DRUNKEN INDIAN In
PASSENGERS HOME

MIDDLETOWN, N. Y. April 10
While the friends of William c. Dulles,
of Philadelphia, who has a summer
home at Goshen, a passenger on the
lost Titanic, were awaiting with grief
and anxiety some news concerning his
fate an unusua incident too place
at his bungalow on his farm near
Prospect Lake.
For some time past John Pippin. a
half-breed Indian, standing six feet
two inches in height. has been en-
ployed on the Dulles place. Monday
was discharged. Wednesday he return
ed to the farm still intoxicated INK
violent. He went to the stables and
while there was kicked by a horse
and a wound four inches long and two
inches deep was made in his leg. His
shoulder was also d%islocated.
Pippin then went to the caretaker,
Catherine Casey. m took from her
the keys of the bungalow, and enter
ing the place went TO Mr.. Dulles's
room and retired in Mr.. Dulles bed.
The caretaker reported the matter. A
warrant was issued and last night
the officer went TO the bungalow,
forced the door of the bedroom
which Pippin had barricaded with a
bunk and pieces of furniture, and
placed the half-breed under arrest.
Pippin had provided himself with an
ova 20 . ,.aapop of dafaosa hl1f he had
no opportunity to use it.

JUMPS WITH GREAT WAVE
THAT ENGULFS THE VESSEL.

Il jumped with the wave, said he,
''just as often have jumped with the
breakers at the seashore. By great
good fortune i managed to grasp the
brass railing ON the deck above and
hung on by might and main.
When the ship plunged downward
l was forced to let go and was swirled
around and around for what seemed
to be an interminable time. Eventu-
Ually I came to the surface, to find
the sea a mass of tangled wreckage.
Luckily l was unhurt, and casting
about managed to seize a wooden graf
ing floating nearby. When l had re-
covered my breath discovered a large
canvas and cork life raft which had
foated up. A man. whose name I did
not learn, was struggling toward It
from some wreckage to which he had
chung. | east off and helped him to
get on TO the raft and then We began
the work Of rescuing those who had
jumped into the sea and We're tioun-
dering in the water.
when dawn broke there were thirty
of us on the raft, standing knee deep
in the icy water and afraid to move
lest the cranky craft be overturned.
Several unfortunates. benumbed and
half dead, besought rs to save them
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 persisted.

CONCERT JUST OVER
WHEN CRASH CAME

NEW YORK, April 19.-Dr. Wash
ington Dodge, ir., of San Francisco,
who, with his 6-year-old son, was res
cued, fixed the time when the Titanic
struck the iceberg as 11:40. o'clock. 1t
was a crisp, clear night, he said.
The ships concert had not long been
ended and many of the passengers
We're lingering in the room where the
musicians had played. In another sa-
loon there We're several bridge whist
parties. Men were yet %lounging in the
smoking apartments. Others We're
strolling about.
One moment before the crash Mr..
Dodge noticed Mr.. and Mrs. Aston
-promenading arm and arm as cheerful
as on the day when they left on their
honeymoon. The lights were still
aglow in many cabins. 1t was a typi-
cal Sunday night on shipboard.
While the vessel was still gay with
the festive spirit of the evening the
crash came. That shock, said DR..
Dodge, was beyond mortal description.
Instinct told the passengers that some
thing not to be made light Of had
happened. The great ship shook from
stem to stern. Every beam seemed to
SILVER. Men n women were knocked
off their feet by the impact.
we have struck an iceberg some
body exclaimed, and before many mo-
ments had passed the terrible truth
was realized.

LAST FAREWELL
Of RAILROAD HEAD

NEW YORK, April 19.--Major Arthur
Puechen, a wealthy resident of To-
ronto. Canada, was the last man on
the Titanic to say good-by to Charles
NJ. Hays. president of the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway who lost his life.
After assisting the members of the
crew in filling up the first five boats
Major Puechen, who is an experienced
yachtsman, was assigned by the second
mate to take charge Of boa No. 6.
Major Puechen said he declined to ac-
cept such a post, not desiring to OBJ
tain any preference over any of his fell
low passengers.
Captain Smith, wishing an exper-
fenced boatsman on boat No. G. di-
rected the second officer to give the
major a written order to take charge
of it. Major Puechen displayed this
order to some of his friends last night
so as to make it plain that it was at
the command of the ships officers that
he undertook the assignment.
Just as the major was about TO leave
in the lifeboat his old friend. MIR.
Hays, came up and said goodby. Mr.
Hays had no idea, according TO Major
Puecheh, that the ship would sink as
soon as it did, but believed that help
would be at hand to care for all before
the vessel went. down.
Mr.. Hays remarked to the major
that the boat could not possibly sink
within eight hours and that long before
then eVerVh0dy would he Ia Kan off
safely. Mr.. Hays expressed no fear
that he would be lost by remaining on
board the ship.
