Senator Smith privately, examined F.

before women passengers were, told to
get In. Many Jumped over tha space
between the deck and the boat, wnicn
waa susoended 70 feet above the water.
Others refused to take tha risk. Jlany
hnhlp .nd children, he said, were
I tossed over the rail into the boat. A

and almost fell overboard. She waa

The committee published the testi
mony which was taken at . separate
executive sessions yesterday. Albert
Haines, boatswain's mate on the Tl
tanlc, aald that ha took charge or a
lifeboat and helped In 60 passengers
and members of the crew. Hearing
cries, he called to the sailors aft of the
sinking liner, asking if . they thought he
should return to tha vessel's side. They
agreed that Haines' boat was . already
so crowded that it was difficult to use
the oars, and that It would be useless
to go back. Haines saw no icebergs
until dawn, ha said.
Samuel Hemming, a, lamp trimmer,
testified before Senator Smith that the

tried to go back and rescue the drown
ing. He said Lowe transferred many

cued several others from trie wreckage

Through an order Issued by Federal
juage uoiverton directing J. Thorburn
Boss and A. A. Llndsley,' his brother-in-law,
to appear In the federal oourt on
May 20 to show causa why they are
not In contempt of court, the affairs of
uosa ana the Title Guarantee. A Trust
company are again In the ltmollch.
The contempt case grew out of a suit
In thti state circuit court March 16
In which Llndsley attempted to force
J" , i w?ra' Jr" to trnsrer on the
books 98 shares of stock in the Com
mercial Trust company, a subsidiary
corporation to the Title Guarantee i
ji rum company, irom tno names of Boss
and hla dummies to his name as ths
new owner.
On petition of R, 8. Howard. Jr. th.
case was remanded from the state to
the federal court on tha grounds that
the suit involved property and litigants
under the jurisdiction of the fednmi
court. Ross and Llndsley were cited
for contempt at the same time for
transferring stock in a comnanr nh.i.
diary to one under th Jurisdiction of
tha federal court contrary to th orW
of Judge Wolverton. The hearing of
me contempt cose was nret set for
April 8 but upon request of Charles
vv. nuiton, attorney lor Koss and Llnds
ley, It was delayedWuntil May 20.'
In his petition for an order restrain
ing Robs and Llndsley from the prosecu
tion of the suit Receiver Howard de
clares that tha Commercial Trust com
pany Is a subsidiary company and not
as Llndsley calls It In his compla'lnt
a private corporation. in substantia
tion of this claim Mr. Howard states
that in an Inventory by George H.
Hill, a former receiver who was' a vlca
president of the Title Guarantee & Trust
company before it got Into difficulty,
tiio assets and liabilities of the Com
mercial-Trust company were included
in the lists of those of the Title Guar
antee & Trust company. Hill Is taken
as an, authority by Mr. Howard on ac
count of the fact that he waa thorouuhlv
conversant with the affairs of the bank
prior- to Its going to the wall.
Another fact that would; tend to indl
cate that the Commercial Trust conv
pany had no separate entity is the
lack of a separate set of books. All of
the transactions of the company made
