TALES OF SURVIVORS Full Speed Ahead Ordered by Captain Turner in Vain Hope He Could Reach Queenstown. Queenstown, May 8.

3:55 p.m. A cabin steward of the Lusitania today gave the following account of the sinking of the vessel: "The passengers, a large number of whom were seriously injured by the explosion of the torpedoes and by splinters from the wreckage; were all at luncheon. The weather wag beau tifully clear and calm. We were going about 16 knots and were seven or eight miles south of Galleyhead when we were struck by one torpedo, and in a minute or two afterward, by two more. The first explosion staggered us and the other finished us.

shattering the gigantic ship. The Lusitania disappeared forever in twenty minutes after the first torpedo struck. "It was a terrible sight, but the pas sengers were surprisingly cool. Nearly all the first class passengers were drowned. Most of those saved were second and third class passengers.

"We did not get a moment's notice from the submarine. It appeared sud denly above the surface, on our starboard bow, and discharged a torpedo at us. The submarine disappeared as suddenly as it came into view. "We saw the track the torpedo made in the water, and we got it fairly amidships. The Lusitania listed forward and started to settle.

Then the submarine discharged two mote torpedoes, which also struck us, and our ship sank in twenty minutes. "After the submarine dived It was not seen again. It went off after accomplishing its work and did not attempt to save men, women or children, but left them drown like rats in a trap when the great ship sank like a etone. "The scene was a frightful one as the ship went down. A great many persons were carried down at once by the suction of the big vessel.

"About a hundred persons jumped overboard and clung to floating wreckage -or upturned boats which Were blown off the ship by the explosion. "One of the cabin passengers, a Greek woman, was rescued after swimming a long distance in a sweater and trousers lent to her by a She fears her husband was drowned, as he could not swim." Young Naval Cadet a Hero. W. G. B.

Meyers, of Stratford, Ontario, a lad of 16 years, who was on his way to join the British Navy as a cadet, said: "I had Just gone to the upper deck after lunch to play a game of quoits with two other boys. One of them, looking over the Bide, saw a white streak in the water and shouted: 'There's a torpedo coming straight at We watched it until it struck us with an awful explosion. Then we rushed down to the boat deck. Just as we got there a huge quantity of wood splinters and great masses of water flew all around us. "A second torpedo struck us about four minutes after the first.

I went to get a lifebelt and met a woman who was frenzied with fear. I tried to calm her and helped her into a boat. Then I saw a boat which was nearly swamped. I got into it and with other men baled It out. Then a crowd of men clambered Into it and nearly swamped It.

"We got only 200 yards away when the Lusitania sank, her bow first. Many persons sank with her, drawn down by the suction. Their shrieks were appalling. We had to pull hard to get away, and, as it was, we were almost dragged down. We saved all the women and children we could, but a great many of them went down." William Brown of Alaska, another of the survivors to reach here, said he decided not to Join the rush for the boats.

"I came to the conclusion that a lifebelt was the thing for me," he said, "bo I went to my cabin and secured one. With it on I slid down a ONE OF BROOKLYNITES SAVED IN DISASTER )K Robert Ewart. i t. li i VV-k mm SAVED CAPT. TURNER Lusitania's Commander Clung to for Nearly Two Hours.

RESCUED BY ONE OF HIS CREW. Displays Great Grief Over Loss of Vessel "Fortune of War," He Says. Queenstown. May 8 Captain Turner, commander of the Lusttanla, has refused, so far, to make any formal statement. His first remark on landing was one of quiet irony.

"Well," he said, "it is the fortune of war. The captain secluded himself during me nignt In apartments over the town bank, but was able to be about today in uniform. He displayed great grief over the loss of his vessel but has expressed no opinion on the action of the Germans. Captain Turner remained on the Lusitania's bridge until the structure was submerged, and then climbed up a ladder, as would a diver from a tank. When be reached the surface, he grasped an oar and then a chair.

He clung to tbe chair for nearly two hours, and finally when the chair turned over, he flung up a gold-braided arm. This was seen by a member of the crew in one ot the boats, and thus tbe commander was saved. He was terribly broken down when be landed Friday evening, but after a strong cup of tea and a short rest, be seemed to recover, and appeared to be nearly normal today. None of the survivors baa any complaint to make regarding the actions of the crew. All agree that everything possible was done under the circumstances.

The first train loaded with survivors left Queenstown this afternoon en route to London. MRS. CARMAN FREE; JURY ACQUITS HER (Continued From Page 1.) Carman, find her innocent The District Attorney, Lewis J. Smith, had made a masterly summing up speech and had evidently made a deep Impression upon the jury, but when Justice Blackmare charged them that they must base their entire findings on the truth or falsity of Celia Coleman's evidence, it became clear that they felt there was at least "a reasonable doubt" and the unanimous verdict on the first ballot was the result. Mr.

Smith refused to comment upon "the verdict, and so did Justice Black-mar. The Jury also refused to say anything about their findings and Peter Rohrback the foreman insisted that they had all decided to discuss the case with no one. For that reason he would not explain his ballot and not one of the other eleven men would say why he had voted to acquit Mr. Carman. Mrs.

Carman Happy Over Acquittal. But with the latter it was different. In the warden's office, Just before her husband's automobile took her to Freeport, she said: "I am so happy I do not know what to do. I had no doubt of the Jurors the moment the State began to put in its testimony. I think the Judge's charge waa very fine and I knew the Jury could never convict me after it.

"It is all over now as far as I am concerned. Dr. Carman and I are going to do nothing more to help find the murderer of Mrs. Bailey. It makes me very happy, particularly so because I could not enjoy myself last winter with all this trouble seething through my mind.

Now I am free and I can do as I please. "During the trial I waa not as calm as I appeared at the last trial because then I failed to convince two jurors. I was very nervous at the end of the trial as the prosecution got in telling blows, but I knew they would not convict." "How do you feel toward Celia?" she was asked. "I have no feeling against her. She is weak and probably she has told that story so many times that she believes it herself.

I do not believe Celia is vicious." "Are you going into vaudeville or into moving pictures?" she was asked, in reference to a rumor that was going around the court house during the afternoon. "This is the first time I have ever heard it." "How are you going to pay me the $40,000 you owe me?" asked Mr. Levy. "Is that what It is?" queried Mrs. Carman.

"Yes," replied her attorney; then turning to the reporters, he said. "Mrs. Carman Is broke, Dr. Carman Is broke, and I am broke. We have not decided what Mrs.

Carman will do, but if any startling offer comes we cannot tell what we will do." Dr. Carman and Mrs. Carman will go to Raven Rock, N. for a rest on Monday or Tuesday, but after that their plans have not been made. The Doctor said that he would probably continue his practice in Freeport.

William D. Bailey was not as well pleased with the verdict as were the Carman family. "The Identity of the slayer of my wife is known to us," he said. "There is no doubt in my mind, or in my family's minds that Mrs. Carman shot my wife.

I think the public believes she is guilty. She has had a legal acquittal, but morally she has not been exonerated or vindicated." LONEYS, LONG ISLANDERS, LUSITANIA PASSENGERS Mr. and Mrs. Allan D. Loney and their daughter Virginia were among the Long Islanders who took passage on the Lusitania.

Th'ey have been frequent visitors to Mrs. Loney's brother, George McKesson Brown, whose estate is one of the show places of Huntington and had recently made their home In Huntington. Mrs. Loney and Miss Virginia Loney are among those who have been saved. No encouragement that Mr.

Loney may be among the survivors has resulted from many cable messages Mr. Brown sent yesterday, Mr. Loney had been In the war tone In Paris and Belgium, and was In charge of the Ambrose Cross Hospital. He returned a short time ago, In order that he might take to Europe his wife and daughter, who were anxious to Rid In caring for the wounded 9ldir. I Sea Tragedies Eliminate Heads of Two Noted Families in Three Years.

EACH WAS TWICE MARRIED. Astor Died a Hero Friends of Van-derbilt Await Story of His Last Momenta. Sea tragedies have eliminated the heads of two noted American families in the' last two years. When the Lusitania went down off the coast of Ireland on Friday, she carried Alfred G. Vanderbllt to his death, according to present advices.

The Titanic, after colliding with an iceberg about three years ago, became the sarcophagus of John Jacob Astor. The two disasters, one an accident, the other supposedly planned, ended the lives of more than 3,000 persons. The Titanic took William T. Stead down with her and with the Lusitania Elbert Hubbard was lost, and in both cases men of wealth and literary attainments died like poor and uneducated in the steerage. Alfred G.

Vanderbllt became the head of his family after his father's death, his elder brother, Cornelius, having been eliminated because he married a woman the father disliked. Thus Alfred Gwynne Vanderbllt was made heir to' some $70,000,000. Cornelius had been bequeathed a million dollars and when he threatened to contest the will Alfred gave him six millions more. Both Astor and Vanderbllt were of the set that has been described as "America's Money Dynasty." In both families the tradition of "keeping the money in the family was most care fully observed. And both families sought to do much good with their ac-cumluated millions.

It was said of Colonel Astor that he was a man and a hero at the brink of death, helping women and children to safety and calmly accepting his fate because the life-saving devices were already taxed to capaoity long before his turn would come. Friends of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbllt said yesterday that the story of his death, when it is told authentically, will prove him to be as great a hero as was Colonel Astor. Vanderbllt Waa Insured for $1,500,000 Young Vanderbllt, 86 years of age. had an impulsive nature and many original ideas. How he came to insure his own life for $1,500,000 is a story that reveals his impulsiveness.

The story goes that Just after he reached his majority he walked into the office of the Mutual Life Insur ance Company of New York and told one of its omcers that as he intended to take an ocean voyage it might be a good thing to take out a little insurance. The official suggested $100,000 but young Vanderbllt thought that a II, 500,000 policy would be more suita ble and then and there Wrote out his check for the first year's premium. Thus he became, aside from King Edward, who then was Prince of Wales, the most heavily Insured man in the world. Colonel Astor- and Mr. Vanderbllt both had two matrimonial ventures.

Each had two sons, one by each wife. Vinoent.i Astor was the child of the Colonel's first marriage and John Jacob Astor Jr. was the child of the second marriage, being born after his father lost his life in the Titanic dis aster. Alfred G. Vanderbilfs heir, William Henry Vanderbllt, is the child of the first marriage, with Miss Helen French.

He is 13 years of age. xne divorce courts ended that union, and Mrs. Agnes Ruiz, a London woman, whose name was mentioned, commit ted suicide. Alfred married Mrs. Smith Holllns McKIm in December of 1911.

Alfred Gwynne Vanderbllt Jr. is the child of this second union. Like other millionaires who have stepped into ready made fortunes, Al fred G. vanderbllt was very fond of outdoor sports and his English coaching line from London to Brighton Interested the whole world In his efforts to revive the old era of the "stage coach." When the European war broke out Vanderbllt happened to be in Italy. He had no actual cash with him and was unable to cash his check, backed by $70,000,000.

The American Ambassador rescued him. ELBERT HUBBARD PARDONED BY' WILSON JUST BEFORE HE SAILED ON LUSITANIA Washington, May 8 Elbert Hub bard, the writer, believed to have been lost on the Lusitania, obtained a pardon from President Wilson Just before sailing ior Europe, it was learned today, In order to have his civil rights restored and thus obtain a passport. Hubbard pleaded guilty in Buffalo, N. to a charge of misuse of the mails in 1913, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $100. The matter objected to appeared in Hubbard's Magazine.

The conviction automatically deprived him of the rights of citizen ship, and President Taft denied him a pardon the same year on the ground that his petition was premature. Last month Hubbard called at tne White House and told Secretary Tumulty that he wanted to go to Europe to write about the war and pointed out that he could not obtain an American passport because of the conviction hanging over him. The matter was immediately taken up with Attorney General Gregory and the pardon was signed by the President. WOMAN TAKES MERCURY. Despondency Over Illness Is Blamed For Mrs.

Fowler's Act. Mrs. Netta Fowler, 43 years old, of 320 Fifth street, attempted suicide In Prospect Park yesterday afternoon by swallowing four tablets of bichloride of mercury. She was found by her sister-in-law, Mrs. Hannah Winkle-man, lying on the ground in the rear of the Mansion.

Mrs. Winkleman sent In a call for an ambulance and had her removed to the Holy Family Hospital, where it was said last night that her condition was serious. Despondency over an Illness her physicians told her was Incurable waa the cause of her act. AUTO TRUCK HITS CAR.

He had put his wife into a lifeboat and in epite of her urging he refused to accompany her, saying that the women and children must go first. After the boat with his wife in it had pulled away the husband put on a lifebelt, lipped into the water, and floated until he was picked up. Clergyman Clung to Upturned Boat. The Rev. H.

W. Simpson, a passenger in the second cabin; saved himself by clinging to an upturned boat. "After a struggle we filled this boat with all we could rescue," Dr. Simpson said to'day. "We tied a pair of trousers to an oar and hoisted it as a signal of distress.

A big trawler came along and took us aboard. "When we were struck I was in the saloon. Life belts were handed around. but the people did not want to put them on, and they rushed off to the deck just as they were." Julian De Avala, Consul General for Cuba at Liverpool, said that he was ill in his berth when the Lusitania was torpedoed. He was thrown against the partition of his berth bv the explosion and suffered an injury to his head and naa nesn torn off one of his legs.

The boat Mr. De Avala got into cap sized, and he was thrown into the water, but later was picked up. Says Captain Thought He Could Reach Queenstown. The Lusitania. Mr.

De Avala said, had a heavy list to port before she sank, and great difficulty was experi enced in getting out the lifeboats. Captain Turner thought he could bring the crippled vessel into Queenstown, but she rapidly commenced to sink by the head. "Her stern went up so high," Mr. De Avala added, "that we could see all of her propeller. And she went down with a headlong plunge, volumes of steam hissing from her funnels." F.

J. Gauntlctt Tells of Difficulty Launching Boats. Cork, May 8 "From the day we sailed we complacently spoke of the possibilities of the German menace, but no one believed it, for we scorned the idea of being torpedoed," said F. J. Gauntlett, of Washington, who was traveling with A.

L. Hopkins Among the missing and S. M. Knox, of Philadelphia, who was saved. A number of us were going over on business.

It was shortly after 2 o'clock probably 10 minutes past and I was lingering in the dining sa loon chatting with my friends, when the first explosion occurred. We Knew at once what had happened. Shortly the ship listed perceptibly. I shouted to the Others to close the ports. Some of us went to our berths and put on lifebelts.

On making our way to the deck, we were informed that there was no danger and we need not be alarmed, but the ship was gradually sinking deeper into the water, and efforts were made to launch the boats. "Fifty or more people entered the first boat. And as it swung from the davits It fell suddenly. I think most of the occupants perished. Other boats were launched with the great est difficulty.

'iswlnging free from one of them as it descended, I struck out, swimming strongly and steadily for a piece or wreckage which 1 observed. On reaching it I found it was one of the collapsible boats, but I had to rip the canvas with a knife before I could get it open. Another passenger climbed into, and between us we were able to get about thirty people out of the water. While we were thus engaged, I noticed that the Lusitania was gradually sinking. Women and Children Go Down With Ship.

'Women and children under the protection of men had clustered in lines on the port side, and as the ship made her plunge, down a little by the head and heeling at an angle of nearly 90 degrees, this' little army slid down towards the starboard side, dashing themselves against each other as they went, until they were engulfed. Mr. Gauntlett said that he heard only one explosion, and the whole tragedy was over in twenty minutes. NAVY AVIATOR KILLED Ensign Stolz Falls Out of Machine at Pensacola.

Miss Waters Is a graduate of St. Mary's Hospital Training School and was on her way to Join a corps of nurses in the war zone.

-G. W. Higgins, a relative of Miss Waters, said last night that no word had. been received from her. Miss Waters is a native of Ireland but Viae been living in Brooklyn for several years.

Another cablegram was received last night by the parents of Wallace B. Phillips, the young business man wt was rescued from the Lusitania and who is now at Queenstown. Henry VJ. Phillips of 29 Lefferts place, father of young Mr. Phillips, said last night that the cablegram merely reiterated that he was well and would proceed to London, where his business would take him.

The message inquired as to the health ot his mother, who, he thought, might be made ill by the shock. Joseph Alston Was on Way Home. Word was received this afternoon that Joseph Alston of 261 Sixty-second street, a second cabin passenger on the Lusitania, has been saved, and is at Queenstown. His brother, William Alston, of the same address, received the following cablegram at 2:30 p.m. today: "Safe at Queenstown Joseph Alston." The message was dated 8:15 a.m.

and was the first word that Alston's relatives had heard since he left New York. Alston was 19 years of age and hart been in this country for four years, all of the time in Brooklyn. His reason for taking passageo this particular trip was that a suit which he had brought against the Morse Dry Dock and Repair Company for the loss of the third finger of his left lost while he was employed by the company last November, had just come to a successful conclusion, and he had received an award of $1,000. He at once engaged passage on the ship; Intending to return to his native town, Blaydon-on-Tyne, to work In the machine Bhops there. The loss of the finger, his brother said, would probably make him Ineligible for military service, though the boy wished to Before he decided to return to England Alston was employed as hammer man at the Dukeshire Iron Works, Twenty-fourth street and Third avenue, Brooklyn.

His sister-in-law, Mrs. Emma Alston, was intending to return to England for a visit on the next passage of the Lusitania, with her two children, Maud, 3 years old, and May, 1 year old.

On hearing the news she collapsed. Preparations were made to call off the performance, but before that was done she revived and was persuaded to go on. Few of the audience knew the cause of the delay. In. the first act of "Quality Street" she appeared with eyes still tear-stained, and her voice broke repeatedly in the opening scenes.

At the close, she refused to see anyone and drove straight to her private car, the location of which had been kept secret during her stay here. Through her manager. W. G. Newman, Miss Adams denied the rumors that she was married to Mr.

Frohban. "Of course," Mr. Newman said, "a warm affection had sprung up between them during the years they had been associated with each other, and the fact that neither had ever married no doubt gave rise to the absurd reports."

Liverpool, May 8, 5:46 p.m. Rum-ford street in front of the Cunard offices has been filled all day by a half-stupefied crowd of relatives of members of the Lusitania's crew. Inside the offices relatives and friends of the first and second class passengers moved to and fro in mourful quest of official information. A. C.

Luck, an American, watched the bulletin board all riay long for tidings of his wife and two toys, Eld-ridge and Kenneth, aged 7 and i0.

Relief Funds Started in London. London, May 8 (3:23 p.m.) Relief funds for the Lusitania sufferer3 have started. Captain A. Castle, accompanied by Captain Miller, American military attaches, have left here for Queenstown to aid the survivors.

Members of Lloyd's said today they did not believe the sinking of the Lusitania would affect shipping, and declared that sailings would continue as usual. The London Standard has received a dispatch from Queenstown saying that when the German torpedoes exploded inside the Lusitania they emitted suffocating and sickly fumes, which stupified many of the passengers. The Star has a dispatch from Dublin saying it seems to have been established that more than one submarine took part in the attack on the Lusitania. The ship is said to have been bit on both the starboard and port side. The missiles killed many on board.

Among the dead brought in is a young stoker who took part in the naval fight off the Falkland Islands. A news dispatch from Queenstown 1o the Central News says: Bodies of Young American Women A ait Identification. "It now appears clear that a majority of the Lusitania victims are to be found among the first class passengers and crew. Queenstown impresses one today as a vast morgue. One hundred and fifty-nine bodies have been recovered.

Some are laid out in the Market Hall, and others remain at the Cunard wharf, the Military Mortuary and elsewhere. The bodies of several young American women of handsome appearance are among those awaiting identification at the market hall. Some of them are wearing wrist watches which stopped at about 3 o'clock. "The spectacle at the market hall is poignant beyond expression. Most of the bodies there are of women.

Some of them are without shoes, and others are wearing only one shoe, evidence of a hurried attempt to free themselves of hampering attire. "The victims are being identified by moans of letters and valuables. Kach body, as it is received, is numbered and reverently laid on a platform.

Queenstown, May 8, 6:55 p.m.: The body of Dr.

F. S. Pearson of New York and Lowell, was identified in one of the morgues here this evening. It is now regarded as virtually certain that all of the most prominent persons aboard the Lusitania perished. The liner listed so perilously to starboard after the ilrst great inrush of water that all but two boats on the port side were jammed.

The first boat launched was almost filled with children, with whom were a few women. It capsized as it struck the water and all were swept away, although two stokers gave their lives in attempting to save some of them. One hundred and seventeen stewards I and stewardesses of the ship's com-I piement of 41 ti were saved. I Marine Superintendent Dodd of the I Cunard line said today that the Lusi- tania sank in 60 fathoms of water and would never be raised. Mr.

Dodd came to Queenstown this afternoon to arrange for special trains for the survivors. Bel loves Group of Submarines Attacked Liner nt Once. Mr. Dodd said he believed a group of submarines. at'Ung in concert, sank! the liner, as she probably could have' evaded one.
