PARIS, May 22. (Special cable.)
That a panic on the sinking liner
Egypt -was caused when the- Lascar
crew rushed the lifeboats, is con
firmed by the signed statements of
everal of the white passengers.
A young English girl who was res
etted from the sea draws a terrible
picture of the decks as the maddened
Indians hurled themselves upon the
loats. Many of them from the engine
room wore nothing but a loin cloth
as they dashed on deck and pushed
Englishmen in dinner jackets and
comen in evening dress aside.
Others rushing up and down the
decks seized all the life belts and
plunged into the water.
Operator Goes to Death.
Th wireless operators both went
(town with the Egypt, sending out the
6. O. S. until the sea closed over the
tireless house.
A. W. Hardwick, the senior oper
ator, was at dinner when the crash
occurred. Rushing to his post on
fleck, he ordered his junior to help
the ship's officers while he sent out
the call for help.
The junior returned with a lifebelt,
tut Hardwick refused to leave and
the younger man stayed with him.
Although sucked down by the vortex,
Hardwick was still alive when picked
up by the Seine, but died of exhaus
tion before port was reached.
A young Scotchman, Joe F. Duff of
t)undee, says:
"If It had not been for the Lascars
nd natives rushing the boats, all the
Women would have been saved. There
vaa a ecene of wild disorder, but I
Aid not hear revolvers being fired,
although they were drawn by the of
ficers in an effort to keep the Lascars
from the boats."
Duff asserts he saw two of the
fcoats stormed by the crew as they
were being lowered. He adds that he
and another survivor. Captain G. D.
Carr, had difficulty in jumping into
One of them.
Crew Draws Knives.
Another survivor says the Indians
feven drew knives in their attempt to
keep women and children from the
boats. In many cases the natives
Were the victims of their own panic,
as the overcrowded boats broke from
the ropes and fell with their load into
the sea. In one case a boat fell on
the struggling men who had fallen
from it into the water and crushed
several of them.
The captain of the Egypt, which
lies in 400 feet of water with $6,000,000
la gold in. the safe, seemed still dazed,
and all he would say when questioned
about the ramming of the vessel by
the French freighter Seine was:
"I'm the captain of the -Egypt and
she's at the bottom of the sea."
Ship printer Genner had buckled
On his life belt when he saw a wo
man unable to get to the boats and
without a belt. Taking his own, he
strapped it about her, saying:
"I can't swim, madam, but no mat
ter. Tell my wife at Dover."
Life Given for Woman.
Genner was drowned but the wo
man was picked up and brought to
Brebt on the Seine. -'
Dr. Brammer, the ship's physician,
with Captain Keating of the Ulster
r'fles, clung to a bit of wreckage for
half an hour. Then the doctor, un
able to hold on any longer, held out
his hand to Keating and murmured
"Goodbye, I'm finished."
Captain Keating was finally picked
The survivors are being cared for
by the people of Brest in the hotels
of the city. Many of them are with
out clothing and are being supplied
By citizens of the. port.
FOG IS BLAMED FOR CRASH
Weather Is Declared to Have Been
Thickest in Years.
' BREST, May 22. (By the Associat
ed Press.) The thickest fog in years
axound the Finistere-Ushant light
alone was responsible for the catas
trophe to the British steamship Egypt,
according to Captain Le Barzic, com
manding officer of the freight
Bteamer Seine, in his report to the
ministry of merchant marine.
The Seine rammed the Egypt Satur
day night and nearly 100 persons lost
their lives in the disaster. - Among
them were two Americans, Mrs. M. L.
6lbley and Miss V. M. Boyer, missiffn
Jles, on their way to India.
"The fog was so thick," says the
Import, "that the captain on the bridge
Was unable to see the bow of his
Bliip. On Saturday at 4:20 P. M. the
fog became so thick I gave orders to
slow down to 50 revolutions a min
nte, thus maintaining an average
speed of six knots. When, at 7
O'clock, I heard a fog horn quite close,
find immediately a huge bulk ap
peared at right angles crossing our
bow, I gave orders to reverse the
engines. But too latea terrible
crash occurred, my ship striking the
other amidships. "
"The fog whis'tle was sounded and
I finally suoceeded in catching sight
or a liner, listing badly to starboard
At 7:40 the ship, which later was
identified as the Egypt, went down
by the stern.
"I ordered all the boats lowered
and scoured the sea for hours pick
ing up several dead and also many in
whom life was not yet extinct.
pave up about 11:50 and returned to
Brest."
The disaster occurred a few- miles
from Green Kocks-. where the Drum'
mond Castle was wrecked in June,
ISM, with a loss of 247 lives. A
hoavy fog still hangs over the shores
of Finistere. making the works of the
searching parties difficult.
"When the vessels came together
those aboard the Egypt did not real
ize at first the extent of the damage
caused by the little freighter Seine.
It was some minutes before the liner
began to keel over and then the pas
sengers dashed in great alarm from
the dining room to the deck.
Captain Collyer urged them to be
calm, and ordered out the boats, for
which there was a rush. The Lascars,
it is asserted, used clubs in an at
tempt to get possession of the boats,
but the officers drew their revolvers
and drove them away.

Kcchcck Gives Victory to Clark by
v - Margin of 108 Votes. -Apparently
W. W. Banks has failed
of renomination for his seat in the

checking The Oregonian's figures on
this nomination and on the 12th, 13th
and 14th positions in the Multnomah
representative race does not change
the results from those originally . an

Senator Caraway Declares Prison
Physician's Report of Disease
Is Cue for Appeal.
WASHINGTON. D. C, May 22. Re
newing his attacks on Attorney-General
Daugherty in the senate today,
Senator Caraway, democrat; Arkansas
placed in the congressional record
alleged copies of two more letters
purporting to show that Mr. Daugh
erty was actively and directly inter
ested in obtaining the release from
the Atlanta penitentiary of Charles
W. Morse, the shipbuilder.
"e letters; published today In a
iocal paper, Senator Caraway said,
showed that Mr. Daugherty was en
gaged as counsel in the case because
ne had the confidence of former
President Taft, who commuted Mr.
Morse s lo-year sentence, and charged
mat Mr. Daugherty had "abused1
Mr. Taft's confidence
One of the letters purported to be
from Thomas B. Felder, New York
attorney, alleged to have been asso
ciated with Mr. Daugherty in th
Marse pardon case. The other alleged
tu nave Deen written by Frank L.

Georgian, to Mr. Fe'der. aaiA that Mr
Morse owed his liberty and his life to
jours and Mr. Daujrherty's efforts.
oeeiey saio nis interest was
'purely philanthrop'c " Both letters
oore laii dates.
Rectification Held Prevented.
Commenting on statements in the
letters that Mr. Felder and th pres
ii."riiey-eeneral took steps to
prevent revocation of Mr. Morse's re
lease when it was charged that fraud
naa Deen practiced upon President
Taft, Senator Caraway asserted that
Mr. Felder and Mr. Daugherty, if not
cognizant or the original fraud, pre
vented rectification.
it tney "were not a party to the
i.aua.in us original nerDetratinn
said Senator Caraway, "they became
accomplices alter the fact."
Senator Moses, republican. ( rcw
Hampshire, when Senator Caraway
had finished, asserted that "the whole
reriormance In connection with dis
cussion of the Morse case, was i
smoke screen to hide democratic
cabinet officers who served under theJ
last administration." The Morse and
Bosch Magneto cases now before the
department of justice, the New Hamp
shire senator said, promised to "seri
ously embarrass a former attorney
general and former secretary of the
treasury."
- Conviction Thought Possible.
Senator Caraway disclaimed any
intent to embarrass the department
or any interest in the pending prose
cution. "If the former attorney-general is
as bad as this attorney-general he
ought to be prosecuted," he added.
The evidence submitted in the Morse
case, if placed before a jury. Senator
Caraway declared, would convict both
Mr. Daugherty and Mr. Felder. of
fraud.
The letter by Mr. Felder, purport
ing to have been written to Lon O.
Bailey, Hanover National Bank build
ing, New York, detailed connections
with the Morse case at length, ex
plaining receipt as a fee in the case
of 25.000 in stock, on which divi
dends subsequently ceased. The letter
said that Mr. Felder was engaged by
Mr. Seeley, the Atlanta editor, and
that Mr. Felder arranged to renew
Mr. Morse's commutation plea just
before expiration of Mr. Taft's term.
Disease Report Is Basis,
The letter said that Mr. Felder and
Mr. Daugherty were informed by Dr.
A. L. Fowler, prison physician, that
Mr. Morse appeared to have Brights'
disease.
"With this cue, Mr. Daugherty and
myself took up the matter de novo,"
the letter continued. "We returned
to Washington, discussed this phase
of the case with the attorney-general
and with the president. . . . The
application for pardon or clemency
'hung fire' for several weeks. ... .
During all those weeks, Mr. Daugh
erty and myself spent practically all
of our time in New York, Cincinnati
and Washington working upon the
case."

The. board had about concluded to I
make known its decision Saturday J
afternoon, but with both sldesistand- i J
lug out on the hall feature. It was I
regarded best to withhold final action (
for 48 hours. The submission of the
findings yesterday to the employers!)
resulted in a full meeting of the i I
latter at the Chamber of Commerce.!;
That was followed by a session be-1 j
tween a committee from the em-1 1
ployers and the state board at j ;
o'clock in the afternoon at library j
hall, while last anight Otto Hartwig
placed the findings in full" before ail
general meeting of the longshore- .
men's union. The. longshoremen's. I
committee had discussed the findings j
with Mr. Hartwig in advance of the i .
full meeting. i
The strike was opened April 23,
when union men failed to return for '
work in the afternoon. , There had
been negotiations between them and
the employ rs as to a new agreement,
that previously in effect having ex
pired April 1. The day preceding
the strike the employers issued a new
Bchedule, the base wages of 80 cents
an hour and $1.20 an hour overtime
being unchanged, but extra pay ot
10 cents an hour on certain commod
ities was cut off. : Trucking, done
before by longshoremen, was declared
separate from longshore work and a
scale of 70 cents an hour straight
time and $1.05 overtime fixed.
Accompanying the printed schedule
was a statement. announcing the em
ployers would open their own hall
May 1. The longshoremen's union
contended that while negotiations
were under way it was mutually un
derstood that the old agreement was
in effect, yet that the employers
ignored the union in making known
its new schedule and hall plans, sim
ply distributing notices among the
men individually.
The employers reported yesterday
there were 53 1 men at work on ships
in port and 50 more were awaiting
call. The strength of the longshore
men's union at the time of the strike
was said to be 600.
PORT FACTS TO BE GATHERED
Committee of Presidents' Council
Interviews Authorities."
First-hand facts about Portland's
shipping facilities were obtained last
evening by the committee of the pres
ident's council of civic organizations,
appointed recently to investigate con
ditions arisig out of the waterfront
strike and criticisms that the port
was not meeting the competition of
other ports. Thus far, the inve-stiga-tios
of the committee show that its
report will be optimistic.
Various key personalities having to
do with the community's interest in
its port have been interviewed by the
committee and the information thus
obtained will be submitted to the
president's council at its next meet
ing. Last night a dinner was held at
the Chamber of Commerce, with W. D.
B.-'Dobson, general manager of the
chamber: George B. Hegardt, dock
commission, and Harbormaster Speier
as guest of the committee, members
of which are Colonel J. J. Crossley of
