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,
l)ut Mr. Astor said he would go on
deck and see what was the matter,
I called my maid and put on a light
dress. 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 then it was an iceberg. He was
very calm, and so I wasn't alarmed.
We didnrt put on any heavy wraps but
ordinary light clothers ,and went on
. deck.
"Everything was extremely quiet
No one seemed much excited. I'm
sure least 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 siuation 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 boats and at her
request Colonel Astor 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 Aastor sent his man to get some
heavy wraps and these were placed
about Mrs. Astor.
In 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
bailing out the boat. She saw the
Titanic sink and in the interim be
tween the arrival of the Carpathia,
six men were picked up by the boat
in which she rode, two of whom died
immediately on being pulled aboard.
When she was taken aboard the
Carpathia Mrs. Astor found a friend
who gave here her maid's cabin and
she had a comfortable time of it and
suffered no serious consequences from
exposure and wet.
It was denied on absolute author
ity today that an Astor heir is expect

Managing Director Of White Star Line
Tells- Of Disaster
NEW YORK, April 19. The story
of how the Titanic met its fate was
told today to the Unted States Sen
ate committee investigating the Titan
ic disaster by J. Bruce Ismay managing
director of the White Star line.
When asked the circumstances find
er which he left the boat, Ismay re
plied, almost in a whisper:
"One of the boats was being filled
Officers called out to know if there
were any more women to go. There
was none. No passengers were on
the deck. As the boat was being low
ered, I got into it" -
"Kindly tell the committee all the
circumstances surrounding your voy
age," asked Senator Smith. "Tell us
as suecintly as possible, beginning
with your boarding the vessel at Liv
erpool, your place on the ship and as
many circumstances as possible."
''First I wish to say that I court
the fullest inquiry,'' said Ismay.- "This
awful catastrophe, I must say at the
outset, I greatly deplore. We have
nothing to conceal, nothing to hide.
"We arrived at Queenstown Thurs
day noon. The Titanic was then run
ning at 70 revolutions. The first day,
I think, we made about 767 miles. The
next day we increased the speed to 72
revolutions and I think we made 519
miles. The next day we increased
to 75 revolutions and ran kbout 546
to 549 miles.
"The accident took place on Sunday
night. The exact time I do not konw
because I was asleep. The Titanic
sank, I am told, at 2:30-
"I understand you have been told
the Titanic was running at full speed.
It never had run at full speed. She
was built to go 80 revolutions, and
had never been sped up to that. We
never had all her boilers working. It
was our intention to speed the boat
up to her full qujfa on Tuesday, but
the catastrophe prevented it."
Although he came on a "voluntary
trip," Ismay said his purpose was to
see how the ship worked and in what
manner she could be improved upon,
A representative of the builder, Mr.
Andrew, was on board, Ismay said.
"Did he survive?" asked Smith,
"Unfortunately, no.'
Ismay said it was arranged between
him and Captain Smith, of the Titan
ic, not to arrive at New York light
ship before 5 A. M. Wednesday.
"There would have heen no advant
age in arriving earlier,;' he said.
"Wa3 there any attempt to lower
the boats of the Carpathia to take
on passengers after you went aboard
her?" asked Senator Smith.
"There were no passengers to take
on," said Ismay.
"In your lifeboat what course did
you take?" the Senator asked.
"We saw a light and headed for it,"
said Ismay.
"How long were you in this life
boat?" .-'"
"About four hours."
. "Were there any other lifeboats that
you saw?"
"Yes, we hailed one," he said. He

ation. saw no life rafts in the sea.
"How many lifeboats were on the
Titanic?'
"Twenty, altogether, I think," re
plied Ismay; "16 collapsible and four
wooden boats."
"Were all the lifeboats that left the
Titanic accounted tor"!"
"I think so. I have been told so;
but I do not know of my own know
ledge." ,
"It has been suggested," Senator
Smith continued, "that two of the
lifeboats sank as soon as lowered.
Do you know anything about that?"
"I do not. I never heard of it, and
I think all the lifeboats were account
ed for."
"Did you see the Titanic sink?"
"I did not see the Titanic go down,"
Ismay said, shaking his head mourn
fully. "Was there confusion apparent on
the Titanic when you looked back?"
"I did not see any. All I saw was
the green light the last time I look
ed."
"After you left Captain Smith on
the bridge did you see him again?"
"I did not."
"Did you have any message from
him?"
"None."
"How many wireless operators were
there on the Titanic?"
"I presume there were two," said
Mr. Ismay. "One is always on watch.'-'
"Did they survive?"
"I have been told one did, but I
do not know whether it is true."
WOMEN ROW LIFEBOATS
Many Thinly Clad Pull Oars As Well
. As Men
NEW YORK, April 19. Dazed, yet
nerved to the highest pitch by the or
deal through which they were pass
ing, women survivors of the Titanic
were calm and apparently unafraid
when the Carpathia reached the scene
of the disaster.
Some of the lifeboats were being
rowed by women when Captain Ros
tron, who had kept an all-night vigil
on the bridge, first sighted them
splashing about among the icebergs.
Mrs. C. F. Crane, of Fort Sheridan,
111., a passenger on the Carpathia,
said scores of passengers lined the
deck, watching for the first sight of
the Titanic, when news of the disaster
was received.
"With the aid of powerful glasses,"
Mrs. Crane said, "we soon sighted the
lifeboats. The first to come into view
was 'manned' by women.
"She has sunk," said an officer of
the ship who stood near me.
As the Carpathia slowed up the
women at the oars of the first boat
did not seem to be the least bit ex
cited. They were taken on board and
their calmness was remarkable. Not
one of the women was crying , and not
one of them showed any nervousness.
"It was a remarkable thing the
calmness of those women. Some were
thinly clad, while others were dressed
in evening gowns. Other boats came
into view. It seemed as though they
were coming from behind the ice
bergs. .And the women in the boats
were too dazed to realize their situa
tion. Some of the boats were only
half filled, and the men who had been
rowing were completely exhausted.
"When all the boats had been pick
ed up and there were no others in
sight the first burst of grief was
heard."
WIFE DIE TOGETHER
NEW YORK, April 19 Isidpr
Straus, the millionaire merchant of
New York, and his aged wife, stood
arm in arm on the first cabin deck
of the Titanic until they were sucked
under the ocean. As the lifeboats re
ceded from the scene the two old
persons stood calmly waiting. Death
was inevitable. They knew it, but
they were not dismayed.
Sailors of the Titanic tried to drag
Mr. and Mrs. Straus apart. They
tried to wrench the old woman away
from her husband, but she refused to
let go of him. They finally gave it
up. As the boat began to sink and
the lifeboats drew away from her, we
could see the pair standing together,
arm in arm. Straus bending toward
the partner of reclining years. It
was an inspiring picture.

"Landlubbers"
NEW YORK, April 19. Colonel
John Jacob Astor and Major Archi
bald Butt died together on the bridge
of the sinking Titanic. Dr. Washing
ton Dodge of San Francisco described
their heroic death as follows:
"The last I saw of Major Butt and
Colonel Astor the two were standing
on the bridge of the Titanic, appar
ently with their arms entwined about
each other's shoulders. This was the
last glimpse I had of them from the
lifeboat. Throughout the whole panic
and during the loading of the boats,
Butt and Astor assisted the ship's offi
cers. Like soldiers they seemed. As
I remember it, the two were together
throughout the whole of the panic. I
saw their figures outlined against the
light.
"I am confident that the Titanic
broke in two, and that was why she
sank. I remember that after she
struck she rocked fearfully several
times.
"All of the boats were not com
pletely filled. One, I think, only had
five passengers. The reason the boats
toco nnt filled was rtiin to the fact
that "few could be convinced that the
ship could go down. Many went oacK
to bed. The crew finally convinced
them that the boat was really sink
ing. Some of the stewards were rid
ing bicycles around the gymnasium
as the boat was sinking. Others were
playing racquet and handball.
"Many of the passengers and crew
stood at the rails and ridiculed those
1 WilU llltll L." 11 ,v mid .
! landlubbers. It was not until the wat
er crept over the top decks that nrst
cabin passengers realized their ser
ious position."
Butt's last goodbye was smilingly
said to Miss Marier Young, formerly a
music teacher to some of the Roose
velt children. Miss Young had fre
quently met Major Butt at the White
House. She was on the last boat to
leave the stricken leviathan.
"Major Butt escorted me to a seat
in the boat she said today. "He
helped me find a space, arranged my
clothing about me, stood erect, doffed
his hat, smiled and said "Goodbye,"
and then he stepped back to the deck,
already awash. As we rowed, away,
I looked back and the last I saw of
him he was smiling and waving his
hand to me."
Major Butt took charge of one sec
tion jof the ship, forced those with
the fear of death in their hearts to
a semblance of courage by his own
calmness and embarked all the wom
en the boats would hold.

While the race for the big Ford
automobile - was somewhat dwarfed
Friday by an election of state and na
tional importance, it is expected that
interest again will become keen today,
and from now until the final count
the candidates will be the busiest per
sons in "Clackamas County. In fact
several of the contestants took advant
age of the congregating of the voters
at the polls throughout the county
Friday and garnered many votes. And
in connection with the election the
contest manager desires to offer a
suggestion. The successful candidates
and their friends are naturally jubi
lant today, and there could not b
a more opportune time to call upon
them in connection with the race for
the automobile and the second prize.
And, incidentally, it would not be
good policy to call upon the defeated
candidates and their most ardent fol
lowers for a day of two, for they will
be somewhat disappointed aoid de
pressed. The contest, which up to date has
been the most interesting and excit
ing ever conducted in this county, is
gradually nearing a close, and the
contestants should take advantage of
every minute to get votes. As the
manager has frequently advised con
scientious and intelligent effort is cer
tain to win. There is hardly a doubt
that Miss McCord has been the hard
est worker so far, which accounts for
her standing at the head of the list
That she is going to work just as hard
in the future, and probably harder, is
a foregone conclusion and it behooves
the other contestants to emulate her
example. The race is far from settled
and any one of the candidates could
win if he would only make up his mind
to do so. Certainly a modern tour
ing car is worth working for, and if
.you should happen to lose it, the $100
in gold would sooth your troubled feel
ings. The manager advises you to
WORK, WORK, WORK.

The real hard fight of the Primary
campaign in Clackamas County was
over Representative, and two of the
victors are Chris Schuebel and F. M,
Gill, with the third ia doubt but Leh
man and Magone leading, with onlv
four votes between them in the com
plete returns from 33 precincts. s The
other candidates, however, are not
far behind and later returns may
change the relative standing of the
canaiaates.
-E. P. Carter, of Gladstone, has evi-
aenuy won the nomination for County
Assessor over James F. Nelson, ot
Milk Creek, and the race between C.
W. Strucken, of Boring, and L. E.
Williams is very close, with Williams
leading.
Roosevelt has carried Clackamas
County along with the State, as has
Selling for United States Senator.
For District Attorney E. B, Tongue
has his opponenet, A. W .Norblad, of
Clatsop County, beaten to a stand
still, and the showing of the Dist
rict Attorney is all the more remark
able because of the bitter fight made
against him, in which Democrats were
the leaders.
Olcott for Secretary of State carried
Clackamas, and Mickle, for Food and
Dairy Comissioner, leads here. The
complete returns are in from the pre
cincts of Oak Grove, Canemah, Ore

small majority, and D. E. Frost has

first and as a result the returns on
Democratic offices are light. Lane-

County Clerk Mulvey, School Superin

were all nominated without opposition
Clackamas Democrats renominated
Assessor Jack and Sheriff Mass and
also placed in nomination George M.
Hively for Commissioner and P. S.
Noyer for Representative.
The Primary election Friday was
the quietest held in Clackamas County
.since the enactment of the law, the
vote polled falling way below the reg
istration. In the four wards of Ore
gon City only 521 Republican votes
were cast out of a registration of more
than 900. The same condition pre
vailed in nearly every other precinct.
In Canby only 115 Republican votes
were polled, and the Democrats cast
an even 30.
The returns cafe straggling in over
the telegraph and various telephone
lines slowly, and the Morning Enter
prise office was besieged until ' long
past midnight with inquiries, the
main interest being manifested in the
votes for President and United States
Senator.
Canby was the first precinct to in
dicate, the result, telephonic informa
tion at 8:30 o'clock being that the pre
cinct would be for Taft and Selling
for President and United States Sena
tor respectively, and that District At
torney Tongue was in the lead there.
James F. Nelson, .candidate for the
Republican nomination for County As

came out of the ballot box.

WILSON THOUGHT TO HAVE
BEATEN CLARK FOR DEMO
CRATIC NOMINATION
FOR PRESIDENT
Theodore Roosevelt nas carried Ore
gon by a large plurality. Scattering
returns from about thirty counties in
dicate that Taft has run second and
that Senator La Follette has made a
remarkable race. The returns - indi
cate that Selling has beaten Bourne
for the senatorial nomination by a
comfortable plurality. La Follette
carried Multnomah County, his large
vote there evidently having been due
to the addresses made by him in
Portland.
Ben W. Olcott has been nominated
for Secretary of State, and Mickle
is leading Cotteli for Dairy and Food
Commissioner. Clyde B. Aitchison is
thought to have been nominated for
Railroad Commissioner In the second
district
E. B. Tongue has defeated A. W.
Norblad for the eRpublican nom
ination for District Attorney in the
Fifth Judicial District by a large ma
jority. Wilson leads Clark for the Demo
cratic nomination for President in
the State, and Lane, from the returns
received is picked as the Democratic
nominee for United States Senator.
The following Republican candidates
have won in Multnomah county:
Representative in Congress C. U.
Gantenbein. "'
Circuit Judge Department No. 2.
R. G. Morrow; Department No. 4.
George Tazwell.
District Attorney Walter H. Evans.
Sheriff W. H. Fitzgerald.
Assessor Henry E. Reed.
County Clerk John B. Coffey.
County Commissioner W. L.Light
ner. Corner Dr. Sam C. Slocum. .
Congressman Lafferty obtained a
larger vote than was expected in the
third district, but Judge Gantenbein
has a substantial majority.
Ia the Second Congressial District
(Eastern Oregon) returns are less
complete than on President and Sena
tor, but indications point to the nom
ination of Sinnott with Ellis second.
Analysis of the vote shown in the
returns on Presdent indicates that
Taft has carried several Eastern Ore
gon counties. Roosevelt obtained his
principal lead ia Multnomah and Mar
ion counties.
In the total vote for Senator, Lowell
is a bad third, while Morton received
only scattering votes.
Returns thus far insure the nomi
nation of Walter H. Evans for Dis
trict Attorney in Multnomah County.
He has a lead of two to one over Sen
eca Fouts his closest opponent with

' County Commissioner Lightner ap
parently has been renominated in

John B. Coffey has a strong lead
over H. C. Smith for County Clerk
and will receive the nomination. Hen
