REPORT TITANIG !S BEFORE SENATE Captain of Liner Californian Severely Condemned for Failure to Aid. rVEW LEGISLATION URGED Commit! rxtlarea loce Live Would Have IWn Savd Th roti g h R-It rr Mana-citvrnt of Boats After I-auix-lilnc- WASHINGTON. May Th Tttanlo disaster of April 1". In which liI7 souls went down amid Icebergs off the banks of Newfoundland, wss the theme of speech, report and propound leglslstlon In tha tfenate fwlay. Senator William AMm Smith, of Mlrhla-an. submitted th report of tha IniMtlnllon bjr -the Scnsle commerce commlilM), a feature of which waa tha condemnation of the captain of the lliimtr California for not aroma- to tha aid of the slnalr. vessel, delivered a speech In which he personally took much atrnnaer around In reviewing tna disaster, and Introduced measures de signed to safeguard life In ocean traf fic. Tha Senate passed a Joint resolution extending the thanks of Congress and appropriating Itooo for a medal to Cap tain Arthnr II. Kostron. of the I'ar pathla. and ale., a vote of thanks to the (arpathia's crew. The resolution was Introduced bv Senator Smith. It was adopted Immediately. The report Itself, which was present ed by Senator Pmttn Just before ha delivered hta speech, names no par ticular person, as being responsible for the wreck, but la largely a review of evtdenca and contains many recom mendations. Attention la called to the fact that on the day of tha disaster three distinct warnings of lea were sent to Captain Dmlth. J. Ilruce tumar. managing di rector of the White Mar line. Is not held responslhle for the ship's high speed, la fact, he Is barely mentioned In tha report. raassaltte Agrees a aaelaaleaa. The commute la agreed upon these principal conclusions: The supposedly water.tlght compart ments of tha Titanic were not water tight, because of the non-water-tight condition of the decks where tha trans verse bulkheads ended. The Californian. controlled by tha same conrern as tha Titanic, was near er the Titanic than the 1 miles re ported by her captain and her officers ami crew "saw the distress signals of the Titanic and failed to respond tn accordance with the dictates of hu manity. International usage and tha requirements of law." The committee concludes that tha Californian might have saved all tha lost passengers and crew of tha ship that went down. The mysterious lights on an unknown ship seen by the passengers on the Titanic undoubtedly were en tha Cal Uornlan. less than I miles away. The full rapacity of tha Tltanlc's lifeboata was not utilised. because while only pasaerurers were saved, the ships boats could have carried n:. No general alarm waa sounded, no whistle blown and no systematic warn ing waa given to tha emlangered pas sengers, and It was IS or Xv minutes after the collision before Captain fmlth ordered tha Tltanlc's wireless operator to send out a distresa mes sage. The Tltanlc's crew wss only mea gerly acquainted with Irs positions and duties In case of accident and only one drill was held before the maWen trip. Many of the crew Joined the ship only a few hours before she sailed and were In Ignorance of their positions until tha following FrWay. flefore the Titanic departed on her maiden voyage there were no suffi cient tests of boilers, bulkheads, equip ment or signal devices. Officers and crew were strangers to each other and not familiar with th ship's Implements or tools, and no drill or station prsrtlce took place and no helpful discipline prevailed. Th speed of the Titanic was S4i miles an hour at the time of the acci dent, although officers of the Titanic had been advised of the presence of Icebergs by the Faille. Amerlka and Californian. Heats.' rwll J !. tf the li: passengers and mem bers of the crew on board, there was room In lifeboats for only 1IT persons, and becsue of lack of orderly disci, pline the boats took off only 704 per son. 1J being rescued from the wster. Officers of th White Htar Line "bat tled with the truth" after receiving In formation from their Montreal office en the Monday morning following the accident. "l.e positions so definitely reported to th Titanic." says the report. "Just preceding the accident located lea on oeta sides of th lan in which sh was traveling Ni discussion took pise among th officers; no conference was railed to consider thee warnings: no noed was given to them. The spec! of the vessel was not relssed. th lookout wss not lncreed." The committee does not belleve th wireless operator on the CarpatMa was dulv vlgilsnt In handling his memaues after the accident and declared th practice of allowing wireless operators to sell their stories should be stopped. It Is recommended that all ships car rvlng more tlian lee passenger hav two searchllshts: thst a revision ba made of steamship Inspection Uws of f..reticn countries to the standard pro posed In the I'nlted States: that every hip be required to carry sufficient lifeboats for all passengers and crews: that the use of wireless be regulated to prevent Its us by amateurs, and that all ships have a wireless operstor on duty constantly. I alllvralaa Is Veres. The committee concludes thst the Tl tanlc's lights were visible to the Csl t'orntan before she struck th Iceberg snd the Californian must have, seen thr distress rockers fired from th brids of th Titanic. Tha report says: The committee Is forced to the In evitable conclusion that th Califor nian. controlled by tn earn company, was nearer th Titanic than tha 1 miles reported by her captain, and that her of ficers and crew aaw the distress sig nals af th Titanic and failed to respond to tbam. In accordance- with th dic tates of humanity, tnternatlonsl usags and the requirements of law. The only reply to U'-e distress signsls wss a rounter signal from a large white light which wss flashed for nearly two hours from the mast of tha Californian. In oor opinion, such conduct, whether arising from Indifference or gross care--Teevnesw.- is most reprehensible, and places on the commander of tha Cali fornian a grave responsibility. "The wireless operator of the Cali fornian was not aroused until 1:3 A. M, New York time, on the morning of the ISth. after considerable eoversatlon between officers and member of the crew had taken place aboard the ship reeardlns- these distress signals or J rockets, and was directed by th chief omcer to see it mere was uj the matter, a a ship had been firing rock els during the night. The Inquiry thus set on foot at once disclosed the fact that tha Titanic had sunk. Ho assistance been promptly proffered or had the wireless operator of th Cali fornian remained a few minutes long er at his post on Sunday evening, that shin might have had the proud dis tinction of saving the lives of the passengers and crew of the Titanic Mar Might Have Bees Saved. The committee believes many more lives could have been saved had the survivors been concentrated In a few lifeboats and had the boats thus re leased returned to the wreckage for others. The committee deems the course fol lowed by Captain Rostron. of the Car pathia. as deserving of the highest prals and worthy of especial recogni tion. His detailed Instructions Issued in antlclitlon of the rescue of the Ti tanic were a "marvel of systematic preparations and completeness, evlnc- KILLING IS PROBED Gebhardt Fires Shot After He Is Attacked, Says Wife. l.MVKHMTT OF ORKOO CRADf.

Senator tmith had this to ssy of Cap tain Smith: Vaptaln Smith knew the sea. and his clear eye and steady hand had often guided his ship through danger ous paths: for 40 years storms sought In vain to vex him or menace his craft. His Indifference to danger was one of the direct and contributing causes of this unnecessary tragealy. while his own willingness to die waa the ex piating evidence of his fitness to live. Those of us who knew him well not In anger, but In sorrow (lie one spe cific charge against him. overconrt dence and neglect to heed the oft-re-poatrd warninKS of his friends; but In his horrible dismay, when his brain waa afire with honest retribution, we ran still see. In his manly bearing and his tender solicitude for the safety of women and little children, some traces of his lorty spirit. "Failure of Captain Lord to arouse the wireless operator on his ship, who esslly could hare ascertained the name of the vessel In distress and reached her In time to avert loss of life." said Senator Smith, "places a tremendous responsibility upon this officer, from which It will be difficult for him to escape."
