New York, April 17.-If John
Jacob Aston went down in the last
death struggle of the Titanic, as
wireless reports state, the Aston for.
tunes and the Aston traditions rest
upon the. shoulders of young VII.
liam Vincent Aston, the last male
survivor Of the famous line in New!
York.
To the city in which the name Of
Aston is household word the death
Of Aston and the shifting of his es-
tate to the shoulders of the 21-year-
old Vincent means the beginning oil
a new regime in the world of society
and the world of finance.
John Jacob Astor was a director
of the Aston Trust Company, the
Illinois Central Railroad. the Mer
camille Trust Company, the Morton
Trust Company and numerous other
great financial enterprises.
He was also a member of the
Chamber of Commerce, the New
York Botanical Garden, the New
York Geological Society, the Society
of Colonial Wars, the Military Order
of Foreign Wars, the American Geo
graphical Society, the Metropolitan
Museum Of Art, the American Mu-
scum of Natural History and the New
York Academy of Sciences.
He was an enthusiastic sportsman
and owned large string of autom0
biles. He was also fond of riding,
yachting and tennis and his clubs
were too numerous to mention.
The Aston estate, including valu-
able real estate In New York, is esti-
mated at $150,OO0,000. John Jacob
Astor's young daughter, Muriel,
lives with her mother, who divorced
him, in London.
Upon his property at. Thirty

Aston started the construction OF the
Astoria Hotel, adjoining the Wal

Waldorf Aston. The two were mers-

the Netherland. Aston, st. Regis and

Knickerbocker hotels, and the Put

on Seventh avenue, south of the Ho-

1.-THE MAN ON THE BRIDGE LIKE
PR0PHESY OF GREATEST DISASTER

New York, April 17.--1n view of
the Titanic disaster, Charles Terry
D@aney's vivid story, THE Man on
the Bridge" in the Atlantic Month
ly for May, 1910, seems almost like
prophecy. Delaney who is himself
a master of long standing, predicted
just such an accident as occurred
Sunday nj 5ht, and declared that,
under regulations which compel the
master to remain sleepless at his
post for impossible periods, the safe
ty of the passengers is more a mat
ter of chance than wise provision.
Without sleep, says the author, no
man is fit to have in his hands the
destinies of thousands of fellow be-
ings and the fortunes of huge yes
sci. cat times" he insists, "the
matter Is no more fit to be left in
change than is a lunatic"
What Regulations Are.
Under the British regulations the
master must be upon the bridge at

all times during fog. AS the fog
often extends from the banks clear
in to New York, 1t is impossible to
realize what this means.
~ have seen a, master 0 years Of
age or the thereabouts,' asserts De-
laney, stand on the bridge for more
than 70 hours with eyes that were
useless through strain and hearing
impaired through constant shrieking
of the fog whistle. Is it right to
expect such a man to command in
case of emergency? In justice TO
the master and passengers alike
should not the command be handed
over to the second officer?
Certainly, during the early
stages of the fog he is the right man
in the right place If assisted by
good officers, but after his limit Is
reached, he is in the way. +

ICEBERG THAT SANK TITANIC

designer of the battleship Oregon
was asked today it, from hts knowlL

OF great vessels, he could give tht
probable immediate results of. the
crash with the iceberg and the direct
cause Of the Titanic's sinking. /
