Mrs. Straus Remains.
AS the officers were loading the
women of the first cabin list into the
boats they came upon Mrs. Isador
Straus, the elderly wife of the noted
philanthropist. She started to get into
boat but held back. waiting for her
husband to follow. Mr.. Straus tenderly
took her in his arms, bade her farewell

the inexorable rule of the sea which
says women and children must be

her husbands arm and, despite his
efforts and the efforts of officers to
persuade her to get into one of the
boats, she refused. The devoted couple

While the vessel was going down
the calls for help were picked up and
acknowledged by the White Star liner

heads toward the Titanic but were too

NEW YORK, April 19.-J. Bruce Is
may, managing director OF the inter
national mercantile marine, owners of
the White Star line testifying under
oath today before the United States
Senate committee Investigating the II
tanic disaster. swore that at the time
the liner crashed into. the iceberg on
Newfoundland she was making twenty.
one knots or twenty-six miles IN
hour. This CONFIRMS the statement of
Quartermaster ]. H. Moody who stated
that the Titanic was making twenty
one knots, travelling at high speed
when she hit the iceberg. 1t had been
charged that the high speed at which
the Titanic was travelling was respon-
sible for the terrific crash which sent
the vessel to the bottom.
Ismay admitted that there were no
, life RATS on board the vessel when she
sank after crashing into the iceberg
He also admitted that he left the yes.
sci in one of the first boats lowered.
He said that he jumped into it. In ex-
planning his theory that side blow
was the cause of the loss of the gigan-
tic liner Mr.. Ismay said, 'the ship was
especially constructed so that she
would float with any two of her COM
partments filed with water. I think I
am right in saying that very few ships
have ever had that capacity. If she
had hit the iceberg head on in all hu.
man probability she would be floating
today"
Denies High Speed Order.
In his testimony, however, Mr.. Is
may declared that the ship had not
been ordered to proceed at full speed.
in order to establish new record. He
made this statement to controvert the
charge that high speed orders had
been issued by the executive officers
of the line. He said he was asleep
when the vessel struck
Captain Smith awakened me and
said, we have struck ice I asked him
whether he considered the situation
serious and he said that he did. then
called the chief engineer and he also
considered the situation serious"
Mr. Ismay then stated that he had
sent no message from the Carpathia
Were you on deck when the order
was given to lower the boats" he was
asked.

J. Bruce Ismay. managing direc-
tor OF the International Mercantile
Marine company. owners OF the
White Star line. was sitting in the
cafe chatting with some friends
when the Titanic ran upon the
berg. He was the first one inform
ed by Capt. Smith. Ismay rushed TO
the deck to look .at the berg.
The ship cannot sink" was the
reply which he gave with smiling
assurance to all inquiries.
Nevertheless there are survivors
who say that Mr.. Ismay was one of
the passengers OF the third life boat
which put off. Few saw him enter
the boat.

NEW YORK, April 19-With all it's
tragic details the complete story of the
iTitanic disaster, the worlds greatest
sea horror, was told here today by
the survivors, who arrived last night
on the Cunard liner Carpathia. After

feet above the waterline, the Titanic
sank slowly. AS the inrush of icy wa
tier reached the engine rooms, the boil
iers exploded, sending up showers of

;caused the four great tunnels of the
!ship to resemble craters of active vol
canoes. 1t is believed that the explo-
ision broke the ships back for she
