MRS. ASTOR TELLS SENATE PROBES OCEAN DISASTER J. BRUCE ISMAYi OF WHITE 8TAR LINE, IS PUT THROUGH SE VERE GRILLING BY COMMITTEE NEW YORK, Aril 19. Mrs. John Jacob Astor today told her story of when the Titanic struck as follows: "We had gone to bed when the Jar was felt. We thought It was nothing, but Mr. Astor suld be would go on deck and see what was the matter. I called my maid and put on a light drcsa. Pretty soon Mr. Astor came back and said he did not think it was anything serious. He said that the ship had struck Ice but we didn't know th n It was an Iceberg. He was very calm, and so I wasn't alarmed. We didn't put on any heavy wraps but ordinary light dottier .and went on deck." "Everything was extremely quiet No one seemed much excited. I'm sure leant of all Mr. Astor and myself. We walked around and people began to pour on deck. The excitement be gan to grow, but the ship seemed to be all right. Then the order was pass ed to get out the boats, but nobody wanted to get Into them, and the first ones lowered were only partly filled. "The sluation didn't begin to get grave until most of the boats were gone and there were only two left." Mrs. Astor and her maid and a nurse got Into one of the boat and at her request Colonel A lor got In with her, but got out at once. He stood calmly as the boat was being lowered away and called to her: ''Goodbye, dearie, I'll Join you shortly." Before the boats were lowered Col--onel Aafltor sent his man to get some heavy wraps and these were placed about Mrs. Astor. Ia the water the boat pulled away from the Titanic and began Immedi ately to ship water until It was to her knees. She occupied her time by balling out the boat. She saw the Titanic sink and In the Interim be tween the arrival of the Carpathla, bIx men were picked up by the boat In which she rode, two of whom died Immediately on being pulled aboard.

HEROES PERISH AIDING WOMEN MAJOR ARCHIBALD BUTT, ISIDOR 8TRAU8 AND COLONEL JOHN JACOB ASTOR AMONG COOLER HEAD8 NEW YORK. April 18. The Cunard liner Carputhiii, a ship of gloom und succor, cuine Into New York tonight with first news direct from the great White star liner Titanic, which sunk oR the grand bank of Newfoundland oarly Monday morning lust. The greut liner went down with her bund plnyng, taking with her to death all but 715 of her human cargo ol 2:140 mouIs. To this awful death llHt, six per ilous' were mined, uue una id me lifeboat which was put off from the liner' bide and five subsequently sue cuinuod on the rescue ship Carpathla. Tho llHt of prominent men missing Mauds as prevlouHly reported and the total death HhI as brought to port to night by the Carpathla is 1601. Survivors In the lifeboats huddlod In the darkness at a safo distance from the stricken ship and saw her go down Aa to the scene on board when the liner struck, accounts disagree wide ly. Some maintain that a compara tive calm prevailed; others say that lid disorder broke out and that there was maniacal struggle for the life boats. That the liner struck an lcoberg.as reported by wireless, Is confirmed by all. Sensational rumors told by hyster ical passengers, who could not give their names, said that Captain Smith l.ud killed himself on the brldgo, that I he chief engineer had taken his life, nnd that three Italians were shot In the struggle for the boats. These minors could not bo confirm ed In the arly confusion attendant upon the landing of the survivors. She struck amidships and, ripped from stem to engine-room by the great mass of ice. the Tltnnlc's Bide wus laid wldo open. She quickly listed to starboard and a shower of ice fell oil the forecastle deck. Shortly before she sank .she broke In two ahufl tho engine-room and as she disappeared beneath tho wuter tho expulsion of air causod two explosions which were heard plainly by tho survivors aariii. A moment more and the Titanic had gone to her doom with the fated hun dreds grouped on the after-deck. To the survivors they were visible to the lust and their cries and moans were pltlnblo. Colonel Archibald Grade, U. S. A., the last man Baved went down with the vessel, but was picked up. He was met tonight by his daughter, who had arrived from Washington, and his son-in-law, Paul H. Frabrlclus. Colonel Grade told a remarkable story of personal hardship and denied emphatically the reports that there had been any panic oa board. He praised In the highest terms the be havior of both the passengers and the crew and paid high tribute to the he roism of the women passengers. "Mrs. Isldor Straus," he said, "went to her death because she would Sot desert her husband. Although he pleaded with her to take her place in the boat, she steadfastly refused and when the ship settled at the head the two were engulfed by the wave that swept her." Colonel Grade told how be was driven to the topmost deck when the ship settled and was the sole survivor after the wave that awept her Just before her final plunge had passed. "I Jumped with the wave." he said, "JuHt as I often have Jumped with the breakers at the seashore. By good fortune I managed to grasp the brass railing on the deck above and I hung on by might and mala. When the ehlp plunged down I waa forced to let go and I was swirled around and around for what seemed to be an in terminable time. Eventually I came to the surface to find the sea a mass of tangled wreckage. "Luckily, I wa unhurt, and aelzed a wooden grating floating near by. When 1 recovered my breath I dis covered a larger canvas and cork life raft which had floated up. A man whose name I did not learn was strug gling toward It. I cast off and helped him to get into the raft .and we then began the work of rescuing others floundering In the water. "When dawn broke there were 30 of us on the raft standing knee deep in the Icy water and arraia to move lest tbe cranky craft be overturned. Several unfortunates, benumbed and half dead, besought us to save them, and one or two made an effort to reach us, but we had to wara them away. Had we made any effort to (Continued on page 8.)

The editorial rooms were filled with reporters nt the time. These men dashed over chair and desks to the rescue of their chief, but Aleck con temptuously hurled his gun to the floor nnd submitted calmly to cap; ture, Basing In effect, "Don't strike me.

Rothrock cried out but once after striklnir the floor. "Get the doctor," he said, then grow rigid and waa dead within flvo minutes, nlmost before medical asslBtance could reach blm. Aleck stubbornly maintained a reti cent attitude at the station concerning the shooting. He admitted that he did not know the editor, and said he would tell the reasons for the murd er In court.

The letter, which warns the Presi dent that a strike of the 300,000 mem bers of the Federation will be called unless action is taken, follows: "The convention of Federated Rail way Employes, representing all roadi west and south of Chicago, now in session at Kansas City, having under consideration the Illinois Central Btrike have decided to extend or make preparation to extend the strike over all Western railways unless settle ment of an honorable character can be secured. Permit us to refer you to recent correspondence on this strike, in which it was pointed out to you the great loss to these Inter ests, the tremendous loss of life and the delay of the United States malla. "The men are determined and when It Is taken Into consideration that these other roads, affiliated with the General Managers' Association are assisting the Harrlman lines and the Illinois Central, they cannot be blam ed for the action contemplated. The seriousness of It can be meaaured by the effect of the one now in progress.

Ben Selling has carried Oregon ov er Senator Bourne by at least 8000, according to presenlt indications with the probability that the plurality will run up to 8500. These estimates are based on re turns from all but fourteen precincts in Multnomah County, complete re turns from Benton, Clackamas, Clat soy. Hood River, Sherman and Was co counties and more or less com plete returns from every other county in the state. On the Democratic count it seems certain tbat Woodrow Wilson haa re ceved the preference of the Oregon voters for President and tbat Harry Lane, will be tbe Democratic candidate for Senator. Returns received on the Republi can ticket supply a total so far of 62,871 votes for President Of these Roosevelt has 25,034 and Taft 17, 986. The pluralities shown in the partial returns are as follows: Roose evlt over La Follette 5183, Roosevelt over Taft 7044. The aggreagte in the Incomplete returns on Senator for the State at large is 62,427, of which Selling has 29.300, Bourne 23.222, Lowell 6923 and Morton 2984. Selling is thus leading Bourne by 6080 votes. Multnomah and Jackson counties, where Bourne obtained his principal pluralities ov er Selling have reported practically complete returns, so tbat the probab ilities are, that In the remaining count Selling will increase his lead by 2000 to 2500 votes. These and the esti mates, including those oa President, are based on a probable total Re publican vote in Oregon of 75,000. In tbe second Congressional Dist rict (Eastern Oreogn), N. J. Slnnott has a lead of about 700 over W. R. Ellis, who Is second in the race. Congressman Laflerty has beaten Gantenbein by about 1,000:. The vote reported gives the follow ing totals.
