prohibition
Mr. O'Brien has just returned TO the
city from Waukesha, Wis, where he at
tended the meeting at which Eugene w.
Chain was formally notified of his NOM
ination for the presidency on the pro-
hibition ticket.
Despite the fact that Col Roosevelt
has tried to lead people to believe that
he favored laws prohibiting the inter
state shipment of liquor into prohibition
territory" said Mr.. O'Brien today. the
colonel refused to have a plank TO this
effect in the bull moose platform.
In Tentative Platform.
II attended the bull moose convention
and was asked to speak on the subject
at public meeting of the platform COM
mittee. The plank was put in the tenta-
tive platform. but was later opposed by
Roosevelt. The former President can do
a lot Of talking on reform, but when a
real reform plank was suggested he re-
pudiated it. The convention, as / sized
it up, was composed of a lot of political
idolaters worshiping a false god. who will
lead them to perdition rather than to
salvation
"A full, complete and comprehensive
platform for the party, expressing its
principles and its excuse for existence
should have read: we favor making
the will of Theodore Roosevelt the SUI
preme law Of the land
1.-The excuse was given that the colonel
was anxious to have the platform short,
but L think that IL he were sincere on the
liquor question he could have put some
thing in his plank about il"

AssOCldIeu tTeSS.
New York City, Apr 19.-The fol-
lowing statement was issued by the
survivors OF the Titanic and made
public last night:
ITO forestall exaggerated and in
accurate statements we The under
signed make the following state
ment:
ON Sunday, April IA, at 11:40
p. m. the Titanic struck the iceberg.
1t was a cold, starlight night with no
moon. The sea was quiet. The berg
was reported. but not soon enough.
Orders were given to don the life
belts, and the boats were lowered.
Immediately following the colli-
sion steps were taken to ascertain the
extent of the disaster and to save the
lives of the passengers by the Off
GERS and the crew. The vessel went
down at 2:20 n. m. Monday morning
The usual distress signals were sent
out by wireless and rockets were fir
ed every few moments. The Carpa-
thia, which received our signals by
wireless and rushed with all speed
to our assistance arrived at 4 in the
morning. During the intervals the
officers and passengers of the Car
pathia had prepared for our coming
! ana we were received Win great tell
derness and care. Passengers gave
up their staterooms to all rescued
without regard to class and every
| thing was done that was possible for
our comfort There were IA large
life boats, two smaller ones and two
collapsable boats and plenty of pre-
servers. As far as We can ascertain
/ there We're $50 first class passengers
| aboard, $40 second class and $50
steerage. A total of 400 passengers
and a crew of $40 or total of 2,340.
OF the saved there were 210 firss
class, 1873 second class and 200 steer
age. Four officers. SO seamen. sc
stewards, and II firemen, or total
saved of 745. This is so per cent of
the normal capacity of the life boats.
The inadequate supply of life saving
apparatus should be commented upon
at this time. There were not enough
officers or seamen to handle the en-
ergency. and there was also an insult
ficiency of search lights.

HEART BREAKING SCENES

when we reached the deck every
thing was in the widest confusion.
rhe screams of women and shrill
cries of the officers were drowned in
termittently by the tremendous vi
brations of the Titanic's deep-bass
.og horn. The behavior of the men
was magnificent. They held back
without murmuring and urged the
women and children into the life
boats. few towards tried to scram-
bile into the boats, but they were
quickly thrown back by the others
Let me say now that the only men
saved were those who were taken in
to the lifeboGts or We're picked up
