But RostrOn Says He Was Instrument
in Eate'S Hands.

New York, June 3.-"All the ambi-
ton 1 have for my boys is simply for
them to do their duty-and be men.
Heroes are accidents of fate. No mar

to live up to the best of his manhood
and faithfully perform his duty, as
he sees it."

great hero, the captain shrugged his
shoulders and said: 7sa
"A hero-no, but my men were heroes
my crew, my passengers, my officers
were heroes, and what I did was only
through that splendid spirit that swept
like a flash from the heavens through
the Carpathia when the word came
that the Titanic was wrecked. L was
only an instrument in the hands of ar
impelling fate
When Captain Rostron entered the
box to the left of the stage, accom-
panied by several officers of the Car

house. Men and women stood and ap-
plauded the captain.
Captain Rostron went to Philadelphia

guest of Mrs. George D. Widener, who
was herself rescued by the Carpathia,

obnoxious TO noisy minority. Utter
~ obllvious to the demonstration, Mr.
Mcclure declared that the bill had
passed. over In one corner Of the leg

pecially vociferous. He would not be
quleted. and Mr.. Mcclure was finally
compelled to notice him for the sake
of peace.
