we Saw very lllLlS Ol Liiil. AAO mained in his cabin practically from the time he came aboard. ''But this I do know, and know positively" added Mrs. Skidmore. MT. Ismay is the man who controlled the wireless situation. He was the man who directed what should and what should not be sent. We could send home all the messages we want cd to It was so easy to get messages through that we passengers thought nothing of the suspense caused by the censorship Why, I could have sent message to Bridgeport any time. There were dozens and dozens of mes- sages sent and received but they were all personal matters. The order was that there should not be sent word to the newspapers of the disaster. l know that Mir. Ismay was responsible for this condition"
 At this juncture MT. Skidmore, who is a noted artist, and who had been engaged with one of his art stu- dents joined the group. MT. Skid more's drawings showing the Titanic's s fate after the collision appear in The Farmer today. They were based up- on the vivid description furnished him by a young student who was among the last to leave the Titanic. MT. Skidmore's drawing give a compre- l1ensive idea of the manner the Ti- tanic met her fate. He is a member of the faculty of Pratt Institute, also a teacher in the School of Applied Sciences New York.
 He took an active part in the de- tailing of the rescue.
 'So far as we know" said he "every man who was saved acted the part of the man, but one. They told us he was a Prussian noble, a baron. The survivors told us he crowded his way into one of the first life boats, brushed women and children aside, precious hide."
 MT. Skidmore's face broke into a grim smile.
 "Do you remember that scene in 'Kismet' where the villain is held un- der water, unable to breathe, in pun ishment for his sins?'' he asked. Well, I displayed so much feeling against that scamp, that the people aboard began to call me .Kismet.' And they were right. I had hard work to keep my hands off the fel- low. He ought to be published to the world as a fine example of what a human ought not to be. I'm very sorry I can't think of his name." he added regretfully.
 MT. Skidmore would not tell the story he had heard of the supposed nobleman. But other passengers were not so reticent.
 "I'll tell you about that scamp" sang out another passenger of the Carpathia. 'I'll tell you why he didn't show his head from the time he came aboard.
 .He jumped into a life boat, brush ing aside men and women, long before the fear of great danger came over the great liner.
 "One of the seamen handling the life boat ordered him out. He did so gently, for the situation was not sup posed to be critical, and the life boats were being manned, the passengers supposed-as a matter of form

like woman's scream than the ex- clamation of strong man, he said | that he would shoot down the frs, one who laid hands on him. Returning to the story of the res | cue from the life boats, Mrs. Skid
 more said that the Carpathia took the
 last of the Titanic survivors aboard about 2 o'clock. One of the life boats had raised a sail to attract attention. At first it was mistaken, in the dis tance for the head of an ice berg. There was one girl, fine looking Irish girl, who had sailed for Van couver, to be married. There was a baby in her arms, somebody's child
 snatched from the sea. The poor girl knew she held the little treasure un- til it was taken from her as she was assisted aboard.
 'There were two babies in another life boat. The mother of one was there. She had bottle filed with milk when the life boat set out from the Titanic. The poor hungry little babes took turns with the lone bottle
 until it was exhausted.
 "Such of the survivors as were not sent to the Carpathia's hospital were l crowded into the state rooms and cabins. There were 120 widows l crowded into our ship. But even un- | til we reached New York, late last night, none of these knew but that her husband might have been res cued.
 There had been circulated aboard the ship the report that 50 men were taken aboard by the California, which came up just as we steamed away. These women survivors hoped against hope that their husbands were among the saved.
 'At first the women were dazed. some were unconscious. Then they became hysterical. Some were sent to the hospital, others treated in the cabins. Then after a few hours, when the realization of the enormity of the tragedy bore down upon them, they seemed to share their grief as common property, and each knowing that there were others as deeply bereft tried to keep her self posses sion. It was heroic, the conduct of these women, some of them on their honeymoon"
 Both Mr. and Mrs. Skidmore were certain that most of the life boats were we'll provisioned. '"The bow and stern of each boat held quantities cf
 hard tack" said they. ''There was a barrel of fresh water in each boat"
 Taking up the race of the Carpa-
 thia back to New York, the Skid-
 mores told of many incidents of the
 generosity of the survivors. one to
 another, as we'll as of the passengers
 aboard the Carpathia.
 Captain Rostron is wonderful
 man." exclaimed MT. Skidmore, when
 one of the party questioned the with
 holding of the news of the tragedy
 from the world.
 "I'm inclined to be conservative ''
 added he. s'I don't want to criticize
 a man who accomplished the won
 derful things he did, in this rescue,
 for anything he may have done in
 regard to the wireless
 It was at this juncture that Mrs.
 Skidmore declared that she was in a
 position to state positively that it was
 MT. Ismay who had charge of this
 feature of the return trip.

a glance at the social conditions by

throughout Japan's long period of iso-

the rich must live for the sake of the

based upon the purchasers rank In

been there that he had grown to be

We children included him in all our
games and treated him exactly as we
would any other playmate. while his
long years OF service had earned him
every sort OF special consideration
from the grown folks.

AL TESTS FAVOR WILSON.


Sacramento (Cal) Union.-In one
state after another a straw vote or
some other equally fair test reveals
an overwhelming popular sentiment
in favor of the nomination of Wood
row Wilson for president of the United
States. Everywhere he leads all other
Democrats so far that there seems not
the slightest possibility of any of
them overtaking him before the ma
tional convention meets next summer.
Hundreds of Wilson clubs are being
formed an6 men from all walks of
life are Fastening to join them in the
hope of being able TO help advance
the candidacy of the vigorous and
progressive governor of New Jersey.
Instead of losing in its measure Of
influence, the Wilson boom increases
as the days pass and bids fair to
sweep aside consideration of any
other personality. From every section
arises the demand that Wilson be
nominated. The rank and file of the
Democratic party are unqualiiiedly
and without reservation for Wilson.
Straw votes show that the New Jer-
sey governor has more admirers tran
all the other possibilities together.
Governor Wilson's rise in public life
and the wonderful grip he has on the
affection OF the american masses af-
ford one of the most striking turns
Of our political thought. While he
has done much for governmental prog
ress and rendered q brilliant service
toward the realization of those ideas
on which the people have set their
hearts, his remarkable popularity
