SHOTS FIRED AT MEN.
Crew Saw That Women Were Lowered
First.

New York, April 19.-That all posi-
BILE means were taken to prevent the
male passengers on board the Titanic
from going away in lifeboats and leav
ing the women and children to perish
is the story told by Miss Lily Bentham
of Rochester, N. Y, second class pas
senger who said she saw shots fired
at men who endeavored to get away.
Miss Bentham was in a hysterical
condition when the Carpathia landed
and was unable to give a full account
of what happened but Mrs. w. j. Dou-
ton. a fellow passenger, who also comes
from Rochester and who lost her hus-
band told about what took place
II hadn't been in bed half an hour,
said Mrs. Douton, when the steward
rushed down to our cabin and tolt
us to put on our clothes and CONS
on deck We were thrown into life
boats and packed like sardines. AS
soon as the men passengers tried to
get to the boats they were shot at.
7 don't know who did the shooting. We
rowed frantically away from the ship
and were tied to four other boats.

'There was a baby in the boat with
one of the women. The babys hands
had been cut off. 1 think it was still
alive. The mother did not give it up
During the night when waiting for the
Carpattia, four of the crew died II

IT was bitter cold and we had to wait
until 8 O'Clock in the morning before
being taken off the lifeboats by
the Carpathia."

MRS. sTRAUs WOULD NOT GO.
Refused to Leave Her Husband and
Both Went Down Together.

6Otn went Down Together.
New York, April 1s.-E. z. Taylor
Of Philadelphia, one of the survivors
of the Titanic disaster, jumped into
the sea just three minutes before the
boat sank. He told a graphic story
as he came from the Carpathia.
L was eating when the boat struck
the iceberg he said. There was
awful shock that made the boat
tremble from stem to stern. 1 did not
realize for sine time what had hap
pened. No one seemed to know the
extent of the accident. We were told
that an iceberg had been struck by
the ship. 1 felt the boat rise and it
seemed to me that she was riding over
the ice. I ran on deck. 1t was
a veritable sea of ice and the boat was
rocking over it, 1 should say that
parts of the iceberg were 80 feet high
but it had been broken into sections,
probably by our ship.
Il jumped into the ocean and was
picked up by one of the boats. I never
expected to see land again. I waited
on board the boat until the lights went
out. 1t seemed to me that the dis
cipline on board was wonderful
Colonel Archibald Oracle, U. S. A,
the last man saved, went down with
the vessel but was picked up. He was
met by his daughter, who had
arrived from Washington, and his SON
in-law, Paul H. Fabricus. Colonel
Oracle told remarkable story of per-
sona1 hardship and denied emphatic
ally the reports that there had been
any panic on board. He praised in
the highest terms the behavior of
both the passengers and crew and paid
a high tribute to the heroism of the
women passengers.
Mr. Isidor Strauss. he said event
to her death because she would not
desert her husband. Although he
pleaded with her to take her place in
the boat, she steadfastly refused and
when the ship settled at the head, the
two were engulfed by the wave that

IsMAY ORDERED SILENCE?
Business of the Line Was Handled
From Carpathia.

New York. April 19.-That the interior
ence of amateur wireless operators had
little or nothing to do with the difficulty
which the shore stations have experience
curing the past two days in getting news
of the Carpathia is the opinion expressed
by William Marconi the inventor.
ANY explanation of the reason why de-
tailed news of the disaster did not come
from the Carpathia lies with the ships
captain OF Mr.. ISmay, said Marconi.
ssI3hey are responsible for the silence. The
wireless was not to blame. Private mes
sages and messages regarding the bust
ness of the line passed promptly.

PRAYER,

Prayer is the atmosphere IN which
the Christian lives; the key which
opens the door of heaven; the wire
which connects us with the great
white throne; the gate through which
we enter into the presence chamber
of the Eternal; the highway on which
we meet the king in his beauty; the
pillar Of cloud by day and of fire by
night which lead us through the will
derness Of this world to the bright
Canaan beyond; the valley In which
still waters flow, and Easter lilies
bloom and in which he, whose name
is wonderful, revealed himself; the
golden stairway b (which the angels
convey the longings Of our hearts up
to QUE Heavenly Father.-Henry Al
exander LaVely.
