TELLS STORY OF awful WRECK
Praises Ieroism of Her Husband and
Brother-in-Law Whom She Left on
the Deck of the Sinking Ship When
She Was Taken Off in Life Boat.

|
board the i'll fated steamer Titanic
reached her home in Racine on We'd
nesday after having been cared for at
hospital in New York following her
rescue from the wrecked steamer.
Mrs. Hanson has as yet no positive
knowledge Of the fate of her husband,
Peter Hanson, the former Kenosha
barber or his brother, Henry Hanson,
who had sailed with them and both of
whom are supposed to have been lost.
On her way to Racine Mrs. Hanson
was joined by several relatives from
Kenosha and she is now being tender
! ly cared for by her brothers and SIS
! tiers. She is a nervous wreck as re-
suit of the disaster. Her own story of
the sinking Of the steamer is as fol-
lows:
The first intimation I had that
something was wrong was when the
engines stopped. We did not notice
scarcely any jar when the ship struck
the iceberg, but after being on board
for several days one gets SO used to
the pounding of the gigantic engines
that when they are stopped it is i'm
mediately noticeable.
We were in bed, but I rushed to the
stateroom door and said to Peter,
something has happened, come on and
get up right away, but Peter told me
that it was something Of no import
ance. | opened the door and asked
some one, but they only told me to
get back into bed. I went back, but
| heard the Storage passengers COM
ing upstairs and I looked out again.
| / saw the cabin stewards with life
belts on and people rushing around. I
asked again what the trouble was and
an officer yelled to me to get life
belt on and get out on deck. Then
told Peter and with Henry we jumped
| into our clothes and got belts on.
By this time knew that something
awful had happened, and | heard
shots fired, but whether they were
to scare the panic stricken steer
age people or for distress signals
/ could not tell. We got out on deck
and as the stairs leading to the boat
deck were crowded with passengers,
we had to climb up on an iron ladder
on the outside of the ship.
| / stood there with Peter and Henry
and when an officer told me to get
into a life boat, / was willing but
when they wouldn It let Peter go with
me | just hung on to him and begged
and begged them to let me stay too.
An officer grabbed hold of me as [
kissed Peter, and threw me into life
boat and I got an awful bump on the
| head that stunned me for long while
There were forty women III the little
craft and it was crowded. AS We
were lowered to the water, some one
threw baby over the deck, but in
stead Of it going into the life boat, it
hit the water and was drowned. Peter
threw me my pony coat and | caught
it all right.
OH Why didn't they let me die
with Peter2 l begged and begged to
be allowed to stay with him, but an
officer just threw me into the life boat.
L thought Peter had been saved too or
/ would have jumped into the ocean
instead Of going on board the Car
pathia.

GIVEN UP AS LOST.
Nothing Heard of the Steamship
Anana Since She Left Port.

The British steamship Amana, which
was bound from Scotland for Phila-
delphia and Baltimore. has been given
up as lost by the Baltimore agents OF
the vessel, as she was due at the first,
named port about December 49, The
vessel sailed from Leith December /.
and was to have called at Philadelphia
before going to Baltimore, but since
leaving the Scottish port nothing has
been heard from her. The only hope
for her safety Ia that she might have
become disabled and has put into some
out of the way point for repairs. or
has drifted away from the track OF
vessels.
The Amana was commanded by Capt.
Cone. She carried no passengers, bu.
had aboard 3.244 tons of freight for
Philadelphia and 1874 tons for Balti-
more The Philadelphia consignment
was made up OF iron and 10000 bags
of potatoes. For Baltimore there were
2,6S2 bags of sulphate of ammonia, 40v
cases preserved fish. 1.5SO bags Of corn
meal. 73 bales of paper stock, $50 tons
Of so per cent ferro manganese and
$50 cases Of whisky.
The ship was a regular freighter be-
tween ports of the United Kingdom
and Baltimore The vessel had been
chartered to load grain at Baltimore
and leave there late last month.

WIFE MURDER CHARGE
AGAINST JERSEY MAN
Allison NJ. Mcfarland to Ap.
pear for Trial at Newark
January 20.

NEWARK. N. j.. January 6.-The trial
Of Allison NJ, Mcfarland. accused OF the
murder OF his wife. found dead several
months ago from cyanide poisoning, was
postponed by order Of the court from
Monday next until January % on the
motion of Prosecutor Mott who COM
blamed that the special panel of talesmen
drawn for jury duty contained "undesir-
abies."
One had been convicted Of robbery. he
said. Another special panel will be
drawn.
Prosecuting Attorney Wilbur Mott will
andeavor to prove at the hearing that
The defendant murdered his wife with
>yanide OF potassium by mixing the
poison with bromo in a bottle which Mrs.
Mcfarland was in the habit of using to
cure headaches.
Woman in the Case.
Mott has In his possession a score or
more OF letters from Miss Florence
Bromley Of Philadelphia the woman in
the case" to Mcfarland. in one of
which she says: Il am happy at the ap-
proach Of the time when ! will he your
Wife" Another speaks of the possibility
81 his securing a divorce from his wife.
and in all of them che addrl sses the ac-
cused murdt rer in endearing terms. These
letters will probably be used BY the prose-
cutting attorney to show that the motive
for the crime was McFarland's desire to
get rid Of his wife in order to marry Miss
Bromley with whom he became infatuat-
ed when she worked as his stenographer
n Philadsiphia.
Mcfarland was arrested and formally
charged with the murder of his wife Sat
urday October p Ave days after she was
found dead In her home. Mcfarland
looked upon his arrest as joke. and de-
clared that no Jury could possibly convict
him. He claimed that on the day Mrs.
Mcfarland was supposed to have taken
the poison he was in New York with his
six-year-old son Richard.
Expected Developments.
Mcfarland retained State Senator
Frank McDermitt. one OF the shrewdest
criminal lawyers in New Jersey, TO de-
tend him. Although the prosecuting at
torney denied that he would call Miss
Bromley as a witness. il Is rumored that
she and another woman, whose name is
Withheld and with whom Mcfarland was
said to have been in love will tell of
their relations with the accused man be-
tore the case Is brought to close.

NO HOLDING COMPANIES
TO CONTROL THE BANKS
Provision in National None

A definite provision. 1t was learned last
week, will be included In the national

Such provision has practically been
agreed upon and 1t is expected, will be
drafted today. The report will go to the
printer tonight and will be sent to Con-
gress Tuesday.
The drawing Of such a provision offers
serious obstacles. 1t has been found DIFF

not be evaded. Members of the COM

out. however, In a provision which Will

be very widely felt between a monu-

very abstract in itself, but eyasive if
