TITANIC CALLING
HELP IGNORED
NEW YORK, April 20.--J. BniCB
Isniny, managing director of the
White Stnr line must remain in the
I'nited States until the federal gov
ernment has nded il-t "nvpstigitiou
into the wreck of the Tirnnie. Thi?
much was made certain here today
when Senator Alden Smith of Michi
gan, chairman of the sub-committee
appointed by the senate commerce
commission, to fix responsibility fot
the disaster, curtly lefused n leanest
from Ismay that he be allowed to sail
this afternoon for England on tho
steamer Lapland.
Probe Delay in News.
The committee investigated the de
lay in getting the news of the disaster
ashore and the false reports nllegcd
to hnve been issued by the White Star
line. Thomas Cottnm, the wireless
operator on the Cnrpathia testified as
follows :
"I sent several messages to the
steamer Baltic, but kent no record of
them. 1 was too busy sending. At
10:30 o'clock Monday morning I sent
nil the details to the Daltic. It was
tho whole story. The Baltic was
coming toward the wreck at the time.
"I was not in touch with the laud
stations then. I told the Baltic of
tho Titanic's sinking, and of the res
cue of those we had picked up. I told
them we were going to New York.
"I did not send ut anv time n re
port that the passengers and crew
had been saved, and that the Titanic
was being towed into port. Nothing
like that was sent ,or suggested to me
by ai" officer, passenger or anyone
else aboard tho Cnrpathia."
Both Feet Frozen.
Biide, tho assistant operator of tho
Titanic, a pule youth but 22 years
of nee, was carried itito tho room with
his face drawn with pain and his eyes
swollen. Ho gritted his teeth as he
was placed on a couch. Bride froze
both feet while awaiting rescue in the
iev water.
The young man testified that his
homo is iu. London, and that ho was
assistant wireless operator on the
Titanic, at n salary of four pounds
monthly. He nnd Phillips alternated
in six hour watches aboard tho liner.
IIo admitted that tho Californiaii
tried to report tho prcsenco of ice
bergs to him but said that ho was
too busy at tho time to take tho re
port. Icebergs Itcportcd,
" M. W. h. which is tho Cnlifom
inn, called tho Titanic, saying that
ho had a report to make regarding tho
toe," said Bride, ''but I was busy,
and did not answer them, Half an
hour later, "( heard tho samo operator
transmitting an too report to tho Bal
tic, and I copied it. I thought it
wis tho same messaj;o which I had
refused, but lis It was not official I

Parti?! Returns Indicate That Setting
Probably Is Netninated Over
Bourne, Though Ceunty District!
I1 May Change Result.
Wilson Carries State and Harry Lane
is Democratic Nominee fer United
States Senator.
PORTLAND, Ore., April 20. Willi
the count coming in slowly, returns
available at noon' today indicated
Colonel Roosevelt hod won tho repub
lican presidential nomination in the
Oregon primaries by n substantial
plurality. As only sonttcrimr returns
fro mthe country districts have been
secured his lead ha.s not been defin
itely ascertained, but is probably 5,
000 or C.000.
La Folletto Wins PortlHBd.
Senator Ln Folletto leads in th-j
race in Multnomah county. Complete
returns from 122 precincts ouf of 197
in Multnomah county give La Folletto
0302; Roosevelt 5536; Tnft 3888.
Roosevelt is running strong in Aiv
tricts outside Multnomah eoitntyiu'd
will undoubtedly prove a winner.
Governor WoQdrow Wilson .of New
Jersey appears to have won tho dem
ocratic presidential nomination, wiih
Speaker Clark running second. In
complete returns from Multnomah
county give Wilson 510, Clark 282,
Governor Ifnrmon of Ohio n poor
third with 97, Clark is running
stronger in the upstate districts.
Outside the rncc for the republican
presidential nomination tho greatest
interest centered in the contest be
tween Senator Bourne and Ben Selling
for the republican senatorial nomina
tion. First reports were that Bourne
was hopelessly snowed under but lat
er it became apparent that he was
making a hard fight. Selling, how
ever, is probably nominated.
Bourne Has a Chance.
At noon the vote in 121 out of 197
precincts iu Multnomah county stood :
Bourne 7310, Selling 0119. Bourne
probnbly will carry Multnomah coun
ty by 2,000 votes. But in the districts
outside Portland Selling was strong
er. The vote from outside districts
stood at noen: Bourne 4225, Selling
0503. Senator Bourne's support es
assert he will be nominated by tho
vote of tho back country counties,
from which no reports have come.
These counties elected him in 1907.
Congressman Lafferty apparently
is renominated for representative in
congress from tho iirst district. Ho
has u lead of 030 votes ovor Judge
Gantenbein, his nearest rival.
Olcott is nominated for secretary
of state by a good majority over
Field.
