Relief Committee Appeals =
for $4,000 to Aid Women

NEW YORK, oct. 16-The situa-
ton facing the emergency relief COM
mittee OF the Red Cross named to
care for the survivors from the
wrecked steamship Volturno is a Sc
rious one, according to Robert w. de
Forest, chairman of the committee.
1.-THE response to the appeal by the
mayor and committee for funds to
provide relief for these sufferers has
been inadequate" he said last night.
"The survivors are mostly able
podied men. some of whom have
been separated from their families,
but it is the women and children who
are left without breadwinners who
are most in need of aid. Some of the
mothers have been separated from
their children, here or on the other
side, and these families must be
united. Five children arrived on the
Kroonland today whose parents have
not-been found"
At least $4,000 will be required to
take care of the women and children
among the survivors, the Red Cross
| committee says. In addition to the
refugees now here the committee will
be called upon to provide for others
who were landed at Halifax and at
Philadelphia. and who are to be sent
| here. Pending the receipt of sub
scriptions, Jacob II. Schiff advanced
| So, 900 to the committee as loan, and
| headed the subscription list with a
contribution of $500.

Officer Who Told Story to
Evening Star a Jerseyman

PATERSON, Oct. 16.-Third officer
Walter Dusselman, q brother to Mrs.
Hans Elbel, of Lafayette avenue,
Hawthorne, a suburb of this city,
was one of the survivors of the ILL
fated ship Volturno who was landed
at Hobolxen yesterday by the steamer
Grosser Kurfuerst, of the North Ger
man Lloyd line. Mrs. Elbel and sew
eral other relatives from Hawthorne
were at the gangplank to meet Mr..
Dusselman.
Mr.. Dusselman and Captain Inch,
of the Volturno, are both known in
Hawthorne. Captain Inch has no REL
atives in This country, and he, to-
gether with his third officer were
always visitors to Mrs. Elbels home
when their ship was in New York.
Captain Inch's dog. Jack which
was taken into the last boat which
left the Volturno with the captain
and picked up by the kroonland, now
en- 1oute to New York, was a gift
from Paulo Elbel, nephew of MIR
Dusselrnan and q daughter of Mrs.
Elbel. Wireless dispatches state
that the animal all during the fire
followed the heroic captain all about
the boat. When Captain Inch was
leaving his vessel he discovered the
faithful animal at his heels. Jack
was picked up and dropped into the
lifeboat OF the Kroonland, and a mo-
ment later the captain followed.
II was expected that Third officer
Dusselman would return to his sis
ter's home in Hawthorne last night
He, however, together with Mrs
Elbel and her husband, remained at
the home of New York relatives.
His story. was told in full in the
Evening Star of yesterday.

cored.
1t was told by Gadala Rabinowitz,
twenty years old, who came from
Russia to join his brother here.
while we were huddled on the
fast heating deck some one remem-
bered that the Safa Torah had not
been saved.
The Holy Scroll is in the steer
age' cried someone.
Il looked about for the rabbi, but
I could not find him. Then l heard
someone in the crowd shout:
The Safa Torah will be burned!
VIII someone go below and find the
HOLY Scroll?'
1.-The younger men in the crowd
stepped forward.
1--WE were making our way down
the stairs through the smoke and
heat when we were pushed back by a
pair of strong arms. I could not see
the man below. for the smoke was
all around US. 1 could hear his voice.
Get back he was saying. It's
death if you go down now.
THE man on the stairway pos
sessed the strength of a giant. He
pushed us back up the stairs with
superhuman strength. When he got
out on deck and the smoke was blown
away sufficiently for me to see him,
l saw he wore the uniform of the cap

very dry as if 1t had not been used
for long time, and 1t leaked badly.

covered with verdigris. The engineer
took a hose from the starboard side
of the promenade deck I brought
some steerage blankets to wrap
around the hose used by the chief
engineer and me, which leaked badly,
and had no nozzles to them
Captain Inch sent the carpenter to
examine the boats and he reported
that IS c. was absolutely unseaworthy
and it would be dangerous for any
person to attempt to get into it. Then
he looked at No. 2, which had been
painted and looked all right to the
eye, but when 1t was lowered into
the water 1t half filed with water at
once, and the captain said that none
of the passengers would be allowed to
go in it.
mo. 2 was the only boat we had
left that stood any chance of floating,
so it was decided finally that the Sec
ond officer, Mr. Lloyd, should attempt
to reach the Grosser Kurfuerst, which
was a mile and a half away. This boat
sank as we reached the rescue ship"

Metropolitan Gets Ready to
House Altman Art Treasures

NEW YORK. Oct. 16.-Although not
as yet officially accepted by the trus-
tees of the Metropolitan Museum, Dr.
Edward Robinson, director of the in
stitution, smilingly said yesterday:
assure you that there is no
chance>whatsoever of the non-accept-
ance of either the wonderful art col
lection of Benjamin Altman nor the
conditions he made. AS far as the
fireproof structure is concerned,
which Mr.. Altman stipulates in his
WILL our whole building is fireproof.
Whether it Is large enough? No, 1t Is
not. 1t never has been really large
enough to hold all our exhibits in the
proper manner.
Whether we will build a new wing
or make room in certain parts of the
building, ] cannot at present say.
Next Monday, at our trustees meet
ing, the gift will be officially accepted
and 1 suppose further provisions will
be made for it's housing.

Women Knelt in Prayer
as Flames Drew Near
Their Refuge at Stern

NEW YORK, Oct. ia thrilling
story was that of David Millstein,
who is on his way to Minneapolis.
After telling of being aroused early
on Thursday morning by the cries
of fire and of hurrying to the upper
deck, he said:
when we reached the upper deck
everything was in a state of con-
fusion. Women and children were
knocked down. The roaring flames
seemed to be drawing closer and
closer. The heat was intense and the
smoke was becoming sitting Every
where groups were kneeling and
praying. Women We're tearing their
hair. The wind was blowing a gale.
The rain was cutting across our
faces.
And at o'clock Thursday after
noon the first ship was sighted. We
asked the officers and the captain
when we We're to be saved. They
kept telling us soon. We waited
the wait was heartbreaking, as the
flames were drawing nearer. At $50
o'clock we spied another ship. This
gave us some courage. We were then
ordered down to the lower deck
There were no lights. Here and there
was a Shrek, here some woman or
child who had fallen had been
trampled upon"

tee met here yesterday and decided
to appoint committees in 4all countries
adhering to the wireless telegraph
treaty signed at London in July, 1912,
to aid the governments in extensive
wireless observations and expert
mentS.
These will be carried out with the
object, first. of determining a way to
insure constancy and steadiness of
wireless waves; second, measuring
the variations in signals and atmos-
pheric disturbances at the different
stations; third, comparing the inten-
sity of signals. These experiments
will be conducted simultaneously on
three days of each week, beginning
in January. Special meteorological
observations will be made once each
month.
Reports of the work of the COM
mittees will be made to the wireless
conference at Brussels in 1914, with a
view to legislation.

Quartermaster Harms, of
Kurfuerst, Hero OF Tragedy

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.--In one of the
rescue boats of the Grosser Kurfuerst
quartermaster, Alfred Harms,
proved himself a man of iron.
AS his boat returned to the ship it
was provided with a new crew and
sent out again. So with the second.
But the sturdy quartermaster didn't
change, nor did he show signs of
fatigue until it was all over. He
went over with his boat each time it
went.
He made two trips Thursday
night, the last ending at 2:30 o'clock
Friday morning, and two more in the
morning, beginning at o'clock.
was a feat of endurance which no
one who did not witness those battles
with the high sea can appreciate.
Another member of the boats
crews who deserve special mention
was Kurth Won Hermann, a steward.
He was not a sailor. 1t was not his
business to row boats. His business
was to wait on the table and to clean
the staterooms. But he came rushing
up to the boat deck, still wearing his
linen jacket, and demanded so in
sistently to be taken he was made
member of boats crew.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Third Engi-

by the crew of the Grosser Kurfuerst
after he had jumped overheard, fur
nished the only story of the tragedy
which told of the conduct of the men
in the boiler and engine rooms of the
doomed vessel
After the coal was exhausted and
the steam ran out we could do
nothing. We were ordered to put on
life belts. None of us expected the
Volturno to remain afloat long. 1t
was not until this time that the pas
sengers got in a panic.
THE chief engineer gave up hope
and said IF there is a chance to
save yourselves, do tt I watched the
rescue boats and tried to get the pas

formation that the Carmania had car
ried away only one survivor and the
confirmation through Captain Barr's
own statement, of their belief that
that steamer had not sent any small
boats to the rescue during the almost
twenty -four hours she was at the
scene of the tragedy.
From Captain Spangenberg down to
his cabin boy there was struggling of

when the Carmania was mentioned.
This same attitude was marked

wealthy residents of Brooklyn, living

"Our ship behaved satisfactorily"
he said. Our officers and men proved
themselves to be made of heroic stuff.
When we heard that the Carmania
had not lowered a single boat l was
amazed. 1t seemed to me that there
was an excess of the sometimes valu-
able British conservatism. Sometimes
undue caution is called by another

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You can Bring Back Color and
Lustre with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is rnussy and trouble
some. For 80 cents you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use tonic
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
all gray hair disappears, and, after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant. You will also discover
dandruff is gone and hair has stopped
falling.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is sign of old age, and as
we all desire youthful and attrac-
tive appearance. get busy at once
with wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and
look years younger.
