COL. THEO. ROOSEVELT
Who Received the Republican Prefer
ential Vote for President.
Early returns indicated that Rooso
velt had received tho republican presi
dential preferential endorsement by a
safe margin and that Clark had beat
Harmon and Wilson on tho democratic
ticket.
Governor Aldrlch will succeed him
self ob the republican nominee, hav
ing received about two votos to ono
over Nowton.
Corrections on the compilations
have reduced the total voto on repub
lican candidates for president some
what without changing relative posi
tions of the candidates. Nino hun
dred and thlrty-flvo precincts report
ing on republican president show that
Roosevelt has ten thousand jnoro votos
than both bis opponents, or thirty-two
thousand out of fifty-four thousand
votes.
Harmon maintains second place over
."Wilson in tho democratic race, with
Clark leading the democratic field
over threo thousand.
Morehead is about 2,300 ahead of
Metcalfe in tho race for governor.
Complete counties so far reported
show that Aldricb has been running
ahead of Newton about two to one.
The republican treasurer contest is
sot decided, but a compilation of a

Congressional Returns.
Owing to tho slow counting and tho
dllllcult compilation of tho heads of
tho ticket completo returns on con

this time llgures aro decidedly Incom

has received tho republican nomina

Threo sailors of the Titanic, who

"You know the Titanic Just crawled

Astor Is One of Heroes.
"The conduct of Col. John Jacob
Astor was deserving of the highest
praise," said Colonel Grade of tho
regular army, who narrowly escaped
drowning. "The millionaire Now
Yorker," he said, "devoted all his en
ergies to saving bis young brido, who
was In delicate health.
"Colonol Astor helped us In our ef

Green Lantern Saves Many.
Henry Stengel of Nowark said It
was only tho forethought of a member
of the boat crew who was quick-witted
enough to snatch up three green
lights that saved a number of tbo
lives of those adrift in the tiny llfe
bont. i
"These green lights," be said,
"shining through the darkness en
abled the other boats' crows to keep
close together In tho Ice filled wa
ters." Mr. Stengel put bis wife In a boat
and then followed. He said that early
tho next morning, shortly after they
bad been picked up, they saw floating
far away n gigantic iceberg, with two
peaks shining In tbo morning sun.
This was tho berg that sent the Ti
tanic to tho bottom, he thought.
Jumped Into 8ea; Picked Up.
E. Z. Taylor or Philadelphia, one ot
tbo survivors, Jumped Into tho sea just
threo minutes before the boat sank.
Ho told a graphic story as he came
from the Carpathla.
"I was eating whon the boat struck
tno iceberg," be said. "There was an
awful shock that mode the boat trem
blo from stem to stern. I did not rea
lize for some time what had hap
pened. No one seemed to know the
extent or the accident. We were told
that an lcoberg had been struck by
tho ship.
"I felt the boat rise and It seemed
to me that It was riding over tho ice.
I ran out on deck and thon I could
see tho Ice. It was a veritable sea of
Ice and the boat was rocking over It.
I should say that parts of the Iceberg
were eighty feet high, but It had been
broken Into sections, probably by our
ship.
"I Jumped Into tho ocean and was
picked up by one of the boats. I
never expected to see land again. 1
waited on board tho boat until the
lights went out. It seemed to me that
the discipline on board was wonder
ful." Insurance Man Is Dead.
