May 28. Blame for Titanic disaster is chargeable dl rectly to the failure of tin- dead (.'apt. Smith to hoed repeated warnings of Icebergs ahead, but responsibility for unnecessary loss <>i life must be shar? ed by ('apt. Lord, of the steamship Callfornian, through his disregard of distress signals. This is the Unding of the Senate committee which investi? gated the sinking of the Titanic, as prepared In s comprehensive speech delivered by William Alden Smith, of Michigan, chairman of the com? mittee. Senator Smith declared that re? sponsibility also rests upon the Brit? ish board of trade. "to Whose laxity of regulation, and hasty Inspection, the world Is largely indebted for the awful fatality." In denouncing Capt. Lord of the Callfornian, the Senator said the Tltanic's distress signals were plainly seen from the deck of his vessel a short distance away. America will leave to England the chastisement of those guilty, asserted the Senator, and he quoted British law to show that ('apt. Lord might bo prosecuted for a misdemeanor. ??ber conclusions presented, in brief, were as follows: Before the Titanic departed on her maiden voyage then- wore not suffi? cient tests of boilers. bulkheads, equipment or signal devices. Officers and ?rew ware strangers to each other and not familiar with the ship's implements or tools, and no drill or station practice took place and no helpful discipline prevailed. The Speed of the Titanic WSJ twenty-four and one-half miles an hour at the time of the accident, al? though officers of the Titanic had been advised of th'- presence of ice? bergs by the steamships Baltic, Amerika and Callfornian. Passengers were not advised of danger, although President Ismay. of tile W hite Star Line, who was taking the vessel's maiden voyage, was in? formed. So general alarm was given nor any organised system of tafet) undertaken. Of th,. 1,321 passengers and Ml 9 members ?f the crew on board, there was room in the lifeboat- for only 1,176 persons ami because of lack of orderly discipline the boat.* took oft only ?''l persons, being rescued from the water. Officers of the White star Line ? battled with the truth" after receiv? ing Information from their Montreal office Monday morning following the accident. I Senator Smith condemned "antl I qua ted shipping laws and overripe administrative boards" and asked that all nations act together in ship? ping reforms. ' New laws." he said. " will best testify our affection for the dead." <*apt. Rostron, of the rescue ship Carpathla, was praised by Senator Smith, and he urged thai Congress recognise his valor . \t the outset, Senator Smith de? fended the course of hi- committee in holding British subjects lo secure their testimony without delay, and brletly answered criticism of his lac^t oi nautical knowledge. "Our course was simple und plain ?to gather the facts relating lo this disaster while they were still vivid realities." he said. "Questions of di\<rse citizenship pave way to the universal destro for th" simple truth, it was of paramount Importance thai we should cat quickly to avoid Juris dietional confusion and organised op? position at Ion.r abroad. WY. of course, recognised thai ihc ship was under a foreign Hag; but the ilves of man) of our own countrymen had been sacrificed and the safety of many had been put in grave peril, and it wa \ Ital ihat the entire matter shouid be revb?wed before un Ameri? can tribunal if legislative action wag tu he taken for fulun guld inee. "Without any pret< nslon to ex p, 1,. (,r special know ledge of nautical ait ilrs n, \crthch ss. I mil <d ihe opinion that vcr> few Important facts which were susceptible ol be? ing known escaped our scrutiny. Knerg> is often more desirable than learning, and I he Inquisition serves a useful purpose to the state. ?
