Crowded Countess of Rothes Helped With RowingAnother Surrendered Her Place to Sailor Accuse Men of Cowardice Special to The Washington Post I New Tork April 20 High tribute was I paid today to the bravery of the women i on the ill starred Titanic as she was sink I ing in the darkness off the Newfoundland i coast In narratives which followed the first disjointed and excited utterances I of the survivors the courageous be havlor of the women passengers stands out in bold relief 1 While men were going calmly to their death that the passengers less able to help themselves might live the women I old and young were setting a fine example of self sacrifice Many are the i pulse quickening tales which were told I today of the heroism of weaker passen gers One of the most conspicuous was about Miss Edith Evans of this city who cheer I fully gave up her life to save others when the officer in charge of the life boat in which she had taken refuge said it was overcrowded and that one person must leave it Without hesitation Miss Evans left the boat Ordered Men From Boat Another heroine was Mrs Frederick Kenyon of Southampton Conn Three men passengers were admitted to the lifeboat in which Mrs Kenyon was a passenger because they said they could work at the oars They soon discovered that they could not and Mrs Kenyon ordered them to leave the boat So sternly was the command uttered that all three did so and the sweeps were worked by women The Countess of Rothes is ill at the Ritz Carlton as a result of her experi enee Then were no men to work the sweeps on her boat so women sprang to the oars and kept the boat in motion She was worn out by her exertions I Thf touching story of the refusal of i Mrs Tsidor Straus wife of the aged phl lanthropist to desert her husband has already been told Only physical force got Mrs John Jacob Astor Mrs Walter tlark of Los Angeles and other women into the boats They clung to their husbands insisting that they would remain upon the ship In some cases husbands had to resort to ruses to get the women folks into the boats Mrs Joel Swift of this city is an i other woman who toiled at an oar for i four hours before her lifeboat was sighted I by the Carpathia Lives Saved by Womans Insistence Miss Marie Young showed her spirit by commanding officers in charge of the llfe boats to take on more passengers The men demurred saying that the boats i would be swamped but Miss Young finally won Wtr insistence saved many lives Another of the fine acts of sacrifice was performed by Miss Lillian Bentham of Rochester Her lifeboat was so crowded that a sailor who had been picked up had to sit with his feet dangling in the icy water Noticing his intense suffering the woman with great difficulty dragged thoman Into her place in the bottom of the boat and took his I seat with her own feet In the water Her feet as well as those of the sailor were i frozen Mrs Emily Richards who was journey i ing to meet her husband in Akron Ohio was a passenger in a lifelsoat that picked up seven men from the ice filled i water All seven were insane from exposure and while they gibbered and screamed in hysterical laughter they tried again and again to upset the boat Finally the sailor had to overcome them and tie them in the bottom of the boat I Mrs Richards sat upon one of the maniacs to keep him still Accuse Men of Cowardice East Orange April 20 Miss Cornelia Andrews of Hudson who was savefi from the Titanic today ac fused men passengers of cowardice by pretending to be able to handle oars 1 and thus get into lifeboats When we finally did get in the boat said Miss Andrews we found that these miserable men companions could not row at all One of them was a Chinese another was an Armenian Neither one of them had ever seen an oar before Finally I had to take an oar and help propel the boat Alongside of us was a sailor who lighted a cigarette and carelessly threw the match among us women Several women in the boat screamed fearing that they would be set on fire The sailor contemptuously retorted We are going to hell anyway and we might as well be burned now as then We were almost helpless and the words of that sailor added to the hor i rors Miss Andrews with her sister Mrs John Hogcboom also of Hudson are staying here with relatives Mrs Hogeboom took up the narrative here saying Before our boat was lowred they called to some miserable specimens of humanity and said Can you row and for the purpose of getting in they said yes1 But upon putting out they could not handle oars at all Then my niece Miss Longley took an oar and helrWI the sailor Two lifeboats near ours nvpr crowded with women and children were swampea and sank Hardly any of the boats were properly manned rm 3 tjrtr yg TELL HOW HEROES DIED Hibbs and Maj Winship Home With Titanic News Positive confirmation of the fate of Maj Archibald Butt and Clarence Moore and I details of the manner in which these heroes met their death were brought I to the friends and relatives of these men i in this city yesterday by Hibbs head of the banking and brokerage Ann with which Mr Moore was associated and Maj Blanton Winship who shared i Maj Butts home at 3000 street northwest Mr Hibbs and Maj Winship were at the pier in New York when the Car pathla bringing its cargo of rescued landed in that city Mr Hibbs how ever having gained admission to the steamer as soon as her gangplank was thrown out gathered more Information than did Maj Winship I left here Wednesday at midnight and met the senatorial investigating committee and Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel when that party reached New York said Mr Hibbs a few hour after his return yesterday morning With Senators Smith and Newlands and Sergeant at arms of the Senate Ransdell I went aboard the Carpathia as soon as she docked I talked with many of the rescued passengers but particularly with Mrs Helen Candee and Miss Marie Young with whom I was acquainted From every one got an account confirming the fact that both Maj Butts and Claren Mioores actions were just such as those acquainted with these men would expect from them under conditions such as they were called upon to face Mrs Candee and Mls Young told me that Maj Butt and Mr Moore helped them Into the boats in which they escaped Miss Young said that when her boat pulled away she saw Maj Butt Mr Moore and John Jacob Astor standing together on the deck This news answered one part of my inquiry namely that the Washington men had gone down with the Titanic The second part Was it probable thatj -THE THIRD AND LAST PUZZtl This Problem Is to Draw Circles in the Chart Each Circle Counts as Many Points as the Number of the Section in Which It Is Drawn The Problehi Is to Obtain the Greatest Number of Points Read the Conditions Carefully Also Note Privilege of Increasing Payments in This Contest zm Third Puzzle The third puzzle is a circle puzzle in which the circles must be drawn by contestants and the chart submitted to the Contest Manager Every circle counts as many points as the number of the section in which it is drawn The problem is to obtain the greatest number of points Those who accomplish this will be declared the winners The chart is a star with seven sections Each section is numbered Every circle in Section 1 counts one Every circle in Section 2 counts two Every circle in Section 4 counts four and so on Every circle in the center or Section 7 counts seven The best way to proceed is to draw as many circles in each section as you can themmulti pjy them by the number of that section Add the points you thus get together and that will give you the total number of points you have obtained In the event of a tie on the number of points before any division of a prize is resorted to under the general rules of the contest the contestants having the least number of circles in all seven sections or the complete star will be declared the winners Rules for Circles The circles must be as round as free hand drawing will rea sonably allow They are not ex pected to be as perfectly shaped as if drawn with an instrument however because no drawing instrument can be used to advantage in this proposition No circle shall intersect or touch another circle or be drawn within another circle No circle shall touchthe heavy black border forming the star or the light lines within the different sections The lighter lines are placed within the different sections to facilitate the work of verifying the charts You have nothing to do with them except to avoid them when drawing your circles Circles may be of any size or of different sizes provided they are completed and the white space in the center is plainly discernible If any chart is submitted wherein there is a circle CD 3 Cut Out the Chart and Blank From the Rest of This Announcement But Do Not Detach Blank From Chart This Chart Will Appear Twice Only 55 2 iS 3 2 a a 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 ti i H3 a

one circle to another it will be regarded as violating the rule against circles intersecting or touching each other For that reason a sharp pointed pencil is probably safer to use The number of circles drawn in each section of the star and the number of points they amount to must be inserted with all other information it calls for in the blank under the star No change can be made in either the chart or blank when once submitted Any error in stating the number of circles or points will disqualify the chart as a possible prize winner and no error can be rectified Submit all solutions in sealed envelopes whether they Ire accompanied by an additional subscription or not Local contestants must submit their charts by 9 oclock Thursday evening May 2 Those residing at a distance must submit them within eleven days from the date they received notification either through the paper or by circular Additional Payments Contestants who did not pay the full amount allowed in the preliminary contests will have the privilege of doing so in this If more than one answer was submitted in the first contest by dividing the number1 of solutions into the total amount paid contestants may ascertain what portion of the amount is subject to a dividend in case they win That portion if it has not already been increased in the second contest may now be iri creased to the full amount of 840 Or if it were increased in the second contest but not enough to reach the limit the balance may be paid now Contestants are requested to pay particular attention to that section in the blank where they are to insert what they have paid When any additional payments are made as here provided for such payments will not affect those who paid the larger amount in the first contest in case of an ultimate tie When you send more money write on envelope Solution and Subscription Charts if it is not practical to reproduce them in The Post may be examined by any contestant Address Solutions to Contest anager Washington Post Washington they may have been rescued by other means than the Carpathia was answered in yesterdays session of the investigating committee which I attended when it was brought out that such was not probable When asked as to the reports of suffering of the rescued Mr Hibbs said that the mental and physical suffering which the passengers had undergone while waiting to be rescued had not been exaggerated as far he could learn but that as soon as they were picked up everything possible had been done for them and those wjio landed In New York were loud in their praise of the Carpathias crew and passengers He also announced tha the reports of deaths on the rescue ship were in a great measure untrue as only oas deaih bad occurred MznyJ iRjj bodies he added had been picked up having expired from exposure In the icj waters Mr Hlbtte commended the manner in which the Titanics passengers were received In New York declaring that he had never witnessed more orderly procedure or well planned provision for the care of suffering Some of the women passengers he said were hysterical when landed but the majority possessed remarkable self control Immediately upon reaching Washington Mr Hibbs went to the iiome of Mr Moore and spent the morning with Mrs Moore She is as brave a woman as Clarence Moore was a man he remarked in commenting on the manner jn whtctt Mrs Afoor was bearing her grief Jie as taken charge of her husbands business affairs and is conducting them with as much ability as a man might display The children have also been brave In their trouble Clarence Moore was possessed of what might be termed a fortune He was a most careful business man and gave the closest attention to the minutest details leaving no loose ends His estate is in the best condition Maj Winship who went to New York Thursday returning yesterday morning whom I was acquainted but the persons whom I did question merely confirmed the statements which have been made about the way in which Maj Butt acted I could not find any one who remembered having seen Mr Millet when the boats left the ship He may have been in another part of the steamer from that In which Maj Butt and Mr Moore were working Probably he was aiding the steerage passengers I know the bully fellow that he was and I am confident that he was doing his part of the heroic announced that he gathered no informa work When I went to New York I had a have Informed tha eaptaln of the ship and he in turn might have forced my friend to help in manning the boats that brought the women and children from

my close friends Archie Butt and Frank Millet We had all lived together here I did not talk faint hope that I might find him among those who would leave the Titanic My hope was based on the fact that
