PERISH GALLANTLY
Hope That Herman Klaber and
F. M. Warren, Sr., Survived
Titanic's Doom Vanishes.
WOMEN NOW THOUGHT SAFE
Mrs. Joappli ltlc.ch Itecelvcs Card
haying llnband Failed to Sail on
Ill-Fateil Vessel Harry Mol
on Is Relieved Dead.
Cnless tliat one slight thread of
hope which still holds forth In the
breasts of all who had dear ones on
board the Titanic develops Into rea
sonable assurance to the contrary, Her
man Klaber and F. M. Warren, Sr., the
two Portland men among; the passen
gers, will be mourned for dead.
All'other Portland people. Including;
Mrs. F. M. Warren, Mrs. James R.
Watt and Miss Bertha Watt, her
daughter, appear to have been saved.
All reports from the rescue ship Car
pathla contain the names of these
women among the passengers who
were saved. Mrs. Iuty D. Parrlsh,
mother of James H. Hall, of 41! Mor
rison street, also has been rescued,
according to latest reports, although
no advice has been received aa to the
fate of Mrs. William Shelley, her
daughter, who was traveling with her.
Hall hopes that the woman reported
among the rescued under the name
"Mrs. W. M. Spellery," will prove to be
his sister.
Contrary to reports received late
yesterday afiernoon, Mrs. Ellen Becker
and three children, of Benton Harbor,
Mich., were saved. Mrs. Becker Is a
sister of Mrs. Waldo Avery, Jr.. of 6S4
Mellnda avenue. Wireless messages
received from the Carpathla last night
said that Mrs. Becker and her children
were on board that vessel.
Rlrsch Falls to Sail.
Joseph Riesch, of 176 East Forty
fifth street, who w as believed to "have
Jeen aboard the Titanic, did not sail
as intended. A letter received last
night by his sister. Miss Frances
Riesch, brought -the reassuring news
that he had changed his mind and that
he would not leave England until late
In the present month.
"It was almost like receiving a mes
sage from the dead," said Miss Riesch,
as she beamed with Joy at her home
last night. "Joe wrote us a few weeks
ago that he would sail on the Titanic
as he wanted to have the novel expe
rience of being a passenger on the first
voyage of the largest vessel afloat. I
don't know what made him change his
plans, but I'm glad he did, as I know
Joe would not have tried to save him
self so long as there were women and
children on board who could be saved."
Riesch Is a rlerk In the haberdash
ery of C. C. Bradley, on Waahlngton
street. He is 22 years of age and has
been touring Europe for the last six
-weeks. His last written word to his
family here was from Brussels In
which he expressed hig Intention of
sailing on the Titanic. A card writ
ten about the same time said he had
not made tip his mind on the subject
and that he might delay departure
for a few weeks.
Actors ShOTT Concern for Harris.
Four actors at the Orpheum this
week are much concerned over the fata
of Henry B. Harris. the theatrical
magnate who is reported among the
missing. They are Miss Katherlne
tires-, leading woman In the sketch,
"Above the Law." and Bennett South
nrfi. a member of the old Baker Stock
Company, of Portland; Menifee John
atono and Arthur Row, who are sup
porting her. All four were with Mr.
Harris' company until six weeks ago,
when they left to go into vaudeville.
They were with Mr. Harris at the
dock when he left New York and
looked forward with a great deal of
pleasure to seeing him again soon after
his return.
It is virtually certain that Mrs. War
ren. Mrs. Watt and Miss Watt have
been saved, although Mr. Warren and
Mr. Klaber are almost certain to have
been lost. Some slight consolation is
obtained from their fa.e by the knowl
edge that they willingly forfeited their
own lives that those of Innocent wom
en and children might be saved.
Mra. Watt aad Daughter Safe.
. James R, Watt, of 189 East Four
teenth street, whose wife and daughter.
Bertha, were among those rescued by
the Carpathla, was overjoyed to learn
of their aafety yesterda-. Reports re
ceived the previous evening were dis
couraging, and Mr. Watt was prepared
to believe the worst. "The suspense
has been dreadful." said Mr. Watt.
"Now that I know my wife and daugh
ter are safe. I am extremely anxious
to hear what their experience was.
They expected to reach Portland toward

relatives In New York and Boston.
They will now come directly to Port
land." Mrs. R. L. Rush, of 755 Everett street,
whose brother, J. B. Brady, of Pomeroy,
Wash., is not Included In the list of
survivors, received a telegram yester
day from M. H. Houser In New York,
which said: "Last news dispels all
doubt. Only few men saved on account
of scarcity of lifeboats." In spite of
this discouraging dlppatch, Mr. Brady's
brother, E. R. Brady, of Montesano,
Wash who is in Portland, still has
hopes that the missing -man may be
among the survivors. Mr. Brady Is
vice-president of the State Bank at
Pomeroy. Wash. In company with his
sister, who remained In Berlin. Mr.
Brady sailed for Europe last Decem
ber for a six months' trip. Visits were
made to various points on the Riviera,
Palestine, Egypt, France and Germany.
Mr. Brady was born in Chehalis Coun
ty Washington, and was 40 years of
age. He had lived In Pomeroy for the
past 25 years.
Molaoa Believed to. Have Perished.
Among those who are thought to
have perished is Harry M. Molson, for
merly of this city, but more recently
of Montreal. Mr. Molson was at one
time prominent In local business cir
cles, but left Portland in 1S88. since
which time he has been connected with
the Molson Bank, one of the largest
financial Institutions in Montreal. Mr.
Molson had been spending several
months in Europe and was on his
homeward voyage when the ship went
down. He was 56 years old and un
married. Old-timers in Portland re
member Mr. Molson pleasantly and re
garded him as a man of exceptional
ability and strict integrity.
Mr. Molson was the oldest son of
William Markland Molson and stepson
of Mrs. Vellna Nesmith Molson. who Is
a sister of Mrs. Harriet McArthur and
an aunt of C. N. and Lewis A. McArthur,
of this city. His father was at one
time quite prominent in local business
circles, but retired ten years ago and
moved to Montreal, where he and his
wife reside at present. Another son,
Frederick Molson, also resided in Port
land for a number of years and mar
ried Miss Katherlne" Stewart, a mem
ber of a pioneer family, but he, too,
later moved to Montreal, where he has
achieved marked success as a busi
ness man.
Up to a late hour last night Mr. Mol
son's relatives In this city had re
ceived no encouraging news.
Bequlern Mass For Loat One.
All officials of the city were invited
yesterday to be present at a solemn re
quiem mass, which will be sung at the
Cathedral of the Immaculate Concep
tion at 15th and Davis streets at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, for the re
pose of the souls of those who lost their
lives in the wreck of the steamer Ti

In calling to order the meeting of the
Rotary Club yesterday, "I wish to ask
Dr. Boyd to offer a prayer for those

Dr. Boyd, a member of the club and

Mr. Warren had cold storage plants
Cathlamet and Warrendale, and two

while he had retired from the active

men of his class, he even desired to

The trip of Mr. and Mrs. Warren to

WRECKS ABE RECALLED
TITANIC DISASTER REVIVES IX-
TEREST IX SEA TRAGEDIES.
Steamer Mohegan. Which Ran on
Rocks on English Coast, Among
Those Costly to Life.
Of steamship wrecks recalled, that of
the steamer Mohegan, which ran on
the rocks In October. 1898, in the vi
cinity of the Lizard, on the extreme
south coast of England, cost 100 lives.
The Mohegan was, a comparatively new
vessel, and was formerly known on
another line as the Cleopatra, mere
waa nr, f ii"- at the time, the wind was
not heavy, but she was fully seven
miles out of her course. As soon as
the disaster was observed from the
shore, lifeboats were started towar.a
the wreck, and the fact that the sea
was running high made It difficult to
save the survivors. The officers and
crew behaved with courage and com
posure, the captain going down with
his ship. Many persons were killed by
being beaten by the waves on the
rocks.
Miss Katherine Noble, of Baltimore,
Md., made a brave fight for her life.
She was rescued after being three
hours on the sea, clinging to a plank
and swept from point to point by the
huge waves. Ultimately, she was res
cued by a lifeboat crew and taken to
a fisherman's cottage, where it waa
found that she had sustained no greater
Injury than severe bruises.
"Give the boats to the women and
children. Soldiers, attention! Present
arms!" Ajid 357 soldiers, standing In
rank, sank beneath the waves to death.
That is the story of the scene enacted
when the British troopship Birkenhead
was wrecked on the rocks off Cape
Town, South Africa, February 26t 1852.
and when 357 officers and men sank to "
their doom, very quietly, rather than
"rush" the boats and thereby imperil
the safety of the women and children.
Great Britain was at war with the
Kaffirs in South Africa, and the Birken-
head sailed from Cork harbor, Ireland,
with about 550 reinforcements to help
fight the Kaffirs. The troops were
English. Irish and Scotch. To make
haste, the captain sailed too near tho
rocks, and then came the catastrophe.
Colonel Seton called his officers around
him and impressed on them the neces
sity of preserving order among the en
listed men.
"The order and regularity that pre
vailed on board from the time the ship
struck until she finally disappeared, far
exceeded anything that could be ef
fected by the best discipline; and It Is
more to be wondered at, seeing that
most of the soldiers had been but a
short time in tho service," said Captain
Wright. "Every soldier did as he was
directed, and there was not a murmur
or a cry among them as the vessel
made her last plunge. I could not name
any individual officer who did more
than another. All received their orders
and had them carried out, as If the
men were embarking instead of going
to the bottom."
"During the short time that elapsed
from the striking to the sinking of the
vessel." wrote Sergeant-Major Andrews.
"Colonel Seton was most calm and firm
in all hi3 orders, his first care being
directed towards putting in the boats
the women, children and s"ck: and
then, on account of the heavy lurching
of the vessel, which caused the horses
to lunge and plunge, thereby endanger
ing the lives of the people on board,
ho ordered the horses to be thrown
overboard. Even at the most critical
moments. Colonel Seton's Instructions
were carried out without a murmur
from either side, so much esteemed
was he by all present. His last words
to me were, 'Sergeant-Major, keep the
men steady and quiet, and I shall ba
the last man that shall leave the ship.
During the time the vessel was on the
rock, it was pitch dark, and the com
mander of the ship was trying to
launch the paddle-box boats: but with
all the confusion on board, all listened
most attentively to .Colonel Seton s or
ders, and so great was the silence that
a pin might be heard to drop."
Other accounts say that the men fired
one last volley, as they sank, standing
In solid ranks. Many of them wera
afterward eaten by sharks.
