SURVIVORS REACH NEW YORK III AWFUL
CONDITION PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY

doffed their hats, and there was
no sound throughout, the women
being silently escorted to waiting
automobiles. A dozen New York
society women have opened theig
homes, offering to care for q
hundred steerage passengers
each.
President Taft tonight issued
a proclamation that all flags in
the country be placed at half
mast tomorrow.
All survivors recount the he
roism of Major Butt, who as
Sumed charge of one deck and
loaded all women. He refused
to leave the ship.
Mrs. Isador Straus refused tc
leave the ship unless accompan-
led by her husband. She clune
to him and was last seen stand
ing on the deck, the two being
arm in arm.
The senate committee inter-
viewed Ismay aboard the Car
pathia. The formal probe be-
gins tomorrow at Hotel Astor.
Col. John Jacob Astor and
Maj. Archibald Butt, aide to
President Taft, were drowned.
Two women, apparently vio-
lently insane, were carried from
the steamer. Scores of women
are III state of coma.
An unverified report is afoat
that Mrs. Astor gave premature
birth to a child. It is known
that Mrs. Astor is alive, but it
is impossible to confirm the 9TH
er report.
After the first three women
landed came a lone woman, who
cried, Helen, Helen," repeat
edly. Then followed several
women and the people on the

and killed eight men who were
trying to rush the boats follow
ing the wreck. There is no Off
cial word from the Carpathia
yet. Vice-president Franklin
sent wireless to Ismay to hurry
to the White Start Offices, de-
claring it necessary for him i'm
mediately to issue a statement.
The first passengers ashore
from the Carpathia landed at
9:35. Three women were first
landed. They did not wait for
the boat to stop. but climbed
down the ladders while it was
still in motion.

ley UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
NEW YORK, April 18.-Hun-
dreds of picked police restrained
the crowds as the Carpathia
swung toward her berth. Many
undertakers were grouped on
the pier under orders. Relatives
were grouped inside the pier and
remained silent. As the Carpa
thia swung up the bay steady
rain and lightning flashes added
to the melodrama. Wild reports
were circulated when the Car
pathia refused to speak to the
newspaper tugs. The United
Press boat was closest in line.

from exposure before being
picked up.
The mental torture of the
thousands congregated on the
waterfront was unallayed by
the announcement of the hour
she would dock. At 4:1O this
afternoon the Carpathia COM
municated direct with Seagate
wireless station, the last station
before reaching port.
Wireless messages were re-
ceived at various receiving
points this afternoon enlarging
or the acute suffering of the surs
vivors. Horrible tales are told.
The sources of these messages,
however, were questioned and it
was impossible to learn whether
the information was authentic.
There is practically no change
in the situation late this after
noon over yesterday, the only
evident difference being the fu-
neral preparations throughout
the city and increasing public
tension.
The police were compelled to
prevent fearful relatives and
friends from breaking down the

The First Glimpse
NEW YORK, April 1S.-The
Carpathia was sighted off the
battery at S:05 o'clock, going in.
It sent wireless order for 1T
pairs Of trousers and other
clothing. All the men surviv..
ors were reported picked up
practically naked. Two hundred
coffins were ready for victims, if
any were aboard. The report
was spreading that many surviv-

LONDON, April 18.-The
president of the board of trade,
Sydney Buxton, in the house of
commons today promised an i'm
mediate searching inquiry into
the Titanic disaster. 1t is be-
lever the British navigation
regulations were not enforced.

dock surged forward, while bed
lam reigned, breaking the first
calm. The police were compelled
to fight the people back.
The men and women were clad
in fantastic garbs, furnished
aboard the Carpathia. One wo-
man wore an opera hat and {,
skirt full of rents. She was i'm
mediately surrounded by fash
ionably garbed women, who Of
fered her fur coats and clothing.
G. H. Stengel Of New York,
one of the first off the Carpathia,
declared the collision with the
iceberg was the result of Grim
inal carelessness. The Titanic
was steaming at % knots an
hour and the impact was terrific,
huge blocks of ice falling to the
deck and killing many. The stern
rose and the people ran about
shrieking. The boats were low
cred and the sailors tore wives
from their husbands and threw
them into the boats, which were
lowered like lightning.
Stengel says Fifteen hun
dred men jumped into the sea
when the vessel started to sink.
I don't know their fate. | seized
a boat gunwale after jumping
and was dragged aboard
E. Z. Taylor of Philadelphia,
Titanic survivor, through the
United Press stated that J.
Bruce Ismay, chairman of the
White Star line board of direct
ors, jumped in the third lifeboat
launched, then gave up his seat
to a woman with a baby, and
jumped into the next boat, de-
claring he was going to man q
boat and have charge.
Many of the boats had not suf-
ficient men to row and the wo-
men pulled on the oars.
"Nearer Nv God"
Caroline Bonnet OF Youngs-
town, Ohio, dictated the follow
ing to the United Press: "The
ship seemed to slip across the
berg when it struck. Every one
rushed to the boats. | heard !
several shots fired and was told |
the first cabin men were pre-
others crowding the
boats. The ships band assem-
bled at the stern and played
Nearer My God to Thee" as
the Titanic sank"
Lawrence Beasley of London |
said: Sixteen lifeboats were
launched. Seven hundred and
eight of us fioated four and q
half hours before the Carpathia |
The iceberg was 90 feet |
high above water. The vessel |
sank three hours after striking.
