Roe rark Declares That Death Itcsoltlng From Violent Injury to Sloflo Organ Slay Bo Presented. CHICAGO. April 27. (Special.) Miracles of surgery which Involve the dismembering of dead bodies to recon struct the living are declared to be pos sibilities of the Immediate future by Dr. Koswell Park, proft-ssor of surgery of the University of Buffalo. In a scientific article which deals with hla theories with a wealth of detail. Pr. Park tells In the current number of the Journtl of the American Medical Association how this can be accom plished. Hla plan simply Is to make practical tiM of the live organs that remain In the corpse. ilnco drain may result from vloent Injury to one organ the brain or heart, for Instance Dr. Park says that the remaining live tissues may ? grafted upon the body of an Injured peron with the same hope of success that Burbank exhibits In graft ing a flower upon a tree or bush with which is has not before been associated by nature. In this manner, according to hia statement, practi-ally every part of the body, with the exception of a diseased part, may be used with good effect by practical surgeons. Teetn. bones, flesh and muscles, he says, may be used In carrying health and renewed life to at least 50 patients by the use of only one body. Countless operations hitherto looked upon as Impossible are de- cared posslbe In this way. WRONG POSITION GIVEN I C'-n 1 1 n u1 From SMmt Par-. the sailor men." Mr. Ismay said, "I can see that It Is advanced." Finally they were escorted to th Capitol In a body and witness fees were advanced to tbem. P. A. S. Franklin, vice-president of the marine company. left for New Tork late In the afternoon to return Mon day. Mr. Ismay did not leave, though Senator Smith told him he waa free to go where be pleased, provided he re' ported In Washington Monday morning. I am not going to ew lorn.' Mr. Ismay said tonight, "but I am going to rest tomorrow. I'm not going to tell you where, but I will be here Mon day morning. The Mount Temp'e's captain read a long list of messages from the Titanic Intercepted by the Mount Temple a op erator. It was virtually a complete record of the wireless appeals aenl out -fcr b doomed vessel. - "At 1:1 the Titanic was still calling C J. D..' " said Captain Moore. "At 1 ; It raised the Olympic and said et your boats ready; going down fast by tb head.' Frankfort replied at 1.4S utartlrg for you.' sis minutes later the Titan.- flashed: 'C. Q. D., boiler flooded. "A message from D. F. F. then fol lowed. 'Are there any boats around you already? There waa no answer. Other ships then began calling, but could get no answer, the captain said. Later . Blrma raised the Olymplo and reported: "All quiet now. Titanic has not sr. ken since 1:47." The Carpathia at 1:21 sent the message: "Are you still there? We are firing rockets." "DM you see those rockets?" inter rupted Senator Smith. "I saw no rockets at all that night. I thought of sending up rockets myself, but did not do so because I feared that It mlgM divert other ships hurrying to the Titanic" Of rwev Title Draws I a e'er. Second Officer Llghtoller. of the Ti tanic, was recalled In the afternoon Senator Smith asked him If he heard the testimony of Captain Moore, of the Mount Temple, relating to suction of a ship going down. Mr. Llghtoller said he waa drawn under by water rushing Into the funnels and not by suction. "I was blown away from the blower of the ship," said Llghtoller. "and then was sucked In again by, the rushing waters and then blown a second time alongside of an overturned lifeboat. P. A. S. Franklin, vice-president of the International Mercantile Marine, waa recalled. Senator Smith again went over, the testimony taken with . reference to the time the White Star Line had first received authentic news of the sinking of the Titanic The Senator was the only member of the committee present. Our first authentic Information came through oar agent at Montreal.' said Mr. Franklin. 'I consider, though, that the first official Information waa received from Captain Haddock, of tha Olympic We had virtually the same information from the Associated Press." "The Information from Montreal then waa correct V Aewe "Mai-rel.mahy ( errect." Marvelously correct, but you must remember we had tha newa previously from tne Associated press. The witness waa then asked pointedly wny (ne lejegram was sent to Rep resentative Hughes, of West Virginia, whose daughter was aboard the Tl tanlc. that the ship waa being towed to Halifax by the Virginian and that all the passengers were safe. The tele, gram. timed 1:17 Monday night, prompted Senator Smith to put a ques tion to the witness, which he saJd waa so direct that at the outaet he desired to say that It was not asked la spirit of Impertinence. "Between the time that you received this Information from Montreal and th time your company made public the Information you received from Mon treal, did your company reinsure th Titanic and Its cargo?" asked Senator Smith. "No. sir." said Mr. Franklin. "Did you make any attempt to re insure?" "None whatever." Relsursaet .t At I sap ted. "Was any effort made by any of your company to reinsure with Lloyds' In London?" The insurance Is all handled in New Tork. and If anything of that kind was done I would bar known It," said Mr. Fmnklln. "You did. however, at S A. M.. Mon day. April 15. notify your Liverpool arent that th Tltaaio had met with an accident":" said Senator Smith. "We sent them all the Information we had at that time." "If your agents in England had re. Insured your cargo, would you have known of 117" T. and there was no one In Enr Und vho had Anvthlrif to dn -i,h Llfetesata Kaally Loaded. According to Steward Ray, th load ing of the llfeboata was not dona on th top, or boat deck, as previous wit nesses have testified, but from "A" deck, the one Just below. The boats. he said, were dropped down level wun "A" deck, where they could be boarded without the slightest trouble. They wer not swung out from the deck and almost Inaccessible so far aa women were concerned?" inquired sen ator rmun. a. "Most emphatically not." said trfe witness. "They were accessible and easy to get Into." When Kay was excused. Henry Sam uel Ktches. of Southampton, another steward, was called. Etches bad charge of eight staterooms on the "B" deck and Number 3 on "A" deck, which was occunled bv Mr. Andrews, who repre sented the builders of the Titanic Etches says he saw Andrews about 12:10 o'clock Sunday night. "Mr. Andrews told me to go with him to "A" deck." said Etches, "and he told me to see that all the passen gers opened their doors and that all had llfebelta.- "Did he ask you to put a lifebelt on him?' Senator Smith asked. Balldrr Wltbewt Lifebelt. No. and I never aaw him with one." Etches also was steward to Benja min Ouggenhelm. He told of going to Guggenheim's room, where he started to put a lifebelt on the multi-million aire. Thla will hurt." said Guggen heim. "I told Mr. Guggenheim." said Etches. "to put on some more clothes and I wouid be back ln. minute. I went to another room." Did you go backT" "Yes. and put the lifebelt on Mr. Gug- gennelm. The witness said he then went on tha J boat deck and assisted In launching No. ? boat. Third Officer Pitman and Mr. Ismay. he aald. helped him. Mr. Ismay called out: "Men. form a line and let the ladles naas." said Etches. Ifow many men went In No. 77" asked Senator Smith. "Three, to man th boat. said tha witness. "A female came along." said the wit ness, "Just before the boat was low ered and Mr. Ismay called to ber to get In. 'I'm only a stewardess. sbe aald. and Mr. Ismay replied: It makes j no difference, yon re a woman. Take your place.' " Wemea Plead Agalast Risk. Pitman, said Etches, wanted to go back to the aid of those In the water after the Titanic had gone down and bad given orders to do so. when th women pleaded with him not to. "They said: "Why should you risk our lives la a hopeless effort to save them? declared Etches. Etches said after the Titanic went down they saw a light which he said he believed was a masthead light of a ship. Others aboard thought It was star low down In the heavens. "We pulled for It, however." be said. "but we did not get any nearer to It." William Burke, another steward. who cared for Mr. and Mra. Isidor Straus, followed Etches. "What time did Mr. and Mrs. Straus dine Sunday night. April 147" he was asked. - About 7 o'clock. Did you see them again?" Not after they left the dining- room. Mra. Mraaa Deellae to Leave. Alfred Crawford, another steward. testified that when the Titanic struck, he went below and told the occupants of th staterooms to dress warmly, after which he conducted them to the boat deck. He then assisted In load- Ins No. 5 boat and went to hla regu lar station at No. 8. In this boat Mrs. Straus had placed her maid and had passed a rug to her, he said. "2he was about to get In herself, when suddenly she turned, put her arms around her husband's neck. and said: 'We've been all these years together; where you go, I will go.' She refused to get In."
