was saved. He had called along the
deck for Josephine. Some one as
sured him she had Seen taken aboard
a boat. Then he calmly helped lift
children and cid people into boats
at the rail- He stripped off his own
coat and waistcoat and took the
outer garments of men standing
near, wrapping youngsters, helping
crying mothers, up from the steer
age, huddling along the unaccus-
toned deck, white with terror.
The stories of the last moments
of Gilbert Van Horn marked him a
man utterly unselhsh and brave!

Gods sake, give me hand!" Boats
were so laden they struggled out of
the human rnaelstroi1i of desperate
clutching fingers and grabbing
hands. The sound of the band waited
over the cries. The black hull, sud-
denly looming in lofty proportions
against sky of stars, stood bril-
liantly alight. The graceful stern
lifted from the sea. Forward COM
partments were filing. The sharp
proud stem of steel was dipping
slowly, out of sight.
The Master, captain OF tragedy.
after many, many years, stood high
on the fitting bridge alone. The sea
of ruin was slowly coming up to
claim him. He made no effort to
gain life belt or strike out for a
raft or boat.
The long rows of lights fiickered,
hared up for an instant as the dy-
namos took an unusual list, and
then, suddenly, the band had tum-
bled away, the means continued less
loud, cries were lost, the lights went
out. The whole scene, for moment,
was in impenetrable black. AS if
shaking itself, dripping off cascades of
dull greenish water, the giant hull
rose upright on its stem, men and
fittings, like sudden squall OF rain,
falling from the decks.
All atremble the tremendous hull,
stern high in the air, towering
black monolith, a grave stone,
poised for an instant. People in the
| boats, Josephine and Rantoul, eyes
wide with horror, heard dcafering
roar, a rending Of heavy steel. The
boilers and machinery had torn
loose of their own weight and
dashed downward through the re-
sounding coffin of the hull. Frightful
reverberations rumbled over the
loaded boats and the people still
struggling in the ice-cold water. 1t
was a last loud protest Of the dying
Titanic. a horror heard for miles
over the calm Indifferent sea.
A pool of greenish white, throw

Hundreds of others rose to the sub
lime in their last hour, and others were
blackened, and cursed and looked upon
with suspicion because of their rescue.
Gerrit Rautoul, among the survivors,
had difficulty in explaining the
cause of his being in boat. Some
, very ugly stories were about. Men
had been shot, trying to crowd into
boats.
The story of the rescue preceded
the return of the survivors.
News of the loss of Van Horn
had come by radio. John Breen was
at the pier when the rescuing ship
came in. Great confusion prevailed.
Miss Lambert left few minutes
ago, in taxi, with a lady and
gentleman" The steward described
her and Rantoul. Come to think of
it Gerrit Rantoul's name was not
among those listed as saved. But it
could have been no one else. John.
going on board with a pass, had
expected her to wait for him, at
least. He felt bitterly disappointed.
He telephoned the Van Horn home.
"Miss Lambert is in bed. No. not
seriously sick, sir, just shocked and
worn out. She left no message"
Two days later, with no news of
Josephine, his heart bursting with
the enormity of the loss of Van
Horn, John received a visit from
Judge Kelly. Pug Malone and Har-
board had just left. He was looking
out Of his sitting room window over
the shaft. John then had quarters
alone, Mailing and Barrow having
been transferred to another section
of the work.
Come in, Judge" He was glad
to see the old gentleman.
"Whew, John. I'm in need of
something, a few dozen years taken
off, l suppose. Walk-up houses, |
think that's what they call EN-, keep
the populace in good condition.
Well" He looked about, putting
and wiping his forehead.
John took his hat and stick, and
the old friend was seated. mo,
thanks, John. I'm going easy on
the weed"
"Iave you heard anything from
Josephine?" John asked anxiously.
"Is she all right"'
Il came from there, John. She's
all right. l saw her for moment,
privilege of an old family friend.
She has been through hell of an
experience, John-she looks it. She
said she wanted to get Strengthened
out, before seeing you. 1t has been
terrible shock to her, to all Of us.
Poor Gilbert" The Judge looked
about the room. at the pictures CT
Van Horn, Harboard, Malone, and
Josephine, on the narrow mantel
shelf.
John, T came up here to speak to
you plainly" The Judge settled him
self. John lit a pipe and loked past
him, out of the window. Gilbert
Van Horn was your father" Judge
Kelly spoke plainly.
"Ycs." John kept looking away.
His eyes were suspiciously bright.

being dropped, hard drumming manila
falls were dropping on the deck. Many
seamen were calling far away and
near, "Stcady there! EaSyt Ere. SIR!

right. .Szeing aft, s1s'sssg for7eurdP
Their voices rose amid the clamor
of the steam. Boats were turning
outboard over the side. The ice wall
had disappeared. 1t was merely a
precaution.
Had the great TitG,ic struck the
; ice? Was she sinking? But there
had been no shock. he kept think-
ing, no shock. .Perhaps-but the
thought was untenable. impossible.
Perhaps there had BEEN a shock
when-when he was unaware of
anything but Josephine. The thought
froze his mind. He must do some
thing. Why in hell did that woman
keep clinging to him? The escaping
steam was deafcning, it began to
moderate, thank heaven. He must
rouse himself; her.
Josephine, dear! Josephine" he
called, close to her ear.
"AH cIedr, bodts~ A loud rough
voice of authority was shouting
above the deck, calling through a
megaphone. -.
"Stand by to lotver!" Aye, aye, sivi"
A sailor was answering. He stood near
Josephine and Rantoul. ~ womos,
sir!" he called. The boat had swung
outboard and was at the level of the
deck on which they stood. Steady.

Better lift her in, sir" The words
were addressed to Rantoul. QUICK,
before we lower. Yes, we're sink
ing" Rantoul staggered to his feet.
Josephine had swooned. He held her
limp and heavy; half dragging her.

ropes on deck. This way" the
seaman pushed him. His knees
trembled, he bent over, passed Jo-
sephine into the boat "Lo1ger 1VGy
--loager!" The boat began to fall,
Gerrit Rantoul, his head swimming,
pitched forward into the boat, lying
in the dark. Josephine, dropped un-
tremendously, sat up beside him on
the bottom boards. "Where are we,
oh, where are we?" she demanded.
"Ho!d aHi" the boat was at the
level of the promenade; crowd OF
passengers surged to the rail, most
ly in negligee; men wild-eyed, des-
perate; women crying. After an in
terval of false quiet, they suddenly
began to realize that the. great liner
was actually sinking. The horror OF
it! the great floating palace sinking
into the waves-it was Incredible
terrible!
"Whos in that boat?" An officer
in charge of the deck had jumped
on the rail; pistol CLEANED in his
hand.
"A woman, sir" The sailor
failed to see Rantoul, who lay stun
ned in the bottom. Rantoul, coming
to his senses, tried to struggle to
his feet. People were crowding in
on top of him. "EVomen and chill
dyeni" The call was clear and loud.
One man on the rail was pulled
back. Others stepped back. Women
and children first! The rtlle of the sea !!
The boat began to fill, women
were tumbled in, pell-mell. Hold
on, do you want to swamp that
boat?" The rope falls began to creak
as they stretched under the weight.

frame the words, 'A man here"

Customs Bureau agents today
started a study of the. records of
two weeks of anti-dumping hear.

charge that by reason of a wide
range of commodities from abroad
being sold in this market at
prices in most cases below those
for which the producer, could
make the article, domestic busi-

millions of dollars lost to the
industry and to labor.
- Under the law, dumping is the
sale of commodities in the Amer

those for which they are offered
in the market of origin, causing
injury to domestic business.

j. A. SHAW SEES
fSQU|CK ACTION
AS RESULT
Marking Time Period at End
As Main Body Sponsors Aid
Outlined by Workers

With the entire strength of
the American Federation Of
Labor and its affiliated organ
izations now firmly backing
the legislative program Of
Government employees, they
can look for quick action on
matters which have been
''marking time" for a con-
siderable period, according to
President John Arthur Shaw.
The new president of the
American Federation Of Govern
ment Employees. in outlining poll
cies of the organization following
its first national convention here,
reminded that the A. F. Of L.
itself will take charge Of the
legislative campaign for the Fed
Grafton.
Convention Nov. FL
Thus the interests of all labor
and labor organizations will be
grouped, and pressure on Con-
gress will be concentrated, he
said. The American Federation
Of Labor's convention will be
held in Cincinnati November 81,
When the Government employees
program will be co-ordinated
with the regular labor program.
President Shaw added that
since the other federation of
Government employees separated
from the A. F.. of L. several
months ago, the A. F.. of L. has
been trying to support the Fed
eral employees cause, but could
do this only vaguely and with
Aandicaps.

Jury Dodgers Can't Get By
With Ordinary sAlibis

Look out Mr.. Jury Dodger. You
may get by the District Supreme
Court and the Police Court, but
the Municipal Court may get
you yet.
A new panel of jurors is to
be selected in the Districts small
est tribunal, but incidentally the
one in which it is most pleasant
to do jury duty.
Jurors doing 80 days" in the
Municipal Court often only have
to serve actually for three days
as jury assignments in the
court are generally disposed Of
in that period of time.
Profitable Duty
It nets them just as much
as they get for sitting in the
prouder tribunals and passing on
the error of human ways on a
larger scale. The pay since the
economy act is SO a day. Before
that it was 81.
The Municipal Court hears
civil suits amounting to $1,000 or
less.
Persons drawing war bonuses
or holding notary public certifi-
Gates are ineligible to serve on
juries in District Supreme Court
and Police Court, as the Govern
ment is a party to most cases
heard in them.
Uncle Sam seldom deigns to
sue anyone for less than $1,000,
so the Government is not a party
to Municipal Court cases. Hence
those with remote Government
connections are not excused from
jury duty in that court, and the
question has even been raised as
