V., who Were returning in the Titanic from their wedding trip to Europe. Harderis the one male member of eleven "honeymoon couples" who was saved. Facing Mr. and Mrs. Harder, with her head on her hands and weep-ing is Mrs. Charles M. Hays, whose husband, Charles M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk railway, Went down with the Titanic whileshe and their two daughters were rescued. The three survivors were talking over their awful experiences when they were photographed. Mr.and Mrs. Harder were in the concert room listening to the music when the Titanic struck the iceberg. When the cry came to get into the life-boats they, as a lark an d n°l realizing that there Was any real danger, jumped into the first boat that Was lowered.

BY FALL INCELLRecognizes His Friends and

Treats His Imprisonmentas a Joke

[Special Dispatch io The Call]STOCKTON*. April 23. ?William A.

Dorr has the local officers puzzled. The

Stockton motorcycle dealer, who is

charged with murdering George Marsh.

the millionaire soap manufacturer of

Lynn. Mass., fell in his cell today and

struck his head on the cement floor.His mind appeared to become clear in

a flash. He leaped to his feet, greeted

jailers and friends, whom he had re-fused to rceogniz" before, and then

asked the officers what kind of a joke

they were attempting to play on him.When he found that he' was impris-

oned in a cell with his old friend, Zol-lie Clements, the bandit who has e«>n-

fessed to a 10 year career of crime andmurder, he declared that the joke hadgone too far and that he wanted to gohome.

Dorr's mind seems to have remaineda blank since March 14, the day of his

mytserious disappearance from Stock-ton. That day he claims to have at-tempted to separate two men who werefighting on the Stockton water front.

He asserts that he remembers nothing

from that moment until he found him-self in jail. When told that he was ac-cused of murder Dorr Immediately de-manded that Attorney O. B. Parkinsonbe sent to him.

Supervisor Tretheway, who was anold friend of Dorr's, visited the jail to-day In another attempt to gain recog-

nition from Dorr. Jailers McAllisterand Owen ordered Dorr to the door of

his cell. The accused murderer had

been complaining of violent pains in

his head and spine and appeared weak.

After deciding to take this step, thepresident called up all his cabinet of-ficers for letters, memorandum andrecords concerning certain of the actsof the former president. These weredelivered to him without delay. Hecanceled all engagements, stayed in thelibrary of the white house and digested

them.At 8 o'clock ton.lght he summoned to

Mexican troops, crossed the interna-tional boundary line near Campo. southof San Diego, late yesterday afternoon.In a ravine on the American side the

ICE FLOES ALSO ASOURCE OF REFUGE

[Special Dispatch to The Call]

HALIFAX.N. S., April 23.?Out ofthe depths conies a ray of hope thatall now missing from the Titanic's listof living made up before it sailed fromSouthampton are not lost beyond re-

call. More may be saved to add to thesurvivors brought to New York by theCarpathia. Some may have beenpicked up after hours or days on float-ing wreckage, or shivering, huggingclose to life on icefloe or berg. Thisis the opinion of Captain Robert \\ .MacKenzie, a well known master ofSt. Johns, who scouts the idea that allthose not already accounted for arenecessarily tread.

Captain MacKenzie is in Halifaxjust now. one of the most interested inthe work being done to scour thewaters off the banks for floatingbodies and return them to land forburial. He has raised new hopes by

his assurances that there are manyways in which the passengers andsailors left aboard the liner when shewas abandoned may still be saved.

Cries Not Dimmed by DeathThe captain puts stress on the testi-

mony given that for an hour after tlieship sank cries for help were heard bythe people in the lifeboats, cries grow-ing fainter and fainter as the littieflotilla rode together against the tide,keeping as far as possible in the trackof the masthead lights which the thirdofficer had noted?the lights of theship which heard the pathetic crackleof the wireless flash, but ignored itand held on her course. The increas-ing faintness of these cries, Captain

MacKenzie points out. is not neces-sarily a sign that those who were call-ing for help were growing weaker andweaker until their voices became stillin death.Tide May Have Aided

The survivor? were drifting with thetide, which was bearing them fartherand farther away from the boats, outof the track of the liners, but into thepath of the tramp steamers and sailingcraft. The drift of the stream, the cap-

tain believes, would take them at aspeed of from three to five knots anhour, and he is convinced that strong
