them more attractive. He himself at
college had fallen entirely under the
mans spell. There was no doubt that
he was responsible for all his trou.
oles. Underwood possessed the un.
canny gift of being able to bend peo-
pie to his will. What q fool he
had made of him at the university,
He had been his evil genius, there
was no question of that. But for
meeting Underwood he might have ap-
pied himself to serious study, left the
university with honors and be now a
respectable member Of the community
He remembered with a smile that II
was through Underwood that he had
met his wife. Some OF the fellows
limited that Underwood had known
her more intimately than he had pre-.
tended and had only passed her on to
MIN because he was tired Of her. He
had nailed that as lie. Annie. he
could swear, was as good a girl as
ever breathed.

influence over him. He had done with
him what he chose. He wondered why
he had not tried to resist. The truth
was Underwood exercised a strange,
subtle power over him. He had the
power to make him do everything he
wanted him to do, no matter how fool.

classmates to his rooms and made him
cut up all kinds of capers He at first
refused, point blank-but Underwood
got up and. standing directly in front
of him, gazed steadily into his eyes.
Again he commanded him to do these
ridiculous, degrading things. Howard
felt himself weakening. He was sud.
denly seized with the feeling that he
must obey. Amid roars of laughter
he recited the entire alphabet stand
ing on one leg, he crowed like q
rooster, he hoped like q toad, and
he crawled abjectly on his belly like
a snake. One of the fellows told him
afterward that he had been hyp-
Noticed. He had laughed at 1t then
as a good joke, but now he came to
think of it, perhaps it was true Pos
sibly he was a subject Anyway he
was glad to be rid of Underwood and
his uncanny influence.
The train stopped with a jerk at his
station and Howard rode down in the
elevator to the street. Crossing Eighth
avenue, he was going straight home
when sudd My he halted. The glitter
and tempting array of bottles In a
corner saloon window tempted him
He suddenly felt that If there was one
thing Le needed In the world above
all others 1t was another drink. True
he had had more than enough already
But that was Coxe's fault. He had
invited him and made him drink
There couldn't be any harm in taking
another. He might as we'll be hanged
for a sheep as a lamb. BY the time
he emerged from the saloon his
speech was thick and his stcp uncer

New York, April 1sLTwo grimly different stories of the loss of the magnificent Titanic and most of her human freight were told the Senate Committee Investigating the disaster, today.
 Bruce Ismay, millionaire financier, see Of the disaster and what he did not do before and after he left the waflow1ng vessel with the women and children
 Arthur H. Rostron, R. N. R., ship master and able seaman, told the committee what he did to succor the wounded leviathan and those who left her for the frail security of the 1ifeboats.
 Ismay declared there were no wom- e4 waiting to get into. the 1ifeboat which he entered and that he saw no passengers near the boat when he left the vessel He never looked back to see Captain Smith going down into the seas at his post on the bridge nor to zee the remaining passengers and crew prepared for the final plunge.
 As Ismay concluded his lengthy ex- planation of how he left the Titanic, Senator Smith put the question to him 1aAlg and brutaIly:
 "Were all of the women and chill dran saved?"
 The financier looked down, flushed, and replied in lower tone:
 I'm afraid not.''

 J. Bruce Ismay- managing di- rector of the Mercantile Marine company. owners of the ill., fated Titanic. took the stand as the first witness before the Senate In- restigating Committee, probing the Titanic disaster, today After Ismay had been sworn by Chairman Smith, he was questioned at length. He said:

 New York, April 19.-"Well, thank goodness, Nathalie, we are going to see our iceberg at last!"
 That-that single, foolish little sentence-was the one thing of all things that I said to my cousin as the great, beautiful Titanic was shiv- ering beneath her death blow.
 And yet it was the most natural remark in the world for me to make that, Sunday midnight, at the very minute when the hand of death be- gan pulling down its terrible cargo of souls. For, though the world has not come to realize it, that was a hidden hand-a hand so hidden that none of us suspected for an instant how strong and how cruel it was un- til, less than two hours afterward, it gave a quick, final jerk and the Titanic sank beneath the swells.
 My cousin, Nathalie Wick, and I were lying in our berths half asleep when the blow came. It was terrific For a second the whole boat just stood stock still in it's swift tracks and then it gave a great shiver all through.
 After that, everything was quiet quiet for a minute. Then-"Oh, she S hit an iceberg came ringing through the window in a woman's shrill voice. For 10 minutes after the blow Natha- lie and l lay in bed and discussed whether or not we would get up to view the berg. Nathalie was pretty sleepy but had been up to fill a hot water bottle and was wide awake enough for anything. Finally, we dressed to Ego up'' as we had been wanting to see an iceberg all the way over but thought perhaps it was too late in the season.
 So we slipped on our shoes and stockings and put on some heavy out side wraps and went up: When we got out onto the deck everything was as calm as an August afternoon. The sea was as smooth as glass. There wasn't a berg nor an ice foe in sight and the sky was just thick with stars.

tigation, we court the fullest inquiry and that we have nothing to conceal Or hide.
 1.-The ship was built in Belfast and was the latest thing in shipbuilding No money was spared in her con- Struction. She was not built by con- tracts but by commission
 Ismay then reviewed the early his tory of the Titanic. When she was laid down, when she was launched and the details leading up to the start of her maiden voyage. He said that the weather had been fine every day after she left Southampton until the mid-ocean crash. with the exception of about 10 minutes when a dense fog encompassed the vessel. He said:
 ''The accident took place the Sum- day night following the Wednesday of her departure. I was asleep in my stateroOm at the time The ship sunk I am told at 2:20 o'clock Mon day morning. I understand it has been stated the ship was going at full speed when she crashed into the big berg. She never went at full speed. If the weather of Monday and Tuesday had been good it was our intention to go at full speed.''
 Smith then asked Ismay to describe what took place after the collision. Is- may said:
 "I lay in my bed a few minutes. not knowing what had happened. I went out on the deck and asked an officer what he thought the trouble was He said he did not know I returned to my stateroom, dressed myself and went to the bridge where I met Captain Smith I asked him what had happened. He said the ship had struck ice and he, feared it was seriously damaged. I rushed down to the offices of the chief en- crin ho fn1d ho the ship had been seriously damaged. I went back to the bridge and heard the order given to get out the life- boats. I assisted in getting them out. I then went to the starboard side of he ship and I stayed until which I understand, was the, Hast boat which left the Titanic. I do not know whether the Captain stayed on the bridge
 Did the other officers seem to know the serious condition of the

 Dapper and neatly dressed in black frock coat with white piping in his vest, the managing director twirl- ed the ends of his military mustache nervously as Smith endeavored to get specific details. His memory was bad in spots. He turned to President Franklin, who sat nearby several times during his testimony as if ex- pecting support or prompting.
 Ismay said he had a choice suite of rooms on the third deck from the top near the captains guar ters.
 ''Did you consult with the captain regarding the ships movement?' ask ed Smith. "No,'' replied Ismay, em. phatically, "I want to say this right here. We were not attempting to make any speed records We did not plan to arrive in New York until Wednesday at 5 o'clock
 Did you know you were near ice- bergs?" demanded Smith, "I knew ice had been reported" said Ismay. "I had never seen an iceberg in my life. We were travelling the extreme southern route for westbound ships. I was not cognizant of the proximity of icebergs on Saturday. I did not

I never saw so many stars in the heavens in my life as there were that night. The water itself glittered dull with their light.
 We had just decided to go back to bed when an officer came up to us and another group of people who had gotten up to find out what was the matter. ''Go back and put on your lifebelts," he said, you may need them later"
 We went down at once and told my aunt and uncle, MT. and Mrs. George
