We need a distance tariff bill.” o Stands for Progressive Principles. Mr. Lee made it plain to his hear- ers that he stood for progressive prin- ciples. He mentioned the initiative, referendum and recall. He advocat- ed county option as the fundarental right of the people to decide the lig- uor question for themselves. He ad- vocated reapportionment showing by figures that the northern part of the state has never been equitably 1epre- sented. He advocated a new system of state land sales whereby the im- migrant can get on his land within two weeks instead of ~ waiting months. He pledged himself it elect- ed to “recommend a law which will give the people the right to vote on anything in which they are iuterest- ed.” Russell Praises La Follette. EVER in maritime history has there been a sadder scene than was witnessed Thurs- day night when the Cunard steawer Carpathia came to her dock at ber pier'in New York bearing the sur- vivors of the passengers and crew of the lost Titanic. Of these there were but a pitiful 662 left, or less than one- third of those aboard the world's grent. est “unsinkable” floating palace. Many of the survivors were {ll, some of them dangerously so, others were in a state of mnervous collapse from 'the shock, C.-A. Russell covered much of the same ground as covered in his speech here two weeks ago. He brougkt out the fact that La Follette measures in Wisconsin had the result of attract- ing capital instead of scaring it; that La Follette is the original progres- sive and can be depended upon; that with La Follette at the head cf our government backed by progressive men, the people of this country can hope for a throwing off of the yoke saddled on them for so long bv the special interests.

Miss Louisa Ludwig, Newark, N.

It has doane me great good by huild- ing up and_enabling me tn sleep soundly.” If you are worn out and weak and want new strength so you can eat well, sleep well, and be well, Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron rem- edy is what you need, and we guar- antee it to satisfy you.

Among them were newly made widows, while many, per- haps a majority, had been torn from loved ones in the last black hour be- fore the gigantic liner had gone down. Mrs, Candee’s Graphio Story. Mrs. Churchill Candee of Washing- ton gave the following account of the disaster: “I retired to my cabin shortly after 11 and had barely entered it when there were two terrific shocks, one im- mediately following the other. I was thrown to the floor and as soon as pos- alble ran out into the companionway. There I met some passengers and went up to the main deck. As we were pass- ing through the saloon a passenger ran through with a- cake of ice and called out, ‘Ice-—ice from the iceberg!” There 'was absolutely no excitement, and the matter was not regarded seriously, al- though steam was escaping from one of the smokestacks, the others appar- ently being silent. “The night was clear and cold, and it seemed incredible that anything seri- ous had happened. However, the or- der soon came to go down and put on heavy wraps and life preservers and return to the deck. We learned then that the entire bottom had dropped out of the ship and the fires. of at least three of the boilers had dropped into the ocean. The order soon came to take to the lifeboats. I was in one of the first that was lowered. There was 1o disorder or confusion, and all of the women and children passengers in the first, second and third eabin were treated alike. “The order was immediately given to launch the boats, and both on: the port and starboard sides the orders were carried out in an admirable man- mer. Only one collapsible boat was broken, but otherwise all the other lifeboats were safely launched. By the time the last boat cleared the ship "|she had sunk to the level of the second deck. Only two hours had elapsed. “She was settling fast at this time— bow down. At the last she was poised the bridge at the time of the accident and who was at the helm of our life- boat, said they were making full speed, and, although the night was clear, they had absolutely no idea of any danger. The first they knew of the proximity of the iceberg was when the crash came. They were under orders te make 540 knots. Early the next morn- ing we were taken up by the Carpa- thia.” 5 Saw No Evidence of Cowardice, “The crash came at 11:40,” said one woman. “The lights of the Titanic went out at 2:20 o’clock. I saw no evi- dences of cowardice.” “Women and children, frightened by the prospect of being set adrift upon the dark and ice strewn ocean, refused to.enter the lifeboats,” sald another of the rescued passengers. “Some of the boats were launched with only fifteen or twenty on board them, although they could have held seventy-five.” Passengers Shot by Officers. Mr. and Mrs. Washington Dodge of 8an Francisco declared that some of the passengers fought with such des- peration' to get into the lifeboats that the officers shot them and their bodies fell into the ocean. They said also that - they saw John Jacob Astor and Major Butt standing together on the Titanic’s deck and that they must have gone to death together. Mrs. Isidor Straus re- fused to leave her husband, they said. Many passengers agreed in the state- ment that 668 were rescued and that four died in the lifeboats and two died on board the Carpathia. One of the steerage passengers was buried at sea. Stories of all agreed that the Titanic struck the iceberg at 11:45 o’clock, that she sank at 2:25 and that theéy were picked up by the Carpathia at 4:30. Four Lifeboats Drawn Down. William Jones, a Titanic stoker, who manned one of the lifeboats, said he was 700 yards away when the vessel sank and that he saw four lifeboats filled with women drawn down. Two women in his boat died of exposure. Margaret Hayes of New York city sald: “When I was put into a life- boat I found a two-year-old baby, girl In my arms. I do not know who placed it there, nor who its mother is. I have been taking care of it ever since.” Daniel T. Bailey, who lives at the Marlborough hotel in New York city, said: “I was adrift alone on a raft for six hours. I saw a woman in night clothing near by, swam to her side and dragged her to the raft, She was unconscious and slipped off into the water and was drowned.” Mrs, VRegm_n Steinert of New York Monday morning, between 10 and 11 o'clock, he claims to have sent a wire- less message. In his statement Mr. Is- may sald: “In the presence and under the shad- ow of a catustrophe so overwhelming, my feelings are too deep for expres- sion in words. I can only say that the White Star line, its officers and em- ployees, will do everything humanly possible to alleviate the sufferings and BOTrOWS Of SUrvivors and or the reia- tives and friends of those who per- ished. The Titanic was the last word in shipbuilding. Every regulation pre- scribed by the British board of trade had been strictly complied with. The master, officers and crew were the most experienced and skillful in the British service. I am informed that a committee of the United States senate ‘was appointed to investigate the cir- cumstances of the accident. I heartily welcome the most complete and ex- baustive inquiry, and any aid that I or my associates, our builders or navi- gators, can render is at the service of the public and the governments of the United States and Great Britain. And under these circumstances I must re. spectfully defer making any state- ment at this hour.” Major Butt a Hero. One survivor asserts he saw Major Butt, ald to President Taft, play a hero’s part before he died. “An hour after the boat sank 1 hung on to a collapsible lifeboat for two hours and a half. -Then I was picked up,” said this man. A “The last thing I saw was a man they say was Major Butt standing on the forward deck that was already un- der water. ““He was holding back men who were fighting to get Into boats that were putting off with women.” First Woman Off Titanic. Mrs. Dickinson Bishop of Detroit, Mich,, sald: “I was the first woman in the first boat. I was in the boat four hours before being picked up by the Carpathia. I was in bed at the time the crash came and got up and dress- ed. 1 went back to bed upon being assured that there was no danger. On the deck, when I reached it, there 'was little or no panic.” 5 Told Ship Could Not Sink, N. C. Chambers said that the Titanic struck the iceberg head-on. The pas- sengers ran out, but being assured by the officers that the ship could not sink went back to their staterooms. After about two hours the alarm was sent out and the passengers started to enter the lifeboats. Mr. Chambers sald that there was nothing like a Copyright, ‘1912, by American Press Association, CARPATHIA AT HER DOCK LOWERING TITANIC'S LIFEBOATS. for about thirty seconds with her stern clear of the water, then slipped gradu- ally into oblivion, There was no suc- tlon whatéver when she went down, although: there were horrible sounds of explosions, cries, etc. Up to this time the action of the men had been very courageous. Last 8een of Colonel Astor. “Colonel Astor was last seen stand- Ing on the top deck: All women and children were taken off except those who refused to leave.

" All ‘were taken on board and passengers vied.with the crew in rendering aid. “The survivors were lying in the bot- -tom of the boats, all alive, but'the ma- Jority of them unconscious,” she said. “Many ‘were suffering terribly from the exposure, and many were already frozen. ‘That afternoon about twenty. of the survivors died, and. four were given burial &t sea immediately.” Statement by lsma; J.

Mrs. Astor Could Not Talk. Pale, trembling, and apparently ill, Mrs, John Jacob Astor was one of the first survivors of the wreck to pass down the Carpathia’s gapgplank. She Stepped from the Carpathia wearing a- long black astrakhan coat, a small toque covered by a blue chiffon veil, and at her throat reposed a large dia- mond and pear] sunburst.
