SINKING SHIP S SIGNALS IGNORED LEYLAND LNIER SAID TO HAVE BEEN NEAR WHEN TITANIC WENT DOWN SAILOR DECLARES HE SAW ROCKETS Vessel Few Miles Away, Stopped And Remained Stationery For Three Hours Story Corroborated WASHINGTON, April 26. Sworn testimony going far to show that not a slnglo life need have been lost when the Titanic went down had not a passing liner ignored the distress signals and rockets of the dying lin er, was given today before the Unit ed States senate Investigating com mittee, which is probing the great sea horror. Two seamen, one from the Titanic and one from the Leyland liner California, told the story. They agreed absolutely that a great ship passed the crippled Titanic at a time when moments meant lives and that the rockets sent up by the great ship went absolutely unheeded though the other vessel was a Bcant score of miles away or less. Ernest Gill, a donkeyman, aboard the CaUfornian swore that from its deck he plainly saw the Titanlc's roc kets and declared that the whole crew commented on the fact that the Californian's wireless operator was allawed to sleep when it was plain a vessel in distress was near. Gill's testimony was given strength .by evidence given before Senator Fletcher by John Buley, a seaman survivor of the Titanic. Buley de clared: "A ship was near when the Titanic struck and passed by us. We thought it was coming to us. If It had done so we should all have been saved. The vessel, which was only about three miles away, had all her lights burning. It couldn't have helped see ing ou rockets. Iu fact, the ship was close enough to see the Titanic her self. I saw her from the Titanic's deck. We told the passengers "there Is a steamer coming to our assist ance." 1 think that's what kept them quiet "The vessel came bow on, then stopped and remained stationary for three tours off our port side. When we got in the boats we started for her but she went by us. Positively it was a boat It must have been. It was too low for a star. We thought it was coming to get us." Buley's story was partially corrob orated by George Rowe, quartermast er nf fro Titnnic and Frank Osman, a seaman, who testified before Sena tor Burton. Both of them, however, thought the vessel was a sailing ship. Setbacks for the story came, how- avar in thn testimony of Captain Stanley Lord and Wireless Operator Evans of the Calirornian. iora uw clared that Gill's statement of what ho ni from the decks of the CaU fornian was absolutely false. GIVEN BY TITANIC ERROR OF OPERATORS AND ICE PREVENTED SHIP GOING TO RESCUE ANOTHER STEAMER SEEN NEAR WRECK Captain of Mount Temple Denounces As "Most Unwise" Action Of Commander Of Big Liner WASHINGTON, April 27. Failure to give ber exact position, a great field of floating ice that offered a frigid barrier to ships hurrying to the rescue and the mistake of her capt ain in niBhing at top speed through an ice-covered sea combined to send the Titanic and her 1800 victims to their watery grave In the North At lantic according to testimony today before the Senate committee investi gating the ocean tragedy. Captain James H. Moore, of the steamer Mount Temple, which hur ried to the Titanic in response to wireless callB for help, told of the great stretch of field ice which held him off. Within his view from the bridge he discerned, he said, another strange steamer, probably a "tramp" and a schooner which was making her way out of the ice, Captain Moore denounced as "most unwise" the action of the Titanic's commander in rushing at 21 knots through the night, when he had been advised of the Ice. The Mount Tem ple's commander testified that he had spent 27 years in the North Atlantic. Whenever Ice was found, he said, he doubled his watch and reduced his speed. If he happened to get caught in an ice pack he stopped his engines and drifted until he was clear. The witness was also emphatic In his assertion that the position sent out by the Titanic was wrong. He said the ship was eight miles further eastward than its operators report ed. This, he said, be proved by ob servations the first thing on the day following the disaster.

Far malee Herrick. son of tho new am bassadoi, Myron T. Herrick, of Ohio, was responsible for the changlug of plans. Bacon had booked his pas sage for himself, wife and daughter on the Titnnlc and had actually sent part of their baggage aboard. Par malee Herrick and wife visited the embassy and agreed to dine with tho Bacons on the eve of their depart ure. I wish I could greet my friend Her rick bsiore I go," said Bacon. " Fath er wlsnes the Bame," said Parmaleo llerrlcic. "Why not stay and see him?" It would take too much tronuble unless your father is coming here direct," said Bacon. "You know this house now belongs to htm." 'Oh, bother trouble,' said the young er Herrick. "Father is good natured, and If that Is all the excuse you have, dad will never pardon you for leav ing" "But precedent necessitates my va cating before the arrival of my suc cessor." insisted Bacon, "and in dip lomacy precedent is all powerful." "But father would say 'darn pre cedent in this Instance,' said Parma lee. Bacon finally agreed to smnsn the precedent As a result he cancelled his booking on the Titanic, had his baggage removed, remained to ex change greetings with Ambassador Herrick and Is now enroute to Amer ica on the new French liner LaFrance OF SHIPWRECK EARLY WASHINGTON, April 30. When the Senate committee investigating the Ti'tinlc disaster resumed its hear ing today, Senator Burton announced he had eaxmlned Fourth Otlicer Box ball last night and had learned from that offli-er that J. W. Andrews, build er of the Titanic, who went down with the ship, told Captain Smith aft er the collision that the boat would sink within an hour. Andrews bad gone over the ship Immediately after the crash and dis covered that her hull bad been rip ped open. E. J. Dunn, an Importer of New York, the first witness, said that a day or so ago a friend told of the receipt of the Western Union Tele graph Company of a wireless message which was transmitted to "Islefrank" between 7:20 and 8 o'clock Monday morning. The code address Is that of P. A. S. Franklin, vice-president of the International Mercantile Marine. The message, the witness saia ne was In fnrmprf told of the Titanic dis aster, uews of which was not made public by the White Star line until 12 hours later. "What's was your informants name?" asked Senator Smith. "I can t tell you," replied Dunn. "I am under pledge not to reveal his name.

The steam ship Texas, belonging to the Archi pelago American Steamship Company struck a mine at the entrance to the Gulf of Smyrna and sank. One hund red and fifty persons on board were drowned. Another report snys that ninety passengers out of tho 156 on board the Teas were rescued. Several of the rescued were Injured. The crew were not accounted for In this report. It Is alleged the disaster was duo to tho Teaxs deviating from the course Indicated by the pilot boat pre ceding her through the mine field. The Texas was flying the Turkish flag and was engaged In carrying mall from Constantinople to the Levant. It was first said that the Texas was an American vessel, the error arising rrom the ract that It Is part of the fleet of a local concern trading under the name or the Archipelago Amer ican Steamship Company. The Gulf of Smyrn is one of the finest harbors in the Mediterranean, and Smyrna Itself Is tho principal sea port of Asiatic Turkey.
