THE FATAL VOYAGE

Lasted just Five Days and Ended
Two Miles Beneath AtIantic's Surface
~ HE TITANIC sailed from South
ampton, England, on Wednes-
= day, April 10. Scarcely had she
drawn out Of her berth when
she narrowly escaped collision with the
American liner New York, which was
yanked from her mornings, her haw-
sers snapped. by the tremendous sue
ton exerted by the new steamship. The
great Titanic drew the New York to-
ward her as an iron filing Is drawn to
magnet, and the smaller vessel float
ed, helplessly. stern first, down on the
giantess Of the seas.
Her passengers lined her decks on the
side Off which the New York lay,
laughing with pride that they were
aboard such a ship, when they learned
that 1t was the Titanic's suction which
had strained the New York from its
mornings. That the narrowly avoided
collision was prophetic Of that other
collision in which the Titanic was to
play the part Of the pigmy could not
have entered the mind Of a single per-
son aboard.
Then the big steamship gathered
Roadway again, moving slowly while
she was In range Of other shipping,
that the occurrence of the New York
might not be repeated, but increasing
her speed as she left the shore behind
until finally she was racing through
ocean waves. cleaving to line which
her navigators had lain down for her,
off at last on her maiden journey with
New York as her goal.
News of her starting was cabled to
that city and the departure from Eng
land of the greatest steamship in the
world was heralded far and wide For
several days there could be no
news Of her. She might speak other
ships, bound for foreign ports. or
ships headed as she was yet which
must bow to her superior speed and

before the Senate Investigating Com
mittee.
Their statements established the fact
that it was clear, cold night when the
Titanic plunged into the iceberg. The
big vessel had been four days on her
way. Such passengers as had been un-
acquainted when the steamship left
port, had established the cordial rela-
tons which usually exist among fellow
passengers on an ocean voyage. Din
ner was over and there were groups of
carefully gowned women and men In
evening clothes in the saloons The
smoking rooms were filled. There were
games Of bridge and other hazards at
cards in progress.
Outside the temperature had been
falling rapidly as the Titanic drew
nearer and nearer to the ice floes from
the midst Of which rose the group of
1cebergs on one Of which the great ship
was to strike. Tests Of the water had
been taken every two hours throughout
the day and evening, but these as yet
had failed to show dangerous prox-
unity to the ice field. The officers
were not alarmed, and in the mind of
no passenger. probably, was there a
thought Of danger. The Titanic, they
believed, was unsuitable.
The big ship was blowing ahead at
good speed, and Second Officer Lightol-
Ter, who had taken the bridge at 6
o'clock, was still on duty. It was early
evening. In the crows nest were Sea-
men Flint and Leigh, keeping a sharp
watch ahead. for though the iceberg
fleet was not dreaded. it was known
to be near at hand. There were no
other lookouts except the men on the
bridge.
At 1855 o'clock Capt. E. ]. Smith
mounted the bridge and consulted with
his second officer. The ship was max
ing twenty-one or twenty-one and a
half knots. The weather was fine and
clear. A myriad stars dotted the heav-
ems.
Capt. Smith spoke with Lightoller of
the Ice fields into which they were run
ming and. Of the great icebergs there
Wireless warnings of the existence Of
these fields and bergs and Of their loca-
ton had been received by the Titanic
from her sister liners, the Olympic and
Baltic. from the. neutrality-suspicious.

liner Amerika, and from other liners.
Capt. Smith was serious but not
alarmed. He had been amply warned,
and II other ships could have traversed
the field in safety, surely the giant IT.
tanic could make the passage.
He ordered Second Officer Lightoller
to keep the Titanic on her course, but
to notify him If there arose the slight
est doubt as to conditions. Then he
left the bridge at 9:25 o'clock.
Thirty-five minutes later Chief Off,
Ger Murdoch relieved Lightoller on the
bridge. The weather held fine and
clear, though cold. The temperature
was 81 degrees. but was not considered
abnormal for the region in which the
Titanic was. The men discussed the
ice fields and bergs which the ship was
approaching, and decided that they
probably would encounter them in
about an hour. Their estimate was not
far wrong in view of the uncertainty
as to the exact location Of the fields
which were constantly moving with the
currents, for 1t was at 11:30 that the
Titanic scraped over q submerged shelf
OF the berg, tearing away the steel
plates Of her bilge.
Two facts stand out prominently In
the sinking Of the Titanic. One Is that
had the look-outs in the crows nest
been equipped with binoculars the dis
aster might have been averted. The
iceberg which sent the great liner to
the bottom was sighted when there
was yet time to turn the steamship
sufficiently from her course so that
the impact OF collision was felt by the
liners starboard bow some twenty feet
from the stem. The warning given q
few seconds before probably would
have allowed time for the Titanic TO
have been turned aside beyond the
range Of the berg.
The other fact is that many persons,
most Of them men. lost their lives need
lessly. Not one Of the lifeboats which
pulled away from the sinking Titanic
apparently went with q full cargo.
Some OF them carried less than half
the number which might have found
room In them. That. this was 90 was
the result Of the desire of most Of the
men aboard to remain there till every
woman had been removed.

Started on Her Tragic Voyage.

follow her wake up New York Harbor,
but no word could come from them
sooner than from the Titanic herself.
New York settled down to await the
first report from the big ship, and it
came on Sunday, April Ia. when. at
2:15 A. NJ, the Titanic was reported
1,2S4 miles east Of Sandy Hook and
due in New York at 4 o'clock Tues
day afternoon.
The giant liner was no four-day boat.
In speed she could not compete with the
Lusitania or Mauretania, though to
no others need she yield. but New York
was content to wait for the coming of
the greatest ship afloat.
The report from the Titanic would
come on Sunday in time for publication
in the newspapers of Monday morning,
and should show her 500 miles or more
nearer New York. That was the mes
sage which was awaited. Instead. late
on Sunday night, this is the message
which came:

ship Titanic, called &C. 3D." to the
Marcont wireless station here and re-
ported having struck an iceberg. The
steamship said that immediate assist
ance was required.
Half an hour afterward another mes.
sage came reporting that they were
sinking by the head and that women
were being put off in the lifeboats.
The weather was calm and clear. the
Tttanic's wireless operator reported
and gave the position Of the vessel as

Returned
IN CASE
AGAINST MIR. LUTHER ALLISON
For the Killing of Robert
LaFamOFe

There will be no trial of Mr.. Luther
Allison growing out of the killing OF
Mr. Robert Laramore. beyond the pre-
liminary trial which was held a week
following the tragedy, and which re-
suited in the discharge of the defand-
ant, the court holding that the fatal
shots were fired In self defense.
This decision, though made after an
exhaustive review of the testimony Of
many witnesses who testified at the
preliminary trial, did not end the
prosecution, and the homicide was
brought to the attention of the grand
jury While that body hears only the
testimony adduced for the state, as Il
rule, that brought out yesterday in
the investigation of the Allison case
was not deemed sufficient to warrant
the return of an indictment against
the defendant, and shortly before the
noon recess a mo bill' was returned
This action of the grand jury brings
to a conclusion the prosecution of
Luther Allison for having killed Rob-
ert Laramore, and who pleaded self
defense.

ALBANY'S new
union STATION
Good Enough For City of
$4,000 People
(Albany Herald.)

That the new union passenger sta
ton to be built in this city will be
one that would be big enough and
good enough for city of $4,000 peo-
pie was the assertion made to a Her.
aid reporter this morning by Mr. A E.
timer, the well-known contracting
builder.
AS there has been considerable
doubt expressed in various quarters as
to the size and cost of the depot tie
reporter sought Mr. Ittner with the
expressed purpose of asking him con-
corning the proposed structure. Mr..
Ittner Is in position to know be-
cause he submitted bid on the work,
although he afterwards withdrew his
bid when he secured the contract for
the Quitman school building. Such a
statement, coming from a citizen who
has the confidence of the entire bust
ness community should set at rest all
doubts as to the building being up to
all local requirements.
"The new depot will cost something
like 100000 said Mr.. Ittner. That
includes the heating, plumbing and
everything complete. There is more
than $4,000 worth of concrete in the
job. The building will be of brick,
stone and steel. 1t will be metropol-
itan in it's arrangements with gates
through which the travelling public
must pass to and from the trains The
building will be 225 feet long. One of
the concrete platforms will be about
roo feet long and the other about 400
feet in length. | am sure Albany will
have no case to feel dissatisfied with
the new station"
