“Teaching is a business which re-

Many resort to stimulating tonics for
relief
“For 3 years I struggled against al-
most complete exhaustion getting
wbat relief I could from doctors' ton-
ics Then in tho spring of 1903 I
--had an attack of la grippe and ifca-

“First 1 noticed that I was not
hungry after meals
"In a few days that tired feeling left

“I finished the year’s work without

STEAMER TITANIC CRASHES INTO

GREATEST CCEAN DISASTER

ERS ARRIVE
Only 745 of the 2300 Persons Aboard

t Boats To Be Picked Up
by Carpathia
New York — How the White Star
liner Titanic the largest ship afloat
sank oft the Grand Banks of New
Foundland last Monday morning car-
rying to their death 1601 cf the 2304
persons aboard was told to the world
In all Its awful details for the first
time Thursday night with the arrival
In New York of the Cunard liner Car-
pathia bearing the exhausted sur-
vivors of the catastrophe -Of the
great facts that stand out from the ac-
count of the tragedy thoo are the
most salient:
The death list has Increased rather
than decreased Six persons died af-
ter being rescued The list of prom In-
net persons lost stands as previously
reported —
Practically every woman and child
with the exception of these who re-
fused to leave their husbands were
saved
Accounts vary as to the extent of
the disorder on board Not only was
the Titanic tearing through the night
to her doom w'lth every ounce of
steam crowded on hut she was under
orders from the general offices of tho
line to make all the speed of which
she was capable This was the state-
ment made by J H Moody a
quartermaster of the versel and he
said the ship was making 21 knots nn
hour and the officers were striving to
live up to the orders to smash the re-
cord MAJOR ARCHIBALD BUTT
Aide to President Taft who was lost
He was returning from Italy whither
he had gone to regain his health
"It was close to midnight" Bald
Moody “and I was on tho biidge with
the second officer who was In com-
mand Suddenly he shouted Tort
you helm!’ I did so but It was too
late Wo struck the submerged or
lion of the berg”
Mr Isinay gave out Iho follow in g
prepared statement on tho pier:
"In the pretence nnd under the
shadows of a catastrophe so over-
whelming niy feelings aro too deep for
expression In words I can only ray
that the Whito Star line oncers and
employes will do anythin? possible
to relieve the suffering and sorrow of
the relatives and frli ih!j of those who
perished The Titanic was the lust
word in ship building Every regu'a
tlon preserved In the Brltlrh board of
trade h:u! been strictly complied with
The master officers and crew were the
most experienced nnd skillful In the
British service I heartily w elec me the
most com 1 te end (xhiustivo In-
quiry and sny aid that 1 or my as-
sistants or our builders or navigators
can render la at the service of the pub-
lic and of the governments of both ths
Vr'ted States and Great Prttaln Un-
der these circumstances 1 must defer
making any further statement at this
hour"
Mr Ismay snld informally before
giving out his statement that bo left
the ship in tho last bent one of the
collapsable on the starboard sldo
”1 do not know the speed at which
the Titanic was going” he said -

Saved — Steamer Carpathia Arrives
In Time To Pick Up All Who
Took to Boats
Passengers Issue Statement
Cunard Pier New York April 18—
The following statement Issued by a
committee of the surviving passengers
was given the press on the arrival of
the Carpathia:
"We the undersigned surviving
passengers from’ the steamship Ti-
tanic in order to forestall any sensa-
tional or exaggerated statements deem
It our duty to give to the press a state-
ment ofTacts which have come to our
knowledge and which we believe to be
true
"On Sunday April 14 1912 at about
11:40 p m on a cold starlight night
In a smooth sea and with no moon the
ship struck an iceberg which had been
reported to the bridge lookouts hut
not early enough to avoid collision
Steps were takcu to ascertain the dam-
age and save passengers and ship Ord-
ers were given to put on life belts and
the boats were lowered The ship
sank at about 2:30 a m Monday and
the usual distress signals were sent
out by wireless and rockets fired at
Intervals from the ship Fortunately
the wireless message was received by
the Cunard steamship Carpathia at
about 12 o’clock Monday and she ar-
rived on the scene of the disaster at
about 4 a m Monday
“The officers and crew of the steam-
ship Carpathia had been preparing all
night for the rescue and comfort of
the survivors and the fast mentioned
were received on board with the most
touching care and kindness every at-
tention being given to all irrespective
of class The passengers officers and
crew gave up gladly their staterooms
clothing and comforts for our benefit
“The Knglish board of trade passen-
gers certified on board ie Titanic al-
lowed for a total of approximately 3-
600 The same certificate called for
life boat accommodation for approxi-
mately 950 In the following boats:
“Fourteen large life boats two
smaller boats and four collapsible
boats Life preservers were accessible
and apparently In sufficient number for
all on board
“The approximate number of pas-
sengers carried at the time of the
collision was:
"First class 330 Becond class 320
third class 750 total 1400 Officers
and crew 940 Total 2340 - Of the
foregoing about the following were
rescued by the steamship Carpathia:
“First class 210 second class 125
third class 200 officers 4 seamen 39
stewards 96 firemen 71 Total 210 of
the crew The total about 745 saved
was about SO percent of the maximum
capacity of the life boats
“We feel It our duty to call the at-
tention of the public to what we con-
sider the Inadequate supply of life
saving appliances provided for on mod-
ern passenger steamships and recom-
mend that Immediate steps be taken
to compel passenger steamers to carry
sufficient boats to accommodate the
maximum number of people carried
on board The following facta were
observed and should be considered In
this connection:
- “The Insufficiency of lifeboats rafts
etc lack of trained seamen to man
samep (Stockers stewards etc are
not efficient boat handlers) not
enough officers to carry out emergency
orders on the bridge and superintend
the launching and control of life boats
absence of searchlights
“The board of trade (British) rules
allow for entirely too many people W
ech boat to permit the same to bo'
properly handled On tho Titanic the
boat deck was about 73 feet above
water and consequently the passengers
were required to embark before low-
ering boats thus endangering the oper-
ation and preventing the taking on or
the maximum number tho bouts would
hold Boats at all times should be prop-
erly equipped with provisions water
lamps compasses lights etc Life
saving boat 'drills should be more fre-quent-and
thoroughly carried out and
officers should he armed at boat dr'lls
There should be greater redact 'on In
speed In fog and Ice as damage If
collision actually occurs is liable to be
lees In conclusion we suggest thnt
an International conference he called
to rqcommend the pcsage of Identical
laws providing for-the safety of all Rt
6ea and we urge the United gtntes
government to take the Initiative as
soon as possible”
Although the foregoing was given
ont as a signed statement by a com-
mittee of passengers their signatures
were omitted attendant upon the con-
fusion when the Carpathia docked
COL-GRACIE’S STATEMENT
Went Down With Vessel But Waa
Picked Up Later
CoL Grade U S A the last man
saved went down with the vessel but
was picked up He was met
by his daughter who had arrived from
Washington and his son-inlaw Paul
F Febricus Col Grade told a re-
markable story of his hardship and
denied emphatically the report that
there had been any panic on board
He praised In the highest terms the
behavior of both the passengers aud
crew and paid a high tribute to tho
heroism of the women passengers
"Mrs Isidor Strauss” he said “went
to her death because she would not de-
sert her husband'Although he pleaded
with her to take her place in the
boat she steadfastly refused and when
the ship settled at the head the two
were engulfed by the wave that swept
over the wreck” CoL Grade told of
how he was driven to the topmost
deck when the ship settled and was
the sole survivor after the wave that
swept her just before her final plunge
had passed
“I jumped with the wave" said ho
“just as I often have Jumped with the
breakers at the sea shore By great
good fortune I managed to grasp tho
brass railing on the deck above and
I bung on by might and main When
the ship plunged down I was forced
to let go and I was swirled around and
around for what Beemed to be Interm-
inable time Eventually I came to the
surface to find the sea a mass of
tangled wreckage
“When dawn broke there were
thirty of us on the raft standing knee
deep in the icy water and afraid to
move lest the cranky craft he over-
turned Several unfortunates benumb-
ed and half dead besought us to save
them and one or two made an effort
to reach us but we had to warn them
away Had we made any effort to
save them we all might have perished
“The hours that elapsed before we
were picked up by the Carpathia were
the longest and most terrible that I
ever spent Practically without and
sensation of feeling because of the Icy
water we were almost drooping from
fatigue We were afraid to turn
around to see whether we were seen
by passing crafts and when someone
who was facing stern passed the word
MRS JOHN JACOB ASTOR
Wife of the famous millionaire who
Is In delicate health She was among
the saved
that something that lookted like Ji
Bteamer was coming up one of the men
became hysterical - under the strain
The rest of us too were nearing the
breaking point"
“Before I retired” said Col Grade
“I had a long talk with CharleB G
Hays president of the Grand Trunk
railroad One of the last things Mr
Hays said was this:
“‘The White Star the Cunard and
the American-Hamburg lines nre giv-
ing their attention and Ingenuity In
leaving the other in luxurious ships
and In making speed records The
time will soon come when this will be
checked by some appalling drnster’
"Toor fellow a few hours later ho
was dead”
"The conduct of Col John Jacob
Astor was deserving of the highest
praise’’ Col Grade declared “The
millionaire New Yorker" he said
“devoted all Ills energy to sating his
young bride nee Miss Force of New
York who Is In delicate health
"Col Astor helped us In our efforts
to get her In the boat” snld Col
Grade "I lifted her Into the boat and
as she took her palce Col Astor re-
quested permission of the second of-
ficer to go w 1th her for her ov ii pro-
tect ion
“ ’No sir replied the officer ’not a
man shall go on a boat lin'd ih- wo-
men are all off" Col Astor then In-
quired the number of the bed vHdi
mas being lowered away and turned
to the work of clenrlng the other limits
and In reassuring the frightened and
nervoue women
