ECHO OF TITANIC DISASTER
Returning Missionary Hurrying to
Mothers Bedside, Is Lost.

Returning Missionary Hurrying TO
Mothers Bedside, Is Lost.
My Dear Friends in Dallas, Ore
1t has been some time since l last
wrote to you from India, and about
India. This morning / care not to
tell YOU much about myself or the
work, but about one of our dear CO.
workers here in the field. She and
had lived together three years in
bungalow quite by ourselves. She
had the girls school while / visited
the Zanamas and as many other
homes as l possibly could in the sur
rounding Is or 20 villages
In March of every year we have a
conference of Indian Christian mis-
sionaries of the Central Provinces of
India Here we meet for four or five
days-Methodist Baptist, Christian.
Evangelical. Presbyterian, Lutheran
and Mennonite-all one in Christ Je-
sus, whom we love, serve and adore.
While packing things for the con-
ference, Miss Funk received
cablegram from Philadelphia, Pa,
with passage for home prepaid and
the direction that she was to leave
on March 90. 1t was then the goth.
We knew that it was on account Of
her mothers illness who, though for
the last month, or so had been get
ting SO much better, but suddenly a
change for the worse came. She
hastened and left Bombay on March
23.
On Easter Sunday she arrived in
London expecting to leave for Amer
lea on the Haverford but owing to
the strikes in England that steam
ship did not sail and she was booked
for passage on the Titanic She cell
ebrated her birthday April IL, on
that most beautiful vessel. but only
two days was she permitted to live
in her new year, and she too. as
many others, found her grave In the
icy waters of the Atlantic. But. oh,
such a comfort to know that she did
not go down, but up to her home on
high to live with Him whom she so
loved and to whom she had given her
life and service. In her prayers she
so often said: "Oh Father, we want
to be our best for Thee, let us not
be satisfied with the second best"
and so often, too. she would sing,
"Oh blessed Savior Keep Me White,
etc"
She was one to look on the bright
side of everything and, after she had
turned all her work over to me, and
bade me farewell, she said; We'll,
now Anna, keep smiling no matter
what comes" Little had I thought
that those would be her last words
to me here on this earth. The Lord
alone knows what she was to rue.
The people among whom she worked
loved her very much and did all they
knew and could to please her the
five years and three months that she
was with them. They too, will miss
her so much.
1t is such comfort TO rest in Him
who giveth peace. sweet peace. that
passeth all understanding.
Yours In the service Of the Master,
ANNA p. BRAUN.

INVESTIGATION STARTED
j. Bruce Ismay Appears Before the
Senate Committee.

J. Bruce Ismay, of the Interna
tional Mercantile Marine, and the four
surviving officers of the Titanic
appeared before the United States sen.
ate investigating committee at the
Waldorf-Astoria to give their version
of the marine disaster that has
shocked the entire civilized world.
When asked the circumstances under
which he left the boat, Mr.. Ismay re-
piled almost in whisper:
Zone of the boats was being filled.
officers called out to know if there
were any more women to go. There
were none No passengers were on
deck AS the boat was being lowered
I got into il"
Charges of criminal negligence on
the part of Ismay have been freely
made following the admission on the
stand that it was he who ordered
Captain Smith to speed up, even
though it was known the ship was in
the vicinity of icebergs. Here are
some of the facts which have been
established:
That the Titanic, under orders from
Ismay, principal owner of the White
Star line, who, as a passenger aboard
his own vessel fled among the life
boats that were the first to go, and
left many of his passengers and his
captain to die, was steaming at a rate
of q knots (26 miles, an hour.
That Ismay and officers of the vessel
knew that the ship was nearing a gil
gantic ice field.
That the forward watch was not in
creased.
That 210 Of the crew were saved
when Sc would have been ample tC
man all the lifeboats that were aboard
That fifteen women of the first cabin
persisted.

NEY YORK-The managers OF
all the big transatlantic lines made
the cables sizzle in a swift interchange
of sentiment on the safest courses to
pursue crossing the ocean ferry
Some of the big companies had al
ready decided to instruct their cap
tains to steam below even the lanes
recently shifted south, supposedly be
yond the probability of collision with
bergs, and few of the captains, with
the fate of the Titanic before their
mental vision, declared that they
would go even below latitude 80 in
crossing the f1ftieth meridian, east
bound

received at least thirty five per-

Stantly at Bush, Ill. three Bush sur
Vivors died a few hours later at hos
pital in Murphysboro.
Miles of telegraph and telegraph
wires were blown down, farmhouses
were demolished in the path of the
storm and it is probable the death list
will be increased when communication
is restored with all points over which
the tornado passed.
While there is no means of est1mat-
ing the damage by the storm, it is GER
tain to run into hundreds of thousands
of dollars
At Bush, a village in Williamson
county, ILL.,, the greatest loss of life
occurred, fifteen persons having been
killed and more than forty injured.
Nearly every dwelling in the village
was destroyed or damaged.
Forty-one injured persons were
taken from Bush to Murphysboro in a
special train, the crew Of which said
only a small portion of the village had
been searched and that more dead
probably would be found.
Most of the dead were foreigners
who worked in the coal mines near
Bush
At Morocco, Ind, nine persons lost
their lives by being crushed in the col
lapse of their homes.
At Grant Park ILL.,, half a dozen per-
sons were injured and damage amount
ing to more than 100000 was caused
