"When we started to uncover the
boats, lie was standing on the boat
deck."
"What was be dolng7"
"Standing still."
"Was he fully dressed?"
"I couldn't say for sure. It was dark."
-When you saw Mr. Ismay 20 min
utes after the collision, were there any
other passengers near him"
"I didn't see anyone In "particular,"
said JJghtholder. "but there might
have been some."
The witness described the collision
as "a slight Jar, followed by a grinding
sound."
l.llththolder said that on Sunday be
saw a message from "some ship" about
an Iceberg ahead. He did not know
the Amerlka sent the message, he
testified.
The ship was making about -I to
US knots. Llghtholder testified. He
emliTstood this was not the best the
ship could do.
Il.l you have an ambition to see
what the ship could maker1 the wit
ness was asked.
"Naturally, at some time."
"What was the weather that night?"
queried Senator $mith.
"Clear and fair."
V easel Held n Her Courae.
"Were you anxious about Ice?"
"No, sir."
'And you put on no additional look
out?" "No, sir."
"When Captain Smith came on the
bridge at five minutes of , what was
ai.l?"
-We talked together generally tor it
or -i minutes about when we might
expect to get to the Ire fields. He left
the bridge. I think, about SS minutes
after o'clock and In our talk he told
me to keep the ship on her course,
but if I was In the slightest degree
doubtful about conditions developing,
to let him know at once."
'Tld you keep the Titanic on her
course, then?" Senator Smith asked.
"Yes." ,
"When did you next see Captain
Smithr;
"When I came out of the officers'
quarters after the Impact." fjghthold
er replied.
Then Captsln Smith did not return
to the bridge before your watch ex
pired?" "I did not see him."
"Where did you last see Captain
S-mltbT" the tenator asked.
"I was busy at ray own work about
54 feet away and have a recollection of
seeing the captain walking across the
bridge. I did not then hear him give
any orders. I was too far away."
Deeka latent at Fad.
"When the Titanic sank were her
decks intact?"
"Absolutely intact."
Senator Smith asked what was the
last order he beard Captain Smith
give.
"When I asked If I should put the
women and children in the boats." re
plied Llghtholder. "he responded, "Yes,
and lower away.'"
"What did you do?"
"Obeyed orders."
The last boat to put of, a flat col
lapsible, was one on top of the of
ficers" quarters. Llghtholder said. The
men dumped It on deck and waited
for the mater to float It off. Once at
-a It upset. The forward funnel fell
Into the water, Just missing the raft
and overturning It. The funnel prob
able killed persons In the water.
"This was the boat I eventually got
..n." declared Llghtholder. "No one
was on It when I reached It. Later
shout 30 men climbed out of the water
onto It. All had on life-preservers.

"fid any passengers get on?" asked
Senator Smith.
"J. B. .Thayer, the second Marconi
op-rstor and Colonel tirade. I recall."
said the witness. "All the rest were
flrmen. taken out of the water. Two
of these died trfat night and slipped
off Into the water. I think the senior
Marconi operator d'd that."
"I e from cold?"
''Yes. sir."
' Was there any effort by others to
c-t on board?" continued trustor
Smi'h.
-We took all we could."
-There must have been otbers in the
vaterr
"But not near us."
"How far away?"
"Seemed a half mile."
"Who took command?"
"I did. as far as necessary."
-When yon left did you see any
women or children on board?"
"No. sir."
"Any passengers on the so-called
boat deck?"
"A number."
Stewardesses Twraed Hack.
An error In his testimony was cor
rected by the witness who said there
were 20 lifeboats aboard, four of which
were collapsible. One boat stuck In Its
tackle, and never got off.
"How were the passengers selected to
fill the bontsT'

Who determined who should go?
I did."
"How?"
"Whenever I saw a woman I put her
In. except stewardesses. I turned these
back."
"Did you see any attempt to get
women to go who would not?"
"Yes."
"Why would they not go?"
"I hadn't time to learn."
"Did any ask for their families to

"No." "
In the first boat to be put off. Light

men were placed in it. The officer

At that time he did not believe the

In the boat, he said, were selected by
him, but he did not recall who they
were.
"Hoe- did you happen to name
them?"
"Because they were standing near.
"fid they want to go?"
"I didn't atik them; they went by my
orders."
"How many passengers did the sec
ond boat take?"
"About 30." said Llghtholder. "Two
seamen, as far as I remember, sir."
"fid you see that boat again?"
"Not to my knowledge."
"The third boat?"
"No. By the time I came to the third
boat all these on the port side 1 be
gan to realise that the situation was
serious and I began -to take chances."
"How long did all the work of load
ing and lowering a boat take?"
"It is difficult to say, but 1 think
about 15 or 20 minutes."

"How many passengers did the third
boat contain?"
"I filled her up as full as I dared and

self to be a very brave man."
"Who was he? Did u know himr
"I didn't know him then, but after
ward I looked him up. He waa Major

-Had you ever seen him before?"
Never."

Of the fifth boat Llghtholder had no
particular recollection. "The last boat
I put out. my sixth boat." he said, "we
had difficulty la finding women. I
called for women and none were on
deck. The men began to get In and
then women appeared. As rapidly as
they did the men passengers got out
of the boat again.
"The boat deck waa only Men feet
from the water when I lowered the
sixth boat. When we lowered the
first the distance to the water was '0
feet "
AU told. Llghtholder testified. 210
members of the crew were saved.
"If the same course waa pursued on
the starboard side as upon the port In
filling boats, how do you account for
so many members of the crew being
saved?" asked Senator Smith.
"I have inquired especially and have
found that for every s'x persons picked
up. five were either firemen or stew
ards." Ljfebeats Contlno Rescue Work.
Some lifeboats, thn witness said,
went back after the Titanic sank and
picked up men from the sea.
Llghtholder said he stood on top of
the officer's quarters and as the ship
dived he faced forward and dived also.
"I was sucked against a blower and
held there." testified the officer.
"Head above water?"
"No. sir. A terrlflce gust came up

"How far were you blown T"
"Barely clear. I was sucked down
again. This time against a grating."
"Did anyone else have a similar ex
perience?" "Yes. Colonel Grade."
"How did you g't loose?"
"J don't know: maybe anothor ex

"Were there any water-tight com
partments on that ship?" waa asked.
-Certainly: 40 or 50."

""Must have been, by the plans dis
tributed about the hip."
"Did you know whether any of the
crew or passengers took to the water
tight compartments aa a last resort?
"It la quite impossible for me to
say."
"Is It at all likely?"
"I think very unlikely."
"As for yourself, you preferred to
take to the open aea?"
"Vndoubtedly."
-Are the water-tight compartments
Intended as refuge tor passengers?"
Xh. dear. no. sir, not at any time."
"Suppose this ship had sunk in less
depth of water, would the water-tight
compartments have been any refuge?"
"No. sir; never Intended for that pur

the ship from sinking."
"What other officers besides your

WASHINGTON. April U.-With all
hope for the rescue of Major Archi
bald Butt abandoned. President Tart :
I today Issued a statement showing the
high retard in which he held him and I
, his belief that he died as a man should
I die In the fucc of such a disaster.
The President said:
"Major Archie Butt was my mili
tary aide. He was like a member of
my family, and I feel hla loss as if he
had been a younger brother. The chief
trait of his character was loyalty to
his Ideals, his cloth and his friends.
"His character was a simple one. In
the sense that he was Incapable of
intrigue or Insincerity. He was gentle
and considerate to everyone, high and
low. He never lost, under any condi
tion, his sense of proper regard to
what he considered the respect duo to
constituted authority.
"He waa an earnest member of the
Kpiseopal Church and loved that com
munion. He was a soldier, every inch
of him; a most competent and success
ful quartermaster and a devotee to his
profession.
"After I heard that part of the
ship's company had gone down. I gave
up hope for the rescue of Major Butt,
unless by accident. I knew that he
would certainly remain on the ship's
deck until every duty had been per
formed and every sacrifice made that
properly fell on one charged, as he
would feel himself charged, with re
sponsibility for the rescue of others.
"He leaves the widest circle of
friends whose memory of him Is sweet
In every particular."
Tributes to Major Butt continued to
pour Into the White House today.
Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
said:
"He was one of God Almighty's gen
tlemen." BUTT COIJ.IX.TED AXD BU.VVE

story of the heroism of Major Archibald
Butt on the Titanic, was told today in
an Interview given to the Washington
Star's staff correspondent In New York

Miss Young, believed to have been
the last woman to leave the Titanic,
and Major Butt had long been friends.
Miss Younp- having been a special mu
sic Instructor to the children of formtr
President Roosevelt. Miss Young said:
"The last person to whom I spoke on
board the Titanic was Archie Butt, and
his good, brave face, smiling at me
from the deck of the steamer, was the
last I could distinguish as the boat I
was in pulled away from the steamer's
side.
"Archie himself put me into the
boat, wrapped blankets around me and
tucked me In as carefully as If we
were starting on a motor ride.
' "He entered the boat with me, per
forming little courtesies as calmly and
with as smiling a face as If death was
far away."
"When he had carefully wrapped me
up, he stepped on the gunwale of tho
boat and, lifting his hat, smiled down
at me.
" "Goodbye, Miss Young." he said
bravely, and smiling. 'Luck la with you.
Will you kindly remember me to all
the folks back home?
"Then he stepped to the deck of the
steamer, and the boat I was in was
lowered to the water. It was the last
boat to leave the ship; of this I am
perfectly certain. And I know (Tiat I
am the last of those who were saved
to whom Archie Butt spoke."

strong mineral mixtures which act so unpleasantly and disastrously on
the delicate membranes and tissues of the stomach and bowels, that even
if such treatment purified the blood, the condition in which the digestive

trouble. Not so with S. S. S. it is tho greatest of all blood purifiers, and
at the same time is an absolutely safe and harmless remedy. It is made
