Washington, April 27.?Failure to give ler exact position a great field of floating ce that offered a barrier to ships hurrying o the rescue, and the mistake of her own aptain in lushing at top speed through in icecoverod sea?all these combined td tend the Titanic and her 1,600 victimes to heir watery grave in the north Atlantic, rbis was stroflgly indicated today in tes Imony before the senate committee inves igating the ocean tragedy. (Uapt. James Moore of the steamer Mount Temple, which was hurried to the Titanic n response to wireless calls for help, thld if the great stretch of ice which held hlmj iff. Within his view from the bridge he liscerned, he said, another strange steamer >robably a tramd, and a schooner which vas making her' way out of the ice. The Ights of the schooner, he thought, proba cy were those seen by the anxious survi vors of the Titanic and which they franti :ally were tryilfg to reach.." - 8PEAD TOO GBEAT. Capt. Moore denounced as "most unwise" he action of the Titanic's commander, at ushing at 21 knots when he had been ad rlsed of proximity of Ice. The Mount Tem po's commanner testified that he had ipent 27 years In the north Atlantic. When iver Ice was around, he said, he doubled lis watch and reduced speed, and If he lanpened to get caught In an Ice pack, he topped his engines and drifted until the >ea was clear. The witnes also was emphatic In his de claration that the position sent out by the titanic was wrong. He said the ship was light miles futher eastward than its ope eported. This, he declared, he proved by ibservatlon taken the first thing on the lay after the disaster. With what virtually wa?a fleet of steam irs within a radius of 50 miles of the Ti anlc, the officer said this mistake in fli ng accurately the position of the doomed ihlp was a fatal one. With icebergs and loating ice covering the sea, a ship of even he size of the Titanic might well be over ooked through such a variance. IS MAY CHEERED, * J. Bruce lsmay, managing director of he International MaiwuiMIa Marino <wnr>. >any, waa .much cheered by the testimony >f the afternoon. Today he listened eager y to the accounts of his conduct at the ifeboats, as told by the stewards and sea nen who came in contact with him the light of the disaster. His eyes fairly be amed when Steward Crawford told how he rad said to a woman who told him she was istewardess: "You are a woman; take four place in the lifeboat." After the session was over, the corridor n the senate office building near the com nittee roomwas crowded with anxious sail >rs of the Titanic who have been at call of ;he committee since the rescue ship Carpa ;hia brought them to New York. They were a nervous lot In fact they were jroke. Not being premltted to leave, they !aced the prospect of a Saturday night and Sunday without funds. Most of them are nen of families, desirous of sending word lome. Mr. Ismay knew of their circum stances, and asked Senator Smith if some thing could not be done for them. They ire entitled to $4 a day in witness fees and ixpenses but no preparation has been nade to pay them until they are released. MONEY FOB 8AIL0P8. I'lf It Is too late to get money for the lailormen," Mr Ismay declared, "I can ;hat it is advanced." Finally Mr. Cornelius, assistant sergeant it-arms, found a way to cheer the hearts >f the sailors and they were escorted to' lapitol in a body and advanced money, rhls made them a happy lot. P. A. 8. Franklin vice president of the hternatfonal Mercantile Marine company, eft for New York in the afternoon to re urn Monday. Mr. Ismay did not leave, hrough Senator Smith tolld him he was ree to iro anvwhere hn nleasfld. nrovidad le reported in Washington Monday morn ng. \ The committee has not yet released any >f the British members of the Titanic crew >r officers, though all now have given tes imony. Some of them will be recalled lext week. Officer Boxhall is still ill heret >ut probably will be recovered sufficiently o take the stand again next week. Capt. Mooro of the Mount Temple was he first important witness of the day. Telling of the night of the disaster, he aid: HEAKD OP MESSAGE. "At 12:80 a. m., April 15,1 was awakened >y the steward with a message from the ilarconi operator of my ship which said hat the Titanic was sending out a C. Q. D. nessage." "What reply did you send?" asked Sena or Smith. "None whatever, sir: we did not want to itop these distress messages going out ind the operator said the Titanic could not lear him. I blew the whistle at once and )L UUIUU mo WUIW3 Lurvttiu tuo XlUUiit O jositlon. I dressed and went to the char oom. "We steamed up and sailed about >y compass. We turned right toward the n tanic. Then I went to the chief en gineer ;old him about the Titanic and to push up ;he fires, wake up all extra firemen and got ;hem buisy. I said, "If neceesary give the firemen a lot of room sir." He added that when he got this message from Tltantic he figured that vessel was ibout 49 miles away and he made for her it about 11 knots an hour. The oaptaln said after he stopped a few minutes at 2:25, 3hip's time, to avoid the ice, he proceeded slowly on the course towards the Tltantic. He saw a small schooner coming froxa the direction of the Tltantic moving not more than two knots an hour. When he saw her at 3 a. m., she was, be estimated, about 12 miles from the Tltantic. He thought the [ight which Officer Boxhall of the Tltantic, ana otners on ine liner saw wnen me jliuuj io was firing the distress rockets and Sashing the Morse signal might have been the light of a tramp steamer which was ou his port bow. THERE SOON AFTER DISASTER. "I went slowly after 3:25 o'clock and reached very close the Titantic's position at 4:30 Monday," he continued. "I saw no wreckage and no bodies, sir. There was nothing but the ice and tho tramp steamer." The officer was asked whether he heard that certain of his passengers had said they had seen rockets fired by the Titanic. Capt. Moore replied that all the passengers were asleep, but that ho had seen the state ments in the newspapers. , r.-J-y O. . *l * l? ll?W> l'M*ili<il i II III lllll I Cdfct. Moore r&id a long list of messages 1 from the Titanic intercepted by the Mount ] Temple's operator- It was virtually a com- ( plete record of the wireless appeals sent 1 out by the doomed vessel, and Senator \ Smith complimented the witness for his i thoughtfulness in bringing it. \ ( P. A. S. Franklin, vice president of the 1 International Mercantile marine, was re 1 called. He had been examined twice be fore. Senator Smith again went over the testimony taking with reference to the s time the White Star line had first received ? authentic news .of the sinking of the Tl- ? tanic. ..... > i . , . FIKST INFORMATION. . ( . "Our first authentic information came t through our agent at Montreal, said Mi*, i Franklin. "I consider, though, that the ' first official information was received from ' Capt. Haddock.of the Olympic. We had < virtually the same information from the Associated Press." 1 ".Between inn ume uiai yuu tewiv?u tui? * information from Montreal and the time 1 your company made public the informa tion you received from Montreal, did your 1 company reinsure the Titanic and its 1 cargo ?" asked Senator Smith. 1 "No, sir,"said Franklin. . 1 "Did you make any attejnpt to rein sure?" \ .. '' "None whatever." The witness said the ship was insured for a round $5,000,000, while the company 1 insured itself for $2,000,000. 1 Andrew Cunningham, stateroom stew- 1 ard on the Titanic, testified that at 12:30 1 the order was given to arouse all passen- 1 gers who were in their staterooms. < "Was there any emergency alarm to call 1 passengers on the Titanic ?" "I don't think so." ' "How are the passengers alarmed then 1 in time of distress V" "Each stateroom steward calls his pas- 1 sengers. "After that William T. Stead asked me to show him how to put on^ life-belt," said Cunningham. "I put the life-belt on him. That was the last one I put on." "I put a life-belt on myself after the pas sengers were taken care of: After all the boats had gone a . mate and I jumped into the sea." PICKED UP BY LIFEBOAT. The witness told of finally being picked up by iifeboat No. 4. He said there were nine men and a number of women aboard. Frederick Ray, another steward, said that when he was awakened by the colli sion he aroused every one in the room. Twenty minutes later, he said, they were ordered by the head steward to report at their positions at the boats. "When we got to the boats, they were just being swung out," he said. "At my boat, No. 9, there were two sailors and about 3. dozen men. I did not see any wo men at the time. Just as we were about to lower a boat, a large woman was helped in. She kept sobbing and crying out: 'Let me get away out of here. I never was in an open boat in my life.' I was forced finally to say to her sharply, 'You have got to go and you might as well make the best of it.' Just after we helped the woman in, a baby wrapped in a blanket was thrown to me and I caught it. There were no sailors in either of the boats, No. 9 or No. 15, and we had trouble getting away. We rowed all night and the women were pretty com-< fortable. I wanted to stay back to save some one else if possible, but no one would listen to it and I eventually gave in and pulled away with the others." EASY TO GET IN. According to Day, the loading was not done on the top or boat deck, as previous witnesses have testified* but from "A", deck, the one just below. The boats he said were dropped down level with "A" deck, where the people, could step Into them without the slightest trouble.' Henry Samuel Etches, a Titanic steward, testified that he went on deck and assisted in launching No. 7 boat. Third Officer Pitman and Mr. Ismay, he said, helped i him in keeping the falls clear. This was ' on the boat deck. "Mr. Ismay called out, 'Men form a line end let the ladles through'/' said Etches. "Mr. Murdock also kept calling, 'Ladles, this way. Are there any other ladies'here before this boat is lowered ?'" "How many men went In Ne. 7 i" asked Senator Smith. "Three to man the boat," said the wit ness. "A female came along," said the witness, Columbus wagons are thoro of select wood stock; they a striped; they are durable. We every requirement. We have horse styles.

Officer Murdock or lered me Into, boat Np. 5. Then Officer llurdock took Pitman by the hand, "Good >ye, old man, good luck." BOTH SAVED. "Just then a man and woman were itandlng beside the boat She had her v > irms around his neck. She was crying, ind I heard hor say, 'I can't leave without rou. I can't leave you.' With that I turn id my head, and the next moment I. saw ;hat woman with the man sitting behind ler in the boat. Just then a voice said. Throw that man out,' but we were already )eing lowered away and the man remain 3d."

Etches said as the Titanic went down. ;hey saw a light which he said he believed tvas the masthead light of a ship. Others iboard thought It was a star low down in the heavens.
