| Capathla'
Nam york-Facts which have es-
t nsh by inquiries on the Carpa-
tsol'o o. positively as they could be es-
tn I;o ~ in view of the silence of the
Wv, officers are:
su That the Titanic's officers knew,
in hours before the crash, Of the
ss' ',;bIe nearness of the icebergs.
p Thot the Titanic's speed, nearly %
,a a an hour, was not slackened.
hu That the number of lifeboats on the
r;tonic was insufficient to accommo-
iato more than one-third of the pas
u 'nsers to say nothing of the crew.
most members of the crew say that
.bsre were 16 lifeboats and two col
1ansibles; none say there were more
.sen % boats in all. The 700 who es-
.anad filled most of the 16 lifeboats.
Had the ship struck the iceberg
boad-op with whatever resulting shock,
the bulkhead system of watertight
COMMITMENTS probably would have
saved the vessel. AS one man ex
messed it, it was the impossible that
Sanpened when, with a shock unbe-
Iieyably mild, the ships side was torn
for length which made the bulkhead
system Ineffective.
ATLAS came the sudden sound of
two guns, warning of immediate
danger.
The crash against the iceberg which
had been sighted at only a quarter of
amile, came almost simultaneously
with the click of the levers operated
BY those on the bridge, which stopped
the engines and closed the watertight
doors.
Captain Smith was on the bridge q
moment later, giving orders for the
summoning on deck of all aboard and
for the putting on of lifepreservers
and the lowering of the lifeboats.
The first boats lowered contained
more men passengers than the later
ones, as the men were on deck first
and not enough women were there to
fill them.
When moment later the rush of
frightened women and crying children
to the deck began, enforcement of the
women first rule became rigid. Off
GERS loading some of the boats drew
reyOlvers, but in most cases the men,
both passengers and crew, behaved in
way that called for no such restraint.
Members of the crew discredit all
reports of suicide and say Captain
Smith remained on the bridge until
just before the ship sank, leaping only
after those On the deck had been
washed away. 1t is also related that
when a cook later sought to pull him
aboard lifeboat, he exclaimed, "Let
me CO." and jerking away, went
down.
The following named men of world
wide note are known to have gone
down on the Titanic: Colonel John
Jacob Astor, fnancier; Benjamin
Guggenheim, mining magnate; G. M.
Hays, railway magnate; w. T. Stead,
English editor; Isidor Straus, mer-
chant prince; Colonel Washington
Roebling engineer; Clarence Moore,
Sportsman; Major Archibald Butt,
soldier and personal aid of President
Taft; F. D. Millet, American artist;
y. d. Widener, Traction king
Walter D. Douglas, millionaire manu-
1acturer; George Floyd Eitemiller,
automobile magnate: Henry B. Har'
rls, theatrical manager.

President D. C. Collier, of San
Diegos' exposition, is a man of about
40, smooth shaven, always wears a
soft shirt and a flowing black tie, and

there throughout the entire year OF
1915.

SEA Is SECURED
BY SISTER SHIPS
Survivors in Small Boats Res
cued By Liner Carpathian.
Only Mass Of Wreckage Tells OF Big
Ships Fate-Littis Hope for
200 Passengers.

New Worthwhile the fate Of the
majority of the 2, 100 persons on board
the mammoth White Star liner Titanic
which sank early Monday in the New
Foundland Banks after collision with
an iceberg seems absolutely certain,
there is a slight possibility that some
of them may have been picked up by
fishing boats which have not yet re-
turned to shore.
A wireless message from the
White Star liner Olympic, one of the
vessels lowering near the scene Of the
disaster, flashed the news that 866 Of
the Titanic's passengers, mostly wo-
men and children, were being brought
to port by the Cunarder Carpathia.
Other messages later brought confirm
atory tidings.
First reports were that the Carpa-
thia had saved but 675 persons. The
new figures reduce the list Of those
for whose fate fear was felt by nearly
200, and if, as seems probable, prac-
tically all those saved were passen-
gers, it would appear that all but APP
proximately $50 of the vessels pas
sengers are accounted for.
A partial list of the survivors re-
ceived from the Carpathia include
names of many women of prominence.
After the first calls Of the Titanic
for help had brought steamers for
hundreds of miles around speeding to
the scene, what seems to have been an
impenetrable wall Of silence was
raised between here and the steamer.
The liner SO far as advices appear
went to her fate without so much as q
word of what must have been the
scenes of terrible tragedy enacted on
her decks.
In the lack of even a line from
survivor imagination pauses before
even trying to conjecture what passed
as the inevitable became known and it
was seen that out of the more than
2. 900 human lives with which she was
| freighted there could be hope of saw
| ing as it appears, far less than half.
Other than the news that 866 per-
sons, largely women and children. had
been rescued from the liners boats by
the Cunarder Carpathia, several hours
passed without word as to the fate OF
the rest of those on board at the time
of the fateful crash. Along the en-
tire Atlantic coast wireless instru-
ments were attuned to catch from any
source word that possibly one Of the
many steamships which rushed to the
assistance of the Titanic bore other
survivors. But the ships reported to
be at or near the scene OF what,
viewed in the light of possibilities,
NAV be recorded as the worlds great
est marine horror, gave not the slight
est syllable of encouragement to the
anxiously waiting world.
The steamer Virginian was finally
heard from at 2:15 o'clock Tuesday
morning. She did not report the
presence of any survivors on board.
The Titanic lies buried two miles
beneath the ocean surface, midway
between Sable Island and Cape Race.
Her position when she struck the ice
berg was given as Latitude Al :46
north, longitude so IA west.
According to the Carpathia's adj
vices the liner, which struck the ice
berg at 1925 o'clock Sunday night,
sank at 2 20 o'clock Monday morning,
nearly four hours later.

BEAR WAS THE CAUSE.
Mace an Iowa Farmer and His Mules
Look Like Travelling Cyclone.

Ames, July Travelling over a
corn field on a sulky pillow at a two
minute gait was too strenuous a pace
for Neal Johnson, and after the first
round of forty acre field he got off
A big brown bear trailing behind a
gypsy wagon was the cause for start
ling pair of mules and a horse
which constituted trio team pulling
the pillow on the farm of A. X. John
son, south of town on Walnut Grove
hill. A view of the bear frightened
the mules and they ran around the
field with Neal Johnson hanging on
ITO the seat with both hands. When
the team passed the grand stand the
second time the bear had changed his
position. The wind came directly
from him and the odor put new life
into the mules and the horse. This
Is when the record for all three
orse-and-mule-team in double har-
ness hitched to pillow was broken.
AS they passed down the quarter
stretch Neal decided to get off. Dirt,
corn stalks and fertilizer elevated
into the air made the tour like a
travelling cyclone. What the pillow
failed to send into space was shot
into the air with the force of cam
non by the kicks of the stampeding
calvacade trio. Round and round
the field they chased. Each time they
passed the scene and the smell of
the bear and of the gypsies they took
on new speed.
The rural telephones We're put into
use and in a short time neighbors
arrived in such force as to be able
to head off the animals, and to stop
them. The mules were crazy ana
were covered with foam as frothy as
an egg shampoo. In the last circle
the tongue was broken by the fero-
cious kicks. In an effort to unhitch
the team NJ. +. Shines received a kick
on the arm and leg that has put him
cut of farm work for several days.
The horse was ready to call in quits
and forget the incident, but the
mules are snorting and kicking to-
day as though they expected to be
'et'' up by the bear any minute.

There is a good deal of spasmodi

results. Results come from steady,
