THREW CHILD INTO BOAT.
But Mrs. Allison Herself Refused to
Leave Her Husband.

Milwaukee, April 20.-ThrilIing as
were many of the terribly pathetic
tales which came from the lost I'll
tanic, none was more pitiful or tragic
than that related by long distance tel
ephone from New York to Mrs. Adam
Cross of Milwaukee, by her niece of
the death of Mrs. H J. Allison of On
tario, by the side of the husband she
refused to leave.
with Mrs. Allison and her husband
died their little daughter, Lorraine,
but as the last boat pushed off from,
the Titanic, Mrs. Allison forced her
sister, Miss Sadie Daniels. to take her
seven months old son Wilbur, and
escape. Miss Daniels, although stun
ned by the terrible sights she had wit
messed, was able to tell connectedly,
even graphically, the story of the de-
votion of Mrs. Allison to her hus-
band.
Here is the story as she told it to
Mrs. Gross:
SISTER died rather than leave her
husband, when the officers refused to
let both into the lifeboat. She said
life was not worth living alone and
she went down even smiling. with her
arm around Herbert.
when the boat struck few realized
there was any danger. Herbert and
Bessie laughed and went back to
dress When we stood together at the
rail. as the boats were being sent

CAPTAIN SMITH JUMPED.
Leaped From Titanic With a Child in
His Arms.

Leaped From Titanic With a Child in
His Arms
New York, April 2O-Taking refuge
on the bridge of the Inflated Titanic
two little children remained by the
side of Captain Smith until that por-
ton of the big ship had been swept
by water. Survivors of the crew, who
went down with the Titanic but were
saved by clinging to an overturned
lifeboat, today told of their gallant
commanders effort to save the life OF
one of the children. He died a sail
ors death and the little girl who had
entrusted her life to his care died with
him. He held the little girl under
one ARM said James Mccain, a fire
man, ''as he jumped into the sea and
boat with the child. 1 took the other
child into my arms as 1 was swept
from the bridge deck. When 1 was
plunged into the cold water, 1 was
compelled to release my hold on the
child and / am satisfied that the same
thing happened to Captain Smith.
Il had gone to the bridge deck to as
sist in lowering a collapsible boat. The
water was then coming over the bridge
and we were unable to launch the boat
properly. 1t was overturned and was
used as a life raft some 80 or more of
us, mostly firemen clinging to it. Cap
tain Smith looked as though he was
trying to keep back the tears as he
thought of the doomed ship.
He turned to the men lowering the
boat and shouted: Well, boys, it's every
man for himself. He then took one
of the children standing by him on
the bridge and jumped into the sea- He
endeavored to reach the overturned
boat but did not succeed. That was
the last I saw of Captain Smith,
McGann said Captain Smith from,
the bridge directed the lowering of the
lifeboats. He said the story that Cap
tain Smith had committed suicide as
the Titanic went down is without
foundation.

TWENTY BRIDE WIDOWS.
Only One of Twenty-One Honeymoon
Couples EScaDed.

New York, April 20.-In New York
women who in the past few months
saddest days. They are the bride
whom the sea took the heaviest toll
in their power to give.
Only one of the twenty-one honey
moon couples on board the dead ship
Mr.. and Mrs. George Harder of
Brooklyn-are alive The others have
seen the pure white of the wedding
ment of mourning.
In the first cabin there were three
widowed brides-Mrs. Daniel w. Mar
vim of No. 317 Riverside Drive; Mrs.
Lucien Smith, daughter of Congress
man Hughes of West Virginia; and
Mrs. John Jacob Aston.
Perhaps the most pathetic bride
widow was in the third cabin. She is
Mrs. Abel Nasar, pretty young
Syrian, of twenty-one. She said
brokenly that she had been married
only a few weeks ago and with her
husband and two brothers had deter
mined to seek fortune in the western
land of promise
In the panic after the crash in the
steerage the fearful young woman told
how her husband and the two brothers
had been swept over the side and
drowned before her eyes.
George A. Harder and his young
bride are at the home of his father in
Brooklyn. They were daZed by their
experiences.

HIS TRIBUTE TO SMITH.
Captain Says Commander Was Almost
Rescued.

New York, April 2O.-Just before
going aboard the Carpathia to resume
his interrupted trip, Captain Rostron
paid a high tribute to the courage and
seamanship of the Inflated THAMES
commander, Captain E j. Smith.
81 wish you would deny in as strong
language as permissible the persistent
report sent out by some press concern
that Captain Smith killed himself
when he realized that the Titanic was
doomed" said Captain Rostron. "I
have it from the lips of members of
his crew who tried to save his life
that he did not commit suicide. He
stuck to the ship until he was washed
from the bridge. Then some of his
men caught him in the swirling waters
and landed him safely on the edge of
a lifeboat But he tumbled back into
the ocean and went down. He had
been too weakened by hard knocks
while being tossed about the sinking
Titanic to hold on to anything. The
buffeting he encountered on the
wrecked ship undoubtedly had dazed
him and left him in no condition to
exert even his remaining strength.
Smith was one of the coolest, brav-
est and most careful commanders
have even known. His seamonship
was of the highest order. Too high a
tribute cannot be paid to him by any
body who knew him."
