captain told me to enter the boat.
I found some loose tackle and lowered
myself in. I got out an oar "and rowed
with Fleet, the lookout."
An Italian stowaway, Peuchen said,
appeared and tried to help to row
with a broken arm. The witness con
tinued: "As we rowed away the officers
called us to go to the bow. The
quartermaster refused,- saying: It's
our lives now, not theirs.' "
- The major said the quartermaster
swore and cursed and refused to row.

MANAGING DIRECTOR GIVEN LIT-j
TLE-CONSIDERATION BY I
SENATE !
WIFE SERIOUSLY ILL, HE ASSERTS
White Star Employe Tells How He
Ordered Owner To Get Out Of
Lifeboat In
Hurry
WASHINGTON, April 24. Openly
charging that an atempt had been
made 10 shape the course of the in
quiry of the United States senate
sub-committee into the wreck of the
liner Titanic and declaring that such
"interference" would be no longer i
tolerated, Chairman Smith issued a
caustic statement today, believed to
be aimed at J.. Bruce Ismay, manag
ing director of the White Star line,
when the investigation into - the dis
aster was resumed here today.
Senator Smith exonerated the offi
cers and crew of the Titanic from
being implicated in the alleged at
tempt to block a full expose of the
shipwreck and veiledly hinted that he
had reference to Ismay.
Ismay had appeared early in the
committee room. He requested that
his testimony be taken immediate!?,
explaining that his wife is ill m lon-
don,"and he wished to return home
imediately. Ismay promised to re-,
turn to the United States whenever
summoned. I
After making his statement Smith
declined to call Ismay to the stand. I
callig instead the Fifth Officer Fleet :
of the Titanic.
Fleet told the committee that Quar
termaster Hichens was in charge of
the lifeboat in which he escaped.
The women in the boat he said, urged
Hichens to return to the Titanic and
rescue some of the shrieking passeng
ers left on the vessel to drown, but
that the quartermaster refused. The
women, he said, took their turn at
the oars. -
At this stage in his testimony Fleet
was interrupted by Chairman Smith,
who, in making his veiled attack at
J. Bruce Ismay, manager of the White
Star line said:
"From the very beginning of the
investigation there has been a med
dlesome attempt by certain persons
to influence the course of this commit
tee and to stop its procedure. I also
have heard that misrepresentations
have been made. ' I do not wish to
subpena witnesses whose only story
is based on bias and prejudice.
"I wish it distinctly understood that
this committee will not tolerate the
attempts of anyone to shape its
course.'
Harold Lowe, fifth officer of the Ti
tanic, gave his age as 29 years and
stated that he had followed the sea
since he was 14 years old.
.Lowe declared that the temperature
was 48 degrees when the Titanic sail
ed. He described the fire and life
drills of the crew, asserting that no
drills occurred after the Titanic left
Southampton. He said that he never
er crossed the Atlantic before.
I never took a drink m my life,"
declare! the young officer hotly when
asked if he drank. -
Lowe continued that he went to bed
at 8 o'clock Sunday night before the
disaster and was awakened by voices
on deck.
"I went out and found the passeng
ers wearing lifebelts and preparing
to get into the lifeboats," said Lowe.
The vessel was then tipping at an
angle of from 12 to 15 degrees. Offi
cer Boxhall said that we had struck
an iceberg.
"I got my revolver you never know
what is needed. I helped load lifeboat
No. 5 ind lowered it away. First Of
ficer Murdock was in charge of every
thing and gave active help.
"I ordered Mr. Ismay away from the
boat. I was on the starboard side.
When we got on the Carpathia, the
steward of the rescue ship asked me
if I knew what I had said to Mr. Is
may. I replied that I ha dused pret
ty strong language.
"Ismay . was . over anxious and a
trifle excited, saying constantly, 'Low
er away; lower away.'"
At this juncture Lowe paused in
his narative and glanced at Ismay,
who appeared visibly nervous.
"Shall I say what-1 said?" the wit-'
ness asked.
"Write it on a piece of paper," sug
gested Chairman Smith.
Lowe took paper and pencil and
wrote, "You get the hell out of that."
Resuming Lowe said that Ismay was
excited untij. he had been sworn at,
when he went away to help lower
boat No. 3. Lowe heard First Officer
Murdock order Third Officer Pittman
into one of the boats.
That no general alarm was given to
awaken the pasengers aboard the Ti
tanic when the crash came or sub
sequently was stated by Maojr Arth
ur Peuchen of the Queen's -Own Rif
les, Toronto, Canada, in his testimony
before the senate investigating
committee. Peuchen stated that
at least two women aboard
the Titanic owed their lifes to the
presence of mind of Mrs. John Jacob
Astor. The women, whose names
were not given, slept through the
crash and would have been drowned
in their berths had not Mrs. Astor
rushed to their staterooms and awak
ened them. Major Peuchen said:
"I helped to get ready the first life
boat,, on the port side, only women
were allowed to get into it, and I
did not see a male passenger attempt
to enter. It could have taken more,
but took all the women who were wait
ing to get in. There were about 36
in the boat when it . was lowered. I
saw one or two women who refused
to get in because they would not leave
their husbands. The boat was lower
ed to a point parallel with the sea
deck. Here the quartermaster in
charge cried:
"We can't manage that boat with
only one seaman!" An officer called
MILWAIIE TO HAVE
FIRE-PROOF SCHOOL
The directors of the Milwaukie
school district, in response to senti
ment of t the taxpayers, will have
plans prepared for a fire-proof eight
room high school building in the place
of a -frame structure as at first pro
posed. The cost will be little more,
but the ; taxpayers will support the
directors in the additional expense for
brick or; reinforced concrete. Invest
igation of a site in the high portion
of Milwuukie, east of the Southern Pa
cific track, is now being made, and
a location" probably will be decided
on in a ifew days. This building will
be the central high school for not on

ed to locate it where it may be reach

WHO WORRIED OVER SHIP
DISASTER
NO WARNING GIVEN BY ASSASSIN
Reporters Rush To Aid Of Chief And
Turn Murderer Over To
Police Motive Is
Lacking
SPOKANE, Wash., April 24. City
Editor E. H. Rothrock of the Spokane
Chronicle was assassinated in the ed
itorial rooms shortly after 10 o'clock
this . morning by a man giving his
name to the police as Richard Aleck.
Plainly" showing the influence of li
quor, Aleck entered the office and sul
lenly demanded to see the editor. He
was asked by a reporter who met him
as he entered if a reporter would not
do. After closely scrutinizing the re
porter he said, "No, I would rather
see the editor."
With that he moved slowly toward
the door and just outside in the hall
when Rothrock approached.
"The editor?" Aleck inquired.
Rothock nodded. With that Aleck
drew his hand from his right side coat
pocket and fired with a blue steel' 32
calibre revolver. The ball,struck
Rothrock in the right breast, and with
a groan he fell to the floor. Brand
ishing the gun in the air Aleck snarl
ed an oath and whipping the weapon
downward, fired again, shooting the
city editor through the left arm.
The editorial rooms were filled with
reporters at the time. These men
dashed over chairs and desks to the
rescue of their chief, but Aleck con
temptuously hurled his gun to the
floor and submitted calmly to cap
ture, saying in effect, "Don't strike
me. Don't be afraid I have done my
work, and I am unarmed." He mut
tered something incoherent regard
ing the Titanic disaster and refused
to speak further.
Rothrock cried out Dut once aiier
tr.iriTia- the floor. "Get the doctor,
he said, then grew rigid and was dead
within five minutes, almost Deiore
medical assistance could reach him.
Aleck stubbornly maintained a reti
cent attitude at the station concerning
the shooting. He admitted mat ne
did not know the editor, and said he
would tell the reasons ror tne mura
er in court.
Rothrock had been in the editoral
department of the Chronicle since
1899, having become city editor a few
months ago.
He was 36 years old, born near Law
rence. Kan., was a graduate of Stan
ford university, and had been presi
dent of the Stanford club or bpoKane
for a number of years. A widow and
mother survive him.
Rothrock was prominent in athletic
circles of Spokane,' and was well
known and popular with nearly all the
older residents and business men of
the city. ,
Aside from being intoxicated, Aleck
is believed by police officers to be
insane over the Ttitanic disaster, and
to have been laboring under the hal
lucination that newspapers had in
jured him.
He is apparently a Swede, about
forty years old, solidly built.
Rothrock's wife has been in ill
health for some time and great cau
tion was used in breaking the news
The mother of the victim was a pio
neer of the district surrounding Law
rence, Kan., and is still hearty. Roth
rock's father was formerly a promi
nent cattleman of the middlewest. He
has been dead several years.
