Th ! halted States senate sub-committee. ! which investigated the sinking of the i White Star liner Titanic, with a loss 1 of more than 1,500 lives, following a I collision with an iceberg off the New ; Foundland coast last month, formally presented its report to the senate to day. The principal findings were as fol lows: That the Titanic was running at the rate of 24 1-2 miles an hour at the time of the collision. That all on board would have been i saved but for the "negligent indif ference" of the liner Californian to answer the Titanic's distress signals. That of the vessels near the Ti tanic at the time, only the Carpa'hla assisted. The report recommends increased life-saving apparatus and regulation of wireless equipment: restrictions in manning the vessels, compulsory searchlights and generally revolution ary reforms in the construction of ships. WASHI(iTON, May '.IM. Teeming with eloquence, com bining praise for heroNin and scathing rebuke for negligence and cowardice of the must ap palling murine disaster of his tory, was the final and official ie(iilein today in the senate for the victims of the Titanic. Sen n tor Smith, of Michigan, chair mini of the senate investigating committee, summed up his views of the evidence develojed. That every soul aboard the U in nt steamship might have been saved, hut for the indifference, in almost criminal neglect of Captain Stanley Lord and the other oflicers of the "('aliforn ian" was the most startling charge Smith bitterly made. ''Needless sacrifice" of at least tive hundred lives because the "strangely insufficient number of life-bouts," were not tilled, was nlso charged. "Obsolete mid antiquated ship ping laws" and "laxity of regu lation and hasty inspection" by the British Iwmrd of trude were denounced by Smith. As a con tributory cause he named the indifference of Captain Smith, of the Titnnle, for Ignoring the warning and forcing the Titanic full speed through the northern waters. That Captain Smith had expatiated his offense by a hero ic death was Smith's tribute to the dead commander. Lack of discipline among the crew and cowardice of some of its members, Indicated after the crash, whs scathingly arraigned. To the two Titanic wireless op erators, Philips and Bride, the senator paid a glowing tribute. He lauded Captain Rostron, of the rescue ship Carpathia. Not a word of criticism for J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the steamship Carpathia, was uttered by the Michigan senator, hut he caustically criticised the White Star Line for the action in withholding news of the dis aster, received, he said, sixteen hours before it was reluctantly divulged. In eloquent terms, the chair man depicted the folly of send out the greatest ship afloat with out sufficient tests, a strange crew and no drills or discipline. The Titanic, he said, was follow ing the proper course, although one known to be dangerous at that season, but the speed was gradually and continually in creased until the maximum was the death blow. Rebuke for those in half-filled life-boats who stood by and re fused aid to struggling, drown ing swimmers until "all the noise had ceased." was voiced. "Upon that broken hull," the senator concluded, "new vows were taken, new fealty expressed, old love renewed, and those whr bud been devoted in life went proudly and defiantly on the last life pilgrimage Journey. In such a heritage we must feel oursel ves more Intimately related to the sea than ever lefore. and henceforth It "ill send ba k to n on its rising tide the cheering salutations from those lost." have Lame t aik Is uMially aused rhe'irr.atism of the mus-'.s of the l.-ii-k for w..kh you i'.l find nc-thln? t.efe'r than 'l;ai:it-e; Iain's I.!:.In.er.t. r !-:!

Carrying on his campaign for New Jersey's 2$ delegates in the republican national convention right up to the hour when the balloting started throughout the state. President Taft reached here this afternoon, making ten speeches during the morning. Everywhere he urged the vot ers "not to depart from the wise tradition which limits a presi dent to two terms." In addressing a gathering of ; I ' ! ! school children at Woodbury, the president predicted that woman suffrage would soon be the gen- eral rule rather than the excep- tlon. After his meeting at Young's Tier at Atlantic City last night, the president walked along the broad walk, breathing the sea air. Within 30 minutes a huge crowd had gathered, fol lowing at his heels. SCH MIT READY FOR MORE POLITICS. SAN FRANCISCO, May 2S. Is former Mayor E. E. Schmltz, against whom the last graft indictments were dismissed by Superior Judge Law ler Saturday, after a five years' bat tle in the superior courts here, a broken, dispirited man, embittered by his experience and of the opinion that the game of politics Is not worth the candle? He Is not. Schmitz emphatically denied today that he has been made a pessimist by his experiences. He declared that never, even In the darkest hours of his trouble, has he been wistful to return to the posi tion of orchestra leader, from which he was taken and made mayor of San Francisco by Abe Ruef, one time boss of the city and now In San Quentln prison for helping debauch n city. Indeed. Schmitz declares positive ly, that he is not through with poli tics; that he will again enter the po litical arena In the near future. "My faith In my fellow men and myself," said Schmitz with a smile, "has been kept alive by the con stancy of my fr'ends in my adversity. I would live the past " years over again for that." 1TI.KNSHII PAPERS REVOKED FOR FRAl'D. WASHINGTON May 2S.
