When the Carpathia reached the ILL.,

A wireless message from the Vir-

The Titanic struck the iceberg at

Contrary to earlier dispatches there

$4,000 IS COLLECTED.
Contributions Pour in at Call of Mavor
Gaynor.

New York, April 19.-The relief
fund started by Mayor Gaynor in re-.
spouse to a cable from the lord mayor
of London and the fund of the Won
ems Relief committee had hardly been
announced before contributions began
to pour in.
Before the day was over over $685.
900 had been received at the mayors
office and between $4,000 and $15,-
900 at Lexington avenue, the resi-
dence of Abram S. Hewitt.
In addition to this, nearly $1,000
was collected by newspapers, making
about $4,000 raised during the day
from various sources.
The largest individual subscription
was that of J. P. Morgan & Co. This
firm sent check for $4,000 as soon
as it was learned that the mayor had
started a fund. Andrew Carnegie gave
$4,000 and there were several sub
scriptions of $1,000 each.
The promptest emergency work was
that Of special committee from the
New York stock exchange, which
brought to the pier last night a box
containing $4,000 in cash for imme-
date distribution.
A great part of this fund will be
used for the third class passengers.
Scores of these immigrants were COM
ing to this country with just enough
money to meet the immigration re-
quirements. Having lost all they had,
these people are dependent upon this
money for their start in this country,
or for their return to Europe. The
distribution to the third class passen-
gers will not be made until the trained
charitable workers have made an in
vestigation and ascertained their re-
quirements.

The Titanic carried the most notable
list of passengers ever borne across the
Atlantic by one vessel. Homecoming
American tourists postponed their sail
ing weeks ago so as to ride the new
wonder of the season on her maiden
voyage.
Dispatches state that the Titanic
went down at 2:20 o'clock Monday
morning. The delay in the transmits.
sion of the news is attributed to the
fact that all dispatches have been sub.
ject to difficult relays.
The collision of the Titanic with an
iceberg is now known to have been
a headon crash that occurred while
the liner was proceeding little less
than her best speed. She was a day
ahead of her schedule and it is con-
sidered probable that an attempt to
make a record-breaking voyage was
the hope of her crew when she entered
the ice field.
Her forward plates were completely
wrecked. A gaping wound opening
below her water line and letting the
water into her forward compartments.
In the meantime the lifeboats were
manned and into them were placed
as many of the women and chill
dren as they could hold. The
boats were put off while there was
yet some hope of saving the Titanic
afloat until wireless could summon
help. Later and more conservative es-

The Olympic forged ahead under full
steam, but wireless dispatches indi-
cate that she reached the scene too
late to be of any assistance.
The Baltic, famous for her rescue of
passengers of the steamer Republic
and for her Jack Binns, who sat aloft
and braved death to summon help
was the next ship to pick up the brief
story of the Titanic's plight.
She was on her way from New York
to Liverpool but turned about and put
on full speed toward the Titanic's po-
sition. The Partisan, according to her
messages reached the flotilla of res
cue ships shortly after the Baltic.
A wireless message from Captain
Haddock confirmed the fears of the
White Star Line officials that all but
the 670 women and children who es-
capped in the small boat from the $1O,-

MRS. kSTOR TELLS OF WRECK
LEFT THE TITANIC ON ONE or
THE LAST LIFERoATS.
Still Hopes That, Her Husband win
i Y Eventually Be Found Alive
Somewhere.

New York, April 19.-While utterly
exhausted from her experiences, Mrs.
John Jacob Astor was declared by,
Nicholas Biddle, trustee of the Aston,
estate, to be in no danger whatever,
Her physicians, however, had given
orders that neither Mrs. Astor nor herr
maid, who was saved with her, bel
permitted to talk about the disaster.j
On landing from the Carpathia, the
young bride, widowed by the Titanic'sI
sinking, told members of her family,
what she could recall of the circum-
stances of the disaster. Of how COL
onel Astor met his death, she had no.
definite conception. She recalled, she
thought, that in the confusion as she,
was about to be put into one of the,
boats the colonel was standing by her
side. After that, as Mr.. Biddle re-
counted her narrative, she had no very,
clear recollection of the happenings
until the boats were we'll clear of the
sinking steamer.
Mrs. Astor, it appears, left in one
Of the last boats which got away from
the ship. It was her belief that all:
the women who wished to go had then
been taken off. Her impression was
that the boat she left in had room for
at least fifteen more persons.
The men for some reason, which as
she recalled it, she could not and does
not now understand, did not seem to
be at all anxious to leave the ship.
Almost every one seemed dazed.
The chief steerage steward of the
Titanic, who came in on the Carpa-
thia, says that he saw John Jacob
Astor standing by the life ladder as
the passengers were being embarked.
Still Hopes for Husband.
His wife was beside him, the stew
ard said. The colonel left her to 60
to the purser's Office for a moment
and that was the last seen of him.

new YORK, April 19.-COl. Archi-
bald 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. Fabricius. Colonel Oracle told a
remarkable story of personal hard
ship and denied emphatically the re-
ports that there had been any panic
on board. He praised in the highest
terms the behavior of both the pas
sengers and crew, and paid high tri-
butte to the heroism of the women
passengers.
Mrs. Isidor Strauss" he said, went
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 swept over her,
Colonel Oracle told of how he was
driven to the topmost deck when the
ship settled and was the sole survivor
after the wave that swept her, just
before her final plunge had passed.
Jumped With Wave.
Il jumped with the wave," said he,
"just as I often have jumped with
the breakers at the seashore. BY
great good fortune I managed to
grasp the brass ratings on the deck
above, and hung on by might and

and one or two made an effort to
reach us, but we had to warn them
away. Had we made any effort to
save them we all might have per-
ished.
''The hours that elapsed before we
were picked up by the Carpathia were
the longest and most terrible that I
ever spent. Practically without any
sensation of feeling, because of the
icy water, we were almost dropping
from fatigue We we're afraid to turn
around to look to see whether we

DECISIONS AND CONSTITUTIONS

Ii Is difficult to conceive Of former Judge
Peter s. Grosscup coming to the defense of the
Roosevelt doctrine of the recall of judicial de.
csions. In fact. although this is claimed for
letter which he has written to Mediu McCor-
mick we shall fail to believe that he has done
30 until the letter itself makes the remarkable
contention remarkably plain. Judge Grosscup
has all along stood for the law as It is given
rom the courts against the will of the President
a. he might conceive, wish 1T to be, law
With fine indifference to exactly that sort
OK hysterical emotion which he is now sa,d
to commend he has time and time again
upheld the dignity of the Federal Judi
ciary and been sustained In the highest
court in the land. That he should now lend
himself to matter such as the recall OF de-
cisions would be to now 60 back upon the
training and the vigorously expressed opinions
Of = lifetime.
What Judge Grosscup is reported TO have said
is that while to invade the function Of the court
to decide would be more or less revolutionary
still the function to make and unmake, alter
ard amend the Constitution under which they
live still remains with the people To impair
that function would be equally revolutionary
There is nowhere In this statement reason.
able ground for the deduction that Judge
Grosscup favors the recall. 1t is, in fact
exactly what might be expected from him or
any other sound judge. Indeed, 1t Is good
thing at the moment when the Constitution ia
being assailed in prominent quarters to have
made clear that constitutions are nothing
more than things made by the people for their
own government Mr.. Roosevelt and his Fix
shout for the recall of Judges. and for the re-
cau Of judicial decisions. upon the implied con-
tention that the Constitution is against, in
stead Of In favor of. human rights They for.
get. or Intentionally neglect to concede, that
. constitution is nothing more nor less than a
certain sort OF glorifed and fundamental
statute. 1t Is true that In one sense they ask
that the people be given the power to change
such a law at WILL and by q majority vote;
they have now, and always have had that
power under certain restrictions Wien Judge
Grosscup says that the people should nave
power to amend their constitutions, he says
nothing more than that which every existing Ia.
strun1ent of basic character Itself provides.
That Il very different matter from contend

change as one would change coat.
