BOATS LOWERED AWAY

Game of Cards in the Cabin Was

to Come on Deck With Life
Preservers and Take to Boats

NEW YORK, April 1S.--The follow
ing statement is the account of Mr.
Beasley of London: II had been in my
berth for about 10 minutes when at
about 11:15 p. m. l felt a slight jar
and soon after a second one, but not
sufficiently heavy to cause any anxiety.
However. the engines stopped imme-
diately afterward and l went up to the
boat deck in my dressing gown and
found only q few people there, who
had come up similarly to inquire why
we had stopped.
1--WE saw through the smoking room
window game of cards going on and
went in to inquire If they knew any
thing. 1t seemed they felt more of the
jar. and looking through the windows
had seen huge Iceberg go by close to
the side of the ship. They thought we
had just grazed it with a glancing
blow and the engines had been stopped
to see if any damage had been done.
No one, of course. had any conception
that she had been pierced below by
part of the submerged iceberg

idea of holding annual conventions to
confer on the best methods OF ad-

of the state. At the recent eonven-
ton they gave their approval and
promised support Of their newspapers
to a policy which might very well be
taken up by the people, as well as by
the newspapers, in all parts of the
state
This policy is to give the preference
in all cases to the use of the made

brought from abroad, and to inculcate
that policy as far as possible upon all
Of the readers Of their newspapers.

Nations to Cooperate


NEW YORK, April 1--we, I'M
dersigned surviving passengers on the
Titanic. in order to forestall any SEN
sational or exaggerated statements
deem 1t our duty to give the press
statement of the facts which have
come to our knowledge and which we
believe to be true.
"On April IA. 1912, at about 11:4O
p. m on a cold star-lit night in a
smooth sea and with no moon, the
ship struck an iceberg which had
been reported to the bridge by look
outs, but not early enough to avoid
collision Steps were taken tosas-
certain the damage and to save the
passengers and ship Orders were
given to put ON life preservers and the
boats were lowered.
The ship sank about 2;30 a. m
Monday and the usual distress signals
were sent out by wireless and rockets
at intervals from the ship. Fortunate
ly the wireless message was received
by Cunard's Carpathia at about mid
night and she arrived on the scene of
the disaster about a. m. Monday.

WENT DOWN WITH SHIP
AND CAME OUT ALIVE
Experience of Col. Oracle Who
Gives Thrilling Personal Ex-
perience After Wreck

NEW YORK. April 1S.-Colonel
Archibald Oracle, u. s. A, went down
with the vessel but was picked up. He
told remarkable story of personal
hardship and denied emphatically re-
ports that there had been any panic
on board He praised in the highest
terms the behavior of both passengers
and crew and contributed a high trib-
ute to the heroism of the women
passengers.
Colonel Oracle told how he was
driven to the topmost deck when the
ship settled and was the sole sur
vivor after the wave that swept over
her just before her final plunge, had
passed. Il jumped clear of the wave. -
he said, Just as l have jumped at
the sea shore. When the ship plunged
down was swirled around and
around and around for what seemed
to be an interminable time. Event
ually l came to the surface to find
the sea a mass of tangled Wreckage.
Luckily l was unhurt and seized a

warn them away. Had we made any
effort to save them We might all have
persisted. Col. Oracle says the hours
until they were picked up by the
Carpathia were the longest and most
terrible ever spent. He denied with
emphasis that any men were fired

FACT STILL REMAINS
ABOUT HIGH SPEED
Captain of Carpathia Testifies
That There Was No Censoring
of Wireless Reports But That
Lone Operator Was Swamped

NEW YORK, April 19.--The living
cared for, the dead beyond recall, the
su. vivors of the Titanic disaster were
able for the first time today to see In
a calmer retrospect Mondays tragedy,
and from the normal utterances there
is slowly unfolding a new story of how
the great steamer, her band playing
to the last. sank off Grandbanl<s. with
more than 1909 souls aboard. Even
after all has been told of the disaster.
the death list remains approximate.
Last nights total estimate was 1895.
Today the White Star Line issued a
statement placing the loss of life at
1885. How many are dead may never
be known.
Boat Going at High Speed
1t has been officially established,
however, that the Titanic was travel
ing at Fl knots an hour when she hit
the iceberg. Notwithstanding this none
of the survivors from the steerage to
the saloon have yet condemned Cap
tain Smith, who went down with the
ship, for the Titanic's rate of speed
which, brought out from the lips of j.
Bruce Ismay, president of the Inter-
national Mercantile Marine and man
aging director OF the White Star Line,
who appeared as a witness before the
United States senate committee, is
equivalent TO ABOUT 20 - lanu miles.
Isnay Before Committee
Nervous, but not in tears, as was
Captain Rostron of the Carpathia, who
followed him on the stand, Ismay told
in whispers of his escape from the
sinking liner. He was not sure in just
what boat he left the Titanic nor was
he sure how long he remained on it
after she struck He added however,
that before entering the life boat he
had been told there We're no more
women on deck. He also denied there
had been any censorship in MESA ges
from the Carpathia, and other wit
nesses. including Captain Rostrom,
bore him out in this with an explana-
ton that the lone wireless operator on
the Carpathia was swamped with per-
sonal m essages and was unable to send
matter to the press, although several
consistent accounts of what had hap
pened aboard the Titanic had been
obtained from the passengers.
II Is manifestly impossible for any
one to give an account of all that oc-
Cured Thus there are those who
maintained there were two or more
suicides among the officers. Captain
Smith, it would appear, went down
with the ship. There are seven pas
sengers who say that First Officer
Murdoch shot himself.

Blow back along the grassy ways

In lazy laughter from the lips
That marvel much II any kiss

Blow back the twitter or the birds
The lisp, the litter, and the words

That drenched the leaves that loved

In orchard lands OF long ago,
O memory, alight and sing
Where rosy-bellled pippins cling
And golden russets CLINT and CLEAN,

And drowsy winds. awake and fan

TRAPPER COMES IN
WITH MANY PELTS
J. D. Campbell of the Gold Hill
Country Says Animals Are
Growing Scarcer

J. ID. Campbell, trapper, who makes
his home in the Gold Hill country
where in the summer time he is Il
miner, came to North Yakima Thurs
day and brought with him bunch Of
pelts the result of his winters trap
ping. He will convert it into two or
three hundreds of dollars or perhaps
more. in case with which he will pros
ecute his summer work in mining
The pelts brought in by Mr. Camp
bell were those of small animals The
deer and the cougar and the bear ami
the larger animals leave the hills in
the winter and drop lower into the
valleys, but the weasels, the mink,
the lynx, the fisher and the martin
and such animals remain and it was
these that the trapper caught He
had a fisher or two and one lynx He
reports that he saw goat at two
different times through the winter and
that a black fox had been reported
to him a couple of times the past two
winters, but he had not seen it. There
are red fox and he had some of them
Animals Getting Scarce
Fur bearing animals, according to
Mr.. Campbell are getting scarce
They are afforded little or no protec-
ton and have been hunted hard for
many years past and the result is
that they are pot nearly as numerous
as they were a few years ago and the
hunting Of them is not as remunera-
tive
Mr. Campbell, who gets about the
hills on skis, says there is more snow
this winter than was the case last
year, and at a rough estimate he
would say that there is now six feet
in depth on the summit in the Gold
Hill region. It is the opinion of Mr..
Campbell that the O.-W. r.. e. ~
railway will make another survey be-
fore it builds it's line to Portland and
he believes that when another survey
is made the Naches Pass route will be
followed.
